I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 145: Tanuki and the Big Monster

Higashino Yu?

Taodong blinked, and his furry face showed an innocence that had not been polluted by human knowledge.

She didn't know the meaning of the name, but she thought it sounded nice.

Tao Dong smiled, and a breeze ruffled her bangs, causing the hair on both sides of her face to flutter, and the blue band that tied her hair on the right side of her head swayed in the wind.

"My name is Momofuyu, Master Tono."

She had a lot of things she wanted to ask Dong Yeyu, such as where he lived, whether he was married, whether he wanted to have children, and what the child's name would be - of course this was impossible.

Taodong just wanted to know why he, as such a powerful monster, would come to help a raccoon cat monster like him who hadn't even learned how to transform.

Is it just because of a chance encounter?
But the situation was not right, so she didn't ask.

The short and somewhat fat Tanuki Goro was already jogging over here, pulling Taodong aside and asking something in a low voice.

Out of politeness, Dong Ye Yu did not eavesdrop.

The other raccoon cats stood dozens of meters away, huddled together and observed Dong Ye Yu.

Higashino Yu smiled at them and turned to observe the monsters worshipped by the raccoon cats.

The raccoon cats worshipped a total of six monsters, and less than half of their species could be identified, namely Tengu, ghost, and wild boar.

The other three looked completely human, but there were differences in their clothing.

Tengu is probably the most powerful and richest among them.

He was more than two meters tall, wearing a small black hat, and his face was no different from that of a human. He looked like an old man, with a head full of silver hair, a thick beard, and a thick and hard beard, like a steel needle. He had a square face, thick eyebrows, a solemn and unpretentious look, and his facial features were regular and majestic. He looked majestic, like an old and stern hero.

There is a pair of black feather wings behind him, and he holds a precious fan decorated with colorful tassels in his hand. There are exquisitely decorated wakizashi and tachi hanging from his waist, as well as a brown-red gourd and a small treasure hammer.

Needless to say, the treasure hammer has just been demonstrated to summon thunder, so it is definitely a magic weapon.

There are elegant carvings on the gourd, which faintly exudes powerful magical fluctuations. It is probably also a treasure. The Yamabushi costume he wears is sewn with gold thread to form the shape of a chrysanthemum.

Yamabushi is a term used by the islanders to refer to people who practice Shugendo in the mountains. They are also called Shugenmon. It is a product of the combination of Buddhism, the island's native religion and some miscellaneous things.

Later, this term was not only used to refer to Shugen monks, but also people from Shintoism, Buddhism, etc. who went into the mountains to practice cultivation were called Yamabushi.

He looked in the direction where the Underworld Messenger left, wondering what he was thinking.

Except for its human-like hands and feet, the rest of the wild boar is no different from the original. It is just a wild boar with a body covered with bristles.

He is probably the kind of big monster who thinks his prototype is perfect.

But he was wearing clothes, carrying a big gun on his back, and was fat and broad. He was sitting on a dead tree trunk and eating pears.

The demon with red skin and double horns on his head had a naked upper body full of tendons and muscles, and carried a large mace on his back. He wore blue silk pants and a purple shimenaga tied around his waist like a bow.

He was observing Dong Yeyu and seemed eager to try.

"Is he really dead? Fox's knife is so powerful!"

A sturdy bearded man carrying a wild sword, with his hairy chest exposed, was poking the head of a man wearing a monk's robe with the scabbard.

After poking him a few times, without thinking, he drew out his wild sword and chopped it directly at the head of the monk Xuan.

The two-meter-long Nodachi swung in the air, making a humming sound, and finally smashed down with force. Clang!
Surprisingly, after the blade was chopped down, what was heard was not the sound of the sharp blade entering the flesh, but the clanging sound of steel colliding.

The knife hit the bear's head and sparks flew, but not even a white mark was left.

The sturdy man looked at his knife with concern, and then he breathed a sigh of relief when he found that nothing was wrong.

"stop it now!"

Not far away, a bald old man who looked to be in his fifties and was wearing samurai attire and had a katana hanging from his waist stood up with a sullen face to stop the man.

The old man was plain-looking and had an ordinary appearance. He looked more like an old farmer than a warrior. He gave people a very reassuring feeling, and his weathered eyes contained the wisdom of an elder.

The last big monster was tall and strong, with arms longer than his knees and thighs stronger than most people. He had a long face and looked like an ordinary farmer.

He warily observed the other monsters around him that had not yet dispersed. He carried a large bow and a quiver full of arrows on his back.

"Master Dongye, I am Taodong's elder. Tanuki Goro, we met last night, do you remember? Thank you for saving Taodong. This money is our gift, please accept it."

Tanuki Goro bent down with his head lowered, and presented a string of divine coins with both hands. It looked like there were not many, only about twenty or so.

But divine coins are hard to come by. To the little monsters, even one divine coin is quite precious. Giving so much is quite thoughtful.

However, Dongye Yu was afraid that it would affect his gratitude score. Besides, now that he had killed Jiashaxuan, he could sell the body of the monster in the Monster Market and make some money.

If my gratitude score is lowered by one level because of these twenty coins, I will lose a lot of money, and I will suffer from insomnia when I think about this incident half a year later.

So Dong Yeyu confiscated it and said seriously: "I said before that I came here to repay Miss Tao Dong. If I accept the money, can it still be called repaying a favor?"

"Sir, you are a great demon with profound cultivation. Tao Dong, that little girl, has trouble even picking a few baskets of peaches. How can she be able to save you?"

"She saved me when the god was traveling."

Tanuki Goro was stunned for a second, then he smiled helplessly and said, "As a great monster, how could you make such a mistake? You must be joking."

He had previously asked Tao Dong what was going on, and the girl only said that she had seen this adult at the Monster Market when the Water God Lingze was traveling a few days ago.

At that time, this adult appeared in the form of a fox spirit. The girl thought he was a small monster of low cultivation. She was afraid that he would violate the sacred ceremony and be punished by the gods, so she rushed over and carried him away.

But the problem is, this guy is a big monster who can even defeat Jiashaxuan, how could he not know the taboos when gods travel.

I'm thankful that the girl's self-willed and foolish behavior was not considered offensive by this adult.
Tanuki Goro was smiling, but as he looked at Higashino Yu's serious expression, his smile became increasingly stiff, and he felt a little stunned.

No, are you serious?

Dong Yeyu nodded as if he could hear his thoughts: "Yes, I made such a low-level mistake."

He sighed and said, "At that time, I was immersed in a special state of ecstasy and forgot to avoid the divine ceremony. If it weren't for Miss Taodong, I would probably have fought with the gods."

"Lord Water God has indeed become increasingly irritable over the past twenty years since he last fell into a deep sleep."

Tanuki Goro sighed and then froze, staring at Higashino Yu with wide eyes, suspecting that he had heard it wrong.

Fight with the Water God?
