I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 13 Three Swords Combined
The boy's name is Arima Norimune. He is only about 1.65 meters tall, not very good-looking, with a square face, small eyes, and eyebrows that look like a bunch of weeds.

Maybe because I like to stay up late, I have dark circles under my eyes, there is always an oily spot on the tip of my nose, and my face is covered with acne.

When he is not smiling, his facial features can be said to be regular, giving people a feeling of being honest and down-to-earth, and quite anthropomorphic.

But when he smiled, his rotten teeth with braces were exposed, his eyes subconsciously narrowed slightly, and the lust in his eyes seemed to overflow from the corners of his eyes, with a kind of vulgar temperament emanating from his bones.

Therefore, since the beginning of the school year, Arima Norimune's reputation among girls has been declining step by step.

Every time he smiled at a girl, his reputation would drop again.

Of course, this is purely judging people by their appearance. In fact, Arima Norimune showed very good character at the beginning.

Although he is a native Celestial Dragon of Tokyo, he does not have the arrogance of Tokyo residents who look down on everyone else.

She became familiar with the boys in the class as soon as school started, and was especially enthusiastic towards Dong Ye Yu, who was only separated from her by an aisle between desks.

Even the address was addressed as Higashino - in the island country, this address is generally only given between close friends.

After learning that I had just arrived in Tokyo, he gave me a lot of advice on food, clothing, housing and transportation. He also told me to look for him if I encountered any difficulties in the future. Many times I suspected that he was just a fake Japanese.

Hearing Arima Zemune's question, Dong Yeyu took out the books he would use today and put them away, and replied casually, "Just arrived."

"Strange, Imagawa, you didn't notice it either, did you?"

Arima Norimune turned to look at the boy he had just chatted with: "I noticed before that Dongye made no noise when he walked. He must have been a cat in his previous life."

On the contrary, I was a human in my previous life and a fox in this life.

Dong Yeyu complained in his heart and laughed: "You guys were so excited chatting just now, didn't you notice that I was not normal?"

"How is that possible? I've been keeping an eye on the door, waiting for you to come." Arima Norimune muttered.

"Wait for me?" Dong Ye Yu was a little confused.

"Did you forget? Today the school club is recruiting new members, and I was just talking about this with Imagawa. The three of us are like-minded and work together, so it would be great if we could join the same club."

Play less Dynasty Warriors and speak less half-literate.

Dong Yeyu curled the corners of his mouth, but he was still somewhat interested in the club topic.

I had been longing for it when I was in high school in my previous life. Although I am not planning to join any club in this life due to financial pressure, learning more about it can always satisfy my curiosity.

"What club are you planning to join?" Dong Ye Yu asked.

"Arima-san is planning to join the Kendo Club, but I'm not sure yet. What do you think, Tono-san?"

Imagawa Kashiwagi, who was sitting behind Arima Norimune and next to Higashino Yu, asked with a smile.

He sat next to Higashino Yu and behind Arima Zemune. There was only an aisle between the desks that was wide enough for one person to walk. Since their seats were close to each other, they could communicate more.

It’s too early to say we’re friends, but after spending so many days together, we’ve gotten to know each other’s personalities and we seem to get along pretty well.

Unlike the outgoing Arima Norimune, Imagawa Kashiwagi has a calm and reserved personality. He mostly uses honorifics when speaking and doesn't talk much, and can even be described as taciturn.

He was tall but a little skinny, so that at first glance he looked like a telephone pole, but he had a delicate appearance, but his thick bangs covered it like a mask. He wore black-framed glasses, and behind the heavy glasses were a pair of special eyes, like a mirror placed in a dark room, reflecting everyone.

He was not active in class. Apart from studying, he would just sit in his seat and stare blankly. Occasionally, Arima Norimune would pull him over to chat, but most of the time he would just act as a loyal listener.

"As for me, I guess I belong to the homecoming department." Dong Ye Yu said with some regret.

Some clubs in island high schools are actually helpful for college admission, such as some sports clubs, such as baseball clubs and track and field clubs.

If you can win a big prize during your high school career, as long as your academic performance is not too bad, you can enter a good university as a gifted student.

Kendo is at a great disadvantage compared to some popular sports nowadays.

However, if you can win a kendo award like the Jade Dragon Flag, or get good places in some kendo competitions, becoming a police officer is also a good way to go.

But for me, these clubs are unnecessary.

First, it conflicts with my part-time job schedule, and second, I don’t really need this kind of award to add icing on the cake. If nothing goes wrong, I can get into my favorite university based on my academic ability alone.

What a pity. It is said that high school club life can create good memories.

"Eh?!" Arima Norimune was stunned on the spot, as if struck by lightning. He grabbed Higashino Yu's desk and tried to persuade him.

"I was thinking of taking you two to join the Kendo Club and win the Jade Dragon Award. Are you really not going to consider it again? Dongye, you, Kashiwagi, and I, if we join forces, we will surely become famous all over the world and leave our names in the history of Tachibana School. It would not be a bad thing!"

"And there's a bonus for the Jade Dragon Flag."

Come on, buddy, I haven’t practiced sword for a day, let alone whether I can get the prize in the end. Even if I got the prize, I would have been so hungry that only the fox skin would be left.

Higashino Yu spread his hands: "But I haven't practiced sword for a day, you know that, Arima-san."

"That's fine. We still have three years. With your physique, Dongye, practicing swordsmanship can be said to be twice the result with half the effort."

Arima Norimune patted Higashino Yu's broad shoulders with envy, and said confidently: "Besides, there is me, right?"

"My ancestor used to be a general under the daimyo. He was said to be a very famous samurai and a great swordsman. He passed down many books on military tactics. As his descendant, it is not a problem for me to use these military tactics to teach one or two apprentices."

The island nation's military books are not like the ones in China that teach how to lead troops to fight, but are more like martial arts secrets.

"Mr. Arima, it would be bad if the military strategy book inherited from your family was passed on to outsiders." Imagawa Kashiwagi said with a frown.

"There's nothing wrong with it." Arima Norimune smiled and sat down at the edge of Imagawa Kashiwagi's table.

"When my dad was in school, my grandfather forced him to learn the family swordsmanship. But he hardly touched a sword after he started working. He didn't really value these family swordsmanship and just kept them as old items. They will be mine sooner or later anyway, so isn't it better to take them out and promote them in advance rather than letting them get moldy?"

Higashino Yu really wanted to learn these killing skills, so that he wouldn't be able to only throw a turtle punch despite having the strength of a supermodel.

But if the price is to join the Kendo Club, forget it.

For me right now, money is a high priority, so I politely declined: "I personally really want to give it a try, but I really have something important to do."
