I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 214 Giant Monster
"Exorcist? Let me take a look, maybe he's the customer."

Higashino Yu stood up and stuck his head out of the door together with Fei Yi. There was no one in the corridor, but the sound of many people going up the stairs could be heard.

"coming!"

Fei Yi quickly hid in the house. The 7.76mm bullets fired by the mobile team last night left a deep impression on her.

Higashino Yu took out his cell phone and saw that Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami had sent a message ten minutes ago saying that he would be arriving soon.

Looking downstairs, I saw two Mercedes-Benz parked on the road outside the apartment. They looked like S-Class, but the specific model was not very clear.

Higashino Yu himself doesn't know much about luxury cars. In his previous life, he was just an ordinary guy from an ordinary family. He even felt that he didn't have enough time to watch anime, so how could he have the time to think about such luxury cars that he could not see or touch.

But, they are indeed a wealthy family.

Is it impolite for me to dress so simply when someone comes to visit me?

Higashino Yu looked at the clothes he was wearing, which cost no more than 2,000 yen in total, and was silent for a few seconds. Most of the clothes in his home were cheap stuff, and the only decent outfit he had was the one given by the Moon Witch.

Then change into formal clothes?

When Higashino Yu thought of this, a scene appeared in his mind of himself wearing a Victorian fantasy-themed formal dress and greeting the Jinguji family in traditional kimonos. The corners of his mouth twitched and he shook his head. Forget it, just leave it at that.

As for the plan of buying formal clothes in Tokyo, Higashino Yu has no plan for the time being.

Prices here are already high, and even formal wear, which is considered luxury goods, is unacceptably expensive if it is a bit high-end, and the brand premium is outrageous.

Not only Western formal wear, but kimonos also have a high premium. Many stores sell you a set of clothes for 300,000 yen under the banner of handmade kimonos.

But you can write to Taodong and ask her to help you order two sets from the store in Lingze Yao City.

Compared to the market in Tokyo, the kimonos sold in the weaving shops in Hishizawa City have a very good price-performance ratio. The fabrics are not ordinary, the weaving technology is superb, and the price is not expensive. A custom-made set using mid-range fabrics only costs about two hundred wen.

At the beginning, I felt sorry for spending money and didn't buy any clothes for myself. I only ordered a few kimonos for Miko and Miss Moon Witch. Maybe I was used to being poor, so I subconsciously saved money in everything I did.

Now that I think about it, I should have bought two formal suits. I will be dealing with demon exorcists more often in the future, and if I continue to wear these cheap clothes, I will inevitably appear rude and arrogant.

After all, everyone is wearing formal clothes or kimonos, and you are wearing a set of cheap goods. Are you here to disrupt the party or to socialize?

How can I fit in when I'm so arrogant and eccentric?

Dong Ye Yu still understands the basic principle of "When in Rome, do as the Romans do".

But what now?

Before Dong Yeyu could think of a solution, the people had already reached the stairs in the corridor.

There was not the grand ceremony that one would imagine of an aristocrat being supported before and after a tour. There were not many people, just a few.

The leader was a middle-aged man wearing a black aoi-patterned haori, who should be the father of Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami.

He is not tall, about 1.7 meters, but has a sturdy build. Even when he wears a wide robe with big sleeves, you can still see his strong body underneath the clothes.

He is not handsome, but he has thick eyebrows, big eyes, and deep facial features, and looks like a decent person.

There were four people following behind him, three of whom were familiar, Kaori Shiori and Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami.

There was another person I hadn't seen before, a noble lady wearing an elegant black kimono, who was taller than Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami's father.

However, she has soft facial features and a gentle appearance, and is a real beauty. She should be the mother of Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami.

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami was also wearing a black kimono, but the paulownia flower pattern embroidered on it was much more lively.

She wasn't as elegant as a noble lady, with her long black hair tied up in a bun.

It looked quite natural, in stark contrast to the top-heavy headdress worn by the oiran in Hishizawa Monster Market.

With the help of golden flower hairpins and tassel hairpins, the originally heroic eyebrows were painted into gentle willow-leaf eyebrows.

But the look in those eyes as dark as the night was still as cold, his fair face was full of a serious expression, and the noble aura that emanated from his whole body was totally out of place in this cheap apartment building.

Kaori and Shiori's kimonos are also different from when they were in Momogo Town.

Kaori wore a peach-white silk furisode with butterfly pattern, while Shiori wore a black silk furisode with iris pattern. The patterns were intricate and gorgeous without looking old-fashioned. They were probably specially customized kimonos.

Her gait was dignified. Because she was a girl, her lips were rosy and her teeth were white even without makeup. Her expression was serious, just like a lady in a painting. Dongye Yu almost didn't recognize her.

