Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful scumbag.

Half an hour later.

Unable to find any trace of Amamiya Yukiho, Sumi used her ten terrifyingly long legs to lead her men into a hole hidden in the yard of a nearby detached house. They then walked underground and returned to the shrine.

Hoshino Hideyuki naturally followed him inside, and then couldn't help but sigh.

Good guy.

This giant spider must have hollowed out the entire mountain. Could it be that she has a passion for civil engineering?

No, if you think about it carefully, this is very likely a mine shaft left over from the previous silver and copper mines, which the spiders expanded after occupying it.

Yes, that's most likely the case; otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to have such a scale.

At that moment, Shizuka Hanazawa found Hideyuki Hoshino, who was looking around aimlessly, and with sincere eyes, she bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Sada Kuni, thank you for your help earlier."

Hoshino Hideyuki laughed and replied, "Haha, I told you not to be so polite, it's all what I should do~"

Hanazawa Shizuka smiled, exchanged a few polite words, and then said, "By the way, Lord Sumi wants to see you. Please come with me."

So, Hoshino Hideyuki followed Hanazawa Shizuka to the main hall of the shrine and bowed deeply to the giant spider sitting on the throne.

"No need for formalities, you are a guest of the shop owner."

Sumire slowly said, "Let me tell you again, what is the purpose of your visit? Tell me the whole story."

Hoshino Hideyuki respectfully said, "Lord Sumi, as I said before, the boss heard that someone was plotting against you, so he specially sent me to help you."

"Aren't there any other conditions? I don't remember Ruyi Fangzhu being such a kind person."

"Yes, there are, but... it's better to discuss those matters with you personally later," Hoshino Hideyuki said with a smile. "As for me, I'm just here to help out, nothing more."

"Ha, how slick... But I'll accept your kindness."

Suga nods his head thoughtfully and asks again:

"So, what specific help can you offer? Did the brothel owner give you any instructions?"

"If we're talking about combat strength, forgive my bluntness, but while you're not bad, you're not much of a threat against a god."

What does it mean to be ineffective?

I'm the one who saved your men! You've already forgotten about it, haven't you? I suggest you buy some fish oil and take it! (Ad space for rent, serious face)

I strongly suspect you're using PUA tactics on me!

Despite his inner thoughts, Hoshino Hideyuki looked up at the spider with a sincere expression and said, "What you say is true, sir. Only you can subdue that evil god here. I really cannot help."

"However, I can provide you with some information to help you achieve victory more quickly."

Sumi nods and says, "Go on."

"I know Yukiho Amamiya's true identity."

Hoshino Hideyuki said in a deep voice:

"She is the new Inari Goddess after the spiritual energy revival!"

"The reason she came to cause trouble for you is because you demolished her shrine and took away her divine body, so she wants to take revenge on you and snatch the divine body back."

After rambling on and on, Hoshino Hideyuki revealed a lot of information about Amamiya Yukiho. Although it was mostly irrelevant except for her identity, Sumi nods in agreement as she listened.

Finally, one must see the truth:

"Your information is very valuable. You truly deserve to be a capable lieutenant under Master Ruyi Fang!"

"Your Excellency, you have given me a reward."

"No need to be modest..."

The giant spider swayed its body and then said, "I will devise a plan to deal with Amamiya Yukiho later. Would you like to participate?"

"My lord, I crave battle!"

“Very well… Well then, Sata Kuni, you can rest here as my guest for now…”

Hoshino Hideyuki nodded in agreement, and after casually complimenting the giant spider a few more times, he was led away by the two spider leaders guarding the door.

Inside the shrine, only Shizuka Hanazawa and Satoshi Sasaki remained.

After hesitating for a moment, Shizuka Hanazawa kowtowed first and said, "Congratulations, sir, on obtaining important information! Now, that Yukiho Amamiya is no longer a threat!"

Stupid woman!

Satoshi Satoshi glanced at Hanazawa beside him, cursing inwardly:

Are the gifts from Ruyi Fangzhu so easy to obtain?

Besides, Kenichi Kitagawa is still in their hands, so what's there to congratulate him on!

"grown ups!"

But since the other party had knelt, he couldn't remain silent, so he quickly knelt down as well and said, "Master Ruyifang is capricious, and his subordinate Sada Kuni is even less trustworthy. For our next plan, why don't we let him charge into battle and test him again..."

"Um……"

Sumi curled up his spider legs and fell into deep thought, while Hanazawa and Sasaki below, seeing this, dared not move and remained kneeling...

at the same time.

Led by two soldiers, Hoshino Hideyuki arrived at a bedroom in a side hall near the shrine.

He took a closer look and couldn't help but want to laugh.

This place, from its decor to its bedding, is exactly the same as the hot spring inn; it's as if they've transplanted everything from there.

Well, even after changing my identity, the accommodation conditions are still exactly the same.

I feel like I wasted my time changing it.

"Mr. Sada Kununi."

At this moment, a spider-headed creature said to him, "Please rest here. If you need anything, please feel free to call us."

After saying that, he and his companion stood guard at the door.

Hoshino Hideyuki knew that these two people, who seemed to be his servants, were actually monitoring him.

only……

Do they have that capability?

Hoshino Hideyuki smirked, plucked two strands of hair, summoned a powerful warrior, and then swiftly transformed them into flies.

Although these powerful flies only have twenty minutes of activity time, several relays are enough to explore the entire cave...

Outside.

"Hey? Did you hear anything?"

The cautious spider rubbed its chelicerae, sensing the vibrations in the air with its bristles, and said to its companion.

His companion shook his head: "No."

"No, I clearly heard it..."

The cautious spider-head held its breath, following the faint sound, lowering its head, lowering its head, feeling itself getting closer and closer to the truth, and then...

puff!

He just happened to eat one of his companion's farts!

"You! Ugh! You stink!"

"I'm sorry, but this is so embarrassing, how could I possibly say it out loud..."

puff puff!

"Why did you come here again!"

"Once it starts, you can't help it..."

Amidst his companions' apologies, the cautious spider-head was knocked unconscious by the stench and could not rise again.

He deeply regretted his meddling and decided to mend his ways and never pay attention to the noise again!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the tiny fly foxes all slipped away...

In the time that followed.

Hoshino Hideyuki relied on his warriors taking turns going out to gather intelligence.

He soon discovered something interesting...

such as,

In a corner far away from Sumi, those spider heads would gather to slack off, drink, play cards, and even discuss whether staying up too late would cause the hairs on their limbs to fall out completely.

The fox's assessment of this was:

What the heck? Spiders worry about hair loss? Don't be so realistic!

For example,

In some places, foxes can see huge spider webs that seem to burrow through the soil like plant roots, intertwining and forming a large ball in the burrow.

It strangely looks a bit like cotton candy, oh my, it's making my mouth water...

cough cough.

Thinking about it carefully, this must be some kind of node in the spider web barrier outside, right?

Hideyuki Hoshino noted down these locations, but dared not make any rash moves.

For example,

Behind the shrine, he found a row of small caves that had been deliberately dug out, with iron bars at the entrances, and inside were one disheveled human after another.

The fox immediately realized that these humans...

They are most likely villagers from Musashi Village!

Okay, I take that back.

This is not interesting at all.
