I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 226 Five Senses
The rainy season in Tokyo is always irritating. Once it starts raining, it won't stop. It's not as refreshing as a heavy rainstorm, nor as free and easy as the drizzle of spring rain. It's a drizzle with a strong sense of dampness, and endless mold comes with it.

Is there any magic that can eliminate mold?
Dong Yeyu changed his shoes at the entrance, looked back and saw that the white wall in the corner of the entrance was beginning to turn black and gray, feeling a little tired.

I just brushed it with a toothbrush and alcohol last weekend, and it has grown back in just a few days.
Dong Yeyu took a look at the huge new home, shook his head, held an umbrella, closed the door, passed the carport, and saw the small electric scooter parked there alone. The Black Knight paint was splashed with some rain water. Suddenly, he seemed to hear Wuzhui's sad call.

Oh no, we can't go to Tokyo today.

Dong Yeyu took out some toilet paper, wiped the rearview mirror of his beloved mount, pushed open the gate and walked towards the subway station. The worst thing about the rain was that he had to squeeze into the subway to go to school.

How about asking Miko to come and help me clean up? And Asumi, even though she is a young lady, she is quite capable and a good housekeeper.

Shiori and Kaori also have to come to help, as the house is so big.

Shiori and Kaori are both working, so how can Jinguji-san sit still?
Dong Yeyu pondered and made a plan. During the study session this weekend, he would take out the cleaning tools. They would definitely feel embarrassed to just watch him clean.

As a de facto preacher and mentor, I don't feel embarrassed or guilty about asking them to help with the work. What's more, men and women are equal and everyone has to work.

The time was June 9th, and nearly half a month had passed since the Guhuo Bird was killed.

After killing the Gyouhuo Bird that night, Higashino Yu originally thought that he should get a rating of B-, but probably because it was not Hashimoto Risa herself who was in danger, the gratitude system finally gave a rating of C-, and the reward was a pestle made of an ordinary-looking stone.

It has nothing to do with the pestle in Journey to the West. According to the introduction, it is just one of the tools used by Yangshen Zhenren, who is good at refining medicine, to make medicine all year round.

However, because it had been carefully refined, and because it was made from countless crushed spiritual materials from heaven and earth, it gradually became spiritual.

It doesn't have any special functions. It's just that using this pestle when making medicine can increase the effectiveness of medicinal materials. Dongye Yu has never tried how much it can increase.

After getting this thing, I read the introduction. At first, I wanted to study the refining method of Yangshen Zhenren. However, because of the legal prohibition, I couldn't read it, so I just threw it into the Dongye Treasury.

It is a useless thing for now. It won’t be too late to take it out from the treasure house and use it after you learn alchemy in the future.

After that day, the demons in Tokyo seemed to have calmed down for some reason.

The next day, I told Miss Moon Witch about the matter of the Gyuto Bird, and recorded it in the Moon Witch's Travels in the Kingdom of Darkness. Unfortunately, the stingy Asumi did not give me any reward for the information.

"Since Your Excellency the Knight has discovered the demon, you did not call the Mirror Moon but acted on your own. Don't tell me that a general is not subject to the orders of the king when he is away from home. Anyway, there is no reward this time." Miss Moon Witch said angrily with a cold face.

Later, she got some false information and organized several club activities. Arima was busy practicing sword and made an excuse not to come, and Imagawa also had to help his family run the store, so only Higashino Yu and she went with him.

However, they all returned empty-handed, and the trip turned into a spring outing - of course, it could also be that Miss Moon Witch was unlucky.

So my study life in Tokyo calmed down for nearly a month, and I was able to live the life of a normal high school student.

Miss Moon Witch's Chinese character level is better than that of the average Shenzhou high school student. In addition, she has a good talent for cultivation and comprehension. Two weeks ago, she was able to practice meditation with the help of the Pure and Tranquil Sutra, and now she has embarked on the path of refining essence into energy.

However, because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in Tokyo is thin and impure, the speed of cultivation can only be said to be unsatisfactory. It is estimated that it will take a long time to rely solely on refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and the moon to reach the Yin God stage.

Yuko learns very quickly. She has a good talent for learning, and she studies Chinese characters diligently every day. After a month of study, she has basically reached the level where she can read books and newspapers.

Also, because I have been studying the "Qing Jing Jing", I have recently been able to use it to achieve a state of sitting and forgetting.

However, due to physical reasons, the path of refining essence into Qi is very difficult. Many times, after a whole day of practice, the Qi in the body does not increase much.