However, when they saw him, the two little faces suddenly became lively and they winked at him.

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami knew without even looking at the two of them that they were being rude again, so he reached out and grabbed their collars as a warning.

The two of them pursed their lips and then put on a stern look on their faces, looking like a portrait.

The man in the haori walked and looked at the living environment here, and finally his eyes fell on Higashino Yu.

He just took a glance without showing any other expression. He stood in front of Dong Ye Yu and bowed slightly.

"My name is Jinguji Nobuyoshi, and this is my wife Jinguji Xizi. You look very majestic, with abundant Qi and blood, a clear spirit, and a restrained divine light in your eyes. Your cultivation is not like that of an ordinary person."

At this point, he smiled and said, "I believe you are the Higashino-kun who saved my Kagami Hiiragi and Shiori Kaori, right?"

Higashino Yu didn't expect that such a big shot would actually come to his house with his wife and daughter to express his gratitude - according to the various plots he had read in novels in his previous life, shouldn't the next scene be a classic show-off and face-slapping scene?

You're not reborn, are you?
However, the other person came to express his sincere gratitude and started to flatter him when they met, so Dong Ye Yu naturally would not keep a straight face.

So he smiled and responded politely: "Thank you for the compliment, Senior. I have heard of you from Jinguji classmate a long time ago. Now I see that you are indeed an extraordinary person. Your cultivation has reached the ultimate level of the soul, and the divine light in your eyes is about to burst out."

"I have seen many demon hunters in Taoxiang Town before, but none of them has your level of cultivation. You are worthy of being the white jade pillar that supports the sky and the purple gold beam that spans the sea in the demon hunter world."

Then he looked at the noble lady standing behind him and said, "Aunt is also radiant. Hiiragi Jing once said that you are the most gentle woman in the world. After meeting you, I quite agree. Unfortunately, I can't say anything to praise you. I just feel that any compliments seem a little inappropriate in front of you."

"I once heard that there is an article in Shenzhou called The Goddess of Luo River, which praises the goddess of Luo River as being as light as the moon covered by clouds and as fluttering as snow blown by the wind. If there is anyone in the world who can be as praised as the goddess of Luo River, it must be you, my aunt. Jinguji-san is so lucky to have a mother like you."

Jinguji Kyoko first looked at Higashino Yu with some surprise, glanced at her husband, and opened her folding fan to hide the smile on her lips.

This classmate of Hiiragi Kagami is quite interesting. His personality seems to be completely opposite to Hiiragi Kagami's. Maybe they can complement each other?

She smiled and nodded, her voice was beautiful and intelligent: "Thank you for the compliment, Higano-kun. I'm very grateful for your care for Hiiragi Jing during this period of time."

"You're welcome. Jinguji and I are good friends. I can't say that we take care of each other, but we just support each other." Higashino Yu bowed in return.

I am the senior and Xizi is the aunt. Is it possible to get close to her in this way?
Still supporting?
When Jinguji Nobuyoshi heard this kid talking, he was reminded of a friend of his in the past and snorted coldly. He was able to say so many flattering words in one breath when they met for the first time. This kid is so smooth-talking that he doesn't seem like a good person.

But considering that he saved Kagami Hiiragi and the others, and called Kagami Hiiragi "Jinguji classmate", he is still polite. Let's take another look at him.

As for what Hiiragi Jing mentioned about himself.

"Did Hiiragi Jing really mention me and her mother?"

Jinguji Nobuyoshi patted Higashino Yu's shoulder with a smile, turned around to look at his daughter, and naturally did not believe it in his heart.

Hiiragi Kagami is a quiet girl on weekdays. She is either cultivating or practicing swordsmanship. This time after returning from Momogo Town, she seemed to be stimulated and practiced in the dojo after school.

Sometimes I only say two sentences to her a day. She is a very taciturn person and there is no way she would say these things to an outsider.

"Bao Zhen, not only did Jinguji-san mention you, but Jinguji-san also told me about you when we were in Momogo-cho."

Dong Yeyu said solemnly, and then changed the subject.

"Come to think of it, I haven't seen Kaori Shiori's parents much since they left Taoxiang. They were seriously injured in the shrine at that time. I wonder how they are recovering now?"

Hearing him talking about his younger brother, Jinguji Nobuyoshi was also quite fortunate and moved.

"Thanks to Higashino-kun, although Xinming and his sister-in-law haven't woken up yet, they are no longer in danger. Now they just need to rest. I heard about the situation at that time. It's a blessing in disguise that they can save their lives."

Perhaps remembering his brother lying on the sickbed, he said bitterly, "The Ueda family is the most hateful!"

"My Jinguji family has no grudges against the Ueda family. Their attack this time is too cruel."

