I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 234 Tachibana Cultural Festival

Kaori and Shiori surrounded Higashino Yu on the left and right.

Shiori propped up her fair and tender face with her left hand, reached out and took a piece of strawberry daifuku from the dessert plate on the table and stuffed it into her mouth. It was bulging like a little hamster, and she asked vaguely, "Is it the dessert kitchen?"

"No."

"Is it the dressing room?" Kaori was looking at herself with a small mirror.

"Neither, it's just a simple and plain coffee shop plan."

"The cafe is not bad, Tono Nissan, can we go check it out then?"

"If both of you work hard on your training these few days, I can consider it."

Higashino Yu, who was sitting next to the kotatsu, answered with a smile, saying that Miss Moon Witch would definitely take action anyway, so there was no need to worry about social death.

"Great!"

The two girls cheered, but Shiori didn't stop eating snacks, and Kaori quietly opened a fashion magazine.

Dong Yeyu was speechless: "Didn't you agree to practice hard?"

"This is called a combination of work and rest." Shiori kept stuffing snacks into her mouth like Jerry at the dining table. She couldn't eat so much at home because she was controlled by her mother and aunt.

"My sister and I have worked hard this morning, Tono Nissan, can we rest for a few minutes before practicing?"

Kaori hugged Higashino Yu's arm and shook it, opened her crystal eyes, and asked in a soft voice.

"I can't decide on this." Dong Ye Yu shrugged.

Jinguji Hiiragi seemed to have some free time at this time. He raised his head slightly, and his cold eyes fell on the two girls. His tone was calm and unquestionable: "Before 2 pm, write down 100 Chinese characters from memory."

Duo, Duo Shao? Shizhi's eyes widened when she heard this, and her puffy little mouth opened slightly, revealing the cookie crumbs that she hadn't swallowed yet.

One hundred! Kaori leaned weakly on Higashino Yu's arm.

Yu Zi, who was sitting sideways on the left side of Dongye Yu, gently raised her eyes at the two sisters who were leaning on Dongye Yu as if their bones were pulled out, pursed her lips slightly, and practiced Chinese characters with heavier strokes.

pat!

A branch was blown onto the balcony by the wind. Miss Moon Witch, who was copying spells in the Moon Witch Records, put down her pen tiredly, stretched her body, and her eyes fell on the branch on the balcony. She sighed softly: "The fate of the Kingdom of Night is like this dead branch."

Upon hearing this, Dong Yeyu subconsciously looked out the window.

It was clearly an early summer morning, but the temperature was only a few degrees, and the gloomy sky was covered with dark clouds, seeming to be depressing and about to collapse.

The wind was blowing hard, and the cherry tree in the yard was swaying exaggeratedly, making people worry that it would break in the middle at any second. The sporadic raindrops swept by the wind wiped out slanting streaks on the floor-to-ceiling window glass.

However, through the glass, both the thunder and the whistling wind seemed muffled. The lighting in the room tended to be warm. Staying in the warm kotatsu, surrounded by sweet-smelling girls, I felt a warm sense of security.

The news said that the weather was caused by some kind of low pressure, but Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami revealed that it seemed to be related to a monster.

Higashino Yu wanted to ask if there was any money to be made, but the reply she got was that she didn't know the specific situation either, and the official had not issued any announcements such as commissioning or recruiting exorcists.

Come to think of it, the ones who can influence the weather of half of the island country are either gods or giant monsters, and it is not something that ordinary people can interfere with.

Therefore, Dong Ye Yu regarded this as a normal change in weather. After all, there were tall people to hold up the sky if it collapsed.

"But as long as Your Highness is here, everything will be fine."

Higashino Yu never misses any opportunity to praise the Moon Witch, which may mean that although Fukuzawa Yukichi is not short of money now, this kind of mentality of being prepared for danger in times of peace is particularly important when he is unemployed.

"The premise is that Your Excellency the Knight firmly follows the light of the Mirror Moon."

Asuhi saw Sanae's approving look and continued to take notes at his desk.

Kaori Shiori lowered her head and tried to hold back her laughter. This was not the first time they had heard such a strange conversation, but every time they saw them talking nonsense seriously, they couldn't help but laugh.

Only Miko had an unknown sadness in her heart, and she secretly vowed to make a million dollars and save Tono Nissan from this chuunibyou woman.

"The news said there will be a storm today." Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami frowned slightly as he looked at his phone, considering that maybe he should go back early in the afternoon.

"It's raining so hard, can we not go home today?" Kaori Shiori perked up.

