I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 223 Ayu Save Me
Mayuri heard the voice and looked up. Bright sunlight was shining in the corridor through the glass windows on the door sill. It was so white that it looked like it was covered with a hazy filter like in some movies.

An elegant lady was standing at the door. She was very tall and wore a vintage white dress. Her plump figure made the dress look tall and round on her chest. She also wore a small white lace hat decorated with a purple feather.

She has fair skin, a graceful face, bright eyes and red lips, a dark red mole on the left side of her eyebrow, and curly hair, giving her the feel of a classical beauty.

She looked at Mayuri, her eyes smiling like crescent moons, her expression full of love, and her voice as sweet and gentle as honey.

"Mayuri-chan is truly the most beautiful pearl of Awihara China today."

Then he waved at her and said, "Come over here, we are going to visit many places today, and then we will come back here to pack our luggage and say goodbye to the dean, volunteers and teachers."

Mayuri felt the teacher who had helped her put on her clothes gently push her from behind. She took a few steps forward involuntarily, but when she looked up, they had already left St. Mary's Orphanage.

"I've bought tickets to Disneyland. Let's go to the park first. There's your favorite haunted house and roller coaster in there, Mayuri. Then we'll go to the game arcade that you've always wanted to try, Mayuri. Finally, we'll make a reservation at a great restaurant."

Looking back, the St. Mary's Welfare Home, immersed in the hazy morning light, was gilded with gold. The director and teachers were all standing at the door, smiling and waving, and they all seemed happy for themselves.

Mayuri frowned slightly, remembering what Ayu had said before that Sister Cangwu was a monster. If she took her away, what would happen to her in real life?
What should I do with my sister?
After thinking for a moment, Mayuri looked up at Cangwu, who was almost twice her height. After hesitating for a second, she mustered up the courage to say, "Sister Cangwu, can I not leave?"

"Mayuri." Cangwu looked down at Mayuri, who looked serious, and was a little surprised. Then she squatted down holding her skirt, looking at Mayuri at eye level, adjusted her bangs on her forehead, and gently stroked her eyebrows back.

"You have to know that I am the only one in this world who understands you best and loves you the most. Others don't care about you and regard you as a burden. They don't care about you or what you are thinking, let alone empathize with you or communicate with your inner thoughts."

As she spoke, she looked at Mayuri, her eyes sparkling with light: "If you don't leave, can you continue to face such cruel and indifferent people?"

"Now, I'll ask you again, don't regret it this time." Cangwu said with a smile: "Mayuri, are you willing to go with Sister Cangwu? Are you willing to let Sister Cangwu take care of you?"

The voice of the blackbird was as pleasant as ever, but Mayuri had a strange feeling when she listened to it, as if the ground she was standing on had turned into water, into quicksand, into a hole, and she was falling down.

Mayuri looked confused, her eyes blurred: "I"

Before she could finish, she heard a burst of crisp sound of wind chimes again. Mayuri's eyes lit up, and the feeling of falling disappeared in an instant, and she immediately woke up again.

Was the feeling of falling that I just felt caused by Sister Canglu?

Mayuri thought of Ayu's words and became alert. She didn't dare to show that she had come to her senses. She answered with a dazed look in her eyes, "I like Sister Cangwu. Let's go play."

Cangwu was a little surprised by Mayuri's answer. His smile gradually faded. He looked into Mayuri's eyes for a minute, then nodded slowly.

"let's go."

After that, she took Mayuri's hand and got into the car that had been waiting on the road outside the orphanage.

Mayuri sat in the car, looking at the roadside scenery outside the window that was constantly receding, feeling a little confused.

In the past, when I was in a dream like this, I could not wake up no matter what and I had no way of realizing that I was dreaming. Only after waking up did I realize that I was dreaming.

Why is it because of Ayu today?

Is he helping himself secretly?

When Mayu thought of this, she felt safe and asked quietly in her heart, "Ayu, are you there?"

No one answered.

Maybe he was worried about being discovered by Sister Cangwu.

Ayu said that Sister Cangwu was a monster. What would happen if she acted like she had woken up from a dream?

Although Mayuri didn't know what would happen, it was obviously not what she wanted to see.

Try it out first and see how Ayu does it.

Mayuri thought in her heart and began to wonder how Ayu would treat Sister Cangwu at that time.

