Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful scumbag.

Tell me about it so I can see it too!

With a snap of his fingers, the Heart Moonfire erupted forth, and at the same time, the level 4 Mirror Viewing Flower skill quietly activated.

The mohawk-haired man and the tall, thin man had just tried to resist, but before they could even take a step, they were surrounded by the Heart Moon Fire and hypnotized, causing them to drowsily lower their heads.

Hilarious! You want to hit me again? If Grandpa Fox really makes a move, how will you have a chance to fight back?

Hoshino Hideyuki pursed his lips and was about to step forward when he noticed that the two men's bodies were unnaturally swollen. He subconsciously took two steps back and shielded the strongman beside him in front of him.

boom!

Immediately following a loud bang, the mohawk-haired man and the tall, thin man's bodies exploded into pieces, the flying flesh falling into the Heart Moon Fire and instantly being roasted into charcoal.

Hideyuki Hoshino paused for a moment.

I go.

Hypnotized and then self-destructing? That's ruthless.

The guy worth interrogating is dead. Hoshino Hideyuki scratched his head, then glanced at the trembling police officers and con artists around him, their faces splattered with blood, before turning around and doing another mirror-viewing exercise:

"You all go and wait patiently by the wall nearby. I'll talk to you later."

After saying that, he turned around, took out a steamed bun that was worth ten times the amount of money, broke off a bite, and handed it to the Onmyoji of the Tiantong family who was spitting blood.

"Eat it, it will help you control your injuries. Don't worry, I mean no harm this time."

The narrow-eyed Onmyoji hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, and seemed to have made up his mind. Instead of taking the fox's bun, he spoke urgently:

"What I am doesn't matter, do you have your phone? Lend it to me! I need to do something urgently... Ah! Ahhh!"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly began to tremble all over, and the amount of blood he vomited increased dramatically, instantly staining the ground red.

Hoshino Hideyuki's eyes widened, and he quickly squatted down, grasped the man's hand, and tried to help in some way.

But then...

call!

Suddenly, a black hole burst forth from the heart of the narrow-eyed Onmyoji, sucking in his body and the surrounding air. The fox, in its attempt to save him, was caught off guard and too close to resist.

"Aminos!"

After a shout, Hoshino Hideyuki was also sucked into the black hole.

In the blink of an eye, all that remained was a bare concrete floor and behind the wall, police officers and criminals who were so shocked their hearts were about to jump out of their mouths.

I do not know how long it has been.

Hideyuki Hoshino opened his eyes again.

He found himself in a cave, with a narrow-eyed Onmyoji lying at his feet—a man with a large, empty hole in his chest, who had won first place in an Abe Shinzo cosplay contest and was clearly dead.

Looking up out of the cave, there was a dense forest, filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, quite beautiful.

The issue is……

In my memory, Tokyo in early February was a time when winter had just ended and spring had not yet arrived. I don't think there would be any flowers blooming.

Hoshino Hideyuki glanced back at the corpse of the Onmyoji on the ground, his eyes widening in annoyance...

"Where have you been? Is this still China?!"

at the same time.

Inside a hot pot restaurant in Tokyo.

"Didn't you say the mission would be over soon?"

Ijichi Kikuri pouted, clearly unhappy with Hoshino Hideyuki's lateness, but there was nothing she could do but wait.

Half an hour later, she couldn't stand it anymore and called to urge them on, only to be told that there was no signal and the dialed number was not in service area, etc.

ha?

Where did the fox go? Or did it lose its phone?

Trusting in the fox's abilities, Ichikiku sighed softly and chose to continue waiting.

Two more hours passed, and the waiters around her were looking at her with pity. Finally, she couldn't wait any longer.

I got up, paid the bill, and went out.

Then I fell into confusion.

Kikumi Iji paced back and forth on the street, thinking that this shouldn't be the case. Even if she lost her phone, it wouldn't stop the fox from simply finding someone on the street to borrow a phone to let her know she was safe.

Fox isn't usually the type to disappear without a trace. If he has a really important mission and needs to go out, he'll let you know in advance, unless... he's in trouble!

Instantly, Ichikikuchi perked up.

But then, she started pulling at her hair in distress.

Even if the fox really ran into trouble, she... she couldn't seem to help much—she couldn't even find anyone to help her!

No!

Iji Chikiku, Iji Chikiku, you can't give up so easily!

After taking a few deep breaths, Kikuchi Iji returned home, determined to look for clues.

Soon, she discovered the stack of documents that Inuyama Tetsu had given to the fox.

These must be the tasks the fox said he was going to do today.

After noting down the address, Kikumi Ichichi left without saying a word.

An hour passed.

Inside the hideout of con artists Kato and Kobayashi.

After Hoshino Hideyuki disappeared, Kato, Kobayashi, and the police stood at the construction site for several tens of minutes until the hypnosis wore off naturally, and they regained their freedom.

By this time, the police officers had lost interest in arresting anyone, and Kato and Kobayashi took the opportunity to slip away, running back to the rented house that had been their temporary base with mixed feelings.

At this moment, Kato suddenly spoke:

“I said, how about we just quit this life? Go work at a convenience store, or go make adult films or something.”

Kobayashi hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Having witnessed everything that had happened, he felt that the world was far crazier than he had imagined. His life was more important; he'd better stay away from those dangerous areas…

Why not go shoot a duo action movie? It's tiring, but it's safe and can help build willpower.

Bang bang bang!

Just as they were chatting, there was a knock on the door.

Kato leaned closer to take a look.

Outside stood a tall, red-haired beauty!

He was a little puzzled and asked through the door, "Who are you?"

Behind the door, Ichikiku said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, I'm a little anxious right now and don't want to explain further. Please move away from the door."

Before he could finish speaking, Kato heard a metallic twisting sound. Looking down, he saw that his door lock was spinning like a Pennsylvania can after drinking raw cola.

what?

This woman is... she's trying to twist open a security door with her bare hands?!

God!

ten minutes later.

Ichiki easily learned everything she wanted to know.

A person severely injured and vomiting blood... a person who self-destructs... a black hole that sucks people in...

The fox is indeed in trouble!

Moreover, accompanied by the faint sound of copper coins ringing in her ears, she had a strange intuition that kept telling her: this trouble was fatal to the fox!

however……

However, she still didn't know how to help!

Ijichi Kikuri has only been in the extraordinary world for a short time, and all she knows is fighting; her other abilities and knowledge are basically zero.

But she was unwilling to remain helpless...

What if something happens to the fox...

No, we have to do something, no matter what!

There must be someone who can help!

While pondering, Ichikiku looked up and realized that she had been wandering aimlessly in the street and had unknowingly arrived in front of an unknown shrine.

shrine……

god……

Inari God!

Although in Ichikiku's eyes he was a shameless, psychopathic, and unscrupulous capitalist evil god... now is not the time to care about such details!

Soon, Ijichi Kikuri took a taxi to the nearby Inari Shrine.

She strode in, tried praying for a while, but found no response. So she stood up and, to the astonishment of the witch beside her, swung her fist and smashed it at the bronze statue of a white fox holding an ear of wheat beside the temple.

Boom!dong dong!

A fist mark was smashed into the bronze statue!

"Hey, you philandering fox, come out here right now!"

A moment later, the witch beside her suddenly trembled, her eyes rolled back, and a melodious, bell-like female voice, not her own, emanated from her lips:

"What an impolite and unwelcome guest..."

Kikuri Ijichi turned around and shouted, "The Smiling Fox is in danger!"

"……What did you say!?"