"They must have been blinded by the gods. That family has harmed countless tourists in Taoxiang. Now their family is broken up and they have no hope of practicing cultivation. It's all their own fault."

Higashino Yu sighed, then nodded to Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami as a greeting.

After looking around, I felt that it was not a good idea to just stand here and talk. It would be unreasonable not to invite guests into the house when they come.

So he invited them, "You have come from afar, please come in."

But after he finished speaking, he looked around the room, estimated it, and felt a little embarrassed.

To be honest, it is quite difficult to squeeze six people into this room, especially Fei Yi. Although she looks like a little girl, she is actually a big crow.

But Fei Yi was a guest anyway, so Dong Yeyu didn't act bossy and said to her politely, "Fei Yi, please come out and wait outside."

"Oh."

Fei Yi didn't want to stay with these demon hunters in the first place, so upon hearing that, he stood up and walked to the corridor.

He glanced at the people standing in the corridor, frowned, and simply turned into a crow, flapping his wings.

call!
He rode the strong wind to the roof of the apartment building opposite and stood there, as if he had been waiting there all along.

"Is this Higashino-kun's shikigami?"

Jinguji Nobuyoshi could feel the demonic aura on her. He squinted his eyes and looked at her. He was shocked. Judging from her aura, she was no less than some big monsters.

The Jinguji family also has such shikigami, and there are quite a few of them, and their power is stronger than that of this crow monster.

But that was the accumulation of the Jinguji family for hundreds of years. Where did this kid get this big demon shikigami on his own?

This is a bird monster with good cultivation. Among all monsters, bird monsters are the most difficult to subdue.

After all, not only are they born with the ability to fly, but once they become great demons, their magic and talents are mostly focused on speed. It is a pipe dream for ordinary demon hunters to subdue them.

Dong Yeyu shook his head.

"You misunderstood. She is a wild monster from Mt. Takao. Her name is Fei Yi. However, because she has just entered the human world, she does not know etiquette or morality, so she was adopted by a mortal family. Seeing that the family was poor, she wanted to steal to help them."

"Later, she was targeted by the Special Anti-Mobile Force for petty theft. Perhaps the Inari God was moved by her innocent heart and sent a messenger to rescue her. After that, she lived in the Inari Shrine over there, and was considered a follower of the Inari God."

Higashino Yu said, pointing to the shrine on Ayasezaka: "It's the Inari Shrine."

"I see."

Nobuyoshi Jinguji seemed to be thinking about something. After this incident happened last night, almost all the demon hunters in Tokyo knew about it today.

The entire Mobile Section 3 was mobilized and almost captured the crow monster. However, when they were about to succeed, a Gozen Inari arrived at the scene and rescued the monster, making the plan fail at the last moment. The people in the Special Anti-Mobile Section were furious.

I didn't expect to meet you here, what a coincidence.

Jinguji Nobuyoshi looked in the direction that Higashino Yu pointed and frowned: "But that shrine? It's the shrine of the Iori family, right?"

"Do you have any history with the Iori family?"

"It's not that we were old friends, but Nobuaki and the eldest son of the Iori family worked together for a period of time. Nobuaki said that he was a good demon hunter, humble and polite. Unfortunately, both husband and wife died at the hands of a giant demon."

Nobuyoshi Jinguji said with regret.

Higashino Yu didn't say anything after hearing this, and first invited the Jinguji family into the house.

Several people took off their shoes at the entrance, and Xiuji squatted at the entrance: "I am Xiuji, and I am General Zuoemon under the lord's seat. I respectfully welcome all the adults."

So this pigeon monster is Higashino-kun's shikigami? But why is the tone of his voice so strange?

Nobuyoshi Jinguji felt strange, but didn't say much, just nodded in return.

Jinguji Kyoko smiled at him, Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami glanced at him and nodded lightly, and Kaori Shiori smiled and wanted to take the opportunity of taking off her shoes to touch her.

However, when he noticed the gaze of Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami, he quickly straightened his body and followed behind.

They did not casually look at the furnishings and items in Dong Yeyu's house, but just sat down around the small square table politely.

Higashino Yu sat in the main seat, Jinguji Nobuyoshi sat opposite him, and his wife, Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami and others sat behind him, without any look of disgust.

The contrast between the luxurious kimono, the glittering golden jewelry and the cramped and small rental house is obvious.

Dong Yeyu felt a little ashamed now: "My humble abode is simple and I am sorry for the poor hospitality. Please forgive me, Senior."

Jinguji Nobuyoshi waved his hand and said, "It's okay. The Jinguji family also started from humble beginnings. Zhuge Chancellor of Shenzhou also worked as a farmer in Nanyang. Dongye Jun is gifted and has the heart of a gentleman. Even if he lives in a humble room for the time being, he will surely achieve something in the future."
