On this day, like glass shattered by Natsume Ryo with a heavy hammer, it broke into countless pieces, never to be pieced back together.

……

soon.

The two arrived at Yukino's apartment.

—Located on a floor of a high-security luxury apartment building.

When Natsume Ryo carried Yukino Yukinoshita in her cat form, he bypassed various security systems and went directly to the balcony of the apartment where Yukino Yukinoshita currently lived.

I saw.

The living room was brightly lit, and all the items were neatly arranged.

—The snack wrappers carelessly tossed on the sofa and the half-empty bottle of soda on the coffee table clearly reveal the personality of the apartment's "new owner."

"..."

Seeing this, Yukino Yukinoshita, who was being held in Natsume Ryo's arms, was furious.

This is her home!

And now that cat demon has ruined him like this!

"It seems that this cat demon lady is quite adept at adapting to human life."

Natsume Ryo's gaze swept over the snack bags, his tone clearly playful.

"There!"

Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly struggled, her furry paws pointing towards the tightly closed bedroom door.

Natsume Ryo looked in the direction she pointed, nodded, and carried her slowly toward the bedroom.

The bedroom door was unlocked, and Natsume Ryo opened it with a gentle push.

The room was dimly lit, with only a bedside lamp on.

On Yukino's large bed covered with light-colored sheets.

A familiar figure lay on his side, covered by a blanket, seemingly fast asleep.

Natsume Ryo carried Yukino Yukinoshita into the room.

From Natsume Ryo's perspective, you can see that sleeping profile is exquisite and perfect.

It was Yukinoshita Yukino.

However, the body currently occupied is that of a wicked cat demon.

It was lost in a sweet dream, its lips even slightly upturned, emitting soft, contented snores.

"..."

Seeing her own defenseless sleeping face, and the cat demon shamelessly using her body to have a sweet dream, Yukino Yukinoshita was so angry that her cat fur almost stood on end.

"..."

Seeing this, Natsume Ryo reached out and gently flicked Yukino Yukinoshita's fluffy little head with his finger, signaling her to calm down first.

Followed by.

Natsume Ryo's thoughts stirred slightly.

……

Chapter 76 The Cat Demon's Backer, Yasaka Akihiro, a General Under the White-Faced, Golden-Haired Nine-Tailed Fox!

With a slight thought, Natsume Ryo instantly applied a series of negative buffs to the cat spirit possessing Yukino Yukinoshita, ensuring that nothing went wrong.

"Um……"

soon.

Yukino Yukinoshita gradually awoke, letting out a soft moan of unbearable discomfort. Her brows furrowed slightly, and her long eyelashes trembled a few times.

"My body... feels so heavy..."

The cat demon slowly opened its eyes.

Suddenly I felt weak all over, unable to muster any strength, as if all my energy had been drained away.

My limbs felt like they were filled with lead, incredibly heavy, and even lifting a single finger was extremely difficult.

How is this going?

The cat demon struggled to sit up, but found that its body wouldn't obey its commands, and it could only futilely twist and turn on the bed a few times.

Followed by.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a figure standing by the bed.

I saw.

—It was a tall boy, holding a black cat in his arms, standing by the bed watching her.

"!!"

When he saw Natsume Ryo's face clearly, and the black cat in his arms staring intently at him with its icy blue eyes.

The cat demon's pupils suddenly contracted, and a strong sense of unease surged within him!

……

"Yo..."

"Looks like you're sleeping quite soundly."

Natsume Ryo looked at the cat demon's face, which was contorted with panic, and smiled slightly, greeting him in a relaxed tone.

"You...who are you?!"

"W-what do you want to do?!"

"Why...my body..."

The cat demon clearly realized that the strange condition in its body was definitely related to Natsume Ryo!

However, Natsume Ryo did not answer her question.

Instead, he lowered his head and gently scratched Yukino Yukinoshita's chin.

Although the latter still stared warily at "itself" on the bed, its body responded to the former's caresses with a rather honest soft snoring sound.

"Meow..."

