I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

"I'm going to go."

Shuazang put his hands in Yamabushi's big sleeves, put on his bamboo hat, nodded to Higashino Yu, and strolled away alone and leisurely, walking very slowly, as if waiting for the other monsters.

"Ha, fox, you have to practice hard, otherwise if you can't beat me next time we meet, you will have to drink three drinks as a penalty!"

Badger Chiyo was holding the nodachi, picking her teeth with a toothpick while laughing loudly.

"I am practicing in this mountain. If you need help, you can come to me." Shu said, with a smile on the green-faced and fanged ghost face.

Heihachi shook hands with Higashino Yu with a kind smile: "I'm leaving now. I hope the next time I meet you will come soon."

Before leaving, Qilang hesitated for a moment and said to Dong Yeyu: "Be careful of the demon slayers, don't trust them."

"I have written down Shichiro's heartfelt words."

Dong Yeyu answered seriously, then looked at Zukan and other demons.

"If you have free time in the future, you can come to the Inari Shrine in Kita Ayase, Edo. The priest of that shrine has made friends with me. The envoys and gods are very friendly. I can only say that they are Higashino Yu's friends. That’s it.”

Although these six are monsters, they have good conduct and the demeanor of ancient knights. They work hard to cultivate Qi on weekdays. They are not comparable to those monsters who practice cannibalism. If a righteous god without an envoy encounters them, they will probably take them in.

"Okay, I'll go to you and ask for a drink when I pass by Edo one day!"

After a brief farewell, the demons carried their weapons with luggage hanging on them, catching up with Shuizang, talking and laughing, and strolled away together on the makeshift trestle.

The bright lanterns of the festival swayed in the cool night breeze, and the tanuki monsters bowed and bowed.

Several civet cat monsters led the way ahead with lanterns, and soon passed through the torii gate and disappeared into the peach grove in the middle of the night, leaving only a few lights flickering in the peach grove filled with silver-gray moonlight.

At this time, most of the monsters from the festival had dispersed. The tanuki monsters stood on tiptoe and looked at the backs of Zukan and the others as they left. They didn’t look too sad. They smiled and yawned before going back to their temporary settlement to rest. .

Dong Yeyu stood on the reception table and stared at the direction in which the six monsters left, feeling an inexplicable sadness welling up in his heart.

It's enough to say that he was wrong. He was reincarnated as a human being. His memory has not been erased, and his identity is still that of a human being.

Even after nearly twenty years of practice, I still don’t have the consciousness of being an immortal. It’s natural to have such delicate emotions.

Or is it actually because the monsters are too slow?

After this separation, it may be several years, or even decades, before we meet again.

Dong Yeyu sighed, drank the spirit wine filled with stars, moon and light and fire in the cup, and looked at Taodong beside him.

The tanuki girl in a beautiful kimono also turned her gaze. Her clear eyes with sinking starlight seemed to understand something. The corners of her mouth first curled up in a somewhat low arc, but she soon revealed a smile.

Dong Yeyu touched the civet girl's head: "It's time for me to go too."

Taodong pursed his lips and hesitated for two seconds, "But what about your money? Those twenty-odd coins are still in my hot spring hotel."

"Those divine coins are not easy to carry around in the mortal world, so let's leave them at your home first. I asked you before. If there are any rare treasures that meet my requirements in the Demon Market in the future, you can buy them for me first. If not, I'll trouble you. Write me a list of goods every week. If you need money urgently, you can also borrow it."

The hot spring hotel is located in a shrine. Now that the gods have returned to normal, there should be no blind monsters coming to steal it.

After Dong Yeyu said that, he was about to change out of his clothes - it was not close to Xiaoli Hot Spring Hotel, and he had to climb several mountains.

If I don't change my body, I'll probably have to run for a long time to get back, and the trails in the mountains and forests are difficult, so the kimono I'm wearing will probably be damaged after walking this distance.

This dress carries Momofuyu's feelings for his father, no better than the yukata at Xiaoli Hot Spring Hotel.

You can't just run around naked in the woods, right?

If someone sees him, the urban legend of the naked man in the forest will probably start to spread in this area of ​​Indo-Western China.

Taotong looked at Dong Yeyu's back, a little anxious, and hesitated for a moment on his furry little face, biting his tiger teeth, as if to make a decision.

She shouted: "My lord."

The civet girl had a premonition that once the white fox left, she might not come to this remote place for many years.

"Huh?" Dong Yeyu turned around, a little confused.

"I have decided to inherit my family's hot spring hotel and continue to open a shop on Xia Mountain!"

The civet girl's voice was so loud that it suppressed the civet cats' laughter and chatter with each other. It was so loud that it seemed that the entire fairyland could hear it, like the white mist rolling down the river in the sky quietly rolling in the distance.

