I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 232 The Moon Witch Comes to Me
Arima Norimune was a little hesitant. He knew Higashino Yu's family situation. It could be said that he started from scratch and only earned some money from working part-time in the past two months. That little money seemed like a lot, but if he lived frugally in Tokyo, he would only be able to live for less than half a year.

I didn't have much money to begin with, and now it's been cut in half. I won't starve to death, right?
"But--"

"Don't worry, I still have 350,000 yen on me. The house I live in now is lent to me for free, and I only pay for water and electricity, so my cost of living is very low."

Dong Yeyu had a relaxed smile on his face, but his heart was bleeding. This was 350,000 yuan. Although he learned something useful, it was totally a loss.

But after spending so much money at one time, I suddenly felt a little worried about the future. For example, what if I don’t get any orders for exorcising monsters?
The money earned from tutoring Yuko is not enough.

"But then again, if you insist on giving it to me..."

"Dongye, I believe in your ability." Arima Norimune said seriously, I can still take out the thirty-five yuan myself, so you should sell me for the three hundred and fifty thousand.

You? Dong Yeyu curled his lips. It seems you are just being polite to me, right?
The two chatted as they went downstairs. The smell of fried food came from the kitchen. Mrs. Arima seemed to be cooking.

"How about having dinner at my house?" Arima Norimune stretched his neck to look around. "It seems we have croquettes at home tonight."

"Forget it, I have to go to the restaurant later to handle some matters related to my resignation."

Higashino Yu said goodbye and left the Arima family. By this time, night had fallen and the night breeze was cool and pleasant. The city lights in the distance were just coming on, the residential areas were brightly lit and every house was filled with fragrance. Even some families who had eaten early had started to go out for shopping. Just standing on the road, one could feel the leisurely and peaceful atmosphere.

Take a deep breath and walk towards the subway station.

Higashino Yu was going to take the subway to Minami-Senju, go to the Duke Kobayashi's residence to announce his resignation and collect his salary for this week.

The lighting in the entrance of Duke Kobayashi's residence is as bright and brilliant as ever, but it is slightly dimmed in the restaurant to create a sense of atmosphere. The interweaving of light and shadow divides the space, giving it a strong sense of design.

"Higashino-kun? Are you planning to start a part-time job?"

When regular customers saw Dong Ye Yu passing by in school uniform, their eyes lit up and they greeted him. Dong Ye Yu smiled at them.

"Good evening, Ms. Tagawa, Ms. Ito, everyone misunderstood. I am actually here to resign. I am very grateful for your care all along."

As he spoke, he bowed to these regular customers, then walked towards the staff area with steady and quick steps without getting hurt, leaving the long-awaited guests staring at his back in a daze.

dong dong dong.

Dong Yeyu came to the manager's office and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Higashino Yu had called in advance, so Kasahara Masato did not leave work early. Instead, he sat behind his desk as usual, wearing a well-tailored brown-gray suit. He had been waiting there for a long time.

The two smiled at each other and closed the door. They heard some surprised voices of the guests outside. The melodious sound of the third unaccompanied violin suite in E major suddenly became muffled, as if it was being played underwater.

"So, has Tono-kun made up his mind?"

Masato Kasahara looked at the young man sitting opposite him and sighed in his heart, has this day finally come?

Although I know that Dongye Yu is not an ordinary person and that he is just staying here for now and will leave Duke Kobayashi's Residence sooner or later, I didn't expect that this day would come so soon. It's only been two months and he's leaving already?
For the sake of the performance of Duke Kobayashi's residence and his own bonus, he was ready to make a final effort and persuade him seriously.

"It's not easy to live in Tokyo. Higashino-kun's family situation is not that good. Besides studying, he also needs a stable and high-paying job, right? Why did you suddenly want to quit? Are you dissatisfied with the salary or for some other reason?"

"Thanks to you, the salary is very generous, not because of the money or anything else." Dong Ye Yu explained with a smile.

"It's just because I want to focus on my studies. My dream is to cross the Akamon Gate. After a school test some time ago, I found that I am still a little far from this dream. I am anxious, so I am ready to concentrate on studying."

Dong Ye Yu spoke out the speech he had prepared.

This reason is impeccable. After all, the purpose of working part-time is to have the money to study in Tokyo, and for most students, the dream of being admitted to the University of Tokyo may not be realized even if they try their best.

Kasahara Masato nodded slightly: "Then how do we solve the problem of the source of living funds?"

"I have saved a lot of money from working these past two months. If I save a little, it will last me a year or two."

