I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 182 Go download Arknights
"It's time to communicate with other demon hunters. More friends mean more options. When you encounter difficulties in the future, you will know the benefits of having more friends. Ah Yu, you understand this principle, so I, an old man, won't say much. But if you go out to hunt demons in the future, remember to call and report that you are safe when you are done. Dealing with demons is like walking by the Forgotten River. If you are not careful, you will be dragged into the river."

Iori Tadamichi lowered his head and spoke. The setting sun quietly shone through the window of the tea room, shining on the old man's profile. He sighed and drank the warm tea in the cup: "Miko is very worried about you."

"I know."

Iori Tadamichi nodded slightly, then asked, "Did Chengming Ichimonji Nagamitsu help you?"

"It has been of great help. I have killed many demons with it. After being nourished by the demons' power, the spirits that were dispersed on the sword have shown signs of reuniting. I believe that if this continues, in a few years, Chengming Ichimonji Nagamitsu will give birth to a sword spirit again."

"That's good. If it still has a spirit, it should like you, Ayu. After all, if it is kept in Iori's house, it will just be worshipped in front of the gods and gather ashes."

Dong Ye Yu smiled, chatted with the old man for a while, then picked up the teapot and poured him another cup of tea.

"I heard from Mr. Oda that the boss of Matsushige Supermarket scolded Miko and was rude to you?"

When Iori Tadamichi heard Higashino Yu's tone, he raised his eyebrows and looked at him. He probably guessed what he wanted to do and smiled helplessly.

"Matsushige is a narrow-minded guy. His tone was not very good when he came to our house. But Miko made the mistake first, so I can't say anything. I just apologized and provided some proof. It's not a big deal."

"It wasn't long ago that the monster disaster happened in Kosuge. The authorities are trying to dispel rumors and cover it up, but people are still a little skeptical. People in Kita Ayase are also in a panic. The number of people visiting the shrine has increased several times. If people knew that there was a monster in Matsushige's supermarket at this time, he would not be able to open his store."

"He has a family to support, and the supermarket is his family's only business. It is understandable that he is anxious."

Iori Tadamichi said this and looked at Higashino Yu.

"Ayu, are you planning to vent your anger on Yuzi?"

Dong Ye Yu lowered his eyebrows and said nothing, which was considered as his agreement.

Seeing this, Iori Tadamichi smiled and said, "There is an old saying in Shenzhou that if you take a step back, the world will be broader. If there is a conflict between people, if it is an insignificant matter, it is okay to take a step back. There is no need to fight to the death."

Dong Yeyu appeared to be listening carefully to the instruction, but he was muttering in his heart.

If you endure for a moment, you will get angrier and angrier; if you take a step back, you will feel more at a loss. Old man, I advise you not to be superstitious about the ancient sayings of China. Those old people have said both the right and the wrong.

Iori Tadamichi had no idea what Higashino Yu was thinking, so he tried to persuade him with a few words.

"Ayu, don't tease Songzhong. If you think of using magic to solve problems when you encounter them, you will develop this habit in the future. Over-reliance on magic will be detrimental to your practice."

"Besides, attacking mortals is against the law. If you are caught by the Ministry of Religion and Literature, it will be difficult for you to obtain the qualification certificate for exorcist."

After Iori Tadamichi finished speaking, he noticed that Higashino Yu nodded seriously in agreement. Thinking that he usually acted maturely and steadily, he felt relieved.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Miko just got out of school not long ago and is doing homework in the study. Do you want to go see her?"

Dong Yeyu nodded and stood up: "That's exactly what I meant. I've seen a lot during this trip, and I'm sure Yuzi will be interested. By the way, I also want to see how the elixir works on her."

"That elixir is indeed a miracle drug. After taking it, Yuzi's health has improved a lot these days. He can move around a lot more easily, and his complexion and spirit are no different from those of an ordinary child. It is Yuzi's blessing to meet you, Ayu."

When Iori Tadamichi said this, he wanted to thank Higashino Yu again.

But thinking about how close they were, saying thank you would be awkward, so he just expressed his gratitude in a tactful way.

"You have treated me well, and Yuzi also regards me as a brother. As a brother, I cannot watch my sister suffer. If a pill can make Yuzi live happily, then it will be worthy of the great master who took the trouble to refine it."

Dong Yeyu replied with a smile, bowed slightly, and left the tea room quietly.

The waxed, polished corridor was filled with the setting sun. The chirping of returning birds could be heard occasionally from the town forest. The Iori family's courtyard was very quiet, with only the sound of chopping vegetables coming from the kitchen.

