I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Time does not seem to leave people at a constant speed. When you are happy, a few hours pass by in a flash, and when you are sad, it is not an exaggeration to say that the days are like years.

This was not an ordinary afternoon for the teachers and students of Sunshine Garden. It started with a delicious pear, passed quickly with bizarre stories and Dong Yeyu's gentle and magnetic narration, and ended with Dong Yeyu holding his mobile phone and shooting a vlog of life preparing dinner together with the teachers and students of Sunshine Garden.

"Mashed potatoes and boiled sweet potatoes, this is my dinner for the children and me tonight. Sunshine Garden Children's Welfare Home is in financial difficulties. Please help us."

Dong Yeyu looked at the camera affectionately, pressed the button to stop recording, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, let Uncle Beidou take care of the rest."

Hokuto Seiji and even all the children looked at Higashino Yu with a stunned look.

"Why are you all looking at me?" Dong Ye Yu was a little confused. He didn't have the charm like other fox demons.

Kenta, who had temporarily recovered his health, hesitated for two seconds and said, "Nissan, you seem to be lying, but you taught us not to lie before."

Dong Yeyu looked serious: "Nonsense! Who did I fool? How did I fool?"

"But we still have so much for dinner tonight."

"But there are mashed potatoes and boiled sweet potatoes, right? I just said this is dinner, not the only dinner." Dong Ye Yu smiled, and a hint of cunning was revealed on his sunny and energetic face.

Asumi Sanae, who was peeling potatoes with Yotsuba, rolled her eyes at him and whispered to the girl, "Your Excellency the Knight likes to play with words like a devil. This is not right, Yotsuba, don't you think?"

"ah?"

Yotsuba blinked and just smiled, not showing much agreement.

She grew up with Higashino Yu and has a stronger sense of right and wrong than the average Japanese. If she were placed in Shenzhou and told that she was a Shenzhou native, no one would be confused.

But if the matter involves someone close to her or someone she cares about, her moral level will quickly decline.

The owner of the kitchen, Hokuto Seiji, watched for a while, and when he saw that they had finished, he washed his hands, put on his chef's hat, and came to the chopping board.

While processing the ingredients, he chatted with Dong Ye Yu who was helping to pick vegetables next to him.

"I think you should explain the situation to your fans. They may have come because of your appearance, but they stayed as your fans not only because of your looks, but also because of your personality. I believe sincerity is the key to touching people's hearts. What do you think?"

"Well, you're right. I'll add that I was joking later, and then give you a true introduction to Sunshine Garden."

"Very good!" Beidou Xingsi smiled and patted his shoulder.

Dong Ye Yu lowered his head and continued to pick vegetables. As a cultivator, his heart was as hard as iron. Naturally, he would not change his way of doing things because of what others said. He just didn't want to have any conflicts with Uncle Beidou.

I am never vague about major issues, but I don't mind using some dishonorable tricks on trivial matters like this.

To be upright and moral at all times is what a morally perfect person demands of himself, but I have never been a good person. Strictly speaking, I have never been a truly good person in my past or present life.

As long as it does not exceed the bottom line, I will choose any means available within the range to achieve my goal.

However, it is really meaningless to use the method of pretending to be pitiful to get leeks, and I don’t have many leeks to get.

Dong Yeyu quickly picked the vegetables, took his mobile phone and walked out of the kitchen. He filmed another vlog, edited and merged them, and sent them out together.

Soon there were many messages from fans.

"No. 1!" ID: Sky Blue Swordsman.

"Higashino-kun, come on!" ID: Today's Imagawa

Why are they all acquaintances? How about some unfamiliar female fans?

Dong Yeyu was sitting in the lobby of Sunshine Garden. He frowned and scrolled down. He saw an avatar of a beautiful foreign girl with fair skin. Then he read the comments.

"+3." Well, this is 8U, no further explanation.

"Hello, I am a netizen from the northern island country. Can we talk about the current situation of Sunshine Garden?"

Dong Yeyu was a little surprised. Was there any fundraising result so soon?

When I looked at the avatar, it was a two-dimensional avatar of a witch wearing a magic hat under a full moon. Then I looked at the ID, it was the Moon Witch.

You're too lazy to even change your number, right?

There were footsteps behind him, and Dong Ye Yu could tell who the voice was without even turning around.

"Your Highness, are you prepared to donate more?"

