"I thought about the possibility."

Ian answered very seriously.

"But I think Chou Yuqian probably already knows that all this is punishment."

"After all, before we went there, she had been bound by the fate of being a slain ghost for a long time."

"perhaps--"

"She wanted to find relief."

"..."

Shuten Doji did not continue to delve deeper.

She knew that the situation Ian mentioned was indeed possible.

And anyway, Chou Gozen has disappeared now.

It's pointless to think about her reasons.

"Mr. Abe."

"Xiaoyu, what's wrong?"

"Well... I'm a little worried."

"What if that mirror doesn't realize Mr. Abe's idea in the end?"

It’s definitely not that Tamamo Mae doesn’t want to help.

But she realizes that the key to the whole plan is her own mirror.

She was a little afraid that it would not be worthy of the expectations of the Great Onmyoji.

Of course Ian knew what Tamamo Mae was thinking.

He opened his mouth and said:

"Xiaoyu, don't be nervous."

“I knew that mirror might not be able to achieve what I had in mind.”

"but--"

"You have to try it."

Ian looked to the other side of the room - the opposite room outside the shoji door was where Minamoto no Yorimitsu was sleeping soundly.

"I don't want Raimitsu's future to be like that."

"She's been through enough."

"so--"

The Great Onmyoji bowed before two ghosts and one demon.

"Shuten, Ibaraki, and Kodama."

"No matter what, please help me."

"please!"

[The room suddenly became a lot quieter. 】

[They all present know what your bow means. 】

[This is a sign of willingness to give up one's dignity for Minamoto Yorimitsu. 】

[You do love her very much - you are even willing to give up some important things for it. 】

"Mr. Abe..."

Tamamo Mae helped Ian up.

"My concubine understands."

"I will definitely try my best to help Mr. Abe."

"Xiaoyu, thank you."

"Hey, you fox is too cunning!" Shuten Doji muttered, "Let's take this moment to impress the uncle, right?"

"but--"

The female imp looked at Ian.

"That's pretty much what we have in mind."

"after all--"

"We were brought back from that kind of ghost place by the uncle... Let's just treat it as a clean slate."

"Yeah." Ian nodded.

"Thank you, Shutun."

Crack-crack-crack.

Ibaraki Doji clapped his hands.

"Great."

"In this case, after the matter is over, Shuten can taste the big stick again."

"Ibaraki, what are you talking about!"

[You have reached a consensus. 】

[You start making plans. 】

[You and Minamoto Yorimitsu are responsible for attracting Fujiwara Tokuko's attention during the next court meeting. 】

[Shuten Doji and Ibaraki Doji were responsible for sneaking into Heian Palace and stealing the mirror in front of Tamamo. 】

[Tamazo Mae met outside the Heian Palace - after all, she is the owner of the mirror and can judge all kinds of problems related to the mirror at the first time. 】

[This is an operation with a clear division of labor. 】

[Time passes slowly while waiting. 】

[You are constantly improving various details - such as what the mirror looks like and what should be paid attention to when the two ghosts enter and exit the Peace Palace. 】

[Finally, you have waited for the day you planned. 】

Entrance.

Minamoto no Yorimitsu is arranging clothes for Ian.

Although they have been together for a long time, Minamoto no Yorimitsu still has the same feelings for him as before.

"Husband, why do you want to go to court with me today?"

"Has your husband already figured out how to deal with the Emperor's affairs?"

[You know that it is impossible to tell Minamoto no Yorimitsu about your plans with them. 】

[You decide to tell a little lie that doesn’t affect the situation. 】

"No."

Ian shook his head.

"That's why I have to go a few more times. Maybe I will make some new discoveries."

"I see." Minamoto no Laiguang nodded.

"I understand."

"Husband, if there is any problem, tell me as soon as possible...I will definitely protect you."

"I know, there is no need to worry, madam."

[You and Minamoto no Yorimitsu left. 】

[Tamamozen, Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji will set off later. 】

[After all, if you go there too early, firstly, you may not have lured Fujiwara Tokuko away, and secondly, you may be easily discovered by Minamoto Yorimitsu. 】

【They got together. 】

Looking at Tamamo Mae next to him, Shuten Douji felt a little inferior.

because--

She is very pretty.

She is as beautiful as Minamoto Yorimitsu.

Shuten Doji already felt this way when he saw Tamamo Mae for the first time.

Do all the ghosts that the Great Onmyoji likes have to be beautiful?

The female imp couldn't help but have such thoughts in her heart.

"Um... Shuten, right?" Tamamo Mae's voice sounded.

"Do you still remember the taboos I told you about when holding a mirror?"

"We're not stupid."

Shuten Doji stared at Tamamo Mae in front of him and began to mutter.

"You don't have to stress it so many times."

"Sorry." Tamamo Mae clasped her hands together and apologized.

"I'm just afraid that my own reasons will affect Mr. Abe's plan."

"..."

Shuten Doji became more and more silent.

She felt that Tamamo Mae was really trying her best to do this.

In comparison, he seemed a bit lazy.

"Can we ask you a question? Fox Demon."

"No problem at all."

"That--"

Shuten Doji looked at Tamamo Mae beside him.

"Don't you feel a little uncomfortable?"

"uncomfortable?"

"Yes!" Shuten Doji nodded.

"Although the uncle is kneeling down to ask for our help... but in the final analysis, we are still helping the uncle save our love rival."

"You...don't you have the idea of ​​​​taking advantage of the situation?"

Shutendouji didn't explain clearly what he meant.

But Tamamo Mae completely understood what she meant - if something happened to Minamoto Yorimitsu, it would actually be a better opportunity.

"Um... how do you say it?"

The fox demon's expression became a little subtle.

"Of course I have also had the thought 'It would be great if Mrs. Yuan was not here at all'."

"But I also know how much Mrs. Minamoto means to Mr. Abe."

"so--"

"Although it will be sad to see Mr. Abe and Mrs. Minamoto together, I don't want to see Mr. Abe's pain when he loses Mrs. Minamoto."

"Are you lying?"

Shuten Doji rubbed his hands uneasily.
