I'm raising a fox fairy wife in Tokyo

A vibrant, pink-haired beauty stood up, struck a cute pose reminiscent of Sailor Moon, and introduced herself.

what?

There's one more person here.

Judging from the girl's clothes, they are exactly the same school uniform as Kaguya Shinomiya and Maki Shijou—but their figures seem to be quite different.

It's not just that their development is good; it's downright exaggerated!

Her azure eyes sparkled, and her slightly chubby round face, accentuated by her plump figure, made her look incredibly cute.

"She's a genius gaming girl..."

"By the way, Gao Chuan, what's that in your hand?"

Kaguya Shinomiya interrupted her friend's inexplicable self-introduction—because it was just too embarrassing!

At the same time, he asked in confusion.

She didn't know what the boy had gone out to do.

but.

Why was he holding a samurai sword when he came back?

"This? It's a demon sword."

On the way back, Gao Chuanlong had obviously learned the details of tonight's "big prize" through his golden touch.

"Demon Blade [Ku Yun]".

It was definitely worth the trip.

"what?!"

What a strange name.

“k...ku...kuyun?”

Shijo Maki looked at the boy with an incredulous expression, then suddenly gave him a knowing look.

"That's so cringeworthy, isn't that how all boys are?"

"So handsome!"

In comparison, Fujiwara Chika knew much more.

And to this.

Gao Chuanlong did not want to explain further.

Simply walk into the room, go to the window in the other room, and then open it.

"Let's not talk about that now. I want to ask what exactly happened."

With the boy's voice.

Night suddenly streamed in through the old wooden window.

The Takagawa family's shrine is located on a small hillside on the outskirts of Hachioji City. It occupies a fairly large area, nearly 1,000 square meters.

The main building of the shrine is located on the side facing the edge of the hillside.

therefore.

Opening the windows of the girls' rooms, one can see the gently sloping long street below the mountain.

It was already late at night, around 2 a.m.

Therefore, one can still vaguely see the silhouette of a self-slaying child dressed in a pure white dress, posting tourist advertisements along the long street.

usually.

It's so late; she's practically the only person on this street.

Because it's too remote, there aren't many residents or shops around.

But the problem is.

Today, one "figure" after another stands along the long street.

Men, women, boys, girls...

They stood there on the street, some near, some far, all raising their heads and looking in the direction they were in—no, in the room where Kaguya Shinomiya and the others were.

"I noticed it when I got back, what's going on?"

"Takakawa Ryu was saying."

When I got home, I saw a huge group of spirits standing motionless on the street, staring at the shrine in my house.

It's so late at night, it's kind of creepy.

"Well……"

Both Kaguya Shitsugu and Maki Shijou looked at Chika Fujiwara standing to the side.

Same time.

Hayasaka Ai, who was sitting on the other side eating a lollipop, spoke up.

"Didn't Takagawa-kun ask Kaguya-san and Maki-san to recall what they had done before?"

"what……"

Since the two encountered the curse on the same day, they were probably also marked with the "death mark" at the same time.

So just before leaving.

Gao Chuanlong asked the two girls to think about what they had done together during those days and whether they had gone to any places together.

then.

Kaguya Shinomiya and Maki Shijou came up with the idea.

The day before the curse was cast.

They visited the "Shuchiin Academy High School" together.

"Because we'll be moving up to the next grade next year, the school organized a visit to the high school section."

Shuchiin Academy is Tokyo’s oldest and most prestigious academy. Even now, with the abolition of the aristocracy, many talented individuals born into wealthy families, destined to shoulder the fate of the nation, study here.

The girls are now all attending the junior high school section of Shuchiin.

future.

Of course, they also need to go on to high school.

"I don't usually keep in touch with Shijo. If I had to say where we've been together, that's the only place."

"Most importantly, I went with Fujiwara that day, and she was there too..."

That's right.

Kaguya Shinomiya remembered the day she visited Shuchiin High School.

Having few friends, he only has Fujiwara Chika by his side—Hayasaka Ai is a "secret maid" who hides herself away at school and pretends not to know her at all.

Then it quickly became clear what was going on.

Kaguya Shinomiya immediately called Chika Fujiwara, only to discover that the girl had indeed been cursed as well.

So they quickly brought her to the shrine as well.

Now, all those spirits on the long street outside are summoned by this guy.

"Fujiwara-san's situation is a bit complicated..."

"Ah, what is it?"

Gao Chuanlong calmly sat down.

Customers, you know.

One more wouldn't matter.

But Fujiwara Chika's next sentence was simply unbelievable.

"I think I defeated the first [spirit]!"

"what?"

Just now, I brushed up on some "basic knowledge" with Kaguya Shinomiya, so Chika Fujiwara has a general understanding of the situation.

"Those guys down there..."

"They all came later, because of this!"

The girl took out her phone.

Then, I pressed a strange app that I had never seen before.

"That guy sent me this game before."

Fujiwara Chika began her narration.

As the game screen appeared on the phone, Takakawa Ryu quickly saw that it was just a pixelated little figure of "Fujiwara Chika".

"I understand."

Upon seeing this familiar interface, Gao Chuanlong understood immediately.

"Isn't it true that at the beginning there will be all sorts of tasks that you need to complete by controlling the character in the game?"

"For example, squatting in the elevator at three in the morning; saying 'Go to hell' a hundred times in front of the mirror every morning when you get up; not being allowed to talk to anyone all day, etc..."

"That's right!"

"Suicide game".

Guided by the spirit, the actions taken in the game will be reflected in reality. Ultimately, under its step-by-step coercion and enticement, the player will kill the character in the game, and at the same time, kill himself.

"This is no joke. Show me where you are... Wait, why don't you have any tasks?"

"Because I cleared the game."

"It's impossible to beat this game, right?! I've never seen anyone beat this kind of game before..."

It's truly puzzling.

Because this is something [Spirit] created to manipulate people's hearts, how could it possibly let you pass the level, especially unscathed, without even getting hurt...?

As if he had just thought of something, Gao Chuanlong asked the girl.

"You didn't cheat, did you?"

In this regard.

Fujiwara Chika's answer was...

"Hehe~☆"

Chapter Twenty-Six: You've got a lot of potential!

Suicide game.

It was something that became popular worldwide when the internet first became widespread.

They used the then-rudimentary chat software.

Even children from remote areas like Hokkaido or Shikoku can interact with all sorts of people from all over the world.

thus.

Malice began to spread without any reason.

Various curse emails; bloody and grotesque photos; ghostly images that jump right into view at the end of otherwise ordinary videos...

In the world of the internet.

No one knows who they really are, and whatever they do is entirely based on their mood.

The immense malice that arises from this is—
