My mother's love song

Abe no Haruaki said.

“Although I’m away from home, I still miss the capital.

So I possessed my own shikigami and took advantage of my free time to enjoy the scenery of Kyoto, just to relieve my stress during the trip.

Haha, Master Genji, I am sorry to have made a fool of myself."

Then, as if to prove his words to Rhodes, the black cat shook its tail.

The tip of the long tail splits into two, it's a cat-shaped cat.

Rhodes said: "So, you and I just met by chance?"

Black Cat affirmed: "It can be said to be an encounter. This must also be considered a kind of fate. I..."

Unexpectedly, Rhodes interrupted him.

"No, it was neither an accidental encounter nor a fortuitous encounter. Lord Qingming, you deliberately showed up here this morning to wait for me, and wanted to observe me closely."

"Oh?"

The black cat narrowed its golden pupils.

Rhodes used the calmest tone to say the most earth-shattering words.

"From the very beginning, it was you, Abe Haruaki, who induced me to look for Yaobikuni."

"..."

I don’t know if the black cat will show a surprised expression.

But now the black cat's face is showing an expression that would be impossible for a normal animal to have.

"I have had a question from the beginning. Why did Empress Akiko send Miss Xiangzi to a small temple outside Kyoto?"

Rhodes said: "Fujiwara Kaori is a lady-in-waiting serving Empress Akiko. At a time when the Empress is seriously ill, is it really okay for a close confidant of the Empress to contact a mysterious fortuneteller from the outside world?

Although the real purpose of the Empress Dowager was to pray for her cousin, what would the people think if this matter were to be heard?

"Ah, maybe the Queen's unexplained serious illness is actually a curse cast by the Empress!"

"The Empress must have found a demon monk to curse the Empress. This is so hateful! This evil woman, Fujiwara Akiko!"

The people love this kind of low-brow plot the most. I'm sure that Lord Qingming, who was born in the market, is also aware of the power of rumors, right?"

"........."

Abe Haruaki remained silent.

Rhodes continued, "As the head of the harem, it is impossible for the Empress not to understand this truth.

Therefore, even if it was to avoid suspicion, she would never let Fujiwara Kaori from her own faction to carry out this task.

But the fact is that she did so. After Xiangzi met Yaobikuni, she dragged me into the incident. It was really a series of "coincidences"...

Of course it can’t be a coincidence!”

Rhodes said sharply: "Someone must have told the Empress that 'let Murasaki Shikibu meet Yaobikuni, and good things will happen'!

The Empress Fujiwara Akiko actually believed this nonsense and even risked her life. There was only one person in the entire Heian period who had such weight.

You, Abe Haruaki, the trusted advisor of Fujiwara no Michinaga and the best Onmyoji in Japan!"

After the young man finished speaking, there was an incredibly long silence.

After an unknown amount of time, Abe Haruaki took a deep breath.

"As expected of you... Lord Genji. Nothing escapes your keen eye."

Admitting what he had done, the real culprit of the incident, Abe Haruaki, slowly began to confess.

Chapter 685 Japanese Strange Taste Pure Love Minotaur Forbidden Love Literature

Empress Fujiwara no Sadako was suffering from an unknown serious illness, Empress Fujiwara no Akiko was praying for her despite being her political enemy, the court lady Fujiwara no Kaori who met the shrine maiden on behalf of the Empress, and the shrine maiden Yaobikuni who was cursed by the snake god.

Of course, there is also Rod, a young man who was supposed to be an outsider but was caught in the center of the vortex of events.

With just a slight sense of strangeness, he vaguely realized that someone was manipulating all this behind the scenes.

Then, up to now, Rhodes finally saw through the dark truth hidden in the fog. He was born in this mysterious era and was the strongest Onmyoji in Japanese history, Abe Haruaki.

Well, although it sounds like a very grand conspiracy story, it's actually not the case.

Although in history Abe Haruaki was a man who made great contributions as a retainer of Fujiwara no Michinaga and eventually reached the fourth rank, he was not so despicable as to cast a curse on the empress.

All Qingming did was to induce Rod to get close to Yaobikuni.

And this is exactly what the boy doesn't understand.

For what purpose did Abe Haruaki go to so much trouble to get in touch with Yaobikuni?

If Yaobikuni fell into the evil path because of the curse of the great snake, would it be a bad development for Qingming?

Rhodes didn't think that Yaobikuni could become a powerful monster, but this was the most reasonable explanation at present.

"Someone must have told the Empress that 'let Murasaki Shikibu meet Yaobikuni, and good things will happen'!"

The Empress Fujiwara no Akiko actually believed this joke and risked her life. There was only one person in the entire Heian period whose words carried such weight.

You, Abe Haruaki, who is trusted by Fujiwara no Michinaga and is the best Onmyoji in Japan!"

After the boy finished identifying the criminal, Abe Haruaki, who was possessed by the shikigami [Nekomata], let out a long sigh.

"As expected of you... Lord Genji. Nothing escapes your keen eye."

Then, the real culprit of the incident, Abe Haruaki, slowly began to confess.

He didn't fall to his knees and cry to the sad melody, but you can't ask too much from a black cat.

"Ten years ago, I met the nun Yaobikuni by chance at my master Kamo Tadayuki's place."

Abe Haruaki calmly narrated as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him: "From the first moment I saw Yaobikuni-sama, I fell in love with her at first sight."

“………………………………”

The Great Onmyoji's first confession made Rhode very nervous.