"no!"

Miko and Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami said at the same time. After these words came out, the atmosphere in the room was silent for a few seconds. Kaori Shiori's eyes fell on Miko and blinked: "Miko, can't we play together tonight?"

Even Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami was a little surprised. In her impression, this taciturn and often distracted girl had a gentle temperament and even her words had a hint of ethereal charm. This was the first time she saw her get angry.

Miko realized that her reaction was a bit intense, her expression regained its composure, and she said softly, "There aren't enough rooms in Tono Nissan's house."

Shiori counted on her fingers: "It's enough, and Mingri's sister's house is right next door--"

"Then why don't you live at Miss Asumi's house?"

"You'll get wet when you walk over there." Kaori said in a soft and sweet voice.

"But the Jinguji family is a big family, and Kaori Shiori is already a big girl. Living in Tono Nissan's house is not good for either you or Tono Nissan. Tono Nissan is a very responsible person. If Kaori Shiori's reputation is damaged because of him, he will be very sad."

Miko explained seriously, looking sincere.

Shiori was somewhat touched: "You are so thoughtful, Miko."

Stupid sister, she is just afraid that we will take away Dongye Nissan. Kaori curled her lips, looked carefully at Miko who was writing down the words seriously, and snorted in her heart, Miko is a stingy person.

After getting permission, Asumi Sanae kept copying the spells of the Jinguji and Iori families into the Moon Witch Observatory like a squirrel, without even taking her eyes off the Observatory.

"The Moon Witch's Palace will not reject those who follow the moonlight. The Rose Hall can provide you with a safe haven from the storm." She said softly.

Higashino Castle should be pure and flawless, existing only to wait for the light of enlightenment from the mirror moon. "Then are we going to live in Sister Asumi's house?" Shiori looked at her cousin.

Well, it seems that Asumi's sister's house is very close to Higashino Nissan's house.

Kaori lay on the floor, with her butt sticking out, glancing at the balcony of the mansion opposite, and began to think.

If it is really a storm, it will be difficult to go home. Jinguji Hiiragi pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: "If the rain is really heavy, we can stay at Sanae's house."

Huh? Are you already thinking about where to live?
Higashino Yu was a little puzzled about the discussion point of the few people. Shouldn't they be considering what to eat for lunch at this time? There was no vegetables at home, not even instant noodles. There were some discounted bento boxes in the refrigerator, but it was obviously a bit shabby to use these things to entertain Kaori and the others.

But in today's weather, it is obviously unrealistic to go out to buy vegetables, as the vegetable markets should all be closed.

Speaking of which, the weather these past two days has been strange. It is clearly mid-to-late June, but the temperature suddenly dropped to several degrees, almost like winter.

This is also the reason why a few people sit around a kotatsu in the summer.

Of course, part of the reason was that electricity bills in Tokyo were terribly expensive, and Higashino Yu was reluctant to turn on the air conditioner. In addition, there were many people at home and there was no suitable table, so he took out the kotatsu that he had bought at a discount in the electrical appliance market not long ago and used it.

"What do you want to eat for lunch?" Dong Ye Yu asked.

"Mousse cake!" Shiori immediately raised her hand and loudly expressed her request.

Kaori was furious. She had never expected her sister to be a heretic who ate dessert for dinner. She immediately retorted, "No, eat ramen!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Dong Ye Yu tried to persuade them with a headache.

"The court chefs in the Rose Hall will prepare delicious meals and send them over. You can tell me what you want to eat and I will ask them to make it." Asumi Sanae's voice was like an angel descending from the sky.

Great, no need to eat discounted bento! Dongye Yu said with a little reserve: "It's really too much trouble for those chefs. Can you make kabayaki eel?"

After everyone in the room had ordered their meals, it became quiet again, with only the whistling wind outside and the occasional rumble of thunder. This time even Kaori Shiori began to really study.

Higashino Yu sat beside the kotatsu and began to look through the information about alchemy that he had downloaded and printed from the Internet in Shenzhou.

However, the things that are available on the Internet are either incomplete or simply fabricated. After searching for a long time and printing them out, I found that there was not a single useful piece of information.

This situation of having no way in made Dongye Yu feel helpless. He put down the useless information in his hand and looked at Yu Zi.

At this moment, she was kneeling on her right side and flipping through the Shenzhou Dictionary she had bought to learn more Chinese characters. As for the Pure and Tranquil Sutra, she had already memorized it by heart and could use it to skillfully enter the state of meditation and forgetfulness.

