I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

"That's almost it. If you practice well, you won't have to wait for me to come back to deal with the crow spirit."

Xiuji lowered his bird's head and said that what his lord said was true, but he murmured in his heart, "That's an old monster, lord. Even if I start practicing from the egg, I can't beat him, right?"

Dong Yeyu knew at a glance that the dead bird must not take his words seriously, and hit him with a pen again, but as soon as he got home, he was too lazy to say anything, leaned against the wall, and stretched out his hand to open the window.

The aroma of the pasta we had just eaten wafts from the izakaya downstairs. Boss Oda’s new dish has customers so quickly?

To be honest, the salmon and truffle pasta actually feels weird. If you say it's not delicious, that's a shame, but with so many good ingredients made into a bowl of braised noodles, it's a waste.

And what kind of Western food do you serve in an izakaya?

Of course, it’s hard to say anything bad when someone treats you to a meal.

After taking a few glances, he turned his attention to Ayasezaka. From the apartment building where he was to the shrine, he had to walk through a long street and then climb a series of stairs to the road that surrounded the mountain.

Looking directly from here, the torii gate is facing the apartment where I am. The red paint is shining brightly in the sun. The road built around the hill is much higher than the flat land. From time to time, several cars pass by, and the sound of horns can be heard in the distance. , scattered tourists can be seen vaguely on the shrine.

Now that Suiji is back, Miko must have gone home from school.

I don’t know how Yuzi’s body recovered after eating the grass to return the elixir.

Dong Yeyu was looking forward to it. The previous reward for repaying his kindness had not yet arrived, probably because the elixir had not been fully digested.

It does take a lot of time for mortals who have not yet entered cultivation to fully digest an elixir, and it may take several years - the elixirs that the golden elixir masters gathered together with the inspiration of the elixir and took advantage of the right time and place have a say in today's world. There is no such thing as an elixir.

Thinking of this, he asked the pigeon next to him: "Xiuji, how has Yuzi been doing these past few days while I'm away?"

Xiuji immediately replied: "Reporting to my lord, Miss Iori's condition has improved a lot. After taking the elixir given by the lord, her body has become much healthier, but her legs are still inconvenient."

Are your legs still not feeling well?

It shouldn't be. It stands to reason that after treating Yuzi with the medicinal effect of a whole pill, there will be a lot of surplus power to strengthen her physique.

I'll pay him a visit later.

Dong Yeyu nodded thoughtfully and asked, "What about others? Are there any bad guys or monsters approaching her?"

"The minister has been escorting Ms. Iori to and from school these past few days. I haven't found any monsters or mortals watching. It's just that I had some conflicts with the owner of Matsushige Supermarket over there two days ago. Iori Miyaji later apologized and resolved the issue."

"I heard the izakaya owner mentioned this. Do you know the details?"

"The source of the matter is the crow spirit."

Xiuji gritted his teeth when he mentioned the crow spirit, "It stole a lot of products from Matsushige Supermarket. The owner of that store called the police, but there was nothing they could do. Miss Iori saw that he was really worried and pitiful, so she told him that it was a monster."

"I didn't expect that the boss didn't know what to do. He actually got angry and scolded Ms. Iori several times. Then he went to Iori's house to complain to Iori Miyaji. He looked very angry. Iori Miyaji had to apologize and said I reassured others that there were no monsters and it was Ms. Iori who was talking nonsense, and then I calmed down."

When Xiuji said this, he sneered: "These mortals are really stupid. They don't even believe the truth."

stupid?

Dong Yeyu shook his head: "He is not stupid. If a monster steals a few items, he will lose some money at most. If people know that there are monsters in his store, resulting in fewer customers, he will lose more than just a little money. The supermarket They all have to close down.”

Although he said so and behaved reasonably, Dong Yeyu was a little disgusted with the supermarket owner.

Nothing else, Miko is someone close to me, and I would like to mention it out of kindness. Even if it is out of consideration, but being forced to apologize like this, the boss is really doing it privately.

Dong Yeyu is not a rational and polite gentleman. He has always helped his relatives but not others.

After thinking about it, I put aside the matter of the crow spirit. Anyway, with Chunyuan in charge, the monster could not make waves.

So I decided to go to the supermarket at night to cause trouble.

Anyway, it was now confirmed that the demon slayers could not see through his transformation spell, and he was no longer afraid of being killed by some passing god. Dong Yeyu was no longer as restrained as in the past.

The way we deal with problems has also changed slightly, becoming more straightforward.

Aren't you afraid of losing customers?

