I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 204 Everyone Arrives
After the sun came out, Xiu Ji could no longer practice - he did not have the true method of the Great Dao, and if he practiced during the day, his Yin Spirit would easily be burned.

In this modern society where spiritual treasures are so scarce, it is difficult to heal a damaged Yin Spirit. There is no need to take great risks just to make a little progress in cultivation.

So he just squatted beside the noodle pot like he was hatching eggs, not because he liked eating noodles.

As a pigeon monster, Xiuji only likes to eat various finely ground grains and berries.

The reason why he was in a daze was mainly because Dongye Yu hadn't started eating yet.

If the lord does not eat, the ministers are not allowed to eat either. This is the etiquette of samurai ministers that he learned from the Taiga drama and took as his guiding principle.

Higashino Yu criticized this pigeon many times but it didn't listen, so he just didn't bother to care about it anymore.

Most monsters are stubborn and conservative creatures who like to dwell on trivial matters. Perhaps because of this, there are thousands of monsters in the world, but few that have achieved enlightenment.

Then the only sound in the room was the rustling sound of Higashino Yu's pen writing on paper.

The TV was not turned on. Xiuji had watched TV for a few days during his daytime rest and found that the daytime TV shows were either news from the human world, reruns of comedy shows, or some romance TV dramas.

Xiuji denounced it as decadent music and no longer looked forward to daytime television programs.

At this moment, he really looked like a left and right samurai, guarding beside Higashino Yu who was immersed in the squad leader's notes, occasionally sticking his head out to look out the window with a vigilant look.

Occasionally, the loud greeting of Mr. Oda could be heard from outside, and car horns could be heard from farther away. However, the horn sounds did not seem noisy at this time. They echoed in the bright morning light that made people squint their eyes, passing through the leisurely passers-by, and when they reached Dongye Yu's ears, a unique sense of leisure was born.

About ten minutes later, Xiuji's bird head seemed to see something, tilted his head, turned his gaze back, and saw Dong Yeyu studying seriously. After hesitating for a while, he whispered: "My lord, Miss Miko is downstairs."

Prince?

Higashino Yu stopped writing, stuck his head out to look downstairs with some confusion, and sure enough, he saw the girl in the goose yellow dress walking into the apartment door with a cane.

It’s only been a short time since I made the phone call and you’re here. So fast?

Dong Yeyu then got up and went out to greet him, and went down to the corner of the second floor.
Miko was walking up the stairs with some difficulty, carrying a lunch box in one hand and a cane in the other. A beige monster-themed shoulder bag was slung across her shoulder, which probably contained books or something.

The shoulder bag is not Q version, but the style of Ukiyo-e, with a fox demon painted on it. It is not hideous and scary, but it is not cute or pretty either.

As a fox, Higashino Yu's evaluation is that he barely managed to capture a hint of the fox's charm.

However, because the artist highlighted the cunning and vindictive nature of the stereotype of foxes, the reputation of foxes was damaged and the work was only considered inferior.

I will ask which artist drew the picture for Miko later. When I become an internet celebrity by operating a YouTube and Tiktak account, I will have millions of fans to persuade him to mend his ways.

This painter is so ignorant that he has damaged the reputation of the fox clan. You should repent.

When Yu Zi heard the noise, she subconsciously looked up, revealing a small face that was fair and pink. Perhaps she was a little tired from walking, her slightly curly bangs were wet with sweat on her smooth forehead, and the tip of her delicate and cute nose seemed to be covered with crystal beads of sweat.

He seemed to be in good spirits, with the radiance of the morning light in his crystal clear amber eyes.

"Good morning, Tono Nissan."

Yu Zi looked calm and greeted softly. She moved the arm holding the food box and showed the beautiful and exquisite food box to Dongye Yu.

"I brought some delicious tempura shrimp and fried chicken, and some of my grandma's pickled cucumbers."

The food was just so-so, and Higashino Yu was more looking forward to seeing Miko giving the same energetic greeting as the two-thorn monkey Sakura girl on such a beautiful morning.

"Are you tired? This is the punishment from the God of Laziness. Being self-reliant is good, but humans are social animals. Sometimes we have to learn to rely on others. If you had waited for me to pick you up, you wouldn't have sweated so much."

"There is no such thing as a lazy god."

“There are no gods in the world. When more people believe in them, gods appear.”

"Higashino Nissan." Miko looked at Higashino Yu, said softly with a stern face, her tone hinting with anger.

Dong Yeyu smiled and said, "Okay, okay, it's my fault. I shouldn't have made up stories about gods in front of the future witch."

