I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Hearing this, Hashimoto Lisa smiled and said, "Please help me find a quiet dining place first, Higashino-kun."

She and she were familiar strangers, so it was normal that such a rash offer of help would not be accepted.

Higashino Yu had encountered this situation many times in the past when repaying a favor, and he did not rush to say anything, but just smiled gently and nodded slightly.

Looking at the remaining dining places on the tablet, he chose a place that was in the corner and could see the bustling street outside through the window.

"What do you think of this place?"

"Yes."

"Please follow me."

Higashino Yu took her to the selected place, where the light and shadow intertwined perfectly, dividing it into an independent space. Hashimoto Lisa sat on the chair and felt that she was alone with Higashino Yu, and her mood was slightly relaxed.

Higashino Yu pulled up the menu on the tablet and handed it to her.

While flipping through the menu, Hashimoto Risa chatted with him, "Hitano-kun has lived in Tokyo for so many years. What do you think of this city?"

Hitano Yu pondered for two seconds, smiled and shook his head: "Actually, I have only been in Tokyo for two months. I am not a native of Tokyo, or even from Kanto. I came here from Kyoto to study."

"But I have lived here for two months. If you want to hear my opinion, I can also give my opinion."

Hashimoto Risa nodded slightly: "Two months also has two months of opinion."

Hitano Yu pondered for two seconds: "Before I came here, I just thought this was a place to show my talents, but I left my hometown to study in Tokyo. It has been two years since I left. In the month, I realized the cruelty and loneliness under the bright lights and wine, and I could better understand Thoreau's words, "If I really talk to the clouds, don't be surprised. The city is a place where millions of people live alone together. '"

"Look at the bustling people on the street. They are only a few centimeters apart, but they may never communicate in this life."

"Speaking of communication, I have always wanted to ask you as a senior about some experiences of living in Tokyo. Are you willing to share? You are a pioneer and a successful person. Your success, experience, efforts and worries may provide enough reference for my future life. "

This is a euphemism to express that you can be the object of confession.

Hashimoto Lisa heard this and subconsciously glanced at Higashino Yu.

The boy is tall and healthy, handsome, and has bright eyes, like the morning sun in midsummer. It is indeed more reassuring than ordinary adults, but in the final analysis, he is just a high school student.

Confess to high school students?

She thought so and didn't take it seriously, but she didn't have any disdain or other emotions in her heart.

Even if it was just words of comfort, it made people feel that he was really caring about them and wanted to help.

For Hashimoto Lisa, who had been away from home for many years and worked alone in this cold city, it was a little comforting. At least someone really cared about her.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Higashino Yu didn't force her, but just smiled: "Of course, this is just me moaning away from home. Lonely people always feel that the world is dark, so you just listen to it."

"Higashino-kun is right. Tokyo is such a city. Even the relationship between friends is like fireflies in the forest. The seemingly warm light spots actually have no temperature. Only family can give comfort."

Hashimoto Lisa said softly, and was a little surprised about Higashino Yu's origin: "Isn't Higashino-kun a native of Tokyo?"

When she came to the restaurant to chat with Higashino Yu before, she mostly talked about some Chinese poems, songs, clothing and jewelry, but didn't ask about the other party's place of origin.

She just felt that it was rare to find someone with common hobbies and feel comfortable with him, so she forgot to ask these questions that should have been asked.

Hashimoto Risa thought, maybe this is what the sages of Shenzhou said about the friendship between gentlemen being as light as water?

"Well, I am from Kyoto, to be precise, from Kyoto Shigure Gakuen. When I was a child, I wandered to Kyoto. Because I had no clothes to wear, I stole clothes and was caught and put in a children's welfare home."

Hitano Yu never concealed his dark history. Only by facing the past and reconciling with himself can the Tao heart be clear. People who are too persistent will encounter more demonic tribulations when practicing Taoism.

Hashimoto Risa was stunned when she heard this, and her eyes stared at Higano Yu: "Which welfare home is it?"

"Sunshine Garden."

Hashimoto Risa was stunned for a second, and said in astonishment: "You are the naked Higano?!"

Hitano Yu: Impolite woman.

Dong Yeyu showed a very gentle and kind smile: "You actually know about this? You must be a resident living near Sunshine Garden?"

