I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 200 Inari Ritual
It was around five forty in the afternoon. It had been a while since Yuko finished school, so she should have returned home.

But she probably just put her schoolbag back home, and she was still wearing her school uniform. Unlike the high school uniform, the junior high school uniform in Adachi Ward is a dark blue sailor suit, and the pleated skirt is also a length that basically covers the legs.

She ran over here with a cane, her thick brown-red curly hair tied into a bun on the right was a little loose, and it was fixed with some cute Q-version animal ceramic hairpins. Her smooth white forehead was covered with fine and crystal sweat beads, which wet her bangs and stuck to them.

Her running posture was a little strange, and she still needed the support of a cane. Xiuji followed anxiously from behind, and Dongye Yu was afraid that she would fall, so he hurried to meet her: "What happened? Don't worry, tell me slowly."

Yu Zi threw herself into Dongye Yu's arms. Without even having time to catch her breath, she raised her head, revealing a fair face with a hint of pink.

"Tono Nissan, Haruhara said that Feiyi will be in danger, and the demon exorcist and the police will take her away!"

Is Takigawa Tadahiro so efficient? He missed yesterday, but he almost found her location today?

For a moment, Higashino Yu was somewhat impressed by the efficiency of the island government. He originally thought that it would be delayed for a few months.

He helped Yuzi up and thought for two seconds.

To be honest, I didn't feel anything about Fei Yi being caught. It was only natural for him to be caught after stealing so many things. I didn't really want to go.

It's just a pity that the person who could have been a qualified bodyguard for Miko has to be replaced.

Moreover, the incident happened suddenly. Even if he rescued Fei Yi, it would be a problem for him to escape safely in front of so many people.

After thinking about it, Dongye Yu shook his head helplessly: "Ya Zi, it is the job of the demon hunters and police to catch demons. I am just a high school student. Do I have to kidnap Fei Yi in public? This is unrealistic."

Yuzi seemed to have been prepared, and stuffed the golden hairpin in her hand into Dongye Yu's hand: "Chunyuan said that this can be lent to Dongye Nissan."

I guess, Inari God Ceremony?
Great!

This can save half a month of practice time.

Dong Yeyu took the hairpin and felt happy at first, but then a little confused.

Haruhara is only the Inari of the Imperial Palace, how powerful is he? Can he borrow the Inari God's ceremonies at will?
Or did Inari God also agree to save Tobi?
Higashino Yu guessed in his heart that he was actually a little curious about the Inari God.

This is the second time I have borrowed his divine ceremonial procession, but I have never actually seen what Inari God looks like. Perhaps my cultivation is too low and I am not qualified to see the true face of the great god?

Seeing that Dong Yeyu was observing the step-shaking, Yu Zi waited for a few seconds and asked cautiously: "Dong Ye Nissan, is it okay?"

Dong Yeyu didn't rush to answer, stroking the wind-winged golden hairpin in his hand: "Yuzi has only known Feiyi for a few days, right?"

Running around for a friend he had only met a few times, Miko showed the demeanor of an ancient gentleman.

"Fei Yi has passed Chunyuan's test, so he must not be a bad monster."

Miko said seriously: "And friends don't have to know each other for a long time to be called friends. I have only known Tono Nissan for two or three months, but it feels like we have been together for many years."

"I just think that Fei Yi deserves a chance to mend his ways."

"Well said, but what will Yuko do if I am in danger on this trip?" Dongye Yu was a little curious.

Miko lowered her eyes, "Then I will go and beg Chunyuan again."

Dong Yeyu smiled when he heard this and looked at the girl: "Does this count as Yuzi owing me a favor?"

Miko was stunned for a second, her amber eyes gleaming like gemstones under the setting sun, she bowed and thanked him: "Yes! I will definitely repay Dongye Nissan!"

Although the Iori family already owes Higashino Nissan a lot of favors, it doesn’t matter. My health is gradually getting better now, and I can slowly pay it back when I grow up.

"Let's not talk about repaying you for now. I may not be able to bring Feiyi back. You have to be mentally prepared, Miko." Dongye Yu gave Miko a shot of prevention first.

The girl nodded slightly and looked at Dongye Yu with some concern: "I know that Dongye Nissan also has to ensure his own safety!"

"Don't worry, I'll be the first one to run if there's any danger."

Dong Yeyu gave a thumbs up and smiled cheerfully, then asked, "Did Chunyuan say where Feiyi is?"

