Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful fox

Mr. Fox is so nice!

By the way, this setting is inexplicably like Cinderella who can transform into a rich lady before midnight~

Cinderella and the Fox~Cinderella and the Fox~~

Chizuru Haibara kept repeating to herself, feeling her heart getting hot again. Unfortunately, there were too many people around her, so she could only drink the hot soup madly to hide her blushing face.

"By the way, there's one more thing."

Halfway through the drinking, when everyone started talking about the demons they had encountered before, Ichichi Kikuri suddenly raised her head and said to Hoshino Hideyuki: "The demon I fought before inexplicably asked me if I knew Ibuki Douji..."

"It's Ibuki Douji..."

Hoshino Hideyuki widened his eyes, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice:

“…I haven’t heard of it.”

"Don't look so surprised if you haven't heard of it!"

Ijichi Kikuri rubbed her forehead and looked at Asuka and Amamiya Yukiho.

Finally, the Lord God wiped the corner of his lips gracefully and smiled, "I have heard of this name before, but that guy died a long time ago, so long ago that I wasn't even born in my previous life..."

Wow, it's a classic from long time ago!

Hoshino Hideyuki immediately turned his head with an expectant look on his face.

"Mr. Fox, please don't look at me like an elementary school student listening to a 90-year-old grandmother telling a story. I'm still a high school girl! Well, I haven't been to school much recently..."

Yukiho Amamiya sighed, then slowly said: "You have all heard of the Demon King Shuten-doji, right?"

Everyone nodded.

"In many legends, Shuten-doji has an alias called Ibuki-doji, but that's actually just a misunderstanding."

"In fact, he was a great demon from the same era as Shuten. He was the leader of the red demon clan at that time. However, because he rarely attacked humans, humans did not have a very clear understanding of him."

"But within the circle of gods, this guy is notorious because, although he has no interest in humans, he is keen on challenging gods. He once defeated Bishamonten and Budai in one day."

Hoshino Hideyuki blinked.

If I remember correctly, these two are the so-called Seven Lucky Gods, right? The former is the God of Armored Wisdom, and the latter is the God of Great Fortune and Auspiciousness.

Their existence is similar to the Eight Immortals in the mythology of the University of Tokyo. They are very famous in Japan and are often worshipped. Their strength should be strong. How could they have been defeated by a ghost tribe?

He sighed in his heart, pricked up his ears, and wanted to continue listening to Yukiho Amamiya's story seriously.

But Yukiho Amamiya stopped, took a sip of tea, and said to him and Ijichi Kikuri with her eyebrows twitching deliberately:

"There's nothing down there."

"?"

"Although this guy was rampant for a while, he disappeared in his later years. No one knows his whereabouts. I only know the above information."

"..."

Is this the extent of the Inari God? I am so disappointed with Mr. Fox!

Hoshino Hideyuki crossed his arms and swung his tail in disdain.

"Don't worry, it's hard for others to know more than me even if you ask them~" Yukiho Amamiya tilted her head and smiled, then said to Ijichi Kikuri: "Kikuri-chan, do you have any clues after listening to all this?"

"No, I'm more confused."

Ijichi Kikuri curled her lips and said, "To exist in the same era as Shuten-doji, that must be traced back to the Heian period a thousand years ago, right? How can I be related to someone who lived a thousand years ago?"

"Not necessarily."

Hoshino Hideyuki suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Don't forget your special physique."

"Yes!"

Ichichi Kikuri suddenly realized something, and after thinking about it, she exclaimed, "Could it be that the reason why I am so powerful is because I am a descendant of Ibuki Douji? I am a half-blooded demon?"

She finished speaking excitedly, but found that the most knowledgeable ones, Yukiho Amamiya and Asuka Tendo, didn't seem very surprised.

Yukiho Amamiya said: "You do have a trace of ghost blood. Four hundred years ago, when the spiritual energy declined, many ghosts chose to live together with humans. You may be their descendant."

