I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 235 A Gathering of Heroes
"Hello? Is this the male butler cafe of Class 1B of Senior High School?" the girl asked in a crisp voice.

When Wada Yuki saw a guest coming, he immediately winked at the two boys in the class who were assigned to be the receptionists. It turned out that the two boys were cowardly and dared not step forward.

Wada Yuki frowned, then stepped forward decisively, bowed with a smile and said, "Yes, welcome, guest! Please take a seat!"

The girl was a little nervous and entered the cafe carefully. However, she did not follow Wada Yuki's instructions to sit down for the time being. Instead, she pointed to the window seat in the back row and said, "Can the male butler over there introduce me to someone?"

Wada Yuki followed her gaze and saw that it was probably the direction of Higashino Yu, so he confirmed softly, "The tallest one?"

She seemed to be afraid of making a mistake, and quickly corrected him, saying, "The most handsome one! His hair is a little long, and he doesn't wear glasses."

"Please wait a moment." Wada Yuki nodded with a smile and walked quickly towards Higashino Yu, worried in his heart, would Higashino-kun be afraid of fighting like those boys?
"Higashino-kun"

What Wada Yuki didn't expect was that Higashino Yu was not surprised by this, nor did he feel embarrassed or have any other emotions. He just asked calmly: "Does the girl want me to be her waiter?"

If Higashino-kun also fails, it will be the end. Wada Yuki is now as cautious as the girl and asks, "Is it okay?"

Dong Yeyu smiled, and the dim ambient light added a touch of fantasy to his smile. The light and shadow cast a faint shadow, which made him look more mysterious. The butler uniform that fit him like a tailor-made suit showed his perfect figure.
All of this combined made Wada Yuki, who was standing close to Higashino Yu and was a little nervous and stiff, relax.

"Why not? We originally ran a male butler cafe. As someone who has worked part-time in the service industry, I have already been aware of this. And since I have agreed to your request, Mr. Wada, I will definitely do it!" Higashino Yu gave a reassuring answer in a soft voice.

Thank you, Higashino-kun.

Yuki Wada raised his head slightly, his eyes reflecting the smiling perfect young man, and his expression became stunned.

She is a person with a strong desire for control and likes to do things herself, even with the people she cares about.

Therefore, she kept reminding herself in her heart not to fall in love with Dongye-kun, because he did not belong to her and she had no control over him.

But at this moment, the young man's magnetic and energetic voice echoed in her ears, and in front of her was that dazzling smile. She didn't know if it was because of the angle of the ambient light, or because the windows of the classroom were closed and the air was not circulating, she felt dazed.

When he came to his senses, he was already smiling and guiding the guest to sit down, and started chatting with him.

Like a good friend who has not seen each other for many years, or a childhood sweetheart who has not been in touch for decades but only spent a short period of time together, he actively but not too closely breaks into the girl's world.

Somehow, when Wada Yuki saw this scene, he felt a little sad.

"Excuse me?"

Another guest came to the door with his head poked, and the sound woke Wada Yuki from his chaotic emotions.

What on earth are you thinking about, Wada Yuki! She scolded herself in her heart and slapped her face to sober up.

It seemed that Higashino Yu had set an example, and both the other boys in the class and the two boys who had been booked as greeters had mustered up their courage and motivation.

However, the two of them probably had little experience. Even after two weeks of simulated training, they were still a little flustered and had stiff expressions.

Yuki Wada came forward with a smile and helped them out.

"Hello, may I help you?"

After the cultural festival began, the campus of Tachibana High School was decorated with lights and the school gates that were usually closed were opened to the public, inviting everyone to participate in this cultural festival of Tachibana High School.

Even the abnormal temperature did not dampen people's enthusiasm.

People who had already learned about the cultural festival through various channels flocked to the event, including parents, students from other schools, tourists, idle people in Tokyo, and other unrelated non-school people.

When there are too many people, it is easy to breed safety hazards. In the early years, there were even stampedes and serious injuries.