Should I just start acting in horror movies and open a supermarket? Open the Bull Demon reward!

Didi!

At this moment, a message came from the mobile phone, which was sent by Sanae tomorrow.

"Even though I was living behind the curtain, I heard the praises of the people of the night for your achievements. I wanted to send down the light to you. Unfortunately, the Lord of the Dark Moon prayed and called the name of the Lord of the Mirror Moon. I made an agreement with him to descend on the Dark Moon today. In the Moon Kingdom, abiding by promises is the basic etiquette. Brave knight, I will wait for your visit at the palace tomorrow. I hope that after a night of reflection, your style will shine even more brilliantly."

Dong Yeyu translated this sentence in her mind. Maybe her grandfather came to see her for something temporarily and couldn't come? And then ask yourself to go to the club activity room to find her tomorrow?

I feel a little regretful in my heart. My experience in Mogogo Town could be written into a short story. I think she will be interested in it.

Miss Moon Witch would burst into gold coins when she was happy, but now she couldn't do it. She felt like she had lost tens of thousands of yen for nothing.

I don’t know what’s going on with Ms. Jinguji. Can the attendance fee be increased? How much can it be increased?

I am a big C in this operation, so I should get a 500,000 yen bonus no matter what.

When the time comes, when you receive the money, you will be considered a millionaire. It is always good to send hundreds of thousands back to the orphanage to improve the lives of the children.

Dong Yeyu has already begun to calculate the expenditure on the Void Deposit, so he replied.

"Your knight will try his best to raise the luggage, repair it overnight, and then go to your palace to see you. May the light of enlightenment of the mirror moon shine forever."

After typing and sending it, I looked at the phone screen expectantly for a while and found that Miss Moon Witch just sent a cute emoticon of a black cat wearing a magic hat.

How to set out without pay?

Tomorrow is Thursday, Miss Moon Witch can't V50 let your most heroic knight have a crazy Thursday meal?

Dong Yeyu fell silent and reflected on himself.

Did you speak too cryptically?

Don't use straight punches next time.

Higashino Yu stood up thoughtfully. Since Miss Moon Witch wasn't coming, he just had time to go to the shrine to see Miko.

"Xuyoshi, I'm going to visit the Iori family at the shrine. You should take good care of the house. This time I bought a lot of delicious pastries and spiritual wine from the demon market over in Momo Township. You can have your share."

While Dong Yeyu warned him, he didn't forget to draw a cake for him - it didn't count as a cake.

I did buy these things. Xiuji has followed me for so long, and there is no credit but hard work. When the time comes, it will be okay to give him one or two.

"Spiritual wine?!"

Suiyoshi's eyes widened, he smacked his beak a few times, swallowed, and hurriedly patted his chest and assured: "My lord, you can rest assured, with me, Suiyoshizaemon, guarding the city, it will be as stable as Mount Tai!"

"By the way, I met a civet cat monster named Momotong in Taoxiang. Please ask her to ask someone to sort out the list of goods that appear in the monster market every once in a while. Then I will bother you to pick up the mail."

"Yes, chamberlain."

Xiuji subconsciously bowed in agreement, but mid-sentence, he looked at Dongye Yu with some confusion: "Why don't you contact me by mobile phone, my lord?"

Xiuji regarded himself as a retainer, not a domestic slave, and believed that he had the function of admonition.

Therefore, even if Higashino Yu had advanced cultivation and was so powerful that he could stab him to death with one finger, he still often raised some questions about Higashino Yu's decisions at the risk of offending his lord.

Sometimes Higashino Yu doesn't know whether he really has any consciousness and belief, or whether he is just parroting the words and deeds of the retainers in the Dahe drama.

"Because Mofuyu can't read."

"Illiterate?" Xiuji suddenly realized, shook his head with his wings behind his back and sighed: "Yes, there are only a few monsters like the lord and the minister who are familiar with poetry and books."

After giving instructions, Dong Yeyu walked out of the door, stepped from the shadow of the corridor into the bright white sunlight, and walked towards the shrine.

Just after leaving the apartment building, two children, one old and one young, walked out of the izakaya, like an older brother bringing his younger sister to eat.

Judging by his attire, he probably came from a poor family. None of the boy's clothes and pants fit him well, and they were a little dirty. He had a shaved head and was observing himself warily.

A meal in an izakaya for a family in this difficult situation is probably equivalent to a meal at KFC when I was a kid.

After all, the prices of eating out in Tokyo are not cheap, so many families choose to cook their own meals, which can save a lot of money every month.