"But your bloodline is very thin. Logically, it shouldn't be enough to trace back to the great monster from a thousand years ago."

Asuka Tendo also frowned and added, "And your strength is already stronger than most pure-blooded demons, which means that your physical problems are probably not related to your thin demon bloodline."

Ijichi Kikuri scratched her head.

"You two...already knew all this?"

"Don't underestimate the God's perception~" / "Don't underestimate the Tendo family's secret method of detecting monsters!"

"Then why didn't you tell me?"

"You didn't ask..."

Tendo Asuka pouted and said, "You were the first one to follow the fox around, hitting it with a stick all day long. I thought you had already learned about your own situation from the fox."

I'm sorry that I can't see anything as a wild fox...

Hoshino Hideyuki turned his head and looked carefully at the half shrimp head on the plate in front of him, exclaiming: This is a real shrimp head!

"Well, forget it."

Ichichi Kikuri smacked her lips. "Anyway, I finally have some clues about my physique."

"That old ghost tribe shouldn't have any reason to lie to me, so even if this matter can't be directly attributed to Ibuki Douji, there should be some connection..."

"That's hard to say." Hoshino Hideyuki shrugged. "Maybe he just wants to scare you. For example, I recently wanted to try to say 'I'm your father' to someone when we were fighting and see his reaction."

"Are you some twisted Star Wars fan?"

Ijichi Kikuri finished speaking unhappily, then adjusted her expression a little and said:

"Anyway, I think we can investigate along this line of thought."

Yukiho Amamiya said, "I agree."

Asuka Tendo also nodded in agreement: "I'll go back and look up the family history books, maybe I can find out the background of those weird ghosts~"

"As for me, this..."

Ichichi Kikuri hesitated for a moment, then suddenly faced the fox and clasped her hands together:

"By the way, I can go ask my parents if they know anything. They happen to be in Osaka... Hideyuki-kun, how about you come home with me tomorrow?"

Chapter 275: Mr. and Mrs. Ichichi: My pigs are eating the cabbages from other people’s homes!

Huh? Wait a minute, why did the topic jump to this?

Yukiho Amamiya and Asuka Tendo looked at each other, and their expressions became a little subtle.

Could it be that, Kikuri-chan, you really just wanted to ask a question at first, but later found that the question could not be answered, so you took the opportunity to take the fox home!

Is this the reaction speed and means of an adult woman? You are worthy of it, Kikuri-chan!

Hoshino Hideyuki didn't think much about it. He knew that Ijichi Kikuri's parents were really in Osaka. They hadn't seen each other for more than half a year, so it was natural for them to want to meet them, so he agreed immediately.

"No problem, I'll go with you tomorrow."

As soon as Hoshino Hideyuki finished speaking, Yukiho Amamiya asked, "By the way, Mr. Fox, do you have any specific plans for the next few days?"

Hoshino Hideyuki blinked and said, "I plan to relax for five or six days. Except for tomorrow, I will probably take a walk around the area for the rest of the time..."

"I will be returning to Tokyo to continue my training. Now that I think about it, there is a complex barrier that I only learned halfway before I left. I am afraid I will have to learn it all over again."

As a lazy and greedy fox whose specialty is combining work and rest, now that he has finally become a great monster, Hoshino Hideyuki of course wants to have fun for a few days.

But after all, the shadows of opponents such as Ruyi Fangzhu are still there, and there must be a limit to how much we can relax, so five or six days will be enough.

"In that case, how about going to the beach? Of course, I don't mean the beach in Osaka."

Yukiho Amamiya smiled and said, "My father bought a private island in the south last year. It's called Wilson Island. It has a beautiful beach and even a hot spring~"

"Besides, there aren't many outsiders on that island. If you don't want to play, we can just practice skills and set up barriers on the island. Even if we have to knock down a hill or two, it won't be a problem. What do you think?"

