Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful fox

That leaves only the girl with glasses...

Ah, how is it possible? How could such a quiet and intellectual beauty be so perverted?

It should be someone from another table!

cough cough.

after an hour.

The fox, who had no idea what had happened to the dishes he had used, returned to the station near his home with his loyal accomplice, the lady.

However, just as they were about to leave the station, Ijichi Kikuri suddenly received a phone call.

It seems that it was Yui Sakai who called.

After a while, Ijichi Kikuri hung up the phone, called Hoshino Hideyuki, turned her head slightly, and said in an unnatural tone: "Well, I want to go to the exhibition hall to take a look, can you accompany me?"

The fox narrowed his eyes.

Such an abrupt request, it seems like there is some trouble?

So the fox nodded decisively and said:

"No."

Ijichi Kikuri:?

"Why did you say no even though you nodded?"

Are you a fox (curry) from India?

The fox put his hands behind his back and paced with a very frivolous look, "What I mean is that my attitude now is ambiguous. What it will become in the end depends on someone's performance~"

Ichichi Kikuri rubbed his temple and said, "I'll treat you to Sichuan cuisine tomorrow night."

"I'm going the day after tomorrow too~"

"Uh, okay."

"Deal then~"

The transaction was successful, and the fox followed the accomplice lady for two more stops. After leaving the station, they arrived at a commercial street.

On both sides of the street, many shops have colorful lights hung at their doors. In the square at the end, stands a tall pine tree with a golden five-pointed star on the top.

There are countless couples around me, walking in pairs and whispering to each other.

Just at this moment, a light snow fell from the sky, and the tiny crystal flakes of ice fell on the colorful lights, on the branches of the pine trees, and on the heads of the lovers, adding the final and most crucial touch of atmosphere to the scenery that everyone had carefully arranged.

The fox blinked.

He suddenly remembered that tomorrow is Christmas and today is Christmas Eve. According to the custom here in Japan...

Hey.

He turned around and looked.

The accomplice lady's face had already turned red.

Chapter 146 The Fox Wraps Himself as a Christmas Gift

"You just realized it..."

Noticing the fox's gaze, the accomplice lady muttered.

The fox smiled slightly without saying anything, but stretched out his hand which had been shrunk in his sleeve for fear of the cold. After the accomplice lady took a sneak peek, she snorted softly and held his hand with her fingers interlocked.

After feeling the warmth in the other person's palm, she also raised the corners of her mouth and smiled.

The two held hands and walked in the light snow until they arrived in front of the exhibition hall.

Ijichi Kikuri opened the door.

Because there were no performances scheduled today, there were no audience members in the performance hall. However, when the lights came on, the sound of drums could be heard from the stage.

"I have been waiting for a long time!"

Sakai Yui smiled with narrowed eyes and waved.

"Remember? I told you I wanted to sing a song for you..."

Ijichi Kikuri lowered her head slightly and whispered to Hoshino Hideyuki: "The confession on the sea was too crude, so... I want to do it again in the form of music during Christmas. Can, can I..."

After that, she leaned forward, gently kissed Hoshino Hideyuki on the cheek, then walked onto the stage and picked up the guitar on the ground.

Hoshino Hideo walked to the bottom of the stage and stood upright.

Then, a beautiful prelude sounded.

Ijichi Kikuri's eyes moved, and she mobilized all her strength and emotions to play her own music towards the fox, her only audience.

"?From the day we met, you have taken away my whole heart...?"

"?For you who have lost your smile in the hustle and bustle of the day, I offer you all the brightest tomorrows you can imagine...?"

"?Before you fall into the night that never breaks, come and take my hand...?"

The fox recognized that this was a song composed by Ijichi Kikuri two years ago.

As for the melody, it was somewhat similar to the Japanese song "Running Towards the Night" that he had heard in his previous life. It was equally beautiful and lovely, a little weird but full of emotion.

As for the lyrics, although the theme is also love, there is a bit of darkness hidden in it, which seems a bit incompatible with the Christmas atmosphere.

But the fox knew that Yidizhijuli didn't pick this song for no reason.

He had mentioned this song several times during their daily interactions over the previous few months, and Ijichi Kikuri must have taken note of it, thinking that the fox would definitely like it, so she played it herself.

Yeah, it was carefully prepared based on the audience's habits~

In that case, it’s okay for the lyrics to be a little dark.

