I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 228 Juggernaut
"That's Higashino-kun from Class B. Why are they dressed like that?"

"I heard it's a project for their class's cultural festival. It seems to be called the Male Butler Cafe?"

"Male Butler Cafe? Is that true?"

The eyes of the female high school students surrounding Class 1B suddenly lit up. Even though Higashino-kun and Asumi-kun were already in a relationship, they couldn't be blamed for participating in this kind of class project, a male butler cafe at that.

Even if you can't eat the pork, you should get closer and observe it carefully. If you can take a photo, that would be great.
Thinking of this, the female high school students all looked towards Dong Yeyu who was sitting by the window in the back row, like a pack of wolves that had been hungry for several months suddenly seeing a lone strong and healthy bull.

"Dongye, I discovered a problem with you a long time ago. Although you are very talented, have a good physical fitness, quick reaction, and monster-like strength, you are slightly lacking in swordsmanship changes and responses."

Higashino Yuzheng was chatting with Arima Norimune about swordsmanship. Although he looked unreliable, he did have some insights into swordsmanship - but many of his words did not sound like they could come from his mouth.

Dong Ye Yu was about to answer when he suddenly felt as if some malicious eyes were focused on him. He became alert and looked up. He met the enthusiastic gazes of those female high school students and fell silent.

It seems that I have made a wrong decision, but Miss Moon Witch will definitely not sit idly by, so I have to believe it first and then believe it!

"what happened?"

Arima Norimune followed his gaze, turned back, swallowed his saliva, and moved closer to Dongye Yu, and whispered like a dog-headed military advisor: "Dongye, it seems that they are all coming for you, what should we do?"

"Sorry, sorry, the cafe has just opened for business during the Cultural Festival. We are still in the preparation stage. Please wait until the cafe opens on the day!"

Seeing that something was not right, Yuki Wada bowed and said with a smile, closing the classroom door very politely. She only breathed a sigh of relief when the frosted glass door blocked the enthusiastic sight of the female high school students.

The lively scene before her made her feel as if she was seeing the first successful cultural festival plan she had led on that day.

If nothing unexpected happens, the class fees should also surge by then. Whether it is to buy learning materials and place them in the class as public learning items or to organize other activities in the class in the future, sufficient financial support will be available.

This is related to whether the entire high school career of the students in Class B of Grade 1 will get off to a good start.

When Yuki Wada thought of this, she felt that her thin shoulders were carrying the aspirations of thirty classmates for high school life. She felt a lot of pressure but also a lot of motivation.

Wow!

He closed the door and turned around like an eagle, his eyes just met Higashino Yu who was sitting and chatting with Arima Norimune and Imagawa Kashiwagi. Then he glanced at the group of male students with a determined look.

I'll leave it to you guys!

"What should we do?" Higashino Yu looked at him strangely, then at Imagawa Kashiwagi, and finally at the other boys in the class.

"Tung Ye-san is going to have to bear the brunt of this."

"Thanks to Tono-kun."

They were all watching the fun with a smile on their faces - since it wasn't directed at them anyway, and with Higashino-san attracting the attention, even their social phobia had improved.

Dongye Yu sat in his seat and shook his head: "I don't understand why everyone is talking about my situation at the cultural festival, as if this year's cultural festival is destined to be bad for me, Dongye."

"A few months ago, I set out on a study trip from Kyoto to Tokyo. I ranked sixth in the entrance exam, and the fans of Tachibana High School were united. Wherever Higashino went, the virgin high school students welcomed him wholeheartedly. It was really a perfect timing!
That state of vigorous vitality and the flourishing of all things is still before our eyes——"

"--So!"

Yuki Wada clapped his hands, interrupted Higashino Yu's speech, and quieted down the male students who were discussing in the class.

"Let's start today's training!"

At the end of the corridor, Asu saw Sanae walking quietly among the crowd of students to the other end of the corridor. She saw that the door of Class 1-B was closed and no one was going in or out. She frowned slightly.

After asking around, I learned that Class B was preparing for the cultural festival.

Cultural Festival?
Oh, the Butler Cafe?

Asumi Sanae remembered that Higashino Yu asked her for help a month ago.

Although the Knight is extremely capable and has the power to defeat the night, he is also entangled by the bond that connects the world and people.

We probably won’t be able to explore the mysteries of the world together today.

The girl heard the voices of men and women in the classroom without any emotion, and walked towards the club activity room to meet up with Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami.

She had actually already prepared a strategy to rescue the knight, but she was quite hesitant.

It is rare for Your Excellency the Knight to be forced to do something against his will. If it ends like this, wouldn't it be a bit too hasty?
She thought for a moment, a cunning smile on her lips. Of course she would save him, but not necessarily in the way he imagined.

The time for practicing as waiters was not very long. School ended at around 3:40. The male students were divided into waiters to greet guests and waiters to receive guests. Yuki Wada and some girls appeared as simulated guests.

Then everyone carried out simulation work according to what was written in the details and what was seen in the video tutorial.

