Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful fox

In the following battles, if those who came to help made contributions, General Hojo would also generously reward them.

The so-called Tongshenyu is the best of all rewards. Legend has it that it is a treasure passed down from generation to generation in the Hojo family. After accumulating divine power every once in a while, it can fulfill a person's wish.

General Hojo promised that if anyone could kill the long-haired ghost king, he would lend him the opportunity to use the Tongshen Jade.

that's all.

With this temptation, whenever a demon-killing order is issued, talented people from all over the world will flock to Awahara City.

Naoko Sakuragi is one of them.

She was originally the daughter of a military family in the south. Due to an accident, her father, brother and newlywed husband were all killed by long-haired demons. From then on, she was determined to take revenge. She spent all her family wealth and formed a mercenary group called Yukawa-shu to hunt down long-haired demons everywhere.

As soon as the order to kill the demons was issued, she did not hesitate and immediately led her men towards Awahara City. She wanted to continue killing the long-haired demons and also wanted to try her best to get the divine jade and resurrect her relatives.

The reason why she came to this small town today was because she heard that there were long-haired ghosts lurking nearby, and she wanted to chop off a few heads to improve her status after entering Awahara City.

Unexpectedly, before he saw the long-haired ghost, he saw Hoshino Hideyuki first. He immediately felt that he had extraordinary skills and wanted to recruit him, so he came over and talked to him.

After hearing this, Hoshino Hideyuki's eyelids couldn't stop twitching.

Why do I feel like this secret realm is a little abnormal?

It’s so big and complete, it’s like a small world!

What about the long-haired ghost? What the hell is the long-haired ghost king? It sounds like a Warboss has emerged from the green skins!

Tsk tsk.

After thinking for a moment, Hoshino Hideyuki decided to accept Sakuragi Naoko's invitation.

He had nowhere better to go anyway.

And that magical jade sounds quite interesting - of course, the fox doesn't believe that thing is really a universal wish-making machine, at least he doesn't think that thing can solve the Goldbach conjecture.

But what if we could send him back to the real world?

Well, worth a try.

"Great! Welcome!"

On this side, Naoko Sakuragi laughed heartily when she saw Hoshino Hideyuki agreed to join the team.

Just at this moment, her subordinates bought some good wine and a few delicious dishes, and she started chatting with Hoshino Hideyuki.

As they chatted, under the influence of alcohol, Naoko Sakuragi's face turned red and her body became hot.

She then took off her armor, and her movements were a little rough, which pulled open the cloth underneath, accidentally revealing her shoulders, which were not tender but still fair, and the corners of the white bra wrap that was wrapped around her round assets.

However, she did not care about it at all and continued to drink. Although it was only low-alcohol sake, she drank five bowls in a row, which was considered an amazing alcohol tolerance.

Hoshino Hideyuki also had no reaction to this. He just calmly drank and ate. He had finished most of the dishes on the table in a blink of an eye.

About an hour later, Naoko Sakuragi got up and led Hoshino Hideyuki to the residence of the Yukawa clan - there were about twenty of them in total, and they directly booked a farmer's house outside the city.

After arranging Hoshino Hideyuki to enter the room, one of the men behind Sakuragi Naoko asked, "Sakuragi-sama, do you need to find a Yuujo (another name for a skilled woman) for this man?"

Sakuragi Naoko tightened her clothes and shook her head: "No, there's no need. This little trick won't work on him."

Another subordinate frowned and said, "Sir, are you overestimating him? He is just a pretty boy with unknown origins."

"Who knows? But my intuition tells me that he will give us a surprise~"

Sakuragi Naoko smiled, then asked someone to look after the newcomer Hoshino Hideyuki, introduce him to his companions, and help him choose a weapon, etc. Then she walked out of the yard and returned to the city to purchase food.

the other side.

In the room, Hoshino Hideyuki turned the box back into the body of the narrow-eyed Onmyoji, checked it and confirmed that it was not rotten, then turned it into a box again and hid it under the bed.

