I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 102 You Will Never Have a Future
"I," Kusaka Nagamasa stared at Kusaka Nobuhide for a second, had a bad feeling in his heart, and hurriedly explained.

"Uncle San, listen to me, this fox must be Dong Yeyu's magic, you were deceived by him--"

"Is it a divine messenger? Don't you know better than me?"

Kusaka Nobuhide looked at this distant nephew and warned him with a cold face.

"Tell me the truth about your wrongdoings, and I can help you see if there is any room for change. If you insist on being stubborn, then there is nothing I can do."

To put it bluntly, the two families have been separated for more than a hundred years. Although they have always had contacts, they are only ceremonial contacts during festivals and holidays to maintain the relationship.

When encountering a situation where the gods are censuring you for a minor offense, I would help to mediate the matter, thus preserving the friendship we have had for more than a hundred years.

If it was a serious blasphemy, let alone the fact that Kusaka Nagamasa was only the fourth son in the family, even if the head of their family came, it would be useless.

Nobuhide Kusaka thought he was not bold enough to save people in front of God.

And the kind of person who could make the gods send messengers to arrest and interrogate him, to be honest, not only Kusaka Nobuhide, but even Kusaka Nobuhide's father had rarely seen one.

It has been many years since the gods have directly taken action to inflict divine punishment like this. Even if they want to punish, it is just to curse mortals with bad luck.

The most typical example is probably Akechi Mitsuhide, who burned down the temple and then suffered misfortune all the way to his death.

Kusaka Nagamasa's forehead was covered with sweat. Damn it, why didn't you believe me? !
Now Kusaka Nobuhide was intimidated by Higashino Yu, and he had a premonition that if his next words were not honest, Kusaka Nobuhide would probably hand him over on the spot.

How to do?
If I run away immediately, I will be guilty of offending God, which is the most foolish thing to do. The Rixia family will not help me.

But if I tell the truth, based on what I have done, they will most likely hand me over to Higashino Yu who is pretending to be a god.

Kusaka Nagamasa was extremely anxious and cursed in his heart, thinking that these demon exorcists, who claimed to be extremely smart, were all blind and could be deceived by a high school student.

But right now, they are the only ones who can help him. If he fails to convince these distant relatives, he will surely die.

Kusaka Nagamasa realized that he had come to a life-and-death situation, and after a moment of silence, he spoke.

"I didn't blaspheme or offend the gods. I just asked the child of the priestess of Inari Shrine to stay with me for a few days. She has a good relationship with Higashino Yu."

"I didn't want to hurt her. I just asked her to talk to that Dong Yeyu so that he couldn't retaliate against me. Uncle San, I was just trying to protect myself."

His expression was serious and his tone was sincere, but such words could not fool even Kusaka Maki.

So she avoided Kusaka Nagamasa's hopeful gaze and instead secretly looked up at the fox god in the sky.

The fox god's chariot is really huge, with auspicious clouds protecting him, auspicious light shining everywhere, and even a divine crown. A god with such a grand ceremony would not be an ordinary mountain god.

A fox? Could it be the Inari God? Or a fox Inari God?

Maki Kusaka guessed in her heart that there were several Inari gods in the island country, all of them great gods, so it was indeed not easy to guess.

The other people in the courtyard, including Kusaka Maki's uncles and uncles, all shook their heads secretly after hearing Kusaka Nagamasa's story.

Do not live by committing sins.

They ignored this distant relative and turned their attention to the fox god in the night sky.

But no one was as bold as Kusaka Maki to look directly at the god. She was satisfied with just glancing at him occasionally out of the corner of her eye.

This opportunity to observe the gods up close and personal is quite rare. It is said that practitioners with high comprehension may be able to gain some inspiration for their practice from the gods.

However, quite a number of demon hunters have never seen a real great god in their entire lives, and it is considered good enough if they can have a good relationship with one or two minor gods or gods' messengers.

As a demon hunter, it is extremely lucky to be able to see the divine instrument up close.

Everyone prepared to go back and have a couple more drinks so they could brag about it at future demon hunter gatherings.

How do you know that I saw the Inari God with my own eyes?
As for the life or death of Kusaka Nagamasa?
Not to mention that the demon hunter himself is accustomed to life and death.

The key point is, who are you, Kusaka Nagamasa?
They are distant relatives within the fifth degree of mourning, and are almost strangers. If they suddenly come to visit, it must be because they have done something bad and are seeking refuge.

Now that the gods have come to call them to account, they are afraid that they will be implicated by this man.

After hearing this, Kusaka Nobuhide was even more stunned. His eyes fell on Kusaka Nagamasa and he began to examine him again.

He originally only thought that Kusaka Nagamasa was polite, quick-witted, and had outstanding learning talent. Once he was admitted to the University of Tokyo, he would be considered an outstanding person and might achieve something in the future.

But he has no future.

He saw through this kid's plan at a glance - what good goods could a merchant have when doing business with the Rixia family?
It’s just the things that people used to eat at the same table with their son-in-law in ancient times.

