The world in the moon begins with becoming Morgan’s husband!

"Queen?"

Ian suddenly thought of something.

"Madam, what's her name..."

"Fujiwara Touko." Minamoto Yorimitsu lowered his voice a little, for fear of being heard by others.

"?!"

Ian's pupils became a little bigger in an instant.

Because he had heard this name from Tamamo Mae.

That was the person the Ashigaru were talking about when she was loaded into the prison van!

[You realize that the plan to capture Tamamo Mae may be related to Fujiwara Tokuko. 】

[You want more information. 】

[But you find that Fujiwara Tokuko doesn’t seem to want to show his true colors. 】

[Even when meeting with ministers like now, she covered her appearance with a veil. 】

[You feel more and more that this is something wrong. 】

"lady."

Ian looked at Queen Fujiwara Tokuko at the front, with only confusion left in his brows.

"Then don't you think it's a very strange thing for the Queen to go to court?"

"After all, according to the ethics... this should have been done by the Emperor."

"Husband, you are right."

Minamoto Yorimitsu's eyes also fell on Fujiwara Tokuko at the front.

"It's certainly a strange thing."

"But no one will be the first to speak out - that will inevitably cause many conflicts and even attract the hostility of the queen."

"And more importantly."

"The Emperor of France has not raised any objections so far. Just for this reason, it's not our turn to point fingers, right?"

[Of course you understand what Minamoto norimitsu said - instead of questioning the queen, it is better to choose silence. 】

[You didn’t say anything more. 】

[But you don’t recognize this situation in your heart. 】

[After all, the Emperor is the symbol of the power of the entire Heiankyo. If the Empress is in charge of the government for a long time like this, the result will definitely be an exile of power. 】

[You feel like there is a big problem behind this. 】

[But you can’t change it for the time being. 】

"Husband, please stop for now."

"I'm going to report to the queen about getting rid of the 'Algae Girl'."

"it is good."

[This queen-led government has begun. 】

[The ministers reported the matter to Fujiwara Touko one by one. 】

[No one questions this, and no one objects to it. 】

[The atmosphere looks almost the same as when the Emperor was present. 】

【Everything is going on smoothly. 】

[Soon, it will be your turn and Minamoto Yorimitsu's turn. 】

[You have arrived in front of Fujiwara Tokuko. 】

"Queen."

Minamoto Yorimitsu enshrined the "fox corpse" in front of Fujiwara Tokuko.

"This is the result of eliminating the algae girl."

"The Great Onmyoji has successfully killed the 'Algae Girl' in Heian Jing, ending the troubles she caused."

"……it is good."

Fujiwara Tokuko answered coldly, and then looked at the great Onmyoji beside him.

"but--"

Through the veil, Ian could not see the other person's eyes.

But the intuition cultivated by his long career of killing ghosts told him that Fujiwara Tokuko was not so happy.

And it is.

After examining Ian for a while, Fujiwara Tokuko's voice sounded faintly.

It was a somewhat reproachful tone.

"I remember that when the Emperor gave you orders, he gave priority to capturing them alive, right?"

"Now a corpse is delivered..."

really.

Regarding the matter of removing the "algae girl", everything is similar to what Ian felt.

What they wanted was to bring Tamamo-mae into the palace, not to kill her somewhere.

Fujiwara Tokuko's attitude was definitely not to make things difficult - but what she expected was for Tamamo Mae to be captured and taken to the palace.

The "fox corpse" in front of me made this expectation completely dead.

This was probably the reason why she was unhappy.

[You confirmed your thoughts. 】

[You realize something is wrong. 】

[This is definitely not the attitude that the King or Queen should have. 】

[After all, Tamamo Mae is still a fox demon no matter how bad she is. Killing her is definitely a great achievement. 】

[But you didn’t express your thoughts. 】

[You decide to "explain" the matter in front of you clearly - after all, you have already prepared your words. 】

"Queen."

Ian answered Fujiwara Touko in a neither arrogant nor humble manner.

"The King of France's order indeed contains content that allows us to capture the 'Algae Girl' alive as much as possible."

"but--"

Ian looked at the veiled woman in front of him.

"The situation was too urgent."

"In order to prevent the 'Algae Girl' from harming more people, I had to put it to death in the fire to prevent the disaster."

"..."

Fujiwara Tokuko did not continue what Ian said.

But even if you can't see her expression, this silence is enough to explain her attitude.

Seeing this, Minamoto Noraimitsu quickly said:

"Queen, I can testify."

"At that time, the 'Algae Girl' made an extremely terrifying howl after being caught."

"My minister was worried that this situation would lead to unnecessary dangers, so he ordered him to be burned to death in the fire."

"at this point--"

"Any Ashigaru who participated in the demon slaying that night can attest to this."

"This is not because the Great Onmyoji deliberately killed the 'Algae Girl', but because he had no way to capture it alive, so he had to do it."

Although as Ian's husband, Minamoto no Laimitsu's words sounded somewhat like he was protecting the other party.

But everyone who knows her well knows that even if the eldest lady of Genji does this, she will produce irrefutable evidence.

Her acting style has always been like this, and there is no room for any wastage.

"..."

Fujiwara Tokuko still didn't speak.

However, her eyes moved away from Ian and fell on the "fox corpse" offered by the two.

She still had the attitude of saying nothing.

But Ian wasn't worried at all.

After all, it wasn't like he didn't notice the flaws on the "fox corpse".

Before entering the court, the Great Onmyoji had already asked Tamamozen to help him "repair" these problems.

First of all.

It was painted again with the spray flowing out of the fox's treasure with trembling legs.

then.

Ian acted as a model maker, using his fingers to measure the wet treasure in front of Tamamo, while also "making" a one-to-one replica of the interior for the "fox corpse."

At last.

He asked Tamamo Mae to rinse the newly made part in the same way.

now--

He can say without exaggeration: Even if you examine this "corpse" with the most rigorous attitude, it is impossible to find any flaws.

This can only be the body of a "fox demon"!

that's the truth.

Fujiwara Dezi inspected it for a long time, but could not find any problems.

All circumstances indicate that this "corpse" is what was left after the "Algae Girl" was killed.

"..."

"Thank you for your hard work." Fujiwara Tokuko said an encouraging word lightly.

"I will ask the Emperor to give you the reward you deserve."

"You go down."

"...As ordered."

[The "algae girl" eradication campaign, which lasted for a season and used countless financial and manpower resources, has officially come to an end. 】

[You will receive a reward from the King of France. 】

[Minamoto Yorimitsu is very happy about this - because she feels that you, with your outstanding talents, should have had a chance to become famous. 】

[But she soon noticed something was wrong with your expression. 】

[She realizes that the situation may be different from what she imagined. 】

[She moves closer to you. 】

"Husband, what's wrong with you?"

Minamoto no Yorimitsu asked quietly beside Ian.
