Onmyoji who mingles in the world of anime

"Holy crap, that was so exciting! I almost thought he was going to lose."

"This is allowed? Why do my shots always bounce off the edge instead of falling out?"

"But this girl is amazing! That claw machine is almost empty!"

"Watching their four-person competition makes me want to play the claw machine again."

"Are you stupid? That guy is a master. Have you forgotten that you just spent a thousand and didn't even get a sound?"

Tsuchimikado Fuyu breathed a sigh of relief; the mission had almost failed.

UMR glanced at Tsuchimikado Fuyu, silently picked up the doll next to him, and walked towards the figure section.

It's enough to grab some plush toys; the rest of the money is for grabbing other things. How can I possibly spend all my money on plush toys?

At this moment, the game also notified everyone that Tsuchimikado Fuyu's mission was complete, and everyone left after seeing UMR "voluntarily admit defeat".

We witnessed an epic battle, and everyone was already very satisfied. Such a spectacle might not happen even once a year.

This battle was dubbed the "Battle of the Four Kings" by gamers in Chiba's arcades, though none of the four parties involved knew it.

Even if they knew, they wouldn't care; it's just chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)! There are too many people like this in Japan; it's impossible to control them all.

"Mato-san, pick whichever one you like," Hinata Kaho said with a smile as she handed the doll to Hoshikawa Mato.

Since these dolls are basically the same design, just different colors, Hoshikawa Mafuyu only needed to pick one of each color.

Tsuchimikado Touya handed the dolls to Hoshikawa Mato. There was no use for keeping so many dolls for himself. Even if he didn't give them to Hoshikawa Mato, Tsuchimikado Touya was planning to give them to everyone in the club next week.

He prefers figurines and body pillows to dolls.

"Thank you," Hoshikawa Mafuyu said happily, hugging a bunch of dolls.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu and Hinata Kaho were immediately struck by a critical hit, so...so cute.

The current Hoshikawa Mafuyu feels like their...daughter to the two of them.

That's right, not a younger sister, but a daughter.

I can't believe Hoshikawa Mafuyu is a college student! She's so cute!

"Natsuho, I have a favor to ask you." Hoshikawa Mafuyu suddenly looked at Hinata Natsuho and Tsuchimikado Fuyu with excitement and said.

"Oh, oh." Hinata Kaho coughed, still immersed in Hoshikawa Mado's cuteness, and hadn't come to her senses for a moment.

Hoshikawa Mafuyu led the two to a claw machine that played with figurines. Tsuchimikado Fuyu immediately recognized it as Meruru from the children's anime "Stardust☆Little Witch Meruru"!

I never expected that Hoshikawa Mafuyu would also watch this anime.

However, age aside, Hoshikawa Mafuyu can watch children's anime without feeling out of place.

Hoshikawa Mafuyu looked excitedly at the figurines inside the claw machine, while Hinata Kaho confidently said, "Leave it to me!"

Figurines are actually much harder to grab than dolls because they are square, have a smooth surface, and don't have tags like dolls that you can grab.

On the other side, the store manager and staff, who were heartbroken to the point of vomiting blood, breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the four had finished their competition.

Although almost all four claw machines were emptied, at least they didn't continue playing, otherwise the losses would have been even more severe.

Thinking about it that way, it doesn't hurt so much anymore.

"Manager, Uehara has already left, but what about the remaining three?" the clerk asked.

"What can we do? Go check it out quickly, lest they clear out the figurine section."

"Don't worry, manager, I've tampered with all the claw machines in the figurine section, so they shouldn't have..."

"No problem my ass! You just said the same thing, and look what happened!" The manager roared before the clerk could finish speaking.

The shop assistant was almost in tears, feeling wronged. "It's not my fault! I really did tamper with it. I even tried it myself; it takes more than ten tries to successfully catch one."

Who knew they were so incredibly talented!

The two walked to the figurine section. UMR was already holding two Hatsune Miku figurines and was now walking towards the claw machine that held game discs.

Meanwhile, Hoshikawa Mafuyu happily hugged a Meruru figure, while Hinata Kaho was clipping a second one.

As for Tsuchimikado Fuyu, he looked at the figurines of various professions from the legendary world, thinking to himself, "I think everyone will like these!"

That's right, Tsuchimikado Fuyu plans to collect one figurine of each profession and give them as gifts to the members of the Array Cats.

Of course, the claw machines in the figure section are a bit more expensive than those in the toy section, but it's still affordable for Tsuchimikado Fuyu, and as long as he doesn't make any mistakes, it won't cost much.

The store manager was almost in tears. Although his wholesale price was much cheaper, he couldn't stop them from pinching his hands like that! If these figurines were pinched within five times, he would be losing money.

Of course, the store manager didn't have time to cry, because at that moment UMR walked up to the two of them with a bag of dolls and figures and asked, "Um... the prize I wanted isn't on display... could you please add it in?"

So...so cute.

The two shop managers were immediately charmed by the other person's well-behaved and adorable appearance, and the shop assistant quickly said with a smile, "Okay... please wait a moment!"

Chapter Eighty-Seven: Pain of Conscience

While the store manager and staff were secretly plotting how to prevent UMR from taking away the new prizes, Tsuchimikado Fuyu and Hinata Kaho also made a great haul.

"See you tomorrow then." Hinata Kaho said happily, hugging a bunch of dolls and figurines with satisfaction.

