I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Kaori and Shiori surrounded Higashino Yu on the left and right.

Shiori held up her fair and pink face with her left hand, reached for a piece of strawberry daifuku from the dessert plate on the table, and stuffed it into her mouth. It was as bulging as a hamster, and asked in a vague voice: "Is it the dessert kitchen?"

"no."

"Is it the makeup room?" Kaori was looking at herself in a small mirror.

"No, it's just a simple coffee shop project."

"The cafe is also good, Higashino Nissan, can we go check it out then?"

"If you both practice hard these days, I can consider it."

Higashino Yu, who was sitting next to the kotatsu, smiled and replied that Miss Moon Witch would definitely take action anyway, so there was no need to worry about social death.

"Yeah!"

The two girls cheered, but Shiori did not stop eating snacks, while Kaori quietly opened a volume of fashion magazines.

Dong Yeyu was speechless: "Didn't you agree to practice hard?"

"This is called a balance between work and rest." Shiori kept stuffing snacks into her mouth like Jerry at the dinner table. She couldn't eat so fiercely at home when her mother and aunt were in charge.

"My sister and I have already worked hard when we woke up in the morning. Higashino-san, can you let us rest for a few minutes before practicing?"

Kaori held Higashino Yu's arm and shook it. She opened her crystal eyes and begged in a soft voice.

"I can't make the decision." Dong Yeyu shrugged.

Jinguji Hiiragi seemed to have lost his mind at this time. He raised his head slightly, his calm gaze fell on the two girls, and his tone was calm and did not allow for refutation: "Before two o'clock in the afternoon, write down a hundred Chinese characters silently."

Seize, seize less? Shizhi's eyes widened when he heard this, and his bulging mouth opened slightly, revealing the crumbs of biscuits that had not been swallowed.

One hundred! Kaori weakly leaned on Higashino Yu's arm.

Miko, who was sitting sideways on Higashino Yu's left hand, gently raised her eyes to the two sisters who were leaning on Higashino Yu as if their bones had been ripped out. She pursed her lips slightly and practiced Chinese characters with heavier strokes.

Snap!

A branch was blown to the balcony by the wind. Miss Moon Witch, who was furiously transcribing spells in the Moon Witch's Notes, put down her pen a little tiredly, stretched out, her eyes fell on the branch on the balcony, and sighed softly: " The fate of the land of night is like this dead branch."

Hearing this, Dong Yeyu subconsciously raised his head and looked out the window.

It was clearly an early summer morning, but the temperature was only a few degrees, and the gloomy sky was covered with dark clouds, as if it was about to collapse.

The strong wind continued, and the cherry blossom tree planted in the yard swayed exaggeratedly, making people worry that it would break at the waist in the next second. Sporadic raindrops swept by the wind wiped slanting water marks on the floor-to-ceiling window glass.

However, through the glass, both the thunder and the howling of the wind seemed muffled. The lighting in the room tended to be warm in color. Staying in the warm kotatsu, surrounded by sweet-smelling girls, gave me a warm feeling of security. feel.

The news said that this kind of weather was due to some kind of low pressure, but Jinguji Hiiragi revealed that it seemed to be related to monsters.

Dong Yeyu wanted to ask if there was any money to be made, but the reply she got was that she didn't know the specific situation. There was no official announcement about commissioning or recruiting demon slayers.

Thinking about it, those who can affect the weather in half of the island country are either gods or monsters, and ordinary people cannot intervene.

Therefore, Dong Yeyu regarded this as a normal weather change. Anyway, if the sky fell, there would be tall people to support it.

"But as long as His Highness is here, everything will be fine."

Higashino Yu never misses any opportunity to praise Moon Witch, which may mean that Fukuzawa Yukichi, although he is not short of money now, this mentality of being prepared for danger in times of peace is particularly important when he is unemployed.

"The premise is that Your Excellency the Knight firmly follows the light of the Mirror Moon."

Tomorrow saw Sanae look at her with approval, and then continued to excerpt at the desk.

Kaori Shiori lowered her head and suppressed laughter. This was not the first time they heard this kind of strange conversation, but every time they saw them talking nonsense seriously, they couldn't help but laugh.

Only Miko had an unknown sadness in her heart, and she secretly vowed to make a million dollars to save Higashino Nissan from this chuunibyou woman.

"The news said there was a storm today." Jinguji Hiiragi looked at his phone and frowned slightly, thinking that he might go back early in the afternoon.