There was silence for a few seconds. Kasahara Masato sighed and leaned over to take out an envelope from the drawer below him. The envelope looked quite thick. If it was all from Fukuzawa Yukichi, it would probably contain around 100,000 yen.

"This is my personal thank you gift to Dongye-kun. It's not much, but it's my sincere token of appreciation."

"Thanks to your help, the Duke Kobayashi's Residence has attracted more and more guests, and its reputation has finally spread. A few days ago, a food critic came to dine in disguise. I read the food review column today. The female critic praised our restaurant's dishes and dining environment, and especially praised Dong Yejun for his competence as a waiter."

He stood up, put the envelope on the table, pushed it towards Dongye Yu with both hands, smiled and bowed: "I wish you good luck in the future. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can call me. I have some connections in Tokyo over the years and may be able to help. If you have financial difficulties, you can come back at any time. Dongye Yu is always welcome in the Duke Kobayashi's residence."

"I will. Thank you for your care during this period." Dong Ye Yu took the envelope and bowed in return.

"If you encounter anything strange, you can call me. I'm leaving, Mr. Kasahara."

Strange thing?
Masato Kasahara looked at Higashino Yu with some confusion as he left, feeling puzzled. What could be stranger than a high school student from a poor family suddenly resigning?
It was around eight o'clock in the evening when Dong Yeyu came out of the subway station. The subway station was only two streets away from the residential area where he lived. Compared with his usual time of returning home at nine or ten o'clock, it was relatively early.

I felt great when I resigned, but when I walked out of the subway, felt the cool breeze, and was walking alone on the street, I started to feel a little uneasy.

Including the 100,000 yen donated by Mr. Kasahara, I now have 450,000 yen plus some change.

Fruits and vegetables are very expensive here on the island. If you want to eat something natural, you have to buy them carefully. For someone like me who doesn't have a stable source of income at the moment, I might have to go back to the days of grabbing discounted bento boxes every day.

Fortunately, the Jinguji family lent me a house to live in, so I saved a lot of money and could survive for a while.

I don’t know if Yuanjun fell into a deep sleep again or what. Last time he said he wanted to visit Tokyo, I paid the deposit, but there has been no news since then.

If you don't receive any more orders for exorcism, write to them and ask what's going on.

The extra time at night may be used to browse more information shared by other exorcists on the Internet.

Although most governments in the world prohibit the spread of supernatural news through the Internet, demon hunters also have a special semi-official network server, which is somewhat similar to the dark web.

You can log in by entering a specific domain name. It is no different from a forum and is used to share information with other demon hunters. Sometimes some demon hunters will also post transaction information on it in exchange for the items they need.

You can also go out for a walk and look for evil demons.

But should we bring Miss Moon Witch along?
She is no longer a mortal now, and the process of refining essence into energy is quite rapid. It can only be said that she is worthy of being a human being. It would take her several years to build a foundation, but Miss Moon Witch only needs about a hundred days.

Dong Ye Yu pondered for a moment, but still shook his head. Her cultivation was not enough and her skills were unfamiliar. It would be easy for something to get into trouble if she was brought along.

When I am sure that the monster I encountered is very weak, maybe I can take her with me. While thinking about the future, Dong Yeyu soon arrived at the gate of his own yard.

Standing at the gate of the courtyard, looking at the single-family house where he lives now, with Higashino's surname posted on the gate, he slapped his face and thought, didn't he live in a small house of about ten square meters when he first came to Tokyo?
The situation is much better now than before.

Dong Ye Yu pushed open the gate and walked in. Xiu Ji seemed to have heard the noise and was squatting at the entrance to greet him.

"My lord has worked so hard, I wish I could take his place."

"Is everything okay at home today?" Dong Ye Yu asked as he changed his shoes and walked towards the kitchen.

Xiuji followed him quickly and steadily on his two bird legs, speaking at the same time.

"My Lord, Dongye City is peaceful today. However, when I was basking in the sun on the roof, I discovered that many strange monsters appeared around Dongye City."

"They broke in?"

"It seems like he is just passing by, but it also seems like he is spying on Dongye City."

When I practice cultivation, I can gather spiritual energy from heaven and earth in a large area. Maybe these monsters are attracted here because of this?

Dong Yeyu pondered for two seconds, then waved to Xiu Ji: "You go back to your room and practice. I will visit Jinguji's house this weekend and borrow some materials to set up a formation at home to drive away those inexplicable little monsters."

Xiuji lowered his head in shame when he heard this: "Xiuji is incompetent and has caused the lord to lose face. This is the fault of the eunuchs."

