I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

"But if I miss Higashino-kun, how can I stop the mouths of those people in my family? Many elders of the demon slayer family have already tried it. In the next two years, I'm afraid someone will come and want to sign a marriage contract."

"How can you say it's a miss? Although the thank-you gifts I gave to Higashino-kun are things he urgently needs, strictly speaking they are not generous. If Hiiragi Kyung really likes Higashino-kun, he can use this as an excuse to talk to him. get along."

Jinguji Xinyi comforted his wife, but he knew in his heart that with his daughter's boring gourd-like character, this excuse probably wouldn't be used.

"But what about those relatives at home?"

Kiko Jinguji lowered her gentle eyebrows: "I'm just worried that Hiiragi will marry someone she doesn't like. She values ​​her family too much. If those people in her family use family as an excuse to let her marry someone, she will There will be no objection.”

"This won't happen. They don't dare."

Jinguji Xinyi said this and looked at his wife with a serious expression.

"Since Hiiragi Kyung was born, I have worked hard over the years, practiced hard, and integrated the inside and outside of the family, just to allow Hiiragi Kyung to choose her own destiny in the future. She can marry whomever she wants, or even doesn't want to marry. Everything depends on Her own thoughts.”

Having said this, he showed a deep smile: "When I was in college, I could use any means to eliminate competitors, and now I can use any means to protect Hiiragi mirror. I, Jinguji Xinyi, have never been a modest gentleman."

"So you punched the senior who pursued me with your fists in public?"

Jinguji Kiko glanced at her proud husband and said softly: "Reckless man."

"It doesn't make sense, so what's left is just fists?" Jinguji Xinyi laughed.

I said before that there is no reason to talk about love, but now I start to make sense again?

Kiko Jinguji rolled her eyes at her husband, turned her face sideways, and faintly heard Shiori Kaori's scream coming from the car carrying her daughter behind her, and smiled.

Higashino Yu had just seen off the Jinguji family and was about to go back upstairs when Fei Yi's transformed crow flew down from the roof of the opposite building and landed on the courtyard wall next to the apartment. He lowered his head and asked, "Are they gone?"

"Um."

"Then let's go to Furukawa's house right now?" Fei Yi fluttered his wings and asked.

"Wait a minute, I'll go back and put things in place."

"Then I'll wait for you down here."

Fei Yi doesn't like Higashi Yeyu's apartment very much. The space inside is too small. He has to be careful when he goes in, otherwise it's easy to crash and break something.

Dong Yeyu nodded, ran upstairs quickly, returned to the room, and found Xiuji sitting next to the box with gold paintings of flowers, birds, insects, and fish, looking anxious.

"Lord!"

The eyes of one person and one bird collided in the air, and their expressions were filled with excitement and anticipation, and there was a sense of nervousness as if a treasure letter had been opened after defeating the final boss.

"Coming, coming."

Dong Yeyu rubbed his hands, walked over in a few steps, kicked off his shoes, and sat down at the small square table.

See what good stuff there is.

Dong Yeyu took a deep breath and reopened the box. He didn't even look at the spell scroll or the room key. He directly picked up the white envelope containing the cash. The thickness was about the same as that of the air conditioner remote control, or even thicker.

Pulling out a stack of Fukuzawa Yukichi, I visually estimated that it was about one million yen.

The pen and paper flew around in Dongyeyu's hand, Xiuji's eyes seemed to be dazed, and the whole bird squatted beside him blankly, with its beak slightly open.

With one million in his hand, even Dong Yeyu felt the joy of harvest in his heart. He licked his fingertips, rubbed the textured surface of the ten-thousand-yuan bills, and counted them twice, no more, no less, exactly one hundred Ten thousand yen.

It may not seem like much, but if you think about it carefully, including the rent-free house, a million yen gift and a spell scroll, and the promise that you can go to Jinguji's house for help if you encounter difficulties in the future, it is actually rich enough.

In my previous life, when I was a child, I heard many stories of brave acts of righteousness, such as saving someone's drowning child.

Most families just buy some fruit and milk to visit, and the gifts are very meaningful, ranging from a few hundred to several thousand RMB.

