I'm raising a fox fairy wife in Tokyo

This is the third curse of the "Soul-Stealing Beauties"—

【The Tower of Blazing Fire】

Chapter 77 Subduing complete! My fire is stronger than yours!

Yoshiwara was burned down multiple times during the Edo period.

among them.

Most famous for the Great Fire of 1657, which completely destroyed the Yoshiwara pleasure quarters near Nihonbashi, leading to its relocation to the area near present-day Asakusa.

随后是1768年、1787年、1816年、1835年、1845年、1862年、1864年、1866年……

Why is this happening?

Some say it was a pure accident;

Some say it was a suicide pact between lovers;

Or perhaps it's a woman's revenge;

……

Yoshiwara always has many stories, but no matter what happened, in the end, what is imprinted in everyone's eyes is this great fire.

The fluttering fireflies danced gracefully in the night, igniting everything they touched.

Beneath the bright moon, a sea of ​​crimson fire boils.

Yoshiwara has no sun.

some.

It is a raging fire of resentment that uses life as fuel to burn everything to ashes.

"Aa ...

The courtesan, holding a hand mirror, continued to wail in utter despair.

The woman was no longer the beautiful woman she had been moments before.

now.

Her once beautiful hair had been almost entirely gone due to illness and fire, leaving only a few bald strands. The surface of her hair, which had been scorched by the high temperature, was gradually melting and turned a dark red color.

Ugly and unsightly things are considered worthless in Yoshiwara.

So let it be destroyed!

The "heaven" that was burned by the flames of resentment from "hell" reappears in the world at this moment.

The colorful fire butterflies, formed from countless sparks, represent the woman who was born here and died here, clinging to the last vestiges of beauty.

"That's too much."

Tens of thousands?

Hundreds of thousands?

Or millions?

The entire city had been completely engulfed in flames, with countless fire butterflies dancing in the air like a flowing, brilliant sea of ​​stars.

then.

It swept towards him and Su Nuo.

It wasn't waves anymore, it was an overwhelming mass.

Su Nuo, who had already been beaten to the point of near death, was instantly devoured by the fire butterfly. Within seconds, he aged completely, turning into a dried-up corpse and then into charcoal.

They also use fire butterflies as their attack method.

The third curse of the courtesan, "Blazing Pavilion," is on a completely different level compared to the first curse, "Soul Sipping."

In a sense.

This can already be considered the "domain" of sorcerers.

"Burn torches! Burn torches! Burn torches! Hahahaha!! We'll drain you dry, leaving not a drop of blood, and then burn you all, along with your descendants, to ashes!!!"

Having absorbed all of Su Nuo's energy, the courtesan regained her beauty, and so she began to dance in the fire.

She was a woman basking in victory.

A dance that bordered on madness.

"How do they dance wearing such tall wooden clogs? They must be at least 20 centimeters high... It must be hard to even walk in those. They're definitely professionals."

Facing the fire butterflies flying towards him from all directions, above and below.

Takagawa Ryu actually had the mind to observe the courtesan's dance; if the girls were here, they would definitely criticize it harshly.

however.

Now only Minamoto Chizuru is there. The big fox doesn't know how to make sarcastic remarks. He just looks at the woman dancing wildly in the distance with a bit of a dazed expression, and then thinks that what his husband said seems to make sense!

Indeed, how did they manage that?!

The shrine maidens at the old shrine never wore such high clogs when they danced!

Fire butterflies swarmed in.

But what was ignited was not the boy, but a wisp of air.

It's an illusion again.

The boy emerged from behind the charred remains of Su Nuo, then squatted down and retrieved his own charred hand.

Ah, it's been completely drained.

The large mouth on the palm opened slightly, sticking out a bit of its already somewhat carbonized tongue.

They can't even speak anymore.

The courtesan is indeed formidable.

Takagawa Ryu put it, along with the two fingers he had previously taken, into the spare kitten doll.