Many civet cats smiled.

"Okay! Very motivated! That's what a tanuki girl has to be like, come on!" the tanuki monsters laughed.

Higashino Yu smiled: "I heard Santaro Tanuki say, this is good, it means that you have come out of that period of haze, there are still many years waiting for you to taste, and now Hisizawa Water God seems to be reorganizing his spiritual affairs. , Xianxiang will get better and better.”

"So, can you be the first customer in my store tonight?" Tao Dong walked over with small steps and asked with some hope.

"Ready to open so soon?" Higashino Yu was a little surprised at the civet girl's mobility. It is not easy for one person to manage an entire hot spring hotel.

"Well! The facilities in the hotel are actually intact, and the electrical appliances are not damaged. I have cleaned the store carefully these two days. Yesterday, I asked Aunt Narcissus to transform and go to the town to pay the electricity bill. It is ready and can reopen!"

"Is that so?"

The Taodong family's hot spring hotel is located in the bamboo forest on the hillside of Xiashan Mountain. It is less than half an hour away from the Xiaoli Hot Spring Hotel. It won't delay anything to go there.

This move is mainly due to the fact that the hotel is located outside the fairyland, and the guests are mixed, including monsters and mortals.

Mortals are okay. Although Taodong's cultivation is still shallow, he has received a full set of basic education from raccoon cats, so it is no problem to scare mortals with illusions.

Monsters are different. Even in the shrine, it is inevitable to encounter difficulties from monster guests.

Yuanjun is a dragon with a proud personality, and he may not take action.

Going there by himself is also a warning to the many monsters around Taoxiang Town.

Dongye Yu pondered for two seconds, looked at the raccoon girl with a nervous face, and nodded with a smile: "Then please take care of me."

Tao Dong saw that he agreed, but at the moment, he barely suppressed his excitement, blinked his eyes, bowed and said: "Welcome!"

Then he prepared to leave the fairyland, Dongye Yu went to change his clothes and turned back to his original form of white fox.

Tao Dong repacked his bag and turned back to his original form - a raccoon cat the size of a Samoyed, with a flowered cloth bag tied around her neck that was much larger than her body, looking a little funny.

Dongye Yu walked a few steps and looked back. Tao Dong followed behind him with four short legs and quickly caught up. His round little ears were shaking in the wind, the big bag on his back was shaking, and a red lantern was swinging back and forth.

Seeing him stop, Tao Dong looked up at the white fox as big as a tourist bus with some doubts, and asked: "Master Dongye, what's wrong?"

Dongye Yu smiled, looked at his back, and gestured: "Come up."

"Eh? Can I?"

Tao Dong was stunned for a moment, stood up, rubbed his little paws, and said quite politely, but he came closer.

Seeing Dongye Yu nod, he first carefully pulled Dongye Yu's hair, "Will it hurt?"

Dongye Yu shook his head: "No, it's like a hairpin that a girl wears in her hair when she dresses up. Well, maybe the feeling is even weaker."

"Then, Master Dongye, I'll come up?"

Tao Dong was relieved, and hurriedly grabbed Dongye Yu's slender fox hair and climbed onto his back. The whole civet cat sank directly into it, like a big flea.

She lay in the soft and dense fox hair, moving her limbs slightly as if swimming, and took a deep breath with her face in it.

"Is it ready?" Dong Yeyu asked.

"Almost!"

Tao Dong's body froze, and he hurriedly moved the bag in front of him, tied the fox fur around his waist like a rope, and held a red lantern in one hand to avoid getting lost in the white fog.

"I'm ready, Master Dong Ye!"

"Hold on tight."

The white fox laughed softly, leaped a few times, and disappeared into the depths of the peach forest.

"Is it really hot spring water?"

Dong Yeyu was soaking in a rather primitive hot spring bath made of stone, with a white sweater covering his forehead, leaning on the edge of the bath, a little surprised.

"Well! According to my father, Xiashan is actually a dead volcano, which has not erupted for hundreds of years. The hot spring in my house is directly connected to the natural hot spring on the mountain, so there were many guests before, and many mortals also came here because of its reputation."

Tao Dong said as he sat in the corridor outside, and the incandescent lamp illuminated the corridor brightly.

She held a mirror in her left hand and the green leaf used for transformation in her right hand, and kept picking it up and putting it down on her head. Seeing that it was a raccoon face every time, she couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.

"Oh, I saw it online. It's a mysterious natural hot spring hotel on Xiashan Mountain that doesn't allow overnight stays."

Dongye Yu casually flipped through his phone, then carefully placed it on the shore away from the pool.

