Onmyoji who mingles in the world of anime

"What's so interesting about hiding this?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu asked, looking at Rikka and the others speechlessly.

Then Rikka began to explain hesitantly.

Actually, what they wanted to hide wasn't the album itself, but a single photo inside it.

That evening, not long after Tsuchimikado Fuyu went out, Dekomori Sanae, after listening to Kingyo-hime's "bragging," felt a bit bored and had nothing to do. To put it simply, she was bored out of her mind.

In addition, she was curious about Tsuchimikado Tou's room and wanted to see if there were any secrets hidden in his bedroom, so she suggested going treasure hunting.

Rikka initially disagreed, after all, even though they were now a couple, she felt it was a bit impolite to rummage through Tsuchimikado Tou's things without his permission.

However, Sanae Dekomori clearly knew Rikka very well and easily persuaded her to enter Tsuchimikado Fuyu's room together.

At first, they were very careful, putting everything they had touched or rummaged through back into its original place.

However, not long after, they found Tsuchimikado Tou's "mysterious treasure" at the bottom of his wardrobe: a "sealed" box (which was actually just sealed with tape).

After opening the box, I found some of Tsuchimikado Fuyu's old otaku-style clothes and three photo albums.

These otaku-style clothes, besides those printed with anime girl patterns, also include some that look rather chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur), but Dekomori and Rikka find them very cool.

Driven by curiosity, the two started swapping clothes, which is why there were so many clothes scattered on Tsuchimikado Fuyu's bed.

That's not a big deal. The main problem is with the photo album. While looking through the album, Rikka and Dekomori were so engrossed in their work, and because the album was a bit old, they accidentally tore a photo of Tsuchimikado Fuyu and his mother.

In this photo album, only this one picture is a photo of the two of them together; the rest are all photos of Tsuchimikado Fuyuki himself.

Then the two of them hurriedly tried to make amends, and when they heard the door open outside, they knew that it was most likely Tsuchimikado Fuyu who had returned, so they panicked even more.

In a moment of panic, mistakes are easily made. As a result, when Dekomori was changing back into his own clothes, he accidentally bumped into Rikka, who in turn knocked over the bookshelf, leading to the scene that Tsuchimikado Fuyu witnessed.

Rikka rushed out to stall Tsuchimikado Fuyu, so that Dekomori Sanae could quickly tidy up the house, but who knew that Tsuchimikado Fuyu would see through her so easily.

"I...I'm sorry," Rikka said pitifully.

"I...I'll find a way to recover," Dekomori said somewhat embarrassedly.

If there were many group photos in the album, she wouldn't be so insecure, but this one photo must be very precious to her, which is why she felt so guilty.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu expressionlessly gave each of them a roasted chestnut on the head, and then said, "Photos don't matter. There are plenty of group photos in the albums in the study. This is just an album from when I was very young. I almost forgot about it if you hadn't found it."

I'm only angry because you guys left my things lying around everywhere. Hurry up and tidy them up, then go back to sleep.

"Understood." Seeing that Tsuchimikado Fuyu wasn't angry, Dekomori immediately reverted to his previous chuunibyou (delusional) self and said smugly, "Just tidying up a room is nothing, watch how I wield my Thunder Hammer!"

"Behold my time reversal technique," Rikka said earnestly, striking a pose.

"..." Tsuchimikado Fuyu rolled her eyes at the two of them. "Hurry up, it's so late..."

"Ah..." Before Tsuchimikado Fuyu could finish speaking, a scream came from outside the window.

Chapter 696 Shadow Woman

"This is... Sagiri..." Tsuchimikado Fuyu was stunned when she heard the voice, and her expression changed drastically. She ran out of the room and shouted to the door, "Sister Koi, something may have happened to Sagiri. Go down and check on her quickly."

At the same time, Tsuchimikado Fuyu summoned the three-tailed fox and put her into possession mode, saying, "Fox sister, go through the window."

After saying that, Tsuchimikado Fuyu turned and went into the bedroom. Under the curious gazes of Rikka and Dekomori, he flipped over and jumped out of the window.

Then, just as I was about to reach the second floor, I grabbed the railing with both hands, swung it around, and landed steadily on the balcony.

Meanwhile, Koi, who was preparing a midnight snack for Tsuchimikado Fuyu in the living room, was already preparing to go check on the situation when she heard Sagiri scream.

