I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

But these have nothing to do with me.

Unless Jinguji Hiiragi comes to ask for help, Higashino Yu is not prepared to get involved in the Jinguji family's family affairs.

So he smiled kindly at everyone. Summer flowers were in full bloom in the courtyard in front of the temple, and the shikigami used as servants in the house had just been watered. At this time, they were shining in the sunlight, matching the young man's elf-like appearance and A modest and courteous attitude gives people the comfort of a gentle breeze in March.

Even some hostile demon slayers couldn't help but be startled, and then cursed in their hearts, can't this kid know how to read the air?

Jinguji Kiko, who was sitting behind Jinguji Nobuyoshi, gently raised her folding fan to cover her face. With crooked eyebrows, she glanced at her daughter who seemed to have nothing to do with her. She came closer and whispered, "My maid at home." I just happened to be on sick leave. Could you please serve Higashino-kun some tea?"

Jinguji Hiiragi looked back calmly and saw that his mother was just smiling, so he had no choice but to get up and leave.

Jinguji Nobuyoshi continued.

"So I thought that I must let Mr. Higashino come to my Jinguji house as a guest, so that I can show my friendship as a landlord. It happened that last night Mr. Higashino discovered signs of a gathering of demons in Hegui Mountain, and promptly reported it, and I and many After contacting my colleagues, we decided to attack together and came back with a great victory.”

"Higashino-kun killed the fallen angel who returned to the mountain and colluded with the demons. He has already called Izumo Taisha Shrine regarding the matter. I believe the gods of Kunitsu can understand. He was invited here this time to discuss how to deal with the fallen angel. remains."

"Disposal?"

The demon slayers who were kneeling opposite Higashi Yeyu frowned. A burly middle-aged man looked at Jinguji Xinyi: "Master, such a move——"

Jinguji Nobuyoshi interrupted him: "After all, it's Higashino-kun who is killing him. No matter what, we have to ask for his opinion."

Logically speaking, the remains of the gods are useful all over the body, but the demon god is weak in power, and even the magic weapon was refined by his own real feathers. There was nothing good after inspection at the time, and he was a pauper.

At that time, I helped Hanako fulfill her wish, so I didn't care about the remains. With people from the Jinguji family here, no one would dare to be greedy.

Listening to him talk about how to dispose of it, Higashino Yu thought for two seconds: "I wonder, Mr. Jinguji, how did you dispose of such fallen angel remains in the past?"

Jinguji Nobuyoshi smiled: "This example is rare, but my ancestors have encountered this situation. At that time, the remains were handed over to Izumo Taisha Shrine to be purified by the gods of the nations."

"For one thing, the obsession with the fall of the fallen angel is too deep. This can prevent demons from being born on the corpse of the god and harming the common people."

Nonsense, what kind of resentment can survive the mana sacrifice? If that doesn't work, the entire demon selling market will be handled by professionals, and that's a lot of money.

Higashinoyu looked confused, and then Jinguji Xinyi revealed the second reason.

"Secondly, all the earthly gods of mountains, rivers and rivers in the island country are canonized by the Great Lord. Mortals can crusade against the Fallen Angels, but it is best not to desecrate the remains of the Fallen Angels. Otherwise, they may incur the hostility of some Kunjin gods, and the gain outweighs the losses."

After Jinguji Xinyi explained, he looked at Higashino Yu calmly.

As the head of a big family, he has a lot to think about. Although it is common sense to do this, it is the common sense of a demon slayer after all, and Higashino Yu may not be aware of it as he is alone in his family.

If the Jinguji family took it upon themselves to submit the crane to Izumo Grand Shrine, he might suspect that the Jinguji family had embezzled the crane.

In addition, there are many people in the family because the head of the family only has one daughter and it is not clear who will be the next head of the family, so their thoughts begin to wander.

Under the influence of many factors, if one thing is not done well, the relationship between the two parties may have problems.

"Is this so"

Dong Yeyu did not hesitate for too long. He had already offended the demons of Dajiangshan. If he offended the God of Guojin again, would he still be alive?

"I'll just do as you say. I'm really troubling you."

Seeing that he was quite reasonable, Jinguji Xinyi smiled and nodded. He was brave and generous, but his intelligence was a little bit worse than what I was back then.

"It doesn't matter. If my family submits it, the gods will probably favor the Jinguji family more. It's some benefit and it's not in vain. Don't worry about it, Mr. Higashino."

At this time, an old woman wearing glasses who was kneeling opposite asked, "Did Mr. Higashino obtain any magic weapons or treasures when he killed the fallen angel?"

She looks like she has chicken skin and black hair, some age spots on her face, high cheekbones, and sharp eyes. Although she looks a lot more kind as she gets older, she can still give people a mean feeling.

