Ian simply couldn't imagine what would have happened to Tamamo Mae at this moment if he had never appeared.

But he knows—

I must tell this fox demon:

She was never a filth that brought disaster.

Only the unsatisfied human heart is the root of all evil.

147. The Great Onmyoji developed another treasure in Tamamo-mae ([-] words chapter)

[You and Minamoto Yorimitsu returned to the mansion. 】

【You are still thinking about Tamamo Mae. 】

[After all, you already have the idea of ​​telling her the truth. 】

[You found an excuse to leave Minamoto no Yorimitsu temporarily. 】

【You have arrived at the door of Tamamo-mae's room. 】

[That’s the opposite side of the room between you and Minamoto Noraimitsu. 】

"Xiaoyu."

Through the shoji door, Ian shouted into the room.

However, no response came.

"..."

Ian was silent for a moment, then spoke again:

"Xiaoyu, do I want to come in?"

After saying this, the Great Onmyoji did not go in directly.

He deliberately waited for a few seconds to make sure there was no sound before opening the door.

no one.

There was no figure of Tamamo Mae in the empty room.

"Is this going out?"

Ian inevitably had this idea in his mind, but he quickly rejected it.

Because Tamamo Mae is unlikely to go out.

She doesn't have a single friend in Kyoto.

As for hanging out or something, Ian didn't think she would do such a thing.

and so--

Tamamo Mae is probably still in the mansion.

Ian's thoughts were soon confirmed.

Because he heard a familiar chant.

"Migu..."

[You look in the direction from which the sound came. 】

[You realize that it comes from the room where you and Minamoto no Yorimitsu were. 】

across?

Ian looked at the room on the other side - he shouldn't have heard wrong.

What is she doing over there?

[You left the current room. 】

[You have come to the other side. 】

[You pushed open the shoji door. 】

A swipe.

The shoji door was opened by Ian.

The sight before him was something he had never imagined.

I saw that the quilts that I and Minamoto no Yorimitsu usually covered had been neatly folded and placed on the tatami beside them.

Tamamo Mae was lying on the bed.

She held Ian's changed clothes in one hand and sniffed them carefully.

Although the taste may have been diluted, the lonely fox demon still showed an intoxicated expression.

Her legs were spread slightly.

The other hand was gently fiddling with his fox treasure.

The inside of the fox treasure was filled with a white towel.

It seems that Tamamo Mae has also mastered the method of filling the pot without overflowing.

only--

The scene at this moment seemed a bit subtle to Ian.

The light from outside the house slanted in and fell impartially on the hand that couldn't help but feel lonely.

Tamamo Mae turned around and saw the Great Onmyoji standing at the door.

For a moment, the fox demon's beautiful golden eyes were filled with panic.

"Mr. Abe, I am..."

however--

Before Tamamo Mae finished speaking, the Great Onmyoji had already walked in front of her.

He bent down, covered her mouth, and then said softly in her ear:

"I did not see anything."

"and also."

"Xiaoyu, wait for me in the room tonight."

"Eh?"

Before Tamamo Mae could react, the Great Onmyoji stood up and left the room.

Everything returned to silence.

It was as if no one had ever been there.

Tamamo Mae was left alone sitting on the tatami, looking a little dazed.

[You have not forgotten what you just saw. 】

[But you don’t feel disgusted, but instead feel a little sad for Tamamo Mae. 】

[What do her feelings mean to you? 】

【You are in a state of confusion. 】

[Minamoto Yorimitsu noticed something unusual about you. 】

"Husband, what's wrong with you?"

Minamoto Noraimitsu looked at his lover in front of him and asked with worry on his face.

"Is the Queen's matter giving you too much headache?"

"If so--"

Minamoto no Yorimitsu took Ian's hand.

"Then husband can rest for a while first."

"Given our current situation as Genji, it is not difficult to deal with the Queen."

"After all, if your husband is exhausted both physically and mentally, then the gains outweigh the losses."

"..."

[You realize that Tokuko Fujiwara is actually one of the obstacles to the resurgence of Genji. 】

[After all, they are the group that got rid of the "algae girl" who was the scapegoat. 】

[Fujiwara Tokuko will naturally not have a good look towards you. 】

【You must find a way to solve this problem. 】

【And Tamamo Mae may be the key to everything. 】

【Your heart is no longer confused. 】

"Madam, can we rest early today?"

"I'm a little tired."

"Hmm~" Minamoto no Yoriguang nodded gently.

"I happen to be very tired too."

[You and Minamoto no Yorimitsu spent some time together as a couple. 】

[She found no trace of Tamamo Mae's presence in the room. 】

【She is really tired. 】

【She fell asleep. 】

[You decide to take action. 】

late at night.

Ian looked at Minamoto Yorimitsu, who was sleeping soundly next to the pillow, and quietly got up.

He opened the shoji door and closed it gently.

The Great Onmyoji came to the door of the room on the other side and said:

"Xiaoyu, can I come in?"

"Yes, yes."

Tamamo Mae's answer came from behind the door.

Just a little panicked.

[You opened the door. 】

【You entered Tamamo-mae's room. 】

Puff.

Tamamo Mae bowed directly in front of Ian.

"Mr. Abe, I didn't do that on purpose!"

"only……"

Tamamo Mae couldn't speak any more.

Although she thought of many reasons.

But after all, his behavior in their room is an indisputable fact.

All explanations became feeble at this time.

Tamamo Mae could only apologize.

"sorry."

"Such a concubine must disgust Mr. Abe, right?"