"No, I'm just curious whether Your Excellency the Knight would actually listen to my sermons." She strolled to the old piano in the corner, tested the sound, and sat down.

"It's unnecessary. If it were a matter of life and death for Sunshine Garden, I would do something worse." Higashino Yu said, and reminded him, "The piano is one million yen."

Seeing that Sanae was unmoved, Asuna began to play Für Alice. The gentle and cheerful piano music flowed in the afterglow of the sunset, and the girl's thoughts were also hidden in it.

Higashino Yu listened to the piano music that vaguely contained some meaning - Asumi Sanae was a smart person, and it was unlikely that she played a song like "To Alice" on a whim at this time.

What's more, she has feelings for me - of course, I actually like her quite a bit too.

But when I thought of the life I spent in the dream sword and Miko, I felt a little melancholy.

There was no doubt that his feelings for Miko had deteriorated. During the Dream Sword experience, the God of Pure Love was being eroded by chaos.

Teacher, you have done all kinds of bad things!

"For example?" The girl interrupted Dong Yeyu's daze by asking a question continuing the previous topic.

for example?

Dong Yeyu thought for two seconds, "For example, robbing the rich to help the poor."

His tone was very serious, because if he was forced into a corner, he would really resort to robbery - of course, robbing those congressmen, big gangs and the like.

Anyway, eleven out of ten of these parasites deserve to be shot.

"Oh! The treasury of the Mirror Moon is very rich!" Miss Moon Witch said in surprise.

"So you must be scared?"

"But Sir Knight has never been to the Mirror Moon. Can you find it?"

Dong Yeyu smiled confidently: "You forgot that I am a fox. I can smell your scent all the way to where you are."

"Your Excellency the Knight is such a pervert that he actually wants to smell the scent of his lord to find the location of the Mirror Moon Royal Court." Asumi Sanae said softly, as if she was concentrating on playing the piano.

Dong Yeyu was silent for a while, then gave an answer: "Since you know I'm a pervert, why did Your Highness approach me?"

The finale of Für Elise ends with a repetition of the opening melody.

Click.

Asuhi saw Sanae gently close the piano cover and sit in front of the piano in silence for a while. The setting sun lengthened their shadows until the world fell into deep twilight, until the two could no longer see each other's faces. From the next room came the cheerful sounds of everyone setting the table.

The silence in the lobby did not last long.

"If you want to talk about the initial reason, it is because you are very good-looking and do not have the frivolous temperament that my highness hates. You meet the standards of Mirror Moon to recruit Royal Guard Knights."

"So it's just such a simple reason?"

"What else do you think it is?"

"The call of fate, the pull of the same kind, the surge of the moon's tides, and so on. Shouldn't the Moon Witch use these words?"

Dong Yeyu felt strange, then narrowed his eyes and looked at the girl in the dark: "You are not Liuli?"

Ming saw Sanae was furious when she heard that. She gritted her teeth, but didn't want to ruin the current atmosphere, so she endured it, "What makes you think that my sister is more normal than me, Your Excellency the Knight?"

Her voice was like gently tapping on crystal in the silent dark night, clear and crisp yet with a kind of loneliness and coldness unique to the night. She seemed to pronounce the words much slower in order to make herself hear more clearly.

"Actually, I can understand you if you speak faster."

Dong Yeyu said with a smile, thought for two seconds, and replied: "At the ancient battlefield, it seemed that Miss Liuli was a very gentle person."

"She was pretending."

Miss Moon Witch mercilessly pierced the mask of the previous Moon Witch.

"Sanae, my sister has passed away. Do you still want to slander her in front of our Royal Guards?" Ruri's grief-stricken sobs came from the bottom of her heart.

What ours? That's mine!

The Moon Witch ignored all the sweet words from her sister in her mind, and leaned her hands on the piano lid, supporting her cheeks, her eyes fixed on the dusk blue night outside the window with the afterglow of the setting sun, as if she was lost in memories.

"In fact, it was my sister who was more immersed in the world of the Moon Witch when we were young. She was often scolded by my parents because of this. I was more like a good kid in the eyes of most people. I loved learning. Whether it was music, textbooks, painting or flower arranging, I learned very quickly."

You also know that the mirror moon is an illusion. Dong Yeyu complained in his heart, but as a listener, he was still qualified to raise questions at the appropriate time.