"It's raining so hard, can we not go home today?" Kaori Shiori cheered up.

"no!"

Miko and Jinguji Hiiragi said at the same time. As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room was silent for a few seconds. Kaori Shiori's eyes fell on Miko and blinked: "Miko, why don't we play together in the evening?"

Even Jinguji Hiiragi was a little surprised. In her impression, this girl who was taciturn and often distracted had a gentle temperament, and even her words had an ethereal charm. This was the first time she saw her anxious eyes.

Miko realized that her reaction was a bit fierce, her expression returned to calm, and she said softly: "There are not enough rooms in Higashino Nissan's house."

Shizhi counted the numbers on her fingers: "That's enough, and my sister's house is right next to me when I see her tomorrow—"

"Then why don't you stay at Miss Tomorrow's house?"

"It will rain when you walk over." Kaori said in a soft and sweet voice.

"But the Jinguji family is a big family, and Kaori Shiori is already a grown-up girl. Living in Higashino-Nissan's house is not good for you or Higashino-Nissan. Higashino-Nissan is a very responsible person, if it's because of him He will be very sad if Kaori Shiori’s reputation is damaged.”

Miko explained seriously, with a sincere expression.

Shiori was somewhat touched: "Miko, you are so thoughtful."

Stupid sister, she is just afraid that we will snatch away Higashino Nissan. Kaori curled her lips, looked carefully at Miko who was writing down the words seriously, and snorted in her heart, Miko is a stingy person.

After getting permission, Asumi Sanae kept copying the spells of the Jinguji family and the Iori family in the Moon Witch's Record like a squirrel, and she didn't even have time to look away from the record.

"The Moon Witch's Palace will not reject those who follow the moonlight. The Rose Hall can provide you with a safe haven from the storm." She said softly.

Higashino Castle should be pure and flawless, and only exists to wait for the enlightenment light of the mirror moon.

"Then should we live in Asumi sister's house?" Shiori looked at her cousin.

Well, Asumi sister's house seems to be very close to Higashino Nissan's house.

Kaori lay on the floor, sticking her butt out and looking at the balcony of the mansion opposite, thinking.

If it is really a storm, it is indeed difficult to go home. Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: "If the rain is really heavy, you can stay at Sanae's house."

Ah? Are you already considering whose house to stay at?

Dongye Yu was a little surprised at the discussion point of several people. Shouldn't he consider what to eat at noon at this time? There is no food at home, not to mention instant noodles. There are some discounted bento in the refrigerator, but it is obviously a bit shabby to use this to entertain Kaori and others.

But in the current weather, it is obviously unrealistic to go out to buy vegetables. The vegetable market should be closed.

Speaking of which, the weather in the past two days is also strange. It is obviously mid-to-late June, but the temperature suddenly dropped to a few degrees, just like winter.

This is also the reason why several people sit around the kotatsu in summer.

Of course, part of the reason is that the electricity bill in Tokyo is frighteningly expensive. Dongye Yu is reluctant to turn on the air conditioner. In addition, there are many people and there is no suitable table at home, so he took out the kotatsu that he bought at a discount in the electrical market not long ago.

"What do you want to eat at noon?" Dongye Yu asked.

"Mousse cake!" Shiori immediately raised her hand and loudly expressed her request.

Kaori was furious. She didn't expect her sister to be a heretic who ate desserts for dinner. She immediately refuted: "No, eat ramen!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Higashino Yu persuaded them with a headache.

"The court chefs of the Rose Hall will prepare delicious meals and send them over. If you want to eat anything, you can tell me and I will let them make it." Asumi Sanae's voice was like an angel descending from the sky.

Great, no need to eat discounted bento! Higashino Yu said slightly reservedly: "This is really too much trouble for those chefs. Can you make kabayaki eel?"

After everyone in the room ordered their meals, it became quiet again. There was only the whistling wind outside and the occasional thunder. This time, even Kaori and Shiori began to really learn.

Higashino Yu sat by the kotatsu and began to look through the materials about alchemy that he downloaded and printed from the Internet in Shenzhou.

However, the things that can be circulated on the Internet are either incomplete or simply fabricated. After searching for a long time, I printed them out and found that there was no useful information at all.

This situation of no way in made Dong Yeyu feel helpless. He put down the useless information in his hand and looked at Yu Zi.

