I'm raising a fox fairy wife in Tokyo

Tilted his head.

Gao Chuanlong suddenly turned around and walked towards an alley on the side. A short while later, he grabbed a girl from inside.

"Haasaka?!"

The blonde girl was about the same age as Kaguya Shinomiya, clearly a middle school student, and wore the exact same school uniform.

However, most of them are very fashionable.

Her side ponytail swayed gently, and she sported exquisite makeup and beautiful manicure, looking every bit the sexy girl.

But her earnest and reliable expression made her seem completely unlike a young girl.

Hayasaka Ai.

Kaguya Shinomiya's personal maid, bodyguard, and best friend.

Even though he is only fifteen or sixteen years old now, he is already quite capable under the family's training—from the perspective of an ordinary human.

"Ms. Kaguya."

"Why did you follow me?! I told you not to..."

"I'm really worried."

Kaguya Shinomiya always has a tracking device on her body.

When traveling, they are usually picked up and dropped off by the family's butler and bodyguards in private cars.

But tonight's situation is special.

The girl came to find Takagawa Takayuki alone.

This was also something Kaguya's father specifically instructed her to do. As the head of the Shinomiya family, he clearly knew that apart from "professionals," the subordinates trained by the family couldn't help with this kind of thing.

"Hayasaka, go back now."

The two girls had a very good relationship.

Kaguya Shinomiya's face was cold. Although Takagawa Takayuki had seemed relaxed the whole way, she was still worried that if Hayasaka Ai was dragged into this, she might also suffer...

Didn't the boy say that?

For ordinary people, it's best not to open this door.

If you know nothing, you can continue living an ordinary daily life.

"But Kaguya-sama..."

"Did you hear me?! Hayasaka, this is an order, go back immediately!!"

"It's all here."

Gao Chuanlong interrupted the two girls' argument and quieted them down.

"Besides, it's too late. Um... Hayasaka-san, did you feel someone watching you from behind?"

"Um……"

although.

The blonde girl who had been following the two had been discovered by Takagawa Takayuki.

But even now, the gaze directed at us from behind hasn't disappeared.

now.

All three were seen as prey by the other.

"So let's go. In a horror movie, splitting up at a time like this is suicidal. You two stick close to me."

He stopped paying attention to the gazes behind him.

Gao Chuanlong strode forward, leading the two girls toward the "haunted house" ahead.

At the same time...

in the dark.

Someone grinned widely and licked their lips.

He rubbed the sharp knife in his hand and began to imagine the blade slicing through the girl's delicate skin, carving out her soft, precious treasure that symbolized maternal love, and savoring the sweet taste of it.

Fat is truly the most delicious food in the world...

……

Chapter Eight: Even Spirits "Choose a Partner"

Upon closer inspection, I realized that the house was even larger than it appeared.

It is not the typical detached house.

Even in Saitama City, which is considered a remote area, the house has at least 200 square meters on the first floor alone, with a total of three floors and a large yard.

The total area should exceed 300 square meters.

But it's not a luxury mansion.

The wooden house was old and neglected, appearing quite dilapidated and even emitting a strange, rotten smell.

The walls and eaves were almost completely moldy, giving the impression that they were about to collapse.

Between the windows on the third floor.

A dark figure flashed by from time to time.

However, even Kaguya Shinomiya is no longer intimidated by such "high-energy" moments.

“In recent months, there have been disappearances in the neighborhood, and the victims are all women…”

Hayasaka Ai continued to share the information collected by the Shinomiya family.

"But it didn't exist before."

"Ah."

"Could it be... a seal? The previous [spirit] was sealed, but something happened recently that caused the seal to be broken, so it came out and started causing trouble."

Kaguya Shinomiya's calm analysis.

In an instant, the girl, who already looked cold and aloof, appeared incredibly professional.

"Or perhaps it wasn't transformed into a [Spirit] back then, and only now has it happened..."

"Ah, either way is possible."

Gao Chuanlong nodded and said.

"Shinomiya-san's guess is correct."

"Well!"

Even though I was praised, I'm still so nervous!

Almost instinctively, the two girls stayed close to Gao Chuanlong.

As the boy entered the courtyard.

The soil beneath their feet felt like a swamp, giving them a rather ominous sensation. At the same time, they could faintly hear a woman's wailing coming from deep within the house.

“This… Takagawa-kun.”

Compared to Kaguya Shinomiya.

When it comes to addressing people, Hayasaka Ai is less reserved.

"According to you, why not call 'spirits' 'good spirits'? That way, according to the so-called theory of the power of words, ghosts and monsters would all become benevolent beings..."

"Because that won't work either."

Just now, Takagawa Ryu briefly told Hayasaka Ai some "industry common sense" that he had previously told Shinomiya Kaguya.

"The kindness of [Ling] is not the kind that normal people can understand. You will understand later."

I don't understand at all...

Also.

Hayasaka Ai has another question.

"Why did you have to come along, Kaguya-san? After you've obtained the data and information, you should be able to come by yourself, right?"

"It's lonely going out to work alone late at night, of course I want a pretty girl to keep me company..."

Kidding.

Takagawa Ryu noticed that Hayasaka Ai seemed much more serious than Shinomiya Kaguya, so he answered the girl's question just as seriously.

"The one who is cursed is Shinomiya-kun, and she is the only one targeted by this [Spirit that Curses People's Chests to Disappear]. If I came alone, I wouldn't be able to find her."

"You can understand it that way, but of course, the specific explanation is quite complicated."

Hayasaka Ai seemed to understand, but not quite.

Kaguya Shinomiya seemed to understand completely.

such as.

Why didn't I see any "self-reproaching children" on the streets when I went to the shrine? And why couldn't I see many "spirits" on the streets of Tokyo before I met Takagawa Takamori?

There is only one reason.

The "objects" that those "spirits" were actually Takagawa Takamori. It was because she was by his side and was indeed being entangled by another "spirit" that she saw them.

"You got it right, Shinomiya-kun is a genius."

"..."

I was praised again.

But why do I feel inexplicably scared? What kind of world does this boy usually live in? How come there are spirits everywhere he goes when he goes out?!

"In conclusion, let's begin the investigation."

He pushed open the door of the house.

The entryway was pitch black, and under the light of a flashlight, it was covered in some kind of vomit-like filth and slime.

Walls, floor, shoe racks...

It's everywhere.

It was also filled with an indescribable smell, as if stomach acid, alcohol, and all sorts of other things were mixed together and eventually turned into an incredibly authentic Indian paste.

The sticky feeling made the air itself seem nauseating.

I just heard faint cries of a woman outside.

It's even more obvious now.

"The objective is to locate the enemy's [coffin] and destroy it. Please stay close to me."

No need for Takagawa Ryu to explain.

Kaguya Shinomiya had already subconsciously grabbed the hem of the boy's vest.

Hayasaka Ai hesitated for a moment, but did as instructed anyway.

"How to do?"

Kaguya Shinomiya was puzzled. The boy had demonstrated how to find the coffin, and she felt that he had only seen the solution process and obtained the answer, but did not understand the specific calculation ideas and principles.

And to this.

This naturally falls under the category of professionals.

"Let's re-identify the suspect."

"Jiro Yagi, 41 years old, unemployed, suspected to be the [spirit that curses people to have their breasts disappear]..."

The Shinomiya family possesses comprehensive intelligence, including top-secret official files that require a certain level of "strength" to obtain.

They dug up almost the entirety of Yagijiro's life from childhood to adulthood.
