I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 196 The First Bucket of Sustainable Development Gold

Fei Yi grabbed the two of them and landed on a deserted street.

Although it is said to be uninhabited, there are actually no uninhabited places in Tokyo, and it is only relative.

Fei Yi has spiritual power, and ordinary people cannot see her, but Furukawa Osamu and Shota cannot. If someone sees them, they will probably take a photo and post it on Tiktak, and label it with a horror title like "Tokyo's Dark Fear" to get a lot of traffic for a day or two.

But there was nothing he could do after being discovered. Fei Yi was in a complicated mood and was too lazy to care about all these things. After putting the two people down, he did not choose to use magic to continue transforming into the appearance of a little girl. He just turned around silently and prepared to fly away.

Shota sat on the ground, looking somewhat frightened, not daring to look at Feiyi.

Furukawa Osamu saw Tobi who was about to leave and asked hurriedly, "Sayuri, I haven't taught you how to turn into a swallow yet, where are you going?"

Fei Yi rarely emphasized the name issue, nor did he turn around, but just said softly: "Go home."

"Your home is the Furukawa family, you flew to the wrong place."

"I am a monster."

"What's the big deal? Who cares? Your mother is just a laundry worker, I'm an injured odd-job worker, your grandmother is a retired vicious old woman who blackmailed Fukuzawa Yukichi from her ex-husband's son who is not related to her by blood, your sister is going to have to starve after not being able to go to college, your brother..."

Furukawa Osamu said this, looking at Shota who lowered his head.

"Shota, he's just freaked out."

Didn't say anything, just rubbed his head.

"Sayuri, you are the daughter of the Furukawa family. No one can deny that. Come home. We will go to the beach in Enoshima in the summer and eat the cheap seafood there. We agreed on that."

As Furukawa Osamu spoke, his tone was almost begging. The light from the street lamp was dim, and the expression on his face was mostly submerged in the shadows, but the brilliance in his eyes could not be concealed.

Fei Yi was silent for a few seconds, and gray smoke surrounded the body that was almost the size of a car. After the smoke disappeared, a little girl in a rustic black dress stood there.

"Let's go. If you don't go back, the old woman will be anxious."

"You fool, you dare to come to my Dongye City. Now you know how powerful I am, ahahahahaha!!!"

Xiuji laughed in the direction where Sayuri was leaving, but did not dare to fly up to stop her.

Such a scene might seem a little strange and funny to the action specialists who had more contact with monsters, but at this moment they just thought that the pigeon was noisy.

Takigawa Tadahiro was fine. He had been working in the mobile department for almost twenty years and had encountered many situations like this, so he was mentally prepared.

The other specialists were all very young. Some of them went to maintain order and wait for the police to take over, while others lowered their heads to pack up the net ropes and clean up some talismans and formations that were used to ambush the crow monster called Sayuri in the convenience store.

After lying in ambush for several days, I finally caught a big fish, but in the end I watched the cooked duck fly away, and my year-end bonus probably flew away with it.

Most people were very dejected and the scene was deserted, without the excitement of the previous victory.

"I'm sorry, my magic wasn't sophisticated enough and the monster still escaped." Dong Ye Yu showed a helpless look.

Takigawa Tadahiro took a deep breath, and the smoldering sparks from the cigarette in his mouth spread upwards at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a moment, he exhaled a puff of green smoke.

"Higashino-kun has done his best. If you were not here tonight, I don't know how many people our Mobile Section 3 would have lost."

Haruhara didn't say yes, and Higashino Yu didn't want to tell them directly that it was Gozen Inari from the local shrine who did it, so he just gave them a reminder.

"This fog is very unique. I wonder if Vice Minister Takigawa has noticed that it seems to block the five senses. Such a unique fog should be recorded in a place like an archive room?"

I think the Ministry of Religion, Culture, Science and Technology, as the official unit of the island government that deals with the supernatural world, should have some knowledge and be able to recognize that this was the work of God and then back off.

Takigawa Tadahiro nodded slightly. "This kind of unexpected incident is inevitable after dealing with these monsters many times. I will check the information when I go back to see what the fog is from. I think it should be the monster's accomplice."

"It's a pity indeed. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first. If you need any help with this matter later, you can call me."

Dong Ye Yu checked the time on his phone, bowed slightly and said goodbye, without mentioning the bonus or certificate - the monster had run away, so the bonus was naturally gone.

Looking for some compensation from Chunyuan?
Higashino Yu shook his head without thinking, he should be more open-minded. When he went to Momogo Town before, people gave him a life-saving wind chime.

Although it was not used in the end, now that the Demon Thunder Flag is gone, the wind chime can be considered a means of preserving his life.

Going to someone's house to ask for compensation just for a small bonus is too mercenary. Am I such a person, Fox?

