"—No, don't be so nervous, Gu Chuan-jun."
She spoke slowly in a gentle tone, full of reassurance.
"I have no ill intentions towards you."
“I am not from any, state, official secret agency.”
"You can think of me as an unofficial, grassroots mediator, similar to a neighborhood committee auntie."
"My job is very simple."
She paused, and at that moment, her obsidian eyes, which appeared even more profound, mysterious, and beautiful behind her gold-rimmed glasses, uncontrollably flashed a golden light that was "eerie," alluring, and captivating!
Beneath her sophisticated and elegant black pencil skirt, a huge, fluffy, pure white "fox tail" was faintly visible, appearing and disappearing in a fleeting moment!
"—That is, to ensure that fragile, vulnerable balance exists between the ordinary humans living in the surface world and the restless little ones hiding in the inner world in our city..."
"It won't be easily and completely disrupted by some sudden, unreasonable, and powerful outsiders like you."
The 212th Fox's Tea Party and the New "Games"
"—A dragon crossing the river?"
Gu Chuan looked at the "health teacher" in front of him. One second she was full of intellectual and ascetic aura, and the next second she revealed a real posture full of "eerie" and "allure", which was "inhuman". The expression of "surprise" on her face was gradually replaced by a more profound, playful smile called "fun".
He showed absolutely no tension or vigilance.
Instead, as if it had finally found a kindred spirit with whom it could have an equal dialogue, it slowly spoke in a relaxed tone full of understanding.
"--I see."
"I thought our school was just an ordinary, peaceful human campus, full of youth and hormones."
"But, unexpectedly, there was someone like you, teacher, hidden away, beautiful, and powerful..."
He paused, and at that moment, his black eyes seemed even more profound and mysterious than the beautiful obsidian eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses, which shimmered with a cunning, eerie golden light.
He clearly and explicitly revealed, word by word, her oldest and truest "identity," hidden beneath the name "Yura Chitose," a name brimming with "humanity."
"—A descendant of Tamamo-no-Mae?"
boom--!
In that instant, Yura Chitose's face, which always carried an intellectual smile and seemed to have everything under control, froze completely for the first time—a sly smile full of "successful scheme."
A massive, terrifying demonic power belonging to a "great demon," powerful enough to shatter all the glass in the entire infirmary in an instant, filled with shock and disbelief, erupted uncontrollably from her mature and incredibly alluring body!
However, that violent demonic power, enough to instantly tear any mortal who dared to pry into her "true name" to shreds, when it reached the black-haired boy sitting calmly opposite her, was like the gentlest, most tender, and powerless spring breeze, failing to lift even the slightest corner of his clothes.
"……you……"
Yura Chitose's beautiful obsidian eyes, which were full of wisdom and gentleness, contracted sharply at this moment!
Her last and most powerful "trump card" as the "mediator" was so easily exposed by this mysterious and unreasonable "transfer student"!
"Hehe, no, don't get so excited, teacher."
Gu Chuan looked at her beautiful face, which was showing an "out-of-control" expression for the first time. The smile on her face was becoming more and more "malicious" and full of the playful amusement of a "victor".
He slowly reached out his hand, and with a gentle gesture full of "soothing" meaning, he soothed the violent demonic power that had been forcibly frozen in mid-air by his power as the "ruler," as if he were stroking a frightened, ruffled, cute kitten.
"I have no ill intentions towards you."
He mimicked her previous tone and spoke slowly.
"I am just a simple, passing-by, pacifist collector who likes to collect things. That's all."
"I don't like to take the initiative to cause trouble."
He paused, and at that moment, his black eyes were once again tinged with a cold, unquestionable gold that belonged to a "king".
"However, if some foolish troublemaker insists on provoking me..."
"Then, I wouldn't mind taking the opportunity to thoroughly clean up all those so-called troubles, along with all the traces they left behind, from this world."
Listen to that calm, yet unequivocal declaration of absolute and unquestionable "hegemony."
Yura Qianjie, fell silent.
She looked at the boy before her, who clearly appeared to be just an ordinary, handsome "human" boy, yet he could so easily dissolve her demonic power, which was enough to make any "great demon" fear him, and even reveal her mysterious "transfer student" whose "true name" had been forgotten for thousands of years.
Her most acute and cunning intuition, that of a "fox," was telling her with absolute clarity—
The man before me is a true "monster" whom I absolutely cannot be my enemy.
One, more unfathomable than any so-called "god" or "demon" she had ever seen so far.
Even more dangerous.
a long time.
On her face, which had been filled with shock and solemnity, that perfect professional smile, full of "intellect" and "composure," that belonged to a "health teacher," reappeared.
She slowly took out a set of exquisite tea utensils full of classical charm from a small, temperature-controlled refrigerator under her desk.
Then, with elegant, flowing movements full of "tea ceremony," she brewed a cup of top-grade, chilled Jade Dew for Gu Chuan and herself, exuding a faint, cool, calming, and unique "spiritual herb" fragrance.
"It seems that my previous hospitality was indeed somewhat impolite."
She gently pushed one of the cups of emerald green tea, which exuded a faint spiritual aura, in front of Gu Chuan, and spoke slowly in a tone full of sincerity, as if she were conversing with a true "equal and powerful person".
"Then, let me reintroduce myself."
"My name is Yura Chitose."
