Combining the previous ideas, the only thing that fits all of this is the "algae girl".

"..."

Tamamo Mae's eyes trembled - this was obviously a reaction to what Ian said.

Her expression began to look a little embarrassing.

However, Ian spoke at this time:

"Eat first."

"Migu?"

Tamamo Mae was a little surprised, but nodded anyway.

"Eh, good."

[Tamamo Mae is a little surprised at your answer. 】

[But maybe she was really hungry. 】

[This is not difficult to understand - after all, if you are a 'weed girl', it is indeed not an easy task to have enough food in Heian Jing's current hunting environment. 】

[As you watch, she fills her belly nervously. 】

"Thank you, Mr. Abe."

After finishing eating, Tamamo Mae made a deep bow to Ian.

"So you know my name?"

"Yes." Tamamozae raised his head, "Mr. Abe is very prestigious in Heian Kyo. I know your name even if I haven't specifically investigated it."

"In that case-"

Ian looked at Tamamo Mae with a pair of cute fox ears in front of him.

"You should also know who I am."

"Really, Miss Zaoname?"

"..."

Silence is confirmation.

Ian is now almost 100% sure that the Tamamo Mae in front of him is the "Moon Girl" that Karasuba is looking for.

In terms of interests, his best choice now is to send her to him in the name of Minamoto Noraimitsu.

In this way, it can be considered that Genji has made a great contribution.

Minamoto Yorimitsu is bound to be further reused.

but--

Ian found that he still couldn't forget the look he saw on the street that day.

At least figure out what's going on first.

The Great Onmyoji thought so and spoke again:

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to admit it."

"Anyway, if I hand you over, everything will come to light."

"It's just that I don't know what will be waiting for you at that time."

"Migu?!"

Tamamo Mae suddenly panicked a lot.

She shook her head repeatedly, and then quickly said:

"I admit it! I am the 'algae girl' that Jingli has been looking for."

Finally, Tamamo Mae admitted his identity personally, but Ian did not stop and continued to ask:

"Isn't this even weirder?"

"If you are the 'Algae Girl', why did you come to me?"

"..."

Tamamo Mae seemed a little nostalgic after hearing this.

"because--"

"Mr. Abe showed me a very friendly smile on the street that day."

"I... this is the first time I have experienced this kind of thing."

"So I think Mr. Abe will be the person who can help me."

What Tamamo Mae said was very moving, but Ian's expression did not change too obviously.

He just looked back at the shoji door behind him and made sure it was closed tightly before continuing:

"Then let's talk about it."

"What on earth happened to you...?"

"My concubine understands."

[Tamamozen tells you the reason why he came to Heian Kyo. 】

[She has no intention of entering the court to serve the Emperor. 】

[But after just meeting with his important ministers in the mountains and forests, he was forcibly admitted to the court. 】

[After that, it was Tamamo-mae who took the opportunity to escape. 】

"..."

After listening to Tamamo Mae's story, Ian was silent for a while before continuing:

"Do you... hate the King of France?"

"Of course." Tamamo Mae replied without hesitation.

"Put me in a prison car and bring me to the capital, and then ask me to serve him."

"Although I have a good temper, I can't be treated so rudely!"

"That--"

Ian looked at the angry Tamamo Mae before him and did not lose his logic.

He followed her words and pointed out a doubtful point.

"Since you have escaped, wouldn't it be better to just leave Heianjing?"

"Why do you still come to me?"

"This……"

Ian's words brought Tamamo Mae back to reality from that angry look.

She whispered.

"The reason why I came to see Mr. Abe is partly because of that smile."

"On the other hand, it's because I can't get out."

"Can't get out?"

Ian reacted quickly.

"Are you saying that all roads to Beijing are blocked?"

"Yes." Tamamo nods, "I have worked very hard to investigate every way out of here."

"But no matter which one it is, it is no longer suitable for me to pass."

Ian knew Tamamo Mae wasn't lying.

After all, this method of blocking the entry and exit of monsters can be regarded as half a guide for him as the Great Onmyoji.

in other words--

She only came to him when she was desperate.

Ian looked at Tamamo Mae, who was very sad.

Her two fox ears were half-stretched, and she looked lethargic.

"But aren't you able to conceal your aura?" The Great Onmyoji continued and asked, "Wouldn't it be better to simply muddle through like before?"

"That's what I said..."

Tamamo Mae's expression looked a little embarrassed.

"But my magic weapon is not with me now, so there is no way for me to guarantee that I can definitely pass such an inspection."

"Your magic weapon?"

"Yes." Tamamo Mae looked directly at the man in front of her.

"That is a mirror I carry with me."

"But because I was too panicked when escaping, I accidentally lost it in the prison van."

"So in desperation, I can only come to seek help from Mr. Abe."

[Tamazo Mae said it was very wronging, but you were unmoved. 】

[Because although you understand the reason for the sadness in her eyes, you don't feel enough reason for you to take action. 】

[You decide to confess all this. 】

"Why should I help you?"

Ian directly expressed his inner thoughts.

"These problems are indeed serious for you...but for me, they are not unacceptable, right?"

"You are a fox demon."

"And I am the Great Onmyoji."

"If I help you... it will only be a troublesome thing for me, won't it?"

"..."

[Tamazo is silent. 】

[But she didn't cry, but seemed a little calm. 】

[You have been mentally prepared from the moment you realize that she may be coming to find you. 】

"Well...that's true."

Tamamo Mae lowered her head, her tone low and sad.

"I really have no qualifications to ask Mr. Abe for help."

"I misunderstood Mr. Abe's smile that day...I'm sorry."

"So--"

Tamamo Mae stretched out her hands towards Ian.

"Please ask Mr. Abe to tie my hands and go to collect the reward before others."

"This is my repayment for Mr. Abe's meal."

Looking at the hands reaching towards him, Ian's head was still clear.

He said; "Are you trying to retreat in order to advance? This kind of thinking is useless to me."

"Do not."

Tamamo Mae shook her head and smiled bitterly.

"I just realized that there won't be anyone in this world who wants to help me."

"I'd better accept all the arrangements of reality."