Immediately afterwards, Yukino Yukinoshita came to her senses, and her icy blue cat eyes glared at Ryo Natsume with a hint of embarrassment and annoyance, protesting his knowingly provocative flirting.

"After all, if I don't touch Yukinoshita now, I might not have the chance to touch her later..."

"do not be angry."

Natsume Ryo chuckled softly, turning his gaze back to the cat demon on the bed, who was now completely panicked.

"Alright, now it's time to return it to its rightful owner."

After Natsume Ryo finished speaking, his mind stirred again, and another command was constructed deep within his consciousness.

This time, it's not about inflicting negative status effects, but rather a more fundamental operation at the soul level.

【/swapentitiese【name=Nekoyo】e【name=Yukino Yukinoshita】】

—Forced soul swap!

Om-!

A spatial fluctuation, even stronger than before, suddenly spread out from Natsume Ryo as the center!

Yukino Yukinoshita and the black cat in Natsume Ryo's arms trembled violently at the same time, as if an invisible electric current had passed through them.

……

"Ugh——!"

The cat demon felt as if its consciousness had been grabbed by an invisible hand and violently torn out of its warm and comfortable human body!

The excruciating pain and panic of having her soul ripped away caused her to let out a silent scream.

The world is spinning!

Countless bizarre and colorful lights flashed before my eyes, and my consciousness felt as if it had been thrown into a high-speed spinning washing machine, completely losing its direction.

at the same time.

Yukino's soul has finally returned to her body, which she had been away from for several days.

just.

—The human soul is ultimately different from that of a demon.

Unable to withstand the continuous strain, Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly lost consciousness again.

"..."

Looking at the delicate face on the bed, which had regained its original charm but was now in a deep sleep due to weakness, Natsume Ryo shook his head slightly.

"As expected, the soul strength is still a bit lacking."

After finishing speaking, Natsume Ryo bent down and supported Yukino Yukinoshita's limp body.

Let her lie back down on the bed and cover herself with the blanket.

After doing all this, Natsume Ryo turned his gaze back to the cat demon that had returned to the black cat's body.

"Alright, since Yukinoshita needs to rest."

Natsume Ryo lifted the cat demon by the soft flesh of its neck and said calmly.

"Now, it's time for us to have a proper private talk."

"Cat demon... Miss."

Natsume Ryo paused, glanced at the cat demon, and carefully determined its true gender.

I walked into the living room and casually tossed it onto the floor.

……

"Meow--!"

With a piercing cry of pain, the black cat rolled seven or eight times on the smooth wooden floor before finally coming to a stop after hitting a sofa leg.

I saw.

It shook its dizzy little head, used all four paws to scramble to its feet, its back arching instantly, its black fur standing on end like an enraged hedgehog, and let out a threatening hissing growl as it stared intently at Natsume Ryo.

This human has some nerve, meow!

How dare you treat me so rudely!

The cat demon was both shocked and furious. She had never been treated like this before. She was always the most beloved in her tribe, but she never expected to suffer such a huge setback at the hands of a seemingly ordinary human boy.

"You, you bastard! Do you even know who I am, meow?!"

"Release me now, or when the White-Faced Golden-Haired Nine-Tailed Fox finds out, she will surely grind you, you ignorant human, to dust!"

The cat demon screamed fiercely, trying to intimidate the other party with the immense power behind it.

After all, the title "White-faced Golden-haired Nine-tailed Fox" is a well-known name in the Japanese yokai world, and it can be considered the pinnacle of the fox spirit clan.

Even ordinary powerful demons would have to take a detour if they heard of it.

Not to mention mere humans!

She refused to believe that this human could remain calm upon hearing the name of the white-faced, golden-haired, nine-tailed fox!

however--

What this cat demon didn't know was...

Ryo Natsume is a complete outsider.

but.

Ryo Natsume had heard of the legend of the "white-faced, golden-haired, nine-tailed fox," a yokai from modern Japanese folklore, which was listed alongside Shuten-dōji and Ōtengu as one of the "Three Great Evil Yokai of Japan."