When she heard the word "miko", Yu Zi remembered her dream last night. She pursed her lips and stuffed the food box into Dongye Yu's arms. There was rarely any emotion in her tone.

"I don't want to be a witch!"

"Haruhara will definitely be sad if Miko doesn't become a miko."

Dong Ye Yu said with a smile, took the food box from Yu Zi, opened the lid and saw that the plate was full of more than ten fried shrimps, the chicken steak was fried golden, and the pickles were as crystal clear and moist as jade, and they looked crispy and delicious at first glance.

However, Grandma Iori's cooking skills have declined slightly.

Higashino Yu walked in front of Yuko, picked up the fried shrimp that was coated with too much flour and looked at it for a moment.

The shape is not exactly the same as the previous exquisite one, or at least it is completely unrelated, presenting a strange and struggling caterpillar shape.

But Higashino Yu, who was born in China, has always believed in the truth that food is the most important thing for people, and more is better!

He stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it with relish, making a crunching sound.

Miko heard the sound of Dong Yeyu eating secretly and asked softly, "Is it delicious?"

Dong Yeyu gave a thumbs up: "Excellent!"

Yu Zi nodded slightly, lowered her brows, and her glass-like eyes were smiling, like a mirror lake with rippling water.

"Does Miko eat one too?"

Dongye Yu took two more from the food box and stuffed them into Yuko's mouth without saying a word, and threw the other one into the air and caught it with his mouth.

If he had to choose one of the greatest foods in the world, Higashino Yu would definitely vote for tempura.

This magical food can both make people happy and kill Tokugawa Ieyasu.

The office worker in a cheap suit coming down from the upper floor saw him behaving unruly, throwing fried flour balls to him as he went upstairs, and saw that he was tall and strong, looked decent, but didn't look like a good person, so he stopped humming a Showa ditty, looked stern, and walked past the wall carefully. After going downstairs, he looked back upstairs and regretted that he didn't do a neighborhood survey when he rented the house two days ago. But now that the gift money has been given to the landlord, it can only be said that changing the house is a failure.

I regret that I didn’t study hard back then. Now I have nothing and have to live on the same floor with such a vicious person.

That cute little lame girl seems to be his sister? It's unlucky to have such a brother.
The office worker wiped his sweat with a handkerchief and turned to leave, secretly vowing to work hard in the future, harass more customers to sell products, and strive to move out of here as soon as possible!

When the two returned to the apartment, Miko saw Xiuji squatting next to the noodle pot and bowed slightly to greet him: "Good morning, Xiujizaemon."

Xiuji squatted down and bowed, and said in an old voice: "Ms. Yuzi, you are more graceful than before."

Somehow, Dong Yeyu always felt that there was a hint of flattery in the bird's eyes.

"Thank you."

Miko answered softly, and took off her leather shoes at the entrance as if she was familiar with the place. She stepped on the tatami with her delicate little feet wrapped in white socks. Seeing the books that Higashino Yu used for study on the small square table, she sat down beside the table and took out her textbooks, exercise books, paper, pen, etc. from her fox bag.

Dong Yeyu opened the door, making the room brighter and more airy. He then walked into the room, put the lunch box on the small square table, turned on the rice cooker, and prepared to cook noodles.

At the same time, he asked Miko, "Has Miko had breakfast?"

Yuzi looked at the dishes on the chopping board and the unfamiliar seasoning bottles and jars with some curiosity, blinked, and said in a soft voice: "No."

Dong Yeyu picked up the noodles and said, "Would you like to eat noodles? I'll give them to you."

Miko nodded, but didn't say thank you. She just watched Dong Ye Yu cook noodles and seasonings. It looked even plainer than ramen. She frowned slightly and asked, "Does Dong Ye Nissan eat this every morning?"

As she spoke, she looked at Dong Yeyu's physique and worried in her heart, wondering if he could get enough nutrition by eating so little.
Life is not easy, sighed the fox.

If it weren’t for poverty, who would want to eat instant noodles every day?

Of course, with my current ability to make money, it wouldn’t matter if I ignored the orphanage and lived a life of luxury every day.

However, for me now, the pursuit of inner wealth has a higher priority than satisfying the desire for food.

The rewards for repaying a favor are not only from the system, but also from the satisfaction and joy that comes from the heart.

Dong Yeyu was not going to tell Yuzi about these unique fox life problems that only grateful foxes would encounter. He smiled and explained, "This is a kind of noodle from my hometown. It is much healthier than instant noodles, cheap and filling, and is a very good food."

The hometown of Higashino Nissan is Kyoto, right? But the words on the noodles look like Chinese cuisine.

