I'm raising a fox fairy wife in Tokyo

Something seems wrong.

Why would someone who has possessed two of Sukuna's fingers suddenly appear and challenge the courtesan?

Isn't that just asking for death...?

Furthermore, Takagawa Takayuki, who had reunited with the two girls on the distant rooftop, only remembered this again after being reminded by Shinomiya Kaguya.

"Takagawa, where did those [escort girls' spirits] go? And also... wasn't there supposed to be an altar in the hotel, some kind of church holding some kind of ceremony? Where is the altar?"

"Is it somewhere in Yoshiwara? Or is it..."

……

It rained at night.

A doll dressed in a red wedding gown is holding a strange, pure white statue in its arms.

It has the horns of a goat, the head of a lion, the face of a handsome and gentle man, and a slender and long body and limbs. It sits cross-legged with wings like those of an angel growing from its back.

The doll slowly walked out of the hotel and entered the car, where it transformed into a young girl named Meili, dressed in a black Western-style dress.

She took out her phone and dialed the number of the president of the possession association.

"The statue of the demon god Marbas has been recovered."

The girl reported on her day's achievements with a regretful tone.

"However, everyone who came with them is dead, including Erlang."

They're not really dead.

Instead, she went to contribute to her older brother's cause.

Gaining my brother's trust is difficult, but it's okay, I'll try my best, and...

There's an old saying in the East.

A person with an upright character has nothing to fear from a crooked shadow!

I'm on my brother's side, so why would I be afraid of him suspecting me?

Smiling, she finally put her phone away.

As Mei sat in the driver's seat, she suddenly seemed to remember something and waved to the dark alleyway in the distance outside the car window.

Shortly after.

A girl in a red raincoat slowly walked out, hesitated for a moment, but finally got into the car.

"After tonight, this hotel will cease to exist. You might as well come with us."

"That's what Mary said."

Without waiting for the girl in the raincoat's reply, he started the car and drove off into the night rain towards the city lights that were gradually coming on in the distance...

……

Chapter 78 Fukuro Jinji: Let's go! Let's take down Gojo Satoru together!!

When they left the abandoned hotel, a light drizzle was still falling. Gao Chuanlong glanced at the time and realized it was around four in the morning.

"what……"

I need to drive from Asakusa back to Hachioji.

Once you've "gotten a partner," you can't go back to them afterwards.

In front of the hotel.

Many cars were parked there, and under the streetlights, there were scattered remains of limbs, most of which had been eaten away.

Takagawa Ryu completely ignored her, and instead curiously cast his gaze into the dark alleys surrounding the abandoned hotel, before realizing that the girl in the red raincoat had indeed left.

"Get in the car."

"Um……"

The girls sat in the back seat. Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka were still in disbelief that Chizuru, who had just come to their side, was actually real!

That's amazing!!

They came running as soon as I called their name, that's...

"Because the gods are everywhere~"

The big fox said this.

Then, the girls' conversation turned to how adorable Chizuru was, dressed in a red and white shrine maiden outfit.

She's absolutely adorable!

Especially the loose, pure white top, its terrifyingly grandeur makes it look like two huge peaches...

It's raining.

Gao Chuanlong drove his car towards his home in the distance.

The tall buildings along the way were lit up, proving that everything tonight was over.

"Gao Chuan, what exactly was in there just now?"

Kaguya Shinomiya asked curiously.

After "winning over" the courtesan, both the boy and girl thought of a problem that had almost been overlooked: where exactly was the hotel's altar?

And then there's the "compensated dating girl Rei" who arrived in Yoshiwara, and where did she take those gangster corpses with her?

The result is.

Kaguya Shinomiya obtained another clue from a courtesan named Koi Natsu.

She said that there are indeed girls dressed strangely who come to Yoshiwara from time to time, and then...

So they followed the other person's directions.

Takagawa Takayuki and the girls found the wooden house hidden deep in a street in Yoshiwara, and saw the old bronze door with an inverted pentagram engraved on it, which was completely out of place in Japan's Edo period.

[Symbols of Satan and the Devil].