"See you tomorrow." Hoshikawa Mafuyu was incredibly excited, holding the Meruru figure in her hand, eager to go home and display it.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu was also carrying two large bags, one containing a bunch of dolls and the other containing seven figurines.

……

Back at the apartment, Tsuchimikado Fuyu passed by Gabriel's house, only to find that her door was missing, the room was in a mess, and there was a burning smell, as if a bomb had broken out.

Could it be that Gabriel's mobile phone attack has also caused a full-scale attack?

Suddenly, Tsuchimikado Fuyu remembered the cause of his death in his previous life and shuddered. Could Gabriel have been blown back to the heavens?

However, Gabriel was not seen in the room, which made it difficult for Tsuchimikado Fuyu to make any guesses about it.

Upon opening the door, Gabrielle and Winette were sitting on the sofa. Gabrielle was playing a game with a disgruntled expression, while Winette stood beside her, smiling awkwardly.

and many more!

Tsuchimikado Fuyu noticed that the computer in Gabriel's hand looked somewhat familiar.

Holy crap, isn't that my computer?

Why is Gabriel using it? How did she know my login password?

The sound of the door opening caught the attention of Winette and Gabriel. Gabriel looked up at them briefly before continuing to play her game.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu's lips twitched. He really doesn't consider himself an outsider, does he?

"Tsuchimikado-kun, you're back?" Winette asked with a smile.

"Hmm." Tsuchimikado Fuyu entered the room and asked, "Gabriel, what happened to your house? Did your computer go crazy?"

“Ask Vinnie,” Gabriel said without looking up.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu looked at Winette, who gave an awkward smile. "Well... for various reasons."

Tsuchimikado Fuyumi didn't want to talk about it, and he was too lazy to ask any more questions. "Then why were you using my computer? I don't remember telling you the password!"

“I remembered it when you turned on your computer, did you need to tell me?” Gabriel said dismissively.

What should I do if I suddenly feel like hitting someone?

Tsuchimikado Fuyu sighed and asked, "Where are Koi-nee and the others?"

“Xiaoyi said she was going to buy groceries, so she took Yingcao and Kaguya-hime out. Yuki-onna wasn’t seen. Kyuumei-neko was scared away because Vina saw her in her cat form. Sanbi-ko was called away by Rikka. Haku-gami is cleaning the courtyard,” Gabriel said quickly.

After hearing this, Tsuchimikado Fuyu was completely dumbfounded.

What? They've all gone out?

Yuki-onna was with me today, which is why Gabriel didn't see me, but what about the others? Does my safety no longer matter?

Wait, let's not talk about this yet. What's the deal with the Nine Lives Cat?

Tsuchimikado Fuyu looked at Vinette, who became even more embarrassed.

“That’s about it,” Winette said with a smile.

Fortunately, Gabriel kept her words brief and did not reveal the details of what happened in between.

Otherwise, it would be extremely rude of him to find out that he had touched his shikigami without permission.

Actually, the truth is that when I saw the nine-tailed cat, I thought it was the cat that Tsuchimikado Fuyu kept at home, so I wanted to pet it.

As it turned out, Nine Lives Cat had fallen asleep at the time, and then Vinette petted him for a long time. After being woken up, the proud cat immediately became angry, said a few harsh words, and ran into his room, never to come out again.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu glanced at Vinette with suspicion, sensing that Vinette was acting strangely today, as if she had done something wrong.

However, Tsuchimikado Fuyu didn't care too much. Yingcao and Kaguya-hime were actually pretty much like ordinary girls, except that their clothes were a bit strange. Otherwise, there was nothing wrong with them. With their undergarments, they should be fine.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu was afraid that someone would frighten Yingcao. It wasn't that Tsuchimikado Fuyu was worried about Yingcao, but rather that he was worried that the other person might be accidentally killed by Yingcao.

As for Princess Kaguya, there's no problem. Princess Kaguya walks normally, and since Xiaoyi took her out, she certainly wouldn't let her ride on bamboo and fly in the sky.

As for the three-tailed fox...

"Why is Rikka calling for the Three-Tailed Fox?"

"How should I know? Why don't you go up and take a look? It's so annoying," Gabriel said impatiently.

"Are you sure this is how you're going to talk to me?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu frowned and said meaningfully.

"This is my attitude, so what?" Gabriel said unhappily.

Winette thought the two were about to argue, so she quickly said, "Don't get agitated, talk it out slowly."

Neither Tsuchimikado Fuyu nor Gabriel paid any attention to Winette. Instead, they stared at each other for a long time. Tsuchimikado Fuyu silently pulled a large... figurine from his pocket.

It was the priest from the legendary world who dangled in front of Gabriel and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Trying to threaten me? I won't..."

Gabriel raised her head in annoyance, but her expression immediately changed. Her annoyance vanished, replaced by a fawning smile.

"I wouldn't... be rude. Look how nice I am! How about I go to Rikka's house and ask for you? Or maybe I can call the Three-Tailed Fox down?"

Tsuchimikado Fuyu chuckled, "That's not what you just said!"

“No way! That’s exactly what I just said, isn’t it, Vinette?” Gabriel looked at Vinette, gesturing for her help.

Vinette had accidentally blown up Gabriel's room today because of cockroaches, and feeling a little guilty, she lied and said, "Yes...yes!"
