I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 299 The old fox doesn't seem that old

"Higashino-kun, Sanae, just like at home, don't be restrained. Jing, treat the guests well!"

Jinguji Xizi knelt alone in the main hall, smiling and waving at Higashino Yu and others who left.

Higashino Yu and others then bid farewell to Madam Jinguji and left the main hall. Kaori Shiori, who had been waiting in the ferry hall for a long time, came up.

"Higashino Nisan, how is it, did those annoying people inside embarrass you?"

"A bunch of clowns, for your sake, I won't bother with them."

Higashino Yu smiled and touched the heads of the two girls, and Jinguji Hiiragi Jing asked softly.

"Where do you want to visit first?"

"What?"

Ashimi Sanae was stunned for a second, her expression confused, as if she had just been distracted. When Jinguji Hiiragi Jing repeated it, she quickly restored the noble aura of the Moon Witch.

"This princess has been to the Star Realm Palace and witnessed the heat death of countless universes. Although this place has some memories of the past, compared to this, since this is the first time for His Excellency the Knight to come here, I will allow him to make the decision."

Let me decide? Higashino Yu pointed at himself.

"Higashino Nisan, let's go to the courtyard! You can fish for goldfish!" Kaori raised her hand and suggested loudly, standing on her white socks.

Shiori pressed her sister's head: "Higashino Nisan, let's go to the bedroom! You can take a nap!"

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami suppressed the two people with a knife with his hand expressionlessly.

None of the two's suggestions were reliable, so Higashino Yu naturally did not accept them. After thinking for two seconds, to be honest, he had no interest in the Jinguji family.

A large family squeezed together, under the same roof, and had to abide by various etiquette. The atmosphere was so depressing that it was tiring to think about it. It didn't seem like living, but like working.

I was somewhat interested in this space itself, but this was not an area I could reach now.

Except for the building itself and the beautiful girl's boudoir - wait, the beautiful girl's boudoir is crossed out.

This is what the inner demon wants to see, not what I want to see. Dong Yeyu told himself this, and he felt at ease immediately. Whatever the inner demon does is understandable.

"Is there a place like a library?" Dong Yeyu asked.

"I thought about borrowing various magic books, legends of monsters and gods from the Jinguji family before, but I never had the time to come. Why are you looking at me like this?"

Jinguji Hiiragi Jing looked calm, and his eyes as quiet as the night saw through his thoughts in an instant.

She reminded him, "There is no in-depth information related to Mount Oe in the study. The relevant books are taboos in the Jinguji family and have been sealed up."

Higashino Yu shook his head helplessly and answered seriously, "You and Mr. Jinguji's previous dissuasion have made me understand that the demons of Mount Oe are indeed not something that one person can defeat. I am not stupid, so why would I come here to seek death? Don't worry."

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami met his sincere eyes and turned around helplessly, ". Follow me."

Kaori pulled Higashino Yu's clothes and walked forward with a bit of frustration: "What, go to the study again."

Shiori pulled the other side, her fair and cute face full of fatigue: "Higashino Nisan, we got up early today to prepare, and we didn't have time to rest. Lack of sleep will not grow up."

Higashino Yu felt guilty for exploiting underage girls.

Looking at the two people's exquisite and beautiful girl-style buns and various gold and silver pendants on them, wearing complicated and elegant kimonos, it probably took a lot of time to prepare.

"Why don't you let Kaori Shiori go back to her room to rest? At least change clothes first. This kimono looks hard to wear. We are all familiar friends, so there is no need to be so formal."

Higashino Yu suggested.

Upon hearing this, Kaori Shiori turned her head to look at her cousin, holding her small hands on her chest with a hopeful look.

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami turned back and looked at Higashino Yu seriously and said, "You have spoiled them like this. If they can't get married in the future, or if they are considered rude by others at their husband's house and are criticized by their husband's family, and their marriage is not smooth, it will be your responsibility."

"With me here, who dares to make a fuss? It's time to change these clichéd rules. It's the 21st century and they are still playing with feudalism. They don't even require running into socialism. Can we try some backward capitalism first?"

Higashino Yu has always been unhappy with the repressive, twisted and lifeless society of the island country, as if everyone is under a heavy yoke.

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami did not refute Higashino Yu's words. If he wanted, he could indeed make Kaori Shiori have a very good home.

