I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 188 You Don’t Even Want to Call Me Your Highness

"Momofuyu?"

Why are you asking this?

Higashino Yu was somewhat puzzled by Miss Moon Witch's eccentric focus.

There are heavenly dogs, gods, and demons, but you don't ask about any of them and instead come to ask an ordinary little raccoon cat monster?
But even though he was confused, he still explained it patiently, not for anything else, just because of the heavy 300,000 yen.

Miss Moon Witch, it’s worth it!

"That girl is a very pitiful little raccoon monster. Her father and brother were killed by monsters. If she hadn't met the fleeing Hishizawa Water God on the way, she probably wouldn't have survived." Dongye Yu said.

According to Yuanjun, she was about to leave the fairyland when she met Taodong running alone in the fog. She saved him, and because she was seriously injured, she simply hid in Taodong's body and fell asleep.

Later, he was awakened during the battle in Fairyland and came out to save the raccoon cat clan. He also used his water control ability to prevent Uda Kagemasa from controlling Hishizawa.

On the surface, it seems like a lot of assists.

But if you think about it carefully, if this god had not fallen asleep when he escaped, but instead took Taodong directly to Izumo Taisha to file a complaint, or went directly to the East China Sea to find relatives for revenge, wouldn't there be less trouble later?

When the gods are sleeping, you can also sleep when you escape. This is what you have in this life.

The little raccoon cat Taodong has been helped by noble people many times, and his luck is quite good among the monsters in this island country.

It's a pity that she can't do anything and even transforms herself with difficulty. Otherwise it would be nice to bring her to Tokyo to be my helper.

When Asumi Sanae heard this, she nodded slightly, and calmly picked out Taodong and Yuanjun separately from the document, and asked softly while editing the information.

"How did Lord Dongye know her? Can I know?"

She said, and then added lightly: "The experience of humans and monsters getting along is also worth recording and studying."

Dong Ye Yu pondered for two seconds and briefly described the process.

"I had a breakthrough in my training before, and my spirit left my body and traveled hundreds of miles at night to an unknown area. I met her by chance, and she saved my life. Later, when I participated in the demon exorcism, I found that the place was Taoxiang, so I thought about finding her to repay her kindness. You also know the series of events that followed. Speaking of it, there is indeed fate."

fate?

Asumi Sanae paused, pursed her cherry-colored lips slightly, and typed a little louder: "Momofuyu, I'm sure she admires you very much, right? Didn't she come to Tokyo?"

"I do admire her, but she doesn't seem to have any plans to come to Tokyo. Her father and brother died tragically, and Taoxiang went through a disaster. Before I left, she told me that she wanted to inherit the family's hot spring hotel."

"In fact, even if she wanted to come, I wouldn't let her come. Her cultivation is not high, and she can't even transform completely. Now she has a raccoon head."

When Higashino Yu said this, the image of Taodong carrying a large bag when he turned back to his original form appeared in front of his eyes, and he laughed.

Asumi saw Sanae's eyes fall on Higashino Yu's face. Seeing such a smile, she inexplicably thought of her sister's smile when she was a child, and her hands became much softer as she typed.

"I heard that demon exorcists and monsters are as incompatible as light and darkness, but Mr. Higashino's attitude towards monsters doesn't seem to be like that."

Nonsense, I am a monster now, so it’s my attitude towards humans that is more worthy of questioning.

Dong Yeyu felt inexplicably funny.

"My thoughts on this actually depend on the individual. There is a line in Dream of the Red Chamber, one of the four great Chinese classics: 'People know the horror of ghosts, and ghosts know the viciousness of human hearts.' This world is neither completely dark to the point of despair, nor bright to the point of being so bright that all people and monsters are honest."

"Monsters and humans may be different in various ways, but they are both intelligent creatures, and most monsters have been influenced by human civilization and understand morality. There are kind monsters and vicious people in the world, and how to treat them depends on the specific situation."

"Of course, personally, I still suggest that you be more cautious towards monsters than humans. After all, they have more powerful strength than mortals, and the damage they can cause is much greater. You should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against them. The same applies to monsters."

So this is his attitude towards monsters. Then it is no surprise that he has the same attitude towards the little monster named Taodong.

Asumi saw Sanae's lips curled up with a proper smile, and her fair and slender hands flew over the keyboard, ending with a combination of enter and ctrl+s.

