Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful fox

The vengeful spirit struggled and cried miserably.

But soon, tiny black lightning lit up from the chain, and after a burst of explosions, the vengeful spirit cried out in pain, lowered its head, and stopped twisting.

She floated back to the corner of the room, as if nothing had happened.

Hoshino Hideyuki saw the whole scene.

He calmly picked up a pickled plum he had bought at the convenience store, tore open the package, and swallowed it.

Really, it’s so salty and not tasty at all…

what……

Forget it.

As an innocent and cute little animal, it is not good for me to always be involved in fighting and killing.

It is better to spend more time and solve the problem fundamentally.

But how to solve it?

If it is a pure illusion, such as the one that Kayaba Nobuyuki used before, even if the fox has not learned it systematically, he can use his unconventional methods and talent to deal with it.

But when it comes to matters involving ghosts, he can't even be said to have any talent.

The best way is to ask someone who knows...

Thinking of this, Hoshino Hideyuki opened his cell phone and found a string of numbers from the memo - this was the number he secretly wrote down when he was playing with someone else's cell phone during the Kayaba Nobuyuki incident.

The note is...

A hard-headed girl with twin ponytails who is easy to deceive.

"I remember her name was Tendou Asuka?"

Chapter 41: Foxes love to trick children~

"Huh!"

The long-haired man shouted and slashed at the girl in the karate uniform with his knife.

Although he was using a wooden sword, the blade flashed with the unique cold light of gold and iron when it was swung, which made people wonder whether this sword was enough to split the cow's leg bone in half.

However, the girl, or rather, Asuka Tendo, calmly stepped aside half a step and let the knife pass by her nose by a hair's breadth.

Then she threw a quick, accurate and fierce straight punch, hitting the man's knife-holding hand. The man cried out in pain, loosened his grip and dropped the wooden sword to the ground.

After a successful attack, Asuka Tendo did not relax at all. Instead, she turned around and stepped heavily on her own shadow with her snow-white feet.

A golden light suddenly appeared, and the next second, a middle-aged man rolled out from the shadows, raised his hands, and begged for mercy.

The discussion ends here.

"That's a lot of progress, Miss Tendo!"

The person who came out of the shadow took a breath and praised sincerely: "I thought I could trick you, but I didn't expect to be found out in an instant..."

"You're too kind. It's just luck..."

Facing the older seniors in the Countermeasures Room, even though she won a one-on-two battle, Asuka Tendo remained humble.

But inside...

Hahahahaha!

Little Asuka held the steel plate with her head held high, and crossed her arms with her hands on her waist, looking very arrogant.

This genius has been studying hard for half a month. He eats meals every day and watches anti-fraud propaganda videos. He stays up late at night to study the Thirty-Six Stratagems and One Hundred Common Scams. He has already become a god in the field of anti-fraud!

How could a mere shadow trick fool me?

I have said goodbye to my past self!

Even if I meet the smiling fox again, I can just smile and will never be fooled!

"? How nice it would be if all this was just a dream, and I could still meet you in my dreams...?"

In the locker room, the sudden ringing of a cell phone brought the girl back to reality.

Asuka Tendo picked it up and took a look.

Unrecognizable number.

Ok……

It's probably a fraud call!

The knowledge she had just learned suddenly flooded into the girl's mind:

Japan is a country where the amount of money involved in Internet fraud cases is close to 500 billion yen per year... Those fraudsters will cleverly package themselves and deceive your trust...

The girl took out strawberry milk from the closet, took a big gulp and answered the phone.

Let me uncover your disguises, trickster!

"Moses Moses..."

"Ah, hello, Miss Tendo, do you remember me? I'm the fraudster who cheated you at Abe's Department Store last time~"

puff!

The girl couldn't help herself and sprayed out the milk, which stained the coat in the closet that she hadn't put on yet with white liquid.

"you you you!"

"I me me!"

On the other end of the phone, Hoshino Hideyuki answered the call with a smile as he walked up the steps of the temple.

Asuka Tendo was stunned for two seconds before she came to her senses.

Is it a prank?

No, not many people in the countermeasure room knew the details of how they were deceived, and they were not the type to play pranks.

In other words, the person on the other end of the phone was really a smiling fox? !

He, he just called me like that? He didn't even pretend!

How did he…oh yeah he took my phone…no, none of that matters now!

