"Let's call it 'The Little Pets Conquered with a Big Stick'."

"Who wants to be a pet?"

As Shuten Douji said this, he found that Ibaraki Douji had already obediently lay on Ian's lap - she seemed to have accepted this identity.

The female ghost hesitated for a while, but still lay down.

After all, she knew that this title was certainly not true - after all, the Great Onmyoji loved her and Ibaraki Douji very much.

Its real meaning is to allow oneself to stay by his side with peace of mind.

This is already very good.

[Time in Heian-kyō is passing. 】

[The controversy over the Heian Palace fire eventually died down - it was attributed to the disaster caused by the snake god.]

[As you expected, Minamoto no Raikou returned to his normal life. ]

[Of course, the issue of Fujiwara no Tokuko still exists. ]

[You are still thinking of a way to completely solve this matter. ]

[Another season has passed. ]

【The cherry blossoms in Heian-kyō are blooming. 】

“The cherry blossoms are blooming.”

Tamamonomae stood on the road leading to the capital, with a hint of nostalgia in her golden eyes.

“Maybe I can go flower viewing with Mr. Abe.”

She stroked the mirror in her hand and whispered this.

157. Onmyojis who deceive fate, the real way to save Minamoto no Raikou! (4k)

To be fair.

Tamamonomae had not expected that this trip would take so long.

It took her a whole season to repair her mirror.

No see in one day, like every three autumns.

The moment he returned to Heian-kyo, the clever fox demon even felt that the road ahead of him became a little unfamiliar.

but--

She was not worried that the great Yin-Yang master would mistake her for a faithless fox demon who escaped with the mirror.

After all, if the other party really thought so, they would never have let me leave Beijing in the first place.

Let's find a way to meet him first.

Tamamonomae thought so and involuntarily quickened her pace.

But before she returned to Genji's residence, she saw an unexpected scene.

I saw the great Onmyoji right in front of me.

He was seen holding Shuten-douji in one hand and Ibaraki-douji in the other, asking something to a roadside shop, and his expression looked quite indifferent.

"Mr. Abe!"

Tamamonomae couldn't help but shout out.

[You and Tamamonomae met again on the streets of Kyoto. ]

[You have arrived at the wine shop where you first met.]

[You two started chatting.]

"Mr. Abe..."

Tamamonomae looked at Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji who were always sticking to the Great Onmyoji, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

She didn't remember that these two little devils liked him so much before she left.

"You guys...what's going on?"

Before Ian could answer, Ibaraki Douji began to explain very seriously.

"Lord Abe is trying to trick us."

"Slip you guys?"

"Ah."

Ibaraki Douji nodded, then lay on Ian's lap.

"Shuten and I are Abe-sama's pets, so we have to be taken away."

"Eh, this?!"

Tamamonomae looked at the great Onmyoji in front of her with surprise.

"Mr. Abe...is this true?"

Ian groaned helplessly.

"Xiaoyu, of course that's not the case."

"Here's the thing."

[You told Tamamonomae exactly how Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji helped.]

【She roughly understood what had happened.】

[But she was still surprised by how dependent the little ghosts were on you.]

[She did not express any objection to this, however.]

“So that’s how you solve the problem.”

Tamamonomae looked at Shuten-doji beside Ian and gave him a kind smile.

"As expected~"

"The ghosts who can stay by Mr. Abe's side are all very powerful."

After being praised by Tamamonomae, Shuten-doji felt a little embarrassed.

Seeing her like this, Ian gently stroked her slightly hot little head.

"Don't be shy, Shuten."

"After all, I do feel that way."

"Is that so?!"

Shuten-doji lowered her head shyly, but her hands never left the Great Onmyoji, and there was no longer any disrespect in her eyes that she had shown towards him in the past.

In a sense, the female ghost now has been truly "tamed".

But Ian understood that this was not the time for Tamamonomae to lament this kind of development.

He had more important things to ask.

"Xiaoyu, I've finished talking about my business, what about yours?"

"How did you solve the mirror issue?"

"If Mr. Abe were to say this—"

Tamamonomae's expression seemed a little complicated.

"I have something to tell Mr. Abe."

"what?"

【Tamamonomae tells you exactly what happened to him in this season.】

[Of course, she picked out the key points.]

[After all, there are so many things that can happen in one season. ]

You listened to all this very carefully.

"This……"

The Great Onmyoji frowned slightly.

"Xiaoyu, are you saying that the 'breath' that could have been used to repair the mirror is becoming less and less?"

"Yeah." Tamamonomae nodded.

"If the previous situation had continued, I thought it would only take more than ten days to successfully return to Mr. Abe."

"but--"

Tamamonomae looked at the great Onmyoji in front of him.

"I finally lived through a whole season."

"The weakening of the ghosts seems to have affected the existence of this 'breath'."

"But fortunately, I have successfully repaired this mirror... It doesn't mean that I have accomplished nothing for such a long time."

Ian was silent for a moment, then replied with a smile.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiaoyu."

"No, this is what I promised Mr. Abe, so I have to do it."

"So--"

Tamamonomae took out her mirror and wiped it gently.

"Without further ado."

"Mr. Abe, let's get started in a moment."

[This is the closest you've ever been to freeing Genji Raikou from the demonic shackles he was burdened with because of the development of the Genji.]

[According to Tamamonomae's request, you and she returned to the mansion where the Genji family first lived. ]

【That is where Minamoto Manchu died. 】

[There, Tamamonomae's mirror can "communicate" with his soul. ]

[You hope this conversation will help you resolve these issues. ]

"Shuten, Ibaraki."

Ian rubbed the heads of the two little kids in front of him.

"Then I'll have to ask you to help me watch the door outside."

After all, it is taboo to "communicate" with the dead.

The Great Onmyoji was still a little worried about being discovered by Minamoto no Raikou.

"Yeah." Shuten-doji nodded, "Don't worry, uncle! We'll keep a close eye on it!"

"Me too." Ibaraki Douji followed.

"Okay, with your words, I feel relieved."

[You and Tamamo go to the old mansion.]

[You have returned to the room where Minamoto Manchu lived before his death. ]

【You sit on the ground, ready to start this "communication" about life and death. 】

"Mr. Abe."

Tamamonomae placed the mirror in her hand between the two of them.

"You might see some weird things later."

"But please don't be afraid."

"I promise you that as long as I am here, Mr. Abe, you will never be harmed."

"Yeah." Ian nodded.