Miko was a little confused: "Is there such noodles in Kyoto?"

"It's in Chinatown. Yuzi, do you like spicy food? You can eat a little bit, then I'll put less chili oil. Do you like chopped green onions and coriander? You don't like coriander? It's a pity that you missed such a perfect food."

Dong Ye Yu shook his head and sighed, but did not forcefully recommend it. People who don't eat coriander are not picky eaters. It is said that it is because of some different genes. To these people, the smell of coriander is like the smell of stink bugs.

Two or three minutes later, the time for the meeting had arrived. Dong Ye Yu picked up the noodles and put them into two large porcelain bowls that had been prepared in advance. He added a small piece of lard, poured red chili sauce on them, sprinkled some chopped green onions and coriander, and then poured boiling hot noodle soup on them. The rich aroma hit his face.

"Higashino family vegetarian noodles, eat while they're hot!" Higashino Yu placed the bowl of noodles in front of Miko, cleaned up the small square table, opened the food box, and took out the dishes inside.

Yuzi looked at the bowl of noodles in front of him as if facing a formidable enemy. Although the noodles did not look good, they smelled very fragrant - of course, it was filled with a bunch of seasonings and spices, even the smell of boiled shoe soles was fragrant.

I have been learning cooking from my grandma for these days, but I still haven't been able to make such delicious food - even if it's just a simple bowl of boiled noodles.

So she took a bite with a heavy heart, and her nervous mood suddenly relaxed. She decided to spend more time learning cooking from her grandmother. From now on, I will be the one to provide nutrition for the Higashino family.

The girl's way of eating noodles is somewhat different from the traditional etiquette of eating noodles in the island country. It has a Chinese elegance and does not require slurping. She just picks it up and puts it in her mouth to chew slowly.

The more I savor this ineffable feeling, the closer I feel the person next to me is.

Even someone as seemingly perfect as Higashino Nissan actually has areas where he is not good at. She thought to herself, with a little joy in her surprise and a sense of peace.

The two were enjoying noodles when Higashino Yu suddenly received a message from Line. He opened it and saw that it was from Asumi Sanae.

"Dear Sir Knight,
I have received the snacks you sent. Although they are not as exquisite as the desserts in Bailu Palace, I feel your heart. This is a very good gift. The old king of the Moon Kingdom praised them highly and hoped that you could come to the royal court as a guest. You must be very happy, right? Of course, before you came to the royal court, I spent another heat death of the universe while watching the real world in Bailu Palace. I don’t know how you have been in the Kingdom of Night during this period. The weather is very good today. Bailu Palace has made me feel bored, so I want to visit your castle. Will you welcome me? Looking forward to meeting you.

Mirror Moon Lord."

You are really good at making up stories. You are suitable to be a light novel author.

Dong Yeyu found it funny in his heart, but after being together for so long, he was used to it. After thinking about it, he replied seriously using the same format.

"Dear Moon Witch,
I am glad that you like my gift. In a few days, there will be a kimono and several yukatas made from special materials, which will be made at the Yokai Market. You will know the details when the time comes. Please allow me to keep you in suspense. As for the news that you will come to Dongye City, I will prepare it immediately and inform the whole city. The bright moonlight of the mirror moon will once again baptize Dongye City. This is an honor for the people of Dongye City. I look forward to your arrival.

The Moon Kingdom Knight Higashino Yu."

I told her about this when I got home yesterday, so it was natural for her to come here early this morning.

Although Miss Moon Witch claims to be a god who appeared at the beginning of the world, this is probably the first time she has actually talked to a monster face to face.

Yuko, who was eating noodles slowly, noticed that Higashino Yu was typing on his mobile phone with a smile on his face. She guessed who the other person was and felt a little uncomfortable.

"Is that the Miss Mingri?" she asked softly, her voice devoid of emotion.

"Well, she's coming over later and wants to see Feiyi." Dongye Yu said, and asked: "By the way, Miko, how is Feiyi's injury?"

Meeting Feiyi? Miko was suspicious of the woman's purpose, lowered her eyebrows, and wanted to lie to Higashino Yu that Feiyi was still recovering from his injuries, but after thinking about it, she decided not to lie to him.

"Hibato is fine now, but he's at the shrine now."

Higashino Yu nodded when he heard this, but before he put down his phone, another call came in. It was from Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami.

"Higashino-san, Momogo--Good morning, Higashino Nissan, the secret reward I mentioned last time--you two, how rude!"

The voices on the phone were a bit confusing, but I could still make out the two sisters, who sounded lively. Their parents should be fine.
