Type-Moon, isn't this really the other world?

So who exactly is the Scáthach that Tamamo-no-Mae rescued...?

"Tsk, I love your stubbornness."

Lin Jiu'an shook his head with a sigh, then turned to look at Marda, who looked as if she had fallen into an ice cave: "So, are you planning to obediently become my woman, or do you want to be like her?"

"You're dreaming!"

Even though she was terrified, Martha still spoke coldly.

"I like tough guys."

Lin Jiu'an snapped his fingers, and the flesh and blood on the ground made a sickening throbbing sound, slowly revealing a cross that Lin Jiu'an had created based on a certain comic book.

"Speaking of which, I first met you in a comic book."

The manga depicts Fujimaru Ritsuka and Martha being captured, hung on a cross, and given drugs.

Thinking of that comic book plot, a black rope appeared on the cross, grabbed Martha's arm, and hung her up on the cross amidst her screams.

"Enjoy it."

Lin Jiu'an turned and walked outside, leaving behind only the sudden surge of sounds, the denser mass of flesh and blood, and the even more tragic cries of Martha and Scáthach.

Chapter Thirty-Four: The Fall of Tamamo-no-Mae

After leaving the room where Scáthach and Martha were imprisoned.

Lin Jiu'an went directly to the room where Scáthach was supposedly imprisoned. He went inside and saw "Scáthach" half-covered in black mud on the wall.

This fake "Scáthach" looks very real, almost identical to Tamamo-no-Mae's disguise magic. If Lin Jiu'an hadn't just come from Scáthach, he would have thought it was real.

"Ok?"

Just as Lin Jiu'an was about to leave, she suddenly stopped and looked curiously at the fake Scáthach that Tamamo-no-Mae had replaced, a strange light flashing in her beautiful eyes.

"This is..."

······

at the same time.

Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others also reunited with Tamamo-no-Mae, who had escaped with 'Scáthach'.

After placing the still unconscious 'Scáthach' on Artoria's horse, the group was about to leave when Tamamo-no-Mae's expression suddenly changed.

"Tamamo?"

"I have some things to attend to, Ritsuka, you guys go back first."

Do you need our help?

"No need, it's nothing serious, just some personal matters. I can handle it quickly."

Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others didn't think much of it and rode their warhorses and motorcycles away into the distance.

Once their figures had disappeared from sight, Tamamo-no-Mae's nonchalant expression crumbled instantly, her eyes slightly wide open, her beautiful gaze seemingly looking up at the sky.

It was panting heavily like a puppy.

After a while, Tamamo-no-Mae walked with difficulty toward the bushes by the roadside, limping, her fair face already covered with a captivating blush.

Tamamo, hang in there, this is the main road...

"Hot-ho?!"

Just as she was about to enter the bushes by the roadside, Tamamo-no-Mae could no longer hold back, and collapsed to the ground with a mournful cry, spitting out mouthfuls of saliva.

"Stop! Stop! Huh?! Are you a pervert?!"

Tamamo-no-Mae let out a weak moan, suddenly regretting that the 'Scáthach' she had created was too realistic. Lin Jiu'an probably still thought she was the real Scáthach.

Before leaving.

Tamamo-no-Mae couldn't help but connect her senses with that fake Scáthach, and she could clearly feel all the sensations that the other was experiencing.

"No, I have to, I have to undo it, or I'll die!"

Tamamo-no-Mae opened her mouth wide, drooling as she tried to sever her senses from the clone disguised as 'Scáthach', but the shocks coming from the connection came wave after wave.

Each time, Tamamo-no-Mae was just a hair's breadth away from severing the connection.

But it was just a little bit short.

That tiny distance felt like an insurmountable chasm she could never cross in her lifetime. After trying more than ten times and ultimately failing miserably, Tamamo-no-Mae gave up completely and lay down on the road, wailing in despair.

"what?!!"

It's unclear how long that feeling, which nearly made Tamamo-no-Mae lose consciousness, lasted.

Until a faint sound approached.

Tamamo-no-Mae regained consciousness in a daze, her gaze falling on the ground in front of her. She then noticed that the originally dazzling sunlight had turned dim and yellow, and gradually saw what appeared to be a pair of feet stopping in front of her.

Tamamo-no-Mae struggled to lift her face, which was already contorted with rage.

Looking at Lin Jiu'an standing in front of her, leaning down and looking at her with a half-smile, Tamamo-no-Mae no longer had the energy to make any expression. She just stared blankly and mumbled, "It's...it's you?"

"I didn't expect there to be such a pleasant surprise."

Lin Jiu'an squatted down and teasingly pinched Tamamo-no-Mae's cheek with his hand.

"Why don't you just come find me if you want to?"

The large, burning hand pressed against her face, and Tamamo-no-Mae felt her body begin to burn again. Her throat remained still for a moment before she belatedly stammered, "I...I won't give in...Huh?!?"

Tamamo-no-Mae wailed, tears and saliva streaming down her face, making her look extremely comical. However, this did not detract from her beauty at all, as her face was so exquisitely beautiful that it lacked any eerie or glamorous quality.

"From now on, come with me and be my wife, how about it?"

"Don't even think about it!"

With a sudden burst of strength, Tamamo-no-Mae broke free from Lin Jiu'an's grip on her chin, abruptly stood up, and stepped back to create distance between herself and Lin Jiu'an. A talisman appeared between her right fingers as she stared at him with hostile eyes.

"I... I will never give in to you!"

"is it?"

Lin Jiu'an stood up, put his hands in his pockets, and looked at Tamamo-no-Mae, who was glaring at him with a half-smile, like a chaste and virtuous woman.

