I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami scolded coldly, and Shiori Kaori's screams were heard from the other end of the phone, followed by the slightly muffled footsteps of the girl's bare feet on the waxed wooden floor.

"As soon as they heard that the situation of uncle and aunt had stabilized, the two of them returned to this temper. If there is anything that offends Higashino-san, I apologize to you on their behalf."

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami was probably kneeling on the phone, and her voice was as cold as always, making people imagine her kneeling with a dignified manner, straightening her body curves, and talking on the phone expressionlessly.

Higashino Yu guessed in his heart that Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami called specifically because there must be news about the financial allocation from the Ministry of Religion, Culture, and Sports.

She is different from Asumimi Sanae. If she has nothing to do, she will not make a phone call or send a message. Her line account is mostly gray, as if she is dead.

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami is the kind of person who will not visit the temple for no reason. Her call is either a bad thing or a good thing.

At the moment, it seems that the follow-up to Taoxiang must be coming!

Jinguji Hiiragi, I want you to reward me!

Higashino Yu was looking forward to it, but he still smiled half politely and half sincerely.

"Ms. Shiori and Ms. Kaori are both very cute. After Momogo, they are companions who live and die together. It's not rude, let alone offensive. Jinguji-san is too kind."

"Mr. and Mrs. Jinguji were not in good condition before, so I was worried that Ms. Shiori and Ms. Kaori might be too sad. Now that I see them recovering, I feel relieved."

Higashino Yu paused here and rubbed his hands: "So, I haven't seen Jinguji-san for a long time. I wonder if you called me for something?"

"Long time?" Jinguji Hiiragi on the phone was a little confused: "It's not even a week."

"Really? Ahem, what I mean is that there is an old saying in Shenzhou, one day without seeing, it feels like three years. Suddenly, I feel that I haven't seen Jinguji-san for a long time."

"Higashino Nissan means that he misses his cousin." Kaori's voice came from the phone.

Then came Shiori's voice: "But when my cousin was busy, Higashino Nissan was not with her at the time, and my cousin was not happy. If the secret reward agreed last time is to our liking, ah-run!"

Dongdongdongdong!

After a scream, the sound of embarrassed footsteps sounded.

The call volume of the fruit phone was not loud, but Miko was not sitting opposite, but sitting on the left hand side of Higashino Yu, just in the direction of holding the phone, so she vaguely heard the movement.

There were three girls, two of whom were about the same age as her, and one was also very young.

I haven't heard Higashino Nissan mention it. Did you meet them in Taoxiang?

Miko's heart tightened, and she was a little curious about the identities of these people, and she was also alert.

However, Higashino Yu was on the phone, and she didn't want to disturb him. She just ate noodles quietly and slowly. Although the taste was not to her taste, it was the meal made by Higashino Nissan, and her grandmother said that food should not be wasted.

"The bounty from the Ministry of Religion and Literature has been allocated. Higashino's bounty is 600,000 yen plus a certificate of reward."

The voice of Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami did not change much, but he paused and explained: "The bounty is a bit small. It is said that their provincial funds are very blocked by the Ministry of Finance."

"Another reason is that Higashino does not have a formal demon exorcist qualification certificate. If he had one, he would have received more. I suggest that Higashino go to the Ministry of Religion and Literature to register for a certificate."

600,000? Although it is three times the original amount, it is indeed a bit less, right?

Although Higashino Yu had been mentally prepared, he was still quite disappointed.

In his previous life, there were many online novels about this kind of monster world. The professions dealing with monsters could easily earn millions of dollars, but he only had a few hundred thousand yen left?

Higashino Yu thought for two seconds and probably figured out the reason.

Although the fact is that he summoned thunder to solve Ueda Jingzheng, most people don't know it.

Because of my transformation, I rarely appeared in the battle of Taoxiang. In the eyes of many demon hunters, my presence was probably stronger than that of the invisible one. Later, I took them to Hishizawa Shrine to rescue Jinguji Nobuaki, and my presence was stronger.

In the eyes of most people, the main C to deal with Uda Keimasa was the divine thunder that they didn't know where it came from, and it was likely to be pressed on the head of a certain Kunitsu God.

The auxiliary was those big monsters, and I and Monk Jinshu and others were just marginal OBs. At most, my "Shikigami" was more eye-catching.

However, seeing that the funds of the Ministry of Religion, Culture, and Sports all need to be allocated by the Ministry of Finance, even if I summoned the thunder in human form and got the main credit, it would probably not be a one-time reward. I guess there would be officials coming to recruit me.