The girl took a deep breath.

No matter why he came to me, this is a good opportunity to spy on him!

First we need to stabilize him, then find someone to help, track and locate him...

"Oh, by the way, let me remind you, don't try to track or locate this phone. I stole it from a passerby and I'm going to return it later. Don't scare people~"

"..."

"Also, don't look for anyone else. I'm only in contact with you. If I notice that you've found outside help, I'll disappear immediately. You know I'm good at this."

The girl groaned in her heart and decided not to act rashly.

"So, what's your purpose in calling me? Are you trying to trick me again? I'm warning you..."

"Because I need your help with something."

Hoshino Hideyuki is very frank.

Cheat? Cheat about what?

Uncle Fox, this time I’m going to tell the truth!

Asuka Tendo's mouth twitched: "Huh? Why do you think I would help you?"

"Two reasons. One is that you owe me a favor."

Hoshino Hideyuki said slowly: "If I hadn't taken care of you that day, you would have been in a car accident. Even if you were fine, what about the driver?"

Tendo Asuka was silent.

Although I don't want to admit it, it's the truth.

Since she was a child, her grandmother had always taught her to be a sensible and grateful child, so she could not deny the fox's words.

Ah, so annoying...

The girl answered somewhat incoherently:

"Even if I owe you a favor, it doesn't change the fact that we are on opposite sides! You are a lawless lunatic. You have violated hundreds of laws and regulations. I won't help you! As for that favor... I will find another way to repay you..."

"What can I do? Sell me my socks?"

"No, no, no!"

"Ha, just kidding~"

Hoshino Hideyuki smiled and interrupted her, "Let me continue with the second reason. The reason I came to you this time was not for myself, but to save innocent people."

"what?"

"I recently encountered a strange vengeful spirit, and I don't know how to deal with it..."

As the saying goes, a gentleman deceives others with his own methods.

Hoshino Hideyuki directly told everyone what he had seen and heard in the past two days.

Of course, the background was omitted to ensure that Asuka Tendo would not be able to trace the case back to Kaito Kasuga.

Even so, the information revealed was enough to reveal the evil of his opponent.

"An unknown book... a controlled vengeful spirit... a golden chain that can emit black lightning..."

In an instant, Asuka Tendo thought of something.

If everything that Smiling Fox said is true, then this is indeed an evil act that desecrates other people's souls. She should take care of it regardless of whether she is a member of the Countermeasures Room or an Onmyoji!

however……

On the other end of the phone, Hoshino Hideyuki continued coldly: "I'm not telling you this so that you can take over the whole thing, otherwise you can just report it directly."

"I do feel a little sorry for that vengeful spirit and want them to become Buddhas, but this mercy is limited. If you don't want to help or insist on getting other people in the countermeasures room involved, then I will still choose to eliminate them."

Tendo Asuka was in a state of hesitation.

Reason told her that she could not agree to this request and should abide by the regulations of the Countermeasures Office and report the whole matter.

But if this happens, the Countermeasures Room will definitely take the opportunity to catch the fox.

If a fox senses something is wrong, it will definitely take ruthless action and then run away.

So, the whole thing becomes like this:

Secretly helping the fox can repay the favor and do good deeds, but it will violate the rules.

Not helping the fox or pretending to help and then reporting it maintains the rules, but it is ungrateful and will most likely not accomplish anything good.

what……

What kind of Onmyoji train problem is this!

Why do I have to face this kind of choice when I just turned sixteen!

The girl squatted in the corner, scratching her head frantically, her originally cute face wrinkled like a steamed dumpling.

"Why are you silent? Don't you know the details of that evil spirit?"

Hoshino Hideyuki sighed: "Alas, I thought the orthodox Onmyoji knew everything, but it seems that they are just so-so..."

Damn it, he actually used such a crude method of provoking me!

Asuka Tendo muttered unhappily: "Of course I know their details, but..."

"But you still feel like you shouldn't help me?"

Hoshino Hideyuki's tone was very sad:

“Wow, wow, I never thought that Miss Tiantong you would be such a heartless woman. You don’t care about my kindness in saving you or the safety of the girl’s soul…”

"me……"

"It's okay. I understand you. After all, there is a lack of basic trust between you and me."

Hoshino Hideyuki changed the subject and said, "In that case, I will feed the tigress with my own body."