Dong Yeyu advised her several times not to rush into practice, but for some reason, this girl just wouldn't listen, as if someone was chasing her.

Dong Yeyu couldn't persuade her, and was worried that she would practice too much. Thinking of the pestle he had been rewarded with, he picked out some spiritual flowers and precious medicines that might help her practice from the list of goods sent by Tao Dong, and prepared to start learning the way of alchemy.

Because there was no master, the alchemy taught in the Daozang was quite difficult to understand - it used coded words or images that could only be understood by master and apprentice through word of mouth.

Therefore, it can be said that there is basically no progress. It probably depends on whether the gratitude system can reward some classics related to alchemy in the future.

At the end of May, Higashino Yu went to the Ministry of Religion, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology to apply for an exorcist qualification certificate. He asked Takigawa Tadahiro to help him and the efficiency was much higher.

I went there in the morning and got the news and it was done in the afternoon.

There were two certificates. One was in the form of a scroll, made of gold brocade with auspicious cloud patterns on it. It looked very delicate and beautiful, probably for people to take home and collect.

The other is a document that can be carried out, which is no different from an ordinary document.

However, what is written above is not the classification of primary, intermediate and advanced levels. Instead, it is a level division modeled after the names of official titles in the ancient Chinese Imperial Observatory. What is written on Dongye Yu's demon hunter certificate is - Wuguan Sichen.

The five sense organs are the abbreviations of spring, summer, mid-autumn, and winter officials.

Although the name sounds nice, it is actually the lowest level in the island country's official system of demon hunters.

The system of demon hunters in the island nation is composed of the Supervisor, Subordinates, Wuguan Lingtailang, Wuguan Baozhangzheng, Wuguan Qihuzheng, Wuguan Jianhou, Wuguan Sili, Luke Doctor and Wuguan Sichen from top to bottom.

In other words, the Wuguan Sichen is equivalent to the ancient clepsydra doctor's assistant who was in charge of setting time, changing time, reporting the watches, and warning of dawn and dusk.

To put it more vividly, it is the official who is responsible for calling out the names of the emperor's guests during the ancient court, that is, the person who shouts "Announce xxxx to meet you".

Wuguan Sichen does not have many benefits. Apart from being able to enter and exit crime scenes involving supernatural powers and check for evidence and clues after reporting, he will also receive some consumables for exorcising monsters for free every month, such as blank talismans, talisman pens, medical supplies, etc.

If you accept at least three official call-ups each year, social security will be paid for free.

In fact, with Higashino Yu's ability, he is more than qualified to be a supervisor, not to mention his facial features and bright appearance. However, due to his shallow qualifications, there is nothing he can do, and he cannot even get a doctorate in clepsydra.

The classic seniority issue in the island nation is also very serious in the world of demon hunters. Probably in most people's impressions, demon hunters with more seniority are generally stronger in both experience and skills.

Therefore, it is more troublesome to upgrade the qualification certificate of the demon hunter.

After getting the certification from the Five Senses, you have to go through a six-month internship before you can get promoted by participating in the demon-hunting operation organized by the Ministry of Religion, Culture, and Science, or by performing demon-hunting on your own and taking written tests and interviews held in the province. Higashino Yu complained about this many times, saying that even demon-hunters still have to do questions, right?
But no matter what, it is considered that I have obtained an officially recognized license for exorcising monsters. Once the internship period is over, I can take on private or official exorcism commissions to subsidize Dongye City.

On the day he got his qualification certificate, Higashino Yu went to take a look at the houses of Jinguji's family.

Finally, we chose a detached house with a garden in Adachi Ward. It is some distance away from Inari Shrine, but close to the junior high school where Miko attends, and the space is much larger than that of an ordinary detached house.

Generally speaking, the space utilization rate of single-family houses in Tokyo is generally very high.

It is different from the Nobita's house and Crayon Shin-chan's house that I saw on TV when I was a child. Basically, a two- or three-story building was built on a small area of ​​60 or 70 square meters, which was squeezed together with the buildings next to it. There was no yard, let alone a gate.

A better design can have a small garage on the ground floor, which is just big enough to fit a small car. There is a road right outside the door, so the security is not very good.

However, the Jinguji family's detached house is different. It covers an area of ​​about 200 square meters. It is an L-shaped two-story Western-style building with a small garden.

The space in the house can be said to be very spacious. When you enter the entrance hall, the living room and open kitchen are on the left, and the space on the right is exaggeratedly given to the bathroom, toilet and laundry room.

The islanders attach great importance to bathing.

