Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful fox

He didn't specify who he was talking about, but the girl immediately realized who he was talking about and replied softly, "Tendo Ryuji."

"He is recognized by the family as the strongest of the new generation. His magic and shikigami are extremely strong. He is believed to have the potential to become a great Onmyoji within the first ten years of the spiritual energy revival. He also joined the Countermeasures Room like me, and became the leader of the fifth soul search team within three years..."

After finishing her long speech, Asuka Tendo curled her lips again and added at the end:

"...But, I'm not a bad genius, and I'm five years younger than him! I'll definitely be better than him in five years!"

Hoshino Hideyuki nodded seriously: "Yes, Master, you are the best ~ the best teeth in the world~~"

Girl: "To be honest, your compliment is a bit disgusting..."

"Hey~"

Just as the girl and her "Shikigami" were communicating their feelings by hurting each other, a female Onmyoji who had just greeted her came over.

She looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old and quite pretty, only slightly less pretty than Asuka.

Although she was wearing a kimono, she wore a silver earring on her left ear, the hairpin in her hair was also trendy, and she even had a pair of sunglasses hanging on her collar. It can be said that the details revealed a strong sense of modern fashion.

"Asuka, this is your newly contracted shikigami, right? So handsome, no wonder you brought him with you in human form for the first time~"

She said this to Tendo Asuka, but her smiling eyes were focused on Hoshino Hideyuki.

"Is this guy a fox monster? What's his name? He was able to pull Tomoya into a genjutsu, that's incredible~"

Tendo Tomoya next to him sneezed violently.

Meanwhile, Hoshino Hideyuki responded with the same narrowed smile: "Thank you for the compliment, but I wonder if you are..."

"Tendo Mitsuki is very young, technically she's my niece."

Before the good fox could finish, Tendou Asuka interrupted him, and then stood between him and Tendou Mitsuki, crossed her arms, frowned slightly, and said in a bad tone:

"This girl is just a shikigami collector. She's been snatching shikigami from people in the family. Don't talk to her!"

"Oh, is it necessary to be so strict? Auntie~"

"you!"

Tendo Mitsuki blinked, then used her height advantage to look over Asuka's head and said to Hoshino Hideyuki, "I just want to give every shikigami a better home."

Hey, what a coincidence~

Fox, I also want to find a dozen rich women and ask each of them to give me a home~

Hoshino Hideyuki raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand and pressed Asuka's shoulder, then said to Tendo Mitsuki: "I am very interested. Miss Mitsuki, why don't you tell me in detail, what benefits can I get if I go with you?"

"You stinky fox!"

"Hehe, no problem, as long as you make a contract with me, I will..."

However, before she could finish, Hoshino Hideyuki said:

"How much is the basic salary not counting performance? What about the internship salary? Are there five insurances and one fund? How many days a week will I be called? How about overtime? Is there a bonus at the end of the year? Does the office allow naps? Do they check the clock in? How many days of annual leave do I have? What about after the five-year contract expires? Do I have to bring the cat with me? By the way, if I do, it will be a minus point in my opinion..."

Tendo Mitsuki:?

After a series of questions, Tendo Mitsuki was stunned.

Is this still a shikigami move?

Seeing this, Hoshino Hideyuki sighed: "Can't you answer? Miss Mizuki, you are not qualified to run the shikigami industry like this. You are not professional at all..."

"Uh……"

Tiantong Miyue was speechless and turned away in defeat!

"Pfft~"

Asuka Tendo smiled happily.

But as she laughed, the girl began to count on her fingers.

Although she knew the fox was just joking, she couldn't help but think:

Is it so difficult to raise this fox? Is my salary in the countermeasures room enough? Do I have to smash the piggy bank to pay for it...

Just as the monsters and Onmyojis in the hall were thinking their own thoughts, the guards at the door suddenly shouted in unison.

Then, a short, fat old man in fine clothes walked in, surrounded by servants, fanning himself with a smile.

After he stood still, he stopped the servant beside him when he was about to introduce himself, coughed twice, and said in person: "Masters, I am the general of this generation, Hojo Yasumasa. Thank you for coming all the way to help..."

Then there was a string of nonsense, like thanks, praise, welcome and so on.

It can be seen that no one in the Tiantong family is very interested in this.

Those who care a little bit about their reputation, such as Ryuji and Asuka, would return the greeting and say some polite words. Those who don't care about anything, such as Tendo Tomoya, would just bow superficially and remain silent.

As for the fox...

He felt that this Hojo General looked a bit like the North King from Dragon Ball, and was thinking about sticking two cricket whiskers on his forehead when he had time.

General Hojo had no idea what everyone in the hall was thinking and continued to deliver the welcome speech he had carefully prepared.

But at this moment, a servant ran in, sweating profusely, and crawled close to the general's ear, mumbling something.

The next second, General Hojo's face changed drastically.

He coughed twice, wiped his forehead, and said to everyone:

"Well, I originally planned to invite all the masters to dinner first, but now, there is bad news..."

"The thirty-six Buddha statues needed to set up the barrier of Awahara City were stolen by the long-haired ghosts on the way here..."

Chapter 208 Mr. Fox Likes to Watch Pretty Girls Fall on Their Buttocks

It took Hoshino Hideyuki some effort to understand the whole story from General Hojo's somewhat awkward and unclear narration.

It turns out that the ancestors of the Tendo family once set up a huge barrier in Awahara City as a powerful weapon for mortals to fight against the long-haired demons.

However, every time this barrier is opened, thirty-six Buddha statues that embody the wishes of the people must be gathered and placed at various nodes. When it is closed, all the wishes in the statues will be exhausted.

