Yes, Lady Funina!

After a while, Clarinde still didn't go back to sleep, but came out of the house instead.

Unlike Frynn, who looked like she hadn't woken up yet, Clarinde seemed much more normal.

Although she slept for about the same amount of time as Funina, she had been awake for shorter periods of time before.

"Where is the Divine Child?" The first thing Clarinde asked when she came out was where her comrade was.

After all, if she didn't have any allies and wanted to take on Richard one-on-one, Clarinde's legs would go weak just thinking about it.

“She must be itching for a beating,” Richard replied. “Huh?” Clarind didn’t understand what Richard meant. “She went to find Shadow,” Richard said.

Clarinde blinked, still unable to grasp the logic between the two, why going to find Shadow was considered asking for trouble.

Could it be that the Eightfold Divine Child went to get beaten up?

Wait a minute, Claude suddenly remembered why she and Yae no Miko had escaped death last night, and a look of realization appeared on her face.

Hey~

"Oh my god!" Li sensed that Clarinde must have misunderstood something, but then again, she didn't seem to have misunderstood anything.

Meanwhile, inside the castle tower, Yae no Miko had already met with Kage.

"What are you doing? Do you know that you're kicking someone after they've served their purpose? How can the mighty Narukami repay kindness with enmity!"

With brisk steps, Yae no Miko played hide-and-seek with the shadow, using the desk as the center and its length as the radius.

Oh no, it should be "avoiding slippers".

"I just came over to check on you a bit, is it necessary to react so strongly?" Yae no Miko thought that Kage was really being unfair.

When she gave it to Richard, he and Shadow were inseparable, and Shadow immediately came to her to share his experiences.

Now when she asks Ying how she feels, all she gets in return are slippers. Is that reasonable?

After wandering around for a while, Yae no Miko was also a little tired, so he gave in and said:

"Alright, alright, I won't ask anymore. You can rest now."

However, Ying ignored him. She knew Yae no Miko too well. He said he wouldn't ask now, but he would definitely try to find out information indirectly later and wouldn't give up until he found out.

Seeing that Kage was determined not to let her off the hook, Yae no Miko gave up struggling.

She simply closed her eyes and transformed into a pink-furred little fox, sprawling out on the tatami mat, as if to say, "Hit me however you want."

However, the familiar pain did not come. Yae no Miko felt her neck being lifted up, her limbs hanging down naturally, and her clear eyes meeting the shadow's gaze.

Yae no Miko should not use this tactic of retreating to advance too skillfully. Whenever she transforms into her fox cub form, there is never a time when she cannot capture the shadow.

I suppose this time will be the same...

"Wow."

(Sound of a wooden door being pushed open)

Yae no Miko felt a sudden weightlessness, then instinctively landed on all fours, deftly dissipating the force of the fall.

"Wow."

(The wooden door was pulled closed)

A hint of confusion flashed in Yae no Miko's fox eyes; this seemed to be quite different from what she had expected.

What happened? The shadow evolved overnight?

Her Shadow Form was immediately removed from the game?

Despite being turned away, Yae no Miko was not discouraged; on the contrary, she became increasingly curious about what had happened the previous night.

Because of Ying's behavior just now, it was obvious that she wasn't shy or embarrassed, but rather that she was hiding something and didn't want her to know.

As we all know, foxes are extremely curious creatures, and they are also very intelligent.

"Since Shadow doesn't want to talk, why not let the General deal with me?" Yae no Miko muttered to herself.

Based on past experience, if Shadow doesn't want to see her, he usually sends General Thunder to deal with her.

After all, as a puppet with a set program, General Raiden could not be persuaded in the slightest by Yae no Miko's silver tongue.

The main point is that he is indifferent to everything.

However, this time, even though Shadow clearly didn't want to say another word to her, she still took action in her true form instead of having General Thunder do it for her.

The information revealed here has truly sparked a lot of speculation in the fox.

Could it be that my previous guess was correct?

Yae no Miko revealed a meaningful smile, and her entire body transformed back into human form from a fox. She stood up from the ground, bent down, and patted off imaginary dust from her clothes.

They did not choose to stay in the general's mansion any longer, since the meaning Ying wanted to express was quite clear, and staying any longer would be of no use.

Ying will not see her, nor will she say much to her.

So, go back to find Richard? The thought had barely crossed my mind when Yae no Miko dismissed it. If Kage wouldn't say anything, Richard certainly wouldn't.

It's obvious that the two in-laws have reached some kind of agreement. Given Richard's personality, as long as Shadow doesn't allow him to say it, he absolutely won't reveal a single detail, and no amount of subtle probing will work.

Therefore, the best way is to try to see General Thunder or find out what happened to him.

Surely it couldn't be that General Thunder suddenly interfered while Shadow and Richard were having a good time, could it?

Yae no Miko thought the probability of that was low. After all, it was unlikely that Kage would not turn off Do Not Disturb when he was being intimate with Richard.

Do you really not consider General Thunder an outsider?

After internally making a few sarcastic remarks about her friend, Yae no Miko had already made up her mind.

"What are the plans for today?" After washing up and looking refreshed, Funina came out of the house and asked Richard.

"Is there anything you want to do?" Richard asked in return.

“Answering questions with questions is not gentlemanly at all.” Furnessa raised a finger, but quickly changed her tone:

"But speaking of which, there is something I really want to confirm."

As she spoke, Funina hurried back to her room and took out a book of supernatural tales by Inazuma.

"Richard, you've been in Inazuma for so long, have you ever encountered any of the monsters described in this book?" Funina asked curiously.

"Haven't you already seen it?" Richard said, implying that Yae no Miko was Inazuma's greatest yokai.

As the current "+" of the spirit fox clan, and with yokai gradually fading from the historical stage of Inazuma, Yae no Miko is the most powerful yokai in all of Inazuma.