"But now it seems as if you are more immersed in it."

"Listen to me, Your Excellency the Knight, you should take some etiquette courses when you go back this time!" Asumi Sanae glanced at Higashino Yu from the side.

Dong Ye Yu was a little speechless. It’s also wrong to be the supporting actor, right?

Asumi Sanae continued.

"I was originally interested in the Mirror Moon. My sister put a lot of thought into it and even wrote a lot of plots and settings herself."

"So after finishing my long daily homework, I still had a lot of time to build the Mirror Moon with my sister. It can be said that everything about the Mirror Moon was built by my sister and me."

"And then?"

"Later, my sister and I spent less and less time daydreaming about the mirror moon together."

"How could that be?"

"Because everyone had high expectations of me, especially my grandfather and my parents, I gradually began to have an unavoidable feeling and had to put most of my energy into studying."

"Geniuses will inevitably bear the expectations of others, whether actively or passively," commented Higashino Yu.

"At that time, I didn't know how to say no. In order to respond to these expectations, I gradually ignored my sister. I even quarreled with her several times and said some very hurtful things to her."

"My sister wasn't angry. Later, she came to tell me that she had encountered monsters and that they wanted to play hide-and-seek with her. She also said that she wanted to recruit them to join Mirror Moon. I thought that was a lie she used to attract my attention and ignored it."

"Soon after, the family's warehouse suddenly caught fire and her body was found in the warehouse."

Asumi Sanae's tone sounded a little low, but she wasn't too sad. After all, five or six years had passed, and no matter how great the sorrow was, it would gradually fade in the torrent of time.

Not to mention that now she already knows that Liuli's soul is always with her.

After listening for a while, Higashino Yu roughly understood why Asumi Sanae became the Moon Witch she is now. She probably blamed herself for Ruri's death.

But after meeting Liuli again, these knots in my heart should have been untied, right?

Thinking of this, Dong Ye Yu felt that he had to ask where those monsters had gone - this was a harmful spirit, it was no longer an ordinary monster, it was a demon, and he must strike hard!

"Where are those demons now?" he asked in a serious tone.

Asuhi saw Sanae choking, and rubbed her school uniform skirt with her slender jade fingers, as if she was pinching someone's face. The atmosphere that was created with great difficulty was disrupted in an instant.

She took a deep breath and calmed herself down: "I've been looking for them."

"Didn't find it?" Dong Ye Yu frowned.

The girl shook her head.

"After my sister passed away, I inherited the title of Moon Witch and started looking for monsters to find out the whereabouts of the monster that killed my sister. At the same time, I have been constantly improving the Mirror Moon, but I always feel that there is something missing. There are too few people who can truly feel its existence. It was not until you joined that this problem was truly solved."

"So now you really understand the preciousness of your existence, right? It's hard to find a soulmate, so why not give your salary to--"

"no."

Asumi Sanae interrupted Higashino Yu's spell and then changed the subject: "Unless——"

Dong Ye Yu felt that the voice seemed to be getting closer and closer. His heart skipped a beat and he looked up, but he didn't know when the girl had stood in front of the chair where he was sitting.

The lobby with open windows welcomed the first ray of night breeze. She stood with her hands behind her back, her golden hair as bright as the morning light was coated with a layer of gentle moonlight in the cool breeze, and her eyes were frighteningly bright, as if countless stars were shining in them.

She bent slightly, her hair flowing past her ears, until their faces were very close, until there was only each other in their eyes.

"——Unless you follow me and go to the real Moon King's Court once."

Is this Sanae? Or Ruri? Higashino Yu's breathing paused slightly. Sanae wouldn't be so brave. I always felt that she had changed so quickly after reuniting with her sister.

The fragrance of the young girl lingering on the tip of the nose gradually makes people dazed, and it feels as if her warmth is transmitted over. No matter who it is, it is impossible to resist the urge to kiss her.

Dong Yeyu's mind kept flashing with the smiling face of the sword master in his dream. He even had the idea to persuade himself that it was an illusion. Even if it was an illusion, his heart could not be false.

Dongye Yu felt inexplicably sad, as if he was no longer a noble warrior of pure love.

"My appearance fee is valuable, my dear highness."

The Moon Witch closed her eyes, her butterfly-like eyelashes trembled slightly, and her red lips glowed with an alluring glaze under the rising moonlight.

"I can afford it, my good knight."
