I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Kusaka Nagamasa, who was sitting in the guest seat, bowed slightly towards Kusaka Nobuhide, who was sitting in the front seat.

"Originally it was just a trivial matter involving Nagamasa, but that person was really weird, so I had to go to my third uncle's house to take shelter."

"Your family and mine were the same family a hundred years ago, and we often communicate with each other now. Don't say such polite words."

Kusaka Nobuhide waved his hand, pondered for two seconds, and then asked: "I wonder whose exorcist is this?"

"I'm a bit of a humble person in the world of demon slayers. Maybe I can clear up your misunderstandings."

"Thank you, uncle." Kusaka Nagamasa thanked him first, then thought about it and said, "That person's surname is Higashino."

"Higashiya?"

Kusaka Nobuhide touched his chin, frowned and looked at the other people at the table: "Do you remember that there is a small family named Higashino in the Demon Slayer family?"

"I've never heard of it."

"I've only heard of people named Nohara."

"Is that so, maybe some small clans."

Kusaka Nobuhide nodded thoughtfully, and then became a little confused: "I see Nagamasa that you are quite polite in dealing with others, and you are well-founded in your advance and retreat. How could you offend the demon slayer?"

Kusaka Nagamasa sighed, his handsome face a little sad.

"It starts with Sanae from the Asukai family. As you know, our family has always been on good terms with the Asukai family. We have known each other for a long time, and we are childhood sweethearts."

"Recently, Sanae was promoted from junior high school to Tachibana High School. She established a club and recruited a first-year student named Higashino Yu. In just one week, Sanae has already obeyed his words and is quite indifferent to her nephew."

"My nephew was worried that Sanae would be deceived by bad people, so he had some disputes with Higashino Yu, but it was just an argument and no action was taken."

"But he became so angry that he didn't know what kind of magic he used to make his nephew and several other senior students in the student union feel as if they were being pressed by a mountain and unable to breathe. He also threatened his nephew not to meddle in other people's business. "

"Of course my nephew couldn't sit back and watch Sanae being killed by him, so he used some methods, but he was afraid of his revenge, so he hid at the third uncle's house."

Kusaka Nagamasa hesitated for a second when he said this, and then asked: "Third uncle, I wonder if there is any magic that can confuse people's minds? My nephew is worried that Sanae has been under a spell."

"That Dong Yeyu actually did such a thing? What a villain!"

A girl wearing a white peach pattern kimono frowned and cursed bitterly when she heard this. She gave a suggestion.

"Cousin, you can go to Yin Yang Residence to report the crime."

"Maki, don't talk nonsense."

Kusaka Nobuhide glanced at her when he heard this.

The girl curled her lips and muttered: "Anyway, the bad guys will only harm the good guys if we don't get rid of them." She turned away from looking at him.

Nobuhide Kusaka was a little helpless, and turned to Nagamasa Kusaka to explain.

"There are spells that confuse the mind - I have heard that some demon-killing families have more or less inheritance, but most of them are forbidden magic. If the demon-killing master casts forbidden magic on ordinary people, the crime is lighter than murder. "

"You can't talk about this kind of thing without evidence. Demon slayers take their reputation very seriously and can easily form big grudges."

"My nephew knows." Kusaka Nagamasa lowered his head and sighed: "It's just that Sanae is confused by him now, and my nephew doesn't know magic. If he refuses to let you go -"

"This person is indeed a vengeful person, but as a demon slayer from a small aristocratic family, if he can achieve a little bit at such an age, his character will inevitably have some flaws. Naturally, he can't compare with a good boy like you, Nagamasa, who has received elite education since childhood."

Kusaka Nobuhide thought for a while, smiled and comforted.

"Don't worry, if he refuses to let you go, I will personally find him out, make him apologize to you, and let his elders keep a close eye on him. What do you think?"

"Listen to Third Uncle in everything."

Kusaka Nobuhide nodded, raised the elegant jade wine cup, and looked around at the relatives and friends at the banquet.

"The grand blooming of cherry blossoms in the courtyard of our home this year must also indicate that the Kusaka family is becoming more and more prosperous. Now the sea is clear and the river is clear, the world is peaceful, and the hall is full of relatives and friends. It is really a great joy in life."

"Everyone, drink to win!"

After the guests and hosts had a good time, Kusaka Nagamasa returned to his guest room, knelt down in front of the desk and took out the mobile phone Furuya Tsunryo had prepared for him for communication.

"Uncle, what's going on? Those people said they captured Iori Miko, and I asked them to send them to Mount Takao. Have you received anyone there?"

"Not yet. It's a little farther from Ayase to Hachioji, but I guess we'll be there soon."

