I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 156 The only chance in this life

Dong Ye Yu looked around and found that many people's eyes were on him. Some people just looked at him silently, while others were surprised.

However, most of them heard it from others, so there was not much discussion.

The young demon hunters from the Kusaka family, who had actually seen how injured Higashino Yu was, and some demon hunters they met on their way back to the room all frowned.

Why are you working so hard?
Maki Kusaka remained silent, her delicate brows furrowed.

When I saw him in the morning, the bloodstains all over his body were shocking. If he were another demon hunter, he would be half-crippled.

If you make any drastic movements with this kind of injury, the consequence will definitely be the wound bursting, and it will easily become infected if not treated.

Generally speaking, if you don't stay in the hospital for ten days or half a month, you won't be able to recover your combat effectiveness.

Even if this familiar-looking Kansai demon hunter has great skills, he cannot escape the shackles of a mortal body, right?

Does he have any grudge against the demons?

"Maki, you really do know him, right?" Cousin Masaya Kusaka smiled teasingly.

Kusaka Maki shook her head: "No, I haven't seen him, but I think those eyes are familiar--"

Kusaka Mare's smile became even brighter: "I know, I know."

The voice of his distant cousin Junpei Kusaka made no effort to conceal his disgust for him.

"Didn't he get injured because of the unauthorized action? What's the point of changing clothes to cover up the injuries? If we can't see them, they don't exist? He's still going to participate in the operation in this state. I'm afraid he will become a burden when the time comes, right?"

Upon hearing this, the other demon hunters around also felt that this arrangement was not a good idea.

"Even wild animals know to target injured individuals in their prey group. If this young man encounters a demon in the mountains, he might be in danger."

"He gave away the famous family sword. Logically, he should be a mature and steady person. I wonder what his elders think?"

"All we can say is let go of the desire to help others and respect their fate."

"How about we talk to Mr. Jinguji later. It seems that the young man is close to the daughter of the Jinguji family. As his elder, Mr. Jinguji may be able to persuade him. This young man is a rare talent in both appearance and cultivation. It would be a pity if the demons take advantage of him when he enters the mountain this time."

"There's nothing to regret. This is his destined fate. The most important thing in cultivation is one's character. He was successful at a young age, and he is proud, complacent, and arrogant. If he doesn't encounter some setbacks and see his true nature, he won't go far."

Dong Ye Yu clearly heard the demon hunters' very quiet discussions, but he did not pay much attention to it and did not explain anything.

I did look a little disheveled when I came back from climbing over the mountains in the morning, so it's normal to have such misunderstandings.

It's annoying, but no explanation is necessary.

Do I have to take off my clothes and point to the wounds on my body that have almost healed to prove myself to them one by one?
That's completely falling into the self-proving trap.

Just like those people on the Internet who make long speeches about how rich their companies are, they are not as effective as the V50 in proving its strength.

Similarly, no matter how much you explain, it would not be as direct as just killing the demon with one blow.

What's more, it would be fine to explain it to Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami. She is his classmate and can be considered a friend - temporarily.

These people are not relatives or friends, and perhaps some of them do have good intentions, but it is hard to say what most of them are thinking.

Higashino Yu walked up to Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami and greeted them.

"Good morning, Mrs. Jinguji, Jinguji-san, Shiori and Kaori."

The tone wasn't warm. Since you plan to move away after repaying the favor, then don't get in touch with her any more from now on, to avoid a tangled mess later.

After saying that, his gaze fell on Shiori and Kaori, and he frowned slightly. These two girls are about the same age as Miko, so even if they have some experience, they won't really have to be on the front line, right?

Are the demon hunters in the island country so strict?

Dong Ye Yu complained in his heart, but didn't say anything - the other person's parents are here, and his parents are not in a hurry, so he has no reason to be anxious.

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami was as taciturn as ever, and just nodded slightly politely: "Good morning, Higashino-san." Jinguji Rinko smiled and nodded in response. She stood aside and keenly noticed the change in Higashino Yu's attitude. She looked back and forth between her expressionless niece and Higashino Yu.

Is there any conflict?
"Good morning, Tono Nissan!"

The petite Shiori and Kaori smiled sweetly, then moved closer to him and asked in a low voice.

"I heard that Dongye Nisan was injured by a demon in the mountains last night. Is he okay?"

Dong Ye Yu felt very touched when he saw the two cute little sisters caring about him so much. He was reminded of the little girls in the orphanage.

So he replied in a gentle voice: "Thank you Shiori and Kaori for your concern, it's just a minor flesh wound, it's nothing serious."

After Higashino Yu finished answering this sentence, the two of them first glanced at Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami, and their expressions immediately changed from concern to curiosity. Their two pairs of bright eyes became much louder, and they spoke in unison, their voices were pure and naive.

"Is that demon powerful? What does it look like?!"

"It was a demon named Jiashaxuan, who was just trying to sell his head. He was vulnerable and has been killed by you, Dongye Nissan." Dongye Yu said with a smile.

Kasayaxuan? That's a big monster. Most demon hunters will be eaten if they encounter it. Even demon hunters with high skills can't do anything about it.

It is better to believe that I am Susanoo than to believe that you can kill it.

After hearing their conversation, both the demon exorcist from the Jinguji family and other people were speechless. This kid was talking nonsense and seemed unreliable.

However, upon hearing this, several demon hunters from the Ueda family looked over at Higashino Yu, and when they met his gaze, they all smiled.

"Amazing!"

Shiori and Kaori exclaimed when they heard this, and their eyes fell on their cousin Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami's face again, and found that she had no expression and seemed not to notice them.

Strange, didn’t mom say that my cousin liked swordsmen who slayed demons and monsters the most when she was little?

Don't you believe it?

This is difficult to handle.

Shiori and Kaori looked at each other, and when they thought of this, their cute little faces like porcelain dolls showed a look of facing a great enemy.

Because they also don't believe that Higashino Yu is really that powerful.

But the problem is that Higashino Nissan is currently the closest person of the opposite sex to my cousin!

If even he can't attract my cousin, when will she be able to get married?

Given my cousin's personality, she might stay at home forever and become a scary old woman.

In the cold winter, he would drag himself out of his warm bed, and in the hot summer, he would force himself to practice in the scorching heat of the dojo. He would abuse himself in the name of practicing martial arts, secretly look at his test scores and then tell his parents about it.
No, this is what she has done before. If she can't get married and becomes an old woman, it will probably get worse!

She will torture herself all the time!
Such a fate is too sad.

Shiori and Kaori thought about the sad and miserable future and saw the solemn expressions on each other's faces.

They realized one thing almost at the same time - they must let their cousin marry into the Higashino family, otherwise they will never have peace!

Now is the perfect opportunity to take advantage of Higashino Nissan's charm. Even if it means lying, I will make my cousin fall in love with her.

Shiori/Kaori!

The two girls looked at each other, their watery eyes full of determination.

We have to consider whether this will be our only chance in this lifetime.