Hoshino Hideyuki narrowed his eyes and said, "The food on the island..."

"I promise to be at the same level as today~"

"Then it's a deal!"

Hoshino Hideyuki smiled and turned around and asked the others, "Do you want to go together?"

It goes without saying that Ijichi Kikuri and Tendo Asuka, as well as Haibara Chizuru, raised her hand tentatively.

Just as Inuyama Tetsu, Tendo Ryuji and Tendo Mitsuki were about to raise their hands, they suddenly felt an inexplicable air pressure emanating from the four women in front of them.

what……

I feel like that island will become an extremely brutal place...

This is definitely not a battlefield that singles like me should ever step foot on!

"I won't go. I want to learn some basic Yin-Yang techniques from Brother Long Zhi during the remaining vacation~"

Inuyama Tetsu hurriedly brought Tendou Ryuji to his side, and the latter immediately poured him a glass of wine, agreeing, "Right, right, I also wanted to discuss criminal investigation methods with Brother Tetsu. After all, people can't always rely on magic..."

These two people have only met twice, how come their relationship has become so good?

Hoshino Hideyuki looked at Tendo Mizuki again.

The latter curled her lips. She actually wanted to follow the fox, but looking at its posture... forget it. Life is precious. She should just go home and practice. Well, I love to study and I love to practice!

Thinking of this, she shrugged at the fox.

Hoshino Hideyuki scratched the fox's head and said, "Then the five of us will do."

"Hmm~ It's a happy decision~"

Yukiho Amamiya clapped her hands lightly, called the maid over, and whispered some instructions.

Although I have to bring a few other thieving cats along...it doesn't matter. It will be enough as long as I can make sure the fox can stay with me as much as possible in the days to come!

The rest depends on my ability, Lord God!

After that, no one at the table talked about any other important topics, but just immersed themselves in food and friendship.

All the pain that happened in the dark underground was completely dissolved by the spices blooming on the taste buds in this process.

That night, everyone relaxed physically and mentally.

The banquet ended late at night.

With the help of the maid, Inuyama Tetsu and others went to their respective assigned rooms.

As for Hoshino Hideyuki...

Due to the wonderful checks and balances between the girls, he slept in a room by himself tonight. Although he lacked the sweet and soft support, on the other hand, he did have a rare moment of peace and quiet.

Then, at noon the next day.

Together with Ijichi Kikuri, he carried two watermelons (which the scumbag fox had stolen from the Amemiya family) and set out on the literal journey to meet his parents.

"My house is at the next intersection."

After riding the train for half an hour, Ijichi Kikuri brought Hoshino Hideyuki to a quiet alley with single-family houses on both sides and explained softly:

"When I was in high school, my family lived in the suburbs, the place I told you about before, next to the Ogawa Pharmaceutical Factory... Later, my grandmother passed away, and my family moved here."

Hoshino Hideyuki poked his head out from his collar and said, "Well, it's a nice neighborhood~"

"so……"

Ijichi Kikuri patted the bulge on her chest and said, "Hideyuki-kun, isn't it time for you to come out? You can't meet my parents in your fox form, right?"

"Can't you?"

"At the moment, I don't think they are strong enough to accept that their daughter's boyfriend is a fox..."

"That means they should read more about the legend of the crane repaying its gratitude, then they will be able to accept it..."

Having said that, Hoshino Hideyuki still reluctantly crawled out of the warm and soft exclusive seat, jumped to the ground, and turned into a handsome and elegant young man from Tokyo.

He looked back at Ijichi Giuri's classic trench coat and jeans, then snapped his fingers, changing his clothes into a matching couple's outfit, and then took a watermelon from Ijichi Giuri's hand.

"Hee, you're quite self-aware~"

Ijichi Kikuri reached out to help Hoshino Hideyuki adjust his collar and removed two pink fox hairs, then walked forward with satisfaction and hugged Hoshino Hideyuki's left arm tightly.