Besides, since this is a Tokyo urban story about a fraudster, a monster and his accomplices, it’s just right that the background music is a bit weird and dark~

The fox laughed even more happily.

Out of the corner of his eye he saw a basket of glow sticks at the door, so he pulled out two and waved them vigorously!

Since he is the only audience member at the moment, he must cheer for the musicians on the stage!

The two minutes passed quickly.

The song reaches its final guitar solo.

Yui Sakai had quietly left at some point, and the only one left on the stage was Kikuri Ijichi, who was fully committed to the performance.

It wasn't until the last note resounded throughout the performance hall and Fox applauded that she put down her guitar and slowly walked off the stage.

At this moment, her face was flushed, her curved eyelashes were trembling, her fair forehead was covered with crystal beads of sweat, and a few naughty strands of hair were stuck to it.

She came up to the fox and said softly:

"What I wanted to say has already been sung out..."

"Well, the fox heard it~"

As Hoshino Hideyuki said this, he took the initiative to hug Ijichi Kikuri's body, and slowly moved his face closer until the tip of his nose could feel the hot breath of the other person...

then……

The plum blossoms fall on the water and the dragonflies touch the tips of the lotus leaves.

For a long time, the lips are divided.

After savoring it for a few seconds, Ijichi Kikuri happily buried her head in the fox's chest and whispered:

"There are other gifts, turn back!"

Hoshino Hideyuki turned his head and saw a small food truck parked in front of the entrance to the underground corridor.

He walked over and took a closer look, and found that it was a cart full of desserts!

Cakes, biscuits, puddings, chocolates... there is a wide variety of them. Although the shapes are generally irregular, you can tell that the makers put a lot of effort into them and use solid ingredients.

Ichichi Kiuri said, "I made all of this myself, you... you must eat it anyway!"

"Received~"

Hoshino Hideyuki responded with a smile: "Just watch! I'll eat them all now!"

After saying that, he lowered his head and started tasting the chocolate.

“Delicious~”

Ijichi Kikuri stood behind the fox, watching the other party enjoying her gift, and couldn't help but smile happily.

But after a while.

Seeing that the fox had nothing else to say, she seemed to have really focused all her attention on the dessert and no longer cared about anything else. A hint of loneliness flashed in her eyes...

Forget it, a dead fox is like this, there is nothing to look forward to...

"You're looking forward to it, right?"

But at this moment, the fox suddenly raised his head and raised his eyebrows at Ichichi Kikuri: "After giving you the carefully prepared Christmas gift, you must be looking forward to a return gift, right?"

"Yes~"

"All your previous performances were lies. How could a smart fox forget an important date?"

As soon as the words fell, the fox turned around...

The next second, a big gift box appeared under his feet, and he turned back into his original fox form, with red ribbons wrapped around his body, and squatted in the gift box.

"This is my Christmas present, Fox~"

"Huh? Huh!"

Looking at the fox who had packaged herself, Ijichi Kikuri was stunned.

But then...

puff!

With a puff of smoke, the gift box, ribbon and fox disappeared again.

After turning back into human form, Hoshino Hideyuki put his hands on his hips and said:

"Ha, I'm just kidding. Actually, the real gift has already been given to you. Just look in your pocket~"

"?"

The corners of Ichichi Kikuri's mouth twitched, she reached into her pocket, and then...

Took out a small toothpick.

"??"

"Well, this is... never mind, small ones are cute too..."

As soon as she finished speaking, the effect of the seventy-two transformations disappeared, and the toothpick suddenly grew bigger, and then bigger, and finally turned into a mace made of an unknown metal, black and red, with majestic spikes!

"Hey!"

“This is my Christmas present~”

Hoshino Hideyuki looked at the shocked Ijichi Kikuri and nodded with satisfaction:

"Since you want to fight alongside me, how can you not have a weapon? So I asked an old cat demon for one, called Kaishan Wan. Try it, how does it feel?"

call!

call! !

"The feel? Of course it is...excellent!"

It was the first Christmas gift she received from a fox. She was so happy that she waved her mace around!

Although it sounds a bit weird for a boyfriend to give her a mace as a gift on Christmas, no, it can be said to be too weird...but it doesn't matter, she is just happy!

It's a little strange that the fox and his accomplice celebrate the festival together!

So the next second, the two of them were stuck together again.

After a long time, their lips parted again.

The blushing accomplice whispered:
