I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

"I asked my dad later. My family had actually been divided into several families. At first, he played a major role in the Battle of Osaka and became the lord of the Fukuchiyama Domain. However, the lord later moved to the Chikugo-Kurume Domain. I don't know why we were separated at the time. Once, he separated and stayed in Fukuchiyama Domain to take office. "

Arima Norimune looked proud when talking about this matter. He was once a samurai noble like the lord of the Daimyo domain, although it later declined.

What's the air? I am still a nobleman of Yan and Huang. My ancestors can be traced back to Emperor Zhou. Am I proud?

Dong Yeyu glanced at him: "Did your family have many descendants?"

Arima Norizong asked with some surprise: "How do you know? Several generations of ancestors had many concubines and gave birth to many concubines. Although they inherited the family name, most of them could only leave home to make a living on their own, compared with wandering samurai. It just seems to have some origins.”

Zhongshan Jingwang Island Chinese version, right? Dong Yeyu was speechless.

Imagawa Kashiwagi is a little curious about ghosts - in fact, he is quite interested in things like monsters and ghosts.

Seeing the crooked building, he quickly turned around and asked, "What's going on with that sword master?"

Arima Norimune explained: "His name was Arima Tadayasu, and he still served the Fukuchiyama Domain after the separation. However, this ancestor later died in a war against the Fukuchiyama Domain because of the feudal lord's suspicion. I later looked up that A piece of history.”

He gritted his teeth when he said this, "That thief lied about the military situation and deceived my ancestor into being surrounded by the enemy. He also deliberately stood still and left him alone and helpless. At that time, ancestor Zhongkang only had a dozen warriors around him, a hundred ashiqing, but he had to fight against an army of two thousand. , Ancestor Zhongkang severely damaged the enemy and finally died of exhaustion. "

The world line here is different from the previous life. The island country in the previous life was basically stable after entering the Tokugawa Shogunate era. But in this world now, due to demons, the Tokugawa Shogunate’s control is limited to Ayutthaya—in fact, even Ayutthaya There are also occasional demons causing trouble.

Therefore, it is impossible to effectively control some small and medium-sized famous names. It is not known whether it is bewitched by demons or ghosts or people's hearts are like demons. Conflicts and wars occur from time to time.

However, no matter who is the winner, as long as they comply with the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate and pay taxes and food on time, generally speaking, the shogunate will not send troops to intervene, which is somewhat similar to the Ming Dynasty's rule policy.

"After our ancestor died in battle, the Fukuchiyama Domain changed its ownership, and later became Tenlord. The Arima family fled to Kanto to make a living with the help of many samurai who were loyal to our family, and used the name of our ancestor to find a job with other daimyo. However, due to the talent gap, the subsequent ancestors were not good at war and strategy, but they were prodigal and had good skills. As a result, they became worse and worse, and finally declined. "

It's quite legendary. If it were made into a Taiga drama and called Arimaden, I would probably like it.

Dong Yeyu thought interestingly in his mind, and then asked: "So what does this matter have to do with me? Your ancestors can't swallow this breath and want me to fish the Kuchiki family out of the underworld and torture them?"

Arima Zezong was stunned: "Is it okay?"

"Can't."

Higashinoyu twitched his lips. It happened hundreds of years ago and he had been reincarnated countless times. Where can he find it? He couldn't go to Izanami's land to look through treasures like the Book of Life and Death, right?

I don't have such a big face, and what if Izanami takes a fancy to me and wants to keep me?

When Izanami gave birth to her son Kagutsuchi, the god of fire, she was burned beyond recognition by the god of fire. Even Izanagi was so frightened when he saw it that he picked up his pants and ran away. He was probably a heavy burned corpse with maggots on his body and pus on his head. appearance

"Oh. That's not true. The problem with Ancestor Zhongkang is that he has lost his memory."

"Amnesia?"

With a mysterious expression, Arima Zemune glanced at the students coming and going, approached Higashino Yu and Imagawa Kashiwagi, and whispered: "He doesn't seem to remember that he died on the battlefield, and even thinks that he is still alive, but stubbornly thinks that he is. I’m dreaming about future generations.”

"When I stay at home, he often criticizes and bosses me around. But in fact, only I can see him. He is a poor little old man."

Arima Norimune looked complicated when he said this.

"But even though he didn't remember it, he seemed to have realized something. He was eagerly looking for a successor who could learn his sword skills well enough. Although he gave me some pointers during this period, it was only for the sake of me being his descendant. He doesn’t look down on my talent. I often talk to my dad when I’m alone at home, saying that my swordsmanship is going to be lost, but my dad can’t hear me.”

