Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful scumbag.

Asuka Tendo was furious. She flung her hand away and said, "Damn it! I, Asuka Tendo, would rather freeze to death, die outside, or jump off the school building than wear this outfit of yours!"

"Oh, really~"

The fox curled its lips into a smile and pointed into the distance, towards the entrance to the playground.

There were faint beams of flashlight beams flickering erratically there.

"The commotion we just made seems to have exceeded the limits of your temporary barrier, so it attracted passersby..."

Asuka Tendo:!

"...Of course, if our genius beautiful Onmyoji thinks wearing a maid outfit is more shameful than being caught running naked on the playground, then I have no objection~"

Ah!

Really!

Dead fox! Stinky fox! Pervert!

Half a minute later, despite still cursing, Asuka Tendo changed into her maid outfit before the passersby arrived.

Hideyuki Hoshino turned around with a smile.

The blonde twin-tailed girl's already petite and adorable body was further enhanced by a mini-skirt maid outfit and black stockings, with a touch of shyness on her delicate little face as the perfect finishing touch...

And that's how the most classic strawberry milk chocolate mini cake was born!

At first glance, one can simultaneously appreciate both youthful innocence and maturity, cuteness and allure.

So good~

Even a seasoned fox can't help but want to prprpr after seeing this.

Asuka Tendo blushed and stamped her foot, saying, "No, don't look!"

"Mmm, I won't look."

Hideyuki Hoshino lowered his head and then took out his phone.

"And you absolutely can't take pictures!"

Tolerable or unbearable!

The girl got angry and opened her mouth wide, ready to repeat the classic move, and pounced on the fox again to bite it!

However, the same trick will not work on foxes.

Hoshino Hideyuki easily dodged the attack, then leaped onto the girl's back, hooking his claws around her swan-like, fair neck.

The girl reached behind her and grabbed, "Get off me right now!"

"you sure?"

While dodging the girl's hands, Hoshino Hideyuki grinned mischievously and said, "My transformation technique only lasts for twenty minutes. If I don't stay in contact with you, these clothes of yours will turn to stone very quickly~"

"Uh……"

"Or perhaps, you prefer to hug me rather than have me behind you? I wouldn't mind at all~"

As Hoshino Hideyuki spoke, he swung around Tendo Asuka's neck and landed in her arms in a flash.

Asuka Tendo instinctively wanted to throw the damned fox away, but the furry touch on her fingertips immediately stopped her.

Although I really don't want to admit it...

But this fox feels so comfortable to hug!

It's more comfortable than all the plush toys in my bedroom! Ah, the fur! That soft belly!

"Hey, wake up~"

Hoshino Hideyuki scratched the girl's chin with his paw and said, "It's time to go. Those people are coming. If you stay here any longer, you might have to write a report to the countermeasures office."

After saying that, he pointed with the tip of the fox's tail to the place where the battle had just taken place.

The once smooth plastic playground is now riddled with potholes and charred marks, looking as battered as a girl's underwear.

"Uh……"

Asuka Tendo bit her lip, knowing the fox was right, and immediately ran off, carrying the fox away from the playground.

So...

What was originally a tense and exciting combat training session, secretly conducted late at night between a terrifying A-rank monster and a genius elite from the Countermeasures Office, ended with the Countermeasures Office elite changing into a maid outfit and running away with a pink-haired dumpling.

Twenty minutes later.

The girl slipped away to a nearby shopping street, bought a new set of clothes, and then, together with the fox who had transformed back into human form, found a nearby coffee shop to rest for a while and catch her breath.

"Ugh, it's so bitter..."

After taking a sip of the coffee she had just ordered, the girl's mouth twisted into a grimace, and she immediately started frantically adding milk and sugar to it.

Then, out of the corner of her eye, she caught the fox's mocking smile across the table and said irritably, "Still laughing? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in such a sorry state. Now look what's happened, it's almost ten o'clock and I still haven't gone home. I haven't even finished my math homework..."

"I didn't mean to burn your clothes, it's just because your playing style is too aggressive."

After finishing speaking, Hoshino Hideyuki paused for two seconds, then suddenly said seriously:

"So, that trial was really important, wasn't it?"

