I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 187: After three days away, is it still the same after returning?

It is about one or two subway stops away from Inari Shrine, near the residential area of ​​Tachibanahata Nishi Elementary School in Adachi Ward.

This place is close to the edge of Adachi Ward. The blocks and buildings appear to be older than those in Kitaayase, and the streets are not very clean. Cigarette butts and miscellaneous items can be found in the corners of the streets and alleys.

But even so, there is still an old house that does not fit in with the surrounding residential houses, as if it had traveled through time from the last century.

This is a wooden bungalow that looks like it was built in the mid-to-late Meiji era. Part of it has collapsed due to years of disrepair, and the owner doesn't seem to have any plans to repair it.

The area is not large, only about 70 square meters. The outer wall was built by the government and looks quite decent. There is a wooden nameplate hanging on it with the word "Guchuan" written on it.

The lights were still on in the house, and from time to time a thin-faced middle-aged man would stick his head out and look outside the door, as if he was waiting for someone.

He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the little girl in a black dress emerged from the darkness. He hurried forward to open the door, looking around outside the yard and speaking to the little girl.

"Sayuri, come in quickly."

When the girl entered the yard, her expression was completely different from when she was outside during the day. She raised her head slightly, with a hint of irritation in her eyes, as if she was impatient with everyone she looked at. Her face was washed very clean, and she still looked as delicate as a piece of jade under the dim light from the edge not far away.

She frowned: "How many times have I told you that my name is Fei Yi, not Sayuri."

The man smiled awkwardly, did not answer, but limped into the house behind the girl on his crutches.

The layout of the old house is very simple. There is a foyer as you enter the door, and to the right is a cramped kitchen. There is a small vegetable patch outside where crops such as onions and leeks are planted.

To the left is a nightmare fusion combination of living room + dining room + bedroom + toilet and bathroom.

The space is actually not small, about 40 square meters, but these 40 square meters can accommodate a closet, an shrine, a desk, a tatami, a toilet, and a bathroom.

It seems a bit crowded, but the furnishings are quite neat. Some places are decorated with cute little objects in a girly way, and on the edge hangs a glass wind chime bought from a small vendor.

There was little dust on the furniture and other objects in the room, and it looked like someone cleaned it regularly. The old objects were well maintained and had a medieval feel.

There was a lit incense stick in front of the shrine on the cabinet, and the smoke formed a smooth and quiet gray mist belt. The warm yellow light of the incandescent lamp shone on it. There was a quiet shadow on the wooden wall at the other end, which was unexpectedly warm.

There were four people in the room, of varying ages.

A white-haired old lady in her seventies leaned against the wall with her head lowered in a daze, her lower body covered with a thin blanket, and she held a fan in her hand and occasionally fanned the sleeping girl in her arms.

The girl looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, high school age, with a pretty face, but she was restless when sleeping, so the old lady had to cover her with a blanket often.

There was a boy about twelve years old lying in the closet with blurry eyes. He seemed to be about to fall asleep but he was trying hard not to fall asleep.

It looks like a happy family situation with three generations living under one roof, but now they are so poor that it really cannot be called a happy family life.

A woman in her thirties poked her head out from behind an old curtain that was hung in the room to separate the space. Seeing the girl coming in, she smiled and waved at her: "Sayuri, come and sleep with me."

"No. And my name is Fei Yi."

The little girl said coldly, then looked at the old lady: "Why aren't you sleeping yet? You're so old, be careful you might die one day."

Fei Yi's tone was not polite at all. After saying that, he crawled into the old lady's bed and squeezed together with the girl who was about sixteen or seventeen years old.

"Aki, go inside and sleep a little."

The girl opened her eyes dazedly when she heard the voice, looked around, and subconsciously covered Fei Yi with a thin blanket.

The old lady was not forgiving. "You little bitch, you keep cursing me to death. When I die, you won't have any pension to use. You will end up living on the streets."

"That's great, I'll find someone else to ask for the method of turning into a swallow." Fei Yi snorted, "After talking for so long, you still don't know how to turn into a swallow."

"It's not easy for a person to turn into a swallow. You have to wait until you grow up a little bit."

I'm not a human. Fei Yi crawled into the old lady's arms, found a comfortable position and lay down, with a cold expression on his face: "I don't believe it, unless you show it to me."

“I’m too old to change.”

"Aji, Shouta, Nobuyo, Aki, they don't age, and they can't change?"