Although I was reluctant to go with her, she did take me to many places that I had never been to, seen or touched before. What's more, I regained my vision in my dream and saw many beautiful scenery, beautiful people and objects.

What should I do if Ayu wants to hurt Sister Cangwu?

Mayuri fell silent. She knew very well that she was actually very grateful to and liked Aowa very much.

If she just wanted to be friends with me, I would be very willing to do so.

The car took the two of them to a grand Disney amusement park. There was no one inside, not even at the ticket office.

"Let's go!" Cangwu took Mayuri's hand and walked into the gate of the amusement park.

While having fun, Cang Lu completely let go of her noble lady's demeanor, laughed loudly and innocently like a child, and completely and sincerely let go of her heart.

The two chased and joked on the carousel, screamed on the Tron Aurora Wheel, and laughed in the drift tube.

Their figures can be seen in the dwarfs' mine car, their backs can be seen looking for each other in the Alice in Wonderland maze, and they can be seen clapping side by side under the performance stage of the fairy tale castle.

In the mirror of the video game arcade, two people are vaguely seen jumping on the dance machine.
Time passed by at an unpredictable speed, and soon the lights came on and the moon was full in the west building.

Beside the sumptuous and high-class dining table, the gold and silver cutlery reflected brilliant light and shadow. Mayuri had already been immersed in joy, with the gentle voice like honey still lingering in her ears.

"Mayuri, let's go play there!"

"Mayuri, come after me!"

"Mayuri, I found you!"

"Haha, Mayuri, I win!"

"Mayuri, are you done eating?"

"Mayuri, say goodbye to the dean and the teachers."

"Mayuri"

"let's go."

Suddenly waking up, Mayuri found herself back at the door of the orphanage, but the St. Maria Orphanage behind her was swallowed up by the night and no one was standing there.

A passage suddenly appeared at the entrance of the welfare home. It was a tree-lined path. Although it was already night, the path was illuminated brightly by the sunlight. Dewdrops hung on the grass, and there were untimely cherry blossoms on the ground. There were cherry trees on both sides, and the branches were full of flowers.

At the end of the passage was the vineyard that I had imagined, the misty fog of England, the carpet-like grass, the forest with light shining through it, and a rabbit running in formal attire with a pocket watch in its hand.

Everything satisfies my imagination. If there is a legendary paradise, this should be it.

Ayu, sister, should I leave?
Mayuri was led by Cangwu's hand and walked towards the passage. She followed closely behind, calling out to the two of them in her heart. But this time, no bell rang.

Mayuri's mind kept flashing back to the happy times she had with Aoki.

But later, Canglu's figure was gradually replaced by Hashimoto Risa.

She always came to the orphanage to see me, read Braille books with me, read unfamiliar stories to me, and played boring games with me.
When I was sick, Risa Hashimoto sat by my bed, humming nursery rhymes and looking at the thermometer. When I was sad, she hugged me and took me out of the darkness.

She does not fail to care for herself, nor does she fail to understand herself.

Mayuri suddenly wanted to see Hashimoto Risa's face, but no matter how hard Mayuri tried, she couldn't remember what Hashimoto Risa looked like.

Her face and figure were both blurry, as if separated by a thick layer of frosted glass, and as he gradually approached the passage, the figure became even more blurry.

Mayuri suddenly realized that she had never seen her sister's face before.

Are you leaving now?
Am I going to lose my sister forever?

阿瑜
Who is Ayu?

Mayuri felt the panic in her heart, but suddenly wondered, what was she afraid of?
She suddenly stopped and touched her chest.

"Sister Cangwu, I feel sad. Can we not leave?"

At this moment, a breeze seemed to blow past my ears, and the sound of wind chimes rang again.

Ayu, Hashimoto Lisa, Mrs. Shimamura, the dean, Suzune.
Mayu imagined everything.

She let go of Cangwu's soft and slender hand, took a few steps back, and looked at the surprised Cangwu with some horror.

Calm down and talk nicely. Sister Canglu has always been very gentle. Maybe...
Mayuri forced herself to calm down for a while, pursed her lips and said, "Sister Cangwu, I can't bear to leave you, can we be friends? Don't take me away."

"But you've already..." Cangwu said this and fell silent - Mayuri did not agree to go with him.

What a rascal.

She then withdrew her hand, with the smile on her face unchanged, and asked sincerely: "Mayuri, tell me, how did you wake up?"

