Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful fox

As she spoke, she smiled and patted the girl's shoulder and said, "Don't be fooled by her inexperience. She is actually a fortune-telling genius in our family~"

Divination... a prophet?

This is truly an incredible talent.

Hoshino Hideyuki looked at the girl with surprise.

"Thank you for the compliment. I don't deserve to be called a genius or anything like that anymore, hahaha..."

Tiantong Xixia shrank her neck and scratched her head. She was modest but her expression was very happy. After smiling for a while, she took out a few pieces of paper with sketches on them from her bag and said:

“When I logged into the game, I took the opportunity to tell fortunes twice. Although I didn’t get any definite information, I saw some pictures, and I drew them after I came out.”

"I have copied all of this and given it to the Information Analysis Section of the Countermeasures Office, but we haven't gotten any results yet..."

Hoshino Hideyuki took the papers and took a look at them.

The first page showed a crowd of people in a small square, the second page showed a huge building surrounded by mist, and the third page seemed to show two groups of people fighting each other, but their faces were a little blurry...

I have to say, this artist is quite good, no wonder he can make a fan animation for me, Mr. Fox~

However, when he saw the fourth page, Hoshino Hideyuki was stunned.

The picture on this piece of paper is no longer a grand scene, but a person's back and half-turned profile. Although the details are still a little blurry, it can be seen that it is a slender beauty in a kimono...

It looks like there are two black tails...

Hiss, wait a minute...

As a great monster, Hoshino Hideyuki naturally possesses a very strong intuition. Therefore, although the sketch in front of him was blurry, the combination of the kimono beauty and the two tails still made a name emerge in his mind.

Nekomata Yokai, Ryoko Senjougahara.

Could it be that this game is related to the old cat demon?

This shouldn't be the case. Although she is indeed going to return to the real world soon, she must have told me first when she came back. How could she play a mobile game so quietly?

However, Hoshino Hideyuki had to admit that he could not really know everything about the old cat demon. If the old cat demon was really hiding something from him, he would not be able to know it immediately...

For example, recently, the other party broke the appointment again and did not come to see me on time...

For a moment, a mess of associations popped up in the fox's head.

"Mr. Smiley Fox?"

"fox?"

The friends around noticed the fox's abnormality at the first time and asked about it with concern.

"It's okay." Hoshino Hideyuki waved his hand, stood up and said, "I just remembered some important things, like the potato chips are on sale, the yogurt in the refrigerator is about to expire, and the Cybertronians are about to invade the earth. Anyway, excuse me for a moment~"

"Xueho, Kikuri, Asuka, you guys discuss first, I'll come back later to hear your conclusions~"

After saying that, Hoshino Hideyuki quickly transformed into a pigeon and flew out of the window.

Mizuki Tendo: "...So, potato chips and yogurt are as important as Cybertronians?"

"Well, since Mr. Fox wants to solve it alone, we should just wait patiently~"

Yukiho Amamiya looked at the fox's back, pondered for a few seconds, turned around, took the sketches, and continued discussing with everyone.

On the other side, Hoshino Hideyuki flew to the place where Senjougahara Ryoko's bell was buried...

Take a day off and resume tomorrow

Take a day off at the beginning of the month to watch Nezha 2~

Chapter 315 Fox: I want to take your mother away!

Hoshino Hideyuki dug out the bell, dripped a drop of blood on it, and when he closed his eyelids, he came to the beautiful peach forest...Huh?

No, why are you all bald?

He looked around and found that all the peach trees nearby were withered. The trunks were bare, without flowers, leaves or juicy peaches. The atmosphere of the whole environment was instantly downgraded from a paradise on earth to a dark forest where a witch hid.

Such an abnormality immediately made Hoshino Hideyuki alert.

He calmed his mind and let go of his perception. The big monster's powerful mental power was fully deployed, gradually sweeping across every peach tree.

But more than half an hour passed, and he still didn't find any trace of Senjougahara Ryoko. However, he did see the wooden door that had almost driven him to death, as well as a familiar hot spring and a wooden house.

Hoshino Hidetoshi walked into the wooden house, but found it in a mess. The table and bed were overturned, and there was a half-eaten peach on the ground, as well as two crumpled kimonos.

In the fox's impression, although Senjougahara Ryoko's behavior cannot be considered decent, as a cat, she is still very clean and will never allow her kimono to be thrown on the ground!

"So, did you really encounter some kind of accident and leave here?"

"So where did she go?"

"There's no dust on the table. It looks like he hasn't been there for long."

"The footprints on the ground... Tsk, they look like they belong to Ryoko. The same goes for the smell in the air. So no one has been here? No, someone must have broken in, otherwise the bed wouldn't have fallen over."

"So, the intruder cleaned up the traces? But how did that guy manage to clean up only his own traces, but still leave traces of Ryoko?"

In an instant, a series of doubts emerged in Hoshino Hideyuki's mind.

He squatted down and looked at the kimono again, then walked around the house, and finally saw a line of words written on the wall on the other side of the house, which seemed to be written with concentrated peach juice as ink.

You'll never catch me~

And below this line of words, there was a stick figure drawing that looked like a signature. It looked like... a fat mole stuck in a cave, with only a furry butt and kicking legs showing?

Wait, this mole is not me, is it? I vaguely remember that when I first met the cat demon, I turned into a weasel to dig a hole in order to save my tail when playing a game with her...

This old cat with a bad taste, is he trying to make fun of me...

Hoshino Hideyuki rolled his eyes, but soon realized something was wrong.

This weasel was most likely drawn by the cat demon for herself, but the line of words clearly was not - the fox had only been caught by her, but had never caught her in return.

So why did Ryoko leave different messages for two people on the same wall at the same time?

