I'm raising a fox fairy wife in Tokyo

The tram doors were opened.

Then, a girl dressed in a JK uniform walked in, her steps light and humming a tune.

"It's alright, it's Chizuru who's here."

The boy's voice reached her ears, which reassured Kaguya Shinomiya considerably.

"Look down, don't look at her face."

Eh?

What does "Don't look at her face" mean?

Then Kaguya Shinomiya realized that even though it was pitch black in front of her, the other person's figure was incredibly clear, as if a spotlight had been shone on him from somewhere.

The girl quickly lowered her head as instructed.

What they saw next was a woman wearing black leather boots, pure white cotton socks, and a skirt that didn't even reach her knees. Moreover, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight... fox tails stretched out from under the skirt. She walked gracefully in front of the two of them.

The target of the other side is Takagawa Takayuki.

Kaguya Shinomiya could sense it, but at the same time, she could also see that "she" had glanced at her.

The pressure is immense!

It wasn't the heaviness I felt after being cursed before, nor was it that biting cold.

Rather, it was pure, immense pressure.

My gaze involuntarily began to slowly rise.

Looking past the woman's slender waist, I could see the bright yellow uniform she was wearing.

as well as.

so big!

It's really big!

From the vast, black shadow that almost completely obscured her view, Kaguya Shinomiya sensed an indescribable difference in their abilities...

……

So this is what it means to bow your head?!

Even without losing her breasts, Kaguya Shinomiya would find it difficult to withstand such a blow.

after all.

Compared to the bean gun, the terrifying thing before us is at least on the level of an intercontinental ballistic missile.

That's true...

That's absolutely terrifying!!

Chapter Seven is an illusion! Shinomiya-kun, you've fallen under an illusion!!

"pat".

The tram lights came on again, and everything returned to normal.

"Are you alright? Chizuru is a bit clingy, that's how it is."

"Chizuru..."

Kaguya Shinomiya remembered that it seemed to be the name of the large fox in the shrine.

"Scared by her? Ah, probably jealous. After all, Shinomiya is a beautiful girl too."

Was that the big fox that just arrived?!

That's supposed to be the "Fox Goddess," how could she be a girl with an "intercontinental ballistic missile"?!

And she was even wearing a JK uniform!

Is the fox spirit some kind of high school girl? Shouldn't she at least be wearing a kimono?!

"Huh? You saw a girl in a JK uniform? Well, it's an illusion, an illusion."

"..."

real or fake?

"Does Shinomiya-kun really think that the foxes in this world will turn into humans?"

"That's entirely possible."

No.

I'd say it's definitely certain!

With so many demons and monsters already, it's actually more normal for a fox to turn into a human!

"That's impossible! A fox turning into a human is like hoping your cat turns into a girl—it's the number one, completely unreliable otaku fantasy. Of course, the number two, the otaku fantasy of traveling to another world, is possible."

"Another world is truly impossible!"

Just how much do you want to go to another world?!

"Because I want to become a hero and save the world."

"Eh?!"

"Then there's the arrogant loli elf archer who's in the party, the busty and aloof blonde female knight, the super-stunned but seemingly carefree female demon mage, and the succubus sisters, the demon queen mother and daughter, and..."

"Don't say such vulgar things in front of girls in a serious manner!!"

And what kind of other world is this?!

It's even less likely to exist now!!

"It exists, it absolutely exists."

"!!!"

It hardened, the fist really hardened...

"So, what Takagawa just saw wasn't a high school girl?"

"It's a fox, just like the one at home."

Takagawa Ryu wasn't lying.

From his perspective, just now, after the tram doors opened, a large fox wearing a kimono stepped in.

"That's strange...why is that?"

"I already said it's an illusion. Shinomiya-kun has fallen under an illusion."

"But I didn't see her face."

"It has nothing to do with that. I told you not to look at their faces because I was worried about some unexpected things happening—the Japanese fox spirits... no, almost 70% of the Japanese deities actually came from across the sea, you know what I mean."

"what……"

Kaguya Shinomiya certainly understood.

Much of Japanese culture originated from things that came across the sea.

"Therefore, according to legend, foxes are all extremely beautiful women. When they activate their abilities, it is best for ordinary people not to look at their faces, otherwise no one knows what might happen."

"What about Takagawa?"

"Of course I can watch, because Chizuru is my wife."

"Eh?"

So she got married at eighteen?!

She got married when she was three years old.

"That's illegal!!"

"No, we have a marriage certificate."

"..."

I'm speechless. I have absolutely no idea where to even begin to criticize it.

Kaguya Shinomiya decides to change the subject.

"what is that?"

The girl saw that Takagawa Takayuki had a wooden sword in his hand. It looked quite old and even emitted a faint smell of miso soup.

among them.

It also bears the inscription "戡鬼滅殺" (meaning "extermination of evil spirits").

How strange, what's with this subtle feeling?

The boy seemed a little embarrassed.

"It's nothing, Chizuru brought it."

Gao Chuanlong didn't explain further, but instead put away the wooden sword.

I really don't know what to say.

because……

Just now, when Chizuru handed over this wooden sword, the instant she grasped it...

Gao Chuanlong sensed it.

Deep within my own heart, in that boundless, pitch-black space, hangs a sword.

It trembled slightly.

This is……

Has the cheat code been activated?

……

When we arrived in Saitama, it was already past 1 a.m.

There were hardly any people on the street, and the streetlights were flickering, creating a rather unpleasant atmosphere.

The summer night felt somewhat heavy.

The stars and moon were obscured by thick, dark clouds, and the vast expanse of night shrouded the houses in the distance, making only their somewhat distorted outlines barely discernible.

"Ahead lies our destination, the home of the killer who imprisoned girls and cut off their breasts."

"Um……"

At this moment, Takagawa Takayuki and Shinomiya Kaguya had arrived in front of a rather secluded house.

terrible.

How terrifying! Is this what they call a "haunted house"?!

and……

"Gao Chuan, did you notice?"

"what."

The young man nodded.

"It seems like we're going to have to upgrade our rating from C to B. We're not just some weakling anymore."

There are eyes watching from behind.

They weren't just staring at Kaguya Shinomiya, they were also staring at themselves.

This is strange; it's one thing to see the cursed girl as "prey," but to include oneself as well.

Is it the type that specifically hunts down fellow hunters?

They deliberately adopt a humble attitude, uttering seemingly harmless curses, then instruct the victim to seek professional help before killing them together.

Have the spirits in Tokyo evolved to this level of intelligence?

"wrong."