So far.

The capture of the 【Soul-Stirring Flower Queen】 went very smoothly, so now it's time for the final cleanup.

There are usually two ways for a medium to form a contract with a spirit and make it their "Pokémon".

First: Fulfill the agreement with the other party.

[Ling] usually has her own worldview and obsessions, so as long as you talk to her and help her do what she wants to do, and increase her favorability, then you can successfully sign a contract to drive her.

For example, the self-harming boy and Nanami were like that.

However, there are also extremely antisocial spirits that are impossible to communicate with properly, or perhaps the medium is simply too lazy to do such a troublesome thing.

Then.

The second method is the only option left.

Second: To deeply imprint fear and dread into the depths of their hearts.

In short, it's about using force to make them submit to you.

The advantage is that it's really simple and straightforward.

The downside is that it might betray you at any time, and once summoned, it might even become your first target.

now.

Gao Chuanlong looked at the fire butterflies that were gathering around him again, and at the woman's resentful eyes in the flames.

【The Soul-Stirring Courtesan】is an extremely dangerous spirit.

It symbolizes all the dark sides of Yoshiwara, so the jealousy, suspicion, resentment, and hatred unique to women living in this hell are all vividly embodied in her.

He wanted to win her over.

Therefore, the only option left is the second method of subjugation, namely, military conquest.

But there are techniques involved.

First, let Sukuna fight the other party to make them realize that in terms of strength, they are no match for Sukuna at all. Then, I will take action and easily defeat Sukuna.

This will naturally make her feel the gap between herself and others.

Followed by.

To crush her as she unleashes her ultimate move, and to do so beautifully and spectacularly.

If so...

"Chizuru, let's use fire too."

"it is good!"

Faced with the swarming fire butterflies, the beautiful woman behind the boy also had her nine fox tails fluttering in mid-air transformed into brilliant streams of fire.

In legends, great fox demons usually possess several abilities.

One is illusion;

Because of people's descriptions of her beauty, and the stories that she was so beautiful that she could bewitch even emperors, the legend evolved that she could control people's minds and senses, create illusions, and make people intoxicated by them.

The second is foxfire;

How are foxes and fire associated?

Whether in major Eastern countries or Japan, in historical records, the so-called "ghost fire" is usually regarded as the work of fox spirits, but the so-called ghost fire is actually phosphorescent fire, a natural phenomenon.

The true origin of the fox spirit and fire.

One of the most widely known legends about the nine-tailed fox, originating from the East.

【Daji】.

And the story of how she ultimately burned down the Shikadai (Rokudai Terrace), reducing the entire country to ashes, is even found in some Japanese legends about Tamamo-no-Mae, where she is said to have burned down Kyoto.

Foxfire.

It is a flame that overthrows and destroys emperors and nations.

"So, my fire is more powerful than yours."

A fire that could destroy the capital city was certainly better than one that burned down Yoshiwara.

In the blink of an eye.

Beneath the raging flames that threatened to boil the night moon, Takagawa Ryu calmly walked up to the courtesan, who had been burned to a crisp once more.

In just a moment, the outcome was decided.

He picked up the hand mirror that she had dropped beside him. The woman now only had half of her face charred black, and the original fire butterfly had all vanished with the wind, leaving her with no way to restore her body.

"Make a contract with me."

"..."

There was no option but to die; for Takagawa Takayuki, the courtesan had no right to refuse.

Put away the hand mirror that served as the other party's coffin.

The foxfire, which was originally meant to encompass the entire world, vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye, as if it had never existed at all.

Yoshiwara has returned to its former state.

No matter how many times it burns down, this place will always remain, just like the bright moon in the sky right now.

In a sense.

【Yoshihara】.

It inherently contains elements of human origins, so as long as humanity exists, it will continue to exist.

"what……"

That's the end of it. Unexpectedly, I gained a powerful assistant, so all the trouble tonight was worth it.

That is.
