[During the time you were chatting with the foot soldier, she had already wiped away all traces of you “playing with” her. ]

[You told her that the foot soldiers were coming in to check. ]

"This……"

Tamamonomae became more and more nervous.

She didn't expect that what Ian had just said would become a reality so soon.

"Should I hide now?"

"Do not."

Ian shook his head.

"There's nowhere to hide even if you want to."

"And if we are discovered, it will be even more troublesome to explain."

"So Mr. Abe, what should we do now?"

"..."

Faced with this question, Ian looked at the scene around him, thought for a while, and then answered:

"Xiaoyu, you will stand next to me later."

"Don't talk or make unnecessary movements."

Although she was confused, Tamamonomae didn't ask any more questions and just nodded.

"My concubine understands."

You have a plan.

[You return to the outside of the mansion.]

[You allowed the foot soldiers who came to enter the mansion to search. ]

[They soon noticed Tamamonomae's presence.]

【You are ready to implement the plan you have thought of. 】

At this moment, Tamamonomae had changed into the clothes she wore when she was hiding.

Her furry tail and cute fox ears were covered up.

As a result, no one would know the identity of the fox demon for the time being.

but--

In this situation, the appearance of such a strangely dressed woman would be an extremely eye-catching figure in any case.

The foot soldiers' attention quickly focused on Tamamonomae.

Suspicion and discussion grew and spread in an instant.

The fox demon was a little scared inside.

After all, in a sense, she was facing what she feared most before.

If you are not careful, you will most likely be caught.

But at this moment——

Tamamonomae felt a warmth on her hand.

She turned sideways and found that the great Yin-Yang Master next to her had already held her hand.

"..."

"..."

Tamamonomae was stunned.

The foot soldiers were also stunned.

But the two sides have completely different ideas at this moment.

Tamamonomae realized that Ian asked her to stand beside him just so that he could hold her hand in front of the foot soldiers.

This way.

This would allow the foot soldiers in front of him to misunderstand that she was his lover outside.

And in fact, this is indeed the case.

The foot soldiers glanced at Ian and Tamamonomae holding hands, then at the still steaming food and half-opened bottle of wine.

No matter how dumb a person is, he knows that he has come at the wrong time.

The subsequent inspections were also quite perfunctory because of this.

"I'm sorry, Abe-sama."

The foot soldier leader glanced at Ian, then looked at the woman beside him, his expression somewhat complicated.

"Sorry to bother you."

"Nothing." Ian shook his head.

"This is your duty, I won't blame you."

The mansion suddenly returned to silence.

Tamamonomae breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Ian beside her.

"Mr. Abe, thank you so much."

"If you weren't here, I wouldn't know how I would handle this."

"Nothing."

Ian let go of Tamamonomae's hand.

"I believe that even if I'm not here, Xiaoyu, you will definitely have your own way to deal with these problems."

"……maybe."

Tamamonomae looked at her empty hands, feeling a little regretful.

But she soon thought of something else.

"Mr. Abe."

"Although now we have indeed solved this problem for you."

"But if this continues—"

"Your wife will also know about you and my concubine... It will be very troublesome for Mr. Abe to explain it later, right?"

"It's all my fault for being so confused... I insisted that Mr. Abe come to this meaningless dinner."

"Xiaoyu, you started it again."

Ian looked at the guilty Tamamonomae in front of him, put his fingers into the hem of her skirt, and gently stroked the treasure that was splashing with water.

"Didn't I say that?"

"Your beautiful water splashes are pleasing to the eyes."

"so--"

“Whatever happens next is part of what we should accept.”

"Besides, it's not like I can't explain these things to Raikou."

"Eh?!" Tamamonomae was a little surprised, "Can you explain it more clearly?"

"Yes." Ian nodded confidently.

"As long as you don't play any tricks, Xiaoyu, everything will be handled cleanly when you fake your death."

"...I understand."

Tamamonomae responded to the Great Onmyoji in this way, and a few drops of dew overflowed from the treasure and flowed onto the other's fingers.

She found that she seemed to like the feeling of being caressed.

[The search is still ongoing.]

[But you are not panicked at all.]

【Because you already have a complete plan in your mind. 】

[The Father of the Four Heavenly Kings has been replaced by Kyoto Jiming: Thanks to the search, your reputation no longer needs to rely on the four adopted sons. You are a very eye-catching presence in Heian-kyo. 】

[You often intentionally or unintentionally let people see you enter the mansion where Tamamonomae is hiding.]

【This is part of your plan.】

[For the remaining part, you need to further explore Tamamonomae. 】

Hiding in the mansion.

Tamamonomae's usual clothes had been folded and placed aside.

She herself was lying on the ground with her hind body and tail raised.

There were a few hemp ropes on that white back.

Ian just stood behind, looking at the fox demon's body curves that made people imagine a lot.

But what he paid attention to was not Tamamonomae itself, but the furry tail.

"Xiaoyu, I'm going to start."

"I, I understand."

Ian took a deep breath, then gently grabbed Tamamonomae's upright tail.

There was a snap.

The great Yin-Yang master plucked a hair from it.

Tamamonomae shuddered all over and cried out.

"Migu!!!"

"..."

Ian paused and said:

"Xiaoyu, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"A little bit..." Tamamonomae had tears in her eyes, "But I will hold it back!"

"so--"

"Please continue, Mr. Abe!"

"……I see."

[You plucked a few more hairs from Tamamonomae's tail.]

[Her screams echoed throughout the mansion.]

[You sound a little distressed. ]

But you know it's something that has to be done.

It's finally over.

Tamamonomae fell directly to the ground.

"It hurts..."

"You obviously can't bear it, but you still say you can hold on." Ian stroked Tamamonomae's long hair.

"How can it not hurt?"

"But this is what Mr. Abe ordered."

Tamamonomae rested her head on Ian's thigh.

"I must complete it well."

After what happened before, Tamamonomae no longer dared to have any small thoughts.
