Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful fox

Thinking of this, Hoshino Hideyuki quickly finished his porridge. After his stomach was full, he calmed down and tried to regain the feeling he had last night to see if he could release the domain again...

ten minutes later.

The attempt failed and did nothing except cause two more burps.

However, I always feel that I am really close. I am only a thin layer away from the great monster realm...

Ah, my head starts to hurt again. Is it because the previous deficit has not been fully made up yet?

Hoshino Hideyuki sighed quietly, feeling that haste makes waste, and decided not to think about it anymore, and lay back in bed.

This time he really wants to take a break.

I do not know how long it has been.

Hoshino Hideyuki opened his eyes again and found that it was already dark outside. There was no one by the bed for the time being, but there was a plate of steaming poached chicken and eight-treasure porridge.

Ha, the chef at the Tendo family is quite knowledgeable. I guess it was Ijichi Kikuri who told them about my food preferences?

Hoshino Hideyuki curled the corner of his mouth and ate the chicken in no time.

This time, he felt that his physical strength and energy had completely recovered! The lively pink-haired fox was back!

He thought: Since I’m in good shape, why not try out the new skills I’ve learned?

Come to think of it, the Out-of-body Experience is also related to the soul. Maybe practicing it more can also train the soul and indirectly promote one's enlightenment...

With such expectation, Hoshino Hideyuki closed his eyes, and after a moment, a pink-haired fox shadow floated out from his body.

"Hey~"

The translucent fox circled around, wagged its tail, and then tried to stuff the pillow into its chest - well, it went right through!

Is this what it feels like to be a ghost?

Then he snapped his fingers and ignited the Heart Moon Fire at his fingertips.

OK, OK, I can still use skills.

The fox flew around for a while, and finally looked at the wall.

Ah, if I want to be a ghost, I have to try to pass through the wall anyway, right? Just pass through it once and come back immediately, it shouldn't be a problem, right?

Hoshino Hideyuki posed, started running, and the next second, he ran out of the bedroom~

Phew! So comfortable!

Even though he had no spine now, he still stretched and admired the quiet courtyard outside the house... and Yukiho Amamiya who was staring at him with a look of surprise.

"Ah?"

"Aha~"

Yukiho Amamiya reacted faster. She stretched out her tender little white hand, grabbed the back of Hoshino Hideyuki's neck, and pulled the fox spirit into her arms.

"Mr. Smiley Fox is not resting well. This is not okay. He has failed everyone's concern. It's very disappointing~"

Hoshino Hideyuki narrowed his eyes and looked at Amamiya Yukiho's current position: "What qualifications do you have to criticize me? Why don't you go through the front door and come to the backyard? Are you trying to sneak in through the window?"

Yukiho Amamiya tilted her head and smiled: "How could that be? I am the noble Inari God, I would never climb through the window like a thief!"

"Then why are you here!?"

"I can walk through walls. I can walk directly through walls without climbing through windows!"

“Is this essentially any different from climbing through a window?”

"A more graceful posture~"

"Huh? Then let me ask you..."

"Please! You! Stop asking!"

Yukiho Amamiya narrowed her eyes and smiled, and said in a friendly yet slightly crazy tone: "Mr. Smiling Fox, you haven't realized the situation yet, right?"

"You used a spell to release your soul from your body, and I caught you. As a god, it's easy for me to deal with a wandering soul like you~"

"Well, even if I take you away from the Tendo family secretly now, no one will find out."

"By then, Asuka Tendo and Kikuri Ijichi will only think that you have died of your injuries and turned into a vegetable, but they will not realize that I have taken your soul back home~"

"Next, I will seal you into a doll and place it at the bedside every night. We will go to bed together and wake up together. You can always see my face and only my face. Ah, I feel happy just thinking about it..."

Hoshino Hideyuki:?

Hey, hey, hey, miss, don't say scary things with a smile on your face!

Hoshino Hideyuki opened his mouth, ready to bite - ah, although he has no teeth in the physical sense now, as long as he has faith, the ghost fox can also bite!

"Hehe, just kidding~"

Yukiho Amamiya shrugged, used the wall-walking technique, and returned to the bedroom carrying the fox.

The fox quickly slid back into the body.

No more playing, no more playing. It’s not fun at all when the soul leaves the body.

"Let's not ask who you learned this from..."

Yukiho Amamiya sat aside and said with a smile: "In short, I still suggest you use this kind of magic with caution. Sometimes it can have miraculous effects, but sometimes it can make you more vulnerable to control. However..."

The eldest lady said, looking at her slender fingers and rubbing them with nostalgia: "Your soul feels really good, quite resilient, have you trained it specially?"

That’s not possible. It’s cooked over high heat every day and it’s only 70% done.

Fox curled his lips and sat up from the bed. He did not answer the young lady's question, but tried to change the subject: "So, what do you want to do by sneaking over here?"

"Of course I want to check up Mr. Smiley Fox. I really care about my fellow gods~"

"Seriously?"

"Not very serious~"

Miss Amamiya gradually stopped hiding her greed, supported herself on the ground with her hands, and crawled to the front of the fox.

The distance was so close and the angle was so good that the fox could easily smell the scent of lilies on the other person. With a sidelong glance, he could follow the collar of the clothes, over the white jade collarbone, and see a large area of delicate and smooth skin, as well as the looming omen.

"Hey! Fairy! What do you want to do?!"

"Think~"

Yukiho Amamiya raised one hand, pushed the hair stuck to the corners of her pink lips behind her ears, and said softly: "It's spring now, and when a female fox sees a male fox, of course she has to talk happily~"

"Mr. Smiley Fox, please don't look so disgusted. You really owe me a big favor this time~"

Hoshino Hideyuki curled the corner of his mouth.