Arima Norimune sighed, the disappointment evident on his face.

As descendants, you are lucky enough to meet the souls of your ancestors, but you are not able to get recognition.

Dong Yeyu himself comes from China, which has a strong ancestral culture, so this is understandable.

"So you want to help him fulfill his wish?"

"After all, he is the ancestor of my family. Seeing him wandering around the house every day makes me feel uncomfortable." Arima Nozomi sighed and looked at Dongye Yu with a pleading look: "Why don't you go back with me today, Dongye?" look?"

In fact, I want to get approval from my ancestors.

Higashino Yu looked at Arima Norimune seriously for a moment, pondering in his heart, this is not a bad thing, there is always no harm in having a sword master to teach you swordsmanship.

As for whether it would be embarrassing to have a mortal ghost as his teacher, Higashino Yu didn't feel that way.

Confucius once said, among three people, there must be a teacher. The disciple does not need to be inferior to the teacher, and the teacher does not need to be better than the disciple.

A true master always has the heart of an apprentice, not to mention that he is only at the entry level in swordsmanship.

"It won't do me any harm. It's okay to agree to it, but you won't charge me tuition, right?"

Higashinoyu said suspiciously, he has never been afraid of assuming the worst ill will towards others. Arima has been complaining about poverty every day recently. When the time comes that he has learned all the swordsmanship of the Arima family from his ancestors, he will ask for money. I really can't help but give it.

After all, I can’t forget the swordsmanship I learned.

You must be on guard against the tactic of inviting you into the urn.

"Am I that kind of person?"

Arima Zezon patted his chest and playfully hit Higashino Yu on the shoulder.

"I'm begging you for this. After all, learning swordsmanship from a ghost is probably quite difficult for you, even if you are a demon slayer. If you are not a relative, who wants to come into contact with a ghost? Most people find it unlucky, and I understand ”

"I owe you a favor. I won't charge tuition fees, and my previous remuneration will be upgraded! I'll cover lunch for this semester, as well as the study materials for the cram school I attended in three years of high school. I'll give them all to you when the time comes."

Dong Yeyu said in surprise: "You gave it to me, so what do you want to learn?"

study? Learn shit!

Arima Zezong complained in his heart that he had been in cram schools since he was a child, and now he felt a sense of resistance when he saw cram schools.

Of course, you can't say this in front of your friends. He just carried his shoulder bag and put his hands behind his head. He looked at his two friends and smiled: "I made two copies, and Imagawa, you also have one. Speaking of which, the three of us are like this We hit it off, it would be great if we could go to the same university in the future!”

His blood boiled up as he spoke, and he walked to the front to face the two of them, walking backwards and dancing while giggling like a daydream.

"When the time comes, Higashino will finish writing the cram school materials and pass on his experience to you and me. We will study with concentration. Tsukuba Keiyo will not be a problem by then. If Waseda and his ilk don't even take a look, Todai will be nothing more than mediocre and will be killed! In the end, you The three of us crossed the red gate together, and our names will remain in the history of the flower school, which will be a beautiful story for a lifetime~"

"What a beautiful thought."

Higashikata rolled his eyes. It would be easy to pass the exam if he attended a cram school at Tung University. How could there be so many students dreaming of Akmon?

"Hey, it's possible."

Imagawa Kashiwagi watched the two people chatting and laughing, and pushed up the glasses that had slipped on the bridge of his nose.

At this time, the three of them happened to walk outside the first-grade teaching building, surrounded by students coming and going. Because it was drizzling, the scene in their field of vision was more realistic than when the sun was shining.

There are lush vegetation in the flower bed, and the drizzle gathers into crystal water droplets on the leaves and stems, making the green color even more profound.

Students passed by in twos and threes chatting and laughing. Arima and Higashino complained to each other. Imagawa Kashiwagi smiled, silently keeping this feeling in his heart, and nodded with a smile: "It would be great if we could enter Tokyo University together."

Because he often had to help his family open a store, and his grades were already close to the top, he didn't sign up for cram school.

However, because the famous universities in the island country set their own questions and apply for the exam themselves, it is much more difficult than the unified exam. There are also many unfamiliar question types, knowledge, etc., so it is difficult to pass the exam without special information guidance from cram schools.

Imagawa Kashiwagi's dream is also to be admitted to the University of Tokyo, which is an agreement he made with one person.

Arima Norimune saw Imagawa Kashiwagi's appearance and grinned, "Look! Imagawa thinks so too, so Higashino, Tachibana Mitan's affairs all depend on you!"