"It happened ten years ago, I didn't expect you to remember it. The past is unbearable to look back. But the person who gave me this nickname is really a good person. If it weren't for this nickname, maybe you and I wouldn't be able to reunite through Sunshine Garden ten years later. May I know the name of that person?"

Dong Yeyu asked with a smile, and his originally sunny and upbeat temperament became a little distorted.

Hashimoto Lisa just smiled mysteriously at Dong Yeyu's question, and didn't say anything, pointing to herself, "Don't you know me?"

Thinking about it, she nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, the day you entered Sunshine Garden, I just graduated from high school and packed my luggage to embark on a journey. I only met you once. I still remember the way you walked into Sunshine Garden carefully with a blanket on your back."

Can you please stop mentioning that thing. Dong Yeyu hated why the Creator gave such a high configuration to memory when creating humans. Can't it be a little more?

If Apithecus erectus has such a high configuration, how can other creatures survive? How does a fox live?

Dong Yeyu complained in his heart, but his expression was surprised, "Are you actually a senior in Sunshine Garden?"

I had told her that she was the eldest sister from the garden, but I was still trying to be polite here. When I went up to her, I asked her directly, "You can't stop me if I want to repay my kindness. There are no boundaries between people, and there are no boundaries between a family."

Risa Hashimoto smiled and said, "It's almost the same, but because of work, I haven't been back to Sunshine Garden for many years. How is Dean Miyazaki?"

Both of them were children from Sunshine Garden, and they had a kind of intimacy that transcended time. Therefore, even though they were more than ten years apart in age, they immediately became closer to each other as soon as they talked about it.

Higashino Yu no longer had a smile on his face, sighed and shook his head: "It's not good, the economy of Sunshine Park is in trouble, and Director Miyazaki has begun to sell off his property to maintain the operation of the welfare home."

"Is that so?" Risa Hashimoto's expression darkened upon hearing this, feeling a little guilty.

In fact, when she successfully took root in Tokyo three or four years ago, she wanted to go back to Sunshine Park for a visit, but either her client work was delayed or Mayuri's illness.

Life is like a mess of threads, always blocking oneself from turning back.

She thought for a while and nodded slightly: "When Mayuri's illness gets better, I will go back and take a look."

"Mayuri, is she the cute girl on the phone last time? She is also a child in Sunshine Garden?"

Higashino Yu thought about it and had no impression. There were not ten but eight girls named Mayuri in the Sunshine Garden, but I didn't hear that any of them were picked up by the big sisters who went out of the garden to enjoy their happiness in Tokyo.

Risa Hashimoto shook her head: "She is an orphan in the Santa Maria Welfare Home in Tokyo. I spent some time with her when I went there as a volunteer three years ago. Mayuri is a very good child. Probably because I saw the shadow of myself in her, I got very close to her, and because she was blind, no one was willing to adopt her, or the people who came to adopt her were not very good, so after careful consideration, I simply adopted her. "

"Dean Miyazaki would be very pleased to know that you have inherited the spirit of Sunshine Garden."

Higashino Yu sighed, although she really wanted to complain about why this Hashimoto sister was so blessed without a child from Sunshine Garden.

But adoption is a matter of fate.

Being able to adopt and take good care of a child that is not your own is already considered morally noble, so what else can you blame?

"Since we are a family, I won't make any circles."

Higashino Yu said bluntly: "Sister Hashimoto looks very haggard. Is it because of work or Mayuri's condition? If you need help, please let me know."

The young man is stubborn and has a good face. Risa Hashimoto has a delicate and beautiful appearance. She has seen many such boys since she was a child and wanted to show off in front of her.

But the younger brother Higashino from Sunshine Park in front of him probably really wanted to help.

Although she didn't think the Higashino Yu Gang could get her, she still accepted this feeling and confided it to her family.

"I don't know if it's an illness." Risa Hashimoto rubbed her temples, "I took Mayuri to the hospital for a checkup. The doctor said that Mayuri is in good health except for the congenital eye disease."

"What are the specific symptoms?"

"Having nightmares. In the past week, Mayuri has been having nightmares every night. It was just a mild nightmare at first, and then she would wake up screaming every night."