Yu Zi was amused by him at first, then shook her head gently: "No, but He said that Buyao will guide Dongye Nissan."

Asumi Sanae listened for a while and roughly understood what happened.

So Miko wants my knight to rescue a monster?
The girl thought while looking at Iori Miko who was leaning on Higashino Yu, and frowned slightly, feeling that the child was a little eye-catching.

If Dongye goes to save monsters, will other monster hunters hate him?

She was a little worried about Dong Yeyu. After thinking for a moment, she raised her head and said in a ethereal voice:

"Goko's monster friend is being targeted by the law enforcers of the Kingdom of Darkness? It would be wise to ask for help from the Knights of the Kingdom of the Moon, but if you look up again, you can see the bright moon in the eternal night."

Her family has considerable power in the island nation. Although their influence is limited to the secular world, many parliamentarians and ministers need their support. Even though the Ministry of Religion, Culture, Science and Technology has a high status, it still has to look at the direction of the Minister of Finance.

So it’s not an exaggeration to say that I can help, but of course it’s not that simple.

Upon hearing this, Miko looked up at the girl standing on the other side of Higano Yu, took his hand for support, and bowed very politely: "Thank you, Miss Asumi, but Haruhara said that only Higano Nissan can save Hibato."

The Moon Witch was a little unhappy with the girl's ignorance, but her attention was immediately drawn to a name from the girl's mouth.

"Haruhara? What a strange name. Is she a shrine maiden?"

"It's the Gozen Inari of Inari Shrine," Higashino Yu explained.

Gozen Inari? Isn't that a god?!
Asuhi saw Sanae's expression stunned for a second, and remembered that Iori Miko was the child of a priest. Does she have the power to communicate with gods?
And the children of the priests and the demon hunters
Seeing the two of them getting along so intimately, the girl felt a tightness in her heart and an inexplicable sense of urgency arose in her mind.

For a moment, even the thought of investigating the monster faded.

Higashino Yu did not notice the strangeness of Mingri's meeting with Sanae. He squatted down and said a few words to Miko, and then asked Xiuji to protect Miko, and then prepared to go back to the apartment first.

The plan to save Fei Yi is also very simple, to send out the Yin Shen and then put on a hairpin to disguise himself as a god.

Generally speaking, the sun has not completely set at this time, so if you have a Yin spirit, you will be at risk of being burned by the sun.

But since we have the divine instrument to protect us, there is no need to worry - with the divine instrument around, we can even patrol during the day.

Finally, I followed Chunyuan's instructions and went to the place to show off to see if I could scare those demon hunters and the Special Anti-Mobile Unit specialists.

If he could be frightened, Fei Yi would be saved.

If she can't be scared, it means she is destined to suffer this disaster.

Before leaving, he glanced at the absent-minded Asumi Sanae and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, Your Highness. I had agreed to follow you to investigate monsters today." Asumi Sanae's thoughts were interrupted. She looked up at him and felt very conflicted.

After a moment, the girl's expression calmed down and she just nodded slightly: "I forgive you. But I will wait for you and Fei Yi to come to see me in the royal court of the mirror moon."

She actually wanted to go along, but she knew that she might be in danger, so she didn't ask for it.
Dong Yeyu was very pleased to see that she had the awareness of not sitting in the hall as a daughter of a wealthy family, and said: "It is an honor for the monster to meet the owner of the mirror moon."

After saying that, he nodded slightly to the two girls and turned and left.

Higashino Yu quickly disappeared around the corner of the street, and Asumi Sanae's gaze fell on the big pigeon next to Miko. She squatted down and asked curiously.

"Are you a monster?"

Xiuji has been with Dongye Yu for such a long time that he has some insight. Facing one of the donors of Dongye Castle's treasury, he was very humble.

"I have long heard that I will see your noble splendour tomorrow, and now I see that you are indeed extraordinary. I am the Tono Shogun Zaemon, Shukichi!"

As he spoke, the bird rolled his eyes and added, "The lord often thinks of you in his official residence."

Asumi saw Sanae was about to ask Shukichi something, but Miko interrupted their conversation.

"Hidekichizaemon, it's time for us to go." She said softly, turning around and walking towards the shrine with her cane.

Mingji Sanae felt the inexplicable hostility and pursed her red lips. She didn't look angry, but asked calmly: "Ms. Iori, don't you need me to give you a ride?"