"I'm only giving you one chance. If you don't agree this time, you'll never have the chance to be my wife again."

"Who wants to be your wife... Huh?!!"

Tamamo-no-Mae spoke angrily, but before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly seemed to have suffered some extremely terrifying shock. Her expression froze, and she abruptly knelt on the ground, seemingly unintentionally but very naturally making a handless dogeza (a traditional Chinese form of kneeling in respect).

"Goo?! No! No! I lost! I lost! I'm willing to be your wife! Tamamo is willing to be your wife! Let me go?! Goooooo?!"

After saying that sentence.

Tamamo-no-Mae felt incredibly relaxed, a silly smile appearing on her face, though it was unclear whether the tears were from happiness or regret.

I'm sorry, Ritsuka!

But there's nothing we can do about it.

That's what happens when you're a woman.

Tamamo-no-Mae thought she only cared about souls, and that Fujimaru Ritsuka, with his pure and radiant soul, was her destined husband. However, in the face of this terrifying beast of original sin, Tamamo-no-Mae realized that she was wrong, terribly wrong.

"Goo? Why?! Husband! Tamamo has surrendered! Tamamo has already surrendered?!!!!"

······

"Jiu'an, Cú Chulainn is already... oh..."

In the corridors of the White House.

As Siddhartha was walking toward Lin Jiu'an's room, she saw Lin Jiu'an on the way and her eyes lit up as she went to greet him. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly noticed the object that Lin Jiu'an was carrying on his shoulder.

That was a fox girl with her buttocks facing forward.

Lin Jiu'an was holding the fluffy fox's tail and carrying her on his shoulder.

Because they had fought side by side in the bathroom before, Sita immediately recognized the fox girl whose buttocks were facing him.

"Tamamonomae?"

"Well, it was a pleasant surprise; I couldn't help but offer it to them."

Sita suddenly smiled in realization.

As Lin Jiu'an's woman, she knew very well Lin Jiu'an's 'charm'—that kind of extreme pleasure that was both spiritual and physical, happening simultaneously. Unless a woman had an extremely strong will, there were only two possibilities with Lin Jiu'an: zero times or countless times.

However, it is clear that Tamamo-no-Mae is not included in this category.

She could resist giving in to Lin Jiu'an, but she couldn't help her body's instinctive desires. She thought about secretly disguising her clone as 'Scáthach' to make herself happy. However, she overestimated her willpower and was blinded by her tail. She didn't even consider the possibility that Lin Jiu'an would discover her clone and follow the clues to find her.

Then Lin Jiu'an caught him red-handed.

Under normal circumstances, Tamamo-no-Mae can still distinguish right from wrong when faced with major issues, after all, she has Fujimaru Ritsuka by her side. However, in the situation just now, Tamamo-no-Mae, who had been overwhelmed by emotions, had obviously lost her rationality.

It's common knowledge that when people want to watch movies, both men and women are driven to madness.

"Congratulations, Jiu'an."

Sita said with a smile.

She could sense that Lin Jiu'an really wanted Tamamo-no-Mae, and she was genuinely happy for him, unlike other women who felt down because of someone else trying to steal their food.

Unlike Minamoto no Yorimitsu.

She didn't have the same morbid possessiveness as Minamoto no Yorimitsu, and because she had now come to terms with and accepted that dream, she no longer considered herself Lin Jiu'an's wife at all.

Naturally, she wouldn't be jealous because Lin Jiu'an had gained a beloved wife; she would only be happy for him.

"Should I take her to get cleaned up and find her a room?"

"No need, I have some things to do with her."

After exchanging a few words with Sita, Lin Jiu'an carried Tamamo-no-Mae to the room where Scáthach and Martha were imprisoned. As soon as they entered the room, they heard Scáthach and Martha's mournful cries.

However, as soon as he entered the room, their cries of pain were suppressed by gritted teeth.

"Wow, you're still holding up!"

Lin Jiu'an teased, then gave a slight tug and pulled Tamamo-no-Mae into his arms.

"Come on, let me introduce you to someone I know."

Scáthach and Martha, whose beautiful eyes had been somewhat unfocused, heard the sound. Accompanied by the electric current that stimulated their minds, they focused slightly and saw Tamamo-no-Mae in Lin Jiu'an's arms.

"Tamamo-mae?!"

Scáthach remained quite calm.

She was unaware that Tamamo had come to rescue her. After seeing Martha captured, she wouldn't be surprised if Lin Jiu'an brought Fujimaru Ritsuka, Karna, and Artemis.

However, Martha knew very well.

Of course, what terrified her the most was Tamamo-no-Mae's silly smile.

"What did you do to her?"

"Don't act like I'm the one who did all the bad things. Come on, Tamamo, tell her your current identity."

Tamamo-no-Mae gradually came to her senses. Her beautiful eyes focused on Martha, who was tied to the cross. She instantly became clear-headed and felt guilty as she thought about what she had just done.

However, when she saw Scáthach, the guilt in her eyes turned into disbelief.

"Scáthach... Ugh?!"

"Being fickle and feeling guilty towards your husband's enemy is not something a virtuous wife and loving mother should do."

"I'm sorry, my husband."

Although she has now regained her senses and entered a state of 'saintly Buddha-like', Tamamo-no-Mae has no intention of going back on her word.

Now that she has accepted Lin Jiu'an as her husband, she can't possibly get a divorce, right?

More importantly, Tamamo-no-Mae knew that her body could no longer live without this man.

Although her soul leaned more towards the pure and radiant Fujimaru Ritsuka than towards Lin Jiu'an, who was countless times darker than the Yamata no Orochi, but...

She can never go back!

"Husband?!"
