Encounter with Tamamo-no-Mae on the Streets of Kyoto

[You sense that something is not quite right.]

[You look again at the figure that brushed past you.]

[Talent Grand Onmyoji++ activated: You definitely saw a fox tail; it was not an illusion.]

[You realize that the situation might be a bit off.]

Is it a demon?

Ian searched his memory, but found nothing related.

If that's the case, it's probably not a demon.

Although he couldn't be completely sure, the possibility was high.

But regardless—

This shouldn't be happening on the streets of Kyoto.

Ian looked at the figure again, and found that she was also looking at him.

This time, he could confirm more.

It was a beautiful woman's face.

Her skin was fair and rosy.

Her lips were red and her teeth were white, a truly beautiful sight.

Her golden eyes were enchanting but not seductive, with a hint of elegance.

Pink hair peeked out from her hat, like neatly arranged cherry blossoms.

Even Ian, who wasn't particularly interested in women, couldn't help but admire her stunning beauty.

But it was just admiration.

The Grand Onmyoji quickly suppressed his emotions—because he knew she had noticed him.

On the bustling streets of Kyoto, they stared at each other.

Ian saw a pair of sad eyes—slightly lowered eyelids, somewhat unfocused gaze, and a constant stream of sorrow.

He didn't know why she looked at him like that.

But out of instinctive kindness,

Ian gave her a friendly smile.

He didn't expect that she would look surprised, as if she had never experienced such a thing.

The sound of hooves.

The Imperial Guard, searching the streets, passed in front of Ian.

When they were gone, the figure was no longer in the Grand Onmyoji's sight, as if she had never existed.

"This..."

Ian couldn't believe his eyes.

"Lord Abe?"

A foot soldier approached.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

Ian didn't mention the dreamlike encounter on the street.

He felt that there was something unsettling behind that sad expression.

[You return to the mansion with this matter on your mind.]

[You see Minamoto no Raiko.]

[You are a bit surprised.]

[Because according to usual practice, as an important official, she should still be dealing with government affairs.]

"Husband!"

Seeing Ian return, Minamoto no Raiko immediately put down what she was doing and rushed towards him.

"You're finally back."

"..."

The heavy workload hadn't destroyed their relationship; instead, it made each meeting more joyful.

The familiar, overwhelming embrace was their greatest happiness.

Ian was used to Minamoto no Raiko's affectionate ways.

Besides—

It wasn't unpleasant.

"You're home early today, my lady."

Ian asked a bit surprised.

"Yes."

Minamoto no Raiko looked up, her eyes only on Ian.

"Because the search has started... so there's a little less to deal with today."

"Oh—!" 

Ian understood and and nodded.

Minamoto no Raiko grabbed Ian's hand.

"Husband, let's bathe together today!" 

"Sure, whatever you like, my lady."

Ian said as he tagged along with her towards the bath.

.........

[You go to the bath in the mansion.]

[This is a place Minamoto no Raiko had built.]

[The size and shape are very similar to the small pond where you first met.]

[Although it took up a lot of space and cost a lot of money.]

[Minamoto no Raiko is very satisfied.]

"Husband."

"Let me serve you."

"Thank you, my lady."

The wide kimono that the Onmyoji usually wore was taken off.

Ian's figure leaned against the edge of the bath.

And.

Minamoto no Raiko knelt beside him, rubbing a towel with hot water from a wooden basin.

Frankly, this shouldn't be something someone of her status would do.

There were many servants in the mansion who could do this.

But—

Minamoto no Raiko was very possessive of Ian.

She wouldn't give up the chance to serve him to anyone else.

She wiped her husband's hand, her eyes filled with hearts.

"Husband, does this feel good?"

"Yes," Ian replied. "But won't it be tiring for you, my lady?"

"You just finished your heavy duties, and now you're working so hard. I feel a little guilty."

In response to his words, Minamoto no Raiko leaned closer.