What does an inverted pentagram represent? For girls who have recently been diligently studying horror and the occult, this is practically a freebie.

Gao Chuanlong entered the bronze door alone, and came out again shortly afterward.

There was indeed an altar behind the door, but...

"Nothing at all."

The boy driving the car said this.

This is a fact.

Inside, besides the layers upon layers of mangled corpses of gangsters piled up in the deep pit, the statues that should have been enshrined on the altar had disappeared.

It was probably taken by that doll girl named Princess Kaguya.

However, the altar bore the mark of the being worshipped, and Takagawa Takayuki recognized it immediately.

That's [Marbas].

The fifth of the seventy-two demons of Solomon, it is said to possess the ability to discover the truth of everything, and nothing or no one can hide from it.

In addition, it possesses the power of healing, resurrection, and transformation related to the human body.

It represents "wisdom".

The abandoned hotel was formerly the site of a cult that worshipped a demon god of Satanism and actually practiced some form of human sacrifice.

In this regard.

Takagawa Takayuki was not surprised.

In ancient times, Japan was largely influenced by the culture of major Eastern powers, but in modern times, it has been most deeply influenced by the culture of Europe and America.

This fusion of East and West has created many strange things, just like the "Death Mark" which also originated in Europe.

Now everything is connected.

The cult, which originally ran an abandoned hotel, used the Yoshiwara that already existed in Asakusa to build and hide the altar of the demon god.

Simultaneously.

Using gangsters to control hotels, recruiting young girls for sacrifice, and performing various strange rituals—Takagawa Ryu thought of the "Jorōgumo's Punishment" that created the girl in the red raincoat.

The surviving followers said that it would give birth to "new life," which was related to the abilities that Marbas possessed.

Furthermore, those who possess bodies need even more powerful physical bodies capable of withstanding the [spirit].

That makes perfect sense.

The abandoned hotel was originally a place where the possessed beings conducted experiments.

It just happened one day.

Perhaps because of Yoshiwara, these sacrificed escort girls and the girl in the red raincoat have all transformed into vengeful spirits.

They killed most of the hotel's guests, along with the gangsters and cult members who controlled them, and even continued to use their corpses as sacrifices to the demon god as revenge.

just.

Why did the possessors suddenly want to take away the demon statue that existed here?

What are you planning to do?

After all, the problem with the abandoned hotel a few years ago has persisted, and it's been sitting there ever since. Is it because of Yoshiwara that it can't be recycled?

Or perhaps there are other reasons...

……

It was almost six o'clock when we got back to the shrine.

The bluish-gray light of summer suddenly appeared in the distance.

Takagawa Takayuki and the girls—including Shijo Maki and Fujiwara Chika, who were waiting at home and hadn't slept either—had been busy all night.

After quickly washing up, they all went back to their rooms and drifted off to sleep.

in this way……

When I woke up groggily in the soft embrace of the big fox.

It was already evening when Takagawa Takayuki discovered it.

All I could hear was a lot of noise.

It wasn't Kaguya Shinomiya and the others; the girls seemed to still be asleep. The living room was dim, with only a few rays of sunlight streaming in through one of the windows.

Noisy sounds.

It was coming from the guitar case in the entryway.

"You wretched woman, stay away from me!! Or I'll tear you to pieces!!"

"Ha, what a useless man, drained dry by me."

"What did you say?! It's just because I was ambushed by that brat! Watch your words, woman. In my eyes, you are nothing but a tiny ant!!"

"..."

Open the guitar bag.

Takagawa Ryu took out the cat Sukuna, who had regained its vitality and was panting angrily, from inside.

And, the cat courtesan, also contained in a spare doll.

"You ignorant woman, do you know who I am?! How dare you speak to me like that?! Kneel down and kowtow a thousand times right now and I'll forgive you!!"

"Ha, what a useless man, drained dry by me."

"Arrogant! You reckless woman!! I'll tear you to pieces!!!"

"Ha, what a useless man, drained dry by me."

"I'll kill you! I ...

"Ha, what a useless man, drained dry by me."