Before she could even put down the ingredients in her hand, she heard Tsuchimikado Fuyu urging her. Without wasting any time, she immediately followed Tsuchimikado Fuyu and jumped out of the living room window.

Two minutes earlier, in the room on the second floor, Mrs. Eromanga lay unconscious on the floor, with a pool of blood beneath her. Her fate was unknown.

In front of her, a woman-like figure paced back and forth on the ground, as if searching for something. Drops of blood dripped from her hands onto the ground, making a dripping sound.

On the balcony, Sagiri leaned against the balcony door, pressing it tightly against the door. Her eyes were blurry with tears. Although she was very scared and worried about her mother's safety, she remembered what her mother had said when she protected her: "Hide well and don't make a sound."

Therefore, whether it was when his wife was injured or after they escaped the room, Sagiri kept her mouth tightly covered so that she wouldn't make any sound, because she didn't want her mother's efforts to be in vain.

The approaching footsteps coming from inside the house intensified Sagiri's fear. Her eyes widened, and tears streamed down her arms, wetting her sleeves.

Someone... please save me!

Someone please save Mom!

Sagiri prayed and pleaded incessantly, hoping someone would come to save her and her mother, hoping the monster would leave, hoping her mother would be safe, hoping...

Just then, a shattering sound was heard, and then Sagiri felt as if she had been hit by a heavy object. She was sent flying and her delicate body crashed into the hard balcony railing, causing her to cry out in pain.

However, this did not cause her to lose consciousness. The intense pain in her back kept her mind perfectly clear. Looking at the monster in front of her, which had a human shape but was as black as a shadow and whose face could not be seen, Sagiri felt a strong sense of fear.

This feeling made her feel suffocated.

Finally, to her horrified gaze, the other party moved...

Sagiri finally couldn't hold back any longer. She leaned against the wall, her legs kicking forward uncontrollably, and let out a scream, "Ah...no...don't come any closer...no, someone save me!"

Just then, the monster walked up to Sagiri, raised its large hand, and swung it down.

Sagiri closed her eyes in fear. Am I... going to die?

After a long while, Sagiri did not feel the pain she had imagined. Instead, she heard a gust of wind, followed by a loud bang, and then a series of clattering sounds as various objects fell to the ground.

Sagiri tried to open her eyes, only to find that the black monster had disappeared, replaced by a man with three tails and a pair of pointed ears on his head.

Who is this?

Is it a monster?

Why did a monster come to save me?

And why does it look so familiar?

Just as Sagiri was curiously trying to observe the other person's profile, she saw the other person turn around and then hug her tightly.

"It's okay, don't worry." Sagiri was worried that the other person might do something to her, but the next moment, she felt a warm embrace and heard a gentle and familiar voice.

That voice sounds so familiar!

Seems to be……

The voice of Brother Dong.

Sagiri slightly raised her head and immediately saw Tsuchimikado Fuyu's gentle smiling face. Her fear-filled heart instantly dissipated like the sun breaking through the clouds.

The trembling body slowly stopped in Tsuchimikado Fuyu's arms.

What a warm embrace!

"Winter... Brother, where is that monster?"

"Hmm? Sagiri-chan is finally calling me that?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu said with a smile. "As for that monster, I've already eliminated it, so don't worry."

Sagiri blushed and turned her head away, then immediately thought of her mother who was still lying in the living room. She quickly turned her head back pitifully and said anxiously, "Brother Dong, please save Mom."

"Eromanga-sensei." Tsuchimikado Fuyu quickly realized that he had been so busy comforting Sagiri that he had almost forgotten about his wife.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu slapped his forehead, picked up Sagiri, and walked into the living room, completely ignoring the monster buried under the clutter, its fate unknown.

At this moment, in the living room, Xiaoyi was squatting next to her wife, trying to stop the bleeding. However, Xiaoyi did not know any treatment methods, so she could only find some cloth to stuff the wound on her wife's abdomen.

Seeing Tsuchimikado Fuyu and the others walk in, he quickly looked up and said, "Fuyu, quickly call Peach Blossom Fairy and the school heartthrob."

"Mom." Sagiri quickly stood up from Tsuchimikado Fuyu's arms and rushed to her mother's side, tears welling up in her eyes again.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu knew that there was no time to lose, so he quickly summoned Yingcao, Peach Blossom Fairy, and Princess Kaguya.

"Little grass, peach blossom demon, hurry and save people! Princess Kaguya has possessed you and is providing spiritual power."