"Your Excellency?"

"I'm Haruka Sano."

Jinguji Xinyi glanced at the old lady, and his smile gradually faded away, but there was nothing he could do. The old lady was older and had a higher status, and she was speaking for the Jinguji family, so there was no reason not to scold her.

"It turns out to be Mrs. Sano. She did get a few treasures." Dong Yeyu nodded.

Mrs. Sano asked again: "As far as I know, Mr. Tono fell into a trap last night because he underestimated the enemy and acted alone. If Ajing and Shikigami hadn't sacrificed their lives to help, I'm afraid it would have been difficult to escape, right?"

Without Hiiragi Mirror, I might have suffered more injuries. The wound on my upper jaw has not completely healed yet, and it is as uncomfortable as a mouth ulcer.

Therefore, Higashino Yu did not object to this statement: "Without Miss Jinguji's help, there may indeed be more injuries."

Mrs. Sano nodded: "That god's treasure——"

Higashino Yu interrupted her with a smile, "I have already assigned it to Miss Jinguji, so I don't need Mrs. Sano to worry about it."

"you--"

Dong Yeyu ignored her and looked at Jinguji Xinyi.

"Mr. Jinguji, do these treasures also need to be returned to Shiyun Taisha?"

"That's not necessary. After all, in the final analysis, it should be the responsibility of the gods to defeat the fallen angels. Now it's up to us mortals to do it for us. We have to give you some compensation no matter what. Please feel free to keep it for use."

After Jinguji Xinyi said this, Jinguji Hiiragi came up with a complete set of tea sets.

"I'm sorry."

She said softly, without looking at Dong Yeyu, but knelt down beside him and poured him a cup of tea with flowing tea ceremony movements.

"Tea, please." She held the cup with both hands and handed it to Dong Yeyu.

The temperature of the tea in the cup is no longer ready for consumption after a series of tea ceremony actions for viewing purposes. The elegant tea aroma is mixed with the fragrant fragrance of a girl, giving it a unique taste.

The two people's eyes touched in the air for a moment. Jinguji Hiiragi lowered his eyebrows and pursed his lips tightly. Higashino Yu couldn't let others keep holding him like this.

"Thanks."

He took the tea cup and drank it dry in a very indecent manner, "It tastes good."

I could see the demon slayers across from me frowning, where did they come from?

After finishing the serious chat, we chatted for a while about other random things, which were not nutritious.

Just saying something like welcoming Higashino Yu to visit the Jinguji family more often in the future and teaching the younger generation of the Jinguji family made the demon slayers who were kneeling here disperse.

This time was originally for him to meet with everyone in the Jinguji family and see the attitudes of all parties. Generally speaking, Jinguji Xinyi was a little dissatisfied with some of the elders of the family.

"Made Tono-kun laugh."

After they left, Jinguji Nobuyoshi showed an apologetic smile to Higashino Yu and bowed slightly: "As the family business gets bigger, it will be less easy to control and the voices will become louder. Please don't take what Mrs. Sano said just now. ”

Dong Yeyu quickly returned the gift.

"Mr. Jinguji, you are too worried. If Hiiragi and you hadn't worked hard to save me last night, it would have been very difficult for me and the shikigami to fight against those monsters on my own. We would have had to go through a life-and-death battle."

Last time we were Jinguji's classmates, but this time it's Hiiragi?

Jinguji Xinyi noticed the change of title, looked at his daughter, and then at Higashino Yu.

His expression was complicated for a moment, and he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

As Higashino Yu spoke, he bowed slightly to the beautiful woman kneeling behind Xinyi in Jinguji Temple: "Aunt Xiko, I haven't seen you for a long time, but your style remains the same."

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Mrs. Jinguji smiled and nodded: "My Hiiragi has become better and better thanks to your care these days. I think this is the Akatsuki Akira, right?"

"You're flattered. Hiiragi is a girl with extremely outstanding talents, whether in study, practice or swordsmanship."

After some polite compliments, Jinguji Nobuyoshi thought for two seconds and asked, "I wonder how Higashino-kun heard about Oeyama?"

Dong Yeyu thought for a while and told about the previous killing of Cang Yu and the subsequent incidents of demons coming to his door one after another.

"According to what the porcupine monster said, if what he said is true, Shuten Doji broke away from the seal decades ago, and the great country also reappeared."

"It's been such a troubled time." Jinguji Xinyi frowned.

Seeing that he seemed to know something about Dajiangshan, Dongyeyu asked, "Do you know anything about Dajiangshan?"

"After Shuten-douji was sealed, Ibaraki-douji took control of Oeyama. Although his power was greatly reduced, he did not disappear. The ancestors once obtained the position of Oeyama and wanted to complete the battle. While Shuten-douji was sealed, he completely killed the Oesan group. Monster, as a result, the Jinguji family suffered heavy casualties. If they had not hid in Gion, a gift from the gods, they would have..."

