Fate/Bastard First Simulation In Britain as Morgan's husband

Chapter 118: The Secret of Minamoto no Yorimitsu, the Long-Awaited Grand Wedding in Heian-kyo



"..."

"Master, what kind of eyes are those?"

Minamoto no Yorimitsu looked at Ian in front of her, her beautiful purple pupils filled with worry.

"Is my request too rude?"

Ian shook his head.

"Nothing like that."

"And rather than being rude, it's more of a surprise."

"Surprise?"

"Yes." Ian nodded, "I didn't expect you to still be thinking about these things, Yorimitsu."

"Yes."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu lowered her head, looking very shy.

"Master, I have been thinking about it every moment of these six months."

"But I know that nagging around you like a annoying woman is a very stupid behavior... so until today, I dared to say what I was thinking."

"But Master, if you think this request is too much, please pretend that I never mentioned it."

"From now on, I will still serve you well."

"..."

Ian looked at her in front of him and fell into silence.

After a long time, he said:

"Yorimitsu, is this really what you want in your heart?"

"Yes, Master." Minamoto no Yorimitsu did not hesitate at all, "Please don't doubt my determination."

"I decided to confide in you after thinking about it for half a year."

"Okay, I understand."

Ian smiled slightly.

"Since you have said so."

"After you kill 'Nurikabe', I will propose to your father to marry you."

"However—"

"Whether he agrees or not is not something I can control."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu never expected Ian to agree so quickly—she thought she would definitely be rejected.

After all, he seemed so indifferent to women.

The warrior's ethereal purple eyes were full of disbelief in the words just now.

But she soon realized that this was a rare opportunity.

She shook her head and shouted:

"No way!"

"If Master is willing to marry me, I will persuade my father no matter what, even if I have to die!"

"Yorimitsu, you can't do this."

Ian reached out and gently stroked his apprentice's beautiful hair.

"It's very stupid to use other people's care to threaten them."

"And before that, let's kill the ghost that should be killed."

"Yes!"

[Minamoto no Yorimitsu began to prepare a plan to kill 'Nurikabe'.]

[As a commemorative of the meaning, she asked you not to give any guidance this time, and let her defeat this ghost by herself.]

[You agreed to this.]

[The warrior's dependence has been lost: you realize that Minamoto no Yorimitsu has grown much faster than you imagined, and she has her own ideas.]

[You are very happy about this.]

[Because getting rid of dependence on others is an inevitable way for an onmyoji to grow.]

[After all, it is impossible to have companions by your side all the time.]

"Nurikabe" is a ghost hidden in the wall.

Its main combat power is not too high, but it is better than being difficult to identify.

According to the conventional method of handling, it is generally to find a suspicious wall, and then use destructive tools to completely defeat it.

This will be an extremely chaotic process.

After all, "Nurikabe" cannot sit still and wait for death, and will definitely flee everywhere.

This is a very challenging exorcism for the onmyoji's level.

But Ian soon discovered that Minamoto no Yorimitsu did not intend to do so.

She chose to pour the talisman water into the paint used to renovate the wall, and then, under the pretext of repairing, make the walls in Kyoto unsuitable for "Nurikabe" to live on.

This is a more comprehensive way.

When the black shadow emerged from the wall, Minamoto no Yorimitsu showed a happy smile.

"Master, I did it."

"Yes, you did it."

The dead "Nurikabe" is not only the proof of the agreement between the two, but also the symbol of Minamoto no Yorimitsu's apprenticeship.

[Talent Minamoto Master has been lost: you are no longer Minamoto no Yorimitsu's master, but she still respects you very much.]

[Nurikabe was killed.]

[According to the agreement, it is time for you to propose to Minamoto no Mitsunaka to marry Minamoto no Yorimitsu.]

[You chose a good day.]

[You shaved your beard, tied up your hair, and tidied up your clothes to make yourself look as elegant as possible.]

[And although Minamoto no Yorimitsu said before that there is no need to worry, even if you fail, she will still try to fight for it.]

[But when it really comes to this time, she is a little nervous.]

"Master."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu nestled in Ian's arms, whispering softly.

"It's finally today."

"Yes, it's finally the day you've been looking forward to, Yorimitsu." Ian responded.

"Master—"

Minamoto no Yorimitsu grabbed the corner of Ian's clothes.