"Aren't you going to hire a clerk to help? I'm afraid you can't handle it by yourself."

"My store is small, so it's okay. Master Dongye, how did you practice? You can actually fight against gods. You learned illusions in a short time before, but I can't transform completely."

"You are still young, and you practice There are not many days left, and your magic power is a bit too low. I will teach you a guiding method, but you are not allowed to teach it to others. Listen carefully."

"Ah? Please, please wait a moment!"

The panicked footsteps of the raccoon girl came from outside, and soon she ran back, "I'm ready, please teach me, Master Dongye!"

Dongye squinted his eyes lazily and taught the guiding method to the raccoon girl casually-although it was just the guiding method he had comprehended, simple and crude, but compared to blindly refining the moonlight according to nature, it was also a great way.

The raccoon girl was naive and didn't know what this meant to the monsters, but Dongye Yu taught her because she was simple-minded and had a good character.

The so-called law should not be passed on lightly is like this, otherwise you can see Ueda Jingzheng, who killed people and killed gods at the same time. The higher the cultivation, the more serious the damage caused.

As he spoke, he looked up at the night sky.

The night sky of the mortal world is not as dreamy as the fairyland, it seems much colder, but more real. Countless diamond-like stars hang on the black velvet curtain, and a crescent moon hangs in a corner.

It was the bright moon and the clear sky.

The next morning,

Dong Yeyu saw Tao Dong still sleeping, so he wrote a message on the sticky note and left the hot spring hotel carefully.

When I returned to the Xiaoli Hot Spring Hotel, I met several demon hunters who were about to leave in the small parking lot outside. They used to dislike each other, but now they said goodbye with a smile.

Although Xianxiang Dongye Yu seemed to be invisible this time, his shikigami performance was quite impressive. Demon hunters don’t say that everything belongs to themselves. As long as the power can be used, it is considered the strength of demon hunters.

Therefore, the fox shikigami is powerful = Dongye Yu is powerful.

Moreover, after Uda Jingzheng was killed, he also appeared in time to go to the shrine to rescue the imprisoned Jinguji Nobuaki and others. He is a powerful demon hunter worth making friends with.

Although I don’t know why he is wearing clothes like those raccoon monsters.

Dongye Yu returned to his room and packed his luggage. He quickly left the Xiaoli Hot Spring Hotel. While waiting for the bus at the bus stop, he saw Renshu who had returned from a distance. His big bald head was as shiny as wax in the morning light, which was quite conspicuous.

It is said that this monk was shot by a pistol before, but he just took out the bullet in a small hospital in the town, and was discharged after a simple bandage. He traveled around these days, went to temples and worshipped Buddhas.

Dongye Yu saw that his face was ruddy and his divine light was contained, so he was a little curious, so he greeted him: "Master Renshu, where are you going?"

"Amitabha, I just came back from Puxian Temple in the north of Inzai City, and I want to go to the hotel to rest."

Renshu put his hands together and bowed to Dongye Yu.

"Are you going to leave, Donor Dongye? The mountains and waters here in Taoxiang Town are beautiful. Why don't you stay for a few more days? How about you and I go to the mountains together?"

"Master, I appreciate your kindness, but the school schedule is tight, so I have to go back to Tokyo." Dongye Yu declined.

"That's a pity." Renshu said regretfully.

"Master, have you heard about the situation of the Ueda family since you came back from the city?"

Hitano Yu asked. He had basically turned a deaf ear to the outside world these days and had no idea about the follow-up of the incident. He asked about it at this time.

Ren Shu pondered for two seconds, "The demon hunters who were caught will basically have their demon hunter certificates revoked, and their magic will be confiscated. Then they will be judged according to the crime. The clan members who did not practice should not be implicated, but they will also be monitored."

"So, the Ueda family will probably be relegated to the ordinary class forever."

Hitano Yu sighed, "But this is also the Ueda family's own fault."

Hearing this, Ren Shu showed a look of compassion on his upright square face, put his hands together, and sighed.

"All sentient beings have the wisdom and virtue of Tathagata, but they cannot realize it because of delusion and attachment."

As he said, the bus in the distance drove to the station and stopped. The driver opened the door and looked at Higano Yu.

"Master, we'll say goodbye now. Take care."

"Tongye, benefactor, take care."

Dongye Yu said goodbye to the monk and got on the bus briskly. The aging car started shaking and only stabilized after speeding up.

There were not many people on the bus. There were only some grandpas and aunts who were going to the city on such an early bus.

I found a seat by the window in the back row and sat down. I opened the window and passed by the morning breeze with a faint floral scent. The breath of spring was still very strong.

This volume is over. Although it is not divided into volumes, this can also be considered a volume, haha.
