197 The Plan to Wipe Them All Out

No wonder your emotions are so volatile.

Yukino nodded silently.

"Young lady, haven't you heard of the saying 'see through it but don't say it'?"

Shuya said helplessly.

"I'm sorry, I have no interest in lying or covering things up."

"So you don't have any friends, understand?"

"Is it any different to have friends who are attracted by false words and deeds, or not?"

"You're so awkward."

"So could you please stop changing the subject?"

Yukino said calmly, leaving Shuya speechless.

"Please, what's it to you? This is my private matter!"

He went berserk.

He was already under a lot of pressure, and then he had to be criticized on top of that, so he finally snapped.

Yukino stared at him and said, "I haven't repaid your kindness yet."

"Repaying a debt of gratitude...? The Snow Woman matter? Wasn't that matter settled already?"

"No, that operation was unsuccessful; I can't get over it in my mind."

Yukino paused for a moment, then said, "So, I'll help too."

"You, help? Don't be ridiculous, that's all you're capable of."

Shuya immediately retorted.

"As for Half-Monster, I think I'm capable of handling that," Yukino said calmly. "That way, you can focus on finding powerful Monster, right?"

Shuya fell into a deep thought.

This is undeniably true.

But Shuya ultimately said, "What you say makes sense, but I refuse."

Yukino asked curiously, "Why? Don't you want to save Rena?"

There's no need to involve you.

Shuya revealed the truth about the Curse, and sighed, "Do you understand now? It's enough for me to struggle alone; your help won't be of much use."

"So, shouldn't we work even harder?"

Yukino stood up, her small face solemn. "Since Rena- san's life has been Encho, there is still hope. Inoue- kun, what you should do now is accept my help. You shouldn't give up no matter how small the hope is."

"Don't give up until the very end."

Her calm tone touched Shuya's heart.

He took a deep breath. "... You're right."

He extended his hand to Yukino.

"Please help me, Yukino- chan."

"Can."

Yukino took his hand and smiled softly.

After class, at dusk.

Shuya and Yukino parted ways, each wandering in the darkness.

The Snow Woman's legacy also includes Strange Arts concealing one's identity, so Shuya wasn't worried about Yukino being exposed.

As for the issue of absorbing Demon Power, the Little Fox created some beads for Yukino to use for absorption.

However, the downside is that there's a limit, Yukino often has to find the Little Fox to replenish the container.

With Yukino's addition, Shuya's hunting effectiveness increased dramatically.

Aside from hunting, voice acting for Cardcaptor Sakura is his main job right now.

By episode 23, Sakura's popularity had soared even higher.

The episode featuring the capture of the Song Card boosted director Tomoyo's popularity.

Speaking of which, Cardcaptor Sakura merchandise is selling very well, and the money Shuya lent to Inoue Hikoo has been returned.

This switch between morning and evening identities allowed Shuya to vaguely understand Yusho Sakura's feelings.

The so-called professionalism of servicemen.

The last week of March.

After Shuya emerged from the dark alley, he saw an unexpected person leaning against the wall waiting for him.

What brings you here?

Under the moonlight, the newcomer's face was revealed.

It was Shizuka Hiratsuka.

She turned to look at Shuya: "You've been collecting these for so long, is it even useful?"

"It's barely usable."

Shuya didn't hide the truth, saying, "But the situation isn't good."

He frowned and took a step back. "What are you doing here? Want to fight?"

"No, I recently graduated, I can come and help you."

"So kind of you?"

Shuya was stunned.

Don't you need to look for a job?

"What are you looking for? You know my family's situation. It's not like I'm in a hurry."

The Shizuka Hiratsuka family is quite influential, and she has plenty of job opportunities to choose from.

She casually said, "We've known each other for so long, I can't just watch you fight alone, can I? And you're not a good friend if you don't invite me to fight."

Shuya hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry, I'm not alone. Yukino- chan is helping me too. I'm not as lonely as you are. I'm really sorry."