Whether in his previous life or this life, although Dong Ye Yu was not a good cook, he liked to listen to the sound of cutting vegetables. He always felt very satisfied, at ease and secure when listening to it.

Then, a strong smell of food began to waft from the kitchen, and the dinner prepared by Grandma Iori seemed to be taking shape.

Because the Iori family is headed by two elderly people, and Miko had previously been in poor health, they eat quite early, usually starting dinner at around five or six o'clock.

At this time in my previous life, my parents probably wouldn’t have gotten off work yet.

Dong Ye Yu glanced at the old quartz watch on his wrist. It was still more than ten minutes before five o'clock, so he should be able to have a meal later.

Although the food at the Kori Onsen Hotel is top-notch, it is still not as good as the food at the Iori family. Maybe it’s because the food tastes better when there are more people.

Dong Yeyu came to the study room with a familiar look. Just as he was about to knock on the door, he heard the sound of "tut tut tut" and messy footsteps of bare feet on the floor.

Wow!

The shoji door was suddenly opened, and Miko appeared in front of her.

The girl's expression was calm. She raised her head slightly and looked at the young man in front of her. Her delicate and lovely face was still childish, her skin as white and delicate as jade was showing a healthy rosy complexion, her soft eyebrows were stretched out, and her eyes were sparkling like stars.

After just a few days of not seeing her, she seemed to have grown up a little, a little taller, and a little plumper - but compared to the past, she still looked very petite and thin.

He had probably just returned and was still wearing his school uniform.

The school uniforms of public schools are not as exquisite as those of private schools, but the workmanship is also quite good. The upper body is a white shirt with a red bow tie at the collar, and the lower body is a dark blue pleated skirt that goes below the knee, revealing only a small part of the white and slender calf. Further down, the delicate ankles are half exposed, and the other half is shyly buried in the white lace socks.

Because the sensitive nose had repeatedly overruled the brain, Higashino Yu was very alert and foresighted when his eyes fell on Yuko's feet, and he cut off contact with it at that moment.

It was just a brief interval between the instructions being given, but some smell was still transmitted to the brain.

Nose: Brain, feel this final gift. I want you to know that this is a unique, perfect, indescribable smell. It is the only truth why the world exists and the reason for my existence.

The fresh orange scent mixed with a hint of sweat and the rich body odor of a young girl blend together, turning into electrical signals that are transmitted to the brain nerves and finally penetrate into the soul.

Brain: You damn low thing, how can you have such a fetish as liking to smell the feet of girls? What's so good about the smell of feet? This situation is very tricky, but there is a way out. I suggest you see a doctor, but he will probably ask you to download Arknights.

Nose: Will it kill my talent, erase my reason for existence, and steal the world's only truth?
Brain: No, it won’t help your disease much, but it will make you behave more rationally.

Dong Yeyu showed a complicated expression, feeling helpless about his overly sensitive sense of smell. He blocked out the random thoughts in his mind, turned to look at the girl in front of him, and said with a smile: "Yuko, I'm back."

Miko naturally stretched out her little hand and grabbed Dongye Yu's hand, "Dongye Nissan, please come in."

She spoke softly, using Dong Yeyu's hand as a fulcrum with a little force, turned around and pulled him inside.

In order to prevent her from falling, Dong Ye Yu followed her at the same pace, while his eyes fell on the wall of the study room thoughtfully.

Maybe Miko ran here holding on to the wall?
Although being able to initially move without crutches is a significant improvement compared to before, Higashino Yu still feels a little regretful that he has not fully recovered.

However, the three-foot-thick ice did not form overnight, and it certainly will not be thawed in a day or two. Perhaps after fully absorbing the medicinal effects of the Cao Huan Dan and then embarking on the path of cultivation, he will be completely healed.

"During these days when Higashino Nissan is away, Miko has encountered some new and interesting monsters."

Miko spoke softly in a voice without any emotion, smoothing her skirt. She was sitting behind a desk with textbooks and exercise books on it, doing her math homework.

Dong Yeyu took a quick look and saw that the girl had done everything right, so he asked casually, "Is it that crow monster?"

"Yes! She is a very beautiful crow monster, but for some reason, she likes to steal things. She has visited many supermarkets and stores, but her favorite place is Matsushige Supermarket."

Speaking of Matsushige Supermarket, Miko's eyes dimmed a little, and she picked up a pen and spoke softly while doing her homework.

"Stealing is not a good thing. It would be terrible if I were caught by a demon exorcist someday. I will try to stop her next time I see her."

