Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful scumbag.

"I'm sorry, I misspoke. Please stop calling me... Let's get down to business!"

The fox smiled with satisfaction.

These kinds of girls are more fun.

It's much more fun than the Thousand-Year-Old Cat Demon and the Eight-Tailed Reincarnation!

Then, he and the girl crouched down in the shadows of the stairs to discuss how to catch the raccoon dog.

Chapter 101 The fox gave the raccoon a thumbs down.

"I found the raccoon this morning."

Asuka Tendo spoke first:

"He tried to cause trouble while everyone was still preparing the venue. Fortunately, his transformation technique was far inferior to yours and had many flaws, so I stopped him in time."

"But he runs very fast, and every time he escapes, he blends into the crowd and creates chaos, such as blowing a gust of wind to lift people's skirts, or splashing water on people's heads like just now."

"This greatly limits my ability to use magic—I still really like this school and don't want to reveal my identity in front of everyone, you know what I mean?"

Hoshino Hideyuki nodded: "I understand. It's the same principle as if you can't hold it in during class and it comes out—your high school life is ruined!"

"That's completely different from the logic!"

The girl suppressed the urge to hit the fox and concluded:

"Anyway, that's why I haven't been able to catch him, and things have gotten stuck here."

"Do you have any good ideas?"

Hoshino Hideyuki's eyes darted around.

"So, the key is to get him away from the crowd, right?"

"Yes!"

The girl nodded and said, "As long as there is no one else around, when I use my magic, how could a mere raccoon be a match for this genius!"

"That's easy then~"

Hoshino Hideyuki's lips curled into a smile, and then his body began to change shape.

A few seconds later, the handsome young man transformed into a pink-furred raccoon dog.

"I'll lure him out, that'll do!"

Tendo Asuka raised her eyebrows.

This raccoon...

I kind of want to touch it...

Hoshino Hideyuki tilted his head: "Why aren't you answering?"

"Ahem, good plan!"

Asuka Tendo's face flushed a little more—at this rate, she'd eventually turn the same color as Unit-02 in EVA.

She stood up and pointed to the southeast corner of the school, saying:

"There's a storage warehouse over there, but nobody's around at this hour. Why don't you lure the tanuki there?"

"No problem~"

As she spoke, the girl suddenly frowned slightly, pressed down on her skirt, and said, "Speaking of which, at your height... you're not peeking at something again, are you?"

"Huh? Peeking?"

Hoshino Hideyuki stared with innocent-looking eyes and said, "I'm perfectly aboveboard, aren't I?"

"Get lost, you stinking fox!"

Five minutes passed.

Dongling High School, behind the gymnasium.

The yellow-eyed tanuki emerged from the pile of volleyballs, looked around to make sure it was safe, and proudly raised its manhood in the sunlight (in Japanese legends, tanuki monsters have very large penises, which can not only be used to store magic power, but also to lift their heads to shield from the wind and rain, and to carry people across rivers).

He chuckled maliciously, "Hehehe, you foolish Onmyoji, you'll never catch me!"

"Where should we go next to cause trouble?"

"Why don't we choose a haunted house? There are real ghosts in a haunted house, that'll definitely scare these nasty humans!"

Just as the raccoon was talking to itself, another little furry ball suddenly rolled out of the bushes and waved at it:

"Big brother! Big brother, I've finally found you!"

The yellow-eyed raccoon turned its head and was surprised to find that it was actually a slightly smaller pink raccoon.

Why is it this color?

It fell into the paint bucket?

"Where...are you from?"

The pink-haired tanuki, or rather, Hoshino Hideyuki, quickly stopped and bowed in a mock manner, saying, "Hello, big brother, my name is Hayato Daikichi, and I'm a tanuki who lives nearby!"

The yellow-rimmed raccoon squinted: "Then how come I've never seen you before?"

Hideyuki Hoshino lowered his head and said shyly:

"Because I'm a newcomer here... My original home was taken over by humans for real estate development, so I ended up in this area... And because there's an Onmyoji at the school, I'm too scared to show my face, so I haven't really interacted with my fellow Onmyoji around here..."

The yellow-eyed raccoon smacked its lips, seemingly unconcerned.

In fact, he had only been here for a short time, so it was normal that he didn't recognize the local raccoon dogs.

He then asked, "Why do you call me 'Big Brother'?"

"Because I just saw you make fun of that despicable Onmyoji!"

Hoshino Hideyuki said with an admiring look:

"Brother, you have no idea. Because of that Onmyoji, I've had a really miserable month."

"Because I was afraid of being captured by that Onmyoji and turned into a wool vest, I didn't dare go to the cafeteria or rummage through the trash cans. I could only make a living by stealing energy drinks from the basketball court—because she looked like she couldn't play basketball."

"I thought I could only continue living like this, but who knew that you would appear today, brother, and give me a glimmer of hope!"

"You're amazing! You made it impossible for that Onmyoji to catch you, and you even made a bunch of humans look disheveled. You're a genius! You're the Oda Nobunaga of the tanuki world!"

"That's why I want to come and seek refuge with you, brother, please take me in!"

The yellow-rimmed raccoon stroked its whiskers.

Hehehe, Oda Nobunaga from Tanuki? Hehehe, that sounds so nice...

"Alright, then I'll accept you!"

The yellow-eyed raccoon patted its belly and said decisively, "My name is Yamashita Uemon, and from today onwards, I'll be your protector!"

"Waaaah! Thank you so much, big brother!"

Yamashita Uemon nodded with obvious satisfaction, then said seriously, "Speaking of which, you've been dealing with that Onmyoji for a month now, haven't you?"

"Yes, yes, but my transformation skills are terrible. I can only transform into a mouse and scurry around in the drainage ditch..."

"It's okay, just tell me everything you know!"

Yamashita Uemon looked at the people enjoying the cultural festival not far away and said, "I'm too lazy to keep doing small-scale things. I need to find an opportunity to give these humans a big one!"

"Big, very big!"

Hoshino Hideyuki jumped up excitedly, and after a while, he suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Brother Yamashita, I've got it! There's a huge pile of fireworks in the warehouse nearby!"

"fireworks?"

"That's right, it should be used by humans on the last day of the cultural festival."

"Hehehe, fireworks are great! As soon as they're lit, they'll scare humans into running around in all directions!"

Yamashita Eemon exclaimed happily, "It's decided then! Hayato, take me there now!"

Ever since.

Two raccoon dogs, one big and one small, looked like two tumbleweeds, and excitedly headed towards the storage warehouse.

On the way, Yamashita Uemon kept boasting about his past experiences.

Things like sprinkling itching powder and then stealing an old man's back scratcher, urinating on the drinking fountain in the park and then tricking people into drinking from it, or secretly spitting on the communal plates while eating conveyor belt sushi...

He spoke with a smug look on his face:

"How about that? Am I bad enough? Am I qualified to be a great monster?"

Hoshino Hideyuki found it unbearable to listen to.

Dude, the one in front of you was somewhat interesting, but the two behind you were just rude, weren't they?

That's so low-class, I'm going to give you a thumbs down.

Of course, as the younger brother, he still dutifully praised Tanuki and planned to go back and ask Asuka Tendo for compensation for his work injury.

Soon, the two raccoons arrived at the warehouse.

Where are the fireworks?

Yamashita Uemon frantically searched everywhere, but found nothing, only hearing a sound...

when!

Looking back, a blonde girl with twin ponytails opened the warehouse door.

"Hmph, let's see where you run this time!"
