"That's no big deal, right?"

"No." Ian shook his head, "Madam, you seem to care about their appearance?"

"It's not that I care..." Minamoto Yorimitsu muttered in a low voice, "I just think one of them looks familiar."

"……I see."

[You didn’t tell me about the woman you saw. 】

[You don’t want to deceive Minamoto Noraimitsu. 】

[But the other party disappeared so quickly that it made you wonder if you had seen it wrong. 】

[You don’t want to add unnecessary worries to Minamoto Yorimitsu. 】

[You decide to mention it to her after you confirm that such a thing really exists. 】

But it's also strange to say.

Ever since the encounter on the street that day, the Great Onmyoji had never seen that beautiful figure again.

Everything seems to be just a bubble phantom.

Ian couldn't help but wonder if he had really seen something wrong.

but--

He hoped it wasn't fake.

He wanted to see her again.

After all, those sad eyes always made him feel that there was some unknown secret behind her.

[Your wish did not come true after all. 】

[Things developed just as Minamoto Yorimitsu predicted. 】

[Because of her, you were able to lead a part of the Ashigaru to search in the city. 】

[This is something to be happy about - after all, it can be regarded as being reused in a certain sense. 】

[But your life has become a little strange because you frequently appear on the streets of Kyoto. 】

[It seems that someone is watching you secretly. 】

here we go again--

That kind of sight coming from nowhere.

Ian frowned slightly.

This wasn't the first time he felt this kind of sight.

Ever since he took over part of the Ashigaru, he would feel this kind of sight from time to time.

And as time goes by, this sight appears more and more frequently.

But the most serious problem is not this.

It's because he can't detect the source of his sight.

If I have to describe it——

It was as if the owner of this line of sight took the initiative to cover up his aura.

If it weren't for the fact that I had developed a keen sense because of my identity as an Onmyoji.

Maybe even "being monitored" won't be discovered.

[You realize there may be something wrong with this. 】

[You must find out the owner of this sight. 】

[You take action immediately. 】

"You just do what I say first." Ian ordered to the ashigaru around him.

"Yes! Abe-sama!"

The Ashigaru dispersed.

Ian's side returned to desertedness.

However, he could still clearly feel that the line of sight still existed - which meant that the other party's target was indeed him.

That's much easier to do then.

Ian began wandering the streets of Kyoto.

He is sometimes fast and sometimes slow.

The line of sight hidden in the darkness also adjusted its rhythm.

The Great Onmyoji walked to the corner of the street.

A figure followed hurriedly.

But when the figure turned around, he found that there was a dead end in front of him.

Where did he go?

next moment--

The ground beneath the figure's feet began to dent, firmly imprisoning its feet.

This is a "prison" made of the earth in the five elements.

Then, Ian's voice came from above.

I saw that he had been sitting on the walls on both sides of the alley, looking down at the people who had been watching him secretly.

"Have you seen enough?"

"If you've seen enough... I should send you to the Ashigaru for being so suspicious."

"Migu!"

The monitor made a panicked sound.

"Please do not do this!"

"I... I'm just looking for a chance to see you alone again!"

"See you again?"

Hearing this, Ian suddenly thought of something.

He jumped down from the wall, came to the other party, and lifted the black veil that covered his face.

The moment he saw the other person's face, Ian was stunned for a moment.

Because that was a face that he had remembered deeply even though he had only seen it once.

Pink hair, fox ears, golden eyes and fair skin.

"You were the one that day!"

"Yes, it is my concubine Tamamo Mae."

The fox-eared girl who calls herself Tamamo-mae has sad eyes, a look that would make anyone sad if she sees her.

"Although it may sound a bit offensive to say it now, but——"

"Can you please help my concubine who is now in prison?"

137. Tamamo Mae: Help me, Mr. Abe! ([-] words chapter)

"..."

Tamamo-mae is indeed beautiful.

If paired with this tone of prayer, it would appear even more touching.

If other men saw this scene, they would probably agree to all her requests without hesitation.

But Ian didn't do that.

The friendship between Shuten Doji and Ibaraki Doji made him realize that many things in this world cannot be judged with a single impression.

Just like ghosts are evil, but they also have a good side.

Only after in-depth understanding can you have enough say.

If the ghost is like this, there is no need to say anything about Tamamo Mae in front of him.

but--

Ian looked at her somewhat sad eyes, but did not immediately deny her statement.

The earth on the soles of Tamamo's feet gradually untied and returned to its normal appearance.

The Great Onmyoji looked at her in front of him and said coldly:

"This is not the place for those words."

"Let's talk somewhere else."

[You lead Tamamo Mae out of this dead end. 】

[Talent Landscape Confrontation has been activated: No one will question why there is an extra person around you, they just think it is all reasonable. 】

[You led her to the best wine club in Beijing. 】

[You asked for a room with excellent confidentiality. 】

[In the huge room, there are only you and her. 】

[You ordered a table full of food and asked for the best wine. 】

Gollum.

Looking at the dishes on the table, Tamamo Mae's throat was moving slightly.

Of course Ian knew what this meant - she was hungry now.

"Want to eat?" he asked.

"I think so." Tamamo nods.

"Then answer me a question." Ian looked at Tamamo Mae and said, "After answering, you can eat as much as you want."

"..."

Tamamo Mae hesitated.

Obviously.

Although the table of delicious food in front of her was a rare thing for her who was hungry, Ian's question was also something that deserved caution.

After thinking for a moment, she gave her answer:

"Can you let me hear the problem first?"

"After all... my abilities are limited. If you want to know some overly complicated questions, I can't answer them."

"You must know this question."

Ian took a sip of the sake on the table.

"Are you...the 'Algae Girl' that the Emperor is hunting for recently?"

He didn't ask randomly.

After all, I am definitely not the kind of person who doesn’t accept anyone.

If his identity was normal, there would be no need to observe him secretly like this.

Not to mention finding opportunities to be alone together.

So--

There is only one possibility.

That means Tamamo Mae's identity is certainly not simple.
