Tamamo-no-Mae·Down

The wheels of the tasteful spirit turned into a palanquin, carrying Gangiss and the rest of the group flying in the air. After flying for two days and nights, they arrived at their destination - the mountains outside Osaka Castle.
A seemingly ordinary sedan descended from the sky and landed steadily on the ground. A small hand, looking like that of a seven or eight-year-old child, lifted the curtain of the sedan. Behind the curtain, a very delicate young girl was sitting on bamboo, and she flew out from inside the sedan.
Cursed spirit Cao Cao leaped off the sedan chair and stared at the vast ancient forest. He snorted coldly, "Hmph! Those foxes really know how to hide. They've hidden in such a secretive place."
"Apart from trees, there are only trees around here. Do the Fox Clan really live in this place as the rumors say?" Feiyuan, the Demon Marshal, carefully examined this forest, which was said to have a history of thousands of years, and harbored doubts about the truthfulness of the rumors about the Fox Clan living here."
Holding the trident, Nagi looked in one direction with a puzzled expression, tilting her head and saying, "Master, I have a feeling that something is not right here, a feeling that I can't quite put into words."
"Is there something different?" Fei Yuanmo followed Nagi's gaze in that direction. She looked left and right but didn't notice anything unusual. However, she turned back to look at Nagi and had a rough idea. "I remember you and Rikudo Mukuro are both skilled in illusion techniques."
The Fox Clan excels at the art of enchantment, and both this enchantment and illusion magic directly affect the mind. Is this why you are able to sense the differences?
Feiyuan Demon General withdrew his gaze from Nagi and looked at Gangyi, asking, "Gang, what's over there?"
Hearing the words of Fei Yuan Mo, Gangyi's mouth lifted slightly. He threw the Penglai jade branch in his hand, and the Penglai jade branch drew a curve in the air, landing steadily. Glittering starlight drifted down from the Penglai jade branch, landing where Nagi had just been observing.
"Hmm-" Everyone's eyes widened, their expressions filled with disbelief.
As the divine power released by Peng Lai Yu Zhi passed through, a transparent barrier appeared in front of everyone. With the appearance of the barrier, the forest scenery disappeared and was replaced by an otherworldly paradise.
"Wow... so powerful..." Nagi's eyes are gleaming. This level of illusion technique makes her, as an illusionist herself, can't help but want to find the person who performed such a technique and have a good discussion with them.
Tsuna looked at Nagi's reaction over there and couldn't help but nod. He could sense the discrepancy in this forest and its eagerness to learn. He was very satisfied, truly very satisfied. The mantle of the Vongola can now be passed on to someone, and he was filled with contentment.
The barrier was touched by someone, immediately catching the attention of the guards stationed nearby. A frog appeared in front of Tsunayoshi and the others, warily eyeing them and asking, "Who are you croak, and what brings you here croak?"
Giorno released the divine pressure he usually hides, and his whole body was covered in a faint divine light. Descending from the sky, he stood in front of the frog and spoke, "I have a matter to consult the leader of the Kitsune Clan, Yorishiro. Please inform her for me."
After Reborn unleashed his divine pressure, the pitiful, weak, and helpless frog immediately fell to the ground, trembling in fear.
Noticing the frog's terror, Tsuna quickly retracted his own pressure, tapped Mr. Bamboo on the shoulder, and landed on the ground. He looked at the little frog and said, "Can you go and inform the others?"
After the oppressive aura that made the entire frog's life miserable disappeared, the frog timidly stood up and stood in front of Gokudera for a second before disappearing. Within the boundary, a puff of smoke vanished into the distance.
"Uh... Lady Tamamo is here! A divine being has descended!
" "(⊙o⊙)... This frog is so timid... " Feiyuanmo floated over from the side and sarcastically commented with an expressionless face. Only reply to the translated content. (Note: The symbol @ cannot be translated, as it is used as a generic placeholder in the given text.)