“The Divine Child doesn’t count. I want to see the other yokai in Inazuma. It’s said that the tanuki here can transform into all sorts of things, which is very magical.” Funina wanted to know if there were such yokai in Inazuma in real life.

If they really exist, how exactly do they do it, and how realistically can the things they create be?

All of this piqued Funina's curiosity.

"The Tanuki demon clan... they can indeed transform into various things, but they're mostly small objects."

"Then... do you know where they are? Are they friendly or not? Do they bite? Are they dangerous?" Funina's eyes lit up, her attention immediately drawn to Richard's words.

"They're not really dangerous. They rarely attack people; in fact, they prefer playing with humans," Richard thought about the habits of the Inatsume tanuki.

"They can sing and dance, and often hide in the mountains and forests. Occasionally, when they are in the mood, they will play a game of hide-and-seek with passing travelers. The traveler who wins the game will receive a reward from the fox demon, usually something like mora or berries."

"That sounds interesting!" Upon hearing that there was no danger, Funina immediately became bolder. She could sing and dance, and loved games; just hearing about her made her seem harmless.

"Perhaps," Richard said noncommittally.

Actually, it depends on the person. Some people like to play with the fox demon, while others hate it and feel that it is a waste of their time.

Moreover, as the number of yokai in Inatsume decreases, tanuki yokai rarely appear in front of people anymore. For many Inatsume people, these little yokai that they used to encounter often have almost become just a collection of strange tales in literary works.

"Then...do you know where they live now?" Funina was really curious about these demon foxes. "Well..." Richard kept her in suspense.

Furnessa moved closer, tugging at Richard's sleeve, and without caring whether Clorind was nearby, whispered:

"Tell me!"

Claurind felt that if he could withstand an attack of this level, he would be a god.

“I’ve been away from Inazuma for a long time, and I don’t know if the Yokai Tanuki clan has moved over the years…” Richard said, trying to be on the safe side.

"You must have a way, right?"

If it were the old Funina, she would definitely have performed a Sichuan opera face-changing act after hearing Richard's uncertain words.

But now, Funina has suffered too much like this and has truly learned her lesson, so even if Richard really doesn't know, she will assume that Richard can do it.

Therefore, Richard couldn't simply say he would do nothing.

Frynn really figured out how to play Richard.

"Perhaps you could go to Yae no Miko. As a fellow demon, she must know where the demon fox clan lives now." Richard decided to find something for Yae no Miko to do.

This also serves as a way to draw some fire from the Shadow, lest the Shadow really push him too far and give the Divine Child a childhood meal.

"Looking for the Divine Child...wouldn't that be too much trouble for them?" Funina hesitated.

Yae no Miko has a good relationship with Clarin, but her relationship with Frinna is more so.

It's not exactly normal, it's more like... we're very familiar with each other, but we can't really talk to each other.

Even though both Funina and Yae no Miko are social butterflies, they actually have very little to say to each other when they get together.

It's just magical.

"Should I go ask her?" Clorind noticed Funina's predicament and volunteered.

"Is that alright?" Funina also felt that it would definitely be more effective for Clorind to say it than for her.

"Of course, there's no problem."

As if on cue, the Eightfold Divine Child returned from outside the door. Upon hearing Funina's request, he readily agreed without waiting for Clarinde to speak.

“I think the Tanuki clan will also welcome Lady Funina’s arrival,” Yae no Miko said with a smile.

When her beautiful eyes swept over Richard, she noticed that he was looking at her buttocks with a half-smile, and her smile froze.

But soon she looked at Richard and said:

"Are you coming along? I remember the demon fox clan really liked you back then."

After all, when Richard first arrived in Inazuma, it was a time when Inazuma was in ruins and there were still many monsters left over from the dark disaster deep in the forest.

In order to test his skills, Richard also took the opportunity to clear out many monsters in the forest and rescue many fox demons.

If the fox clan has the highest affection for Richard among the Inazuma yokai, then the tanuki clan definitely has the second highest.

"Then let's go together." Richard had no objection; it had been a long time since he'd seen those little rascals.

"It's settled then. We'll set off as soon as Klee wakes up!" Of course, Funina wouldn't forget her sister-in-law about something so fun.

Before long, Klee came out of the room. Before she was fully awake, Funina volunteered to take Klee into the bathroom.

After washing up and changing into her pretty new clothes, Klee suddenly lost her appetite for breakfast when she learned that she was going to see a monster. Her mind was already on the monster.

Of course, breakfast was a must. Under Richard's supervision, Klee obediently finished her breakfast, and then the group left the city.

Not long after leaving Inazuma Castle, Klee, with her sharp eyes, spotted the blind spot.

She tugged at Funina's sleeve, pointed to a round, plump creature under a tree stump not far away, and exclaimed in surprise:

"Sister Funingna, look! It's a fox demon!"

"Deceive? It really is deceive!" Fryna looked in the direction Klee was pointing and found that it was indeed true.

However, the 'demon fox' seemed to have been woken up, stretched, and casually replied:

"Ah~ it's not a fox demon, it's a raccoon dog!"

Chapter 260 Ayato Kamisato's Letter & Yoshifuji

"Crane?" Klee felt that the little person in front of her, who was about the same age as her, was lying through her teeth.

She was wearing... what was that outfit again? Klee's small eyes were filled with confusion.

But no matter what, it definitely can't be a crane, since it doesn't even have wings, so how can it be called a crane?

"You're lying. You don't even have wings, how can you be a crane?" Klee thought the raccoon in front of her was a very, very bad raccoon.

"How can a raccoon dog have wings?" The little girl, who looked like she hadn't woken up yet, asked the same question.

It was only then that she belatedly realized what Klee meant.
