I'm raising a fox fairy wife in Tokyo

Even in the dead of night, the thought pops into my head: "I wish it could always be like this."

With this small selfish thought in mind, Kaguya Shinomiya even unconsciously looked towards her thighs, wondering if she could stay with Takagawa forever if the curse of the "Death Mark" remained.

Thinking about such a silly question.

As I walked home, the sun gradually set, leaving only a long, dim yellow streak at the horizon, and most of the sky turned bluish-gray and dim.

This is the time of encountering the demon.

When the two returned to the familiar crossroads.

The girl saw a young boy coming out from inside. He looked a bit strange, as he was wearing a thick scarf around his neck even on a summer night.

At the same time, those who came out were dressed in a very ancient style, like monks from the past.

A tall, young man holding a Zen staff, wearing a bamboo hat, but with long hair.

To say that these two are somewhat normal...

So, the last one, walking out of the convenience store, is over two meters tall and wearing something like a skull necklace—it looks really strange!

Is it a spirit?!

Kaguya Shinomiya was already used to it, but it wasn't what the girl thought.

Gao Chuanlong greeted the other person as if they knew each other.

"Please give my regards to Mr. Nura."

"Thank you for your concern, we will pass it on."

They quickly passed each other.

Kaguya Shinomiya turned her head to watch his departing figure, then looked at the boy beside her with her big, curious eyes.

Gao Chuanlong knew it well, so he answered directly.

"It's a [monster]."

"what?"

"The Nura Clan, who command all the yokai in the Kanto region, I didn't expect them all to be summoned here."

Tokyo is still in chaos. The source of the "Death Mark" has not yet been found, and members of the Possession Cult are being hunted down everywhere.

That's why they notified the yokai of the Kanto region to come and help.

"It sounds like the mafia..."

The Nura Clan and such are just names that sound like yakuza groups!

"Hmm...that's true, pretty much the same."

"Eh?!"

"In short, they are monsters that have been officially incorporated into the government and whose existence is acknowledged. They don't usually operate in cities, but rather in the surrounding villages and small towns, acting as guardian deities or something similar."

The more people there are, the more spirits there are.

However, in sparsely populated rural areas, spirits can occasionally appear. It is impossible for the government to have its staff stationed there year-round to protect every corner of Japan.

Thus, the tradition of cooperating with monsters arose, allowing them to help protect areas outside the city.

Of course, this can also be considered a form of indirect co-optation.

All disobedient monsters will be sealed away;

Powerful, communicative monsters were worshipped as deities.

The remaining cooperative individuals were to be incorporated into factions like the Nura Clan and allowed to govern themselves.

"It doesn't sound that impressive?"

"It's not impressive."

The current successor of the Nura Clan, let alone "S", is probably only at the level of "A", although it may be because he only has one-quarter yokai blood.

But the 21st century is no longer their era, a fact that is widely acknowledged.

The concept of "monsters" is a thing of the past.

"why."

"Because nobody is afraid of them anymore."

Regardless of what kind of non-human being it is, people's fear of it is the main source of power, which is what monsters call "fear".

Some people are still afraid of evil spirits and ghosts.

But when it comes to monsters and such...

Either its image has been turned into a joke, or people have almost no concept of it, or even...

"Very few young people today have read 'Hyakumonogatari' or 'Gazu Hyakki Yagyō' (Illustrated Night Parade of One Hundred Demons), and they probably don't even know all the traditional Japanese yokai."

Even children's science books like "The Complete Book of Japanese Yokai" have hardly been read anymore.

In this situation, how could one possibly be afraid of monsters?

Of course, the most important thing is...

"Modern monsters, under official management, no longer eat people."

Things that pose no threat to life will naturally not evoke fear or dread; this is human nature.

"So, does that mean the monsters of the past were more powerful?"

"Yes, there were great monsters in ancient times."

The prototypes of great yokai from the Heian period, such as Tamamo-no-Mae, Shuten-dōji, and Ōtengu... these guys were basically extremely powerful beings in the "S~" category.

