Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful scumbag.

After Asuka Tendo finished speaking, she suddenly narrowed her eyes, looked Hoshino Hideyuki up and down, and put her hands on her hips, saying, "You're deliberately making such an exaggerated gesture, you must be trying to trick me again, right?"

"Ha, ridiculous, naive, innocent, I won't fall for your tricks!"

"Go ahead and cut it if you want, you don't need to ask me!"

Seeing that Asuka Tendo had said this, Hideyuki Hoshino's expression remained unchanged, and he continued in a deep voice, "Thank you for your permission, Lady Tendo!"

Then he lifted his shirt, picked up the knife, and was about to stab himself in the stomach!

Under the moonlight, the glint of the blade was chilling, making Asuka Tendo's eyelids twitch.

This knife...

It looks like a real knife...

No, fox, are you really going to commit seppuku?

You...you're not under some kind of curse that makes you do stupid things, are you?

"and many more!"

Just as the blade was about to slice through Hoshino Hideyuki's stomach, Tendo Asuka suddenly reached out her right hand, her index finger and thumb precisely pinching the blade, and then...

With a snap, the blade was crushed.

"what?"

The next second, the sharp samurai sword turned into a long sugarcane, with a hole at the tip that the girl had poked out.

Meanwhile, Hoshino Hideyuki took the opportunity to transform back into a fox, used the hole to break the sugarcane in two, stuffed the shorter piece into his mouth, and began to chew it with smacking sounds.

"Mmm, it tastes good~"

Tendo Asuka:?

"You cunning fox, you lied to me again! And you even took advantage of my concern for you!"

The girl stomped her feet in anger, and with a few thuds, the force she used subconsciously cracked the ground!

"Hey, calm down, calm down! Don't damage public facilities!"

The fox waved its paw and said, "Take another look!"

What are we looking back at?

Your scam is even divided into two parts?

Asuka Tendo glared at the fox with annoyance, but still turned around. She was surprised to find that a set of table and chairs had appeared behind her, and on the table was a large plate of the latest fresh fruit pudding from Suiseiseki and Souseiseki.

The girl hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward, picked up the spoon beside her, and took a bite...

So sweet!

It's real pudding, not made of stone or sand!

She frowned, turned to the fox, and asked, "What does this mean?"

"It means... cough, sorry."

The fox wagged its tail: "After all, I was indeed more than half an hour late, so I thought I'd buy some desserts to make up for it. By the way, how's their new product? Is it to your liking?"

"..."

Asuka Tendo paused for two seconds, then smirked and put her hands on her hips again.

hum!

Finally, I see you bow your head!

Great, today's trip was worthwhile!

Although it was just an apology... it was still a huge victory for this genius! A great turning point in a long war!

By taking small steps each day, I'll eventually be able to lock you in a cage and make you obediently wash my socks!

After leisurely taking another bite of pudding, she raised her chin, raised her voice, and stared at the fox with her nostrils flared:

"This taste... well, not bad, I'll forgive you for now."

"Huh? It's not bad? New products are definitely a bit aggressive. I won't buy it when I get back..."

"?"

What do you mean? Wait a minute, you sly fox, are you using me as a guinea pig?!

The girl stammered for a moment, then realized something was wrong and suddenly kicked her leg...

"Crack!"

"Hey, hey, hey, here we go again! You're biting my ear instead of the pudding! Let go of me, or I'll bite you back!"

After a long commotion, the man and the fox were both exhausted and sat facing each other on the playground.

"Let's get down to business."

Hoshino Hideyuki wiped the drool from the tip of the girl's ear with his paw and spoke first: "What do you want from me?"

Asuka Tendo cleared her throat and said:

"First of all, you haven't practiced fighting with me in a long time. Shouldn't you get back to it?"

Hideyuki Hoshino nodded. That's true.

"And then, um, I also hope you can practice some things with me..."

"Oh?"