"Hitsuno-kun, wait a moment."

Takigawa Tadahiro called him and took out about twenty Fukuzawa Yukichi notes from his not-so-thick wallet. The wallet was suddenly half empty, with only a few bank cards left.

"Tonight, Dongye-kun really helped us a lot. Although the monster finally ran away, everyone is safe. This money is my personal reward to Dongye-kun."

As he spoke, he squeezed the small stack of Fukuzawa Yukichi in his hand and said, "I don't have any white envelopes right now. I'm really sorry, but it's just a token of my love. Please accept it."

"How embarrassing!"

Higashino Yu shook his head righteously, reached out and took out ten sheets, folded them and put them in his trouser pocket, and said seriously: "If there is such a thing in the future, Vice Minister Takigawa can call me. I will be at Ayasezaka in ten minutes. In Tokyo, my shikigami will be there in ten minutes."

The story of Zigong redeeming a man tells us that we must ask for appropriate rewards when doing good deeds. This is the teaching of the saints and we must listen to it.

As for taking only ten, it’s not that I’m being pretentious.

If a demon was captured and Takigawa Tadahiro and his men got the credit, I would definitely not be polite. It would not be enough to take it all and I would have to ask for more.

But now the monster ran away. Although Chunyuan was responsible, it was indeed I who let it run away on purpose. It would not be appropriate to charge so much money.

If we give him a small sum of 100,000 yuan and do him a favor, he will have to thank us.

In the future, whenever Takigawa Tadahiro encounters problems, he will come to me again, and I will charge him a suitable reward at that time. Isn't this the first pot of sustainable development money for his wealth?
When Takigawa Tadahiro saw that he accepted the money and made such a promise, he was immediately overjoyed. This was a demon hunter who subdued a big monster single-handedly.

Although the monster Sayuri is a little weak, her strength should not be underestimated.

To get such a promise from a demon hunter, the 100,000 yen was well worth it. The cloud of gloom that had been shrouded by the failure of the mission suddenly cleared up, and a smile appeared on his face: "Then I'm afraid I'll have to ask Higashino-kun for a lot of things in the future."

"It's my duty." Dong Yeyu patted the money in his pocket, smiled and said goodbye.

Although this young man was born an orphan, he has already shown his talent. Takigawa Tadahiro sighed as he looked at his back, then turned back to look at his dejected subordinates and laughed.

"Hey, Aoki, Hirakawa, stop working for now and take a rest." He called the action specialists who were cleaning up the talismans in the convenience store to come over, and asked them to pass out cigarettes one by one and squat on the side of the road to smoke together. Some female specialists who were trying to dissuade the citizens turned around and saw them squatting here smoking, and rolled their eyes.

"Women's opinions, ignore them."

Tadahiro Takigawa began to pass on the experience gained from his predecessors.

"What's the big deal? You all look so dejected. You have to know that it's a blessing to be alive and smoking here tonight. We were..."

After saying goodbye to Takigawa Tadahiro, Higashino Yu walked towards the apartment as if taking a stroll, while asking Xiuji who was jumping beside him.

"I see you are very brave in challenging the enemy, why don't you give chase?"

"Reporting to the Lord."

Xiuji folded his wings, bowed first, then shook his head and talked.

"Xiuji has been studying military strategy recently and has grasped the essence of the phrase 'Don't pursue an enemy who is desperate'."

As it spoke, it stretched out its wings and pointed to the night sky: "My lord, look, that fellow still has enough energy to kidnap two accomplices, and he has not been seriously injured. He has a clear plan for advance and retreat, his flag has not fallen, and his soldiers' steps and wheels are not in disorder. I am afraid there is an ambush. If the eunuchs recklessly pursue him, his elite ambushers will all come out. At that time, our army will suffer casualties, but the reputation of my lord and Dongye City will be tarnished!"

"So, I have to thank you for your wisdom in seeing through her plan?"

Dong Ye Yu looked calm. Although he felt it was a pity and pitiful that such a big monster who had practiced hard for hundreds of years was killed just for stealing something, Chun Yuan's action was an indirect proof that the monster had not done anything evil, so he felt relieved and deliberately let her go.

But it is a fact that the old pigeon Xiu Ji was on the sidelines the whole time and was of no use except for shouting.

With such poor cultivation, it would be a question whether I could return safely after going out to visit my benefactors.

What if when passing by a mountain, the local monster suddenly wanted to eat old pigeons stewed with mushrooms, with his abilities, wouldn't he be able to deliver the takeaway to the monster's door?
Dong Yeyu snorted coldly.

"This time when I go back, in addition to the time you usually spend escorting Yuzi to and from school, you will start practicing at sunset and can rest until sunrise. Once your foundation of practice is solid, I will prepare new methods and spells for you. Remember?"

