Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful fox

"This color... morning glory?"

As expected of an elder, Tian Tong Jiang Hui recognized the flower immediately after narrowing his eyes, and then asked, "I wonder what Mr. Smiley Fox wants this flower for?"

Hoshino Hideyuki shrugged and said nothing.

It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but I really don’t know what it can do. Anyway, it seems that a certain old cat demon really needs it.

"Oh, sorry, I asked too much."

Tendou Masaki turned his head and whispered a few words with another elder, Tendou Takuye, and then said, "There should be three such red spider lilies in the family's treasure house. It's useless for us to keep them. If Mr. Smiling Fox wants them, they can all be given to you."

Three?

Yay, great harvest!

The first request was successfully fulfilled, and Hideyuki Hoshino immediately made the second request:

"In addition to flowers, I also want to learn some knowledge about barriers..."

As the saying goes, having many skills is always a blessing.

During this trial trip to Toono, Kitsune fought alongside Asuka Tendo several times, and he fully realized the benefits of having a barrier on his side.

Although the Seventy-Two Transformations, Flower Viewing in the Mirror, and Heart Moon Fire are powerful, they are not omnipotent after all. For example, when encountering a ninja who likes to burrow in the soil, they will not be able to protect the fox's sleep.

To sum up, the fox plans to broaden his knowledge.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yukiho Amamiya glanced at him and whispered with some resentment: "As for the barrier, I can also teach you, why bother asking outsiders for help..."

The fox rolled his eyes.

First of all, the big family has been passed down for so many years, and it must have its own unique secrets. Miss, although you have become a god, but leaving aside the numbers, your ability to set up a temple in a conch shell may not be better than others.

Secondly, it’s not that I don’t want to learn from you, female vixen, the question is... what is the cost?

Oh, I am scared just thinking about it. I am shivering with anger! When will the male fox be able to stand up?

So forget it, let's learn from the Onmyoji first, as for you, female fox, let's talk about it after we have straightened out our relationship~

Miss Amemiya understood what the fox meant and puffed up her cheeks unhappily. Then she reached one hand behind her and pulled the hair on Hoshino Hideyuki's tail.

hiss……

Hoshino Hideyuki raised his eyebrows and was about to pull the eight tails of the eldest lady in return, when he suddenly noticed that the Onmyojis on the opposite side seemed to have some different opinions on the fox's request.

It seems that this barrier may not be easy to learn...

Elder Tiantong Takuye frowned slightly, turned his head, and whispered to Tiantong Jianghui with his double chin tucked in: "The way of barrier is different from some rare treasures. It is a secret method related to the foundation of the family. It should not be passed on to others, not to mention that the other party is..."

Considering that Hoshino Hideyuki might be able to hear the conversation, Tendo Takuya did not say the word "yōkai" at the end.

"Elder Tuoye..."

At this time, Asuka Tendo also lowered her voice and interrupted, "Well, if it is a very important family secret, then it is indeed inappropriate to teach it to others, but compared to the knowledge of enchantments for the general public, there is nothing wrong with teaching it, right?"

"Also, although the Smiling Fox is a monster, he is really a good monster who is trustworthy! I am very sure of this!"

A cross appeared on Tendo Takuya's forehead. "Hey, girl, why are you still leaning outward? And who allowed you to interrupt me and Masahiro? You're getting bolder and bolder..."

Asuka Tendo blushed, but she still stubbornly straightened her neck and said, "I just... I just want to provide you with some correct information. I'm not trying to be mean..."

Isn’t this it?

Hey, the cabbage at home is eating the pig, no, it’s eating the fox…

Tian Tong Masaki sighed slightly: "Well, why are you two arguing again? It would be disgraceful if our benefactor heard it."

The fox thought to himself that he had heard everything he should have heard, and it felt like you had no intention of hiding anything from me.

But it doesn't matter. As a considerate fox, I will pretend to be confused.