Shizuka Hiratsuka laughed, "Looks like you don't need my help, kid? I'm leaving then!"

"Don't!"

Shuya instantly rushed over and hugged her long legs. "Miss, help me! How about I sacrifice myself and we do it!"

"Get lost, who wants to have sex with you!"

"Then the second shot?"

"It's not about the number of times, you brat!"

Haruno said I'm not young anymore.

"Pah, you two shameless bastards!"

Their voices gradually faded into the distance.

As a result, Monster Hunt accelerated during spring break.

Section 213, Chapter 197: The Plan to Catch Them All

April.

Shuya's family.

"I said, we can't go on like this; they're becoming too self-willed."

Shuya rubbed his forehead.

He looked around and saw that besides Yukino and Shizuka Hiratsuka, Haruno had also joined them.

Haruno had actually sensed something was wrong long ago, but she didn't say anything.

After Shizuka Hiratsuka joined, Shuya thought about it and went to ask her for help, and she readily agreed.

Haruno Na Nine Pairs of Foxes were a great help, greatly increasing their hunting range, and their combat strength was not weak, so dealing with Half-Monster was not a problem.

However, since Haruno had sent out all the foxes, and the Little Fox had also been taken away by Shuya, she herself didn't have much strength, so she stayed behind as a liaison.

This hunting pattern continued for some time.

Shuya and his companions continue to wreak havoc on the Monster of Tokyo.

In addition to the native Monster of the Japan Administrative District, Shuya hunts Monster from other administrative regions who come to work there in the same way.

We're all Monster, why divide us into different zones?

He was a kind-hearted person who treated all demons equally.

Thanks to the diligent efforts of Shuya and the others, when Shuya entered the fifth grade at the start of the elementary school year, Rena's life was extended by two months.

But the entire Tokyo area was ravaged, and neither Half-Monster nor Monster dared to go out at night. Shuya lost a lot of power banks.

And so the scene at the beginning unfolded.

Shuya called his teammates to his home for a meeting.

Shizuka Hiratsuka sipped her sake. "Indeed, those Monsters are too carefree. It's not like we're trying to kill them, why do they have to hide so deep!"

Haruno readily agreed, "Exactly, exactly, it's really a difficult situation."

Yukino said, "Judging from the current trend, we probably have no choice but to leave Tokyo, right?"

Shuya said, "Yukino- chan is right."

He agreed with the authenticity.

"No, wait... I have a bold idea."

At this moment, Haruno spoke.

"What?"

Shuya asked.

Yukino and Shizuka Hiratsuka both looked over.

Haruno smiled and said, "Actually, I've mastered a new skill, so I came up with a plan. You see."

She beckoned to the Little Fox, and the Little Fox jumped over, disappearing into her chest and becoming one with her.

The next moment, she grew a fox tail and ears.

"Half-Monster Transformation?"

Having dealt with Monster for so many days, Shuya was all too familiar with this feeling.

"That's right."

Haruno twisted her waist, her fluffy, pure white tail swaying back and forth, making one want to pet her.

She became even more beautiful after her Half-Monster Transformation, her figure seemed to have become fuller, and she exuded a bewitching and alluring charm.

Shuya frowned. "Charm Art?"

Yukino's expression shifted. "Sister, could it be that you're thinking of...?"

Haruno smiled and said, "This is one of the Little Fox's Shikigami abilities. In my Half-Monster Transformation, I can enhance the Little Fox's abilities, which naturally include Charm Art. Based on this, I have a bold idea."

"Besides making people fall in love with the caster, the Charm Art is also a method of manipulating the mind."

Haruno said, "In our past hunts, we have learned which of the great demons are among the Monster of Tokyo. My plan is to bewitch one of the most respected great demons and use them to deceive the other Monster, claiming that we have found the criminal who hunted the Monster and that we are gathering the Monster together for revenge."