Even if he starts practicing hard now, it will take five to ten years to increase his strength. He can't expect it in a short period of time, but he has to have the right attitude.

"I obey your command." Xiuji bowed habitually at first, then he reacted and immediately widened his eyes.

What about the Gongming Taikoden?
Without Taiko Chuan, there would be no Xiuji today!
Xiuji was about to beg for mercy, but seeing that Dongye Yu looked unhappy, he was afraid of making things worse, so he thought about it and swallowed the words in his mouth.

It's just these few days. When I make another contribution and my lord is happy, I will ask for mercy and Taikoden can continue to be broadcast in Higashino Castle!

After learning that mobile phones can play TV series at any time, Xiuji feels that his vision is becoming more and more ambitious.

Just then, the sound of guitar playing was faintly heard from the front.

"Who's playing guitar at this late hour?"

Dongye Yu took two steps closer and found that the sound came from inside the shop where Sanlang was drinking alone, which was a bit strange.

No one sang, just a guitar solo. The tune was a tune I had never heard before, but the melody was very fresh and quite nice to listen to.

He had just exercised for a while and felt a little hungry. Dongye also had some income, so he was in a good mood. He thought it would not be too much to indulge himself occasionally and have a midnight snack.

Then he turned to Xiuji and whispered, "You go back and guard the apartment first. I'm going to the izakaya to eat something. If you behave well, I'll bring you some sake and peanuts."

Xiuji likes to drink, but the treasury of Dongye City was empty before, so it has not tasted alcohol for three months. I just gave it a stick, and now it’s time to give it some sweet dates to appease it.

Wait, what the hell is this Dongye Castle? Dongye Yu was speechless. He didn't know if it was because of the bird or the Moon Witch, but he seemed to be a little bit second-year in his mind recently.

"Wine?!" Xiuji smacked the bird's metallic beak, his eyes sparkling, and he immediately promised: "I will be stationed in Dongye City, and no one will dare to invade! Military affairs are urgent, Xiuji bids farewell to the lord."

As he spoke, he flapped his wings, climbed rapidly, and flew into the window of Dongye Cheng. He folded his wings and shook them, then looked back at Dongye Yu, bowed, and disappeared into the darkness behind the window.

Higashino Yu followed the sound of the guitar and pushed open the shoji door of the izakaya. The warm yellow light enveloped the room, and his shadow fell on the street, with the light extending to the other end of the street.

"Welcome, may I ask--" Oda Saburo, who was busy in the kitchen, turned around and looked at him in surprise: "Higashino-kun, it's so late, this is the first time I see you coming out to eat."

As he said this, he looked at Dong Yeyu's expression and smiled: "Something good must have happened to you, right?"

"Well, I just did a good deed and got some rewards. When I passed by, I heard some nice guitar playing. I was hungry, so I thought of coming in to eat something."

Dong Yeyu answered with a smile at the door and glanced at the customers in the store. There was only a middle-aged man playing the guitar with his back on his back.

He is said to be middle-aged, but if you look closely, he looks to be around 30 years old at most.

His hair was a little long, and looked like it hadn't been cut for at least half a year. It was a bit messy and greasy, and he had an untidy beard. His facial features were okay, and he could barely be considered a playboy. He was wearing a very old blue denim top, a white short-sleeved shirt underneath, and brown jeans.

I guess he is another frustrated person who came here with the dream of going to Tokyo, but saw his dream shattered.

When the man heard what Dong Yeyu said, he stopped playing, sat down and bowed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed: "Thank you for the compliment, I am Matsuoka Daigo."

He is not as relaxed when interacting with others as he is when he is playing.

Dong Yeyu nodded and responded: "Dong Yeyu."

Entering the not-so-spacious store, one finds that the izakaya opened by Saburo Oda is a little different from other izakayas. The bar counter seems to be missing a side, enclosing the space for the general to move around, probably to make it easier for the general to serve dishes and chat with guests to increase the human touch. This kind of izakaya actually relies heavily on repeat customers.

At the back is the kitchen.

Higashino Yu sat down at the bar near the door and took a picture of Fukuzawa Yukichi, feeling suddenly heroic.

“A large portion of handmade soba noodles, topped with wasabi, served in a bamboo basket!”

As he spoke, he glanced at the pitiful wooden fish rice in front of the man, and suddenly recalled the cat rice he had eaten when he was still a fox, and was silent for a second.

"Please give him some soba noodles, Mr. Oda. It's my treat."

The sun is rising from the west? Oda Saburo was stunned for a second, then smiled and replied, "Okay!"

I'm thinking about the new plot again. I'll start writing 6,000 words a day after I save up a few days' draft (I'm afraid that if I write faster, I won't be able to keep up with the details. If I lose my full attendance, Iluvi Otter will have to go out on the street to beg for food. QAQ)