The girl blinked and replied in a low voice, "Yes, I want to win no matter what, so..."

"So you'll be asking me for help again these next few days?" Hoshino Hideyuki raised his eyebrows and said sincerely, "No problem, I'm available whenever you need me~"

The girl's cheeks flushed again, and she whispered, "Thank you!"

"You're welcome. Well then, let's call it a day. I think that playground won't be needed anymore. Remember to let me know once you've chosen a new place."

Finally, I wish you a smooth trial!

After saying that, the fox stood up, patted Asuka Tendo's head, and walked out of the coffee shop.

Three or four seconds later, Asuka Tendo suddenly came to her senses.

That damn fox secretly touched this genius's head without permission! Damn it, getting your head touched by a monster will stunt your growth!

However... that feeling was actually quite comfortable...

Well, never mind, the fox helped me a lot this time, so I won't hold it against him!

After the trial is over, there's something else we should do to properly thank him...

Just then, the coffee shop owner walked over, bowed slightly, and said to the girl:

"Hello, guest..."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Ah, it's like this, our shop has actually been hiring waitresses who are willing to wear maid outfits recently, and the male customer who just left told me that your hobby is wearing maid outfits and that you're very interested in it..."

Asuka Tendo slammed her hand on the table, startling the shopkeeper, who exclaimed, "I'm not interested!"

That damned stinking fox!

Just you wait, after the trial, my strength will have increased dramatically, and I'll definitely beat you to a pulp! I'll lock you in a cage, and put socks over your mouth! Two layers!

at the same time.

Hundreds of meters away, Hoshino Hideyuki was unaware of the girl's embarrassment and anger.

He was striding around the shopping street with an air of indifference, looking for snacks to eat.

Just then, the phone rang.

"Moshi moshi, Kikuri-chan, what's up... Hmm, Yumiko called you... Huh? Cursed?"

Chapter 188 This sly fox loves to steal girls' snacks

The next day at 5 PM.

Hideyuki Hoshino and Kikuri Iji arrived at the Teru Teru Bozu exhibition hall.

At this time, since there was no performance and Sakai Yui had gone out to buy supplies, only two young female high school students who came to work were in the hall.

"Ah, Senior Tetsu is here too?"

Airi Yamada, who was wiping the counter, looked up and greeted, "Long time no see~"

It was clear she was trying her best to maintain her usual liveliness and enthusiasm, but her dark circles and tired tone betrayed her.

Hoshino Hideyuki grinned mischievously and winked: "So, Airi, you're cursed, huh~"

"Huh? This..."

Airi Yamada pouted, looked at Yumiko Hayami who was huddled under the counter beside her, and reached out her ruthless iron hand to pinch the latter's plump buttocks.

"oops!"

"Didn't I tell you? It's such a small thing, you don't need to tell others. It will only cause trouble for everyone."

"But...but Airi-chan hasn't slept for two days straight, has she?"

"It's just insomnia."

"This isn't just ordinary insomnia, it's more..."

Hayami Yumiko rubbed her bottom, peeked out from behind the counter, and recalled the strange behavior Hoshino Hideyuki had exhibited in the haunted exhibition hall when she first met him a few months ago. She whispered, "...And I feel like Tetsu-senpai can be of help."

"You're right, I do know some extraordinary people. Could you please pour me a Coke with ice?"

Hoshino Hideyuki walked to the counter with a smile, took the cola from Hayami Yumiko, and said to Yamada Airi, "Don't try to hide it anymore. Look at your eyes, they look like you're about to eat raw bamboo. Who can you fool? Even if Yumiko doesn't say anything, Kiku-chan will worry."

Iji Chikiku, standing to the side, nodded with her hands on her hips in agreement: "Tetsu is right!"

"Um, um... thank you, I won't do it again..."

Having said all that, Yamada Airi wisely accepted everyone's kindness.

Hoshino Hideyuki said, "Then tell me quickly, what exactly happened?"

"Um……"

Airi Yamada poured herself a glass of orange juice and began to explain the origin of the so-called curse.

Last week, a few of her close friends got together and said they wanted to go out and have some fun one last time before the pressure of senior year started and they hadn't fully hit the ground.