"Although I really hope to be married to you."

"But if my father intends to embarrass you, Master can also give up on the spot."

"It is enough for me to know that you once had the idea of marrying me."

"Yorimitsu, why do you think so?"

Ian rubbed her forehead with his hand, brushing away the princess hair on it.

"Then I have to tell you another rule."

"Onmyoji cannot have the idea of giving up, otherwise, they will be retaliated by the various karmas of the past."

"Yorimitsu, wait for my good news."

"…Okay."

[Under Minamoto no Yorimitsu's gaze, you entered Minamoto no Mitsunaka's room.]

[He was sitting cross-legged on the tatami, wiping the katana in his hand.]

[His expression was focused and serious, and the strength revealed between his eyebrows seemed to be competing with something.]

[This is the first time you have seen him like this.]

"Sir." Ian shouted.

"It's you."

Minamoto no Mitsunaka raised his head and then put the knife in his hand on the knife holder next to him.

"Sit down."

"Thank you, sir."

Ian chose a position that kept a certain distance from Minamoto no Mitsunaka.

This can not only show respect for him, but also clearly state his request.

Minamoto no Mitsunaka looked at Ian in front of him.

Although he is over half a hundred years old, the courage hidden in his eyes has not been reduced even half a point.

This is the style of a famous general engraved in his bones.

"Abe, what do you want from me?" he asked.

And Ian directly stated his thoughts.

"Sir."

"I want to marry Yorimitsu."

"..."

Minamoto no Mitsunaka stared at him and was silent for a long time before answering:

"Abe, do you know what you are talking about?"

"I know." Ian did not hesitate at all.

"But I just want to marry Yorimitsu."

[You thought that Minamoto no Mitsunaka would be furious after you said that.]

[After all, when he saw you holding Minamoto no Yorimitsu's hand, he almost pierced your head with a katana.]

[Now it's so calm, it seems a little strange.]

[You realize that there may be some hidden secrets behind this that you don't know.]

"Sure enough, it's this point."

Minamoto no Mitsunaka looked at the great onmyoji in front of him with a complicated expression.

"Yorimitsu took the initiative to ask you to marry her, right?"

"..."

Realizing that this was not something worth hiding, Ian nodded and then added:

"Although Yorimitsu took the initiative to mention it, I am also very happy to do so."

"So—"

"Sir, it's not that Yorimitsu lowered her status, but that I took the initiative to choose to climb high."

"Climb high?"

Minamoto no Mitsunaka shook his head.

"With what you have done in the past six months, it doesn't count as climbing high."

"I admit that you are indeed an excellent great onmyoji."

[Minamoto no Mitsunaka said these words with a very serious expression.]

[You realize that in the past six months, he has not been indulging you and Minamoto no Yorimitsu's contact, but just observing silently.]

[Just like what Minamoto no Yorimitsu said.]

[This father, although he looks very strict on the surface, is actually a good elder who cares about his daughter.]

[And everything you have done may have matched his wishes.]

"You flatter me, sir."

Ian remained modest.

"Since I am in this position, I must do my best for the Minamoto clan, otherwise I would be ashamed of this kindness."

"Heh."

Minamoto no Mitsunaka smiled.

"You really know how to say nice things."

"But speaking of this—"

Minamoto no Mitsunaka looked at the great onmyoji in front of him and became serious again.

"Abe, have you found the 'thought' that is entwined with the foundation of the Minamoto clan?"

"Not yet."

Ian expressed his progress very directly.

"Sir, to tell you the truth."

"The 'thoughts' in Kyoto are too chaotic. Even though I have spent half a year trying to sort out the clues, it is still very complicated."

"Is that so?"

Minamoto no Mitsunaka nodded.

"As expected."

"Then there are some things I should tell you in advance."

Saying this, the general looked at the katana holder next to him.

On it were two blades.

One was the katana he had just held in his hand, and the other was the blade that almost pierced Ian's eyeball last time.

"What do you think of these two blades?" Minamoto no Mitsunaka asked.

Hearing this question, Ian carefully looked at the two weapons.

Soon, he had an answer.

"They are both good katanas."

"Whether it is the quality of the materials used or the forging skills, they are all excellent."

"And if I'm not mistaken—"

Ian pointed to the longer one.

"It should be the elder brother, right?"

"..."

Minamoto no Mitsunaka looked at the other person with complicated eyes.