"The child is afraid to sleep now. Her face is so haggard and frightening. The nanny who has been taking care of her said that Mayuri hasn't slept in two days."

Nightmare? Can't check it out?

"If you are sick, I really can't help you at the moment, but if it's such a mysterious thing, I might have some ideas."

Higashino Yu's keen fox nose smelled an unusual smell. He thought about it and asked, "Sister Hashimoto, have you ever thought that it was a monster causing trouble?"

"Yōkai?" Risa Hashimoto looked at Higashino Yu in surprise, "Higashino-kun is a top student at Tachibana High School. Do you believe in this kind of thing?"

"Just call me Ayu. As for the monster thing."

Dong Yeyu is not going to hide anything. Mortals who have suffered monster disasters can know something about monsters.

So he looked left and right, moved his body a step, blocked the surveillance camera, and raised a finger in the blind spot of his field of vision. The blue fox fire like a candle flame danced between them.

Risa Hashimoto's eyes reflected the blue flames, and she looked surprised, but it was not to the point of subverting her three views. She frowned and asked: "Magic?"

"No, it's a spell."

Dong Yeyu extinguished the fox fire and corrected: "There are not only monsters in this world, but also gods. Naturally, there are demon slayers. I am the demon slayer. Maybe I can help you."

Seeing that Risa Hashimoto didn't believe it, Higashino Yu smiled helplessly: "If you don't believe it, how about just treating it as a family member who came from afar and wants to visit you?"

"Then I'll wait for you here until get off work."

Dong Yeyu was afraid that something irreversible would happen if he delayed for a while, so he immediately said: "No, I can ask for leave."

Risa Hashimoto thought for a while, nodded, and had no intention of eating. She wanted to pay the bill, but the dishes she had just ordered were not even ready yet. Higashino Yu went to the head waiter, Ms. Miyamizu Chinatsu, to explain the matter and helped Hashimoto explain it. Sha canceled the order.

After doing all this, Higashino Yu turned around and walked to the manager's office, preparing to ask for leave from the manager Kasahara Masato - you can also ask for leave from Ms. Miyamizu Chinatsu, but you probably won't be able to keep your part-time salary. He has been working for so long today, so he can't Working for free.

Hashimoto Lisa looked at his back, smiled, put away her wallet, and felt a little strange in her heart. The two orphans who had only met once from Sunshine Garden met again in Tokyo ten years later because of fate.

However, the naked Higashino at the beginning actually grew up to be such a handsome young man.

Higashino Yu asked for leave from the manager. It was already eight o'clock. At least half of the guests in the Duke of Kobayashi's residence came for Higashino Yu. At this time, they were all coaxed to smile and began to enjoy the meal.

The business index tonight had already exceeded 80%. Masato Kasahara simply asked about the reason, and Higashino Yu simply told this wonderful thing with fate.

Masato Kasahara didn't know whether to believe it or not, but just smiled and agreed, looking at Higashino Yu, "As for the part-time salary, don't worry."

The two looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

Higashino Yu was just after this promise. After getting the guarantee that his salary would not be deducted, he went to the locker room to change back into his school uniform of black trousers and white shirt. The weather was a bit hot, so he didn't wear a coat.

The two left the restaurant, leaving behind some waiters who were looking around and the lady with a stunned face.

The lady had seen Hashimoto Risa many times in the restaurant and recognized her. After she realized what was going on, she was immediately furious. She grabbed the arm of the waiter next to her and shook it hard while asking loudly: "Why, isn't that a guest too? Why are you treating him differently? Let Higashino-kun come back!"

The other guests who came for Higashino Yu were also unhappy when they heard this.

The waiter with a sad face quickly found the foreman. Miyamizu Chinatsu saw that something was wrong and called the manager Kasahara Masato.

"Everyone, please don't be impatient. Listen to me."

Masato Kasahara then re-described Higashino Yu's words with exaggeration, from the meeting in the orphanage to the accidental glance back ten years later, what a deep love between a sister and a brother, what Kyoto orphans, anyway, it all leaned towards the direction of family affection.

For a while, even the guests who did not come for Higashino Yu listened quietly.

"It turned out to be such a wonderful encounter. The reunion of a sister and a brother ten years later." The greasy-faced lady covered her mouth with a silk scarf and choked with tears in her eyes.
