I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 219 Who is ready to fight?
After leaving the restaurant, Risa Hashimoto was about to drive to the parking lot. She looked back at the restaurant which suddenly became noisy, and her eyes fell on a small vehicle stop not far away. Higashino Yu was bending over to unlock the sword bag on his back.

The young man in the white shirt rolled up half of his sleeves, revealing his fair arms that were full of strength and natural beauty. The neon lights cast shadows on his profile, which was hidden in the mysterious darkness like a veil, revealing only a glimpse of his outline.

The facial features on the side facing the light appear even more profound under the division of light and shadow. He frowned slightly, as if thinking about something very important, like the pensive Apollo. Even the way he just unlocks the car is uniquely beautiful.

Risa Hashimoto was observing this younger brother from Sunshine Garden, whom she had only met once, in a trance, and a word emerged in her mind: a disaster for the country and the people.

She didn’t know how many young girls would be fascinated by her in the future. This was what she felt at first.

But thinking about it carefully, after this short period of time together, Hashimoto Risa actually noticed the pride and arrogance in the boy's heart. Although he showed a sincere smile to the guests every day, if you observe carefully, you will find that his smile is full of alienation.

It was a tolerant rejection and a polite euphemism, just like Narcissus turning into a daffodil. Perhaps the only one who could make Dongye fall in love was himself.

"Oh, no, where are my keys?"

Dong Ye Yu bent over and looked for the key for a while but couldn't find it. He was so anxious that he was sweating. "My friend, I'm in a hurry to repay you, so you're making such a fuss for me, right?"

Touching the car lock, Higashino Yu frowned, and a sentence kept echoing in his mind - the price of the car lock is 3,800 yen.

So he leaned on the handlebars and pondered for a while, and suddenly remembered that he was afraid that the car would be stolen, so he didn't even put the key in his trouser pocket, but in his backpack.

"Hashimoto-sister, haven't you driven out yet?"

Dong Yeyu pushed Wuzhui carefully among the large number of electric scooters and bicycles, fearing that the paint would be scratched off. This was his first mount since his reincarnation, so he had to treat it well.

Wuzhui is the name of the electric donkey. Dong Yeyu originally thought that he was kind and benevolent, and had the demeanor of Emperor Zhaolie of Han Dynasty, so he wanted to name the electric donkey Dilu. But he thought that Dilu would harm the owner, and the color was not right. If the front wheel of his donkey was lost one day, it would be the end of him.

In view of its pure and clear, cool black knight paint job that looks like the falling night, I thought of Wuzhui. Although the Overlord committed suicide at the Wujiang River and failed, he is still a hero for all ages!

"You."

Hashimoto Lisa pointed inside the restaurant and said, "The guests in the restaurant, don't you want to go back and explain to me, Higashino-kun?"

"Hashimoto-sister, just call me Ayu. Using honorifics is too formal."

Higashino Yu said with a smile, then stretched his neck to look inside the restaurant, and saw through the window that Kasahara Masato came out and looked at him, so he gave him a thumbs up with a serious look, gripped the handlebars of the black horse with both hands, swung his right leg 360 degrees, and sat astride the electric scooter with his sword drawn across his chest, looking like a great general of ancient times.

"Don't worry, Sister Hashimoto. Mr. Kasahara has worked hard in Tokyo for most of his life and has already made it to the top of the list of restaurant managers. If I were to interfere without knowing the etiquette, it would be an insult to his status as a successful person in Tokyo. He will handle it properly. I believe in the wisdom that Mr. Kasahara has gained from the ultimate in restaurant management over the past 20 years."

Risa Hashimoto took a serious look at Higashino Yu and found that there was a hint of teasing in his expression.

I didn't expect that under this proud and conceited appearance, there is such a humorous soul.

Thinking of this, Risa Hashimoto smiled and felt relieved. At least he really treated her as a family member, so he took off his disguise and mask and showed his true self.

She went to the parking lot and drove out her car, a Lexus city SUV, painted in a festive bright red color, which looked dazzling under the colorful lights of the commercial street.

"I'll lead the way, Yu, you stay behind and be careful."

"learn!"

Dong Ye Yu nodded and put on his helmet - although with his own physical strength, even if he had not yet started practicing the law of heaven and earth, the dump truck in his previous life had already become a monster-like existence in the novice period.

But it is illegal to drive on the road without wearing a helmet in this island country.

A few days ago, I heard that Tokyo has enacted a law requiring bicycle riders to wear helmets, otherwise they will be fined.