Higashino Yu discovered that the Iori family's books on exorcism and some miscellaneous books related to monsters and spiritual practice had been thoughtfully placed on the beech wood bookshelf behind him.

He picked up a book and flipped through it before answering, "Maybe you won't be able to encounter it again, Miko."

Yuzi stopped writing and looked at Dong Yeyu, tilting her head slightly, "Why?"

Dong Yeyu looked at the girl and said seriously, "Because it might become crow soup in my house tonight."

"Eh?!"

Dong Yeyu explained: "The crow monster came from Mount Takao. It must have a good level of cultivation, so it is very arrogant. I don't know why it took a fancy to my house. A few days ago, it beat Xiuji and threatened to make me move out of my current residence."

The girl blinked and said, "Tono Nissan can come live at my house."

"This is not a matter of residence, Miko, this is a matter of dignity. As a great demon slayer, I am offended by a demon. If I don't stew it, how can I survive in the demon slayer circle in Tokyo?"

Dong Yeyu looked serious: "I heard that you were wronged because of that monster, so it's even more unacceptable to keep it."

"Even Xiuji can't beat her. Will Dongye Nisan be in danger?"

"If it can still make a sound after I cut it with the sword, I lose."

After listening to this, Yu Zi seemed to be lost in thought, her butterfly-like eyelashes drooping. It was unknown what she was thinking, and then she began to do her homework silently.

After the two of them became familiar with each other, they got along very well. They didn't talk about nothing all day long. When they had something to do, they would just do their own thing and chat occasionally.

Higashino Yu enjoyed being together like this, so he didn't disturb her and picked up a monster picture book published by the Ministry of Culture, Sports, Science and Technology to read.

After finishing her homework, Yuko was about to ask Dongye Yu if he encountered any interesting monsters during this demon-hunting trip, but she saw him put down the monster illustration in his hand.

"Miko, stretch out your hand so I can see how well you are doing."

"Yeah." Yu Zi obediently lifted up her sleeves a little, revealing a piece of her fair wrist.

Dongye Yu placed his hand on Yu Zi's wrist like an old Chinese doctor taking her pulse. His spiritual thoughts entered Yu Zi's body through his fingertips and wandered through her meridians and spiritual orifices.

He was surprised at first, but then his relaxed brows gradually frowned.

After the divine consciousness entered Yu Zi's body, it saw two extremely contrasting images, one side was like a beautiful mountain and river, and the other side was so dilapidated.

The meridians and spiritual orifices on the right side of the body are exquisitely transparent. The river symbolizing the meridians is extremely spacious, and the river water is full of powerful spiritual energy. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the spiritual orifices is so much that it all turns into lake water, filling each spiritual orifice. At a glance, the river connects countless mirror lakes together.

But when he reached the left side of the body, he found it a horrible sight. The meridians had dried up to the bottom, and were as dark as an abyss. They were blocked everywhere, and some places were even cut off. The spiritual orifices were locked, and it was difficult for even essence and energy to pass through them, let alone magic power.

If the right side of Miko's body is a piece of unpolished jade, then the left side is just a pile of mud.

This talent for cultivation cannot be said to be outstanding, but at least it can be described as rotten and dead.

Moreover, he is the kind of rotten wood that would crumble into powder at the slightest touch. His talent is so poor that it is almost certain that he will not be able to embark on the path of cultivation.

Dong Ye Yu frowned slightly. His plan was disrupted and he didn't know what to do.

How can I practice if I can’t even achieve luck?
After thinking for a long time and unable to think of any solution, Dongye Yu looked at Yu Zi with some pity.

No wonder even the Cao Huan Dan couldn’t restore her to normal. It’s a miracle that this body can survive until now.

Miko noticed the change in Higashino Yu's expression and asked softly, "What's wrong, Higashino Nissan?"

"No, I've recovered very well. I have a Taoist scripture here that can help people calm down and enter a state of selfless meditation and forgetfulness. It's very helpful in cultivating one's sentiments. Do you want to learn it, Yuzi?"

Although it is impossible to refine essence into energy, there is no harm in learning the Qingjing Sutra. Sitting in forgetfulness can help people get rid of worries and also concentrate the soul.

Yu Zi has been in poor health for so many years, and her soul is weak. I will refine her soul first. When my cultivation level is higher in the future, maybe I can find a way to help her refine her essence into energy.

"Tao Jing?"

Yuko imitated Higashino Yu's accent with some difficulty and said the two Chinese words. She was a little confused and didn't know what they meant.

Dong Yeyu: ".Let me teach you Chinese characters first."