Well, there is no denying this, and we should still be grateful.

"...I thought I could save the hero this time, but when I got here, I found that Mr. Smiley Fox was even more popular than I thought... Although Kikuri and Asuka are indeed good people, I still can't help but feel a little angry."

Amamiya Yukiho said this resentfully, and moved closer to the fox, so that the fragrant hot air exhaled from her lips directly brushed over the fur on the fox's face, making the latter feel a little itchy.

"So, Mr. Smiley Fox, how do you plan to repay my favor, and how do you plan to appease the honorable God? Hmm... I vaguely remember an old saying in the University of Tokyo, which goes, "If you are grateful for a drop of water, you should repay it with your own body." I think it's a good idea. What do you think, Mr. Smiley Fox~"

Come on, that's not what Dongda said! Your change is even more outrageous than a drop of water being a spring of gratitude to Bao!

Calm down first. I can fold a few paper cranes for you. Is that okay? It's in line with Japanese tradition! I can even fold a bag for you...

Just as the scumbag fox was thinking about how to deny the favor of the eldest lady, footsteps suddenly came from outside, interrupting Yukiho Amamiya's actions.

The next second, the sliding door opened and Asuka Tendo and two old men walked in.

The girl looked up and saw Yukiho Amamiya. Her twin ponytails instantly straightened up and she glared at him:

"W-why are you here!?"

Chapter 234: Fox, I accept this kindness~

The moment the three people from the Tendo family came in, Amamiya Yukiho straightened her back and sat upright. Although her eyes were full of regret and pity, her posture gave an attitude of "I'm very serious and haven't done anything bad."

She turned around and said to Asuka Tendou with a smile, "Why are you so weird, Ms. Asuka? I just came to show my concern for Mr. Smiley Fox."

The girl put her hands on her hips and raised an eyebrow, "Then why didn't the maid outside know you came in?"

Yukiho Amamiya said calmly: "How can ordinary people know the whereabouts of the gods at any time~"

The fox narrowed his eyes.

Tsk tsk tsk, she is worthy of being the eldest lady. She covered up the evil act of sneaking into the male fox’s bedroom so easily!

Hey, police officer, come and check her out. Judging from how skilled she is, who knows how many people she has harmed!

At this time, Yukiho Amamiya looked at the old men behind Asuka again, and without getting up, she just sat there and said, "Oh, the two elders are here too..."

She smiled and stretched out her hand to the fox, saying, "Let me introduce them to you. This is Mr. Tendo Masaki, and that is Mr. Tendo Takuya. They are both elders of the Tendo family..."

Following the eldest lady's introduction, Tendo Masaki and the short and fat old man beside him saluted the fox.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Smiley Fox..."

The fox quickly returned the gift.

The two elders of the Tiantong family are not gods, but we still have to respect them just because of their white beards.

After a few polite words, the two sides sat down face to face.

Just as the fox was wondering why the two elders came to find him, Tian Tong Jianghui on the opposite side spoke first:

"Alas, Shingo was going to come too, but his grandson passed away and they're busy with the funeral, so..."

Tendo Shingo...ah, Tendo Tomoya's grandfather?

Then I understand, I understand very much.

But in this case, you originally wanted the three elders to come see me together?

A bit serious...

Hoshino Hideyuki had heard from Asuka Tendo about the structure of the Tendo family before. He knew that the head of her family was a bit special. He basically never went out, and daily affairs were handled by the three elders. Therefore, the three elders together were essentially equivalent to the head of the family.

The fox straightened his back slightly and asked, "I wonder why you two came to see me...?"

"In fact, we just wanted to come and see your injuries at first."

Tian Tong Masaki said with a smile: "Mr. Smiley Fox thwarted Ruyi Fangzhu's plot and is a great benefactor of the Tian Tong family. No matter how we thank you for your care, it is not enough... If you feel that we have not taken good care of you, you can always tell us..."

Hoshino Hideyuki quickly waved his hands, signaling to Tendo Masaki that it was enough, he had no dissatisfaction and there was no need to say anything more.

He really couldn't get used to two old men being so polite to a two-year-old kid.

Having said that, Tendo Masaki still said a few more words of gratitude, and finally said:

"...But judging from your current appearance, are you alright?"

Hoshino Hideyuki nodded: "Actually, there was no external injury, it was just that the mental exhaustion was a bit great. After sleeping for two days, it will be almost gone."

"Very good……"

Tian Tong Jiang Hui said with a smile: "In this case, it is better to do it now than to wait for a day. If Mr. Smiling Fox is interested, you can also discuss the issue of return with us now..."

The fox's tail flicked: "Return?"

"That's right, Mr. Smiling Fox has done a great favor to our Tiantong family, so we should naturally repay him."

Tian Tong Masaki stroked his beard and said slowly: "Words of gratitude are too shallow. Future support and help are just due. There is no need to mention it. In the end, we should still give you some practical rewards. You can ask for whatever you want."

Hey!

Humans have come to repay the fox!

If you want to say that, then I will say that~

50% of the real estate accumulated by the Tiantong family over the past thousand years will be given to me, and 50% of the annual income will be automatically given to me to spend. All the girls in the family will be awarded to me... Too much? How is it too much? It's just like a divorce~

The fox rubbed his paws and made the above request...which was of course impossible.

There was no way. He had just recovered and didn't want to lie down again.

After thinking it over, he made two requests that he felt were not too outrageous.

"Does the Tendo family have this kind of flower?"

As he spoke, the fox changed the pillow into the shape of a morning and night red spider lily.

Yukiho Amamiya next to her saw the familiar flowers, raised her eyebrows, but said nothing.