When Jinguji Xinyi said this, he was speechless about his ancestors. Why would you provoke them if it's nothing?

"oh?"

Higashi Yeyu's eyes lit up. If he could get into the big country, when the Shuten boy held a banquet, a wave of Minamoto no Yoriguang would appear again.

Thinking about it carefully, this plan is quite feasible. With the Chunyang Sword in hand, when the time comes, I will kill Shuten-douji first, and then Ibaraki-douji. After a few blows with the sword, there will probably be no demon left that can stand up.

But one sword must be left for Kuzuryu Gongen.

Higashino Yu thought of this and asked: "I wonder if the Jinguji family has any other way to find the location of Dajiangshan?"

Jinguji Nobuyoshi was stunned for a second and looked at the young man in front of him: "Higashino-kun, I would like to ask, what do you want to do?"

"It is said that Shuten-dōji has a narrow temper and will retaliate. Judging from the situation below, it is probably true. Since you have already offended, there is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days, so——"

"So you want to come and apologize?"

Dong Yeyu shook his head: "I want to see if I can kill him."

"no!"

Before Jinguji Xinyi could say anything, Jinguji Hiiragi coldly denied Higashino Yu's words, "You are no match for them. Even if you can find Dajiangshan, you will never come back."

Jinguji Xinyi also advised: "Higashino-kun, what A Jing said makes sense."

"That Shuten-douji has an extraordinary origin, and no one among us demon slayers can defeat him. Back then, before Shuten-douji was out of trouble, only Ibaraki-douji and the four ghost kings severely damaged our Jinguji family. Now that the ghost king is out of trouble, those demons must be More difficult to deal with."

"This matter should be discussed in a long-term manner. There is no need to rush. I will report it to Izumo Taisha Shrine first and see how the Kunitsu Gods react."

Higashino Yu frowned in thought. It seemed that Jinguji Xinyi would not tell him the location of Dajiangshan, and it was difficult for him to tell them that he had a box of weapons. It seemed that the only way to find a breakthrough was at Hiiragi Mirror.

Jinguji Xizi saw that he looked worried and thought he was worried about demons, so she said softly with concern: "Demons are vicious, why don't you move to Gion for a few days to avoid them?"

Higashino Yu declined and told them that he was now living in Inari Shrine.

Jinguji Xizi felt a little regretful when she heard this, "If it was a shrine, it would be safe."

"Higashino, don't worry, this matter is of great importance, and there will be news soon." Jinguji Xinyi comforted.

Higashino Yu said yes repeatedly on the surface, but in her heart she was already thinking about how to ask Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami to let her steal relevant information for her.

After chatting for a while, Jinguji Hiiragi left for a while, and then came back, as if she just remembered Asumi Sanae who had been waiting outside the ferry hall for half a day, and said to her father: "The eldest daughter of the Asumi family has come to visit you."

"Oh? Is Sanae here too? When did she come? With Higashino-kun."

Jinguji Nobuyoshi remembered that he had heard from Kaori Shiori before, and Higashino-kun seemed to be familiar with that child.

This kid. Jinguji Nobuyoshi narrowed his eyes and stared at Higashino Yu for a long time.

"It is not a good way to treat guests to wait for a long time, please let her in."

Jinguji Hiiragi then took small steps to open the door of the hall. Asumi Sanae, wearing a light blue and white knee-length skirt, appeared at the door. Led by Kaori Shiori, she walked into the main hall, greeted Jinguji Nobuyoshi and his wife, and then knelt down very naturally next to Higashino Yu.

Completely different from her usual middle school and noble appearance, she seemed to have changed a lot in front of her. Her expression was gentle, and her etiquette was very consistent with the habits of the islanders.

She just smiled back at Higashino Yu's strange look, and even adjusted his suit and tie.

Higashino Yu was so scared that he froze on the spot. Is this Asumi Sanae?

Jinguji Xizi noticed the familiarity between the two and looked at her daughter in surprise, but saw that she was just kneeling behind her husband, lowering her eyebrows and eyes, and didn't seem to react.

As Jinguji Hiiragi's mother, she saw what her daughter was thinking at a glance, and was speechless for a moment. What kind of etiquette was really learned? How could she be humble in such a matter of feelings?

She looked at her husband and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Of course, there were guests present, so she couldn't say much.

Asumi Sanae's visit was just a normal etiquette visit, and it was more to accompany Higashino Yu, so it didn't take much time.

After the visit, Jinguji Nobuyoshi was anxious to report the matter of Shuten-doji, so he asked Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami to take the two of them to play around Jinguji's house, while he hurriedly disappeared around the corner of the corridor.