"Then—" 

And whispered over Ian's shoulder.

"Husband, please serve me a little too."

"No problem," Ian agreed. "What kind of service would you like, my lady?"

"Hmm... this kind of service."

Minamoto no Raiko took Ian's hand and placed it on her most prominent curve.

and as Ian's hand was on her soft breast she whispered again.

"Massage Mommy here~"

Splash, splash.

Another set of clothes was left on the edge of the bath.

Minamoto no Raiko was submerged in the hot water.

The steam stirred her cheeks, turning everything red.

The current lord of Mino Province was enjoying complete relaxation.

Her legs were slightly apart, as if she were sitting in a rattan chair on her lover's lap.

But—

People sitting in rattan chairs worry about falling.

She didn't have to worry about that.

Because Ian provided strong support and stability from behind.

Her warrior hands were tightly intertwined with her lover's one hand.

While the other hand was playing with her other breast.

This contact was accompanied by the surging waves.

The large but soft curves of her breasts were shaped into various forms by his fingers, sometimes concave, sometimes stretched, and occasionally gently pinched at a point.

But Minamoto no Raiko couldn't say anything.

Because her lips were forcibly occupied by the Grand Onmyoji, and even the movement of her tongue was subject to his permission.

The warrior's mind was dizzy.

But she didn't dislike being controlled by him; instead, she felt very relaxed.

When their lips temporarily parted.

Minamoto no Raiko looked at her close companion, exhaled a breath of hot air, and said with a gentle smile:

"Husband, can you please satisfy me as both a wife and a mother?"

"...Of course."

The satisfaction of a wife comes from the act of procreation.

The satisfaction of a mother comes from the act of nurturing.

Then—

Just do both at the same time.

The Grand Onmyoji lowered his head and kissed one of her breast deeply.

The other was given enough freedom to feel the thrill of his hand.

Under the water, the current surged.

His big rod stirred the water, trying to make it warmer.

Minamoto no Raiko breathed hot air and rolled her eyes slightly.

Finally, she said:

"Husband... please cherish Mommy." 

As she said, even her lower hole was filled with his tool of mass destruction.

All three points were in a line.

The warmth from the Grand Onmyoji under the water;

The sweet fragrance that the warrior exhaled above the water;

And the motherly love that bloomed in Ian's mouth;

A beautiful atmosphere lingered in the place that was made to resemble their first encounter.

Minamoto no Raiko moaned under his dominant lips.

her pussy was entirely pounded into his weapon's shape.

"Mhm~ahmhh~".

she couldn't resist his control nor did she desire to.

Waves surged and bodies moved under the the moonlight.

Finaly as Minamoto no raiko cummed for nth time.

Ian gave her a release by filling her entire hole.

........

A dozen minutes later.

Minamoto no Raiko snuggled beside Ian, her face flushed.

"Husband, you're amazing~"

"You really did both at the same time."

"Of course," Ian smiled. "You asked me to, so I had to try my best."

"I'm so happy..."

Minamoto no Raiko looked up at Ian, her eyes full of affection.

"I wish we could be this loving every day."

"But—" she sighed. "We'll be busy again tomorrow."

"My lady, did something happen again?"

Ian inquired his tone worried.

"No," Minamoto no Raiko shook her head.

"It's just that the Emperor ordered us to find that 'Algae Woman,' so there will definitely be more action."

[Hearing Minamoto no Raiko's words, you recall the woman you saw on the street.]

[Her sad eyes fill your mind.]

[This makes you feel that the Emperor's urgency is a bit off.]

[You decide to ask Minamoto no Raiko more.]

"My lady."

Ian looked at Minamoto no Raiko, who was blushing beside him, and asked:

"Why is the Emperor so concerned about a woman?"

"With his status, he must have many choices of beautiful women, right?"

"And it can't be love—isn't she a new woman at court?"

"I don't know," Minamoto no Raiko tilted her head slightly.

