I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 181 I'm the one who caused the trouble

"That's enough. If you practice hard, you won't have to wait for me to come back to deal with the crow spirit."

Xiuji lowered his head and said that what his lord said was true, but he was muttering in his heart, "That's an old monster, my lord. Even if I start practicing from the egg, I won't be able to defeat it, right?"
Dong Ye Yu knew at a glance that this dead bird would definitely not agree with what he said, and tapped him with a pen again. However, he was too lazy to say anything since he had just returned home. He leaned against the wall and reached out to push open the window.

The aroma of the pasta I just ate wafted from the izakaya downstairs. Is it possible that Mr. Oda’s new dish has attracted customers so quickly?
To be honest, the pasta with salmon and truffle actually tasted weird. If you say it wasn't delicious, that would be embarrassing, but it was a waste to make so many good ingredients into a bowl of noodles.

And why do you serve western food in an izakaya?

Of course, when someone invites you to dinner, it’s not good to say anything unpleasant.

After taking a few glances, he turned his gaze to Ayase-zaka. To get to the shrine from his apartment building, he had to walk through a long street and then climb a series of stairs to the road that circled the mountain.

Looking directly from here, the torii gate is facing the apartment where you live. The red paint is shining in the sun. The road built around the hill is much higher than the flat land. From time to time, a few cars pass by, and the sound of horns can be heard in the distance. Scattered tourists can be vaguely seen on the approach to the shrine.

Since Xiuji is back, Miko should have gone home from school.

I don’t know how Yu Zi’s body recovered after taking the Cao Huandan.

Dong Yeyu was a little excited, as the previous reward for repaying his gratitude had not yet arrived, perhaps because the elixir had not been fully digested.

It does take a long time for a mortal who has not started practicing to fully digest an elixir. It may take several years. In today's world, it is not an exaggeration to say that an elixir made by a Jindan Qigong practitioner who gathers the inspiration of immortal herbs and takes advantage of the right time and place can be called an elixir.

Thinking of this, he asked the pigeon beside him, "Xiuji, how has Yuzi been doing during the days I was away?"

Xiuji immediately replied: "My lord, Miss Iori's condition has improved a lot. After taking the elixir given by my lord, her body has become much healthier, but her legs are still a little inconvenient."

Leg still not healed?
That shouldn't be the case. Logically speaking, after a whole pill of Cao Huan Dan has cured Yu Zi, there should be plenty of surplus strength left to strengthen her physique.

I'll visit you later.

Dong Yeyu nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "What else? Are there any bad guys or monsters approaching her?"

"I have been escorting Miss Iori to and from school these past few days, and I haven't noticed any monsters or mortals spying on me. I just had some conflicts with the owner of the Matsushige Supermarket over there a few days ago, and later Iori Miyaji came out to apologize and resolved it."

"I heard about this from the owner of the pub. Do you know the details?"

"The source of the incident is the crow spirit."

Xiuji gritted his teeth when he mentioned the crow spirit. "It stole a lot of goods from the Matsushige supermarket. The owner called the police, but there was nothing they could do. Miss Iori saw that he was really worried and pitiful, so she told him that it was a monster who did it."

"I didn't expect that the boss would be so ungrateful that he actually flew into a rage and scolded Miss Iori a few times. He then went to Iori's house to complain to Iori Miyaji, looking very angry. Iori Miyaji had no choice but to apologize and assure everyone else that there was no monster and that Miss Iori was just making it up. Only then did the situation calm down."

Xiuji sneered at this point and said, "These mortals are really stupid. They don't even believe the truth."

stupid?
Dong Yeyu shook his head: "He is not stupid. If a monster steals a few items, at most he will lose some money. But if people knew there was a monster in his store, and it led to a decrease in customers, then the loss would be more than just a little money. The supermarket would have to close down."

Although what he said was reasonable, Dongye Yu was somewhat disgusted with the supermarket owner.

There's nothing else to say. Miko is someone close to him, and he made a suggestion out of kindness, even if it was a little inconsiderate. But being forced to apologize like this, the boss must be really embarrassed.

Dong Yeyu is not a rational and polite gentleman. He always helps his relatives instead of others.

After thinking about it, I decided to put the matter of the crow monster aside for the time being. With Chun Yuan in charge, the monster couldn't cause any trouble anyway.

So they decided to go to the supermarket and cause trouble at night.

Anyway, now that it has been confirmed that the demon hunters cannot see through his transformation spell, and he is no longer afraid of being killed by some passing gods, Dong Ye Yu is no longer as restrained as before.