"Well, this way we can continue with the follow-up plan. Let's call Higashino Yu and give him one hour to go to Mount Takao alone. But how should we urge him?"

"How about taking off a piece of that little girl's clothes every twenty minutes, then taking pictures and sending them to him?"

Kusaka Nagamasa sat in front of the desk and nodded slightly, "Although it is vulgar, it is indeed a good idea."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and then there was a question.

"What if he doesn't come to save that little girl?"

Kusaka Nagamasa showed a confident smile.

"If not, his attention will be attracted to Iori Miko, and he will think that I am just using her as a threat. He probably won't think that I have a second gun waiting for him."

"Is it necessary to go to this point? If you use a gun, you will be targeted by the police. Can't you just hit me with a car?"

Kusaka Nagamasa said seriously: "It is necessary. The matter is important, even if a lot of preparations are required, I will prepare as long as the success rate can be increased by even one percent."

"Is the demon slayer so powerful?"

"Well, the third uncle said that the demon slayer's sense of danger is much better than the average person, and he can do magic and maybe shikigami. It is difficult to assassinate him with ordinary methods."

"What if I didn't kill you and alerted the snake? Do you want to be stared at by a poisonous snake for the rest of your life?"

"Even if you use a gun, you must draw his attention elsewhere and put enough pressure on him to ensure that he can kill with one hit."

A thoughtful sigh came from the other end of the phone, "Speaking of which, Nagamasa, if you said there are monsters and ghosts in this world, then there should also be gods, right?"

"Will there be any problems if we kidnap the priest's child?"

"Probably not. I asked my third uncle and he said that although the gods exist, they still abide by the ancient agreement and will not directly interfere in the mortal world."

"I've had people check the Iori family carefully. Iori Miko's parents seemed to have been killed for some reason more than ten years ago. If the Inari God had taken action, then they wouldn't have died tragically."

"I think the so-called priests may be no different from slaves in the eyes of the gods."

Kusaka Nagamasa sighed, and then added: "What's more, we won't really hurt Iori Miko. Once we kill Higashino Yu, let her go back."

When he said this, he felt that although his plan still had a lot of room for improvement, it should be enough to deal with a high school student demon slayer.

My knuckles tapped lightly on the sandalwood desk, making a rhythmic clicking sound, thinking about what areas could be improved.

"By the way, uncle, have the gunmen made arrangements?"

"Don't worry when I handle the matter. I use overseas channels to contact you. I've paid enough for the resettlement, and I have all the clues. I'm not afraid that they won't bear the blame."

"Okay, then we'll see you later-"

"god"

Kusaka Nagamasa nodded slightly and was about to hang up the phone, but unexpectedly, Tsunayoshi Furuya's voice on the other end of the phone suddenly became shocked.

"God? Uncle, what are you talking about?"

"Nagamasa, I seem to have met the envoy of God Inari. This is good luck. Ahhhhh——"

Furuya Tsuna's tone was a little excited at first, but the next moment he suddenly screamed shrilly, his voice trembling, as if he had encountered something terrible.

"Lord God, it's none of my business, don't kill me, no, it's all him, it's all him! I'll tell you everything."

"Ahhhhhh-"

Kusaka Nagamasa was sitting on his knees in front of the desk. He heard Furuya Tsunayoshi on the other end of the phone telling all his plans in a trembling tone. He begged for mercy in the most humble tone, and then uttered a tragic message that made his skin crawl through the phone. Call.

What happened to Tsunayoshi Furuya?

Kusaka Nagamasa was stunned for a moment. Although his expression was calm, it was more like the incident happened suddenly and he didn't know how to respond.

He began to feel uneasy, like a person who was walking smoothly suddenly stepped on the ground and looked down to see that there was a bottomless abyss under his feet.

Furuya Tsuna's shrill scream quickly disappeared, and what came over the phone was uneasy silence.

Something happened.

Kusaka Nagamasa swallowed, took a few deep breaths, and forced himself to calm down.

He held the phone without speaking or making any other movements - Tsunayoshi Furuya had said everything, and there was no use hanging up the phone at this time.

Dong Yeyu's voice sounded on the other end of the phone,

"Kusaka Nagamasa?"

Sure enough it was him. Kusaka Nagamasa suppressed the doubts in his heart, and there was no point in asking why at this time.

He said sincerely: "How about the peace talks? I will no longer pursue Sanae tomorrow, and you can't retaliate against me, otherwise the Kusaka family will not let you go."

There were no answers, but there were no angry insults either, indicating that there was something to talk about.

These are the common people who are always being led around.

Kusaka Nagamasa sighed in his heart, his anxiety disappeared a lot, and his tone became much calmer, as if he was discussing a business deal.