Hoshino Hideyuki raised an eyebrow and asked, "What kind of training?"

"Next month, our Tendo family has a Tono Trial." The girl scratched her head and said, "It's hard to explain the specifics to you, but it's a very important trial for me."

"Logically, in preparation for war, I should be doing a lot of targeted combat training, but everyone in the countermeasures office is very busy, and the family..."

At this point, the girl's voice grew softer and softer.

Hoshino Hideyuki recalled the conversation between the girl and Tsuyoshi Tendo on the Mengbo.

Tsk tsk, it seems the little girl doesn't have a very good relationship with her family.

This kind of girl who lacks family love is exactly the kind of girl I, the fox, should help!

"Then, leave it to me!"

"Huh? Th-thank you! But..." Asuka Tendo blinked, "I haven't said what specific training is needed yet..."

“That’s not important. You’ve helped me so much before, so I should repay you somehow.” Hoshino Hideyuki waved his hand and said, “Besides, I believe you won’t make any unreasonable demands.”

The girl pursed her lips and tentatively asked, "Then... if the training session includes washing my socks... would that be too much?"

"No way! Oh dear, you little girl have really gone bad, betraying my trust, Fox! I'm going to turn those dog poop balls into dried plums and put them in your daily meals..."

"Ah, no! I was just kidding!"

The girl quickly shook her head, her golden twin tails fluttering in the night sky.

Then, she took out a picture book and showed it to Hoshino Hideyuki:

"This is what the actual sparring session entails."

"Because during the formal trial, I may face many different monsters, I would like to ask you to use your transformation technique to transform into these monsters and fight me..."

"Like a skeletal monster, a giant centipede, or something like that..."

Chapter 186 Fox: Oh no, I've ripped the little girl's clothes off!

Wild Skeleton...

As Hoshino Hideyuki looked at the picture book, a thought flashed through his mind, and he transformed into a ten-meter-tall giant skeleton monster with only its upper body.

Giant centipede...

He muttered to himself, and the skull turned around, transforming back into a flying centipede of roughly the same size.

"Do you mean this kind of thing?"

"That's right!"

Asuka Tendo clenched her little fist excitedly.

It's so lifelike! The fox looks exactly like it! It's like ginger cosplaying as a chicken leg—exactly the same!

Even if we can't replicate the unique abilities of all the monsters, their appearance alone is enough!

She was right to ask the fox for help!

"Wait a minute. To avoid making too much noise and being seen, I need to set up a concealment barrier around us. Then we can officially begin our training!"

So, for the next hour...

Hoshino Hideyuki transformed into a giant centipede, a skeletal creature, and a tengu (this one looked the most convincing), and fought against Tendo Asuka in turn. The battle was fierce, with booming sounds and golden light flying everywhere.

The girl was covered in sweat and panting heavily, but the corners of her mouth were turning up more and more, showing that she was very satisfied with the results of the training.

The fox was equally satisfied.

Before each transformation, the girl would explain the characteristics of different monsters to him in detail to help him become more like one.

After listening to these explanations, not to mention things like the Wild Skeleton and the Giant Centipede that he had never seen before, he even gained a new understanding of the Tengu that he had seen before.

In this way, the training is not just for young girls, but also for foxes. If he encounters similar monsters in the future, he will be able to deal with them with ease.

"Phew, let's see what should change next..."

During a break, Hideyuki Hoshino picked up Asuka Tendo's picture book and turned to the next page.

"A tentacle demon... Huh? This kind of demon actually exists? Great, I'll transform into this one!"

"and many more!"

Asuka Tendo quickly replied, "That's unnecessary!"

"Why?" Hoshino Hideyuki exclaimed, wide-eyed. "Hey, hey, hey, how can a genius, beautiful female onmyoji refuse a test?"

"Could it be that you're afraid I'll grab your ankles with my tentacles and lift you up, exposing your underwear? Don't worry, I don't need to do that to see everything already."

PiaPia!
