"At noon tomorrow, can Mr. Abe have a meal with me in this mansion?"

"It doesn't matter if it doesn't work... I just mentioned it a little bit, so I won't come..."

Before Tamamo finished speaking, Ian had already replied:

"It will come, just wait."

"But I have to go now."

Hearing such an answer, Tamamo Mae was overjoyed.

"Yes!"

"I will be well prepared!"

[Your permission is entirely due to concerns about Tamamo-mae's condition. 】

[After all, if she cannot bear this situation and chooses to do something, you are worried that you will not be able to control the situation. 】

[So you know you have to take care of her thoughts. 】

[This is solving both her problem and yours. 】

The next day.

Ian arrived as promised.

As soon as he pushed open the shoji door of the old mansion, he saw the busy figure of Tamamo-mae - she really valued this lunch.

Seeing the arrival of the Great Onmyoji, Tamamo Mae stopped temporarily.

Even though she was so busy that she was sweating profusely, she still showed a happy smile and said:

"Mr. Abe, please wait a moment."

"I will be ready soon."

"Well, I see."

[You found a spot on the tatami and sat down. 】

【Tamamo Mae is so busy in front of you. 】

[She didn’t seem averse to doing this, and even looked a little happy. 】

[Soon, she prepared a table of dishes. 】

[That is a cooking skill that is not inferior to that of a winery. 】

"Mr. Abe."

Tamamo Mae brought the last dish to the table in front of Ian.

"Please have a taste of my craftsmanship."

"..."

"Mr. Abe, what's that look in your eyes?" Tamamo Mae looked a little worried, "Is there something wrong with me?"

"No."

Ian shook his head.

"I just vaguely remember you saying that you don't like waiting on others, and you plan to help."

"But it seems now that you don't understand this aspect."

"And just now, you looked very happy."

"..."

Tamamo Mae held her cheek, put her hands on the table, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

"Mr. Abe, you are wrong."

"It's not that I don't like serving people...it's just that I haven't met anyone worthy of doing so."

"And now—"

The fox demon looked at the Great Onmyoji in front of him.

"Mr. Abe is my only benefactor."

"So I think you are worthy of this kind of service."

"Please Mr. Abe, please enjoy these dishes made with my hard work."

"..."

Tamamo Mae's eyes were full of expectation.

Ian hesitated for a while but did not refuse her kindness.

He began to taste the dishes.

I have to say is.

Tamamo Mae's skills are as good as her words.

Ian really didn't find anything wrong with it;

"Xiaoyu, your craftsmanship is really good."

"of course."

Tamamo Mae looked very proud.

"I have worked very hard for today's dinner."

"correct."

The virtuous fox demon stood up and picked up the wine can beside him.

"The wine Mr. Abe brought before has not been opened yet."

"Today's words——"

Tamamo-mae put the wine can on the table and sat next to Ian.

"Mr. Abe."

"Would you like to have a few drinks with me?"

139. Tamamo-mae’s flavored wine ([-] words chapter)

"..."

Ian watched Tamamo sit next to him naturally, his lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

But in the end, he didn't say those words, but just looked at the fox demon in front of him.

Tamamo-mae wasn't slow--or she didn't need that kind of slowness right now.

She directly regarded all this as the Great Onmyoji's tacit approval.

“I’m going to pour you wine now?~”

Tamamo-mae announced her action in a happy tone and opened the cloth covering her mouth.

Suddenly, a faint fragrance echoed in the room.

The charming fox demon poured the wine into the white cup, then held it in both hands and raised it in front of Ian.

"Mr. Abe, let's have a drink."

But what Tamamo Mae didn't expect was.

Facing the wine glass that came to him, Ian did not drink it all in one gulp.

He reached out his hand and gently pushed it back to Tamamo's lips.

"Xiaoyu, it's harder for you."

"As for this glass of wine, you should drink it first."

"Eh, this..."

Looking at the wine glass that returned to him, Tamamo Mae looked a little embarrassed.

"how?"

Ian looked at the fox demon in front of him with a bit more confusion in his tone.

"Xiaoyu, can't you drink this glass of wine?"

"Or...what's wrong with this glass of wine?"

"Migu!"

"There is no such thing!"

Tamamo Mae shook her head repeatedly, but her throat couldn't stop moving.

"I will drink it now."

There was naturally a reason why Tamamo Mae was so hesitant.

This is not just wine—it’s wine with added ingredients.

That is the "material" of Fox's secret recipe.

She was sure that the great onmyoji in front of her would definitely have some uncontrollable thoughts after drinking such wine.

And the reason for doing this is also very simple.

Tamamo Mae was worried.

Although she already knew that the other party had ulterior motives for doing this for her, this relationship was extremely fragile for her now.

What if he doesn't want his mirror anymore?

Or what should he do if something happened along the way that made him feel that it wasn't worth it?

This was not the first time she had witnessed this kind of relationship destruction.

and so--

In order to prevent things from going in the direction she didn't want, she had to do something to strengthen this relationship.

For example, a wine with "ingredients" like this.

She knew more or less what the other person would do after drinking such a thing.

Compared to the Emperor who put himself in the prison car, Tamamo-mae was naturally more willing to choose the great Onmyoji who was really taking risks to find shelter for himself.

but--

All this is based on the other party drinking the wine!

And now I am the one drinking wine...

Gollum.

While the Great Onmyoji watched, Tamamo Mae drank the cup of wine with the "flavor" added to it.

Fortunately.

If it's just one cup, I shouldn't feel any pressure.

Tamamo Mae gently wiped the wine from her pink lips and looked at him with a smile.

"Mr. Abe, this wine is really good."

"Let me fill a glass for you~"

"and many more."

Ian stopped Tamamo's hand that was pouring wine.

"Xiaoyu, can you have another drink?"

"W-have another drink?"

Tamamo Mae felt a little panicked as her body temperature had risen slightly.

"Mr. Abe, why is this?"