"Are you a monster? Sister Cangwu?"

"I know even without you telling me that your incompetent sister hired a demon exorcist, right?"

"My sister is very nice to me." Mayuri retorted a little angrily.

"Is it good for you to have me?"

The smile on Cangwu's face was tinged with sadness. "Can she understand you, love you, and care about you as completely as I do? You don't want to go with me just because I'm a monster?"

"Because of our different identities, there is a natural malice towards you. Just because I'm a monster, Mayuri-chan has ignored my love for you for so long. Have you forgotten the time we spent together?"

"Humans are such stupid, evil, and forgetful creatures."

Cangwu sighed, and the love in his eyes towards Mayuri did not diminish at all: "But I still love you, Mayuri."

"You have to leave with me. The world is constantly hurting you. People's indifference and neglect will kill you. You have to leave with me. This is not a question. I am doing this for your own good, Mayuri."

As Cangwu spoke, the scenery around him began to collapse. Whether it was the St. Mary's Welfare Home or the brightly lit streets, they all disappeared in a short period of time, leaving only the glowing tree-lined path.

She reached out and grabbed Mayuri's shoulders, controlling her to prevent her from escaping, and took the feather from her hat and put it to her ear.

"That way you won't hear the annoying noise of flies."

Hashimoto Risa suddenly noticed that Mayuri began to tremble wildly, and she shouted under the bed in panic: "Ayu, Mayuri!"

Don't worry, I will take action. Dong Yeyu used his magic power to activate the wind chimes, which produced a pleasant and dreamy sound.

what happened?

Higashino Yu frowned, jumped through the bed board and jumped onto the bed, and found that no matter how he shook the wind chimes, Mayuri's trembling lying on the bed could not be soothed.

No consumption!
Dong Yeyu's expression became serious. While sniffing the source of the evil spirit, he was thinking of a countermeasure in his mind.

However, this evil spirit was like rootless water, as if it was born from the void. Apart from Mayuri's body, its source could not be found anywhere else.

At this time, Mayuri, who was lying on the bed, suddenly stood up, got out of bed, and started walking out barefoot with her eyes closed, as if sleepwalking.

Risa Hashimoto subconsciously reached out to pull him, but was pulled so hard that she staggered and fell off the bed.

Where does such great strength come from? Hashimoto Risa looked up in astonishment and hurriedly stood up to wake Mayuri.

Higashino Yu hurriedly stopped him: "Mayuri is now immersed in the dream woven by the demon. We can't wake her up so roughly, otherwise it may cause irreparable harm to Mayuri."

"Ayu, do you have any ideas?" asked Risa Hashimoto.

"Let me think."

Higashino Yu was a little confused. Now he was the only one who entered Mayuri's dream, but the problem was that he had never sent dreams to anyone before and had no experience in this area. What if something went wrong?
Moreover, that dream was the demon's home turf, and if a big fight broke out, Mayuri's consciousness might be affected.

Risa Hashimoto glanced at Higashino Yu and saw that he seemed to be still thinking while Mayuri had already left the bedroom and walked towards the door, so she ran over to block Mayuri, but was pushed several meters away by the weak-looking little girl.

She quickly stood up, stopped in front of the door, and asked Dong Yeyu anxiously, "Where is she going?"

"Go to where the demon is. Stepping out of the door has a special meaning in the mysterious realm. As long as Mayuri walks out of the door, she probably won't be able to come back."

When Higashino Yu said this, he saw Mayuri pulling Hashimoto Risa away and was about to open the door, so he spoke decisively.

"Ms. Hashimoto, please take good care of Mayuri. I will go to her dream to meet the demon."

As soon as he finished speaking, Higashino Yu turned into a ray of spiritual light and drilled into Mayuri's Niwan Palace, which is where the soul is located.

At first it was pitch black, like the lightless deep space. I didn’t know how much distance I had flown or how much time I had spent. It could have been a moment, or it could have been forever.

Dong Ye Yu suddenly noticed a bright light in front of him. Upon closer inspection, he saw that it was a passage and two people were walking towards it.

One of them was Mayuri, and the other was a tall, plump woman in a white dress.

When Dong Yeyu saw this, the spirit fox transformed by his soul suddenly expanded, and the mist surged, transforming into a two-tailed giant fox the size of a truck. Its claws like blades were attached with a hazy spiritual light, and it pounced silently towards the woman.