"I can compensate you, compensate the Iori family, how much do you want?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a second, "Are you okay with your brain?"

beep----

The phone was hung up and a busy signal was issued. It took Kusaka Nagamasa a second to realize what he was about to face.

My hands shook for a moment, I put down my phone, lowered my head and thought for a moment, and found that I seemed to have no way out.

So he stood up, pushed open the shoji door of the Japanese room, and found the servant of the Kusaka family.

"I want to see my third uncle, there is something important!"

The drunken Nobuhide Kusaka met with Nagamasa Kusaka in the tea room.

He found that the young man who had always been steady and confident before now had a visibly uneasy look on his face.

"Nagamasa, what happened?"

"Third uncle, he's here." Kusaka Nagamasa said solemnly, with beads of sweat on his forehead.

"The Higashikata you are talking about?"

"Yes, he called me just now. He knows that I am at your house and will be there soon."

Kusaka Nobuhide smiled and looked at the shikigami beside the escort.

It was a shikigami that looked like an adult female, wearing a gray Wufu and a haori, with a white paper with a spell on it hanging on its face, and the face could not be seen.

"Yin, go and ask Lu and the others to be on guard. There may be uninvited guests visiting tonight."

Kusaka Nagamasa followed Kusaka Nobuhide's line of sight in confusion, but found nothing.

Kusaka Nobuhide smiled and explained, "This is my shikigami, Yin. Nagamasa, you don't have spiritual power in your body. If Yin doesn't want you to see it, you have no choice but to—"

Before he finished speaking, there was a noise from outside.

Kusaka Nagamasa suddenly stood up like a frightened deer, and instantly looked in the direction of the sound.

"Be patient."

Kusaka Nobuhide patted his shoulder, stood up and walked out of the tea room, followed by Kusaka Nagamasa.

The two came to the carefully designed dry landscape garden, where a small number of Kusaka family members had gathered, pointing at the sky and talking.

The courtyard was illuminated by the light, as if there was a light source in the low sky very close.

Kusaka Nobuhide felt the strange and majestic aura, and looked at his shikigami, feeling something was wrong.

This aura.

He thought of something, walked quickly to the courtyard, looked up, and was immediately stunned.

The shikigami beside him, Yin, hurriedly apologized after just one look, lowered his head, pushed the golden mountain, overturned the jade pillar, and knelt on the ground.

It was a white fox surrounded by auspicious clouds, wearing a heavenly robe, with a crown behind its head representing its status, and its hair flowing with golden light. It looked at the people in the courtyard indifferently, just like the legendary god coming.

Kusaka Nagamasa first breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it was not Higashino Yu.

But then he remembered that Furuya Tsunayoshi had just said that he had met a god, and his eyes suddenly widened, and he realized something was wrong.

Kusaka Nagamasa wanted to leave quietly, but was shocked to find that the fox god in the sky was staring at him.

For a moment, he did not dare to move.

"Gozen Inari."

Kusaka Nobuhide muttered to himself, but he felt something was wrong.

Although the messenger of God is noble, he does not have such a pomp. Those who can have a crown, heavenly robes and auspicious clouds are all real gods.

Of course, whether it is a messenger of God or a god, he must be respectful, but mortals belong to mortals, and gods belong to gods.

Although Kusaka Nobuhide fears gods, he is not too afraid.

As long as you don't offend the gods, there is nothing to be afraid of.

He walked a few steps closer and bowed down: "I am the head of the Kusaka family, Kusaka Nobuhide. May I ask what the messenger of God is doing here so late at night?"

The fox, like a god, looked down at Kusaka Nobuhide with a solemn and majestic voice.

"I am here to ask for punishment."

"Whose crime does the messenger of God want to ask?"

Higashino Yu did not answer, but cast his eyes on Kusaka Nagamasa.

Upon hearing this voice, Kusaka Nagamasa looked up in astonishment and met the majestic and indifferent eyes of the fox in the sky.

He laughed suddenly, as if he had discovered some big secret, and shook his head and laughed.

"No, you are not the Inari messenger of God, you are not the Inari messenger of God! I recognized your voice!"

"You are Higashino Yu, he is Higashino Yu!"

Kusaka Nagamasa first pointed at Higashino Yu and shouted in the eyes of everyone looking at him as a madman, and then ran behind Kusaka Nobuhide and pulled his arm.

"Uncle San, don't be afraid of him. He is Higashino Yu. He is a mortal, not a god! This is an illusion, it must be an illusion!"

His voice was urgent, and he couldn't wait to make everyone believe him.

However, Kusaka Nobuhide just looked at him quietly, as if he was looking at a dead person - even ordinary big monsters were not qualified to be questioned by the gods.

"Nagamasa, what did you do?"