If mortals want to deal with a demon exorcist, they either have to ask another demon exorcist for help, or start with the demon exorcist's relatives and friends - of course, not all demon exorcists are powerful, and quite a few of them only know a few spells and have some magical powers.

As an exorcist, Kusaka Nobuhide hated such despicable means even more.

"You take care of yourself. I can't help you with this matter. Uncle, let everyone in the house go back to their rooms."

Upon hearing this, Kusaka Nagamasa immediately panicked, pulled Kusaka Nobuhide's sleeve, and pleaded in panic.

"Third Uncle, Third Uncle, save me. He is really not a god. He is Dong Yeyu. I recognized his voice. I know I was wrong. Save me—"

Kusaka Nobuhide impatiently swung his sleeves and turned around, raised his head to glance at Higashino Yu, and bowed down: "God's messenger, this matter has nothing to do with my Kusaka family, please understand clearly."

"As for Kusaka Nagamasa, he is just a guest visiting my house. Since he has committed a serious crime, my Kusaka family will naturally not cover it up. However, we do not have the power to punish him, so please ask the messenger to talk to him alone."

"Good." Dong Yeyu nodded slightly, his heavenly clothes fluttering, his hair shining with golden light, his expression dignified, and a clear and sacred aura emanating from his whole body, truly exuding a divine aura.

"You all should step down. What happens next has nothing to do with you."

Kusaka Nobuhide bowed again, and everyone in the Kusaka family followed suit.

After getting up, Kusaka Nobuhide said to the kneeling shikigami: "Yin, go and tell Lu and the others not to approach the courtyard or spy."

"As ordered."

After receiving the order from its master, the shikigami stood up, but did not dare to look up. Instead, it lowered its head and bent, taking small steps backwards. After retreating a certain distance, it turned around and turned into a demonic cloud and left.

After the shikigami left, everyone in the Kusaka family also left the courtyard.

"Maki, is there really a god coming?"

"What does it look like? Let me see!"

When the young people of Kusaka Maki's generation heard about it, they ran from the other end of the house and entered the Japanese-style room near the courtyard, trying to peek through the cracks in the window, but were taken away by Kusaka Nobuhide.

He had the shikigami patrol back and forth on the corridor near the courtyard to make sure no one in the house could peek at the scene of the god questioning the guilty.

Kusaka Nobuhide actually felt a little unbelievable in his heart. This was the first time he discovered that the gods would actually personally question him.

After all, there have been priests or their families killed over the years, and some of them were killed for various reasons.

Murder, demon disasters, etc., but I have never heard of any gods personally punishing people. But now the messenger of the gods has indeed come, and Kusaka Nobuhide does not want to offend the gods for a distant relative with bad character, so he just suppresses his doubts in his heart.

As for whether this god would be held accountable by Takama-ga-hara for rashly interfering in the mortal world, that was the god's business and had nothing to do with him.

After everyone from the Kusaka family left, the courtyard became empty in an instant, leaving only Kusaka Nagamasa standing there alone.

He looked up at the fox god in the sky, swallowed his saliva, and said in a dry voice: "Dong Yeyu, I know it's you. You can fool Uncle San and the others, but you can't fool me."

Higashino Yu just looked at him coldly, so Kusaka Nagamasa hurriedly spoke again.

"Everything I said on the phone just now counts. As long as you let me go, money? Luxury house? Luxury car? I'll promise you everything. I won't see Asumi Sanae again. I can drop out of school. I, ah! No!"

Before he could finish his words, he noticed several balls of blazing flames floating around Dong Ye Yu. These flames seemed to have intelligence and cut through the void, dragging flame tails and making strange whistling sounds as they smashed towards him.

Kusaka Nagamasa immediately ran away, but after only a few steps he was hit on the back by a meteorite-like flame.

boom!
In just a moment, the orange-red, blazing flames enveloped Kusaka Nagamasa's entire body.

He could clearly feel his skin and flesh exploding in the blazing flames, the blood in his veins beginning to boil, and his eyeballs bursting in the high temperature.

He couldn't control himself and rolled on the ground in the dry landscape courtyard made of sand and stones, trying to put out the fire.

The unbearable pain made him unable to suppress his voice, and he uttered the most undignified and embarrassing wail since he was born.

"Ahhhhhhh-"

After a while, his vocal cords were probably burned and he could only make strange sounds. As his struggling movements gradually slowed down, Kusaka Nagamasa, covered in flames, lay on the ground motionless.

Dong Ye Yu was floating in the air, watching him being burned to death, then he slowly descended from the clouds and approached.

The soul of Kusaka Nagamasa stood up from the corpse listlessly and began to walk in one direction in a daze.

But after taking a few steps, he was suddenly awakened by the breath of Dong Ye Yu. He first looked at his translucent hands and his own body lying on the ground and burning quietly.

Am I dead?
Kusaka Nagamasa had a complicated expression and was somewhat unwilling. Just thinking of the pain before his death, he shuddered and finally felt a little regretful.

I should have known not to provoke him.