Upon hearing this, Miko turned around and bowed again: "Thank you for your kindness, but this place is very close to the shrine, and taking a car will take a long detour. Goodbye, I'll see you tomorrow, miss."

Xiuji looked at Miko, then at Asumi Sanae, hesitating a little until Miko stopped and said, "Xiujizaemon?"

Xiuji just bowed to Asumi Sanae, spread his wings and glided low for a distance, came behind Miko, and followed her to Inari Shrine in jumps.

Asuhi saw Sanae looking at their backs, feeling a little frustrated.

She had originally planned to investigate monsters with the loyal knight this evening, and when they got tired they could go to a cafe to have some tea and review the situation, but it ended before it even started.

Although I might see the monster later, overall, I came with high hopes but left with disappointment.

She walked towards her Toyota Century, deep in thought.

If Your Excellency the Knight is always distracted by one thing or another, how can he devote himself wholeheartedly to the Mirror Moon?

Perhaps I should think of a way to keep His Excellency the Knight away from these things that distract his attention. There should only be the light of the mirror moon in his eyes.

Miko turned around and glanced at the young lady who had returned to the car. She was also a little unhappy. She asked Xiuji as she walked with her cane: "Does Dongye Nissan often mention her at home?"

Xiuji: ".Reporting to Your Highness, you are mentioned more often."

"You mentioned her, too, right?"

Xiuji didn't say anything. The bird's head instantly lost its intelligence and became like a wild pigeon on the roadside, just cooing.

Osamu Furukawa was sitting in the passenger seat. It was already dark and he couldn't see the scenery in the distance.

So he stuck his head out of the car window. The wind outside had the faint salty smell of a coastal city, mixed with a fresh scent similar to that of oranges.

"It seems we are getting close to the sea!" He said, looking at the only tourist bus ahead, and muttered, "Why are there so few cars on this road?"

"It's finally here?"

Aki and Nobuyo were sleeping together. When they heard the noise, they stood up and stretched. "I'm almost falling apart from all the driving and walking."

"We're just getting there. That's my hometown in the countryside. No one has lived in the house for many years. I have to clean it up before I can rest."

Furukawa Hatsue said with a smile, her expression full of nostalgia. She grew up in that seaside town but hadn't been back for decades.

Shota propped up his face and looked at the scenery outside the window with some curiosity. It was his first time leaving Tokyo.

After making the decision to escape, the Furukawa family acted quickly. They packed their luggage last night, took a nap, and even made a simple breakfast in the morning.

Originally, we planned to take the train to Kamakura, but this idea was rejected by old lady Furukawa.

She thought she would definitely be caught by the police if she took a normal car, so she took out a small notebook from home, which contained some phone numbers of illegal taxi drivers.

There are also illegal taxis on this island, and there are quite a few of them. The main reason is that taxis with legal licenses are too expensive and not affordable for ordinary people.

But most of the time people can't just take trams and buses to travel, so in order to meet market demand, illegal taxis came into being.

The Furukawa family contacted the illegal taxi driver around six or seven in the morning.

After getting on the car, we didn't go straight to Kamakura. Instead, we drove a long distance towards Kansai, got off the car and walked for a distance, contacted another illegal taxi driver, and reversed direction to Kamakura.

The journey was supposed to take an hour and a half, but they stopped and started, took many twists and turns, and walked for a whole day. Now they had just left Fujisawa City and were on the road to Enoshima.

Their destination was Inamurazaki, diagonally across from Enoshima.

"Hey, why is there no internet?" Aki was about to take out her cell phone to go online, but found that the phone suddenly had no signal.

"Maybe this is not in the service area."

The driver explained that his name was Ken Arita, and that he was from Hokkaido. He had Ainu ancestry, and faced discrimination when working on the island country, so he started working as a black car driver.

Fei Yi sat next to the old lady, feeling inexplicably uneasy, as if something was following him.

The car drove for a distance and suddenly flashing police lights appeared in front. Several police cars were blocking the road. A policeman walked forward and raised his hand to signal to stop. The tourist bus in front had been forced to stop.

"What to do? The police are here!"

Arita Ken panicked when he saw the police lights.

He does not have a legal operating license, and the island country has severe crackdowns on illegal taxis. Violators will face up to three years in prison or a fine of up to 300 million yen.

Furukawa Osamu had a lot of experience in escaping, so he immediately said, "Stop the car now. While it's dark, they're checking the tour bus. We'll go into the rice fields over here. We'll put our luggage in your car. Please help take care of it."
