In the world of Type-Moon, start by becoming Morgan's husband!

"Let's go back first."

"Many things are not suitable to be said outside."

"……Right."

【What Minamoto no Raikou didn’t know was. 】

[Besides the need to keep it secret, there is another reason why you want to go back to the mansion. 】

【That is Tamamonomae. 】

[You realize that her capture was not an accident—because there is another great Onmyoji in Heian-kyō.]

[And it is impossible for Fujiwara no Tokuko to keep the emperor's soul imprisoned there forever. ]

[After all, as time goes by, it will definitely arouse suspicion. ]

【She must find a permanent solution. 】

[Then——Tamamonomae, a fox demon, is the perfect scapegoat. ]

Because she is a fox demon, she can put all the problems on Tamamonomae.

Because she was a fox demon, even if there were some strange things about the Emperor's death, it was all reasonable.

Because she is a fox demon, she bears sins that she should not bear, and no one will seek justice for her.

This is why Tamamonomae must enter the court.

She is the perfect sinner and a tribute to the Queen Regent.

Ian couldn't imagine what would have happened to Tamamonomae if he hadn't appeared.

But he knew——

I must tell this fox demon:

She was never some filthy thing that brought disaster.

Only the unsatisfied human heart is the root of all evil.

147. The Great Onmyoji Developed Another Treasure of Tamamonomae (-word chapter)

[You and Minamoto no Raikou returned to the mansion. ]

[You are still thinking about Tamamonomae in your heart. 】

【After all, you have already thought about telling her the truth. 】

[You found an excuse to temporarily leave Minamoto no Raikou.]

[You come to the door of Tamamonomae's room. ]

[That's across from your room and Minamoto no Raikou's.]

"Xiaoyu."

Ian called into the room through the shoji door.

However, no response came.

"..."

Ian was silent for a moment, then spoke again:

"Xiaoyu, can I come in?"

After saying this, the Great Onmyoji did not go in directly.

He waited for a few seconds to make sure there was no sound before opening the door.

no one.

There was no sign of Tamamonomae in the empty room.

"Is this going out?"

Ian couldn't help but have this thought in his mind, but he quickly denied it.

Because it is unlikely that Tamamonomae will go out.

She doesn't have any friends in Kyoto.

As for hanging out or something, Ian didn't think she would do such a thing.

and so--

Tamamonomae should still be in the mansion.

Ian's thoughts were soon confirmed.

Because he heard a familiar chant.

"Migu..."

[You looked in the direction of the sound.]

【You discovered that it came from your and Minamoto no Raikou's room. 】

On the opposite side?

Ian looked towards the other side of the room—he shouldn't have heard it wrong.

What is she doing over there?

【You leave the room you are in now.】

You came to the other side.

【You pushed open the shoji door.】

A swipe.

The shoji door was opened by Ian.

The scene before his eyes was something he had never expected.

He saw that the quilts that he and Minamoto no Raikou usually covered themselves with had been neatly folded and placed on the tatami beside them.

Tamamonomae was lying on the bed.

She held Ian's clean clothes in one hand and sniffed them carefully.

Even though the flavor may have faded, the lonely fox demon still had an intoxicated expression.

Her legs were slightly apart.

The other hand was gently fiddling with his fox treasure.

The interior of the fox's treasure was filled with a white towel.

It seems that Tamamonomae has also mastered the method of being full without overflowing.

only--

The scene at this moment seemed a little subtle to Ian.

The light from outside shone in obliquely and fell squarely on the hand that could not bear the loneliness.

Tamamonomae turned around and saw the great Onmyoji standing at the door.

In an instant, the fox demon's beautiful golden eyes were filled with panic.

"Mr. Abe, I..."

however--

Before Tamamonomae could finish her words, the Great Onmyoji had already walked in front of her.

He bent down, covered her mouth, and then whispered softly in her ear:

"I did not see anything."

"besides."

"Xiaoyu, wait for me in the room tonight."

"Eh?"

Before Tamamonomae could react, the Great Onmyoji had already stood up and left the room.

Everything returned to silence.

It was as if no one had ever been here.

Tamamonomae was the only one left sitting on the tatami, looking a little dazed.

【You haven't forgotten what you just saw. 】

[But you don’t feel disgusted, instead you feel a little sad for Tamamonomae. ]

What does her feeling mean to you?

[Your heart is in a tangle.]

[Minamoto no Raikou noticed your abnormality. 】

"Husband, what's wrong with you?"

Minamoto no Raikou looked at his lover in front of him and asked with a worried look on his face.

"Is it the Queen's business that's giving you too much of a headache?"

"If so—"

Minamoto no Raikou took Ian's hand.

"Then you can rest for a while."

"Given our current situation, it won't be difficult to deal with the Queen."

"After all, if my husband is exhausted both physically and mentally because of this, it would not be worth it."

"..."

[You realize that Fujiwara no Toko is actually one of the obstacles to the restoration of the Genji clan. ]

[After all, they were the ones who got rid of the "Algae Girl" who was used as a scapegoat. 】

[Fujiwara no Tokuko will naturally not be in a good mood towards you. ]

【You have to find a way to solve this problem. 】

【And Tamamonomae may be the key to everything. 】

【Your heart is no longer confused. 】

"Ma'am, can we go to bed early today?"

"I'm a little tired."

"Hmm~" Minamoto no Raikou nodded gently.

"I just happen to be tired too."

【You and Minamoto no Raikou spent some time together as a couple. 】

[She did not find any trace of Tamamonomae's presence in the room.]

【She is really tired. 】

【She fell asleep.】

【You decide to start your action. 】

late at night.

Ian looked at Minamoto no Raikou who was sleeping beside the pillow and got up quietly.

He opened the shoji door and then closed it gently.

The Great Onmyoji came to the door of the room on the other side and said:

"Xiaoyu, can I come in?"

"Yes, it's okay."