Hoshino Hideyuki thought for a moment, then suddenly walked out of the house and walked to the door that served as the exit of the secret realm.

He recalled his experience half a year ago, compared the position of the door, took two steps to the left, then squatted down and touched the ground.

Pfft!

But when he touched the ground lightly with his finger, a small hole collapsed!

Sure enough, the purpose of Ryoko's painting was to remind me, the fox, to find the hole from which I had originally drilled out!

Hoshino Hideyuki reached his claws in and soon pulled out a small box and a letter.

Inside the box was a strand of black hair, which should have belonged to Ryoko Senjougahara herself.

And that letter...

Fox opened it and read it carefully:

[Brother Fox, when you see this letter, I will probably have returned to the human world...]

[Although I really want you to welcome me and enjoy the delicious food and fun things you mentioned, I have a small accident here, so I have to cancel the appointment - but the delicious food and fun things you promised me still count, and they must not be invalidated after the expiration date. I will ask you for them again when I have the chance~]

[Regarding that accident, I don't want to say more, but you don't have to worry too much. I'm a big monster, so there won't be any problems. I'll contact you when the matter is settled.]

[The time I spent with you was very happy, and I will not let you go~]

[However, sometimes things do develop unexpectedly, so if I haven’t contacted you for more than a year...]

[…Then forget about me. ]

[Also, I'm giving you a piece of advice. If you see another Nekomata who looks like me, don't be careless. Treat them as enemies first.]

The letter ends here.

Hoshino Hideyuki scratched his head and sighed.

What is this old cat demon writing? You like to only say half of what you want to say, right? You still won’t let me go… You still forget about you… If you really want me to forget about you, then why do you keep your hair? It’s a contradiction.

Is this person possessed by some third-rate romance writer?

After thinking for a while.

Hoshino Hideyuki put the letter away, having already made a decision in his mind.

There is no doubt that Ryoko Senjougahara is in trouble now.

Although she seemed not to want Uncle Fox to interfere, but... Uncle Fox, when did I become a person who would listen to others?

In the fox's view, although the old cat demon made him suffer a little in the beginning, after spending a long time together, the relationship between the two had long become that of both teacher and friend.

How could I, a fox, just ignore the danger facing my friend and half-teacher?

So if you want to manage...

Judging from what is at hand, there are two directions.

One is to start with this strand of hair to see if he can enter dreams or tell fortunes - on the third day after successfully rescuing Yukiho Amamiya, he took the initiative to find Senjougahara Ryoko to learn the dream-entering technique, and now he can use it.

Secondly, I will continue to investigate the game Tokyo Fever.

Oh, no matter how you think about it, it's a very, very troublesome thing...

"Tsk tsk..."

Hoshino Hideyuki twisted his neck and walked out of the secret realm through the door.

Instead of burying the bell back in the soil, he put it in his pocket, then transformed himself into a pigeon and flew towards the Chinese restaurant.

More than twenty minutes later, Hoshino Hideyuki returned to the store and found that everyone was waiting for him. There were several new dishes on the table, and no one had touched them.

When Yukiho Amamiya saw him coming back, she looked up and smiled: "I had a feeling that you wouldn't be gone for long. Now it seems that my premonition was very accurate~"

Asuka Tendo followed up with, "Does this mean that Cybertronians are easy to deal with?"

Ijichi Kikuri also smiled, but didn't say anything. She just went out and asked the waiter to help reheat the dishes.

When Hoshino Hideyuki looked at this scene, he felt his little fox heart warm and his body was full of energy again.

He stretched his waist and sat back in his seat.

Ijichi Kikuri asked with concern: "So, have you finished your so-called important things?"

"Not yet. You could even say that I've only just started, but I do have some ideas..."

As Hoshino Hideyuki said this, he took out Senjougahara Ryoko's hair and handed it to Tendou Xixia, saying, "Xixia-san, can you help me and try to see if you can tell anything from this?"

"No problem! I promise to complete the mission!"

Upon hearing her idol's request, Tiantong Xixia excitedly took the hair with both hands and started to take out things on the spot, such as copper coins, wooden sticks, and crystal balls...

Oh no, the crystal ball and the style of the ancient Onmyoji family don’t seem to match!

Hoshino Hideyuki raised his eyebrows, and Tendo Asuka beside him explained:

"Divination has developed to the point where various schools have merged and learned from each other. Xixia not only knows how to use a crystal ball, but also knows how to play tarot cards and say MBTI tongue twisters. Of course, that's mainly used to soothe people's hearts... Fox, instead of being curious about this, why don't you tell us where your hair came from?"

Ijichi Kikuri and Amamiya Yukiho also looked over, the latter narrowed her eyes and smiled, "I didn't expect that Mr. Fox had someone else's hair besides my own. Oh my..."

Hiss, the atmosphere has become a little strange!

Whatever...

At this point, there is no need to hide some things. If you try to cover them up deliberately, it will easily cause misunderstandings.

Thinking of this, Hoshino Hideyuki waved his hand, called the three women to his side, and whispered about his story with Senjougahara Ryoko.

Of course, he only told a simplified version, after all, time was limited, and some details were indeed a bit embarrassing...

After listening to this, the three women sighed:

"So that's how you got your skills back then, Fox."

"No wonder you know so many things and learn new spells even though you don't have any inheritance."

"Ah, really, since they are friends we have known for a long time and have helped each other, there is no way to chase them away..."

Hey, what the hell is driving away?

And I always feel that you have new misunderstandings after my explanation... But...

Hoshino Hideyuki thought that these new misunderstandings might not be a bad thing, so he simply stopped explaining and said in a deep voice: "This is the situation..."