Then I found that I was still studying, and perhaps various subsidies for tuition and living expenses would be issued, and then I would graduate and enter the Ministry of Religion, Culture, and Sports as a civil servant with a direct train, which was an invisible reward.

After all, seeing that the entire mobile class of Takigawa Tadahiro and his team fought back and forth with the science-oriented monsters like Tobi, there were no truly powerful people - most of these people were in the hands of feudal forces such as the demon-hunting family.

Therefore, the Ministry of Religion and Humanities should urgently need strong wild demon-hunters to join.

Of course, this is an ideal situation. After all, I couldn't turn back into a human and summon a group of thunder gods naked at that time, right?

Having 600,000 yen can also solve the embarrassing situation after sending money back to Sunshine Garden. I don't have to eat noodles every day, and I still have money to buy a commuter electric scooter.

Higashino Yu is really fed up with Tokyo's crowded subways, especially when students go to school every day. Students and office workers mix together. Many times when there are too many people, subway staff even have to help push and squeeze to accommodate as many people as possible. Taking the subway makes me always crowded with people when I go to school.

So he thanked you politely: "Thank you for your hard work, Jinguji-san. I have time to go to the Ministry of Religion, Culture, and Science office to visit."

"It's all what I should do."

Jinguji Hiiragi said softly.

"One more thing, I told my father that Higashino-san sent a shikigami to protect me and Shiori Kaori in Momogo. The situation at that time was extremely dangerous. Thanks to Higashino-san's shikigami, otherwise Shiori and I Kaori will most likely die in the fog. After hearing this, my father decided to come to express his gratitude."

"Are you coming today?"

When Higashino Yu heard this, he looked around at his pitiful ten square meters home. Even the classmates found it shabby, except for Miss Moon Witch and Miko.

Moreover, it would be better to come to the door to say thank you with something practical, but to say it directly like this seems a bit too money-minded. Dong Yeyu still pays great attention to his own reputation, so he reminded him.

"Jinguji-san, don't you know the situation of my family? It's a shabby little apartment with a total area of ​​about ten square meters. There are no high-end places in Kita Ayase. I'm afraid I won't be able to entertain a big shot like your father well."

"Don't worry, my father is not the kind of person who looks for things outside of himself."

"Okay. When will your father come?"

"Are you free this morning, Higashino-san?"

"It's morning"

Higashino Yu thought for two seconds. He had to study with Miko this morning, and then asked Miss Moon Witch to communicate with Fei Yi. He probably didn't have time to entertain the Jinguji family.

Moreover, there are already guests at home, so if arrangements can be made, it would be better to stagger the visits.

If Jinguji Hiiragi's father comes over in the afternoon, you can send them money after seeing them off. By the way, you can buy a small electric donkey and ride back with the 600,000 yen sent by Jinguji Hiiragi. It's much more convenient to go home after working part-time.

After making arrangements in his mind, Dong Yeyu asked: "Is it okay this afternoon?"

Jinguji Hiiragi pondered for two seconds: "I will tell my father later, and then I will reply to Higashino-san with the exact time."

"Okay, then, see you then?"

"Um."

After hanging up the phone, Dong Yeyu thought about how to spend the 600,000 yen, while trembling.

Miko put down her chopsticks. She had already finished the noodles in the bowl, leaving behind a bowl of soy sauce-colored noodle soup that was dripping with oil. She naturally raised her head and met Higashino Yu's eyes.

"Are there any guests coming? Do you want me to go back first?"

"No, I'll ask them to come over in the afternoon or at another time. Miko, you learn first, while I eat the noodles and clean up first."

Higashino Yu finished the noodles in a few mouthfuls and drank up the soup. He tidied the tableware, washed the electric pot and put it away, then sat down at the small square table and put the homework and exercise books again.

He turned sideways and glanced at Yuzi's homework. He didn't find any problems, so he said softly: "If you encounter something you don't understand, you can ask me."

Miko's feet in pure white cotton socks were slightly rolled up.

"I know how to do it. But compared to studying, I still don't have a clue about the seat forgetting that Higashino Nissan taught me last time."

If you can easily forget it without studying the Jing Jing Sutra, then I would like to call you a holy body born to practice Taoism.

Higashino Yu explained: "That's because you haven't finished studying the scripture I taught you before. You need to study and do your homework first. I will continue to teach Yuzi the remaining scriptures later."

