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

"I understand."

"Xiaoyu, I believe you."

There was a hint of shy red on Tamamonomae's fair cheeks.

This trust from the great Onmyoji really made her happy.

"That--"

"I will begin now."

As Tamamonomae said this, the mirror lying between the two of them began to flash.

Then, the light blue light gradually surrounded the room.

The Great Onmyoji felt as if he had fallen into a place between reality and fantasy.

However, because of Tamamonomae's promise, Ian had no worries about this.

The sound of the whirring wind rang in the ears of the Great Onmyoji - that was the sign of the deceased souls gradually coming to life.

When everything calms down, Genmanaka will reappear.

[The voice stopped.]

[You thought you could see Minamoto Manzhong. ]

[At the same time, because of his status as Minamoto no Yorimitsu's husband, you know he will tell you everything he knows.]

【But the figure you finally saw was someone else. 】

[To be precise, it should be just a vague appearance. ]

very familiar.

But it's also very strange.

I must have seen him before, but not too many times.

even--

Most likely only seen once.

Ian looked at the figure in front of him that he couldn't fully recognize, and this was the only feeling in his mind.

But he knew that this was the only way he could save Minamoto no Raikou.

Even if you are not familiar with it——

That needs to be asked clearly.

"Are you Minamoto Manchu?"

Ian asked as he looked at the figure in front of him.

But the other party's answer once again surprised the Great Onmyoji.

"Oh--"

"You mean Man Zhong."

"I'm sorry, I'm not him,"

"But I gave him two good knives."

"..."

[You know those two good swords are "Sukiri" and "Kamimaru". ]

[It's not like you haven't heard from Yuan Manzhong about their origins. 】

[It was given to him by a great Onmyoji who also had the surname "Abe".]

[You realize that the blurry figure in front of you is another "Abe."]

"Are you..."

Before Ian could finish his words, the other party spoke first.

"Yeah, you're right."

"I have the same last name as you, and I am also an Onmyoji. As for my name, it's Qingming."

"Abe Haruaki?" Ian subconsciously followed his words.

"Hahaha, it's so comfortable. It is indeed a pleasant thing to hear your offspring calling out your name."

"Descendants?"

Ian sensed that something was wrong.

And this bad situation soon became a reality.

Abe Haruaki nodded and said:

"Yes, Abe Haruaki the Fifth, Abe Yasuchika."

"You are the offspring I created from the Holy Grail."

"what?"

【You heard something you never expected. 】

[You can hardly believe this.]

【But all this seemed to be within Abe Haruaki's expectations. 】

"Don't rush to deny it."

Abe Haruaki looked at Ian in front of him.

"If I am not mistaken--"

"It was you who got rid of Ashiya Doman a month ago, right?"

"How did you know?"

Ian found it a little unbelievable - after all, he didn't think that Abe Haruaki in front of him would have witnessed everything.

"Oh...don't worry, I'm not spying on you."

Abe Haruaki's tone became much gentler.

"You should still remember the rumors about 'Abe' when you came to Heian-kyo, right?"

"Ah."

Ian has not forgotten the day he came to Kyoto with Minamoto no Raikou.

That was the moment he realized the rumor didn't fit with him.

"Well... that's when Ashiya Doman knew 'you'."

"If you calculate it now, it's about this time that he died."

"Tae-kun, you really do have that kind of ability."

"Wait a moment!"

Ian reached out and stopped Abe Haruaki.

"Don't talk to yourself!"

"How do you know what Ashiya Michiman is doing? Isn't this already the level of knowing the future?!"

"Well, theoretically there shouldn't be any."

Abe Haruaki confirmed Ian's statement.

"so--"

“I paid a price to have it.”

"Tae-kun, you should know what that is."

【Abe Haruaki's words reminded you. 】

【You ponder the source of this ability.】

[Because of the other party's identity as an Onmyoji, you quickly understood. ]

[That was similar to Reed Doman's behavior—he practiced a forbidden technique in Yin-Yang magic.]

[It’s just that the former will pay the price of insanity. ]

【And the latter...】

【It is the loss of the body.】

The art of Yin and Yang requires absolute balance - once there is a gap somewhere, something will inevitably happen to fill it.

In this way, we can ensure that everything is unified and runs according to the original rhythm.

Abe Haruaki's behavior is naturally no exception.

There is indeed a method in the forbidden Onmyoji that can allow the Onmyoji to know the future.

But as the price of balance, it will prevent those who gain this ability from ever influencing the future.

For example... losing the body.

but--

There is still room for maneuver.

For example, the moment you gain this ability, you can arrange everything properly.

In this way, even if the body is destroyed, the future can still move forward in the direction you want.

And at some point in the future, everything will be turned back to its original track by other means.

This is how you cheat fate.

But is this kind of thing really something that ordinary people can do?

Abe Haruaki seemed to see through Ian's doubts, and he spoke directly:

"Of course I can't do this with my own abilities."

"But fortunately, I encountered the Holy Grail - and then summoned you."

"You are the one who will change everything with me, so I can safely abandon my body."

The memory in Ian's head completely went back to that day.

"Your name is Abe Yasuchika."

"The one who changed the fate of the Genji clan."

The person who said these words was none other than Abe Haruaki in front of him.

"Why are you doing this?" Ian asked puzzled.

"I am also a human being." Abe Haruaki replied, "I have things that I value."

"You want to protect Manjung's daughter."

"but me--"

"To protect my friend Man Zhong and his family."

Abe Haruaki's words are easy to understand.

He cheated fate and saved Minamoto Mannaka and the Minamoto clan;

All Ian needs to do is to deceive everything back on track and save Minamoto no Raikou.

"So you'd rather give up your body for this?"

Ian looked at Abe Haruaki, whose appearance could not even be recognized.

"You think it's worth it?"

"Hahahaha." Abe Haruaki laughed.

"Taiqin, don't you think you should think about why you are here before asking me such a thing?"

"Then do you think it's worth it for Man Zhong's daughter?"