"Cut——Such cowardice, truly disappointing." Cizhuzi had a disdainful expression on his face. He felt that it was a mistake to accompany these girls to this place. He had originally intended to come here to find a few capable fox clan members to practice with, but the result turned out to be... disappointing! Keep all the @ matches in the translation.
"Puh—" Tsuna couldn't help but laugh as he watched the small frog quickly hop away, disappearing in no time. "This little frog is quite interesting."
"Yeah, it's definitely amusing," Nagi nodded vigorously, "I really want to have one as a pet."
"Achoo!" a certain little frog that was being talked about sneezed.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" the frog, as an older brother, looked at his sister who suddenly sneezed and handed her a handkerchief.
"I don't know what's wrong, but suddenly I feel a chill down my back." After wiping her nose, Sister Frog shook her head. For some reason, she has a feeling that someone is watching her, and it's making her a bit uneasy.
---------------------------------------------
"Big brother and the deity need to exchange a few words in the inner room, so I can only ask everyone to wait here for a while." Ge Ye led Nagi and his companions to the courtyard and prepared traditional fox clan tea for them, inviting them to take a seat and rest. "I am Ge Ye, Tamamo no Mae's younger sister. I will be taking care of you from now on."
"That guy Cimu really can't sit still. He even transformed into a child, yet he's still so eager for battle." Feiyuanmo glanced at Cimu, who had been seduced away by a little fox, wearing a disgusted expression. "He claimed to have no interest, but he really lacks determination."
Men are truly scum who never keep their promises, trash.
Nagi carefully held the cup, trying to diminish her own presence. Although these fox-like monsters didn't say anything because she was a girl, she could feel that they didn't like her simply because she was human.
It's really difficult for humans and monsters to live in harmony.
"Our fox clan has been hiding for so many years, and this is the first time that monsters and humans have come as guests together," said Gehye, waving the small teacup in hand. His playful demeanor in front of Tamamo no Mae had changed, as his eyes transformed into beast pupils. He looked at the man and the monster before him and said, "According to the information we just received, you are here because of that little fox causing trouble outside."
"Oh, I thought you would know nothing about this." Feiyuanmo raised his head, his lifeless blue eyes fixed on Geye. "The Fox Clan has been hidden for hundreds of years, it seems they aren't completely isolated from the world."
"An apparition of a vengeful spirit transformed into a monster?" Ge Ye immediately recognized the true form of Flying Edge Demon and said somewhat surprisingly, "It's the first time I've encountered a monster like you who can maintain their consciousness."
"This is nothing. I used to be in a state without consciousness as well, but-" At this point, for the first time, a smile appeared on Fei Yuanmo's expressionless face. "It's because I have my own light."
"I see." Although Ge Ye didn't fully understand the meaning of "Flying Bound Demon," she could sense that the monster in front of her had a crucial weakness, like a reverse scale. This weakness was the key to her maintaining her sanity. She had a feeling that if someone were to harm the person she cherished, the suppressed madness within her would be beyond anyone's tolerance.
"Speaking of which, it's quite strange to see this combination of gods, demons, and humans living together in harmony. It truly surprises me," Ge Ye carefully observed Nagi and Fei Yuanmo, and said with a meaningful tone.
"Arno, maybe it's because of our master's influence…" Nagi felt a little shy under Goya's gaze. Her face turned red as she lowered her head, unsure of what to do with her hands and feet.
Fei Yuan blocked Nagi without leaving a trace, coughing and said, "Ge Ye, don't use charm on Nagi, this child is not yet of age."
"Hahaha, sorry sorry, this is a natural ability, it automatically activates without my intention." Ge Ye stuck out her tongue and withdrew her enchantment technique.
Fei Yuanmo clearly doesn't believe Ge Ye's statement and secretly thinks, "You're just trying to deceive us. Your words may work on someone inexperienced like Nai, but you really think I don't know that a monster's talents can be controlled freely."
Anyways, this conversation is very friendly, with both sides testing each other without making Nagi feel any abnormalities. By the end of the chat, Nagi felt that the relationship between Feiyuan Mo and Ge Ye seemed to have improved quite a bit.
