Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful scumbag.

Asuka Tendo tossed her head, whipping her twin tails like whips, making a whooshing sound as she lashed out at the fox's head.

"That's not the reason!"

"Speaking of which, aren't you ashamed after doing something bad? Apologize to me!"

Hoshino Hideyuki dodged left and right, avoiding the ponytail completely, while retorting verbally, "No way~"

After a few rounds.

Both sides were exhausted once again.

Asuka Tendo caught her breath, pursed her lips, and explained, "There won't be any tentacle demons in the trials, so there's no need for targeted training. Otherwise, if we had to train with every demon, how could we possibly finish?"

"Besides, there's not much time left today, and there's one last thing I want to practice..."

Hoshino Hideyuki asked, "What is it?"

"Fox demon."

The girl straightened up and said seriously, "I want to fight you when you go all out."

Hoshino Hideyuki raised an eyebrow: "Hmm?"

"Well, I know, I'm probably no match for you right now..."

The girl scratched her head, pouted, and reluctantly said those words.

"But I still want to see just how big the gap really is."

"So, Fox, I'm not joking. Please give it your all and fight me!"

Hoshino Hideyuki saw the determination in the girl's eyes, and after a moment of silence, he nodded.

Then, he summoned the strongman and possessed him.

The warrior's body rapidly expanded, transforming within seconds into a giant over ten meters tall, clad in full armor. His left hand gripped a ring-pommel sword, its blade crackling with blue flames, while his right arm was entwined with two long snakes that had transformed into other warriors, hissing and flicking their tongues—a truly terrifying sight.

The girl's mouth was half open. After a few seconds of stunned silence, the corners of her mouth curled up, and a fighting spirit ignited in her eyes.

"It can actually become this exaggerated... But this genius won't be easily intimidated!"

Before she finished speaking, golden light flashed across her body, as if she had hit three five-star cards in ten consecutive times. With a "poof," a blue demon and a giant wolf appeared beside her and charged towards Hoshino Hideyuki together.

Pretty impressive!

Hoshino Hideyuki nodded slightly, raised his broadsword, and charged forward!

then……

The first slash sent the girl's blue demon away, and the second slash sent the giant wolf away.

Clearly, Asuka's shikigami are no longer able to pose a threat to Hoshino Hideyuki.

The girl herself was able to use her agile skills and her golden body magic, which seemed to be a descent of a celestial being who had drunk a potion to become a woman, to entangle with Hoshino Hideyuki. From time to time, she could also use talismans in combination with exquisite fighting techniques to break the giant's legs or blast open the raging wall of fire.

But that's all there is to it.

With the level 3 Hairy Warrior and the level 4 Seventy-Two Transformations, even if a giant is broken in two or even scattered by a battle, Hoshino Hideyuki can always conjure up another one.

Even the level 4 Heart Moonfire was enough to harm the girl through her golden body, forcing her to wander around. Even if she succeeded in one move, she dared not expand her gains, for fear of being surrounded by flames.

In addition, the level 4 Fox Fairy Technique, which is fast, efficient, and economical, brought Hoshino Hideyuki far more demonic power than before, so he didn't have to worry about exhausting himself before the girl...

At this point, the fox was completely certain.

Putting aside the pre-arranged barriers or other tricks used by Onmyoji, in a direct confrontation, he was already able to easily suppress Asuka Tendo.

Hmph, that fox is really awesome!

Ah, they're friends after all, it's not really appropriate to laugh out loud...

Hideyuki Hoshino suppressed a smile.

Objectively speaking, Asuka Tendo's performance has improved significantly. With her current strength, she could at least draw against the Book Spirit from the Host Club incident, even if she couldn't win.

Unfortunately, the fox progressed too quickly. While others were still struggling to get through traffic, he was already speeding along the wide sidewalk for two miles while shouting, "I don't eat beef!"

So now...

The fox took a deep breath and, out of respect for his friend, decided to end the duel cleanly and decisively.

He still has his own "viewing flowers in a mirror" technique to rely on.

If we use this, maybe we can finish the battle in a minute?

"Be careful!"

Hoshino Hideyuki let out a low shout and released an illusion technique, while the girl was also dizzy at the same time, foolishly crawling towards Hoshino Hideyuki's sword.

It's now!

Hoshino Hideyuki aimed at the girl's shoulder and slashed hard!

Then I missed.

huh?

