Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful scumbag.

"I'm sorry, I wouldn't dare, fox, please don't do that!"

After Hoshino Hideyuki stopped crying, she added, "But, but, we're only pretending after all, so we still need to set some rules to prevent us from crossing the line!"

"Whatever you want~"

Hoshino Hideyuki climbed onto the bed, and the next second, he transformed into a tiny pink fox, yawning as he said:

"I've been walking all day, I'm exhausted, all I want to do is sleep..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he closed his eyes, curled up, and buried his head in his tail. After a moment, his breathing became steady.

He just fell asleep like that?

Asuka Tendo stared at the fox for a long time before letting out a slight sigh of relief.

It seems easier to accept if the other person sleeps in the same bed with her in fox form.

but……

We should still take precautions!

The girl pouted, picked up the pillowcase from the bed, and covered the fox's head with it.

After doing all that, she felt relieved and began to take off her clothes.

Although she was very tired, she still planned to take a shower before going to sleep, since there was a wooden tub in the room.

However, to save time, she didn't want to ask the hotel staff to heat the water. Instead, she took out a talisman from her pocket, recited a few incantations, and the bucket was filled with hot water out of thin air.

Well, Onmyoji techniques are quite convenient~

A smile played on her lips as she contentedly slipped into the tub, immersing her petite body in the hot water. Her brows relaxed, and she let out a soft, comfortable moan…

Ah, if only there were a bottle of milk right now, it would be perfect...

(The next 500 words are probably not for you to read, so I'll omit them.)

Shortly after, Asuka Tendo finished her bath.

She changed into a bathrobe, letting her slightly damp blonde hair fall loose, and climbed into bed with her two snow-white little feet bare.

Then, she looked at the fox next to her, which looked like a ball of fur.

Hey buddy, you weren't peeking just now, were you?

It seems so; the position of the pillowcase hasn't changed.

But...

For no apparent reason, a little unhappiness arose in the girl's heart.

The fox actually fell asleep without peeking at all!

Isn't it said that boys can't stand this kind of scene?

Could it be that he felt his body was flat, like a child's, and there was nothing to see, which is why he was so calm?

Thinking of this, Asuka Tendo sulked to herself.

She puffed out her cheeks, lifted the pillowcase covering the fox's head, and brought her freshly washed feet, which smelled of soap and still had a few water droplets on them, to the fox. Her pink toes twitched and opened, which was very cute.

hum!

You stinky fox, sleeping like a log, huh?

Then I'll use your fur to wipe my feet, you definitely won't feel it, right? Hehe, serves you right for teasing me so many times!

Thinking this, the girl raised her eyebrows and continued to stretch her leg forward.

But as she stretched, her movements slowed down.

This fox looks so cute when it's asleep...

Using it to wipe your feet would be a waste...

Uh, forget it.

This genius is incredibly magnanimous!

The girl pursed her lips, withdrew her foot, then changed her position, lying face up on the edge of the bed with her head close to the fox, her two little legs raised in the air, her toes swaying like butterflies on her heart-shaped bottom.

"Fox, oh fox, have you really just fallen asleep like this?"

"Damn it, am I really that unattractive? Seriously!"

"However, I'll let you off the hook this time and won't tease you anymore..."

She reached out and gently stroked the fox's ears with her slender fingertips, murmuring to herself:

"After all, your being trapped here is somewhat related to me... I'm sorry..."

"Also, I was really happy that you stood up for me just now. Um... even though I've already said it, I still want to say it again, thank you..."

"You're welcome~" Hoshino Hideyuki suddenly raised his head, met the girl's bright eyes, and smiled, "This fox-like old man is always happy to help others~"

Tendo Asuka:?

"ah!"

"You...you're not asleep!?"

The fox wagged its tail and said, "I was asleep, but your breathing tickled my face, so I woke up~"

"You should have said something! How could you eavesdrop! When exactly did you wake up?"

"It was probably when you first got into the bucket."