Then he lay down on the bed and rested for a while.

When his physical strength and demonic power were almost restored, he put down a strong man on the spot and transformed him into his own appearance. His real body then turned into a fly and flew away quietly.

Some things cannot be just heard from Naoko Sakuragi; you have to see them with your own eyes to be safe.

So he flew around the house, hypnotized two passers-by outside, and asked a bunch of questions to verify Sakuragi Naoko's information.

When he flew back, he unexpectedly saw two men from the Yukawa clan at the back door of the house. They were talking to a little girl who was chopping wood. Out of curiosity, he stopped on the eaves of a nearby house to observe.

The two men were dressed in kimonos, with swords on their waists, looking like ordinary ronin.

But that girl was unusual.

He looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old, not tall and slender, wearing a rough cloth shirt and a pair of straw sandals. His hair was casually tied into a bun at the back of his head with a chopstick stuck in it.

Although she was dressed sloppily, she was actually quite pretty, with delicate features, a pair of big, bright eyes, and a beauty mole at the right corner of her eye. Although her skin was covered in dirt, it was still fair and tender.

This is definitely a beauty!

The only drawback was that she had a huge blood-red birthmark that extended diagonally from her forehead to her left cheekbone, which looked quite hideous.

Just as Hoshino Hideyuki wanted to observe more closely, he heard the two ronin laughing and saying:

"Hey, monster, show us your magic tricks~"

Chapter 201: Fox, Lolita and Beautiful Woman

Huh? Monster?

Hoshino Hideyuki looked at the girl again and secretly activated the Eye of Insight.

Yes, it’s confirmed, it’s not a monster.

However, there was indeed some evil aura emanating from that birthmark.

Yes, most ordinary humans would feel disgusted when seeing this thing, so they contemptuously call it a monster, but foxes are real monsters, so they are not affected.

Here.

Faced with the obvious mockery of the wanderers, the little girl was not angry at all. On the contrary, she smiled and showed her little tiger teeth and said, "Okay, sir, I will show you right away!"

As she spoke, she put down the axe and did a handstand on the spot.

“It’s all right… Ah! Ah!”

However, apparently because she moved too hastily, she lost her balance and fell to the ground after standing for just a moment, her face covered in mud.

"Pfft hahaha!"

"Everyone is right, you silly girl are interesting!"

"Take it, it's a reward from the master~"

As the two ronin spoke, they each took out a copper coin from their pockets and threw it on the ground, then turned and walked away laughing.

"Thank you, uncle! Thank you, uncle!"

The little girl took the money and began to kowtow until the two ronin had walked a long way away. Then she stopped, turned around, picked up the axe and continued chopping wood.

"You're quite good at chopping wood."

"what?"

Suddenly, a very attractive male voice came from her ears. The little girl turned around and was surprised to see that Hoshino Hideyuki had squatted beside her at some point.

Hoshino Hideyuki looked at the neatly separated firewood on the ground and said with a smile, "If you had used this technique to swing the axe just now, you would definitely have been able to chop those two people's heads off."

The little girl blinked, seemingly not understanding what the fox meant. She just asked blankly:

"Um, sir, you are..."

"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Rukawa Makoto, and I just joined our Yukawa clan today. What about you?"

"Ah, my name is Himeno Aoi!" The little girl grinned, her little canine teeth shining white in the sun: "I am the firewood-chopping minister of the Yukawa clan! Hehe~"

"What a nice name, interesting profession, and pretty person. Well, nice to meet you."

When hearing the word beautiful, Himeno Aoi was visibly stunned, as if it was the first time someone described her like that.

At this time, Hoshino Hideyuki took out another piece of crisp candy from his pocket - this was the one he had picked up from a passerby when he turned into a fly. There were originally five pieces, and he had already eaten four of them.

And now, he handed the last piece to Himeno Aoi and said with a smile: "This is a meeting gift, please take care of me in the future~"

After saying that, he stood up and left.