The girl's dress fit her perfectly, and was a somewhat rustic pure black dress. Her body was clean and tidy, but her face was a little dirty.

Her originally cute little face was covered with dried snot, she was thin, her hair was messy and yellow, and her big eyes were very smart. She was looking up at the apartment building intently.

Dong Yeyu followed her line of sight with some curiosity and found that she seemed to be looking at her own home.

So he smiled kindly, put his hands on his knees, and asked with a smile: "What's the matter, kid? What's there?"

"Let's go."

The boy didn't seem to want to communicate. He glanced at Dong Yeyu, pulled his sister and left. The little girl was dragged while looking towards the apartment building.

Not long after, the two turned left at the intersection ahead and moved away from here.

Strange kid.

Higashino Yu watched them disappear at the intersection in front of them. He didn't notice anything unusual. He complained in his heart and walked towards the shrine calmly.

Entering the torii gate and stepping onto the shrine, the setting sun shines slantingly, making the shrine seem a little quiet and dim. The noise of the outside world seems to be isolated by this guarded forest. The occasional sound of car horns makes the atmosphere seem more remote.

As usual, I purified my hands at the Teshuisha, and then went to the worship hall to say hello to Inari God.

Naturally, he also used Tao Jue to bow his head and recite the Immeasurable God of Blessings, which can be regarded as indicating his identity.

In order to avoid being too familiar and letting God Inari have the idea of ​​​​accepting him as a divine envoy, if he refuses at that time, he will offend the god.

Of course, this is just a precautionary measure, and others may not think highly of you.

Pu Xin Fox, steamed shrimp head.

After praying, neither Haruhara nor Inari paid any attention to me, which was normal. After all, who is the good god who stays idle in the shrine all day long?

You think so, Yuanjun?

At this time, a girl was walking out of the small house on the right side of the worship hall that sold royal guards and lotteries. She locked the door and saw Dong Yeyu at the worship hall. She walked over and asked curiously: "Who are you looking for? "

Dong Yeyu turned his eyes when he heard the voice and found that it was a strange girl.

She was dressed in ordinary clothes, wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt on her upper body and black jeans on her lower body. She was about 1.6 meters tall. Even the loose sweatshirt could not cover the ravine on her chest. The slightly tight jeans stretched out a perfect round arc.

She had fair skin, a round face, delicate features, thick eyebrows, and a defensive posture with her head bowed. She was observing herself cautiously, looking like an honest girl from the countryside.

"Who are you?"

The girl was stunned when she saw Dong Yeyu, and she didn't come back to her senses until Dong Yeyu reminded her. She blushed and introduced herself in a hurry.

"I am the trainee shrine maiden of Inari Shrine, Moriyama Natsuki. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Trainee shrine maiden?

Miko was in poor health and could not do the job of shrine maiden, so it was not strange to recruit part-time shrine maidens.

After all, Mr. Iori was in his seventies and eighties, and cleaning the shrine every day was enough for him to drink a pot.

Higashino Yu shook his head, "I am Higashino Yu, a resident living here, and I just came to visit Iori Miyaji."

Moriyama Natsuki seemed to have forgotten that he had already gotten off work, and said enthusiastically: "Iori's house is behind the shrine, do you want me to take you there?"

"No, no, Iori Miyaji is my elder, I can go by myself."

Higashino Yu explained with a smile, and then said goodbye and left.

Moriyama Natsuki stood there staring at the back of the young man in a daze.

Is this the Tokyo handsome guy?

Suddenly, as if she thought of something, she quickly took out her mobile phone to check the time, and her expression changed drastically, "Oh no, I'm going to be late for work!" She shouted and hurriedly left with her backpack on her back.

Iori's house, tea room,

Higashino Yu and Iori Tadamichi sat opposite each other.

"Miko and her grandmother have been talking about you these days. Ayu, you have been away for several days and didn't call back to report your safety. It's really worrying." Iori Tadamichi looked unhappy.

While pouring tea for Iori Tadamichi, Higashino Yu explained, "You don't know, this demon-hunting operation requires going into the mountains. My cell phone is valuable, so I didn't bring it with me for fear of losing it."

Iori Tadamichi was suspicious: "I'll have a chance to call back and report safety in the next few days, right?"

Higashino Yu apologized a little embarrassedly, and explained, "Later, the phone was actually put in the backpack. I haven't touched a smartphone much in these years, and I forgot about it for a while. In addition, I have experienced a lot of things in the past few days, met many good demon-hunters, and was busy all the time."