"So you weren't asleep at all!"

The girl stood up on the bed, her face flushed red, and raised her foot to stomp on the fox's head:

"Damn it! You sly fox! Forget everything you just heard!"

The fox squeaked in fright and scurried around the bed.

"No, is this really necessary? You didn't say anything!"

"I don't care, I'm forgetting everything!"

"Okay, okay, I forgot. Can you pull your leg back now? To be honest, I can see everything from this angle!"

"No, it's okay. As long as I make you lose your memory, everything will be fine!"

"How could I possibly step on someone to make them forget their memory! This fox's head is hard as nails! If you step on me again, I'll bite you, I'm going to bite you!"

Ouch!

"Ouch! That hurts! Why did you actually bite me!"

"Ouch! That hurts! Why are your heels so hard?"

At this moment.

In her room on the third floor, Naoko Sakuragi, who had been asleep, slowly woke up. Hearing the creaking sounds coming from the ceiling, she couldn't help but cover her face.

"Wow, that's impressive for young people, really intense!"

the next day.

"So, Asuka, Makoto, you two...didn't sleep a wink last night?"

Downstairs at the hotel, Sakuragi Naoko saw the fox and the girl with dark circles under their eyes and messy hair, and she was both amused and exasperated.

Hoshino Hideyuki scratched his head and said, "Well, what can I do? The genius beautiful female onmyoji was constipated last night..."

Asuka Tendo immediately jumped up and stomped on the fox's foot: "No way! Beautiful girls don't get constipated! Don't just utter such vulgar words!"

"What's so vulgar about constipation? It's a perfectly proper medical term! Apologize to the doctors!"

Seeing the fox and the girl start making noise again, Naoko Sakuragi tilted her head and smiled.

Ah, what a wonderful relationship!

but……

"Gentlemen, you should tidy up your appearance a bit more."

"I have completed the procedures, and we will be meeting the General in a little while."

Chapter 207 Huh? You want to raise foxes without money? No way!

About an hour later.

Led by the messenger, the fox, the girl, and Naoko Sakuragi arrived at the castle tower located at the highest point of Ashihara City.

The so-called castle tower is actually a castle on the Japanese side. Because the roof is built with roofs on top of roofs, and tiles are stacked on top of tiles, it has a great sense of layering and is very beautiful when viewed from a distance.

However, upon closer inspection, it's a different story. The main issue is that the interior space is generally quite small, which doesn't quite match the magnificent exterior.

The same goes for Hojo Shogun's castle tower. It looks like a game CG from the outside, but once inside, the fox finds it utterly boring.

"You two must be Onmyoji masters, please follow me..."

Midway through their journey, another servant came over, bowed respectfully to Hoshino Hideyuki and Tendo Asuka, and offered to lead them to other rooms—clearly, due to the special status of Onmyoji, they would be received separately.

So the two parted ways with Naoko Sakuragi and followed the servants through two corridors before arriving at a spacious hall where they could see most of Ashihara City from the windows.

Upon entering, Hoshino Hideyuki discovered that there were already ten people inside.

First up was the short-haired young man, Tomoya Tendo, whom I had just met yesterday. The remaining nine people consisted of seven men and two women, who were presumably all Onmyoji from the Tendo family.

As the fox observed the crowd, the crowd also observed him and the girl.

Tendo Tomoya snorted coldly and began whispering with his three companions, the content of which was clearly not friendly.

The other six weren't as hostile, and while they weren't exactly enthusiastic either, they still greeted Asuka Tendo.

Hideyuki Hoshino immediately noticed one of them.

The man, probably in his early twenties, was tall and handsome with a small ponytail. He sat by the window, looking down at the city with a very calm expression.

This posture looks rather pretentious.

But more importantly, this person gave the fox a vague sense of threat. In other words, his strength was at least comparable to Asuka Tendo, or at most... well, that's hard to say.

So the fox leaned close to the girl's ear and whispered, "Who is that?"