At this time, Tendo Masaki seemed to have reached an agreement with Tendo Takuno. He bowed slightly to Hoshino Hideyuki and said with a smile:

"Sorry for the wait."

"Regarding the knowledge about the barrier, no matter what it is, as long as Mr. Smiley Fox wants to learn, our Tendo family is willing to teach you everything we know."

As soon as these words were spoken, Yukiho Amamiya narrowed her eyes, while the fox, Takuno Tendo and Asuka Tendo all looked surprised - obviously, even the girl who wanted to stew her elbow and put it into the fox's mouth did not expect that Tendo Masaki would respond like this.

Here, the fox blinked and asked:

"You can learn anything? Even the arrangement of the thousand-layer pancake-like protective barrier outside your mansion?"

"No problem, but to be honest, there are many parts of the barrier outside that we don't understand right now..."

Tendo Masaki smiled self-deprecatingly.

The fox asked again: "Are there no conditions?"

"There is only one thing I want to say, and that is that Mr. Smiley Fox cannot pass on this knowledge to anyone else. Well, we can just make a verbal agreement on this point."

Now the fox was silent.

After a few seconds he spoke: "You are more generous and trusting of me than I thought."

"We value our friendship with you. In these changing times, friendship is far more important than a few secrets."

Tendou Masaki's tone was very sincere: "Besides, both Asuka and Tanlang are willing to trust you. In this case, I am also willing to trust their judgment."

The fox crossed his arms and swung his tail: "You may not know that I have deceived Asuka several times before..."

"Haha, I know about this, but since she doesn't care, then I don't care either~"

As Tendou Masaki said this, he touched the back of the girl's head. The girl blushed and looked down at her knees, as if there was a mobile phone playing Tom and Jerry on them.

Ok……

It seems like he is clearly trying to show his affection to me...

Having said that, Hideyuki Hoshino has nothing to be dissatisfied with.

As a trickster, the fox likes to tease honest people, but on the other hand, if the honest people understand this and are still willing to open their hearts to him, the fox will be embarrassed.

He accepted the kindness.

But that being said, in fact, with the fox's current level, it is still impossible to learn any advanced knowledge in a short period of time, let alone the protective barrier of the Tendo family...

So, for the next three days.

The fox stayed in Tiantong's house and studied hard.

Not only could he read all kinds of precious enchantment books, but he could also sometimes receive personal instruction from the elders. His progress was as fast as a cyclist being chased by a brown bear...

Chapter 235 The War for the Fox Never Ends

Three days later, in the morning.

A large courtyard west of Tiantong's house was filled with thick fog.

boom!

When Ijichi Kikuri heard footsteps behind her, she swung her mace and hit the person behind her without saying a word. But when she finished the attack and looked down, she could only see a large empty hole on the ground.

Not far from her, Asuka Tendo held her breath and concentrated, with golden light protecting her body. She didn't care about the rustling in the mist and only focused on chanting the spell.

A few seconds later, a half-body shadow of a lady condensed above her head. She was over five meters tall, wearing golden armor, a white wolf mask, and had six arms, each holding a different weapon.

This is the new move the girl created after she got the legacy of Tan Lang and combined it with her own knowledge. She named it the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva Dharma Image (although it only has six hands). It looks majestic when used, combining offense and defense. It is really similar to Susanoo in the comics.

Then the girl took a deep breath, and the shadow behind her opened her mouth wide, instantly absorbing most of the mist in the yard.

"I see!"

After her vision regained some clarity, Ijichi Kikuri quickly locked onto the talisman paper in the corner, rushed forward and tore it off, causing the fog to completely dissipate on the spot.

"Great!"

Asuka Tendo grinned, revealing her little fangs, and then looked around...

Hey, why haven’t I seen the fox yet?

Hidden with Transfiguration? Damn, cheating. Didn’t we agree to only use the barrier?

"Jie Jie Jie~"

At this moment, a shrill laughter sounded over the yard.