The kind of situation in ancient times where a drop of water was repaid by a spring of water rarely happens in modern times. In comparison, the Jinguji family's thank you gift was thick and heavy.

Of course, for ordinary demon slayers, the most important gift is probably these scrolls that can be passed down to the family, and the Jinguji family's commitment must be delayed a little.

In the island country, if you don't get the permission of the source of the spell, you can't pass it on to others casually. The place here is small, and there are only so many big cities. Everyone can't see you when you look up, and you can easily be caught on the spot.

Of course, if the exorcist family from which the spell originated has disappeared or cannot be tested, there is no restriction.

The meaning of magic to the exorcist is like the meaning of books to scholars in ancient times, perhaps even more important.

After all, you can take the exam again three years after losing your reputation. If you can't defeat the monsters when you are a demon slayer, you will lose your life.

Dong Yeyu took his backpack and took out 300,000 yen from the one million yen. He combined it with the 100,000 yen he had left earlier and planned to use it to buy a small electric donkey.

The remaining money will be used as living expenses for the next few days, as long as it can last until the part-time salary is paid next week.

The remaining money is put together with the money to be sent back to the orphanage, and will be sent back together when the time comes.

This million plus is only a drop in the bucket for the operation of the orphanage, but girls like Riho and Yukihira probably won't complain about being hungry every night.

Then Dong Yeyu picked up a few sets of keys in the box and took a look at them. There were signs on the key chains with the address, type and area of ​​the house written on them.

"Well, Koto. Adachi Chiyoda. And the apartment in Akihabara?!"

Living in Akihabara is probably one of the dreams of many otakus.

Dong Yeyu looked at the bunch of keys and searched the address on the Guge map on his mobile phone. After understanding the general direction, he thought for a moment.

The houses in good places are basically high-end apartments, which are smaller in size and slightly more remote. For example, the houses in places such as Adachi Ward are larger in area, and there are single-family houses with an area of ​​more than 100 square meters.

"Xiuji, which one do you think is better?"

"This, please allow your lord and ministers to think about it for a moment."

Xiuji didn't expect Higashino Yu to ask himself, so he said quickly, walking back and forth on the tatami, thinking seriously.

It's rare for my lord to ask me for advice. After Xiuji thought carefully, he approached Dong Yeyu and said, "There are three choices for ministers: top, middle and bottom."

Are you addicted to role-playing? Do you want me to buy you a feather fan?

Dong Yeyu was speechless: "Long story short."

Xiuji chuckled and said, "The minister thinks it would be better to choose a large single-family house as the new city. If it is an apartment, it will not be large and there will be people coming and going. It will be quite noisy and affect the Lord's renovation."

You want to mess around in the house by yourself, right?

Higashino Yu glanced at him and realized Kichizaemon Sui's selfish intentions on the spot, but what he said was correct.

Most of the high-end apartments here in the island country are high-rise apartments. Although the living experience is better than that of single-family homes - the maintenance of single-family homes is more troublesome, and most of the single-family homes are very small in area. They are called space management demons, covering an area of ​​60 to 70 square meters. Three-story detached houses are the majority.

However, the coming and going of people is not conducive to cultivation. If someone disturbs the daily pursuit of purple energy, the gain will outweigh the loss.

Therefore, after thinking again and again, I gave up the tempting Akihabara high-end apartment and selected a few single-family houses in Adachi Ward and its surrounding areas.

Basically, it is some distance away from Ayasezaka Inari Shrine. The nearest house is about an hour away, but if you ride a small electric donkey, you can get there in about ten minutes.

Dong Yeyu put a few strings of selected houses into his backpack, put the scroll in the box into it, told Xiuji to guard the house, and then went out.

There were a lot of things to do this afternoon. After accompanying Fei Yi to Furukawa's house to see it, I wanted to send money and then buy a small e-mule to look at the house.

Unfortunately, this leaves me no time to go to the Ministry of Religious Affairs, Liberal Arts, and Science to ask about the qualification certificate for exorcism. It is said that the Ministry of Religious Affairs, Liberal Arts, and Arts is very punctual in getting off work except for motor classes.