Even the "SS" [Cursed Great Demon King of Japan] is the leader of the tengu.

But there's something even more terrifying—

【Warring States Period】.

That is where several SS-class great demons were born, and each of them ruled the Western Kingdom and the Eastern Kingdom, becoming the true rulers of the demons, and were known as the "Great Rulers".

That's how chaotic times are; all sorts of terrible things will always appear.

The topic ends here.

Near the shrine.

Night fell suddenly, and in the deserted street, a girl dressed in white could be seen standing by the roadside waiting in the distance.

It's a self-inflicted injury child. Recently, this child has started coming to the shrine to have dinner with everyone.

Of course, the main thing was drinking with the big fox.

Because a few days ago.

Kaguya Shinomiya and her friends finally organized an "off-campus group activity" for over a thousand students from Shuchiin Junior High School, taking them to the ruins of Hachioji at night.

Although everyone was quite frightened afterward, the self-slashing boy was extremely happy about it.

So he immediately signed a real contract with himself.

Unlike before, where she was given an item to summon her—items have a limited number of uses, but the contract allows her to summon her anytime, anywhere, an unlimited number of times…

……

Late at night.

In the lively living room, the big fox visibly drank quite a bit of alcohol.

Even before going to bed.

She pushed herself to the bathroom to take a shower, while she, who had already showered with the other girls, said she wanted to give herself a surprise.

Takagawa Takayuki, who knew Minamoto Chizuru very well, knew that she was definitely going to come up with some "new tricks".

I always felt that this fox was in charge of some kind of lewd deity...

Could it be because modern young people always like to go to Inari shrines to pray for marriage?

My mood is simple, though.

Takakawa Ryu thought that Minamoto Chizuru would probably change into her uniform again tonight; they'd done it many times in the past few days.

JK (high school girl), nurse, teacher, office lady, swimsuit, wedding dress... and her main job, shrine maiden.

At most, how about some cosplay today?

Lately, the big fox has been watching anime and such with Fujiwara Chika and the others a lot.

Thinking like this.

After taking a shower, Takagawa Takayuki returned to the living room. Seeing the high mound of bedding on the tatami mats, he skillfully pulled the blankets back.

Then, I saw what was inside...

Hayasaka Ai?

"?"

Suddenly, a large, soft, and fragrant fox hugged her from behind and pushed her towards the girl.

This time.

Takagawa Ryu is completely at a loss.

Chapter Ninety-Five: The Big Fox's "New Trick" (Part Two)

"Are you surprised, are you surprised?!"

"..."

This is such a pleasant surprise, such an unexpected surprise!

Wait, what kind of weird game are you guys playing?!

Why is Hayasaka Ai tied up?!

That's right.

The blonde girl, with her petite and slender figure, was now bound tightly with red cloth, including her hands, feet, and body, and even her eyes were blindfolded and gagged...

This has started going in an absurdly strange direction!

The method of binding people was clearly somewhat crude.

But it was already very deliberate, in order to highlight the girl's slender figure, that the small undulations resembled those of a deer... a rabbit... a pigeon... ah, it should be a pigeon.

Takagawa Takayuki wasn't surprised at all.

Because no matter how much padding she uses outside, she definitely doesn't use padding at home. Plus, Hayasaka Ai likes to wear cool short-sleeved T-shirts and walk around the house with her long, slender white legs.

The point is.

By the dim orange light of the table lamp, the girl, who had been wriggling and whimpering when she lifted the covers, fell silent upon hearing her own and the big fox's voices.

One can easily imagine her eyes gently closing beneath the blindfold.

What's with that resigned look on his face?!

"How was it, Long? Wasn't it much more exciting than usual?"

In my ear, I could still hear the big fox's tingling, devilish whispers.

"Whew, it really works! I feel so energized!"

What exactly are you referring to as "spirit"?

"I also……"

That must have been really tough on you!

"What exactly are you doing?"

"That's what the book says, isn't it really exciting?"

Before the big fox could even pull the so-called "book" out of the TV cabinet, Takakawa Ryu knew it was definitely something incomplete!

then.
