I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

This is a girl, not tall, about 1.4 meters.

She is thin, wearing a white dress, and looks very cute, with picturesque eyebrows wrinkled, a small and delicate nose twitching, a fair face with some baby fat, and slightly open lips.

Probably partly of foreign descent, her hair is black and brownish red and has some natural curls, thick and dense, and naturally scattered.

Her bangs are pinned up by two strange lucky cat hairpins - they are the ceramic lucky cat piggy banks of the island countries, made small and exquisite, like the cat teacher in Natsume's Book of Friends.

Whether it is the delicate facial features or the dense brown and red natural curly hair, Dong Yeyu inexplicably reminds her of Hermione Granger's childhood in Harry Potter, but that look reminds people of Luna.

However, the girl does not look as lively and healthy as Miss Know-it-all. I don't know if it is because of the flashlight, her skin color is a little too pale.

And she is leaning on a cane in her left hand, the style is the same as that of Zhu Xingtuan.

Higashino Yu recognized the girl immediately.

"Ms. Iori?"

The girl's full name is Iori Miko, and she is the granddaughter of Iori Tadamichi, the chief priest of Inari Shrine in Ayase Town. I have met her several times.

At that time, I had just arrived in Tokyo and was unfamiliar with the place. Higashino Yu took Mr. Miyazaki's handwritten letter to his friend Iori Tadamichi and asked for help.

After reading the letter, Iori Tadamichi asked me about Mr. Miyazaki's recent situation while writing a reply.

Then he asked me to live directly in the shrine-Inari Shrine is also in Ayase District, not far from the apartment where I live now, located on a hill called Ayasezaka, and commuting is also quite convenient.

But for a monster like me to live in a shrine is just like an old man eating arsenic, and I am tired of living.

Even if the messenger of Inari God is a fox, he probably won't spare me, and he might be more evil and vicious.

No matter where the messenger fox is born, he will basically regard himself as a Tokyo dragon fox when he enters Tokyo.

And I am a Kyoto fox, and in the eyes of Tokyo Tianlong Fox, I am a Kansai villager who came to Tokyo to beg for food.

Unless the fox messenger of the Inari God is a female fox, or they can't see through my transformation, there is no way I can escape.

Higashino Yu has been trembling with fear and treading on thin ice all his life. He has always sought stability and did not want to use his life to test the concealment of his transformation, so he had to politely decline.

Seeing that I insisted on my attitude, Iori Tadamichi was a little helpless. He found a house near the subway station on the Ayase side that day and negotiated with the owner of the apartment to lower the rent.

At the same time, he paid the first month's rent himself without notifying Higashino Yu.

If it was in the previous life, Higashino Yu would definitely return the money to the old man, but in this life, there is a gratitude system, and most of the time I will choose to accept the kindness of others.

So Higashino Yu just thanked the old man, and the system really judged that he owed a favor.

Therefore, even though he and the girl only got to know each other under the introduction of Iori Tadamichi, they were not familiar with each other.

But because of his love for her, Higashino Yu still had a very good impression of her.

"Higashino Nissan." Iori Miko greeted calmly, with a childish voice that was crisp and ethereal.

"It's so late, what are you doing here?"

Higashino Yu looked around, but didn't see her grandfather, and was confused.

Iori Miko had a serious illness when she was a child, which caused her left leg and left eye to become disabled, and her left arm was also a little dull.

Generally speaking, Mr. Iori would not let her go out alone.

"Look at the pigeons. The talking pigeons took away my snacks."

The girl's clear eyes were a little confused, and she cast her gaze on the third floor of the apartment.

The third floor? Higashino Yu's heart skipped a beat and he walked over.

Let me see what's going on.

He looked up following the girl's gaze and was immediately sweating.

Damn, isn't that my house?

In just a moment, Higashino Yu understood what was going on.

It must have been Xiuji who did it.

Damn bird, snatching snacks from children again!

Higashino Yu's forehead was throbbing with veins, and he smiled and rubbed Iori Miko's little head.

"Only parrots and some crows can talk, pigeons can't talk, you probably saw it wrong."

"That pigeon can laugh. It said its name is Xiu Jizaemon."

Iori Miko said seriously, her beautiful eyebrows slightly wrinkled: "And my snack is gone."

Higashino Yu:

I won't eat teriyaki chicken fillet bento tonight, but old pigeon stewed with mushrooms!

"What a hateful pigeon, I'll buy you snacks on the weekend, and I won't look for pigeons, how about that?"

Higashino Yu smiled gently.

Iori Miko was stunned for a second. It was the pigeon that ate the snacks, why did Higashino Nissan buy me snacks?

This is the kind of talk that adults use to coax children. The girl has seen and heard too much.

She thought for a moment and came to the conclusion that Higashino Nissan didn't believe me.

I thought Higashino Nissan was different from others.

Iori Miko was a little disappointed, pursed her lips slightly, and lowered her eyebrows.

Dong Yeyu didn't know how to read his mind. When he saw the little girl, he thought she was angry or wanted to find a talking pigeon.

He was sweating all over now.

How about I turn into a fox and let you stroke it, and you let that damn pigeon go?

Dong Yeyu rubbed his forehead, feeling a little headache: "How about this, I'll help you find the pigeon--"

"Its name is Xiu Jizaemon." Iori Miko corrected seriously.

".I'll help you find Xiu Jizaemon, how about you go home first? It's late now, where is Mr. Iori?"

Hearing Higashino Yu's promise, Iori Miko looked up and looked at him quietly for a while, then smiled, her glass-like eyes curved into crescents.

"Grandpa is at the shrine."

"So you went out alone? It's too dangerous, I'll take you home."

I was taken care of by Mr. Iori, and even if there was no system, it was my duty to take care of his granddaughter.

"But Xiu Jizaemon flew into your house, don't you go and drive it away first? It will definitely steal Higashino Nissan's food, let's go and drive it away first."

Iori Miko said affirmatively, raising her little head and staring at Higashino Yu, her big and round eyes sparkling.

No, it usually eats openly. Higashino Yu complained in his heart for a while, stared at Iori Miko for a while, and then gave up.

Come on, if you don't come to my house to take a look, you can't get over this, right?

Higashino Yu squatted down with his back to the girl: "Come up, I'll go up and put the lunch box away first, and then take you home."

"Higashino Nissan, please walk lightly. Xiu Jizaemon has very sharp ears and will fly away laughing when he hears a person's voice."

Iori Miko earnestly warned, staggered a few steps, handed the crutches in her hand to Higashino Yu, and lay on his broad and reliable back.