There are several rooms on the second floor. Higashino Yu chose the master bedroom. Although Xiuji also has his own bedroom, he prefers to stay with Higashino Yu, saying that "this is the natural duty of Zuoemon."

In fact, I just want to show off myself so that I can get a reward of watching Taiga drama on my phone.

The move was not announced publicly, except to the Iori family, Asumi Sanae and other people who often came to their house. Miss Moon Witch gave them a latest model of game console as a housewarming gift.

But no game disc was given.

Maybe a digital version?

Dong Yeyu opened the game console with great anticipation. The picture on the screen was not clear at the time. He only remembered that the words "want money" were written all over the screen.

Iori's grandfather invited Higashino Yu to Iori's house for a meal to celebrate the move. Miko was not very happy that night until Higashino Yu said that he would pick her up on his bike every weekend. Only then did she lower her eyebrows and say "um." softly.

From the sound of her voice, it seemed that she was neither rejecting nor happy, but Higashino Yu could feel that the girl's mood had improved.

Her body felt better after she practiced meditation. Her energy and spirit were noticeably fuller, and she did not become weak after she began to practice Qi. Perhaps the Cao Huan Dan was still slowly releasing its medicinal power, helping her practice.

Until last weekend, the study group had three more members, reaching a size of six.

The two girls, Kaori and Shiori, finally persuaded Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami to let go, and after getting Higashino Yu's consent, they happily rushed to Higashino's house.

However, what they didn't expect was that Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami also came along under the pretext of keeping an eye on them.

Of course, he did not come empty-handed. He brought some magic spells of the Jinguji family with him to save Higashino Yu from running back and forth.

It doesn't matter whether he lets go one sheep or two sheep. As long as the tuition is paid, Higashino Yu has no objection to Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami coming to attend the lectures.

However, because they also represent the Jinguji family in a sense, the great way of the golden elixir cannot be passed on lightly, so Dongye Yu did not teach them the Qi-refining technique he had researched.

He just taught the two little girls magic to exorcise demons, and occasionally discussed his understanding of practice with Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami.

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami attaches great importance to family. If he teaches it to her, it will be difficult to guarantee that the method of becoming an immortal that he teaches will not become a private scheme of one family a hundred years later. This goes against the original intention of Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun.

If it is taught widely, people with evil intentions will appear. I haven't even achieved the golden elixir yet, so how can I have the time to carefully consider human nature?

Therefore, up to now, Dongye Yu has only passed on the practice method he has comprehended to two people.

When I arrived at school, the rain had stopped. The clouds and fog cleared up so quickly that Dong Ye Yu was so angry that he wanted to greet the mother of the Rain God.

She changed her shoes in the shoe cabinet, which was empty except for her shoes. Without the love letters that used to fill the cabinet, Dong Ye Yu felt a little uncomfortable.

I don't know who spread the rumor that I and Asumi were in a relationship. Now there are fewer girls sending love letters. Many times, I only see one or two letters every few days. They were probably put in secretly.

Miss Moon Witch seemed to be immersed in her own world and did not make any explanation. Although Higashino Yu wanted to clarify, he was happy to have the peace of mind when he saw that the rumor could drive away many high school girls who were pestering him.

As time gets closer to the cultural festival, the atmosphere in the class gradually becomes more lively. The cultural festival will be held for three consecutive days in late June.

Sitting in his seat, Arima Norimune was staring at his bamboo sword in a daze. When he saw Higashino Yu coming, he rode his stool upside down and came to his desk with a clatter.

"Dongye, the Jade Dragon Flag will be held at the end of July. We will go to the battle together then. How is your sword practice going? You haven't come to the club for a while. How about we practice today?"

He grinned confidently.

"I haven't seen you go to the club very diligently during this period. You work for three days and rest for two days. How come you are able to do it again after staying at home for half a month?"

Higashino Yu said jokingly as he took out a book from his bag.

"Hey, what else can we do in the first grade besides doing odd jobs in the club? We usually have to attend the meeting, but it's up to us to really practice."

Arima Norimune said this with a sly smile.

"When a man has been away for three days, he should be treated with new eyes. Dongye, I am now no weaker than you!"

Although these words sounded a bit arrogant, coming from Arima Norimune's mouth, Higashino Yu half agreed with them.

During this period of time, he has indeed made progress in his sword training, and the speed of his progress is extremely fast. After more than a month, if Arima Norimune faces Sugaya Tetsuya again, even though there is an innate physical gap between them, he probably will not lose again.

But if he fights with me, if I use all my strength, he probably won’t be able to take my sword.
