Nana Hashimoto, who was standing on the roof of the hospital, couldn't help but shrink her neck and hugged her arms tightly. In Tokyo at the beginning of February, the night was undoubtedly still a little cold, and Nana Hashimoto, who felt that her feet were a little cold, couldn't help but stomp her feet to warm herself.

Hearing the sound of Nana Hashimoto stomping her feet, Qianye turned around and found that Nana Hashimoto was stomping her feet to keep warm, and immediately understood her negligence, so she said to Nanami Hashimoto: "Miss Hashimoto, if you feel cold, go down first." ”

Nana Hashimoto shook his head stubbornly: "No, I want to see with my own eyes that Qianye-san you ambush that demon fox." After saying that, Nana Hashimoto looked at Chiya with serious eyes.

Feeling Nanami Hashimoto's gaze, Qianye nodded, took out a red bead from his body, and handed it to Nanami Hashimoto: "Since Miss Hashimoto insists on you, please put this fire bead on your body, at least it can warm you a little." ”

Nana Hashimoto didn't take the fire bead in Chiya's hand, and suddenly felt like she had taken over a stove and felt warm. Glancing at the fiery red beads in his hand in surprise, Nana Hashimoto held them in the palm of his hand.

"Qianye-san, give it to me, so what do you do?" Nana Hashimoto couldn't help but ask Asahi Chiya with concern.

Qianye smiled and said, "It's okay, the night breeze hasn't made you feel cold yet." This fire bead was given to Miss Hashimoto, hoping to warm you up. ”

Hearing Chiya say this, Nana Hashimoto had no choice but to obediently put the fire bead into his arms. Suddenly, a warm current emanated from the fire, making Nanami Hashimoto feel that her whole body was warm, and at the same time, a sweet feeling also flowed into her heart.

Just when Nana Hashimoto didn't feel her own little sweetness, Qianye suddenly looked into the distance with sharp eyes, and said with a sneer on the corner of her mouth: "Want to escape? It's late! ”

As he spoke, Qianye raised his finger and put it to his mouth and read: "Net-bound monsters, there is nothing to hide!" ”

Nanami Hashimoto, who didn't understand Qianye's movements, couldn't help but ask curiously: "Qianye-san, what are you doing here?" Did the demon fox escape? ”

"Run? Even the big monster of the year, the nine-tailed demon fox Yuzao, couldn't escape in front of this spell, let alone just an ordinary demon fox. Qianye's face was full of disdain for the demon fox.

"Then have you caught this demon fox now?" Nana Hashimoto didn't remember that Mai Shiraishi was still in a coma, and asked with concern.

Qianye smiled confidently at Nanami Hashimoto: "Of course, I've already caught it, and soon it will appear in front of you, Miss Hashimoto." ”

Hearing Qianye say this, Nana Hashimoto didn't let go of the worry in her heart, and then looked at Qianye with some tangled eyes, and said with some hesitation: "Qianye-san, if you want to cure Mai, do you have to kill that demon fox?" ”

"No, if it's just Miss Shiraishi and Officer Twilight, all you need to do is put some blood on this demon fox." Senya is a little strange about Nanami Hashimoto's question.

Hearing Qianye's answer, Nana Hashimoto hesitated for a while before turning his back to Officer Sato, looking at Qianye with hopeful eyes and saying, "Then Qianye-san, can you not kill this demon fox?" Speaking of this, as if afraid of being heard by Officer Sato behind him, Nanami Hashimoto's voice lowered and said in a gnat-like voice: "I don't want to have blood and killing on your hands in a thousand nights." Young Nanami Hashimoto apparently didn't want her crush to be associated with such a thing as "killing", even if it was a demon fox.

Looking at Nanami Hashimoto's serious expression, Qianye's incomparably hard heart polished by thousands of years also had a hint of softness, and he looked into Nanami Hashimoto's eyes, in these beautiful eyes, Qianye only saw concern and worry. So Qianye nodded and said to Nanami Hashimoto: "Okay, I promise you, as long as this demon fox doesn't seek death by itself, I won't kill it." But it must pay for its crimes, counting the attacks that were prevented last night and the Mai-like incident, a total of nineteen attacks and twenty-one deaths. I will seal it and give it to Officer Sato to be tried by the law. ”

Nana Hashimoto looked at Chiya with some joy, obviously very happy that Chiya was able to follow her advice.

When Taisha heard Chiya say that she was going to peel off the skin of the demon fox, Nanami Hashimoto already wanted to dissuade Chiya, and she was kind-hearted and didn't want Chiya to be a cruel person. Therefore, after hesitating for a long time, Nana Hashimoto opened her mouth to persuade Qianye not to kill this demon fox. In Nana Hashimoto, the onmyoji, who has lived for a thousand years, is afraid that it has become a habit or instinct to kill monsters. Fortunately, Chiya listened to her advice, which made Nana Hashimoto happy and at the same time feel Chiya's love for her.

Just when Nana Hashimoto and Chiya looked at each other gently, a red light flew from afar, interrupting the little warmth between the two.

Feeling the approach of this red light, Chiya turned around and protected Nana Hashimoto behind him. Looking at Chiya standing in front of her, Nana Hashimoto didn't feel a sense of peace of mind and looked at Chiya's back.