But Higashino Yu is not in a hurry. Anyway, there is no place where he can use it recently. It won't be too late to go next week.

When he came downstairs, he said to the crow squatting on the wall: "Lead the way."

"Follow me."

Fei Yi whispered, spread his wings and took off in the strong wind, circled twice in the sky, and headed to the northwest.

Hatsue Furukawa got out of the police car and returned to the street where she had lived for decades. Looking at the short and dilapidated old house not far away, she felt as if she was in another world.

"Isn't this A Zhi? Why did you get off the police car?"

"Oh, it's Jingzi, something happened."

The old lady named Jingzi looked surprised: "Is it okay?"

Furukawa Hatsue showed a forced smile: "Fortunately, nothing happened."

After exchanging pleasantries with his neighbor Yasuko, Furukawa Hatsue tiredly pushed open the dilapidated courtyard door. The old lady stood on tiptoes and stretched her neck to take a look. She felt the breath of gossip, and an uncontrollable desire to share emerged in her heart. , leaving here as if riding on the wind.

In the past, Furukawa Hatsue would have threatened her with both soft and hard tactics and ordered her not to speak nonsense.

But she was in no mood to pay attention to her old best friend Yasuko, even though she might spread the news that she got off the police car.

She took out the key from under the dirty blanket in front of the door and opened the door. The familiar smell made her feel a little more at ease. She opened the entrance in the dark and waited. After changing her shoes, she came to the room and sat down.

Bah!

Pulling open the light cord in the room, the dim light illuminated the room. He left in a hurry last night and only brought some valuables with him, so the furnishings in the room did not change much.

The rusty electric fan rotates left and right on its own, and the cool wind occasionally blows over people's faces, bringing a slight rust smell.

Aji, that brat, forgot to turn off the electric fan again. Furukawa Hatsue's words came to her lips and she was about to scold him. Then she remembered something and fell silent. Looking at the rare empty room, she slowly sat down on the floor and turned off the electric fan.

Just then, the unpleasant crow of a crow came from outside the window.

"Lonely and widowed! Lonely and widowed!"

Is it Fei Yi?

Furukawa Hatsue immediately straightened up and looked in the direction of the sound. He felt in his heart that it shouldn't be the case. Hiei was taken away by the gods and could not come back.

She understood this truth, but her body still moved towards the window involuntarily.

Wow!

Pushing open the shoji door facing the vegetable garden in the courtyard, the sunlight shines through the lush branches and leaves of the zelkova trees in the courtyard, casting a large shade. Sporadic golden light spots fall on the floor beside the edge, so bright that it makes people subconsciously want to squint their eyes.

The white lotus flowers in the vegetable patch are growing well, and the leeks and green onions on the edges are ready to eat. Furukawa Hatsue thought and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

The sound was made by a little crow that landed on the wall of his yard.

Sure enough, isn't it? Furukawa Hatsue was a little disappointed, so she simply sat on the edge and muttered to herself.

"My Feiyi is much bigger than you, with beautiful feathers and a strong body. She is not even afraid of bullets. Haha, I usually see that she eats less, so I asked her to eat more. I didn't expect that the little girl is a big fat bird."

"Old woman, are you saying bad things about me behind my back?" The crow made a familiar girl's voice.

Furukawa Hatsue was stunned and stared at the crow for a long time. In the crow's eyes, she seemed to see the scene when she first met Feiyi.

As if afraid of hallucinations, the old man wiped his eyes with his sleeves and looked carefully.

"What are you looking at?"

Hearing this, she choked up and said, "You little bastard, you didn't even tell me you were back, how rude."

"What should I say when I get home?"

The crow jumped into the shade of the beech tree, transformed into a girl in a black dress, sat down next to Furukawa Hatsue, and was silent for a while: "I'm back."

Furukawa Hatsue looked at her, wiped her tears, and smiled with tears in her eyes: "Welcome back."

"Would you like to eat something? I'll go cook for you." The old man was about to get up, but was stopped by Feiyi.

"I'm just coming back to take a look this time, and I'll leave later. Where are Azhi and the others?"