This feeling is like opening a fan fiction of Investiture of the Gods with great interest, and seeing Jiang Shang in the book say to Su Daji, "Ah! She is so beautiful! She is really beautiful!"

A weird feeling like this.

“Wait, wait. Harumi…”

Rhodes was about to say something when he heard a "thump" sound behind him and something fell to the ground.

When I turned around, I saw a strange creature lying on the ground in a mess. She had long, gorgeous white hair and was wearing a lustful red and white outfit that exposed her armpits to seduce the God.

She is the heroine of the story [Yaobai Bikuni].

After Rhodes left, the unsatisfied 400-year-old witch secretly followed him, hoping to find the right opportunity to do something indecent to her lord god, but ended up encountering an extremely embarrassing scene.

"No, I'm sorry, I seem to have come at the wrong time. Oo... ahem, Lord Genji! Lord Haruaki! I'll take my leave today. If you two are free next time, you're welcome to come to the hermitage for tea anytime, hahahahaha!"

"Eight Hundred Bhikkhunis."

"……Well."

The girl was about to run away, but was stopped by Abe Haruaki.

"Please stay here too."

"Yes……"

Yaobikuni obediently came to Rhodes' side, or more precisely, pulled the sleeve of Rhodes' kimono and hid behind him, looking at the black cat sitting on the bridge pier with him.

Um, can I go back now? You two can chat slowly...

Rhodes wanted to say that, but Qingming didn't give him the chance.

The Yin-Yang Master confessed: "Ten years ago. At that time, I was still a young man under the age of twenty, following Lord Kamo Tadayuki and devoted myself to studying Yin-Yang magic.

During those ordinary days, I once felt lost and at a loss.

I'm sure you have heard of similar anecdotes. Abe Haruaki's mother was a fox girl, and he was born to a monster.

Because of my background, I couldn’t say that I had a smooth journey in my youth, well...mainly in terms of interpersonal relationships.

During the period when I was most confused, the first ray of light that illuminated the path forward in my life appeared.

That person is you, Master Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni."

"..."

The two listeners were speechless.

"At that time, Yaobikuni-sama found Master Tadayoki again because of the recurrence of the snake god's curse.

You will visit Master's house every four months to ask him for some medicine and talismans to suppress the curse.

...Perhaps you don’t remember now, but I was there too.”

"..."

Rhodes subconsciously glanced at the eight hundred nuns. The dazed expression on their faces showed that they obviously remembered nothing.

Tsk, what a bad woman.

Qingming said: "This woman carries the resentment of the Yamata no Orochi. At this point, it has become an incurable curse that no Onmyoji can do anything about... Even though she is so kind, one day she will turn into a ghost on the roadside.

If it were me, I might not be able to accept this fact and choose to commit suicide. However, after taking the mermaid meat, she didn't even have the right to end her own life.

You will not grow old or die, you can only watch yourself become no longer yourself little by little, until you completely lose yourself.

What a pitiful person.」

Master once introduced you to me like this.

But I don’t see any trace of pity in you, because Ms. Yaoi Bhikkhuni always has a bright smile on her face.

He often chatted with the students at his master's house and often brought game he caught in the mountains as souvenirs.

I sat in the corner of the room, looking at you from afar, and was moved by your optimistic and positive spirit despite the fact that you were carrying the biggest and most vicious curse.

Now that I think about it, that was the beginning of love at first sight.

Until Master passed away and Master Yaobikuni no longer appeared in the Kamo family, I watched you silently. "

What Abe Haruaki described is a clichéd love story that can be found everywhere.

The story is about a young man in adolescence who falls in love with a mature and steady older woman. However, due to his identity, status, the world's view, theories about life expectancy, etc., he does not have the courage to express his feelings, and the relationship ends in failure.

A Japanese story full of the beauty of mono no aware.

There is nothing touching in this story. If I have to say, it can only be regarded as the protagonist's self-touching.

However, even self-admiration is not necessarily a bad thing.

Abe Haruaki's life probably did change at some point in time.

Is it because the head of the Onmyoji at that time asserted that "the curse of the Great Snake is not something that the Onmyoji can remove", so the ordinary boy made up his mind, practiced hard, and eventually surpassed his master to grow into the strongest kingly way in history?

Although there are some differences in the details, it is an indisputable fact that Abe Haruaki became a better person after meeting Yaobikuni.

"As expected of Lord Genji, it's exactly as you imagined." Qingming stared at Rhodes and said.

"I didn't know there were so many words written on my face?" the boy muttered.

"You just asked me why I had to go through so much trouble and why I had to lead you to the place of the Eight Hundred Bhikkhunis."

Abe no Haruaki said, "This is my way of repaying your kindness. This is the only thing I can do for Yaobikuni-sama.

Although when I was young, I also dreamed of saving the girl I fell in love with at first sight with my own strength... but unfortunately, at this age, I finally realized that my strength is insufficient.

I can't do it, I am powerless, you are the only one in this world who can save the Eight Hundred Bhikkhunis."

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

Rhode frowned unhappily: "With your level of curse, that level of curse..."

But the black cat put its paw on its mouth.

It was like a human putting a finger in front of his mouth, indicating that he didn't need to continue speaking.

"Even if I can drive away the curse of the great snake, I will not be able to save Lady Yaobikuni," Qingming added.

Does it mean that even if the disease can be cured, the knot in the heart cannot be untied? Rhodes said nothing.