It turned out that in that crucial moment, Asuka Tendo suddenly came to her senses, released the giant wolf under her feet again, and used the collision rules of Earth Online's physics engine to lift herself into the air and dodge the attack!

...Of course, the poor giant wolf was also stabbed again as a result, but there was nothing that could be done about it; no one would care about an ordinary dog.

In any case, the girl gained a rare break!

She gritted her teeth, used her inch-and-spot technique, grazed the Heart Moonfire on the blade, forced her to turn around, clenched her right fist, gathered all her strength, and punched Hoshino Hideyuki in the cheek!

"You damned fox, this is the moment I've been waiting for!"

Asuka Tendo has always been a good child who admits her mistakes and corrects them.

Therefore, even after the Kayaba Nobuyuki incident, knowing that the fox had lied to her about her low resistance to illusions, she still took it as a warning and specifically trained in techniques to counter illusions.

Having persevered to this day, while I may not be immune, it's still possible to maintain a minimum level of clarity during Qingming Festival.

It was precisely because of this that she was able to pretend to be dizzy and disoriented to deceive the fox, and then launch her ultimate move when the fox was off guard!

"what!"

In an instant, her fist slammed into the giant's face, and the spiritual power she had gathered erupted out, blasting away most of the giant's head with a loud bang!

however……

That was ultimately just a powerful warrior summoned by the fox.

The moment the giant fell, Hoshino Hideyuki transformed into his fox form and leaped out, taking out the Wind and Thunder Fan from his tail and slapping it at the girl!

With a whoosh, a gust of wind blew the girl about ten meters away, and she fell to the ground, exhausted and unable to get up again.

However, she still forced herself to raise her head, stretched out a hand, gave the fox a thumbs-up, and smiled:

"You sly fox, how was my move?"

As a genius, it doesn't matter if you fail. As long as you do your best to surpass yourself, you should laugh heartily!

This is the motto of the beautiful female Onmyoji, Asuka Tendo!

Well, very energetic!

Hideyuki Hoshino readily gave him a thumbs up.

But then he noticed something else, and said with a wry smile, "Well, I admit, that was a really clever move of yours, it really startled me, but..."

The girl pouted: "But what?"

"You just concentrated all your power into your fist, which weakened your body's defenses, and then my flames grazed you, so... well, I'll just say it bluntly, girl, your clothes are burned off~"

Tendo Asuka:?

The girl looked down, and then...

"what!!!"

...and then she screamed.

Chapter 187 The fox wants to see the girl in a maid outfit

In an instant, the girl's scream echoed across the playground.

As the fox had said, because the protection hadn't been strong enough, most of her school uniform had been burned away by the Heart Moon Fire, and with the final howl of wind and thunder, the few remaining pieces of fabric disappeared into the horizon.

In short, she's now down to just a set of underwear—and even that's battle-damaged.

"You filthy fox! Pervert! Don't look this way! Waaaaah, this is so embarrassing..."

Asuka Tendo's face instantly turned as red as a monkey's bottom. She quickly squatted down, hugged her knees, and tried her best to curl herself into a ball while shouting at the fox.

Hideyuki Hoshino turned around very gentlemanly—mainly because he had already finished reading it once, and continuing to read it would feel rather dull.

The pure white ominous sign paired with bear panties makes you look like a primary school student at first glance. Especially the ominous sign, it really has almost no curves at all. It feels like its only value is to distinguish the front and back of a human body.

This is in stark contrast to Ms. Aoyama, who is often seen with young girls...

"You...you dead fox, that..."

Just then, the girl's voice came again, but her tone changed from shock and anger to embarrassment and annoyance.

"...Could you please go to a nearby store and buy me an outfit?"

Hoshino Hideyuki shrugged, picked up a rock that had been knocked out of the ground by the earlier battle, and tossed it behind him, saying:

"No need for that trouble, I'll just change it for you."

Asuka Tendo looked up and saw that the stone was getting bigger and thinner as it flew toward her, eventually turning into a black and white outfit.

"Thank you, thank you..."

The girl took the clothes and was about to put them on when she suddenly stopped.

"W-Why is it a maid outfit?!"

Hoshino Hideyuki shook his head and said, "What are you fussing about at a time like this? Just wear it!"

Even her socks are black stockings!

"Snow-white calves wrapped in black stockings—this is a classic milk chocolate combination, so fashionable!"

"You just want to see it, don't you!"
