High School of Demon Hunting

Chapter 465: Chapter 134 Fox Maid_1

Zhan Yuchen, seeing these witches, discerned that they weren’t students of The First University, for a very simple reason.

Because they weren’t dressed in the school’s coat of arms with four colors, or the grey and black robes common to students, rather they wore distinctive black and white maid uniforms — if students of The First University wore such outlandish garments on campus, they’d lose academic points if caught by the Patrol Team.

Especially when one of the witches turned her head to converse with her companion, the guardian of the Pet Garden became adamant in his judgment.

Because he saw two ’ears’.

Two that were on top of her head, ’ears’ that were absolutely impossible for a normal wizard to possess.

The witch wore a hairband on her head that held her glossy, black, long hair. When she turned her head, two fluffy pointed ears peeked from the gaps between her band and hair, occasionally twitching and rotating in all directions, bearing witness to the male wizard that they weren’t mere accessories.

As a third-year student of The First University, Zhan Yuchen was no sage, but he was well-read.

In the Wizarding World, entities that retained certain ”beastly” traits but could communicate like humans were, apart from full-fledged demons, often the creatures of the underworld.

This was the deepest part of Jiuyou Academy of The First University, where demons would not recklessly come courting death — even if a certain imposing demon decided to visit The First University, it would certainly not choose to die in a weird place like the Pet Garden.

Since they weren’t demons, these witches could only be from some family of underworld creatures.

Neither vampires, nor zombies nor ghosts have such fluffy pointed ears — only the likes of werewolves, fox people, and other smaller canine families could display this trait.

Coupled with the witches’ flawless complexion, dignified demeanor and obvious etiquette, their lineage speaks for itself.

Thoughts rushing, all within the blink of an eye.

Once stabilized, Zhan Yuchen couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity, ”You want to borrow a few foxes? What do you... want the foxes for?”

He almost slipped, you all are foxes yourselves, what do you need to borrow foxes for!

The fox women seemed to be unskilled in telepathy, so they didn’t catch the sarcasm in the Red Robe guardian’s heart.

Therefore, the leading fox woman just gave a slight smile, stepped forward, and politely said, ”Tonight’s party, the mistress ordered us to attend and so we need a few little guys to help dance... Thank you for your help.”

Though her words came across quaint, they were nonetheless pleasantly receivable.

Zhan Yuchen’s expression noticeably relaxed.

”It’s not that I’m unwilling to lend them,” he emphasized, finding the demand of the fox women extremely tricky, ”It’s just that those little ones belong to someone, I’m only looking after them, and have no right to dispatch them wantonly...”

”They... they’re just companions of witches! Not... not their slaves!” A fox girl of shorter stature who stood at the back, stuck out a little head, clenched her fists, her face red with anger, ”Is this place a Black Prison?!”

Black Prison was a prison for witches to confine demons.

Every connection played its part.

All comparisons of vocabulary were indeed intense under any circumstances.

Yet when the Red Robe wizard watched her ambiguously, the diminutive fox girl immediately shrank her head back in, with bilious gushes evidently exhausted.

”Su Ya!” The leading fox woman turned her head back and glared at the diminutive fox girl.

The small fox girl’s ears immediately dropped down.

The rest of the fox women immediately gathered around the lead fox woman and started whispering.

Zhan Yuchen did not involve himself in the fox women’s internal affairs, but hearing the name ’Su Ya’, a somewhat expected look flashed across his face.

The Su Qingqiu Family, one of the five major families in the underworld council, could naturally have servants of such temperament, a matter well worth understanding.

Thinking about it, he couldn’t help but recall the rumors that floated amongst freshmen some time ago, thinking of the phrase ’lady’ that the fox woman just said, his breath suddenly became a bit quicker.

The direct descendants of the Su Qingqiu Family were few in number, and those who could be called by them as ’lady’, as well as arrive at The First University precisely during the school hunting party, could very likely be the First University’s most beautiful witch, Su Shijun.

Zhan Yuchen’s throat felt a bit tight.

But before he could form a sensible sentence, the fox women had already reached a unanimous decision.

”We have Professor Yao’s note of approval,” the lead fox woman drew out a written permission letter from her sleeve and handed it to the chief guardian of the Pet Garden: ”He’s agreed to us coming... I believe he’s the dean of your school.”

The last point doesn’t need your reminder.

Zhan Yuchen took a deep breath, took the written note, and flipped it open to have a glance.

”In that case,” the chief guardian of the Pet Garden masterminded quickly, no longer hesitating, and nodded: ”With Dean Yao’s written note, I can permit a few little foxes to leave the garden and walk around a bit more than usual today... As to whether they would like to follow you or not, that’s a matter for you.”

The fox women nearly all agreed to the plan simultaneously.

Zhan Yuchen flipped open the list in his hand, made some notations, and murmured, ”Let me see which little one can go out today...”

”Um, Jiulama, recently been behaving well, hasn’t bitten anything randomly, can be allowed out for a walk, as an incentive...”

”Yu Zaoqian, although she did hit a few little dogs this morning, they were being offensive... can also be allowed outside.”

”Poseidon, always well-behaved, can go out.”

”Shisiniang, has been lazing at home recently, that won’t do, she must also go out...”

”Princess Pangpang, she ate too much at noon, just right to dance at the party...”

”Yu Mian, um, she didn’t mix with that wild bull today, such a good girl, can also go out.”

Murmuring under his breath, the chief guardian scribbled around in the name list and quickly determined today’s rations for the little foxes.

When he summoned the little animals using the law book, a fox woman finally couldn’t resist it and whispered her complaint, ”...What kind of names are these!”

Apparently, she felt that these little foxes were ’entrusted to the wrong people’, they weren’t conscientious even in giving names.

”These names are quite interesting, bearing the earnest expectations of their owners, maybe they can break free from their cocoon and transform into a butterfly.” Zhan Yuchen turned around, his eyes squinted happily as he looked at her and explained, ”Maybe you think these names are somewhat casual, or perhaps not respectable enough... but this is The First University, we only need to respect knowledge... and anyway, these aren’t their real names, no need for so much reverence.”

”Just because they’re not real names means they can be taken casually?!” The fox woman called Su Ya glared at the guardian with visible irritation, her head hair blossoming, revealing two sharp little ears.

Zhan Yuchen laughed awkwardly, shutting his mouth.

He suddenly realized he was facing a group of fox women.

Speaking casually about certain ’taboos’ that these fox women held dear, in front of them, was an utterly stupid act.
