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

Shuten-doji felt a little embarrassed.

She actually wanted to ask him if he came here on purpose to save her, but she couldn't bring herself to open her mouth.

"By the way, uncle, there was someone who looked down on you just now!"

"We're going to teach him a lesson!"

"No need." Ian looked at a corner of the palace that was still burning not far away, "He's dead."

"Dead, dead?"

"Let's not talk about that for now."

Ian picked up Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji, one on each side.

"Let's get out of here first."

[You took Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji away from the place where you fought with Ashiya Doman.]

[The fire grew larger and larger and was soon noticed.]

[A firefighting operation begins. ]

[This was a disaster that was recorded in history, and people called it the Great Fire of Heian Palace.]

[The Qifeng Tower and Xiangluan Tower of Heian Palace were completely burned down in this fire. ]

[But there was one thing that stood out more than the devastation caused by the fire.]

[Those were the dozens of unidentified charred bodies found after the fire was put out.]

[No one can understand why there are so many unidentified bodies in Heian Palace. ]

【Only Minamoto no Raikou thought of something. 】

[The next day, she mentioned this to you.]

"Husband."

Minamoto no Raikou asked softly while making tea.

"That house fire...was caused by you, right?"

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from the lady." Ian did not hide it.

"Yes, ma'am, I am responsible for this fire."

"Why do this?"

Minamoto no Raikou handed the brewed tea to Ian.

The latter took the tea and replied.

"Ma'am, this is what happened."

[You told Minamoto no Raikou about your relationship with Ashiya Doman. ]

[Of course, you didn't mention the infiltration of Shuten Douji and Ibaraki Douji.]

【You also concealed the matter of Tamamonomae's mirror. 】

【You would have thought that Minamoto no Raikou would be surprised by this. 】

【But her reaction seemed very calm. 】

"I see. Thank you for your hard work, husband."

"Ma'am, don't you wonder about that?"

"Confuse?"

Minamoto no Raikou smiled and shook his head.

"No, yes."

"My husband chose to do this."

"As a wife, I should believe it."

Hearing this, Ian looked at Minamoto no Raikou in front of him with an extremely moved look in his eyes.

"Raikou, meeting you is truly the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me in my life."

"is it?"

Minamoto no Raikou's cheeks flushed.

Life is like first sight.

Even though they have been together for so many years, she is still moved by the great Yin-Yang Master's every word and action.

Every compliment from him is the most beautiful memory.

"It's great to be able to bring luck to my husband."

[The Gifted Strange Couple+ has been replaced by The Song of Genji+: The love between you and Minamoto no Raikou is so strong that Kyoto is singing poems about you. 】

[The investigation into the Heian-kyō fire is still ongoing. 】

【To protect you. 】

[It is also to prevent the last "Fujiwara no Tokuko" from doing something unexpected. ]

【Minamoto no Raikou volunteered to participate in this matter. 】

[She became even busier because of this, and sometimes even had to patrol outside at night.]

【You are simultaneously executing your plan.】

【You found Tamamonomae. 】

【You hand the mirror back to her.】

"Xiaoyu."

Ian looked at Tamamonomae in front of him and the mirror in her hand.

"Is that it?"

"Yeah." Tamamonomae nodded, while tightly holding the mirror in her hand.

"Mr. Abe...thank you so much."

"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would never be able to get this mirror back."

Ian shook his head.

"Nothing."

"Xiaoyu, you are so smart. Even without my help, you will definitely find a way to get the mirror back."

"but--"

"You should still remember the agreement between us."

"Of course I remember."

Tamamonomae stroked the mirror, looking a little embarrassed.

"but……"

"but what?"

Sensing that Tamamonomae was a little nervous, Ian tried to speak in a teasing tone as much as possible.

"Xiaoyu, you are my lover."

"Shouldn't you tell me everything?"

"Well... of course I understand."

Tamamonomae's gaze stopped at the mirror in her hand.

"I have not forgotten my agreement with Mr. Abe."

"It's just that this mirror is a little damaged because it has been used to maintain the Yin-Yang magic circle for too long... If I want it to work, I'm afraid I have to go back to the mountains and forests for a while."

"Mr. Abe, look..."

[You know what Tamamonomae is worried about. ]

【She is afraid that you will think she is lying to you. 】

[After all, if she just walks away with the mirror, it won't be that easy for you to catch her.]

【But you have no such concerns at all. 】

[Because you know Tamamonomae would never do such a thing. ]

"I understand, Jade."

Ian nodded in response.

"Do you need my help in preparing anything?"

"Mr. Abe..." Tamamonomae looked at the great Onmyoji without any hesitation, "Aren't you worried that I will just leave like this?"

"Will not."

Ian smiled.

"I believe Xiaoyu is a demon who keeps her word."

"..."

Tamamonomae's golden eyes were already moist.

She knew that this was absolute trust from the other party - he was the only one in the world who was willing to trust her so much.

So--

Just accept it.

"Thank you Mr. Abe for your trust. I will definitely come back soon."

"But before you leave, please taste my tea again."

"……it is good."

【Tamamonomae left you with wonderful tea drinking memories with her body. 】

【She took the mirror and left temporarily.】

【Minamoto no Raikou was also even busier because of the aftermath of the Heian Shrine fire. 】

[The ones who stayed with you until the end were Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji. ]

【But your mind is not on them. 】

[You are thinking about the memories that came to your mind when you were fighting with Ashiya Doman.]

It may not be accurate to say it is a memory.

Ian felt it was more of a connection.

A connection between oneself and the golden cup.

And it was precisely because of this connection that there was an endless supply of power at that time.

The cup I brought back from Onigashima... does it have some mysterious connection with me?

Ian felt that he was only one step away from freeing Kairaiko from his restraints.

He was sure that as long as Tamamonomae repaired the mirror, the solution to everything would appear before him.

But then again——

Ian looked at his hands.

Shuten-doji once said that he was something other than a "human".

So what exactly could that be?

You thought about this question for a long time.

【You didn’t get an answer.】

【Time flies by in this process. 】