The way of dealing with problems has also changed slightly and become more straightforward.

Aren’t you afraid of losing customers?

I started acting in a horror movie and opened a supermarket? I opened a Bull Demon Reward!

Drip!

Just then, a message came on the phone, from Asumi Sanae.

"Even though I live behind the curtain, I have heard the praises of the people of Dark Night for your achievements. I wanted to send my light down to you, but unfortunately the Lord of Dark Moon prayed and called upon the name of the Lord of Mirror Moon. I made an agreement with him to descend to the Dark Moon Kingdom today. Keeping an agreement is basic etiquette. Brave knight, I will wait for you in the palace tomorrow. I hope that after a night of precipitation, your demeanor will be more outstanding and brilliant."

Dong Yeyu translated this sentence in her mind. Maybe her grandfather had something urgent to ask her and couldn't come? Then he asked her to go to the club activity room to find her tomorrow?

I felt a little regretful because my experience in Momogo Town could be written into a short story, and I thought she would be interested.

Miss Moon Witch would suddenly gain gold coins when she was happy. Now that I couldn't do that, I felt like I had lost tens of thousands of yen for nothing.

I don't know what's going on with Miss Jinguji. Can the attendance fee be increased? And how much can it be increased?
I am the big C in this operation, so I should get at least 500,000 yen in bonus.

When I get the money, I will be considered a millionaire. It will always be good to send hundreds of thousands of dollars back to the orphanage to improve the lives of the children.

Dong Yeyu has already started calculating the expenses for the virtual deposits and replied.

"Your knight will do his best to collect supplies and rest for a night before heading to your palace to meet you. May the enlightening light of the mirror moon shine forever."

I typed and sent it, then looked at the phone screen expectantly for a while, only to find that Miss Moon Witch had only sent me a cute emoticon of a black cat wearing a magic hat.

How can we set out without pay?
Tomorrow is Thursday. Miss Moon Witch, don’t you want V50 to give your bravest knight a crazy Thursday?

Dong Yeyu fell silent and reflected on himself.

Did I say it too cryptically?
Maybe don't use a straight punch next time.

Dongye Yu stood up thoughtfully. Since Miss Moon Witch was not coming, he had time to go to the shrine to see Miko.

"Xiuji, I'm going to the shrine to visit the Iori family, please take care of the house. This time I bought a lot of delicious cakes and spirit wine at the demon market in Taoxiang, and there's one for you."

While giving him these instructions, Dong Ye Yu did not forget to paint him a pie in the sky - which wasn't really a pie in the sky.

I did buy these things. Xiuji has followed me for so long, and even if he has no credit, he has worked hard. It wouldn't be a big deal to give him some of them when the time comes.

"Spiritual wine?!"

Xiuji's eyes widened, he smacked his beak a few times, swallowed his saliva, and quickly patted his chest to assure: "My lord, don't worry, with me, Xiuji Zaemon, guarding the city, it will be as stable as a rock!"

"By the way, I met a raccoon monster named Tao Dong in Taoxiang. I asked her to ask someone to sort out the list of goods that appeared in the monster market every once in a while. I will trouble you to get the letter when the time comes." "Yes, eunuch."

Xiuji subconsciously bowed and agreed, but halfway through, he looked at Dong Yeyu with some confusion: "Why didn't the lord contact me by mobile phone?"

Xiuji considered himself a family retainer rather than a family slave, and believed that he had the function of giving advice and remonstrances.

Therefore, even though Dong Ye Yu had a high level of cultivation and was very powerful, and could be killed with just one finger, people still questioned Dong Ye Yu's decisions in many cases, even at the risk of offending their lord.

Sometimes, Higashino Yu doesn't know whether he really has any awareness and beliefs, or is simply parroting the words and actions of the retainers in the Taiga drama.

"Because Taodong can't read."

"Illiterate?" Xiuji suddenly realized, and shook his head with his wings on his back, sighing: "Yes, there are only a few monsters like the lord and the eunuch who are well-read in poetry and books."

After instructing Xiuji, Dongye Yu walked out of the door, stepped out of the shadow of the corridor into the bright sunlight, and walked towards the shrine.

As soon as I walked out of the apartment building, two children, one big and one small, came out of the izakaya. It seemed that the brother brought his sister to eat.

Judging from his clothes, the boy's family was probably a little poor. None of his clothes fit him and they were a little dirty. He had a shaved head and was looking at himself warily.

For such a poor family, eating at an izakaya once is probably equivalent to having a meal at KFC when they were children.

