Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful scumbag.

"You fox, what are you saying all of a sudden? As an accomplice, isn't it normal for me to care about you...?"

Yes, yes, that's normal~

The fox raised an eyebrow, admiring the complexion of Iji Chikiku at that moment.

It feels like hanging it on the side of the road would automatically stop cars!

But then...

Suddenly, Ijichi Kikuri turned her head, grabbed the fox's long snout, and stuffed it into her guitar case:

"I need to go back to the performance hall first. You stay inside and don't let anyone see you!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Help! Animal abuse!

Without the pressure of time, Ichiki took the train home, and by the time she arrived at the performance hall, it was already an hour later.

After exchanging a few words with Yui Sakai, she put her guitar bag back in her office and turned back to her work.

Although she still had many questions for the fox, it was getting late and the peak of the visitor flow was approaching, so she simply couldn't find the time.

The fox, after peeking out of its guitar case to check and confirming it was safe, slipped to the sofa in the corner, took out a small quilt, and comfortably covered itself with it.

Steamed buns are delicious, but as expected, sleep is the best way to restore energy and demonic power.

Unfortunately, he didn't get to sleep for long.

"Sawamah, oh sawamah, with you, life is wonderful and carefree...?"

About an hour later, he was awakened by the urgent ringing of his cell phone.

The person on the other end of the phone was Tetsuya Inuyama.

"Mosimoxi?"

"Xiuxing, what did you do this time? You made quite a commotion! We thought it was a terrorist attack or even a septic tank explosion at Shenghe Private High School!"

Ok……

In a sense, they seem to be about the same?

Wait, what do you mean by ranking a septic tank explosion as a terrorist attack?!

Chapter 97 The Fox, Paper Airplane, and Glycerin

Hoshino Hideyuki briefly explained what had happened to Inuyama Tetsuya, and then asked:

"How is the situation now?"

Tetsuo Inuyama said:

"Because the students bombarded the emergency lines, police from almost half of Tokyo flocked to the area. I even saw the people from the countermeasures office; they were wearing suits and acting all mysterious, talking to our boss right now..."

"It seems they wanted to take over the whole place, but they didn't expect things to get this big, hence the small number of people they sent..."

"Anyway, things are still in a mess."

"However, the casualties are clear. Apart from Kondo Nozomi, only two young men were seriously injured. Other students said they were thugs who came in to beat people up, but this hasn't been confirmed yet..."

"Most of the other students are fine, but they have shown varying degrees of malnutrition..."

"Wait... Ah, breaking news, the countermeasures office has finished talking with our superiors, and we will announce to the media that this is a mass food poisoning."

Hideyuki Hoshino imagined it for a moment.

It's not entirely unreasonable that eating mushrooms bankrupted half the school and incidentally caused hallucinations of white mist and wolves—although he still felt that the gas explosion explanation was more plausible.

He then asked, "Was there someone named Amamiya Yukiho there? Do you remember her?"

"who is she?"

"A very beautiful, exceptionally beautiful, extremely beautiful female high school student."

"I think I know who you're referring to... She's alright, just a little exhausted. Is there something wrong with her?"

"nothing……"

It seems he's integrated into the group of victims...

Hideyuki Hoshino thought for a moment, then said nothing.

Since they explicitly asked him to keep it a secret, he should leave himself an out, so that there wouldn't be no room for maneuver when they meet again.

Even if you get caught, there's a difference between getting caught three times in the morning and four times in the evening versus getting caught four times in the morning and three times in the evening!

After chatting for a few more minutes, Inuyama Tetsuya got busy with work and hung up the phone.

After thinking for a moment, Hoshino Hideyuki slipped out of the performance hall through the office window, went to a nearby convenience store, hypnotized the clerk and got his phone, and then called Tendo Asuka.

"Moshi moshi, is this Ms. Tendo? This is the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. We have discovered that you are suspected of involvement in a money laundering case. Please cooperate with the investigation, otherwise we will freeze your bank accounts..."

After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, Asuka Tendo's annoyed voice came through:

"It's you, you stinking fox! I can tell! Don't try to fool me again!"

well.

Ironhead has made progress.

I have to thank the fox for his patient teachings!

Hoshino Hideyuki said, "Bing-dog~ It's me~"

Asuka Tendo, sitting opposite him, sighed and replied:

"I'm busy right now, so if you're not in a hurry, please don't bother me..."

"Let me guess, are you at St. He Private High School? Or are you on your way there?"

"...This matter isn't related to you, is it?"

"You're right. I deserve half the credit for the stadium being bombarded. Don't praise me too much, or I'll feel embarrassed."

"..."

Hoshino Hideyuki coughed twice and said seriously, "I'm going to tell you something."

He repeated what he had told Inuyama Tetsuya before, emphasizing that the culprit was the tengu from over three hundred years ago.

"In other words, as spiritual energy revives, there may be more and more of these kinds of beings, and the things they cause will become bigger and bigger. You should be prepared."

He wasn't sure if the countermeasures office had more information, but he figured even if they didn't, the Tendo family should have some.

But regardless of whether he had any information or not, he felt it was necessary to share some information with Asuka Tendo.

I finally have a friend in the countermeasures office, I can't let her get into trouble without knowing what's going on.

Asuka Tendo sensed the fox's kindness, and after a moment of silence, she whispered:

"Thank you."

"Say it again in a louder voice, didn't you eat?"

"?"

Asuka Tendo's voice instantly rose in pitch:

"Yes, I didn't eat. Because a certain fox and tengu caused a ruckus at school, my lunch and dinner are clearly ruined!"

"Hehehe, am I that amazing?"

"I wasn't praising you! Damn it, you're making me complain, aren't you? You'll get what's coming to you when I catch you..."

Then came some incomprehensible phrases, such as "I'll put you in a cage" and "put a sock on your mouth," which made the fox laugh, filling the air with a joyful atmosphere both inside and outside the phone.

Just before Asuka Tendo was about to hang up the phone after talking for a while, she suddenly asked:

"...By the way, Fox, could you give me a reliable way to contact you? It's always the other way around; you can always reach me, but I can't reach you. That's not fair!"

Hideyuki Hoshino thought for a moment.

He actually believes in Asuka Tendo quite a bit now.

However, he dared not trust the countermeasures office or the Onmyoji families.

Fortunately, he had some special experience...

He said, "Have you ever used Paper Airplane? It's a communication software with fairly good security, though not 100% secure, so you'll need some practice using it. I'll send you a link in a bit..."

five minutes later.

Hideyuki Hoshino hung up the phone, returned it to the convenience store clerk, and went back into Kikuri Ijichi's office.

After making those two phone calls, he couldn't fall asleep even if he wanted to.

So he first stuffed the large steamed bun into the oil paper package to restore it.

Then he summoned the system to summarize the rewards.

He now has 51 cultivation points.

The majority of the points came from Akagami Soun, because if you include the power of faith, the old tengu's overall strength is slightly stronger than the book spirit's, so after being tricked several times, he directly contributed 40 points.

The rest came from Yukiho Amamiya and other miscellaneous people.

Hoshino Hideaki used his ears to upgrade the Fox Fairy Technique (which he called "Quick, Easy, and Economical") to level 3 and the Eye of Insight to level 2.

More demonic power is never a bad thing.

The pupil technique also played a crucial role this time; if he couldn't see the luck, he wouldn't have been able to detect the Tengu at all.

Afterwards, Hideyuki Hoshino drew another prize, keeping the last 16 points for later use.
