I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 195: Must I repay a favor with my own body?

If Dong Yeyu didn't know that this person didn't know that he was a monster, he would probably ask at this time: "Why don't you explain it more clearly."

However, even if it is used to deal with other monsters, this is a bit too extreme.

Strictly speaking, this crow monster was captured because of himself. If it died because of this, it would be quite contradictory to what he had always believed - at least in his understanding, petty theft was not a capital crime.

And the revenge for the provocation and pecking of Xiuji's feathers has been taken.

Dong Yeyu frowned slightly and pondered for two seconds.

The reason why I think this way is not because of the words of the lame man just now, but because now the monster will be sentenced to death for stealing something. In other words, doesn't it mean that any crime greater than or equal to petty theft is also punishable by death for the monster?
I used to think that Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami was extreme, but now I feel that the island government is even more extreme than these demon hunters.

If one day I am accidentally discovered to be a monster, I will probably just start the battle royale mode.

After thinking for a while, he persuaded: "Vice Minister Takigawa, this monster's cultivation can already be called a great monster. Although it seems that she is not very good at practicing magic, she can quickly become a fighting force if you teach her a few things. Tokyo is now undercurrent, and it is urgent to increase the power to maintain order. Don't you plan to take her as a shikigami?"

"I would like to take it, but look, Higashino-kun, which of the action specialists in my class has a shikigami?"

Takigawa Tadahiro looked helpless, and glanced at Higashino Yu, a little surprised: "Don't you know that this kind of magic is a secret technique? Only some great demon exorcist families have inherited it, and it is never passed on to others."

No wonder I didn’t see any spells for signing a contract with a shikigami at the Iori family.

Dong Yeyu seemed to be thinking about something and shook his head, "I don't know."

Thinking back to what I had seen in Momogo Town before, there were indeed only a few demon hunters who had shikigami following them, and they were basically from large families.

Seeing Dong Ye Yu shaking his head, Takigawa Tadahiro was stunned for a moment, "Excuse me, which demon hunter family does Dong Ye-kun come from?"

"I was born in an orphanage. I chose to be a demon hunter because I had some talent since I was young." Dong Ye Yu replied.

An orphan? It is rare for a person of this age to have such a high level of cultivation in a big family. I didn't expect that he would have such an identity.

Takigawa Tadahiro was stunned, and several operations specialists who were pulling the net rope to drag the crow monster out of the convenience store also looked sideways. The famous sword in his hand and the magic spells he cast were not something an orphan could touch.

"But, Dongye-kun, did you learn this magic by yourself?"

Dong Yeyu waved his hand and said, "That happened later. I came to Tokyo to study and was taken care of by Mr. Iori Tadamichi. He saw that I was on the path of a demon slayer and was worried that I would be harmed by demons, so he gave me the famous sword of the Iori family and lent me the family heirlooms to read."

Isn't this because they see you as the next generation of the Lord of God? Takigawa Tadahiro twitched his lips. Could it be that you want to take the inheritance and the famous sword and run away?

There is no such good thing in the world.

He stroked his chin, his eyes fixed on the crow monster that was bound by the magic chains and net ropes, and spoke as if chatting.

"The couple from the Iori family were my juniors. However, I was an operations specialist at the time and was not in the same class, so I don't know much about them. I only heard that they were killed by monsters. No wonder the old man is worried about you. Do they have a little granddaughter? I forgot her name, but she seems to be about the same age as you?"

Why are you saying this? Dong Yeyu was a little confused and corrected him: "Two or three years younger than me."

Listening to your tone, someone who doesn't know would think you are 20 or 30 years younger. Takigawa Tadahiro glanced sideways: "Isn't that just right?"

"Ok?"

"Don't you know what it means to accept a family's heirloom sword and family classics?"

Takigawa Tadahiro smiled meaningfully and patted Higashino Yu on the shoulder: "People should know how to repay kindness, so that they can go further."

"Does it take a lifetime to repay a favor?"

As a professional fox that repays favors, Higashino Yu's evaluation is completely stereotypical, as if in ancient vernacular stories, monsters mostly repay favors by promising themselves to the person they are repaying, especially foxes, which are the hardest hit area for YY by sour scholar-like novelists.

It has always been like this, is that right?

Moreover, Higashino Yu took the time to imagine the scene of walking into the marriage hall with the petite Miko, and shook his head.

Although he has feelings for Miko, they are mostly like feelings for a younger sister, and he has no intention of falling in love or getting married.