Risa Hashimoto drove from the commercial street towards the Koto district, and Higashino Yuya started the engine. The black horse emitted a low roar of electric energy, which was the highest realm of great sound without sound.

"Wu Zhui, let's go."

Dong Yeyu drove his electric scooter on the road with great enthusiasm, but soon encountered the first red light.

Then the second one, the third one
Tokyo was still very congested at night. The two of them stopped and started, and it took them almost an hour to drive from Minami-Senju to the apartment building of Risa Hashimoto.

This is a high-end apartment building with more than 30 floors. It is called a tower building. Its indicators in all aspects have reached the pinnacle of high-rise buildings and are far beyond the reach of other commercial residences.

Of course, the rent and property management fees are also extremely high. The property management fees alone are probably tens of thousands of yen.

Sometimes it is hard to understand these white-collar workers who would rather live in this kind of pigeon coop than a large apartment when they have a nice single-family house.

Dong Yeyu shook his head and parked the electric scooter in the small vehicle parking area under the tower - that is, a crowded parking space for bicycles and electric scooters.

The island country regards electric scooters as small means of transportation. Although they need to be registered, the document processing is simple and quick, and there is no need to pay tolls when driving on the road. It can be said that they are on the same level as bicycles.

After locking the car, he took out a small white talisman from his backpack and stuck it in an inconspicuous place. There was a pair of talismans, one on himself and one on the car.

Not only can it guide the direction, but it can also actively trigger the curse, reducing people's fortune in a short period of time, making them the ultimate unlucky person and the ultimate jinx.

This kind of talisman is actually a kind of divine art - because it is the power of the Inari god that actually reduces people's fortune, and this talisman is equivalent to a medium certificate bestowed by the Inari god.

If there is any daring thief who dares to steal from Grandpa Fox, he will be taught a lesson by Iori's sinister and vicious exorcism skills.

By then, not to mention getting water stuck in your teeth, eating instant noodles without the seasoning packet, tearing off a whole strip of skin on your hand, and getting hurt by a dump truck while walking on the street are all minor issues.

After settling Wuzhui, Dongye Yu took out his school uniform jacket and put it on. It was his first time visiting someone's home, even if the person was a senior from Sunshine Garden, he had to dress appropriately.

Entering the lobby on the first floor of the tower apartment, Risa Hashimoto went to the underground parking lot to park her car, which required a little slow driving, so Higashino Yu waited in the lobby for a while.

There are various rest facilities in the lobby. Some independent spaces are furnished with sofas. The lighting is warm and bright. The space is huge, with some green plants arranged in an orderly manner, giving people the feeling of entering the lobby of a high-end hotel.

However, it was almost ten o'clock at this time, and there were not many residents coming and going. A few boys and girls with colorful hair and nails in their mouths, who looked like bad guys, came in from outside and were laughing, cursing, chasing and fighting.

Several girls entered the apartment, and when they looked up and saw Dong Yeyu, their bodies froze, and they subconsciously restrained their unruly manners, and even their smiles became much gentler. Three hunched-backed young men wearing leather jackets and with retro Beatles hairstyles followed them into the apartment hall, and their eyes fell on Dong Yeyu with hostility.

The three men came over, stretched their necks to look at Dong Ye Yu's chest, and sneered.

"Oh, you are the top student of Tachibana High School. Who are you waiting for here at this late hour?"

Dong Yeyu silently took off his coat, his tense muscles pushing out the outline of his white shirt, and his eight-foot-tall figure cast a shadow over the yellow-haired man. He stretched out his hand and pressed it on the shoulder of one of the young men: "Do you have any opinions?"

"Hiss!" The young man took a deep breath and couldn't even scream. His face twisted immediately and he fell to the ground limply as if he had no bones.

The other two swallowed their saliva when they saw this, and quickly stood at attention and bowed: "No, no, I'm sorry, I'm very sorry to bother you."

After saying that, she picked up the limp young man and ran towards the elevator. The other girls were stunned by this development. There was silence for a moment. They glanced at the young man who kept waving at them in the elevator, bowed stiffly to Dong Ye Yu, and left.

Looking at the backs of the girls, Dong Ye Yu didn't say anything. He chose his own path, and immersing himself in desires is also a way of life.

After that, there was a middle-aged man wearing tight sportswear who came back from a night run, an office worker with a red face and drunken body who had just finished a social event, and an old man with white hair who walked into the elevator with a young girl in his arms.

The girl noticed Dong Yeyu's gaze, threw a business card on the ground, and winked at him.

In just a short while, Higashino Yu has already witnessed several different lives. The melting pot of Tokyo has melted everyone's fate into a chaotic mass, and desires have dragged too many people to walk aimlessly.

