"Ah."

[You realize that the situation in Heian Palace is somewhat different from what you thought]

[You vaguely feel that Fujiwara Tokuko in front of you is also under some pressure. ]

[You have an adventurous idea of ​​going out and having a look. ]

"Ma'am, can I leave for a while?"

"Eh?"

According to common sense, Minamoto no Raikou should not allow Ian to do this.

but--

As his first wife, Minamoto no Raikou could sense that her husband was thinking of something.

Without hesitation, she took out Genji's token and tied it around the great Onmyoji's waist.

"I understand."

"Husband, do what you think is right."

"I'll take care of the situation here."

No further words needed.

The Genji couple looked at each other and completely believed in each other.

[You temporarily left the court hall.]

【This should not be allowed. 】

[But Fujiwara Tokuko doesn't seem to have time for you—she looks really anxious.]

【You are walking in the quiet Heian Palace. 】

You start to think about all this.

Ian always felt that this series of events was a little inconsistent.

It is true that Fujiwara no Tokuko wanted to participate in government affairs.

but--

It is not a good idea for the Onmyoji to connect with the outside world and set up a formation in Heian Palace like this.

After all, this is a very risky behavior.

As the number one Onmyoji in Kyoto, I could possibly notice all of this at any time.

The great Onmyoji hiding behind Fujiwara no Tokuko would naturally not be unaware of this.

So--

This shows that he was able to keep things going smoothly even after being discovered.

Should this be called confidence?

Or should we say arrogance?

In addition, Ian was very concerned about one other point.

Why did Fujiwara no Tokuko wear a veil to cover her face?

Among these...is there any secret that cannot be known by others?

You are thinking about these questions.

【And Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji's tracking also continues. 】

Ghosts and humans are different.

As creatures that survive by relying on "thoughts", ghosts can easily hide their own breath.

This is also the reason why the profession of Onmyoji was born - people need someone who can find out the hidden ghosts.

As demons with extraordinary abilities, Shuten Douji and Ibaraki Douji naturally know how to hide their aura.

Therefore, even if they followed the unknown great Onmyoji closely like this, the two ghosts would not be discovered.

"What a stupid Onmyoji."

Shuten-doji looked at the figure of the Onmyoji in front of him and couldn't help but make such a comment.

"If it was the uncle, he would have discovered us by now."

"Ah."

Ibaraki Douji nodded.

"If it was Lord Abe, he would have discovered us."

"Eh?"

Shuten-doji turned around and looked at his good friend.

"Lord Abe?"

"Ibaraki, when did you start using that name?"

"Hmm... I just thought of it." Ibaraki Douji answered very seriously, "Because I thought it was a suitable name for him, so I called him that."

"Shuten, shouldn't I use this name?"

"you……"

Seeing Ibaraki Douji's sincere and undisguised gaze, Shuten Douji blushed.

"up to you."

"You are free to call me uncle however you want!"

"We don't care!"

"Yes." Ibaraki Douji nodded, "That's good."

"..."

"..."

Shuten-doji turned his face away.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore! Let's quickly catch up with the Yin Yang Master in front of us!"

"it is good."

It's such a coincidence.

Although Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji followed slowly, they were always able to keep close to the great Onmyoji in front of them.

The two little ghosts walked through most of Heian Palace in this way.

"Where on earth is he going?"

Looking at this seemingly endless journey, Shuten-doji couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

She began to wonder if there was something wrong with her judgment.

Is it possible——

Does this Onmyoji really know nothing?

Shuten-doji was a little puzzled.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened.

At this time, Ibaraki Douji said:

"Shuten, he's gone."

"Eh?!"

Shuten-doji came back to his senses from his thoughts and found that the Onmyoji that the two ghosts had been following had indeed disappeared before his eyes.

"Where...has he gone?"

I could have kept up no matter what.

How come the person disappeared after turning a corner?

Shuten-doji sensed that something was not right.

She stopped laughing and said to Ibaraki Douji beside her:

"Izuki, pay attention."

"I feel like something is wrong."

"..."

Ibaraki Douji did not respond directly.

But her clenched fist showed that she had listened to Shuten-doji's words.

"What should we do now?" asked Ibaraki Douji.

"..."

The Oeyama Demon King returned to his super serious appearance during the battle.

She looked around vigilantly, paying attention to anything that might cause an accident.

"Ibaraki, let's look around here first."

"Maybe we'll find something."

[Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji began their own investigation. ]

【At the same time, your thinking has also achieved a phased result. 】

face.

Thinking about Fujiwara Tokuko's veil, this word emerged in Ian's mind.

Wearing a veil is certainly not for beauty, and certainly not for creating a sense of mystery.

The only function it can provide is to cover up Fujiwara Tokuko's face.

but--

Why cover it up?

Then it must not be made public.

So--

Why can't it be made public?

Fujiwara no Tokuko is a well-known person after all, right?

Why do you have to cover up your face?

Ian pondered the question, the pitifully little information he had obtained from Fujiwara Tokuko constantly running through his mind.

"My concubine."

This is the same self-proclaimed name as Tamamonomae, and it is also one of the few pieces of information that Ian remembered in his mind.

and many more.

Ian suddenly found himself trapped in a misconception.

It’s as if Tamamonomae, who calls herself “my concubine”, is not actually a demon who has committed many evil deeds.

The relationship between Fujiwara no Tokuko and the hidden great Onmyoji may not be what it seems on the surface.

If you think like this -

It was not Fujiwara no Tokuko who invited this Onmyoji.

Instead, this Onmyoji went to find Fujiwara Tokuko.

No.

It's not just this level.

Considering that he was able to hide in Ping'an Palace and even set up a Yin-Yang magic formation, it is probably not as simple as just "finding" him.