"That's a very pertinent comment. You are worthy of being a Knight of the Moon Kingdom."

She turned to look at Dong Yeyu, "But you are not even willing to call me Your Highness, my loyal knight."

What the hell are you doing? Are you trying to play the Godfather trick here?

Dong Ye Yu was speechless, and then he noticed a hint of smile in the girl's eyes as blue as polar ice, and was shocked.

The Moon Witch used to be very serious in front of him in order to maintain her image.

Your Highness! Can the Moon Witch smile? Her character has collapsed!

"Don't you think it's strange to insert such honorifics into your narration?"

The smile in the girl's eyes did not diminish as she stared at Dong Yeyu until he said helplessly, "Well, as you wish, my dear prince."

"What about the god named Yuanjun? Please describe him in detail."

At this point, she probably felt that this kind of character setting was somewhat inappropriate for the Moon Witch, so she said softly as if it didn't matter: "Although I am the owner of the Mirror Moon and have no interest in the gods of the Kingdom of Night, it is also very good as a research reference when I am bored."

"What can she say? She is a dragon from Shenzhou. As for why she came to this island country, I don't know. She is a female. Although she is pretty, she is nothing but a firefly compared to the brilliance of Your Highness. Her hobbies are sleeping and playing rotten. Her cultivation is wasted. She is now actively recruiting priests of the wronged species. That's about it. I don't know much about the others."

Higashino Yu told Asumi Sanae his impression of Yuanjun and some not very important information he knew.

Of course, the praises for Miss Moon Witch are naturally a bit biased. To be honest, Yuanjun's character and appearance can satisfy all the fantasies of the people of Shenzhou about the goddess.

However, even Zou Ji’s wives, concubines and guests knew that they were biased in their evaluations because they were asking for something from them, let alone myself as a member of society?

It seems that His Excellency the Knight is not very patient with this god.

Asumi Sanae thought to herself, and did not react to Higashino Yu's compliments. She just raised her head slightly, and twisted the golden hair hanging on the side of her face with her fair and slender hands.

"I heard that there is a monster haunting where you live? I want to go investigate tomorrow evening. Do you have time?"

News so soon? The Moon Witch is well-informed. Dong Yeyu thought for a moment and replied, "I did hear the news. A convenience store was attacked by a monster. It was said that it was a fox monster that used magic to scare people. Last night, a specialist from the Ministry of Religion, Culture, Science and Technology came to the convenience store to seal off the scene. Tomorrow, there will be no problem."

It happened that Duke Kobayashi's residence was closed on Friday, so I had some free time. It would have been difficult to go there today.

I have already skipped work for a week. If I don't go, I'm afraid I'll lose my job.

I will definitely have to quit this job in the future, but not now. It won’t be too late to quit after I pass the demon exorcist qualification exam and have a stable source of income.

Dong Ye Yu was really afraid of being poor. People said it was easy for time travelers to make money, but he had lived in an ivory tower for two lifetimes. There seemed to be many ways to make money, but in practice, each one was more confusing than the last.

All I can say is that there is some truth in the saying that people cannot earn money beyond their cognition.

Maybe you can make money by using sorcery, but that is not what a cultivator should do.

The old man was scared because of his responsibilities. He maliciously misunderstood Miko and made Miko sad with his attitude. He even went to old man Iori's house to ask him to apologize and provide some proof.

Everything happens for a reason. It's not excessive to give the offender a little punishment.

If you attack mortals for no reason and just to make money, then what is the difference between you and a demon? Not to mention whether it is detrimental to your moral integrity, you will probably not be able to justify killing others in the future.

As for robbing some ill-gotten gains, honestly speaking, it's hard to say how much money the gangs have these days. After robbing the money, they have to donate most of it in order to appease their own conscience. I feel it's better to accompany Miss Moon Witch to investigate monsters.

Thinking of this, Higashino Yu remembered the gift he had prepared for Asumi, so he told her about it.

"By the way, I bought some gifts for you at the Monster Market in Taoxiang. They are not expensive gifts, but some snacks made from spiritual fruits and flowers. They are not only delicious, but also good for the body. The express delivery will probably arrive tomorrow, and I will give it to you then."

"I'm very pleased that you thought of me at that time." Asumi Sanae said softly, but she didn't take out a few more stacks of Fukuzawa Yukichi from her bag.

Higashino Yu was a little disappointed, and then the two of them made an appointment to go to Kitayase to investigate after school tomorrow.