Ijichi Kikuri and Tendo Asuka gritted their teeth, covered their ears and looked up, just in time to see a pink-haired little fox holding an open umbrella with four paws, spinning and slowly descending, while pointing its butt towards them, wagging its tail and shouting:

"Time's up! You didn't find me~ You didn't find me~"

"26th simulation training, I am still the winner, Mr. Fox~"

That’s right, all of the above was the result of training by Fox and the two girls.

After all, learning about barriers cannot be done by rote memorization alone, but some practice is still needed - and since you have to train, it is naturally better to practice with familiar partners instead of with strangers, which can not only gain experience at the same time, but also improve tacit understanding.

Here, after the fox landed, Asuka Tendo curled her lips and walked forward to ask:

"When did you fly into the sky?"

The fox put away the umbrella and hung it on the tip of its tail, saying, "In addition to the dense fog barrier, I also set up a floating barrier in the corner. The range is very small, but it should be able to blow me up into the sky~"

"Then why didn't we find the barrier?" Ijichi Kikuri also came over and asked, "And I clearly heard footsteps behind me. Didn't you use the transformation and clone jutsu?"

"I didn't cheat."

The fox raised his lips and explained, "I calculated the time and connected a burning fuse under the talisman paper of the floating barrier. Not long after I flew into the sky, the traces of the barrier were burned away, so you naturally couldn't find it."

"As for the footsteps... I actually simulated them by throwing rocks down, just to make you think I was still on the ground."

Ijichi Kikuri and Tendo Asuka looked at each other and pouted at the same time.

Cunning fox!

The fox proudly raised its tail.

The word "cunning" is clearly a compliment to me.

And doesn’t this also indirectly prove that I, Fox, have made great achievements in my studies during this period?

Seeing the fox's attitude, Asuka Tendo pursed her lips, but finally decided to cooperate. She crossed her arms and nodded, "Well, it's true that you've made rapid progress in the barrier, so fast that it's surprising..."

It was impossible for Hoshino Hideyuki to learn any advanced barrier in just three days.

But he learned fifty kinds of simple barriers like the dense fog barrier, the floating barrier, the alarm barrier and the concealment barrier in one breath, and his efficiency was almost a hundred times that of ordinary Tiantong people.

It is precisely because of this reserve that he can perform so many tricks today.

"Hum~"

At this moment, hearing the girl's praise, the fox's tail was lifted up to the sky.

But then his stomach started to growl, and he said instead, "Should we go have lunch?"

Asuka Tendo raised her eyebrows: "It's only ten o'clock, and you've had breakfast!"

"There are 24 hours in a day, and I can eat 24 meals an hour. I am now dieting to lose weight and only plan to eat 5 meals a day. Is that too much?"

This is too much, very much. If you continue like this, you will turn into a pink gas tank sooner or later - this is what the girl originally intended to say.

But when she saw the fox's furry tail swaying in front of her eyes, she finally swallowed the words back.

Damn, this fox is still too cute...

"Okay, okay..."

In the end, Asuka Tendo turned around and took Hoshino Hideyuki to the restaurant.

There are two places that can be called restaurants in the Tendo family. One is similar to a school cafeteria, where a large number of young people dine together, and the other is smaller and more luxurious, and is specially used for entertaining guests. The fox is naturally going to the second one.

On the way, Ichichi Kikuri suddenly asked:

"Come to think of it, why didn't I see Yukiho today?"

Hoshino Hideyuki replied: "Something happened at the Amemiya family, and she had to go back to deal with it... After all, she had a showdown with her family. Although she can be exempted from many restrictions, on the other hand, she also has to bear a lot of responsibilities."

What this means is that the young lady won't be here the whole day?

The corners of Ichichi Kikuri's mouth slowly curled up.

If she were to be honest with herself, after spending a few days together, the red-haired beauty was still very grateful to the eldest lady, and she also recognized her character and abilities, otherwise she would not have called her by her name directly.

But one code equals another.

When the other party wants to steal the fox, I'm sorry, she has to change her attitude. No matter who you are, Miss Inari God, you will be labeled a cat stealing fish!
