I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Most of these wild cats lie lazily on the walls of residents' yards to bask in the sun. The breeds are basically native cats, with various colors, such as cow cats, orange cats, pear blossoms, tortoise shells, etc.

These cats seemed to be being taken care of, and they were all fat, strong, and shiny.

They are not afraid of people. They can't even move when people pass by them. The sound of two Toyotas driving by just makes them open their eyes for a moment.

Not long after Dong Yeyu and the others got off the bus, an old man who looked like he was out for a walk passed by at the intersection, holding a small cloth bag in his hand.

He looked at Dong Yeyu and the others for a moment, smiled, nodded and said hello: "Good morning."

The old man looked to be seventy or eighty years old, with many wrinkles on his face and a kind-hearted look.

Higashino Yu and Imagawa Kashiwagi bowed in return: "Good morning, old sir."

As soon as Sanae got out of the car tomorrow, her eyes wandered around the cats.

Her attention was focused on Nekomata, and she only responded with a slight, absent-minded nod.

The old man didn't care that the girl was a little rude. He looked up at the clear blue sky, and the dazzling sunlight made his eyes narrow slightly.

The old voice was filled with the weight of time, and he sighed softly: "Today's weather is really nice."

"Meow~"

Several orange cats stretched lazily, then walked leisurely to the old man with cat steps, rubbing against his feet.

"Are you hungry?" The old man bent down and stretched out his hand, and a big orange cat stood up with its eyes narrowed and rubbed its head against it.

The old man laughed, quickly took out a large bowl from his cloth pocket, filled it with some cat food, and placed it on the ground.

This time, not only the orange cat, but other cats also yawned and trotted over here, and soon there was a circle of cats surrounding the big bowl.

The old man carefully stepped aside and stood watching with a smile. At the same time, he asked Dong Yeyu and the others: "Young people, are you also here to see the cat?"

When I saw Sanae tomorrow, I was about to speak, but thought that the people of the night I met before were always unable to understand what I meant, so I stopped talking.

They are too stupid to care about the enlightenment from the moonlight, and the task of talking to the mortals must be left to my knights.

So he turned his attention to Dong Yeyu.

Dong Yeyu understood immediately and said to the old man.

"Okay, old man, we are the Supernatural Exploration Editorial Club from Tachibana High School. My name is Higashino Yu, his name is Imagawa Kashiwagi, and this is the president, see you tomorrow Sanae. Those people are bodyguards, don't worry about it them."

Tomorrow See Sanae frowned slightly when she heard this, and looked at Higashinoyu seriously, "Where's my title?"

As a senior in the middle school world, Higashino Yu understood the girl's thoughts with just one look and fell silent.

Very good personal introduction, got me started to decorate my toes.

He covered his face and took a few seconds to prepare mentally, and his voice became much softer.

"As you can see, our president is also the Lord of the Mirror Moon and the guardian of the night. You can call her Her Highness the Moon Witch."

Imagawa Kashiwagi watched from the side, and the story of Higashino's story that was developing in his mind changed. He suddenly felt worried about Higashino Yu's life after his wife's marriage.

Even if someone as good-looking and outstanding as Dongye-kun is among the best, he still has to be toyed with and applauded by the president. He sighed inexplicably.

"Just call me Morishita."

Genji Morishita scratched his head, somewhat confused as to what young people were doing nowadays. What did these convoluted words mean?

Dong Yeyu nodded and inquired about the information very competently - although he himself did not think that there were really other monsters here besides himself.

"That's right, Mr. Morishita, we came here mainly because we heard that there have been many missing cases in the surrounding area in the past six months. We suspect that a monster named Nekomata is causing trouble, so we came here to investigate."

"Do you know anything about this? Have you heard any rumors in Kosuge Town recently?"

"Nekomata? Oh! That kind of scary monster that can eat people in legends?"

Genji Morishita opened his eyes wide and looked very surprised, then he thought for a moment and shook his head.

"I've never heard of it, but you can ask Wakako. Walk along this alley. The place with many cats is her home."

"She takes care of these cats. She does the neutering, bathing and so on. I only come to feed them occasionally."

"If there are rumors about Nekomata, she should know about it."

"Thank you for bothering you."

Higashino Yu said goodbye to the old man politely, had a brief exchange with Asami Sanae and Imagawa Kashiwagi, and agreed to find Wakako first.

On the way, Sanae Mingmi, who was walking behind, pulled Higashinoyu's sleeves, looked up at the confused Higashinoyu, and blinked his eyes: "From now on, you will convey my will."

Dong Yeyu smiled and made a gentlemanly salute: "As you wish, my highness."

Tomorrow saw Sanae nodded very elegantly in return. The two of them had a tacit understanding and didn't seem to feel embarrassed at all.

On the side, Imagawa Kashiwagi pushed up the black-framed eyes on the bridge of his nose. The pair of mirror-like eyes hidden behind reflected the scene in front of him and smiled slightly.

Little liar, I don’t know how many girls I’ve deceived with this trick. Natsuko Sugita followed behind, expressionless.

Several people walked down the alley.

After a brief exchange with several of her bodyguards, Natsuko Sugita began to disperse, keeping a reasonable distance from Asami Sanae - enough time to respond to emergencies without arousing her resentment.

Not long after they left, a strong middle-aged woman hurried over here, and she was relieved only when she saw the old man squatting on the roadside watching the cats eat.

"Dad, why are you here again?"

"Wakako asked me to come here to feed the cats some time ago. If no one takes care of them, they will soon be homeless again."

Morishita Genji stroked the big orange cat lying on the ground with its belly exposed, and turned back to smile at his daughter: "Some of them have been abandoned several times. Fortunately, there is Wakako, so they will not wander around again."

"Auntie Sakurada."

The middle-aged woman was silent for a while, sighed, touched the kitten rubbing against her feet, and helped her father to leave.

"Your illness is serious again. Did you really take the medicine as instructed by the doctor?"

"Why should I take medicine if I am not sick? I won't take it."

Higashino Yu and the others followed the old man's instructions and walked along the alley.

Even the roads on this island country are not very wide, and alleys are everywhere, but the building layout and space are obviously designed.

Perhaps for this reason, the atmosphere of life in the residential area seems to be stronger than that in Shenzhou cities.

The alley in front of us is not wide enough for cars to drive, but it is spacious for people to walk.

The road surface is old and cracked, and occasionally you can see green moss and dead leaves floating out of the residents' courtyards. Generally speaking, it is clean.

The height of the houses on both sides of the alley is just right, and the morning sun shines down obliquely, casting a comfortable shade.

Several people walked about a few hundred meters,

"Is it there?" Imagawa Kashiwagi pointed to a yard not far ahead and said.

There is a two-story single-family house, standing alone among a group of apartment buildings, with a small yard of about 20 square meters. It looks like a very ordinary island residence, a bit like Nobita's house.

Several people walked forward.

I didn't see anyone from a distance just now. When I got closer, I found that there was an old woman sitting in the yard, surrounded by wet cats licking their fur. A rough count was about more than 20.

This old lady is probably the Wakako mentioned by Mr. Morishita.

In front of Wakako is a large basin with lots of foam and cat hair.

She is sitting next to the basin, humming an old song from the Showa era, and drying the hair of the last cat with a clean towel.