After all, the price of eating out in Tokyo is not low, so many families choose to cook by themselves, which can save a lot of money every month.

The girl's dress fit her well, it was a somewhat rustic pure black dress, her body was clean and tidy, but her face was a little dirty.

The originally cute little face was covered with dried snot, she was thin, her hair was messy and dry, and her big eyes were very smart. She was looking up at the apartment building intently.

Dong Ye Yu followed her line of sight with some curiosity and found that she seemed to be looking at his own house.

So he smiled kindly, put his hands on his knees, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong, little friend? What's there?"

"let's go."

The boy didn't seem to want to communicate. He looked at Dong Yeyu, then pulled his sister away. The little girl was dragged while looking towards the apartment building.

Soon, the two turned left at the intersection ahead and moved away from here.

Strange kid.

Dong Ye Yu watched them disappear at the intersection ahead. He didn't notice anything unusual. He complained in his heart and walked towards the shrine leisurely.

Entering the Torii gate and stepping onto the approach to the shrine, the setting sun makes the approach seem quiet and dim. The hustle and bustle of the outside world seems to be isolated by this guarded forest. The occasional sound of car horns makes the atmosphere seem even more remote.

As usual, I washed my hands at the water fountain, then went to the worship hall to greet the Inari God.

Naturally, one would bow down in the Taoist ritual and recite "Blessings to the Infinite Heavenly Lord" to show one's identity.

In order to avoid getting too familiar with the god Inari and hoping that he would want to take him as his messenger, and refusing at that time would be a bit of an offense to the god.

Of course, this is just a precautionary measure, as others may not necessarily think highly of you.

Puxin Fox, steamed shrimp heads.

After the worship, neither Haruhara nor Inari-no-Omikami paid any attention to me. This was normal, after all, what kind of gods would stay idle in the shrine all day long?

Isn’t that right, Yuanjun?
At this time, a young girl came out of a small house on the right side of the worship hall that sold amulets and lottery tickets. She locked the door and saw Dong Yeyu at the worship hall. She came over and asked curiously, "Who are you looking for?"

When Dong Ye Yu heard the voice, he turned his head and found that it was a strange girl.

He was dressed casually, in a grey hooded sweatshirt on the upper body and black jeans on the lower body. He was about 1.6 meters tall. Even the loose sweatshirt could not hide the cleavage on his chest, and the slightly tight jeans stretched out his round and perfect curve.

She has fair skin, a round face, delicate features, and thick eyebrows. She is bowing her head in a defensive posture, observing herself cautiously, and looks like an honest girl from the country.

"you are?"

When the girl saw Dong Ye Yu, she was stunned. She only came to her senses after Dong Ye Yu reminded her. She introduced herself in a panic with a red face.

"I am Natsuki Moriyama, an intern shrine maiden at Inari Shrine. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Trainee witch?

Miko is in poor health and is unable to perform the job of a shrine maiden, so it is not surprising that she recruits part-time shrine maidens.

After all, Mr. Iori is in his seventies, and just cleaning the shrine every day is enough to make him tired.

Higashino Yu shook his head and said, "I am Higashino Yu, the resident living here. I am just here to visit Iori Miyaji."

Natsuki Moriyama seemed to have forgotten that he was off work, and said enthusiastically, "The Iori residence is behind the shrine. Do you want me to take you there?"

"No, no need. Iori Miyaji is my elder, I can go by myself."

Dong Yeyu explained with a smile, then said goodbye and left.

Natsuki Moriyama stood there, staring at the young man's back in a daze.

Is this the Tokyo handsome guy?

Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she quickly took out her cell phone to check the time, and her expression changed drastically, "Oh no, I'm going to be late for work!" She screamed and hurried away with her backpack on her back.

Iori House, Tea Room,

Higashino Yu and Iori Tadamichi sat opposite each other.

"Miko and her grandmother have been talking about you these days. Ayu, you have been away for several days and didn't even call back to report your safety. It really makes people worried." Iori Tadamichi said with a stern face, looking a little unhappy.

While pouring tea for Iori Tadamichi, Higashino Yu explained, "You may not know that this demon-killing operation requires going into the mountains. My cell phone is valuable, so I didn't bring it with me for fear of losing it."

Iori Tadamichi was suspicious: "There will be a chance to call back and report safety in the next few days, right?"

Dong Yeyu apologized a little embarrassedly, and then explained: "Later, the phone was actually put in the backpack. I haven't touched a smartphone in these years, and I forgot about it for a while. In addition, I have experienced a lot of things in the past few days, and met many good demon hunters. I was busy and dizzy."