"Yes." Yuzi nodded slightly.

She enjoyed learning Chinese characters and the ancient Chinese text called Qing Jing Sutra with Higashino Yu, not because she realized how precious this ancient text was.

So the two of them sat at the small square table and started doing their homework. Miko seemed to have a lot of problems in her studies today.

Sometimes she would come over with a question and Dongye Yu would take a look at it and give a solution on the scratch paper.

After the explanation, she quickly asked some key questions without thinking, and Higashino Yu explained these questions one by one, and so on.

Although this girl doesn't know how to do a lot of homework, she seems to be very savvy.

Dong Yeyu thought in his mind that compared to the kind of person who keeps making mistakes after telling it over and over again, it is very easy to teach such a person to learn. Even if you need to break it into pieces and teach it, she can do it after only telling it once.

As it approaches nine o'clock, the temperature gradually rises, and the sunshine outside slowly begins to become less pleasant.

Higashino Yu turned on the old oscillating electric fan, mentally planning to take on more tasks after passing the Demon Exterminator Certificate, and try to get the small air conditioner back as soon as possible. If that didn't work, he would have to learn a spell to cool things down from Jinguji Hiiragi.

Summer in Tokyo is a life without air conditioning.

Bang bang bang~

Accompanied by the desperate sound of the electric fan starting up, the slightly rusty wind blew over his face like a veil, and Xiuji's eyelids began to droop.

It had just eaten a large bowl of breakfast mixed with sesame and grains, and after half an hour of maintaining its energy to perform Zaemon's duties, he felt sleepy.

Looking at the lord and Miko who were talking to each other in words that the bird couldn't understand, Suiji smacked the bird's beak and began to comb his feathers again.

He didn't find this kind of life boring. Before he met Dong Yeyu, he had to keep one eye open even when sleeping, for fear of being eaten by some monster.

Now that he can have three meals a day and be safe, Xiuji has nothing to say, only gratitude, and the lord's kindness will never be repaid.

Moreover, seeing that the lord may become a demon king in the future, as a minister of the palace, there is still a lot of room for improvement!

Xiuji thought in his mind whether he should be the general of the cabinet of the Higashino shogunate or the chief cabinet secretary in the future.

I don't know when he squatted in the same place, the bird's head drooped like a dead, and fell asleep.

Higashino Yu noticed this, but didn't wake him up.

Xiuji did practice all night last night, and it seems that he also knew shame and then courage. In addition, he has to spend a few days a week to visit various cities to inspect the living conditions of his benefactors. Therefore, Xiuji rarely has the opportunity to rest at home.

When they studied until more than ten o'clock, the two had finished their study for the day. When Higashino Yu was about to continue teaching Yuzi Chinese and the Pure and Tranquil Sutra, Miss Moon Witch called.

"Sir Knight, the light of the mirror moon has fallen outside your castle."

Higashino Yu thought for a moment and replied, "I will open the main door and invite the moonlight in."

Asumimi Sanae was stunned for a second and replied softly, "You said it very well, please don't keep me waiting."

Why don't we buy a collection of Shakespeare's poems some other day? It seems that Miss Moon Witch likes this kind of dramatic style of middle school dialogue.

Higashino Yu could feel the girl's joy and thought about it in his heart.

After hanging up the phone, he looked at Xiuji who was awakened by the sound of his phone call and pretended to be awake. He smiled, briefly explained to Miko, and got up to go out to pick up Asumimi Sanae.

When he came downstairs, he saw the girl standing outside the door of the apartment at a glance. Even in this sunlight that illuminated the world into bright white, her brilliance could not be concealed.

Miss Moon Witch's outfit today is the same as the last time she investigated Nekomata. She wore a white lace shirt with a light blue vest, a Krabat scarf and an iris brooch with gemstones, a dark blue windbreaker, dark blue breeches, and a pair of black leather women's flat knight boots for running.

Her golden hair was tied into a simple and neat right bun, and she wore an elegant Borsalino wool hat with a French blue ribbon wrapped around the hat and a delicate bow tied on the right.

She carried a mysterious theme women's small shoulder bag exclusively for the Moon Witch on her shoulder.

She stood in the sun, ignoring the curious glances of passers-by around her. The moment she saw Dong Yeyu, her ice-blue eyes seemed to light up instantly. She took off her hat elegantly and saluted Dong Yeyu, just like a real Moon Witch.