"I think if you buy less AV and less catheters, there is a slim chance that it will work."

"Please spare me. Teachers are the only ones we cannot let down."

"Then just say shit and cool off."

Normally, Higashino Yu rides a small electric donkey to school, while Arima Norimune and Imagawa Kashiwagi occasionally ride bicycles and occasionally take the subway.

However, it was raining today, so several people came by subway. At this time, they had to take the subway to Arima Norimune's house.

The Arima family lives in the prosperous Shibuya District Honmachi, some distance from Bunkyo District and two streets away from the subway station.

It took a few people more than half an hour to arrive after setting off from the school.

His family does not live in a tower apartment like the average middle class, but in a one-family building with a yard. The area seems to be several times smaller than the house where Dongye lives now.

However, compared to the one-family house built with an area of ​​50 to 60 square meters, it can be said to be a luxury house - this is Shibuya District after all.

"This is my home. Is it your first time here? It's rather shabby, not a tower apartment."

Arima Zezong stood in front of his house with his arms akimbo. Although he said so, there was a sullen expression on his face.

It's a great honor to have such a one-family apartment in Shibuya District, which is different from ordinary tower blocks.

"Fuge V50."

Dong Yeyu showed an envious expression. If his family had such a house in his previous life, he would not have been slightly depressed for a period of time on the eve of college graduation.

In my previous life, I came from an ordinary family, and I studied computers in college. However, because the things taught in school, whether it was machine language or data structures, were not up to date, and they were academic, many problems arose in the practical graduation thesis project.

Although I finally checked the information and solved it one by one, I still started to have self-doubt and internal conflict. I was even worried about being fired on the first day of work, which would lead to me having no money and no face to go home and live on the street.

Of course, if you later get connected with the Universiade, you don’t have to worry anymore.

"Come on, I know you made a lot of money part-time, Higashino." Arima Norizong elbowed Higashino Yu, opened the courtyard door, and invited him and Imagawa Kashiwagi to enter the house.

"I'm back!"

"Excuse me." X2

Arima Norimune's father hadn't gotten off work yet, and his mother was home alone. The three of them changed their shoes at the entrance, and they bumped into her.

Mrs. Arima was a middle-aged woman with a good figure. She looked pretty and not tall, only about 1.5 meters. She was wearing a red casual top and a beige long skirt. At this time, she was trying the cosmetics she had just bought with great interest. It seemed that she had just returned home from shopping.

While trying the foundation, she glanced at Arima Norimune and frowned: "Aren't you going to the cram school today?"

"I invited a friend to my house for something, so I asked for a day off from there."

"Friend?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Arima's eyes fell on Imagawa Kashiwagi and Higashino Yu.

Glancing at Imagawa Kashiwagi, he gave people the impression of a gloomy boy with long hair. Could he be a otaku?

She frowned and looked at Higashino Yu again. He looked handsome and had a bright temperament. He was not lacking in the high spirits of a boy, but also had a unique calmness, which made people feel good.

With just one glance, her dissatisfaction and suspicion disappeared, and she nodded involuntarily. This boy looked like a good student.

"These two are."

Arima Norimune introduced with a smile: "My classmates, I told you before, Higashino Yu, who is in the top five of the grade, and this is Imagawa Kashiwagi, who is also in the top 100 of the grade."

"Hello, auntie." The two bowed politely.

"Higashino-kun, Imagawa-kun, welcome to the Arima family, just like at home, don't be too restrained."

After hearing the grades of the two, Mrs. Arima's smile became more sincere. After that, she glared at Arima Norimune: "If you had played with such excellent classmates in junior high school, your grades would not be so mediocre."

Arima Norimune just laughed and didn't refute.

After a simple etiquette greeting, Arima Norimune took a few people to the second floor and came to a room outside.

"This is where my family worships the ancestral tablets. Ancestor Zhongkang is inside."

He said as if introducing, and then knocked on the door gently.

"Ancestor Zhongkang, I'm back."

The room was silent for a moment, and then a vigorous voice came out: "Come in."

Although the voice could not hide the old age and decay, it was sonorous and powerful, worthy of a swordsman who once fought against a hundred people alone.

Crash!

The door was pushed open, and the Japanese-style room was very dark. It was not until Arima Norimune turned on the light that it became bright.

There was a shrine on the main seat on the right side of the Japanese-style room. In front of the shrine were a sword rack and a broken samurai sword, as well as a well-maintained but rusty tattered armor.