The practice was disbanded after half an hour, and the detailed rules and video teaching were more relaxed than some of the requirements of the Duke's Residence of Kobayashi where Higashino Yu worked part-time.

Therefore, Dongye Yu seemed to be at ease in his work. He was neither fawning and greasy, nor cold and distant. He just found the right balance, making every female student who imitated the customer feel that he seemed to have a genuine concern for them.

They all felt that he seemed to understand their feelings and could empathize with their souls.

Unfortunately, as soon as the time in the simulated coffee shop was over, the other party changed his face and turned back into his usual classmate in an instant, as if what happened just now was just his own fantasy, a projection of another timeline, not real.

A feeling of loss came over me.

The girls who had simulated with Higashino Yu began to frequently lose connection or behave strangely by looking at him involuntarily, and the subsequent simulations did not go smoothly.

Higashino-san. Upon seeing this, Wada Yuki fell silent. If she didn't know that this project was very important, she would probably have fallen into a similar situation.

Although it is indeed a powerful weapon to rip off the customers, it is like the Demon Disintegration Technique, which hurts several people before hurting the enemy. I don’t know how many people are tossing and turning and unable to sleep now.

If this goes on, all the girls in the class will start to have unrequited love for me. That's not good.

Yuki Wada bit the hair tie while gathering her hair, quickly tied it into a neat high ponytail, and looked at Higashino Yu with a serious expression.

If I don’t go to hell, who will? From now on, let me simulate it, Mr. Higashino!

"That's all for today. Thank you for your cooperation."

As she spoke, she bowed to the male and female students. The female students followed closely and left the classroom to provide space for the male students to change their clothes. She suddenly turned her head and took a look at Higashino, who looked calm as if nothing had happened. She felt a sense of sadness as if spring was passing away with the passing of water and flowers.

Wada Yuki walked up to Higashino Yu and said helplessly in a low voice: "Higashino-kun's simulation is a bit... Sazhi and the others have some unrealistic fantasies. I'll accompany you in simulation in the future."

Akihiro Morita, who was joking with his friend while keeping his eyes on Wada Yuki, heard this and the smile on his face suddenly turned into astonishment: "Huh?"

A female student who was walking to the door seemed to have heard it somehow, and told the girls who were walking with her. Several girls immediately turned around, changing their previous trance and sadness, and stared at the class monitor with sharp eyes.

Even if there is no possibility in the end, even if hell lies ahead, that is the fantasy dream woven by Dongye himself. We are willing to immerse ourselves in the falsehood and will never allow you to destroy it!

After Wada Yuki turned around and left the classroom, the girls surrounded him and said in unison, "Class monitor, you can't eat alone!"

"Monitor, are you going to ruin our youth?"

"Yuuki-chan, you've changed."

Wada Yuuki glanced at them speechlessly, signaled that the male students behind him could hear him, and led everyone to the cooking classroom. On the way, Wada Yuuki said seriously: "Didn't you notice that everyone was distracted today? If this continues, the training progress of the male butlers will be seriously slowed down. Next weekend is the cultural festival. We are usually busy with schoolwork and don't have much time for simulations. In order for the project to proceed smoothly, I have to be sacrificed."

Sazhi and the others looked surprised when they heard this, then said with a smile: "I think you can sacrifice me."

"I have already made up my mind to sacrifice myself."

"My father is the abbot of Wenshu Monastery. Who else but me would feed the tiger with my own body?"

"Stop joking." Yuki Wada felt a little tired.

A cute round-faced girl with short hair said seriously, "You were the one who made the joke first."

Seeing that he couldn't fool them, Wada Yuuki weighed the options in his mind for a while, "How about this? If you carefully help other students simulate three sets of processes between customers and waiters in a coffee shop, you can get a simulation with Higashino-kun. How about that?"

When everyone heard this, they smiled happily and became friendly again.

"Onboard!"

There seemed to be some noise outside the classroom. Dong Yeyu looked outside the frosted glass door with some surprise, but the noise soon died down as if it had gone far away.

It was not even five o'clock yet, and I was planning to resign today anyway. I had already told Kasahara Masato about this in advance. He was probably mentally prepared for my departure, so he didn't say much, but just asked me to go to the store to settle this week's salary.

Dong Yeyu is no longer in a hurry to catch up with the part-time job.

Seeing that there was still enough time, he changed clothes with Imagawa Kashiwagi, Arima Norimune and others and started heading towards the school's kendo hall.

Tokyo is always rainy in autumn. It was a rare sunny morning, but by this time the sky started to become gloomy again, with some rain clouds gathering. The wind kept blowing around, making the well-trimmed bushes on the campus sway back and forth. There was the sound of the wind whistling in my ears, probably a sign of rain again.

The blue curtains of the kendo hall were blown all over the place. Once inside, the ears were not much quieter. The sound of the wind was replaced by the students' powerful shouts and the sound of bamboo swords clashing.