Besides, if a fox marries a human, after a few decades it will be left with only the withered vines and old trees, right?
Takigawa Tadahiro shook his head slightly. "The Iori family has been priests of the Inari Shrine for generations. They have no shortage of food or clothing. Higashino-kun, what can you give in return besides inheriting the Iori family name? It is the most difficult to repay a favor that comes from humble beginnings. In this case, you either don't take it. If you can't help but take it, you will be ungrateful and I am afraid you will be condemned by thousands of people."

Deputy Minister Takigawa has been in the political arena for many years, but he is still too worldly. He assumes the worst of everyone in the world, but he never thinks that there are people as upright as Mr. Iori in the world, nor does he know that there are such things as the repaying fox in the world.

Dong Ye Yu smiled and said nothing.

The two strolled out of the messy convenience store. The street was littered with broken glass and a few apples rolled in the middle of the street. A few specialists drove the white van over. When the headlights were shone, the ground suddenly became sparkling and glittering, like a galaxy on the ground.

They seemed to want to put Sayuri into the car, but after looking at it, it seemed that she couldn't fit in, so they called for support and asked the Mobile Division to send another large truck.

The lame middle-aged man became even more agitated after taking the tranquilizing and exorcising pills. Two tall and strong action specialists rushed forward and pinned him down, pressing his head on the asphalt road and twisting his hands behind his back.

Click!

A pair of silver handcuffs were put on.

"The functions of the Mobile Unit and the police overlap a lot, and we also have higher-level law enforcement powers. After all, we face demons directly and encounter more emergencies."

When Takigawa Tadahiro saw that Higashino Yu was looking over there with some confusion, he gave a brief explanation.

Furukawa Osamu was pinned to the ground, unable to move. He could only yell and scream with his face red and finally burst into tears.

"Please let her go. She has never hurt anyone. I promise. I was the one who ordered them to steal. Our family has been living like rats, and in the end you want to take my daughter away."

"It's okay, sir. We won't do anything to it. We'll just detain it temporarily and release it after we find out the truth." The operations specialist who held him down kept comforting him with calm words.

However, Furukawa Osamu didn't believe what these people said. When he was carried out just now, he vaguely heard the man named Takigawa say that he wanted to kill Sayuri!

Why? Why?
Just stealing some supermarket goods will be killed? Those bigwigs can steal the wealth of the people and enjoy themselves in peace? This is not fair.

Although Sayuri was just a girl he picked up from nowhere, and even looked like a monster now, Furukawa Osamu didn't care about that.

Apart from the fact that her method of searching for the way to turn into a swallow is a bit strange and her words to others are somewhat impolite and disrespectful, she is actually a very gentle child.

At first, the old lady at home was hungry in the middle of the night and said she wanted to eat oden, so she went out to the convenience store and stole a portion of oden.

She has already been recognized by the Furukawa family and is a member of the Furukawa family. As the head of the Furukawa family, I naturally have to save her!

Thinking about how his family was chatting at home last night about going to the beach in the summer, and how today they were going to be separated forever, Furukawa Osamu found strength from somewhere and suddenly leaped forward, pushing the two action specialists to stagger, and threw himself onto the net rope that was holding Fei Yi, biting it with his teeth and shouting.

"Sayuri! Run!"

Fei Yi was trapped by Dong Ye Yu's magic chain and could not move. He just looked at him with misty eyes.

The boy called Shota squatted in the shadow of a corner of the convenience store, holding his head and trembling.

Many residents heard the sound of glass breaking due to the strong wind. Some came out of the houses, and some turned on the lights and looked down from the upper floors.

Their eyes had not been baptized by magic power, nor were they affected by evil spirits, so they could not see the monster, but only saw a lame middle-aged man going crazy.

Two operations specialists subdued Furukawa Osamu again, and the other two female operations specialists walked towards the citizens, showing them their police credentials and saying, "Citizens, please return home and wait for further notification. There have been some violent terrorist attacks here, and it is very dangerous."

Higashino Yu was somewhat moved by this scene and wanted to ask Takigawa Tadahiro to hand over the monster to him for disposal, but the other party would definitely take the monster back to report, so this proposal was obviously impossible to be agreed to.

After pondering for a moment, he gave an opinion as a second best option.

"Vice Minister Takigawa, why don't we lock this monster up first? Once we find out that it has no other crimes, selling it to one of the great demon exorcist families would be a good option."

"This kind of big monster usually has first-class magic and combat power. Even some great demon hunters find it difficult to catch it without the opportunity. I believe that those families with secret skills are willing to pay a high price to buy it."

When Higashino Yu said this, he inexplicably thought of the human form that the monster transformed into and felt a little strange.

The little devil junior high school student who likes to call his seniors "trash" was caught stealing goods from a supermarket, was forced to be detained and eventually became a slave?

