Chapter 86 The White Fox Delivers the Faith (Please Subscribe!)

Regarding how to confirm Ai Komatsu's relationship status, Keisuke Ao originally planned to invite his company president to carry out the tracking plan, but unfortunately the message he sent went unanswered.

President Hoshino is as charismatic as ever.

After considering it for a while, he decided to use the crushed rabbit bones and hair as props for casting the spell.

"Spirit of the Gray Mist, heed my call and come forth."

A hazy mist swept out from the fragmented bones, covering the entire mass of bone dust. Then, a grayish-black mass slowly rose from the mist, and with the spiritual summoning and shaping of Qing Guijie, a pair of scarlet eyes opened from the shadows.

"So it really is a rabbit? Whatever—"

The summoned Gray Mist Spirits can only be considered a relatively low-level summon; depending on the summoning item, they can produce different effects.

For example, Keisuke Ao could now use this gray mist rabbit supported by bones to directly find the messenger.

But that would be too boring.

If he really wanted to do that, he might as well just curse the person to death!

He flicked his finger and threw the tracking mark he had left on Ai Komatsu into the rabbit's head, carving a light white, discontinuous six-pointed star on its forehead.

Then, it used more than half of its spiritual energy to add some other functions to the Gray Mist Spirit.

"This should be sufficient for monitoring and feedback: Go back to your master."

"Chirp!" The gray mist spirit, which was not essentially alive, responded and its body slowly dissipated in the air, turning into invisible mist. Following the mark on its head, it flew towards the direction of Ai Komatsu.

Logically speaking, this is a "gift" that Ai Komatsu received, so it should be correct for her to call her "master," right?

Even rounding down, I've essentially helped return the item to its rightful owner.

—It just went back to accompany Ai Komatsu in a different way.

Although the spirit of the gray mist is not infused with much spiritual energy, as long as it is not attacked or enters the territory of other spiritual monsters, it should be able to survive until the end of the ball game tournament without any problems.

Having finished this matter, Qing Guijie felt much more relaxed. He would write a report using the information he obtained from the Gray Mist Spirit and submit it another day, then he could sit back and watch the show with ease.

Only by respecting the progress of the game can he fully appreciate the true nature that President Hoshino reveals in club activities.

In the evening, as usual, I practiced volleyball with Arisugawa Asuka in the small park downstairs. Sometimes, when we got bored with the volleyball, we would even play a serious doubles match for a while.

-

Dressed in sportswear, the Yamato Nadeshiko moved nimbly and rhythmically under the lights, her figure like a pure white fairy dancing in the night. Just watching her from the other side was enough to make one feel happy.

Unlike Ai Komatsu, Asuka Arisugawa's every smile and gesture is genuine and adorable, making her instantly lovable.

"Qinggui-kun, I feel my volleyball skills have improved a lot!"

"I have definitely made progress. Maybe I can become an athlete in the future."

"Seriously~"

Asuka Arisugawa stopped, took out a towel to wipe the sweat from her face, and said reproachfully, "You always like to say things like that to make fun of me."

"There's always a one in ten thousand chance, right?"

No!

"Really not?"

"No!"

"What a pity, I thought I would see Arisugawa-san on TV."

"Qinggui-kun, I'm going to hit you!"

"How scary."

Qing Keisuke, spirituality index 150→160.

Ultimately, Keisuke Ao didn't tell Asuka Arisugawa about his plans to clear up the rumors.

While waiting for the elevator to descend from the seventeenth floor, he looked at Arisugawa's fair, sweaty nape and felt the urge to reach out again.

"See you tomorrow, Qinggui-kun!"

"See you tomorrow."

Standing at the elevator entrance on the ninth floor, Aokiji waved goodbye to Arisugawa.

When he got home, he looked into the living room and saw a white fox sitting on the balcony, looking bored and licking its own anus.

The fox's fur shimmered slightly, and it had red cloud-like markings on its back and belly. As it looked at Yuki through the glass, its expression was as vivid as a human's.

Meow~

Realizing she was outmatched, Yuki heard the commotion and immediately ran back to Qing Guijie's feet, meowing to indicate that she had done a great service by keeping the enemy out of the door.

Then he tried to bar his teeth towards the balcony.

The white fox ignored the foolish cat. Upon seeing Qing Guijie, it immediately stood up respectfully, its fluffy tail wagging vigorously, before slowly kneeling down.

Aokiji's eyelids twitched slightly. Putting aside how incongruous it was for a fox to kneel like a human, the fox's utterly sycophantic expression alone was enough to make him want to complain.

"Lord Seikisuke, I am the shikigami of Lord Shinbata. This is a token given to me by my master." The fox spoke in human language, pulling out an amulet from Meiji Shrine from between its teeth.

"What is it?" Upon hearing this, Qing Keijie nodded. The spirituality of the white fox was undeniable; it truly belonged to Kamibata Yui.

"Um—can I go in first?"

"Meow!" Yuki immediately refused.

"I understand." The white fox bowed twice more. "I dare not set foot in your house, sir. I have come here mainly to deliver a letter to my master."

"Why didn't she come over herself?"

Keisuke poured himself a glass of water, opened the French doors to the balcony, and scrutinized the fox in front of him.

"Reporting back to you, sir, my master suffered some minor injuries. The details are explained in the letter."

"Give it to me."

Aoki Keisuke was surprised that even a spellcaster as spiritually advanced as Shinbata Yui could get injured.

No wonder I haven't heard from her these past two days.

"yes!"

The white fox lay prone, wiggled its rump, then slowly sat up and stretched out its front paws to pull a scroll from its throat.

It rubbed its fur against its chest before respectfully handing it to Qing Guijie.

Qing Keisuke:

There was clearly no saliva on the reel, so why did they have to do this to disgust people?

Keisuke Ao picked up the scroll and tapped the fox on the head with the scroll.

"Woof?!"

Yuki, emboldened by her master's presence, pounced out of the room, trying to grab the white fox's tail.

"You stupid cat who can't even talk, get away from me!"

The white fox easily jumped onto the balcony railing. Yuki stopped abruptly upon seeing this. The feeling of being beaten up by Qing Guijie was still vivid in her mind. She didn't dare to follow and climb up. She could only let her tail wag restlessly back and forth.

Keisuke Ao leaned against the balcony door frame and gently unrolled the reel.

The paper and ink on the scroll are made of some kind of spiritual material, and the words on the scroll seem to have a life of their own, moving freely everywhere.

Only four characters remain unmoved in the center of the scroll: "Those who see it will see it for themselves."

The words will gradually return to their original positions only when someone is allowed to open the scroll.

"A minor technique to blind the eyes."

Aokiji infused his spirituality into the scroll, and under his gaze, the dancing ink characters quickly returned to their original positions, presenting the content to him.

The information that Shinbata Yui deliberately protected with both shikigami and magic must be a secret that cannot be easily revealed.