"That's right!"

Like a slave being liberated, Kaori Shiori cheered on the spot, jumped up and pecked Higashino Yu on both sides of the face, took small steps and ran away, the small pillow behind her shook cutely, and disappeared at the corner of the corridor.

Then, the cute little faces with princess hairstyles like a pair of zashiki-warashi appeared from the corner again, making faces at Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami.

"Stupid cousin, we don't want to marry anyone else."

The weather in Gion is always clear and the wind is gentle, but because the sun, moon and stars are the same as the outside world, there are seasonal changes, and it is not always spring in March.

The heat in Gion was unbearable at this time. The world outside the shadows of the corridors and pavilions was blazing white, as if a hazy filter was covering the eyes. The sun was baking the ground, and none of the delicate copper bells hanging in the corners of the eaves rang, as if no wind was willing to visit this land.

"Hiiragi, why don't you prepare some formations in Gion to cool off the heat? It would be better to build some formations to summon the breeze."

Jinguji Hiiragi, who was walking in front, made regular movements, and the distance of each step was exactly the same. Even though she was wearing a thick kimono, her fair little face did not change at all. She seemed not to feel the heat.

"The elders in the family believe that the hot summer and cold winter can temper people's will. If you spend your energy on enjoyment, sooner or later you will be destroyed because of your indulgence in enjoyment. Therefore, you are not allowed to use spells and formations to enjoy yourself."

Higashi Yeyu: ".Your home doesn't even have air conditioning, right?"

"No."

I finally know why those two girls, Kaori Shiori, have been looking sad all day long. Higashino Yu wiped his sweat. If he were reborn in such a home, he would see his mother again in less than three days and sail away tonight.

The three of them were walking leisurely on the corridor chatting. There was a dojo on the opposite side dozens of steps away. In the dojo, there were many young demon slayers who were practicing their own practices. Gentle shouts came from there.

Some people even ran to expose themselves in the sun. Everyone was immersed in their own world. Soon someone noticed Higashino Yu and his group. First, a few people pointed at them, and then most people looked at them.

oh! Coming? Higashino Yu took off his suit and started gearing up. According to ordinary novels, it was about to be a show-off scene.

But the imagined challenge did not happen. I even looked here for a while and started my own practice.

"Why don't they come to invite a fight?"

Dong Yeyu leaned out of the corridor fence, built a pergola with his hands and looked over there. He had been slightly troubled by the main hall just now, and he thought someone would come to trouble him soon.

"Have the demon slayers of the Jinguji family lost their confidence?"

"Although they are arrogant, they are not stupid." Jinguji Hiiragi, who was walking in front, said in a calm voice, dispelling some of the midsummer heat.

"Even if you win, it will be considered as uneducated and rude behavior, not to mention there is no chance of winning."

Tomorrow saw Sanae nodded in agreement: "No normal person would do such a stupid thing as challenging the Moon Witch Guard Knight."

Dong Yeyu shook his head: "If a practitioner is deterred by the high mountains and long roads, then his achievements in this life will only be this. No matter how terrible the opponent is, he cannot lose his will to fight."

"What's more, when a genius like me comes to the world, no one wants to ask for advice or learn something from me. Even if they want to, they dare not come forward because they are afraid of losing face. This is the real stupidity."

"I still appreciate Hiiragi Kyung who keeps fighting despite repeated defeats."

Jinguji Hiiragi glanced at him. Although he seemed to be bragging, he had nothing to say.

In the past few months, she would come to Dong Yeyu to compete every short period of time. Whether it was swordsmanship, spells or spiritual thoughts, only swordsmanship could win at the beginning, and spells were crushed without exception.

After Jade Dragon Banner, my swordsmanship may not be as good as his.

However, Ayu may be an old fox who has lived for hundreds of years, and it is normal for him to be inferior to him.

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

Jinguji Hiiragi pondered in his heart, but then he had some doubts. Is the progress in the past few months just a show, for others to see?

Thinking of this, she glanced at Dongyeyu, trying to see the decay of time in his expression. Dongyeyu didn't understand why she was staring at her, so she also looked back.

The two looked at each other for a long time. Jinguji Hiiragi felt that the old fox in front of him seemed not as old as he imagined. He was always accompanied by curiosity and sincerity.

