[You know that your power comes from the Holy Grail. ]

[You understand that your ability to draw ghosts was obtained through Abe Haruaki's prayer.]

[This is indeed the same feeling that Shuten-doji had at the beginning. ]

[You are not a true human being——but a being summoned by the Holy Grail.]

[Gifted Odd Couple+ has been replaced with Twist Fate+: You know you are the only one who can stop Minamoto no Raikou from demonizing the future. 】

You are determined to do this.

[Your so-called reputation has been lost: these so-called reputations have no meaning to you at this moment. 】

[You must plan an event that will allow Minamoto no Raikou to kill you. ]

[But before that, you know you still have to make arrangements for those demons who love you. ]

The blue light gradually faded away from the room where Yuan Manzhong passed.

Ian opened his eyes and saw Tamamonomae with an apologetic look on her face.

"Migu!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Abe!"

Tamamonomae glanced at the dull mirror on the tatami, then got up from her seat and started apologizing.

"It seems that the 'breath' of my mirror has been exhausted."

"It's ok."

Ian smiled.

"I have understood the matter clearly."

"Migu?!"

Tamamonomae's two furry ears moved slightly.

She raised her head, and her expression suddenly changed from guilt to joy.

"Mr. Abe, does this mean that I have helped you?"

"Yeah." Ian nodded, "That's about right."

"Xiaoyu's mirror has explained all the problems I knew before."

“That’s great~”

Tamamonomae covered her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

She reached out and wiped the corners of her eyes.

"When I saw the mirror lose its light just now, I almost cried."

"..."

Looking at Tamamonomae's extremely worried expression, Ian was stunned for a moment.

Then he reached out and pulled Tamamonomae's head closer to him.

"Sorry, Jade."

"I shouldn't have scared you like that."

"Nothing."

Tamamonomae pressed against the great Onmyoji's chest.

Her two fox ears were slightly curled up - that was her sign of happiness.

"I just hope to help Mr. Ian in my own way."

"I know."

Ian's hand gently stroked Tamamonomae's head, feeling the delicacy of the monster's fur.

"Xiaoyu, is there anything you want to do?"

"What do you want to do?"

Tamamonomae obviously didn't expect Ian to ask such a question at this time.

At the same time, she also knew that she wasn't asking for anything.

but--

The fox demon's eyes flashed back to the cherry blossoms she saw when she entered the capital.

It was a beautiful scene, implying that spring had quietly arrived.

A little selfishness arose in her heart towards the person she loved.

"I do have something I want to do."

Tamamonomae raised her head and looked at the man in front of her cautiously with her golden eyes.

"Mr. Abe... can you go with me to enjoy the cherry blossoms alone?"

As soon as she said this, Tamamonomae felt a little regretful.

Because she suddenly realized that she seemed to be going a little too far.

After all, he is still thinking of a way to save Minamoto no Raikou... Wouldn't it be very inconsiderate of me to do this?

but--

Tamamonomae was still secretly observing his reaction.

Although she knew that doing so was not a good idea, the fox demon still had some unrealistic expectations in her heart.

And the next moment, this expectation really became a reality.

Ian just nodded and agreed to the request.

"Well, I see."

"If Xiaoyu wants to go to see the cherry blossoms with me alone, then go ahead."

"Migu!"

"Mr. Abe?!"

"Don't doubt it, I'm serious."

After hearing this, Tamamonomae realized that he was not as magnanimous as he had imagined.

I was just afraid that he would be angry, so I pretended to be indifferent.

[You agreed to Tamamonomae's request to see the cherry blossoms. ]

You picked a day.

【This is the time when Minamoto no Yorimitsu must go to court. 】

[You found a suitable excuse to temporarily settle Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji in the mansion. ]

[This time, it’s your private date with Tamamonomae. ]

As spring approaches, Heian-kyō becomes noticeably more lively.

People who come to enjoy the spring and see the beautiful cherry blossoms can be seen everywhere.

In this situation, Ian and Tamamonomae seemed less noticeable.

certainly--

Maybe they just don't dare to speak out.

But no matter which situation it is, it makes no difference to Tamamonomae at this moment.

Because at this moment, she was holding hands with Ian.

It is a leisurely companionship that perfectly complements the spring scenery at the moment.

Tamamonomae's heart was pounding at this moment - she really liked the feeling of being held by his hand.

However, although he was very greedy for this kind of enjoyment, the fox demon still always remembered his situation.

She asked in a low voice:

"Mr. Abe... Isn't this a bad idea?"

"It will be very difficult for you to do this if Madam Yuan finds out."

"But Xiaoyu, you have changed into such a beautiful kimono, haven't you?"

Ian looked at Tamamonomae beside him, his eyes full of sincerity.

"If I don't take all this seriously, wouldn't I be letting you down, Xiaoyu?"

"Mr. Abe..."

"Okay, Xiaoyu, stop worrying."

Ian held Tamamonomae's hand a little tighter.

"If you continue to doubt, there won't be enough time today."

"Not enough time?"

"Ah."

The great Onmyoji nodded, and his eyes slowly fell below Tamamonomae's kimono.

"because--"

"I want to touch more than just the cherry blossoms in Kyoto."

"Eh?"

Tamamonomae blushed when she understood.

But she nodded.

"Well...I am looking forward to it too."

[You and Tamamonomae hold hands and walk against the crowd. ]

【There are many places to enjoy cherry blossoms in Kyoto. 】

[You brought Tamamonomae to a cherry tree. ]

【There are many such trees around. 】

【So no one is focusing their attention on you. 】

[After all, the protagonist this time is not you, but the cherry blossoms around you. 】

Looking at the crowd around her, Tamamonomae became a little nervous.

She held the Great Onmyoji's hand and gently asked about his inner concerns.

"Mr. Abe...are you going to a place like this?"

"Yeah." Ian nodded.

"But--"

Tamamonomae glanced at the noisy crowd around her.

"Will we be discovered if we keep doing this?"

Ian shook his head.

"Xiaoyu, no."

“No one will notice this location.”

"This……"

Although he still had many doubts in his heart, Tamamonomae nodded shyly.

"understood."

"I will leave it to Mr. Abe to arrange."

After saying this, Tamamonomae skillfully spread out the cloth for cherry blossom viewing and a series of other things that would be needed.