At this time, Kusaka Nagamasa discovered Higashino Yu who was grinning not far away, and stared at the pair of fox eyes full of anger with a look of shock.

Then he thought of something, took a few steps back in fear, and muttered.

"You, what are you going to do? I'm already dead, and you won't let me go? I'm already dead!"

"For most people, death is the end. All sins and grudges are written off at this moment. Entering the cycle of reincarnation, they may repeat their past mistakes, or they may embark on a new path. They may even be lucky enough to embark on spiritual practice and recall their past."

"In this way, death is not so scary. Since there is reincarnation in the future, there is always hope."

Higashino Yu said softly, looking at Kusaka Nagamasa, and said seriously: "But you will no longer have such hope. I will kill you completely and deprive you of the chance to start over. You will disappear completely, as if you had never appeared."

Dong Ye Yu originally wanted to ask him why he did this, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was unnecessary.

Such people are born bad, selfish and arrogant, and they may no longer see ordinary people as the same as themselves.

Perhaps they think they are superior beings, so they can make decisions to deprive others of their lives without any psychological burden.

Kusaka Nagamasa was a smart man, so he naturally understood what Higashino Yu meant. For a moment, an unimaginable fear surged in his heart.

He stared blankly at Dong Yeyu, looking at the bright and sacred halo, the auspicious clouds and auspicious light around him. All these things that should have been reassuring seemed more frightening than the legendary god of death.

"no no."

Kusaka Nagamasa shook his head and wanted to run away, but after he took a few steps, a gust of wind blew from behind him, and an irresistible force pressed down on him.

He was thrown to the ground. Looking back in horror, he saw a huge fox mouth full of sharp teeth. He wanted to struggle, but was unable to move.

He wanted to say something, but his mind was blank and he just wailed uncontrollably. His sharp tongue and quick wit of the past now completely disappeared in the face of divine power and complete death.

Kusaka Nagamasa watched with his own eyes as the fox's mouth full of sharp teeth tore his spirit into pieces. His soul became dim and even his screams became weak.

But when he found that he was only torn into pieces but still alive, he felt relieved.

But then, the dark blue flame that ignited in the void made Kusaka Nagamasa, whose body was like rags, feel completely cold.

He didn't know what it was, but he felt fear all over and began to tremble. Kusaka Nagamasa saw his own end in the flickering quiet flame.

He struggled to escape, and the dark blue flames floated past silently.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

The tiny sparks of fire gradually died down along with the disappearing wails. After watching Kusaka Nagamasa's soul being burned to nothingness, Higashino Yu turned around and disappeared, transformed into a mist of light, followed by auspicious clouds.

Click, click.

Kusaka Nobuhide walked into the courtyard in wooden clogs. He first looked at the auspicious clouds that were quickly disappearing in the night sky, then looked down at Kusaka Nagamasa's body that had been burned to charcoal and his spirit that had dissipated, and sighed.

Even though Kusaka Nagamasa was just a distant relative with whom he had no relationship, and even had a bad character and was not a good person, it was still hard not to feel sad when seeing him being burned to death.

This is true death, the cruelest punishment in the world - even if one atones for one's sins in the underworld, there is still a chance for reincarnation.

After sighing, Kusaka Nobuhide felt a little unlucky again, so he told his family to call the police - the fire department.

Send someone to put out the fire and collect the bodies. There are surveillance cameras at home. Although they can't capture the gods, they can see that Kusaka Nagamasa suddenly caught fire and died.

When the time comes, just call the police station and explain the situation.

As for why this god used fox fire to execute people, he even burned Kusaka Nagamasa to death.
He didn't dare to say it, nor did he dare to ask. What if the other person just had a weird temper?

ended.

Dong Ye Yu turned into a mist of light and galloped in the clouds. He listened to the whistling of the wind in his ears and looked up at the bright moon above the clouds. The silver-gray moonlight sprinkled down, making the quiet sea of ​​clouds in the distance seem real.

Wandering through it and feeling scenes that only appear in dreams, Dongye Yu felt unprecedented joy in his heart, and had a sudden feeling of feeling the vastness of the world.

When watching Spider-Man in his previous life, Maguire said after his revenge: "I wanted him to die, and I did. My anger was released, but my sadness remained."

Fortunately, I sent Xiuji to protect Miko in advance, otherwise I would be feeling similar to Peter Parker.

I don't know what happened to Miko. Higashino Yu was worried about what kind of impact this incident would have on her psychology, so he thought about going to the restaurant to find his body first, and then returning to the shrine.

Wait, how about practicing for a night first?

Dong Yeyu looked up at the hairpin above his head and felt a little moved.

There is one more chapter to be posted in the evening. If I can write more, there may be two chapters in the evening (the other chapter will be regarded as repayment.) I wrote too much on the day of the release, and I feel that I have disrupted Iluviotter's work and rest schedule. Otherwise, I will update on time in the future. I owe 6,000 words a day. I will add a little bit every day to pay it back slowly. My typing speed is too slow, it's really bad.