At this moment, Sanae's bright blond hair appeared in the field of vision of the two of them. She stood in the middle of their field of vision to separate them, and slightly raised her face: "Why are you two so stupid?"

Jinguji Hiiragi came to his senses and continued to lead the way, feeling strange in his heart.

The three of them came to a room and outside,

"This is the study."

Pushing the door open, you will find a large room inside, with a strong aroma of ink mixed with the smell of mothballs that cannot be ignored.

The space is divided into two parts. One side is the book collection area. Rows of bookshelves full of ancient style stand on them, and countless classics that condense the wisdom of the past are displayed on them.

The sunlight from the outside shines in through the glass windows, and the fairy dust dances in them. The atmosphere gives people a very leisurely and slow-paced feeling.

The other side is similar to a public reading area, with about seven or eight seats. There are tables, chairs, four treasures of the study, and papers for free use.

However, no one seems to be here to borrow books at this time, so there are only three people including Higashi Yeyu in the huge library.

After entering the study room, Tomorrow saw Sanae looking dazed for a moment. She walked slowly towards the book collection area, picked up a book and flipped through it. She seemed to be attracted by these classics recording monsters.

"You can choose which books you want to borrow, but remember not to damage them." Jinguji Hiiragi reminded him and walked into the bookshelves.

Dong Yeyu looked at the time and saw that there was still an hour or two before noon. There was still a long time left, so he started to choose from classics such as formations.

Then he wandered around the bookshelf over the spells and spells for a while, moved a bunch of books and placed them on the table in the reading area.

Finally, I rummaged through the Youkai History section with slim hope, and sure enough I found only superficial records about Oeyama, Shuten Doji and other monsters.

"Can you finish reading so much? Be careful of biting off more than you can chew——"

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami stopped talking halfway when he remembered that he was a monster, and then looked up at Asumi Sanae in the distance.

Judging that they were probably too far to hear, he then quietly sat opposite Higashino Yu and asked, "Is this why you saved me? To learn human magic."

"Yes, there is actually another reason."

Higashino Yu nodded seriously, "A thousand years ago, you were a woodcutter and saved my life. I waited for a thousand years for a chance to repay you. It just so happens that you were born in a demon exorcist family in this life. After repaying you, you can learn human magic by the way to resist the invading Decepticon Legion."

Listening to the fox's nonsense, the girl rolled her eyes at him and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

She sat opposite and began to read the book seriously.

Higashino Yu glanced at the cover of the book. Military book, what is that?

Standing up and stretching his neck, he came to the girl's side without any sense of boundaries to read together, and found that it was a book about how to sacrifice and refine magic tools. Does this have anything to do with military books?

Jinguji Hiiragi pressed his head and pushed him away a little: "Do you want to read this book?"

"No, I'm just curious." Higashino Yu smiled awkwardly and retreated, and the girl was immersed in the world of books again.

Seeing that she didn't seem to want to chat, Higashino Yu rolled her eyes. This won't work. How can I convince her to help me check the matter of Oeyama without chatting, and she hasn't made a clear statement about whether she is a monster.

"Ahem." Higashino Yu coughed, and Jinguji Hiiragi looked up with a puzzled look.

Higashino Yu whispered: "So what do you think, Hiiragi? About me."

Jinguji Hiiragi seemed not to hear it, lowered his eyebrows, and his eyes fell on the book again.

"Are you scared?" She said softly.

"Yeah." Higashino Yu looked calm: "I'm afraid we can no longer be friends."

"After a lie, trust completely collapsed, and naturally we can no longer be friends. After I repay the favor I owe you, we will-"

"Lie? I didn't lie to you. I just concealed some truths appropriately, but I never lied-"

Jinguji Hiiragi Jing looked up at him, never?

"White lies don't count." Higashino Yu compensated.

Jinguji Hiiragi Jing didn't intend to dwell on this point, and asked in a cold voice: "What is your purpose in mixing into the world? Can you tell me the truth?"

"What purpose?" Higashino Yu thought about it, and counted on his fingers: "Buy a house, buy a car, improve the quality of life and then make a lot of money, subsidize Sunshine Garden to avoid bankruptcy, and then repay some benefactors."

Are you a fox or a social animal? Jinguji Hiiragi Jing looked at Higashino Yu a little strangely, and then listened to him talk about the last part, with a puzzled look: "Repay a favor?"