After Tsuchimikado Fuyu finished speaking, the three of them immediately got to work. Soon, with the efforts of Yingcao and Peach Blossom Fairy, the lady not only stopped the bleeding, but her pale cheeks, which had been swollen from excessive bleeding, also slowly regained their rosy color.

Soon, Yingcao and Peach Blossom Fairy stopped what they were doing, nodded to Tsuchimikado Fuyu, and Yingcao said, "Brother Fuyu, Eromanga-sensei is alright now."

"But Mom hasn't..."

"Don't worry, Eromanga-sensei is just too tired to wake up yet. She'll wake up tomorrow morning." Tsuchimikado Fuyu walked over, patted Sagiri's head, and comforted her.

"Really?"

“Really…” Before Tsuchimikado Fuyu could finish speaking, there was another noise coming from Sagiri’s room, and then the shadow-like monster reappeared in front of them.

Sagiri's fear made her nervously clutch Tsuchimikado Fuyu's clothes. Tsuchimikado Fuyu picked her up and said, "Don't be afraid, it's just a vengeful spirit transformed into a shadowy woman."

As soon as Tsuchimikado Fuyu finished speaking, his tail disappeared, and the three-tailed fox appeared in front of Sagiri and charged towards the Shadow Woman.

Chapter 697 Balance of Hot and Cold

In the living room, the three-tailed fox easily dealt with the shadow woman and killed her on the spot. Watching the three-tailed fox's clean and swift movements, and the glazed grass and peach blossoms beside her, Sagiri slowly realized that she seemed to have seen something incredible!

"Brother Fuyu... are you really an Onmyoji?" Sagiri looked at the three-tailed fox and immediately thought of the three-tailed fox shikigami in the movie that Tsuchimikado Fuyu and the others made. They looked exactly the same.

"Oh right, so don't worry, everything's fine now," Tsuchimikado Fuyu said with a smile.

Sagiri opened her mouth slightly in surprise, staring blankly at Tsuchimikado Fuyu, her expression incredibly cute. She hadn't expected Tsuchimikado Fuyu to admit it so easily.

"What's so surprising? You've seen it all, how can I hide it?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu seemed to have guessed what Sagiri was thinking, ruffled her hair, and said with a smile, "Do you think I'd kill such a cute Sagiri-chan just to keep her quiet?"

As he spoke, Tsuchimikado Fuyu gestured towards Sagiri's neck, causing Sagiri to involuntarily shrink into his arms. "You bad guy!"

"..." Tsuchimikado Fuyu shrugged helplessly, then looked at the messy living room and said, "Sagiri, no one can stay at your house tonight. Why don't you and Eromanga-sensei stay at my house for now?"

"But... won't there be enough room?" Sagiri hesitated for a moment, then asked softly, "I can sleep on the sofa, but Mom..."

"Don't worry, you'll see when you get here. Don't be too surprised later." After saying that, Tsuchimikado Fuyu didn't wait for Sagiri to refuse before carrying her out of the room. Koi and Mrs. Eromanga followed.

Back home, they found Sanae and Rikka anxiously waiting at the door for Fuyutsu Tsuchimikado. Rikka asked, "Fuyutsu, is everything alright?"

"It's all over now. It's just that Eromanga-sensei got a little injured. He'll be fine after a night's rest," Tsuchimikado Fuyu said with a smile.

"Hmph, as expected of the contractor of the Evil King's True Eye, the mere evil forces are utterly pathetic." Upon hearing that everything was alright, Rikka immediately put aside her worried expression and said triumphantly, as if she had defeated the enemy.

“Aster, it seems we missed a decisive battle.” Sanae Dekomori breathed a sigh of relief and struck a pose to cooperate with Rikka, saying, “If I, the Thunder Hammer user, had been in the battle, it would have been resolved much faster.”

"Hmm, the Thunder Hammer user is very strong in individual combat, but he's a little weaker than the Evil King's True Eye."

"Of course, the Evil King's True Eye is the most powerful in the world... Eh eh eh..."

"Go do your silly antics somewhere else, don't block the doorway and disturb Sagiri's sleep." Tsuchimikado Fuyu calmly pushed aside the talking Sanae Dekomori, squeezed her aside, went inside, and said in a low voice.

While going upstairs, Sagiri's intense emotional fluctuations caused her to feel tired as soon as she relaxed, and she easily fell asleep.

"Winter?" Rikka asked Sagiri curiously.

Didn't you say only Eromanga Sensei was injured? Why is Sagiri also unconscious?