Dong Yeyu looked outside the hall. The city lights were connected together like stars in the sky and the Milky Way on the ground. If you looked far away, you would find that they were just clusters of colorful lights.

Is it people’s confusion that is blurred by the neon lights?

"Sorry, there's a problem in the garage. Let's go. My house is on the 26th floor. This is the first time that the younger generation of Sunshine Garden has come to visit my house."

Risa Hashimoto came late from the underground parking lot and said with a smile as she led Higashino Yu into the elevator.

The elevators here require elevator cards, and outsiders cannot use the elevators, ensuring the safety of the residents.

This tower apartment is some distance away from Tokyo Bay, and it is difficult to see the sea even from the highest floors. However, you can see the night view of the city from the upper floors. People who live in tower apartments probably pursue this feeling of overlooking the world.

"I insisted on visiting you. I'm sorry to bother you, Hashimoto-nee."

"You said you were a family before, but now you're being polite?"

"You still have to say some polite words. Dean Miyazaki always says that courtesy is important—"

"——He's not a strange person, right?" Hashimoto Risa continued with a smile: "He is particularly fond of Sinology. Ayu is also proficient in Sinology because of the influence of the dean, right?"

"Ah, well, that's about right." Dongye Yu answered vaguely. The old man really liked to show off his Chinese studies in front of children.

The two took the elevator to the 26th floor, walked out of the elevator, turned a few corners in the hotel-like maze corridor, and saw a blue door not far ahead.

"This is it."

Risa Hashimoto walked over, opened the door, and waved to Higashino Yu.

"excuse me."

Dong Yeyu said politely and entered the entrance hall. The space in the entrance hall was quite large, with a shoe cabinet on the side and a floor-to-ceiling mirror on the left.

I haven't studied Feng Shui, so I don't know what impact this arrangement will have, but it is actually quite convenient to have a floor-to-ceiling mirror to tidy up your appearance when you go out.

The space of the apartment is not small, about 100 square meters, which is a full 100 square meters, with no public areas or anything. The decoration style is modern and simple, with an open kitchen counter connected to the living room and dining room. The windows are bright and clear, and you can look down at the night view of the city outside.

Someone in the room at the end of the corridor seemed to hear someone entering the room and opened the door. It was an old woman about fifty years old.

She is only about 1.5 meters tall and wears a gray nanny uniform, but she has a good temperament, kind eyes, a mole between her eyebrows, and she always smiles, giving people an inexplicable sense of security, making people feel that she is a gentle person at first glance.

"Mrs. Shimamura, how is Mayuri?" Hashimoto Risa asked as soon as she saw the old woman.

Mrs. Shimamura shook her head with a sad face. "It's still the same. I'm afraid of having nightmares when I sleep. I'm going to Sensoji Temple to worship today, and the amulet I asked for doesn't seem to be of any use."

"Is this so"

Hashimoto Lisa rubbed her temple and put her handbag aside, then introduced her to Higashino Yu: "This is the nanny I hired for Mayuri, Mrs. Shimamura. She is a very patient and gentle person."

Higashino Yu bowed slightly to Mrs. Shimamura and said, "I am Higashino Yu, and I am considered to be the younger brother of Sister Hashimoto. Mayuri is grateful for your care."

Miss Hashimoto's brother? Isn't Miss Hashimoto an orphan?
Mrs. Shimamura was a little confused. She had been at the Hashimoto family taking care of Mayuri for more than two years, and had never heard that Miss Hashimoto had a younger brother.

And this young man is quite handsome.
Mrs. Shimamura thought of this and shook her head slightly, putting aside the matter that was not her business, and bowed in return: "Thank you for your courtesy."

After a brief introduction, Higashino Yu unlocked his five senses that had been suppressed, but did not get any clues immediately.

After sniffing hard for a long time under the strange looks of Hashimoto Risa and Mrs. Shimamura, he finally smelled a faint evil aura and smell of blood from the room where Mrs. Shimamura had just come out.

I found you. Higashino Yu put his backpack on the sofa at Hashimoto Risa's house and took out Chengming Ichimonji Nagamitsu from the sword bag.

"Let me go check on Mayuri, Hashimoto-nee."

Is this a real sword?

Risa Hashimoto looked at the extremely valuable ivory-white sword in Higashino Yu's hand in some astonishment. There were unfamiliar Inari patterns painted in gold on the blade, and gold threads were wrapped around the hilt. It looked like a famous sword handed down from generation to generation that had just been taken out of a museum.