"They can't. Only I can change. But you little bastard is rude. I don't want to teach you."

"Then I won't bring you any food."

"Hey, I have a pension, and you're staying here for free."

Fei Yi stopped talking, and the old lady smiled, "Okay, we are a family, what do we say?"

He patted Fei Yi's little head and fanned him more frequently.

The young man in the closet rubbed his eyes, looked at Fei Yi, then looked at the middle-aged man who came in from behind, with a questioning look on his face.

The middle-aged man smiled and shook his head, just put his index finger to his mouth, then limped behind the curtain. He and the woman were husband and wife, although there was no marriage certificate.

Fei Yi closed his eyes after crawling into bed.

Tick.

The old lady pulled the rope that controlled the light switch, and the room fell into darkness. The breathing of several people gradually became steady, and they seemed to have fallen asleep.

At this time, Fei Yi opened his eyes in the darkness.

"I'll go check out other convenience stores tomorrow. The police are at the previous one, and there was a fox monster causing trouble there just now."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room opened their eyes and started talking in the darkness, as if it was a family chat late at night.

The middle-aged man Furukawa Osamu asked curiously: "Fox monster? What does it look like?"

"Just like that, a very ugly white fox that can set fires. It caused a big commotion in the convenience store before. It just left when I went there."

"Sayuri, you haven't been targeted by that monster, have you?" the young man asked with concern.

"No, there were so many people there and I hid far away. And my name is Fei Yi, not Sayuri."

The little girl's voice became impatient, "If you call me wrong again, I'll beat you up."

No one in the family doubted her words. There have been many rumors about monsters in Tokyo recently. Even the little girl named Feiyi, who Azhi picked up from Mount Takao and always wanted to turn into a swallow, had some strange things about her.

It’s just that we are all rats abandoned by society and living in the gutter, snuggling together for warmth.

Although Fei Yi was rude in his words, he was aware of the difficulties at home and often brought back ingredients for Xindai to cook delicious food. Sometimes he would also bring back a lot of money.

In this case, what's wrong with having some special abilities? We are already a family, so is there still a distinction between normal people and abnormal people?

"By the way, Azhi, how's the roof?" Fei Yi asked.

Furukawa Osamu sighed: "It doesn't look good. I found a piece of wood to support the beam today, but I don't know how long it will last."

"How much does it cost to hire someone to repair it?"

He didn't answer, but Fei Yi understood, thought about it, and said, "I've found a house, we'll move in a couple of days."

It's just that dead pigeon with a bad mouth. I've never heard of the Lord of Dongye City. It's probably not a good thing for him to be hanging out with that pigeon monster. I'll drive them all away when the time comes!
Fei Yi made a decision in his mind.

The little girl often brings unexpected surprises, sometimes even beyond ordinary people's understanding. The few of them have long been accustomed to it, so there are no doubts.

Furukawa Osamu advised: "Don't force it. We can set up a tent in the yard. It is more important than anything else for the whole family to be together in peace and happiness."

Nobuyo Furukawa thought carefully: "The food we have now will be enough for us to eat for several days. Tomorrow I will look for work that can be done. Aji's leg injury will probably be healed soon. By then I can earn some extra money and repair the house first. We can go to the beach in the summer."

"Going to Enoshima?"

"I think it's okay. We can also stop by Yasaka Shrine to pay our respects. There have been many rumors about monsters in the city recently."

The family members in the room were talking to each other as they made plans for the upcoming summer with chirping cicadas. The old lady had a satisfied smile on her face. Fei Yi listened while looking out the window on the wall.

The house was too short. At first glance, all I could see were the residential buildings standing in the darkness like giants. I couldn't see the bustling neon lights of Tokyo. I had to look up to see the starless night sky.

The moon is very bright tonight. If you keep practicing like this, you will become a swallow one day.

Fei Yi thought hopefully, in the void that no one in the room could see, there was a silver ribbon like a line hanging from the moon into the dim room.

Time, 7:30 a.m. Thursday.

Weather, cloudy,

Location: Tachibana Private High School, the activity room of the Supernatural Exploration Editorial Department, also known as the Moon Witch's Palace in the Kingdom of Darkness.

The interior and ceiling of the mobile classroom, which is as big as two classrooms, are still playing the 8K original-level palace video in a loop.

The floor is made of marble that can be used as a mirror. There is a round table and several mysterious-style chairs. The whole classroom is filled with the smell of money.