The red light landed and turned into a large net, and inside the net was a huge red fox, with a feather arrow stuck in its brown-red fur, and the arrow was deep under the fur, and the red blood was flowing down the wound. At its tail, three huge tails are wrapped in a large net, clinging to its body.

Nana Hashimoto grabbed Chiya's sleeve with some fear and hid behind him. The huge fox in front of her, which could reach Nanami Hashimoto's chest even if she was lying on the ground, shocked the girl greatly.

"Mr. Chiba, is this the murderer?" Officer Sato on the side rushed forward at this time, drew his matching gun, and pointed nervously at the giant fox.

Chiba nodded, patted Nana Hashimoto's hand that did not grab his sleeve without a trace, comforted the girl and said, "Yes, the murderer you are looking for is the demon fox in front of you." If you look at its eyes, the circle of red light around its pupils is proof that it preys on humans. If it's a youkai that has never harmed a human, it shouldn't have this circle of red light around its pupils. ”

Nanami Hashimoto and Officer Sato immediately looked at the same huge eyes of the giant fox's head, only to see that in the two golden eyes of the giant fox, there was indeed a circle of red light on the edge of the pupils, which looked extremely bloody.

Looking at the giant fox in front of him, which was comparable in size to a polar bear, Officer Sato couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Although it is certainly a pleasure to be able to solve the case after catching the murderer, the demon fox with such a huge body in front of him makes Officer Sato feel tricky. Officer Sato can imagine how much of a wave the giant fox in front of him would make if it appeared in front of the public. Although there have been various yokai and strange stories in Japan since ancient times, and even the Heian period is said to be an era when demons and humans coexisted, the impact on the entire society when a real demon fox appears in front of people's eyes will undoubtedly cause great problems.

Even if Officer Sato was just an ordinary police officer, he could imagine how much of an impact this would have.

Looking at Officer Sato, who was looking at the melancholy face in front of him, Chiya, who guessed what he was thinking, said: "The monster has not yet reached the point where it can openly appear in front of humans, and I will seal the power of this demon fox and hand it over to you in human form, and when the time comes, please follow the procedures of the law and make it pay the price it deserves." ”

Seeing that Qianye was willing to seal the giant fox in front of him into a human form, Officer Sato hurriedly thanked Qianye after letting out a sigh of relief.

Qianye waved his hand, obviously not caring about the comparison, and he said to Officer Sato: "Officer Sato, can you please avoid it next, the process of sealing is not suitable for watching." Looking at Officer Sato's hesitant eyes, Chiya added, "Please rest assured, I will hand over the prisoner you want." ”

Hearing Qianye say this, although he was extremely interested in the Onmyoji sealing demon fox, Officer Sato could only put away his gun, bowed to Qianye to express his gratitude, and left the rooftop.

After Officer Sato left the rooftop, Chiya turned around and said to Nanami Hashimoto in a gentle tone: "Nana Min, you should also avoid it, the next scene is not suitable for you to see." ”

Nana Hashimoto grabbed Qianye's arm without worrying: "Qianya, what are you going to do?" You promised me not to kill it. ”

Qianye rubbed Nanami Hashimoto's hair dotingly, and said to her: "I promised you not to kill it, but the process of sealing it is a bit bloody and not suitable for you to watch." In order to avoid your nightmare tonight, Nanamin, it is better for you to avoid it. ”

Seeing that Qianye's eyes insisted, Nana Hashimoto could only puff out her cheeks, pretend to be unhappy and leave the rooftop after being coquettish to Qianye.

After all the irrelevant people left, Qianye turned around, looked at the demon fox in front of him who was tied to the net, and said with a cold look in his eyes: "Now, we can have a good chat about why you are collecting so many raw livers." ”

Facing the cold eyes and pulling out the thousand nights of "fox crying", the demon fox's huge eyes were full of despair.

——————————————————

Nanami Hashimoto and Officer Sato didn't wait long, and Chiya and Wakadie stepped down from the rooftop.

Almost as soon as he saw Qianye and Wakadie, Nanami Hashimoto blushed, turned around, and shouted in a shy tone: "Qianya! ”

At this time, Officer Sato also took off his coat with embarrassment, intending to cover the naked body of the woman who was lifted by Wakadie. After Officer Sato put his coat over the naked woman, he asked Chiya with an embarrassed face, "Mr. Chiba, what's going on?" ”

Chiya pointed at the woman and said to Officer Sato, "This is the criminal you want, and after I sealed it in human form, it became like this." ”

At this time, Nana Hashimoto also turned around, still blushing and asked, "Then why is she not wearing clothes?" ”

Chiya explained with a dumb smile, "When youkai changed from animal form to human form, they had no clothes. The so-called clothing is either prepared in advance, or it is a magic illusion. This demon fox was sealed with demonic power by me, so naturally it can't be transformed. Speaking of which, Chiya showed Nanami Hashimoto and Officer Sato the two glass bottles in their hands, which contained a red liquid: "This is the blood of the demon fox, as long as this blood is given to Miss Shiraishi and Officer Twilight, the fox poison in them can be removed." ”

Nanami Hashimoto and Officer Sato were both happy to hear the news and said, "Great! ”