But due to her physical condition - the meridians in the disabled half of her body had problems, and not only could she not retain the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but even the Qi that came from refining her own essence would slowly dissipate.

With all this going on, her own energy was simply not enough to support the foundation-building process.

Not only was her progress on the path of refining essence into qi slow, but she herself began to become increasingly haggard because her practice was unable to benefit herself.

Compared to Miss Moon Witch who only has more than two months left to complete the initial foundation building, Yuko's foundation building seems to be a long way off, so she has been in a low mood these days.

Dong Ye Yu looked quite distressed and was trying to find a way to learn alchemy, even if it was just the entry level. He would buy enough spiritual materials from the Monster Market, and add a pestle to it, so that at least he could ensure that Yu Zi's health would not get worse the more he practiced.

However, even the most basic knowledge of alchemy is probably monopolized by the practitioners in Shenzhou.

Dong Ye Yu pondered for a moment, maybe Yuan Jun could get it?
As the former Princess of the Dragon King and now the Water God of Hishizawa, wouldn't it be easy for her to get some alchemy recipes?
Why not take advantage of the short break after the cultural festival to go to Taoxiang?

A week passed quickly, and in just two weeks, Dong Ye Yu basically mastered all the techniques of Tianlan Ittoryu, leaving only the Wuxiang Sword and the Dream Sword that had not been used.

According to Arima Normal University, the problem is that the foundation is not solid enough.

The Wuxiang Sword looks very majestic, but its original meaning is to enter a state similar to sitting and forgetting during battle, eliminating all distractions, fighting instinctively, and exerting unimaginable strength and reaction.

As for the Dream Sword, it involves the understanding and comprehension of Tao. It is an extraordinary swordsmanship that exists in theory, and even Arima Tadayoshi himself does not know it.

After passing on the Sky Blue Sword Tradition to Higashino Yu, perhaps because his obsession was constantly being fulfilled or because his soul was indeed exhausted and could no longer hold on, Arima Tadayoshi fell into a deep sleep more and more often, and the intervals between each sleep became shorter and shorter.

He often sat alone in the Japanese-style room, muttering to himself, as if he still couldn't remember what the important thing was.

Higashino Yu tried to transfer his magical powers to maintain his status as a swordsmanship master, but with little success.

Before Higashino Yu could think of a way to help Arima Tadayoshi, the Tachibana Cultural Festival officially began after several days of preparation.

At 8 o'clock on Saturday morning, the Tachibana Cultural Festival was officially held in the auditorium under the organization of the Student Union, opening the gate of the Tachibana campus and unveiling a corner of this legendary high school to the outside world.

Class B of Grade 1 also opened the door of the classroom, revealing a coffee shop that had been prepared in advance and a group of high school boys dressed as butlers to attract customers. The tables and chairs were all special wooden-style tables and chairs rented from outside and arranged in a staggered manner. The lighting also replaced the bright cold light in the classroom with atmospheric chandeliers.

The sunlight outside the window is completely blocked by heavy curtains, and the indoor lighting is all provided by mood lights. Even some sound insulation is done, making guests entering the cafe feel as if they have really come to a cafe.

The sign is written in cursive English, meaning time, with a stick figure drawing of the cafe logo next to it.

Yuki Wada, dressed as a coffee shop clerk in a brown apron, glanced around and said that after two weeks of simulation training, the students in Class B of Grade 1 have basically acquired the skills of coffee shop clerks and waiters and can go to work at any time.

She didn't say anything else, just bowed deeply and said, "Let's get ready to start business now. The revenue from the past two days is related to our future class expenses, so please help me!"

"it is good!"

A group of boys dressed as butlers responded passionately. After wearing the butler uniforms for two weeks, it seemed that most of them had completed the transformation from social phobia to social heroes.

"Dongye, have you thought of how to help our ancestor Zhongkang fulfill his wish?"

Arima Norimune was a little dazed. Arima Tadayuki's poor condition in the past two days made him very worried that one day when he returned home, he would suddenly not see this ancestor who called himself the Sword Saint.

“The key is to make Shifan remember what he has forgotten.”

"What if our ancestor Zhongkang hasn't remembered yet..."

Dong Yeyu comforted him, "Don't worry, Shifan's soul is very tough and is protected by the spirit sword. It is not as fragile as you think."

At this time, a fashionable girl was peeking in there, her eyes scanning the classroom decorated as a cafe, finally stopping on Higashino Yu, with obvious surprise in her eyes.