"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Rukawa!"

Himeno Aoi glanced at the candy in her palm, reacted, and waved towards Hoshino Hideyuki's back.

After turning the corner.

Hoshino Hideyuki ran into Sakuragi Naoko.

The latter was now dressed more loosely than before, with a loose-fitting coat draped over her upper body, revealing her small belly button, slender waist with a few beads of sweat, shoulders with a few strands of black hair, and the chest wrap that bound her majestic peaks, all clearly visible.

"Sakuragi-sama." Since he had joined the team, Hoshino Hideyuki followed suit, but his words did not show any respect. "It's been twice. Are you wearing this on purpose in front of me?"

"Haha."

Sakuragi Naoko laughed out loud, threw a wink back and said, "Brother Rukawa, you figured it out, um, yes~"

"why?"

"Although I am getting older, I am still quite confident about my appearance. I didn't expect that you didn't respond to me at all before. Although this proves that you have noble aspirations, which is a good thing, I am still a little unwilling to give up, so I want to try again~"

Hoshino Hideyuki curled his lips: "Sakuragi-sama is really free and easy."

Although this kind of behavior may not be a big deal in today's world, it is definitely very open in this place that is clearly stuck in the past hundreds of years.

"How can I be a woman with dignity when I hang out with men all day? Besides, I might be killed by a hairy ghost tomorrow. What's the point of thinking so much? I can just do whatever I want."

Naoko Sakuragi winked at Hideyuki Hoshino, as if hinting at something, but also as if not hinting at something.

Then she suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Are you interested in that child just now?"

Hoshino Hideyuki replied: "Well, she looks like the child of my uncle's friend's neighbor's seventh aunt~"

Naoko Sakuragi:?

"Ah... then you have a pretty good memory..."

"Hmm~" Hoshino Hideyuki said with a smile: "Is there something wrong with her?"

Sakuragi Naoko did not answer directly, but said: "She is an orphan I saw in a village I passed by. She seemed to have been cursed by a monster, so no one has taken care of her. I took her in because I felt sorry for her."

"Despite this, she has never been very popular in the team. It may be because of the curse."

"You are the first one besides me to smile at that child, so I was a little curious and asked a few more questions. Don't mind it."

"but……"

Sakuragi Naoko changed the subject and said, "Since you said such gentle words to that child at the beginning, please keep doing so. Otherwise, she will be too pitiful."

"Well, that's all I wanted to say. There's nothing else to say. We're leaving tomorrow. I suggest you get a good rest tonight, Rukawa~"

After saying that, Sakuragi Naoko stood up and left.

Hoshino Hideyuki turned around, leaned his head out of the wall, looked at Himeno Aoi again, and narrowed his eyes.

the next day.

The Tangchuan group joined two caravans in the city, a total of about fifty people, and set off on a forest path.

There were only three horses in the team, two pulling the cart, one ridden by Sakuragi Naoko, and the rest following her on foot.

Hoshino Hideyuki was walking in the middle of the team when he suddenly noticed Himeno Aoi jogging behind him. Her snow-white little feet almost left an afterimage. She was right in front of him in the blink of an eye. Without even catching her breath, she stretched out her hand to him and said,

"Ryu-Mr. Rukawa, this is a return gift!"

Hoshino Hideyuki took a look and saw a slightly dirty ball lying in the little girl's palm, which looked like it had been held for a long time.

He didn't hesitate, just grabbed it and ate it.

"Mm, it's delicious, thank you~"

"Hee hee~"

Himeno Aoi scratched her head and smiled, then asked, "Where is Mr. Rukawa from? His accent is so weird."

"Western Tang Dynasty~"

Hoshino Hideyuki put his hand in his pocket, took out the Kaiyuan Tongbao copper coin, shook it in front of Himeno Aoi and said, "Here, this is the place where this kind of money is minted."

Ji Ye Kui murmured: "Kai...Yuan...?"

Hoshino Hideyuki raised his eyebrows: "Hmm~"