It is impossible to sustain this kind of consumption relying solely on the city of Awahara.

In order to solve this problem, every time after driving away the long-haired ghosts, generals of successive generations would distribute the Buddha statues whose power had been exhausted to temples in various places to receive offerings and replenish the power. When the long-haired ghosts invaded the border next time, they would send people to bring back the Buddha statues and set up a barrier.

This approach has always worked in the past.

But this time, the long-haired ghosts got the information from somewhere and ambushed the team transporting the Buddha statues back to Awara City, and stole all the statues!

"Everyone..."

General Hojo lamented, "Without those Buddha statues, I really don't know how I would have defended this Awahara."

"But fortunately, we still have a chance to salvage everything!"

"After those long-haired ghosts stole the Buddha statue, they didn't dare to take the main road, so they couldn't move fast. I guess they are still wandering around in the mountains and haven't been able to return to their camp."

"In that case, we will have time to find them and take back the statue!"

"This mission is too important for ordinary people to undertake. I can only ask you to do it..."

"I hereby promise that anyone who helps find the Buddha statues will be rewarded handsomely, and whoever finds the most will be appointed as a ghost-hunting doctor and command the Yin-Yang people..."

OK OK.

Hoshino Hideyuki blinked, thinking that this was a straightforward task, right? As expected of an NPC who kept the key item.

Here, as the leader of the new generation (even though Asuka disagrees), Tendo Ryuji cooperated and said, "General, leave this matter to us!"

The rest of the Tiantong people also echoed.

Although they were not clear about the specific criteria used by Tongshen Jade to select trial-takers, even a fool could see that contributing to such a crucial matter as fighting against the long-haired ghosts would definitely give them extra points.

So soon.

A group of Onmyojis went down to the city gate.

General Hojo personally saw them off and gave each of them a map and a compass made with a turtle shell as the base - this compass would automatically indicate the direction when approaching the Buddha statue.

It sounds powerful, but in fact its effective range is only one kilometer, so Onmyoji cannot rely on it alone to find the target.

"...I wish you all good luck in fighting!"

After giving out all the things, General Hojo waved goodbye to all the Onmyojis.

After looking at each other, the Onmyojis quickly dispersed and went their separate ways.

After all, from this point on, they are in competition with each other.

"Let me see the map~"

After leaving the city gate, the fox spread out the key props, shook his head for a while... and then threw the map to Tendo Asuka.

The drawing is so bad!

As expected, this kind of map made in the feudal era is just not good. It gives me a headache to look at it. I won’t look at it anymore!

"You fox..."

The girl curled her lips, raised the map, looked at it carefully twice, and then said: "Let's go north. There are many mountains and forests over there. If I were a long-haired ghost, I would definitely go that way!"

"Got it~"

Hoshino Hideyuki smirked and glanced at the girl's twin ponytails and said, "As expected of a long-haired girl with the same hairstyle as the long-haired ghost, she can easily match their electric waves~"

"Hey! What do you mean, you fox?"

Asuka Tendo widened her eyes and stretched out her hand, pretending to grab Hoshino Hideyuki's hair.

"Damn it, I'll braid a ponytail for you too!"

Although they were arguing, the fox and the girl did not slow down. On the contrary, with the blessing of their extraordinary power, they almost flew in the woods.

After a while, the compass responded.

"This way!"

Asuka Tendo suddenly became excited. She jumped several times on the treetop with her little feet in wooden clogs and ran far away in the blink of an eye.

After a few minutes, the compass stabilized and they both looked down from the treetops...

The good news is that I did see a hairy ghost!

The bad news is... there's already an Onmyoji standing next to you.

It was none other than Tendo Ryuji.

At this moment, he held a wild sword in one hand and cut the long-haired ghost in half with one stroke. Then he reached out with his other hand and picked up the fallen Buddha statue in his hand - the Buddha statue was made of copper, the size of a fist, and could be held in one hand.

After doing this, he nodded to Asuka Tendo on the top of the tree and turned to leave.

"Damn it, someone got there first! Aa ...

Tendo Asuka was so angry that she kept stamping her feet, but she forgot that she was on a tree. As a result, she stepped on a branch and broke it. With a "duang" sound, she fell on her butt.

"Woooooooo..."

She rubbed her little butt, looked up at the treetop and said, "Fox, why don't you pull me up..."

Hoshino Hideyuki tilted his head and smiled: "Well, because I also want to see what you look like after you fall~"

"How can you say such cold words with your 36-degree mouth? Unforgivable! Death penalty!"

Half a minute later.

The girl and the fox who had been kicked in the butt continued to move forward.

"We will head south a little further, avoiding the direction Long Zhi left from... Let me emphasize that this is not because we are afraid of him! This is a roundabout strategy of this genius!"

"Hi hi hi~"

"Wait, the pointer is responding!"

Fortunately, the girl had good luck after adopting the new strategy and locked onto a target in no time.

So the fox and the girl rushed over again, followed the compass needle and found a wooden house in the woods, and saw two long-haired ghosts in front of the house.

Unlike their previous flamboyant counterparts, these two long-haired ghosts disguised themselves very carefully, wearing shoes and gloves, and a robe to cover their hair and horns - although their height was still conspicuous, they did not look like ghosts at first glance.

At this time, they didn't seem to be anxious about how to escape, but instead sat around a small jar excitedly:

I only heard one of the ghosts ask: "Brother, what is this?"

"Palace Jade Liquor!" Another ghost laughed, "This is a good thing brewed by humans. I was originally going to sell it for three small gold coins. Fortunately, I know how to bargain. I showed my fist as soon as I approached it. The kid got scared and sold it to me at cost price, two coins~"