"Abe, how do you know?"

"By feeling." Ian answered the general's question truthfully, "That's my first impression of it."

"And I'm just telling the truth."

"..."

Minamoto no Mitsunaka frowned slightly, as if thinking about something.

After a long time, he took a long breath, as if accepting reality.

"As expected of Abe."

"You are so amazing no matter when."

[Minamoto no Mitsunaka's tone made you feel a little strange.]

[Whether it was before or now.]

[The surname Abe seems to have a special meaning to him.]

[You decided to ask further.]

"Sir."

Ian looked directly at the general in front of him.

"Is there anything special about the surname Abe?"

"Of course."

Minamoto no Mitsunaka looked at the two brother blades in front of him, as if recalling some memories.

"The names of these two blades are 'Higekiri' and 'Hizamaru', the blades I used during my conquest."

"And the person who gave them to me—"

Minamoto no Mitsunaka looked at Ian in front of him.

"Has the same surname as you."

"What?!"

Hearing this news, even Ian, who was calm, could not help but show a surprised expression.

"Then is he a blacksmith?"

"No." Minamoto no Mitsunaka shook his head.

"Like you, he is an onmyoji."

"..."

Although Ian was shocked, he soon realized a new problem.

"Then the current rumors in Kyoto are actually about him?"

If this is the case, it is no wonder that Minamoto no Mitsunaka had that attitude when he first met him.

"Perhaps."

Minamoto no Mitsunaka looked at "Higekiri" and "Hizamaru".

"But in terms of performance now, I think you deserve these rumors."

"Abe, I can see that Yorimitsu really likes you."

"So if you really want to marry her, I won't stop you."

"But—"

Minamoto no Mitsunaka moved his eyes away from the twin swords and looked at the great onmyoji in front of him.

"There are some things I have to tell you."

"Yorimitsu has a destiny on her body that I don't know."

"On the day she was born, the onmyoji with the same surname as you mentioned one thing to me."

"That is that Yorimitsu's destiny is closely related to the future of the Minamoto clan, and he only allowed me to keep one of them."

"And as the head of the Minamoto clan, I have no choice."

"I can only let Yorimitsu bear the destiny I don't know."

[You realize that this is the problem Minamoto no Mitsunaka once faced.]

[That is a multiple choice question with only one option.]

[As the head of the family, he naturally could not give up choosing the entire clan for the eldest daughter.]

[But he did not forget his father's identity.]

[The care for his daughter that was too harsh was actually a heartfelt worry.]

"Sir, then you may have forgotten one thing because you are too busy."

"What's the matter?"

"There is more than one powerful onmyoji."

Ian looked directly at Minamoto no Mitsunaka in front of him, as if he was the general who was high above at this moment.

"If he can do it, I can naturally do it."

"Since he made you have to choose the clan."

"Then, I will choose Yorimitsu for you."

"..."

If someone else said it, Minamoto no Mitsunaka would most likely think it was bragging.

But if it was this onmyoji with the surname "Abe", he would no longer think it was empty words.

After all, his daughter chose him.

And he does have the ability to match it.

"I understand."

"In that case, you can marry Yorimitsu as your wife."

Minamoto no Mitsunaka reached for the katana holder next to him.

"Yorimitsu loves martial arts."

"'Higekiri' and 'Hizamaru' will be my wedding gift."

"Thank you, sir."

"I will definitely protect Yorimitsu well."

[Minamoto no Mitsunaka approved your marriage to Minamoto no Yorimitsu.]

[As one of the top clans in Heian-kyo, your wedding was grand and lively.]

[Even three-year-old children remember Minamoto no Yorimitsu's shy appearance in your arms.]

[You became husband and wife in the blessings of the people of Kyoto.]

[After the hustle and bustle, you entered the same bedroom openly for the first time.]

[This is the wedding night that belongs only to you two.]

"Master."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu looked at Ian in front of her shyly.

"I didn't expect we could really get to this day."

"Yes."

Ian smiled slightly.

"So Yorimitsu, I want to write a few waka poems to record this day."

"Then I'll go prepare paper and pen now!" Minamoto no Yorimitsu replied immediately.

"Just prepare a pen."

Ian hugged Minamoto no Yorimitsu and pulled her into his arms.

"Because—"

"The paper I want is now in my arms."
