I'm raising a fox fairy wife in Tokyo

Why?

Thinking about it carefully, something really doesn't seem right!

What kind of place could give birth to such a powerful [spirit]? Takagawa said that if that child went berserk, he could kill tens of thousands of people in an instant...

The more I think about it, the more something seems off!

"It's alright, it ......"

Shaking her head, Kaguya Shinomiya calmed herself down.

Takagawa said that the people she captured were "tourists" who would not only be safe from harm, but would even be protected by the child.

So the current situation is actually quite simple.

The boy wanted to use this "mechanism" to have all the spirits chasing Fujiwara killed by the self-slaying boy, right?

Saying.

Takagawa, what you've done is just like what that idiot Fujiwara did!

Having said that.

Kaguya Shinomiya was quick enough to explain the situation to Maki Shijou and Chika Fujiwara.

"I see... So... it's actually safer here, right?"

"Wow! Takagawa-kun is so smart!! I'm going to invite him to join the board game club!!"

Now is the time to talk about this!

"So now... what should we do?"

Shijo Maki asked somewhat uneasily.

It was so dark around us that strange noises kept coming from the woods late at night.

Every now and then a cold wind blows, giving you a chill down your spine.

Yes!

If it's called "visiting Shiratori Castle," then what exactly are we supposed to do? Are we just going to wander around aimlessly?

Kaguya Shinomiya didn't know either.

"How about we walk forward a bit?"

"Okay, everyone stay close... Fujiwara, don't look around!"

"Ow!!"

The three girls huddled together and began to move slowly.

And then quickly.

A small light was spotted not far away.

"Aa ...

Shijo Maki was the first to scream.

to the opposite.

Fujiwara Chika then puffed out her chest and said.

"Will-o'-the-wisps are actually phosphorus flames, mainly produced by the spontaneous combustion of phosphine (PH3) gas. They are commonly found in environments where organic matter is decaying—such as cemeteries. Don't be afraid."

"Yes, this is a normal scientific phenomenon."

"Well!"

Feeling embarrassed, Shijou Maki stopped screaming, but the next second, all three girls screamed again!

because.

They saw a girl in white carrying a lantern walking towards them in the darkness.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

"Are you... travelers from afar?"

The girl's voice is very nice.

Beneath her disheveled long hair lay a delicate and beautiful face that gave one an exceptionally reassuring feeling.

what.

It's not a ghost...

No, this must be a ghost!

It's not that it looks scary.

Kaguya Shinomiya even recalled the night she first met the self-inflicted wound of the child; that child did indeed seem very beautiful.

"It's so late, it's not safe to walk at night. Why don't you go to the city to rest for a while?"

"please."

The girl's smile was so captivating it could melt anyone's heart.

So cute!!

As the girls thought this, Kaguya Shinomiya breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this was probably what they meant by "visiting Shiratori Castle".

Ah, nothing terrible is going to happen after all. Takagawa is still very reliable.

That's just a statement.

When I first met this child, she was really scary.

My eyes, mouth, neck, and all over my body are bleeding.

Fortunately, there isn't any right now...

Just as Kaguya Shinomiya was thinking this.

far away.

Suddenly, a whooshing sound rang out.

Almost in the blink of an eye, several arrows suddenly pierced through the body of the girl not far away, staining her white clothes crimson.

At the same time.

The sound of horses' hooves came from the darkness.

A mounted samurai clad in full armor galloped in and beheaded the girl with his katana.

"Eh?"

Crimson blood splattered.

Along with the girl's head, which was turned upside down in mid-air, the small world before them was stained red.

"Eh eh eh eh eh eh?!"

What's going on here?!

Why suddenly...

"Yashiro, Maki, Kaguya, it seems like we're doomed."

"what?"

"Don't say such unlucky things at a time like this!"

It's true!

Fujiwara Chika waved her hand rapidly, pointing to the side, her face full of a cute, panicked expression.

There.

There stands a rather old wooden sign that reads "[Direction to Hachioji Castle Honmaru]".

"This is an extraordinary place! It's one of the most dangerous haunted locations in Tokyo!!"

This is—

Hachioji Castle Ruins Natural Park...

……

"Is Hayasaka-san really unable to see anything?"

"Ah."

It was late at night.

The boy and the blonde girl walked through the long street and headed towards the vast forest in the distance.

"That's a good thing. There are indeed similar special constitutions. For example, in [Rei's] eyes, Hayasaka-san is a super ugly girl and she doesn't want to get close to her at all."

"Is this a compliment? Thank you so much..."

Along the long street, from Gao Chuanlong's perspective, all around him were men and women holding sharp knives, their faces pale, their expressions cold and terrifying. They were all moving in unison, running like marathons towards the distant mountains and forests.

Such a scene would be too terrifying for ordinary people.

Being unable to see it is certainly a good thing.

"Um... are Kaguya-san and the others really alright?"

Hayasaka Ai was still worried about Shinomiya Kaguya and the others.

just.

When she left the shrine, she was suddenly left alone with only the boy, which made her panic for a while.

"It's alright! Although [Suicide Game] is a very powerful guy, that kid isn't bad either."

"Or rather..."

"Ten thousand times more terrifying."

Eh? !

"Hayasaka-san, have you heard of the Ruins of Hachioji Castle?"

"It was mentioned in school history class..."

"Ah, in the 18th year of Tensho during the Warring States period, during the Battle of Odawara, when the Toyotomi army attacked Odawara Castle, the Hojo retainers of Hachioji Castle led their troops to support Odawara. However, Hachioji Castle subsequently fell under the fierce attack of the Maeda and Uesugi families."

As the city fell.

The remaining garrison troops in the castle, along with thousands of elderly, weak, women, and children, committed suicide upstream of the waterfall in front of the castle tower's main keep.

The blood once completely stained it red.

"Hey, isn't it Shiratori Castle?"

"Liar."

"what?!"

"I taught them that. After all, Hachioji Castle Ruins is a notorious haunted and terrifying place throughout Japan. If we advertised it like that, no one would go! So we had to make up a name that nobody knows, so that..."

"..."

She looked at the boy beside her with an incredulous expression.

Hayasaka Ai opened her mouth, thinking to herself.

You're a million times scarier than a spirit!

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Hayasaka Ai? Takagawa Ai!

"Didn't Takagawa-kun ever go to school?"

"I went to primary school, but I didn't study much after junior high."

"what……"

It couldn't be bullying or anything...

"sorry!"