Azhi Furukawa Hatsue was silent for a few seconds, hugged Feiyi and cried: "Azhi and the others can't come back, and I'm the only one left in the Furukawa family."

"Well, don't I still have me? What happened?" Feiyi frowned.

Furukawa Hatsue choked up a few times, and after a while of calming down, she explained.

"Aki was taken back by her parents. Nobuyo and Aji committed a crime. I don't know how long they will be in jail now that they have been caught. Shota was sent to a child counseling center. There is no one in the Furukawa family."

After hearing this, Feiyi fell silent and patted the old man's back gently: "Okay, I'm still here."

"Where did you say you were going?" Furukawa Hatsue asked with some concern.

"Go back to Inari Shrine. I am now a follower of the Inari God."

"Inari God? Really?" Furukawa Hatsue was a little unconvinced and grabbed Feiyi and refused to let go.

Just then,

Hua La La!

A strong wind blew and blinded her eyes. When her vision recovered, Furukawa Hatsue saw a white fox with two tails standing under the shade of a beech tree. Its hair was fluffy and slender, floating in the air even without wind. The narrow and long eyes of the fox did not give people a sense of cunning and treacherousness, but solemn and dignified, just like the appearance of the fox god in imagination.

He nodded slightly to Furukawa Hatsue, and then looked at Feiyi.

"I'm leaving."

Hiichi's voice echoed in my ears. There was another strong wind. The crown of the beech tree rustled in the wind, and the leaves fluttered and fell like rain.

When I opened my eyes again, the fox and the crow had disappeared. Only the large leaves falling in the air proved that they had been here.

Furukawa Hatsue was no longer upset. She sat on the edge of the edge for a while, and got up to prepare the vegetable patch for a while.

Although Aji and Nobuyo were going to be tried, and Shota Aki couldn't come back for the time being, Hiichi had to go back to the Furukawa family. As the elder of the family, I had to cheer up.

She was so close, she would come back to eat and talk with me occasionally, or she could go to the Inari Shrine to worship by herself.

Thinking like this, Furukawa Hatsue looked up at the blue sky. The sunny day that I thought was so dazzling that it seemed like an illusion, now it felt more real.

Monday, evening,

The music echoing in the restaurant of Duke Kobayashi's Residence was Beethoven's "To Elise". Dong Yeyu didn't feel anything for the first half of the music. After listening to the school bell for six years in his previous life, no matter how beautiful the music was, he would not like it.

However, there were a few unfamiliar and cheerful tunes in the middle that unexpectedly gave people a good feeling. The lights were covered with a light filter, and everything was magnificent, giving people the illusion of being in a palace banquet.

Dong Yeyu made a fat lady with a few words order a luxurious meal in the smile of flowers and fat like waves, and then returned to the front desk a little tiredly. Before he rested for two minutes, a guest pushed open the glass door.

"Welcome, guest, do you have an appointment?"

Hitano Yu habitually picked up the tablet, looked up, and was a little surprised: "Ms. Hashimoto?"

The person who came was Hashimoto Risa, who had visited this restaurant many times before. Every time she came, she ordered a table of dishes and didn't eat much. She just chatted with me. Later, I went to seek revenge on Kusaka Nagamasa. After my soul left my body, it was she who sent me all the way to the hospital before I went home.

She is one of my benefactors.

So I hurriedly walked out of the front desk to greet him, showing a sincere smile and thanking him: "Thanks to you last time, I have always wanted to thank you in person, but these days, you may be too busy and didn't come to the restaurant, so I didn't find a chance."

Hitano Risa forced a smile: "Hitano-kun is really polite."

Miss Hashimoto seemed to be in a bad mood.

Hitano Yu heard that her tone was not right, and took a closer look, and found that she was indeed a lot more haggard, and the fatigue that could not be concealed even with foundation, and there were bloodshot eyes, probably because she didn't sleep well, and there was a little swelling.

After thinking for a while, he said seriously: "It's not only time that kills youth, but also troubles. Miss Hashimoto, are you having troubles? If I can help, please tell me."

He began to accelerate into the main storyline. Brothers, please give me a monthly ticket. If you have time, you can also click on the heart of the character card. I will update more!
