I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Asuki Mitsuko stared at the screen of her mobile phone. After seeing the reply, she snorted and typed a few words and sent it over.

At the same time, Higashino Yu received the reply.

"50,000 yen."

It looked a bit nonsensical, with only three words. If it were someone else, it would have been a junk message that would have been deleted long ago, but at this moment, it hit Higashino Yu's heart hard.

Duo, Duo Shao?

Another 50,000? !

Well, it doesn't look like much, but the problem is that this is just a small club activity that is like playing house.

50,000 once, 500,000 ten times, and 100 times

Higashino Yu was a little uncalm, and the bad idea he had thought of before came to his mind again.

Should I really quit my job as a waiter and let Xiuji pretend to be a monster to cheat the witch lady's money?

Uh, it feels like draining the water from the pond to catch fish.

Reason suppressed this bad idea, and Higashino Yu pondered for a while.

Do you want to go?

Judging from the unreliability of the witch lady's previous investigation, this investigation should be no exception and will soon be fruitless.

The tutoring class at Miko's place didn't say when to go, but only said it was the weekend. I can ask if I can go in the afternoon.

In this way, I will accompany the witch lady to investigate Nekomata in the morning, help Miko with tutoring in the afternoon, have a meal at the shrine in the evening, and then go home to study and practice.

Time management is excellent.

It's just that the price is a bit inappropriate.

Higashino Yu's eyes fell on the three words 50,000 yen.

In front of you is a double first-class graduate of the 21st century bar dance, a 22-year soul ring of a mud truck, an excellent student of Tachibana High School, a knight of the Moon Kingdom, a foundation-building cultivator, and the fox of the former capital of the island country, Higashino Yu!

There is only one fox in the world.

You want to order me around for just 50,000 yen?

Higashino Yu looked serious, and his fingers firmly and gently pressed the already mottled and blurred number keys.

"Fifty-five thousand!"

The reply was quick, without even letting Higashino Yu feel the slightest hesitation from the other party, and a line of address appeared on the old gray electronic screen.

"Saturday morning at nine o'clock, Kosuge subway station."

Kosuge station is located southwest of Ayase station, not far away, and can be reached in twenty minutes on foot.

Higashino Yu simulated the route map in his mind, and then thought of Arima Norimune and Imagawa Kashiwagi.

If they are to come together, they can't make a wasted trip, right?

"My lord, the salary of the attendant--"

"Your attendant is not my knight."

Looking at the handwriting on the screen, Higashino Yu fell silent.

What do you mean?

The subordinates of your subordinates are not your subordinates?

No, Miss Witch, you have come up with something like the mirror moon, do you have to be particular about such details?

Higashino Yu sighed, thinking in his mind how much money he should give the two attendants.

How about 10,000 yen?

He put away his phone and called Arima Norimune and Imagawa Kashiwagi.

"Our president said that he found traces of the monster and plans to investigate over the weekend. The scheduled time is to meet at Kosuge subway station at 9 am on Saturday."

"If you go, each person will be paid 10,000 yen. Do you want to go?"

Higashino Yu looked at the two people with clear eyes.

10,000 yen, it's not a small amount. It takes almost a day to earn so much as a part-time job in a supermarket. Just running errands with the young lady can earn 10,000 yuan, which is really a lot.

In fact, Higashino Yu's heart is bleeding when he gives 10,000 yuan to each person.

Unlike them, he has been poor since childhood. When he mentions 10,000 yen, his first reaction is not Fukuzawa Yukichi, but how many discounted bentos he can buy.

But after all, they are friends, and Higashino Yu is unwilling to let them work in vain.

"Monster?" Imagawa Kashiwagi hesitated for a while and did not answer immediately.

Arima Norimune, who was a little absent-minded in a jade state, heard this, like a dog that smelled a bone, and instantly stood up and hurriedly approached.

"Who are you going with?"

"If both of you go, it will be me, you, Imagawa, and the president, probably four people."

Arima Norimune was a little surprised: "No other beautiful girls?"

"I don't know, the president didn't mention it." Higashino Yu shrugged.

Arima Norimune squinted his eyes and stared at Higashino Yu for a while, keenly aware of the danger, shaking his head like a rattle.

"Forget it, I won't go. I don't have much time to practice swords on weekends."

He looked Higashino Yu up and down, sneered in his heart, you are good, Higashino, it's called a club activity, but it's actually a date. If I go with you, I will be forced to feed you dog food.

Trick the dog over and slaughter it in public. We are all brothers. How can you bear it?

Disgusting!

So disgusting!

I will hide and kill.

"Okay, I'll tell the president when the time comes. Imagawa, what about you?" Higashino Yu looked at Imagawa Kashiwagi.

Imagawa Kashiwagi pondered for a moment, nodded and agreed: "I want to go."

Arima Norimune's eyes were bigger than a cow's, he pulled his sleeve and waved: "Come here and I'll tell you."

Imagawa Kashiwagi looked at him in confusion, followed him, and the two walked to the corridor outside the classroom.

Arima Norimune glanced at Higashino Yu who was sitting in the classroom and whispered.

"You are crazy, Imagawa, they are obviously going on a date, if you go with them, won't you be a light bulb the whole time? Or are you tired of eating rice and want to taste dog food? No, think about it-"

Fuck, I said that recently, why do the expressions of my classmates around me look at me a little strange, the boys are all gritting their teeth, and the girls are all sighing and lamenting.

So it was you who spread rumors to ruin my reputation? !

Dong Yeyu sat in his seat and heard everything clearly. His face darkened immediately and he warned him twice.

“Ahem!”

The cough sounded dull and serious. For a moment, the students in the classroom thought that a school leader had come. They followed the sound and finally saw Dong Yeyu with an expressionless face.

Some girls looked at him a few more times, while the boys rolled their eyes.

Arima Zezong was talking excitedly. When he heard Dong Yeyu cough, he looked into the classroom and immediately saw his face as black as the bottom of a pot. He was stunned.

You can hear this too?

No, buddy, you were really a cat in your previous life, right?

Imagawa Kashiwagi felt interesting and smiled slightly: "Arima-kun, I am indeed more interested in the topic of legendary monsters, and I joined the club because of this. So I want to go and see it together, anyway, there is nothing to do on the weekend."

Arima Norimune sighed and cast a pitying look at him, as if he had seen how the shy and polite Imagawa Kashiwagi was slaughtered, and patted his shoulder.

"It's up to you. If you are embarrassed at that time, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Imagawa Kashiwagi just smiled in response, and behind the thick black-framed glasses, the bright eyes contained some expectations and memories.

Saturday, Tuesday, morning,

Asumi Sanae, wearing a white dress and pajamas, opened her sleepy eyes from the big bed that was big enough for three people to roll around, staring at the canopy-like bed curtains above her head. The night-like bed curtains were painted with stars and moons in gold, as well as some mysterious symbols.