Because the Yulong Flag Competition was approaching, there were many students still training in the kendo hall. President Yasuhara Kazuji was also honing his swordsmanship with several senior students. Everyone was very focused, so the entry of Higashino Yu and others only attracted the attention of a few people.

Put on your kendo uniform,
"Are you ready?" asked Dong Yeyu.

Arima Norimune really wanted to directly adopt the defensive lower stance, but he felt that this was too passive. If he adopted this momentum-depleting posture during a battle, there would be no need to practice it later.

Then she got into the middle pose and nodded: "I'm coming! Aa ...

He roared with great momentum, giving people the feeling of a reckless man, but his steps were quite methodical. He did not fight Dong Ye Yu head-on, but used a special step that had never been seen before. He suddenly rushed to the blind spot and then launched a surprise attack.

"Chase the wind! Noodles!" Arima Norimune shouted, and the bamboo sword in his hand rolled up a special breeze and slashed towards Higashino Yu's helmet.

This was an ancient sword technique move that attracted a lot of attention in the kendo hall. Some people even stopped fighting and started watching.

Higashino Yu reacted quickly, and stepped back quickly before the bamboo sword hit his helmet. At the same time, relying on the advantage of his long arms, he slashed horizontally using the Katori Shinto-ryu technique to cut off the flow.

Arima Norimune jumped back dangerously, but then continued his attack, swinging the bamboo sword in his hand and using a rapid slashing technique similar to the Garuda King Sword to attack forward.

However, the slight difference is that the momentum of each slash is only slightly weaker than a full-strength blow, and requires a higher level of strength and body control.

Ta-ta-ta-ta!

Higashino Yu responded calmly, constantly blocking his attacks with the bamboo sword in his hand, and did not use extraordinary strength to suppress him. But even so, he quickly found a flaw, and after making preparations for the back hand, he did not hesitate to use the Jinguji-ryu technique, the Swallow Strike.

The bamboo sword seemed to turn into a light swift in an instant, piercing through Arima Zemune's numerous sword shadows like splashing water, and hit his body with a crisp sound.

At the moment when Higashino Yu cut down Narimazawa Muneto with his bamboo sword, he was stunned. Although Higashino Yu did not have any Qi He, he knew that he had already lost.

The whole person became listless and listless.

"I lost again, but this kind of swordsmanship is really not good enough."

Arima Norimune sat on the ground in a daze, looking as dead as a ash.

Dong Ye Yu wanted to comfort him, but he saw that the boy suddenly turned his eyes away, as if thinking of something, and fixed them on him, his eyes as bright as a husky in the middle of the night.

He immediately changed from sitting limply in the cross-legged position to the flying wild goose position.

"Dongye, I have one more thing I want to ask of you!"

"Wait a minute! Tell me what's going on first."

Dong Ye Yu didn't buy it and immediately dodged to the side.

When Arima Zemune saw that he dodged his seat at the first opportunity, he smiled awkwardly and knelt in front of him.

"You are probably the only one who would believe me about this, and you are the only one who can do it."

He said this and glanced at the students who were watching him: "Let's go change our clothes and talk on the way."

After changing clothes, I happened to run into Anyuan Hesi who was taking a break.

"Higashino-kun! And Arima-kun! Were you two fighting over there just now? What an exciting duel!"

"Haha, where is it?"

The few of them exchanged greetings with the president, Yasuhara Kazushi, and left the kendo hall. They were originally invited to the kendo hall as nominal foreign aid, and Yasuhara Kazushi didn't have the nerve to ask them to stay and participate in the training. Seeing that they were in quite good shape, he felt relieved.

It started to drizzle outside, and several people held up transparent umbrellas.

Arima Norimune pondered for a moment and said, "Tono, Imagawa, aren't you curious about why my swordsmanship has improved so much in such a short time?"

"Practice hard?"

"Admitted to a famous academy?"

"Neither." Arima Norimune waved his hand, showing a proud expression: "It's because I got personal instruction from a sword master."

"Juggernaut?"

Dongye Yu was a little surprised. The island country's sword master actually does not refer to a master who specializes in swordsmanship, but a weapon master, a person who is proficient in various weapons.

Therefore, don't feel strange when the sword master pulls out a musket from his crotch and performs American Iai while fighting. This is normal.

Compared to the reputation gained in ancient times, the modern sword master seems more like a marketing product, but it is not something that ordinary people can see.

"May I ask if this kind of person is your relative?" Dong Ye Yu asked curiously.

"That's about right. If others don't believe me, I won't tell them. But Dongye, you are a genuine demon exorcist."

Arima Norimune didn't keep anyone in suspense.

"In fact, that sword master is an ancestor of my family. His soul resides in the broken samurai sword passed down in the family. He claimed to be a famous sword master in the Tanba area of ​​the Warring States Period. He was the number one general serving the Kuchiki family of the Fukuchiyama Domain. Unfortunately, the Fukuchiyama Domain changed hands several times, and my family fell into decline."