Regarding this, the sneaky Fuyuanmo and Geye both secretly sneer: That old fox is really good at disguises!
-----------------------------------------
The two outside are digging pits for each other, while the conversation between Gangyi and Tamamo-no-Mae inside is very calm and without any twists and turns. Although Tamamo likes to tease and play with little monsters, he usually doesn't like it when it comes to serious matters. He prefers to get straight to the point, which aligns with Gangyi's intentions. Their communication is very smooth and without any deceptive elements.
"So, you mean you want me to teach you the art of interacting with humans?" Tamamo no Mae folded her fan and gently tapped her left hand, her masked face revealing no expression. But Tsuna could sense the great demon in front of him was very interested.
"Indeed, I had a student with a human identity, who died at the hands of the fox clan, a new generation of Yin-Yang Masters, during the power struggle among humans. This happened because they sought revenge for the destruction of the Kagewaki Clan. "Genji picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, his expression turning grim as he thought of his disciple. "Therefore, if I wish to avenge my disciple, I can only resort to fighting fire with fire."
"Oh, I see. Then I'm really curious, why did you choose me?" Tamamo-no-Mae tapped her fan and raised an eyebrow, "I remember our fox clan has been in hiding for many years. I'm curious to know the reason you could think of me."
"The reason for the choice, huh?" Gokudera lowered his gaze and his lips curled slightly. "Fifty years ago, humans tried to conquer Daijouzan and ended up getting completely crushed. I suppose you, Mr. Yatagarasu, have some understanding of the reasons behind it."
"Ha—-" Tamamo no Mae took out a book from her pocket and threw it at Gangyi. She opened her fan, covered her mouth, and said, "You are quite sharp for a little girl. Since that's the case, I'll give you this book I just finished writing." Translated: "Ha—-" Tamamo no Mae took out a book from her pocket and threw it at Gangyi. She opened her fan, covered her mouth, and said, "You are quite sharp for a little girl. Since that's the case, I'll give you this book I just finished writing."
Little girl...
Gokudera's eye corner twitched slightly. He thought it would be better to ignore it, as this kind of thing can no longer be explained clearly, it's completely impossible to explain it qaq
After carefully storing the books given by Tamamo-no-Mae, Gangyi looked up and said, "I think it would be better to inform you about the situation with that fox."
"That fox is a seven-tailed fox, known for eating human livers. All those Onmyoji were killed by having their livers dug out while still alive." Gangyi recalled the appearance of the seven-tailed fox, describing it, "She was surrounded by a black aura, a malevolent and mindless presence. Since she wanted my liver, I cut off her tail, but with the help of that black aura, she managed to escape."
"What!" The tea cup in front of Tamamo no Mae shattered at the sound, her face turning terrifyingly grim.
Due to the seclusion of the fox clan, the communication of some news is still relatively delayed. In this case, she had been speculating about why, how, and what method the fox had used to hide. But she never expected it to be this method! Cannibalistic liver consumption! And they even attacked divine beings, this is simply unforgivable! Translated: "
It now appears that she may have obtained her seven tails by consuming human livers, which makes her a complete menace as a member of the fox clan! If humans were to discover this and retaliate following our traditional clan rules, it would likely spell the end of the fox clan.
Whoever wants to target the fox clan, he will definitely find out the truth!
With this in mind, Tamamo no Mae looked up and handed a fox-shaped jade pendant to Gangying: "Thank you, for this matter I owe you a favor, if you have anything in the future, just bring this jade pendant and find me."
Gokudera carefully put away the jade pendant, nodded, and left the room, heading towards the front yard to meet up with Fei Yuanmo and the others.
Koyanskaya watched Gokudera's figure disappear into the distance, turned around, and spoke to the shadow behind her, "We have been hiding for too long, and now someone dares to plot against our fox clan. It seems it's time to go out and clean up the mess."
"Yes, Lady Tamamo!" Within the darkness, a pair of red eyes slowly opened.