"If you know your sins, then practice hard. Only when you become stronger can you help me in the future." Dong Ye Yu gave a simple lecture.

"My Lord, what you said is absolutely true."

Xiuji squatted there, and after saying this, he didn't say anything or move.

Dong Yeyu was surprised: "What's the matter?"

"A bird that has done nothing has no face to ask for anything. But today is the last episode of Komei Taikoden."

Xiuji said this in a somewhat coy tone, raising his bird head, his small, round eyes like obsidian were filled with tears: "My Lord, can you lend me your cell phone?"

"Can't I watch TV?"

Higashino Yu nodded towards the big TV in the living room. The Jinguji family paid the monthly NHK fee, so they could watch TV for free. Xiuji couldn't practice during the day, so if he wasn't out on patrol, he basically stayed at home watching TV.

Xiuji's wings trembled, a little embarrassed: "My lord, the TV program will not be broadcast until late at night, but you can watch it on your mobile phone in advance. My lord, you don't know that the Adachi family is quite hateful, arrogant and cunning. I can't wait to see Kikuchiyo kill the Adachi family and become the regent."

Guanpaku originally means "to state or to report", which comes from the "Book of Han·Biography of Huo Guang and Jin Midi" which says "all matters must be reported to Guanpaku first, and then to the emperor", which means that any major event must be stated or reported to Huo Guang first, and then reported to the emperor.

This word was introduced to Japan by Tang envoys, and gradually became an important position for the Japanese emperor to assist the prime minister in all affairs after he came of age.

However, he had great power and was even able to undermine the Japanese emperor, which was somewhat similar to the prime ministers during the Qin and Han dynasties.

Dong Ye Yu pondered for two seconds. Xiu Ji has been practicing hard every night in recent times. Sometimes he even has to fly thousands of miles to check on some benefactors whose addresses can be confirmed. It is indeed hard work.

Thinking of this, he carefully handed him the fruit phone given by Miss Moon Witch.

"Take good care of it. If I find any scratches—"

"My lord, please rest assured. If the cell phone is damaged, I will die as a token of apology!" Xiu Ji thanked him loudly.

"That's not necessary. Just be careful." Dong Ye Yu waved his hand.

Xiuji bowed again, then happily jumped upstairs holding her cell phone.

Dongye Yu took out the discounted lunch boxes stored in the refrigerator, heated them up in the microwave, and carried them back to the room on the second floor.

The place I live in now is not the master bedroom, but the second bedroom, mainly because the lighting in the master bedroom is not very good.

And this room is facing the sun. Not only can you see the sunrise every morning through the window, but there is also a large balcony after opening the floor-to-ceiling windows, which makes it convenient for you to collect purple energy.

I sat down at the desk and turned on the desk lamp. Under the bright warm yellow light, the teriyaki chicken bento filled with the aroma of meat was steaming hot.

Dongye Yu scooped a big mouthful of rice with a spoon, and at the same time took out an exercise book, a notebook, paper and pen from his schoolbag, preparing to study for a while. After Xiuji finished reading the "Kou Ming Taiko Chuan", he would go to surf the Demon Master Forum.

at this time,

Boom!
It seemed like something hit the glass window.

Wow!

Dong Yeyu put down the spoon, opened the curtains and saw that it was a suction arrow stuck in the glass of his floor-to-ceiling window, and the tail of the arrow was still trembling.

Whose naughty kid is playing a prank?

Dong Ye Yu frowned, opened the French window and went to the balcony.

call out!
Another arrow flew straight towards his face. Dong Yeyu quickly snatched the arrow and glared in the direction where the arrow came from. After seeing the person clearly, he was shocked to find that Miss Moon Witch was standing on the balcony on the second floor of the opposite mansion, holding a toy bow, looking down at him.

She was wearing a red dress, and her straight legs were wrapped in pure cotton white tights, outlining the graceful curves of a girl.

The moonlight was draped over her body like a silver gauze, with her brows lowered and her expression holy and solemn.

"Sir Knight, are you aware of the sins you have committed?"

Dong Yeyu was stunned: "What's wrong with me?"

"From 5 to 7 p.m. in the Kingdom of Night, I called you several times in Mirror Moon, but I didn't get a single response. I couldn't help but think of the last time you took the initiative to get rid of the Mie Guhuo Bird, and your carelessness when you followed me in the investigation during this period. It seems that your heart is drifting away from Mirror Moon."

Asumi Sanae said this with a serious look on her face, her ice-blue eyes frighteningly bright in the moonlight.

"I will not allow such a thing that would bring shame to the witch to happen."
