I'm raising a fox fairy wife in Tokyo

Holding a silver pistol, he had just completed the exorcism.

Ninjas are "weapon masters"!

Unlike samurai who were accustomed to using swords and spears.

Ninjas will accept anything that can kill the enemy!

Swords, kusarigama, shuriken, throwing stars, bombs, blowguns, barbed wire...

But in modern times...

Of course, ninjas also have modern fighting styles.

When Hayasaka Ai heard Takagawa Ryu suggest that she use a shotgun for close combat, an automatic rifle and pistol for medium range, and a sniper rifle for long range, she almost couldn't believe her eyes.

Should we also equip them with individual rocket launchers?

But upon closer reflection, it seems there really isn't a problem.

In a sense, the so-called "ninjas" were the ancient "special forces".

almost.

So now it's not just Ninja Hayasaka, it's also Special Forces Hayasaka!

Takagawa Takayuki's explanation is that ninjas use the weapons they are most familiar with, and for a girl, the training she received from childhood included, besides a small knife...

She did indeed learn how to use firearms, so using a gun really is the best option!

Of course, the weapons used to exorcise spirits are not ordinary firearms, but specially made ones. The barrels and bullets are engraved with scriptures, and it is said that they are "specially made anti-spirit weapons" that need to be blessed by a master.

How strange, what's causing this inexplicable feeling?!

Well……

In short, if it works, then there's no problem!

Hayasaka Ai watched as Kaguya Shinomiya ran out of the phone booth and breathed a sigh of relief—although it seemed like she had taken down a very weak guy, it was still her first kill!

It was first blood!!

From this day forward, I finally have the power to protect Kaguya-sama!!

Just as the girl's heart was filled with joy.

sudden.

Kaguya Shinomiya, who was running towards her, suddenly changed her expression.

"Careful, Hayasaka!"

The moment the girl issued her warning, Hayasaka Ai already sensed something.

She turned her head.

Just then, I saw it: a woman who had somehow gotten onto my shoulder, raising a sharp knife, about to stab my face.

She has no facial features.

His face was completely white, like a writhing, pale piece of flesh.

only……

"knock."

A tall woman in a white dress and straw hat suddenly appeared, grabbed the faceless "spirit" on Hayasaka Ai's back, and stuffed it into a round, pitch-black mouth.

"Ah... thank you, Nanami."

"knock."

The girl breathed a sigh of relief and decided to reflect on her carelessness when she got back.

So there was more than one [spirit] here?

Watching Nanami crawl into the phone booth and devour the man's head, which had been shattered by bullets but was now slowly returning to its original shape.

"Oh, it's the [Gathering Spirits], huh? There seem to be three of them... This doesn't really count as a company, it's more like a convenience store, right? Ah, who's the manager, and who's the employee...?"

Takagawa Takayuki is back.

The boy was carrying a bag filled with drinks in one hand, while in the other hand he was holding a boy named [Ling] who was curled up and crying.

His entire body was deathly pale, except for his hands, which were covered in blood and trembling as he covered his face.

what……

Was it him who made the bloody handprint just now?

Kaguya Shinomiya thought to herself.

"This guy can actually run away. Tokyo's [Spirit] is really intelligent."

"..."

"Here you go, Shinomiya-san's oolong tea and Hayasaka-san's cola."

"Thank you."

He took the drink that Takakawa Takayuki handed him.

The girls saw the boy drop the trembling "Spirit" from his hand to the ground, and then pull out Taira no Masakado's head from the guitar bag he was carrying.

"..."

Watch this scene.

Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka were both a bit annoyed, thinking to themselves, "Your guitar bag really contains everything but guitars, doesn't it?!"

"Ah, I'm eating. Can I have this one, Nanami?"

"knock."

The tall woman in white disappeared from Hayasaka Ai's side.

Takagawa Takayuki and the girls sat on the street, drinking cold drinks and waiting for Taira no Masakado to devour the last phone booth's [spirit].

It took about ten minutes.

So slow.

The "spirits" here are probably only at the "D" or "C" level, the weakest of the weak—although it's a well-known haunted place, the terrifying legends circulating about it are probably all false.

It doesn't match the true spirit at all.

Or perhaps this place was recently "cleaned up" by our peers, and these [spirits] are relatively new, which is why they are so weak.

Even so, I still ate very slowly.

It seems that it will take a very, very long time for Taira no Masakado to naturally regain his strength by devouring his own kind.

Ok……

Are there any other methods?

Gao Chuanlong pondered for a moment, then finished his drink and beckoned the two girls to get into the car.

That's enough for tonight, time to go back to sleep.

"It went very smoothly."

Once in the car, Hayasaka Ai deactivated her transformation and returned to her normal summer girl attire of a T-shirt and shorts.

I saw it again.

OK Band-Aid, that's so disgusting!

Kaguya Shinomiya blushed and looked out the window, feeling a sense of unease about her maid.

So, who taught Hayasaka to do that?!

It couldn't be Takagawa...

That's impossible; a teenager wouldn't do something like that.

Then it must be Fujiwara—no, it must be Fujiwara, only that filthy guy would do something like that!

After all, it can't be Chizuru...

……

"Ah sneeze!"

In the shrine.

The fox-girl who was playing a lewd mobile game suddenly sneezed.

"What's wrong, Chizuru? Is the air conditioner set too low?"

"No."

Yuan Qianhe shook his head as he received a message from Gao Chuanlong.

We're done here and will be right back. Would you like some sake?

【want! 】

He immediately replied with a "Fox Drunk" emoji.

Then came "Fox Kiss".

The fox's thoughts were obvious, and then he received the boy's reply, "OK".

Meanwhile.

Under the cover of night, Takakawa Takayuki, who was driving, suddenly noticed something was amiss.

"Ok?"

"What's wrong, Gao Chuan?"

"Hey, look at that guy up ahead."

As the boy spoke, the two girls sitting in the back seat also craned their necks to look at the front of the car.

then.

I spotted the lonely bridge in the distance under the night sky.

That is……

Nihonbashi?

As a representative building in Chuo Ward, Tokyo, both Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka recognized it immediately.

But what exactly is going on?

I was just in Hachioji, and I've only been driving for a few minutes. How did I suddenly go from the very suburbs to the center of Tokyo?!

Chapter Sixty-Eight: Deliberately "Finding a Partner"

The car kept driving forward.

After passing Nihonbashi, we headed towards Asakusa—this is the location information on the mobile phone map.

Is this really Tokyo?

The two girls were still somewhat incredulous.

After all, it seems "unrealistic" to suddenly appear in such a distant place in just a few minutes.

and.

There was no one outside at the moment.

It's around 1 a.m. now, and no matter what, it's impossible for the city center to be in such a state.

There wasn't a soul in sight; all the shops on both sides of the street were closed, and even the lights were off.

It was as if the entire city had "died".

Only the streetlights stood alone, casting a dim, weak light—something that would never happen in Tokyo!

"Um……"

Takakawa Ryu guessed what was going on.