At this time, she was kneeling on her right side and flipping through the Shenzhou dictionary she bought to learn more Chinese characters. As for the Qingjing Jing, she had already memorized it by heart, and could use it to skillfully enter the state of sitting and forgetting.

But because of her physical condition - the meridians of the half of her body that was disabled before had problems. Not only could she not store the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but even the Qi from her own refining of essence and Qi would slowly disappear.

In this way, her own essence and Qi were not enough to support the process of building the foundation.

Not only was the road of refining essence into Qi slow, but she herself began to become more and more haggard because she could not feed back herself through cultivation.

Compared with Miss Moon Witch, who had more than two months left to build a preliminary foundation, Yu Zi's foundation building seemed far away, so she was a little depressed these days.

Dong Yeyu looked quite distressed and was trying to learn alchemy, even if it was just the entry-level level. He bought enough spiritual materials from the demon market, and with the pestle, he could at least ensure that Yuzi's body would not get worse as she practiced.

However, even the very basic knowledge of alchemy was probably monopolized by the practitioners in Shenzhou.

Dong Yeyu pondered for a moment, maybe Yuanjun could get it?

As the former Dragon Princess and now the Water God of Hishizawa, wouldn't it be easy to get some alchemy recipes?

Why not take advantage of the short vacation after the cultural festival to go to Taoxiang.

A week passed quickly, and in just two weeks, Dong Yeyu basically mastered all the techniques of Tianlan Yidaoliu, leaving only Wuxiang Sword and Dream Sword that had not been used.

According to Arima Shifan, it was because the foundation was not solid enough.

Wuxiang Sword looks very high-end, but in fact, it is meant to enter a state similar to Zuowang during the battle, abandon all interference, fight instinctively, and exert unimaginable strength and reaction.

As for the dream sword, it involves the understanding and comprehension of Tao, which is an extraordinary swordsmanship that exists in theory, and even Arima Tadayoshi himself does not know it.

After teaching the Sky Blue Sword Style to Higashino Yu, Arima Tadayoshi fell into a deep sleep more and more often, and the intervals became shorter and shorter, whether because his obsession was constantly being fulfilled or because his soul was really exhausted.

He often sat alone in the Japanese-style room and muttered to himself, and it seemed that he still had not remembered what the important thing was.

Higashino Yu tried to transfer his magic power to maintain his status as a swordsman, but to little avail.

Before Higashino Yu could think of a way to help Arima Tadayoshi, the Tachibana Cultural Festival officially began after several days of preparation.

At 8 a.m. on Saturday, the Tachibana Cultural Festival was officially held in the auditorium under the organization of the Student Union, opening the gate of the Tachibana campus and unveiling a corner of this legendary high school to the outside world.

Class B of Grade 1 also opened a door to the classroom, showing the long-prepared cafe and a group of high school boys dressed as butlers to attract customers. The tables and chairs were all rented from outside and were placed in a staggered manner. The lighting also replaced the bright cold light in the classroom with a chandelier full of atmosphere.

The sunlight outside the window was completely blocked by heavy curtains, and the indoor lighting was all provided by atmosphere lights, and even some sound insulation was done, making the guests who entered the cafe feel as if they had really come to a cafe.

The sign was written in cursive English, meaning time, and there was a simple drawing of the cafe logo next to it.

Yuki Wada, dressed as a coffee shop assistant, wore a brown apron and looked around. After two weeks of simulation training, the students in Class B of Grade 1 have basically acquired the skills of coffee shop assistants and waiters and can go to work at any time.

She didn't say anything else, just bowed deeply: "Let's prepare to start business now. The revenue of the past two days is related to our future class expenses. Please help!"

"Okay!"

The boys dressed as male butlers responded enthusiastically. After wearing butler uniforms for two weeks, it seems that most of them have completed the transformation from social phobia to social heroes.

"Higashino, have you thought of how to help ancestor Zhongkang fulfill his wish?"

Arima Norimune was a little dazed. Arima Zhongkang's poor condition in the past two days made him very worried that he would suddenly not see the ancestor who called himself the sword saint when he returned home one day.

"The key is to make Shifan remember what he has forgotten."

"What if the ancestor Zhongkang hasn't remembered it yet..."

Dongye Yu comforted: "Don't worry, Shifan's soul is very tough, and it is protected by the spirit sword. It is not as fragile as you think."

At this time, a fashionable girl was looking around, her eyes swept across the classroom decorated as a cafe, and finally fixed on Dongye Yu, with obvious surprise in her eyes.