"It was only a moment, Your Highness. You may have seen more spectacular things, but it was still spectacular. Sand and stones were flying, the earth was flooded with devastating waters, and the thunder of nature kept falling."

Higashino Yu stood up and performed diligently, describing vividly the fairyland scene during the battle with Uda Keimasa, like a dancing mara.

I have talked with gods, drank with monsters, and fought with demons, but in the end I still have to return to Fu Loli. After all, life must go on.

From time to time, she would ignite fox fire in her hands, or pick up a damaged chair leg to use it to slay demons, in order to increase the rendering power - after all, Miss Moon Witch knew that she was a demon hunter, so if she worked harder, she would have more reason to ask for salary.

"Please speak more slowly."

Asumi Sanae sat in the first seat, listening and typing on the keyboard, recording this precious and real experience, while pushing a thick white envelope towards Higashino Yu.

So tired!
This thickness!
Higashino Yu has been in the world for many years and has developed a pair of sharp eyes. He can tell at a glance that there is at least 300,000 yen in the envelope.

His emotions were aroused at that moment, and he described the situation in more detail, while in his heart he couldn't stop praising Miss Moon Witch.

At the same time, I cursed the island government in my heart, saying it was the modern-day Zhou Baopi. I worked so hard to help these politicians clean up the mess, but I didn't know how much money I could get.

I can only hope that Miss Jinguji can be more capable, otherwise it would be funny if the salary given by her is not even as good as that given by Miss Moon Witch.

"So the result is that, with the help of the seven righteous demons and the thunder of the gods of the Eastern Heaven, the evil gods are punished, the lazy gods are taught a lesson and will work hard, the raccoon cats and demon exorcists are rescued, and the fairyland returns to peace?"

“You summed it up very succinctly and clearly.”

"You have met so many monsters. Have any of them mentioned a girl named Asumi Ruri?"

Meeting Liuli tomorrow? Sounds like a relative of Miss Moon Witch. Could it be that she is interested in monsters just to find her family?
Dong Yeyu pondered in his heart and shook his head: "No."

"not even one?"

"not even one."

Ming Ri saw Sanae lower her butterfly-wing eyes after hearing this, nodded with some disappointment, and was silent for a while before asking again.

"The Jinguji judge said that the fox monster is your shikigami. Is this true or false?"

"real."

"In other words, you played a pivotal role in this incident?"

Dong Yeyu coughed and said, "I think you can describe it as a white jade pillar that supports the sky and a purple gold beam that spans the sea."

There is no need to act too calm in front of Rich Loli. Just maintain a certain degree and show yourself well within this degree. This way, you can get more gold coins.

The blonde girl sitting at the top seat nodded thoughtfully, "Have you really had a conversation with God?"

"Yes, that is a female god named Yuanjun, who hopes that I can stay in Taoxiang and serve as a priest for her."

Dongye Yu modified some things that could not be seen in the light among a lot of truths. Some of these things were known to Miss Moon Witch, which was not a good thing for her.

Mingri saw Sanae didn't seem to care when she heard that. Her eyes were still on the computer screen. Her slender white fingers kept tapping the keyboard as if she was modifying something. She asked casually, "So, you agree?"

"No, I have already pledged my allegiance to Miss Moon Witch. How can I switch to someone else's side? Even if it's God!"

Dong Yeyu's words are powerful and his loyalty is beyond words!

That was a genuine invitation from God. Asumi Sanae was stunned for a second and looked at the boy beside her.

Dong Yeyu no longer regarded the girl as someone to be fooled. He just laughed and said, "Actually, it's because the god is lazy and I don't want to be her laborer."

Sometimes being sincere can have a better effect than lying.

The girl just looked at Dong Ye Yu. Her icy blue eyes, like glass, were filled with starlight, and there was a clear light that seemed to shine into people's hearts.

After a long time, she nodded slightly, said nothing else, and did not increase the salary.

Has my knight reached this point?

Mingri saw that Sanae appeared calm on the surface, but her heart was actually filled with ripples. She tapped the envelope with her slender fingers to calm herself down.

As a follower of the Moon Witch, only with such strength can one not bring shame to the Mirror Moon.

The girl looked through the recorded information and then keenly spotted a few characters whose names and descriptions were interesting.

"My dear knight, who is Taodong?"

Ahaha, I have reached one thousand monthly votes! Thank you for your support, I will prepare, starting from September 7th, I will reach six thousand!
