I'm raising a fox fairy wife in Tokyo

"Besides, if it were my grandma, she probably wouldn't work for you rich people. The Shinomiya Group is a huge conglomerate."

Even if wealthy capitalists are possessed by spirits, they are all bastards who deserve to die.

Although it is somewhat extreme.

But Grandma Takakawa Fuki would definitely say that.

"But I can tell that Shinomiya-san is a kind and gentle person."

That's why I helped.

He's not the kind of guy who'd do anything for money.

Gao Chuanlong isn't one of them, nor are his grandparents; the Gao family are all rather stubborn people.

【So handsome. 】

For some reason, this kind of chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) feeling becomes inexplicably cool on Takagawa Takayuki.

Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka both thought the same thing.

but.

Before tonight's events come to an end, there is one more thing Kaguya Shinomiya wants to know.

"Takakawa, um... what are you planning to do about this?"

The girl was referring to the coffins of Ryoko Sato and the others. At this moment, she believed that the gentle Takagawa Takayuki probably didn't want to destroy them in front of her.

and so.

It will destroy it after it leaves.

After all, the Takagawa family's ancestral motto is to "eliminate all non-human and alien beings from this world."

But the boy's answer was baffling.

"Let's find them new jobs."

"Eh?"

What does this mean?

[Spirit] Can you really become a corporate slave or something?!

Chapter Fourteen isn't about fooling kids, it's about exploiting a bug!

It was past four in the morning when the Shinomiya family's driver took them back to the vicinity of the shrine.

"You can stop here, thank you for your trouble."

"Ok."

After getting off the bus, Takagawa Ryu bought an iced cola, sake, and barley tea at the 711-Eleven he had visited with Shinomiya Kaguya earlier.

The spirit that was previously leaning against the beverage counter has somehow returned.

Gao Chuanlong gave the other party another bottle of strawberry milk.

Then I watched him silently leave the convenience store and disappear at the end of the long street.

The shop assistant was almost asleep, and when she was woken up, she looked like she had seen a ghost.

"There's no strawberry milk this time either."

"I just drank it."

"Oh? This is very troubling for me, sir..."

Carrying shopping bags.

Takagawa Ryu ignored the spirits still running around in the streets and headed towards home.

The shrine that he inherited is in Hachioji.

If.

If Saitama is considered the countryside to Tokyo, then Hachioji is the countryside within the countryside.

However, Takagawa Ryu felt it was alright.

As I walked, I could see in the distance a lone girl in a classic white dress silently posting advertisements along the street under a solitary streetlamp.

at the same time.

Gao Chuanlong suddenly noticed that the dagger tucked into his waistband seemed to be bleeding.

It was left behind by the fat man who had just been killed; I retrieved it at the last minute.

"what."

Gao Chuanlong checked the situation and confirmed that his judgment was correct.

"It's going to become a [spirit]."

The once quiet night was suddenly broken by the roars of wild beasts.

In the darkness ahead.

The obese man, with two faces twisted like a mountain of flesh, grinned widely, his mouth slick with sticky sweat and filthy saliva, and spoke incoherently.

"I...I'll kill you...Ah...A brand new power...This is the brand new power!! As expected, I am the strongest..."

The words have not yet fallen.

In the darkness, a girl's slender, pale hand reached out from behind the fat man's neck, appearing out of thin air, and then gently wiped it away.

"Pfft!"

The massive jet of air, something only seen in anime, surged forth right before Takagawa Takayuki's eyes.

The crimson blood resembled a spring from the earth.

It exploded simultaneously from within the man's shattered body, instantly reducing him to nothingness.

at the same time.

The dagger in Takagawa Ryu's hand, which served as his "coffin," also turned to ashes and vanished—not destroyed, but "eaten."

Everything comes quickly and goes quickly.

The [Thousand Souls Magnificent Self-Slaying Child], rated "S~" or higher, would have no problem devouring such a nameless nobody as [Spirit].

even.

She was still putting up advertisements the whole time, and didn't even glance in their direction.

What a handsome kid...

"this is for you."

Takagawa Ryuga walked up to the girl and handed her the barley tea.

"How about having some modern drinks once in a while? I'll buy you milk tea next time, okay?"

"No."

The voice of the self-reproaching child was very soft, almost inaudible, yet exceptionally clear and moving.

"and this."

Unmoved by the rejection, Gao Chuanlong handed her the broken phone from his pocket.

"This is a new employee we found for you. It must be very hard for you to run such a big place all by yourself. It would be good to find a few more tour guides or something."

"Tourist guide?"

"maid."

"what……"

The girl tilted her head slightly, considered it seriously for a moment, and then took the phone—this was, of course, the [coffin] of the victims, including Ryoko Sato.

"good night!"

"Good night."

The girl was busy putting up advertisements again.

That solves everything.

A spirit medium like Takagawa Takayuki (official title) typically has three methods to deal with a "spirit".

First: Destroy its coffin and kill it.

Second: Let another [spirit] devour the other - [spirits] become stronger by eating their own kind, so there are also companions who have contracts with or "raise" [spirits], treating them like Pokémon in battle.

Third: After rendering the [spirit] harmless, manage it through some means.

The third method is arguably the opposite of the first two.

Because whether it's destroying the coffin or letting another spirit devour the other, the essence is still annihilation.

The only difference is in the term "harmlessness".

The emergence of a spirit must have some reason, and most spirits will persistently do something.

There is a certain logical relationship here, just like... like the "strange tales of rules" that are popular among young people recently.

and so.

As long as they lose their agency, it will be like the current situation with the "spirits of victims like Ryoko Sato".

Knowing that Yagijiro was dead, they would no longer spread the curse.

So theoretically speaking, they no longer "exist" in this world.

Of course, this is not absolute.

There might still be unexpected events in the future, which is why Takagawa Takayuki wanted to hand them over to the self-reliant boy.

The girl's goal is to let more people know about the past of her hometown, so she will definitely protect tourists.

Then.

This creates a "cycle".

The coffins of Ryoko Sato and the others will be taken back to "Shiratori Castle" by the self-reliant child, so they will be unable to leave that place.

Those who enter "White Bird Castle" will be treated as tourists by the Self-Slaying Child and will not be allowed to be attacked.

Therefore, if Ryoko Sato and her companions attack humans again, they will be killed by Jiken-doji first.

This is called "making full use of the mechanism"!

Commonly known as "bug exploit".

It's worth mentioning that I'm now also a "tourist" of the self-inflicted wound, because I made a promise with her that I would go back to "Shiratori Castle" a second, third, and fourth time...

and so.

Any spirit that attempts to attack her in front of her.

They would all be seen as enemies by the girl—like that guy from just now.

The only pity is...

"Can we conclude the contract now?"

"No."

Tsk.

Looks like I haven't built up enough affection points yet. I can't turn it into a "Pokémon" by making a contract and summon it anytime, anywhere.

Right now, we can only treat him as a security guard.

He's still a night shift security guard.

The girl doesn't appear during the day.

"There are too few tourists."

The girl seemed somewhat dissatisfied.

"There isn't a single one, it's a scam."