Takigawa Tadahiro didn't rush to speak. He took out two cigarettes, handed one to Higashino Yu, and waved his hand when he saw him.

"Higashino-kun doesn't smoke? That's fine."

He clamped his ear, held a cigarette in his mouth, and covered it with his hand. The flame of the lighter lit up, and after a moment, a puff of green smoke rose up, and the sparks of the cigarette turned into an orange-red halo in the night.

"Higashino-kun doesn't know that our Mobile Section 3 hasn't been able to handle the demon disasters that have occurred in Tokyo in recent times. The last Nekomata incident killed many people and caused quite a stir. It was said that in the end it was the eldest daughter of the Jinguji family and a young demon exorcist who solved the problem."

"Katsushika is in trouble with kappas, Setagaya is haunted. Tokyo is a big city, so it seems that there won't be much peace for a few days. Many ministers in the cabinet have complained about this, and some have said they want to cut the financial allocation to the Ministry of Religion, Culture, and Science. The higher-ups have refuted this, but it has also put a lot of pressure on the various mobile departments under us."

"In this situation, we need a big monster's head like this to shut them up."

Takigawa Tadahiro held a cigarette and pointed at Fei Yi's head.

A weak mortal with a lifespan of no more than a hundred years can decide the fate of a great monster who has practiced hard for hundreds of years in a casual conversation.

Dong Ye Yu fell silent, feeling a sense of grief over the death of a bird, even though the monster in front of him had previously pecked off Xiu Ji's feathers and clamored to drive him away from the small apartment on the third floor that he had rented.

Or, let it go first and then catch it back, and let Yuanjun take it to Lingze for discipline?

Dong Yeyu thought about it and shook his head.

Not very good. Yuanjun's female dragon is lazy and stingy. She might team up with this crow to form a pair of female thieves in Lingze, eating for free, visiting amusement parks without buying tickets, stealing things and so on.

That's a dragon that's as fast as a fairy. If it gets led astray by this crow, who can stop it? Just thinking about it makes me feel dizzy.

Let her be the protector of Miko? Xiuji, this bird, didn't practice hard, and her cultivation level is not high. She is useless except that she can fly fast and recognize the road. It's still a little bit lacking in protecting Miko.

For ordinary people, the sentencing for theft is up to three years and ten years in prison depending on the amount of theft. She stole some food from the supermarket, and the amount was huge. Because she was a monster, her crime was three times more severe. She was made a bodyguard for thirty years before being set free.

Anyway, for monsters, thirty years is just a blink of an eye. What's more, he might be able to contact Haruhara, the messenger of God, through Miko. It is hard to say whether it is a punishment or an opportunity.

Just as they were about to take action, a thick fog suddenly came from nowhere and covered the area around the convenience store. The fog came very quickly, and at first they felt a chill around them. Within a few breaths, they couldn't see their hands in front of them.

"This fog is abnormal. Be alert! Be alert."

Takigawa Tadahiro only had time to give this order before he was engulfed by the fog. Although the other operations specialists knew to be on alert, they didn't know who to be on alert for or how to be on alert, so they were swallowed up by the white fog with confused faces.

Fei Yi had already accepted her fate, but the sudden thick fog gave her some hope, as long as she could break the chains!
I want to become a swallow, before that.
She clenched her beak and struggled hard, but the chain made purely of magic power was as solid as a rock and did not move at all no matter how hard she struggled.

Is this made by Chun Yuan?
Dong Ye Yu felt the breath of the white mist and felt a little strange. Could it be that this white mist was a skill exclusive to gods?
However, the opportunity was rare, and Chun Yuan's action showed that she also recognized this crow monster, so she decisively cut off the supply of mana that bound Sayuri's divine chain. Once the spell was broken, the restraint disappeared.

Fei Yi used his wings to cut through the net rope and hurriedly grabbed Furukawa Osamu. Relying on his memory, he carefully flew over and grabbed him, and sure enough, Shota was squatting there without moving!
"Shh, don't talk, go home first."

She was somewhat delighted and whispered a warning. Shota, who was about to scream, quickly covered his mouth. Furukawa Osamu was still in shock and wanted to wipe the sweat off his face with his hands, but found that he was still handcuffed.

Fei Yi flapped his wings and flew high into the sky. Only when he was completely safe did he finally feel like he had escaped death.

There were few stars in the night sky, scattered here and there. The clouds looked like solid silver-gray under the moonlight. The prosperous Tokyo was dotted with stars and bright lights, like the Milky Way on the ground. Both of them were captivated by the beauty that they had never seen before.

Fei Yi just looked back. The fog covering the block had dissipated a lot. He could vaguely see the young man through the remaining mist. He was standing there looking up at him.

Don't think I'll thank you.