"Husband, you know it's not easy to question the Emperor's decisions."

"...I guess."

Ian nodded thoughtfully.

"Husband," Minamoto no Raiko looked at Ian, who was thinking, "you seem very concerned about this."

"Including this time, you've asked me several times, right?"

"..."

Ian smiled calmly.

"My lady, this is a great opportunity for the Minamoto clan."

"Of course I have to be concerned."

"So as a member of the Minamoto clan..."

Minamoto no Raiko quickly accepted Ian's explanation.

"But speaking of which, didn't we have two little girls always bothering you at the mansion?"

"Why don't we see them anymore?" 

Hearing her question Ian gave a answer he had already prepared beforehand.

"Oh... something happened to their neighbors, so I let them go back."

"Is everything alright?" She said as she looked worried.

"Yes," Ian shook his head. "My lady, you seem concerned about them?"

"Not concerned..." Minamoto no Raiko muttered. "Just that one of them looked familiar."

"...I see."

[You don't mention the woman you saw.]

[You don't want to deceive Minamoto no Raiko.]

[But she disappeared so quickly that you wonder if you saw wrong.]

[You don't want to add to Minamoto no Raiko's worries.]

[You decide to confirm her existence before mentioning it.]

But strangely enough, since the encounter on the street, the Grand Onmyoji hadn't seen the beautiful figure again.

It was as if it was all a phantom.

Ian wondered if he had really seen something.

But—

He hoped it wasn't an illusion.

He wanted to see her again.

Her sad eyes made him feel that she had some hidden story.

[Your wish didn't come true.]

[Things unfolded as Minamoto no Raiko predicted.]

[Because of her, you were able to lead some foot soldiers in the city search.]

[This was a good thing—you were being used.]

[But your life became strange due to frequent appearances on the streets of Kyoto.]

[Someone seemed to be watching you from the shadows.]

Here it comes again—

The gaze from somewhere.

Ian frowned.

This wasn't the first time he had felt it.

Since taking command of some foot soldiers, he had felt this gaze from time to time.

And as time went on, the frequency of this gaze increased.

But the biggest problem wasn't that.

It was that he couldn't find the source of the gaze.

To describe it—

It was as if the owner of the gaze was actively hiding their presence.

If it weren't for his keen senses as an Onmyoji,

He might not have even noticed he was being watched.

[You realize there might be a big problem.]

[You have to find the owner of this gaze.]

[You take action.]

"Follow my instructions," Ian ordered the foot soldiers.

"Yes, Lord Abe!"

The foot soldiers dispersed.

Ian was alone again.

But he could still feel the gaze—it meant he was the target.

That made things easier.

Ian began to wander the streets of Kyoto.

He moved quickly and slowly.

The hidden gaze adjusted its pace accordingly.

The Grand Onmyoji reached a street corner.

A figure hurriedly followed.

But when the figure turned the corner, they found themselves in a dead end.

Where did he go?

The next moment—

The ground under the figure's feet began to sink, trapping their feet.

This was a "prison" made using the earth element of the Five Elements.

Then, Ian's voice came from above.

He was sitting on the walls on both sides of the alley, looking down at the person who had been watching him.

"Have you seen enough?"

"If you have... I'll have to take you to the foot soldiers."

"Migu!"

The watcher made a panicked sound.

"Please don't!"

"I... was just looking for a chance to see you alone again!"

"See me again?"

Hearing this, Ian suddenly remembered something.

He jumped down from the wall and went to the figure, lifting the black veil that hid their face.

When he saw the face, Ian was stunned.

It was a face he had only seen once, but had remembered deeply.

Pink hair, fox ears, golden eyes, white skin.

"You're that person from that day!"

"Yes, I am Tamamo-mae."

The fox-eared girl, Tamamo-mae, had a sad look in her eyes, a look that would make anyone feel sorry for her.

"It might be rude to say this now, but—"

"Can you please help me, who is now in a predicament?"