After Higashino Yu said goodbye and left, Asumi Sanae leaned on the armrest of her seat and looked at the information recorded on the computer document, thinking that when she collected enough information, she would make it into something like a monster encyclopedia.

Well, there are also gifts in return. Those snacks sold in the monster market must be magical things, right? Is it an equal gift in return?
The school bell rang outside. She closed her laptop, stood up and walked out of the activity room, looking not far away.

Dong Yeyu was walking slowly in the garden, occasionally picking a flower. This place was some distance away from the teaching building, so he probably thought that he was late anyway, so there was no rush?
The girl stroked the outer wall of the corridor, looking stunned.

Even when facing a small raccoon cat monster, he would take the trouble to repay the favor.

So if I make him owe me enough favors, can I make him accompany me to investigate monsters forever?
What could possibly make him owe her a favor? The girl thought absentmindedly, walked down the stairs with ease, and followed him slowly.

After reporting to Miss Moon Witch and receiving excess salary, Dongye Yu was in a very good mood.

Although the weather was not perfect, the flowers were still blooming beautifully.

When I returned to the classroom after a quick tour, the teacher had already started the class. The first class was math.

The teacher, Koji Kaga, graduated from the Department of Mathematics at the University of Tokyo. He is in his fifties and has the old-fashioned and serious demeanor of a person of the Showa generation. He never smiles and has a loud voice. He is known as the Iron-faced King in Tachibana High School.

Ahaha, you're late for picking up girls!
Arima Norimune was sitting in the back row, grinning and waiting to see the joke, but then he was shocked to find that the teacher just glanced at Higashino Yu, nodded, and told him to sit down.

I didn't expect that even Mr. Kaga would fall into the cliché and be charmed by the so-called halo of an excellent student.

Arima Norimune thought somewhat sadly.

At this moment, Teacher Kaga finished writing the questions, glanced at it, and saw Arima Norimune who was in a daze, so he pointed at him in the air.

"Arima-san, you will answer this question now."

Arima Norimune: ".Ah?"

After class, Arima Norimune, who was punished to stand outside the classroom, walked into the classroom covered in dust and faced the ridicule of his classmates, feeling extremely sad and angry.

He picked up the bamboo sword hanging on the side of the desk and started practicing kendo with the bamboo sword at the back of the classroom without wasting any time, looking very passionate about kendo.

But looking at the way he wields the bamboo sword, his progress is indeed amazing.

Arima Norimune was waving his sword while chatting with Dongye Yu: "Dongye, you've been asking for leave every day these past two days. Are you sick?"

"No, I went to do something more important."

Higashino Yu shook his head and borrowed Imagawa Kashiwagi's notebook, wanting to make up for the notes during the break.

Important things? Arima Norimune looked at the time, put away his bamboo sword, and sat back in his seat: "Do you need help?"

Dong Yeyu smiled at him and said, "Thank you, but it's done."

Arima Norimune nodded, then remembered something and smiled wickedly: "Now that I have finished my family affairs, I will be busy at school~"

"how?"

Imagawa Kashiwagi at the side explained with a smile: "On Monday, the class talked about holding a school anniversary cultural festival recently, and our class voted and decided to build a cafe."

Island country, cafe.

The key words directly triggered the otaku gene of Dong Yeyu. He looked around and whispered, "Maid cafe?"

Dongye! You are indeed a good friend with similar interests!
Arima Norimune sighed heavily, "We originally thought that by launching the Maid Café, we would be able to dominate the world and sweep Tachibana. Not only would we make a lot of money, but we would also be able to feast our eyes! Unfortunately, there were too many girls and bootlickers in the class, and our opponents were outnumbered and powerful, so we were defeated."

"It's just an ordinary coffee shop. It's pretty good."

The school that Higashino Yu attended in junior high school was a relatively poor public school in Kyoto. Things like cultural festivals were all perfunctorily handled, which really dampened the expectations that had been brewing for two lifetimes from watching anime in his previous life.

"That would be fine if it were so."

Arima Norimune was filled with deep sorrow, not daring to look at Higashino Yu: "Then the thieves will pursue us and beat us all the way. We will be defeated. The maid cafe will be changed into a male butler cafe."

what?
Dong Yeyu was stunned at the time. You Ma, why don't you change your name to Ma Su? I just left for a few days, and you guys lost Jieting?
