I'm raising a fox fairy wife in Tokyo

The boy smiled and spoke in a very gentle voice.

He clapped his hands.

"This child is very pitiful, so let's let him attain Buddhahood later."

Chapter Twenty: The Ceremony of Attaining Buddhahood

"Is it alright, Lord Long?"

The girl's eyes began to sparkle, leaving Kaguya Shinomiya speechless.

She even called him "Lord Long"—what a shameless woman!

"Of course, no problem."

"That's wonderful! I can become a Buddha now. I hope I can be reborn into a good family in my next life."

"It will make her a cute and good woman who comes from a wealthy family, has highly educated parents who travel abroad every day, and has a kind-hearted onii-chan who earns money to support the family. All she needs to do is stay at home, eat, and wait to die."

"Wow!!!"

What's with that look in your eyes, like this is the life you've always dreamed of?!

"I would like to offer you 200,000 yen."

"no problem!"

Only 200,000? That's a steal!

I thought it was two million or twenty million...

In a sense, Shijou Maki and Shinomiya Kaguya are very similar.

"Well then, Shijou-kun, please wait outside for a moment. You can't watch the battle... no, I mean the ceremony."

Did you accidentally let something slip?

"Okay, then I'll head out now."

Finally, he waved goodbye to the puppy in the cage.

Shijo Maki seemed to be in a much more relaxed mood as she walked outside.

"As for Shinomiya-kun..."

Gao Chuanlong looked at the girl who still appeared cold and terrifying.

Are you sure you really have that mark on your body?

"Ok!"

Although she was a little embarrassed about the strange mark on her leg, Kaguya Shinomiya told Takagawa Takayuki about it before coming.

"Well then, we'll talk about the specifics later. You don't need to go out, Shinomiya-san."

"Eh?"

Want to do some kind of ritual together?!

"No, it's just that if such a thing really exists, there are some things that Shinomiya-kun needs to get used to first."

"Eh?"

After Shijo Maki left.

The gentle smile on the boy's face vanished instantly.

This gave Kaguya Shinomiya a premonition.

What exactly is this so-called "Buddhahood Ceremony"?

Didn't they say that [Ling] didn't become a Buddha or anything? Were they just lying to themselves before?

I have a bad feeling about this...

but.

At this moment, Takakawa Takayuki indeed still appeared calm.

Even the large fox that had been lying on the boy's lap from the very beginning—like a lap pillow—the golden fox simply rested its head between Takagawa Ryu's legs.

Enjoying the boy's constant stroking, his long, dark fox eyes curved happily like crescent moons, a sight that was visibly comforting.

It's impossible to guess, there's absolutely no way to guess Gao Chuanlong's next move.

Kaguya Shinomiya originally thought...

Tonight, the boy is going out again with Shijou Maki to find out the origins of this little dog [Rei] and then solve some problems.

Perhaps it holds a story that is far more complex than it appears on the surface.

Just like my past self.

Kaguya Shinomiya was naturally very worried about Maki Shijou.

For the past two or three days, the girl has been led out of her house by the dog every night after she falls asleep. The dog wanders the streets as if sleepwalking, not knowing where it is going.

That's definitely extremely dangerous!

You should know that Shijou Maki's place was no different from her own.

To be able to leave unnoticed every night under the noses of so many servants and bodyguards is already an unimaginably terrifying event.

Even if the puppy in front of me is the "good spirit" that Takagawa Ryu mentioned, or even a victim or something.

But what it did was truly terrifying!

This is really unsettling...

Kaguya Shinomiya, who is completely considerate of others, cannot be considered cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

Her outward indifference is not only a mask instilled in her by her family since childhood, but also an "outer shell" to protect herself from harm.

But in fact.

The girl is actually a very gentle and kind person.

"Chizuru, could you please go and get the toolbox?"

"~"

The big fox let out a cheerful hum, as if it were being affectionate, and nuzzled against the boy's chest before leisurely getting up and leaving.

At the same time.

Takagawa Takayuki also stood up, as if preparing to do something—

-

He actually started taking off his clothes!!

ha? !

The girl, who was just worried about Shijou Maki, suddenly saw the boy take off his usual black vest.

Then, the well-proportioned and muscular muscles inside were revealed...

"Gurgle."

Even the athletic Kaguya Shinomiya had to admit that Takagawa Takayuki's figure was simply perfect, like the greatest masterpiece created by an ancient Greek sculptor.

It's absolutely captivating!

Her pretty face quickly flushed red, and her breathing became rapid.

Even my thoughts stopped.

Why is this guy taking off his clothes?!

Kaguya Shinomiya, who had just realized this, was completely unable to continue her train of thought.

I don't even know how long I stared at it.

It was as if he had just come to his senses.

Keep thinking.

[Probably, they need to change clothes; after all, they can't exactly hold a Buddhahood ceremony in a tank top and shorts...]

【Reasonable. 】

That's how I convinced myself.

Kaguya Shinomiya suddenly realized, "Is the boy going to take his pants off again?"

That's really disgusting... Anyway, I'm still here!!

but.

Gao Chuanlong did not do that.

Not only did he not take off his pants, he also didn't change his clothes!

The shirtless boy walked casually to the small iron cage.

Tilted his head.

The little dog inside remained silent, lying on the ground as if it were dead.

a long time.

Just then, the large white fox that had just left returned to the living room and brought back the toolbox with its mouth.

The boy opened it, and Kaguya Shinomiya glanced at it briefly.

Inside, they discovered axes, chainsaws, drills, chains, steel bars, and all sorts of knives...

What kind of tools do you have?!

Isn't this supposed to be a Buddha-making ceremony?!

Finally realizing what was happening, Kaguya Shinomiya saw the large white fox roll up the comfy couch that was placed in front of the TV in the living room and push it to the corner of the room with its paws.

then.

"Chizuru, set up a sealing barrier."

As the boy finished speaking, the living room suddenly went dark.

It was as if the light had been swallowed up by something.

The pure white light still illuminated the central area of ​​the room, but the surrounding walls and sliding doors were now completely shrouded in darkness.

and.

From within that dense, pitch-black interior, exquisite fox masks began to emerge.

Then the big fox turned around, lay down on the ground, and turned on the TV.

And the other side.

Gao Chuanlong took out an iron chain from the iron box, opened the cage, and skillfully put it on the puppy lying inside.

"Kaka!"

Strange roars came from within, and it seemed that a few little girls were crying among them.

"Hey, this dog has never been on a leash."

Gao Chuanlong simply took the iron chain and lifted the puppy out of the cage. Looking at the guy who had just been pretending to be sick and lying on the ground, he began to struggle and bark in mid-air.

"Still calling it? Big Windmill!"

Start turning directly!

The boy's actions left Kaguya Shinomiya completely dumbfounded.

It just kept spinning for a minute or two.

The puppy, now back on the ground, was still emitting eerie low growls.

The little girl's pitiful cries were gone, replaced by a "crunching" sound, as if her flesh and bones were being chewed up.

"Still grinning, huh? Looks like you want to eat dragon fruit."

Gao Chuanlong easily pulled a steel rod from the toolbox and then swung it directly at the puppy's head.