"Yes, the unofficial, hereditary guardian and mediator of this region."
"My job is very simple."
"That is, to ensure that the fragile, vulnerable balance between the inner and outer worlds of our city is not easily broken by some uncontrollable factors."
Her beautiful obsidian eyes, filled with wisdom and inquiry, fell upon Gu Chuan once more.
"—And you, Gu Chuanjun, and your ever-growing family, filled with the aura of a powerful figure, are undoubtedly the biggest and most unreasonable destabilizing factor I have ever seen in these hundreds of years."
"I cannot restrain you. Nor do I have the ability to restrain you."
"so……"
She watched as the mysterious man, leisurely savoring the top-grade jade dew she had brewed with the most precious "spiritual herbs," slowly uttered her most cunning, sincere, and entirely new "proposal."
"Let's play a new game."
"I can use my intelligence network, which I've cultivated in this city for hundreds of years, to provide you with information on all those restless, unbalanced little guys from the underworld."
"And you, you are responsible for using your unreasonable and powerful strength to thoroughly clean up those troubles that I cannot personally handle."
Clean. “艺磷衣七司w?u揪〣师氿〢覇。”
"For you and me, this should be a win-win situation, full of fun, shouldn't it?"
She was trying to transform this terrifying "dragon crossing the river," which she could not control at all, into the sharpest and most powerful "knife" to protect her "courtyard."
"--Oh?"
Gu Chuan put down his teacup. (Wang Zhao's)
Looking at the beautiful "vixen" before him, full of wisdom and cunning, a smile of excitement, the kind that only a hunter would have when he sees an equally clever "prey," appeared on his face.
"It sounds like, it seems, very meaningful."
"—So, as our first expression of goodwill, we wish to cooperate happily."
Yura Chitose took out a somewhat old-fashioned kraft paper file from the drawer and gently placed it in front of Gu Chuan.
"This is all the investigation data for a minor disappearance that recently occurred at our school."
"Disappearance incident?"
"Hmm." Yura Chitose nodded. Behind her gold-rimmed glasses, her eyes, which appeared even more profound and mysterious, flashed with a cold, emotionless light at that moment.
"One, hiding in our school's old building, feeding on the students' vital energy, not very obedient..."
She paused, then spoke slowly in a cold tone filled with disgust, as if she were talking about the filthiest, most vile "bedbug."
"--vampire.".
Act 1 of 213 The Hunting Game
"--vampire?"
Gu Chuan looked at the file folder, carefully wrapped in old kraft paper and filled with a mysterious aura. The playful smile on his face grew even more amused.
He slowly reached out and took the heavy "sincerity" that served as a "meeting gift" into his own hands.
"—It sounds like a very nice appetizer."
His black eyes met silently in the air with those beautiful obsidian eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses, eyes that gleamed with a cunning, eerie golden light.
Two equally intelligent, powerful, and unfathomable "hunters" reached a tacit understanding at this moment, an understanding brimming with a sense of "danger"—
"——It's a pleasure to work with you."
……
When Gu Chuan returned to the warm and noisy apartment with the file containing information about "vampires," a new "family war" had just reached its climax.
"No! Absolutely not!"
Rin Tohsaka, like a mother cat whose tail has been stepped on, who is possessive of her food and whose fur has stood on end, is desperately protecting the small refrigerator that is already overburdened. She lets out a mournful roar full of "financial crisis" towards the Akame sisters who are licking their lips innocently.
"You two have already eaten 470 puddings today! If you keep eating like this, our family will really go bankrupt this month!"
"But... Rin's pudding is really, really delicious..." Kurohime murmured softly, her black eyes, which always carried a hint of innocence, looking pitifully at the last "hope" that Rin Tohsaka was desperately protecting.
Gu Chuan looked at the warm and real scene before him, full of the atmosphere of "life," and shook his head helplessly.
It seems that it is indeed time to put the plan to explore new sources of revenue on the agenda.
He cleared his throat, drawing everyone's attention.
Then, he placed the old-fashioned file folder on the coffee table in the living room.
"Alright, everyone."
"First, stop your pointless pudding war."
"We have new jobs."
He briefly explained to everyone present the "cooperation agreement" he had reached with the mysterious "health teacher," as well as the information about the "old school building vampire."
"--vampire?"
Leone, the first, revealed an expression full of "hunter's" excitement!
"It sounds like this is much more interesting than those last time's weaklings who only knew how to fire their guns! Master! This time, let me..."
However, before she could finish her words, which were full of a desire to fight, Gu Chuan forcibly swallowed them back with an unquestionable look in his eyes.
"This game doesn't need so many people."
Gu Chuan slowly scanned each and every one of his "family members" present, all of whom were eager to try.
Finally, his gaze fell upon the three true "professionals" who had maintained absolute silence from beginning to end, yet exuded the purest and coldest "killing intent."
"—Red eyes, black eyes."
"exist."
"—Alt."
“...氵寺⊙气鸸二四扒丝y/*ue-已哼.”
"You three, follow me."
He issued the order to slip away and steal seven things (five).
"Tonight, let our school's not-so-obedient new neighbor have a good taste of..."
He paused, and a cold, absolute indifference, filled with a kingly air, flashed in his dark eyes.
"—From the warmest and friendliest members of our big family..."
"—Let's have a welcoming ceremony."