The school's many years of experience in hosting events have enabled it to prepare for this and it dispatched enough staff and security guards at the gate to maintain order. Taking into account the recent serious security issues in Tokyo, the school even applied to the Metropolitan Police Department for police support.

Several fully armed anti-explosion police officers holding acrylic shields patrolled back and forth at the gate, ready to suppress the situation at any time. The warning lights of the armored vehicles kept flashing, which was awe-inspiring.

Under the guidance of the school's order maintenance personnel, people lined up obediently to wait to enter the famous "Todai High School".

Among the people queuing to enter the campus, one group of people stood out.

There were six people in total, an elderly couple with kind faces wearing Monzukuri haori and kimonos, and an old lady in her sixties wearing an elegant and low-key kimono, with gray hair combed in a meticulous bun.

She has beautiful facial features, and even though her face has the inevitable wrinkles that indicate aging, one can still vaguely glimpse what a beauty she was before the years of wear and tear.

The old lady had an elegant and calm demeanor and a unique temperament that made people dare not underestimate her or approach her rashly. The people standing around her subconsciously held their breath and paid attention to their words and actions at all times.

The remaining three are girls with different styles but all equally cute.

Of course, they are the sisters Miko and Kaori Shiori.

After learning that Higashino Yu's class was going to hold a male butler cafe, Miko complained many times in her heart about the class monitor of Higashino Yu's class named Wada Yuki.

I've been tossing and turning and unable to sleep these days, and this matter is always on my mind, so I wanted to visit the Tachibana Cultural Festival - mainly to visit Higashino Yu's class.

Of course, I don’t want to see Higashino Yu as a male butler.

Tachibana Highland is quite far away from the Inari Shrine, and my grandparents were worried about leaving the shrine, so they followed us.

Kaori Shiori's parents were also unable to leave, as they were both lying in bed at home recuperating and unable to accompany her, so they sent their grandmother-in-law, a tutor at home, to look after her.

"Shiori, lift me up higher so I can't see."

Kaori climbed onto Shiori's back nimbly and easily, resting her hands on her chest and stretching her head to look inside, but there were too many people there, and both of them were short, so they could not see anything except people's backs.

“Did you see it?” Shiori kept asking while trying to maintain her balance.

"see it?"

Kaori looked around for a long time but didn't see anything. She complained in frustration, "I didn't see anything. Shiori, what's wrong with you? You eat so much, but you still don't grow taller."

"Asshole, how rude!" Shiori was stunned for a second, then she slapped Kaori's leg angrily: "I am your elder sister, and it's obviously you who is short!"

Kaori clamped her legs around her waist and pulled her hair on her back, causing Shiori to grimace in pain.

"You're only a few seconds older than me, so why are you so arrogant? This is all your fault!"

Seeing that the two were about to fight, the old woman reminded them in time: "Ms. Kaori, Miss Shiori, please be careful about your behavior." Kaori pouted and jumped down. The sisters looked at each other, snorted coldly, and looked away.

Miko stood next to her grandmother and did not notice the quarrel between the two. Instead, she quietly looked at the people around her.

Grandma Iori took her hand and looked at the girl with some concern.

But Miko was not afraid at all. Instead, she had great interest in observing everyone.

After spending quite some time with Higashino Yu, she had some support in her heart and could now handle such situations with ease.

Although she had never seen so many people in one place, she used to hide in the Iori courtyard to play when the Inari Shrine held festivals in previous years.

They didn't have to wait too long as people kept pouring in, and the six people entered the campus after about ten minutes.

Behind the gate is an avenue leading to the school’s central garden. On both sides of the campus avenue are small stalls with various promotional banners.

This is a display booth used to showcase the plans of each class. In order to take care of the freshmen in the first year of high school, the display booths for the first year of high school are closer to the school gate, while those for the senior years are placed deeper.

The display booth is usually composed of two desks as the structural basis, with various external promotional slogans or pictures, and students from the class giving explanations to attract customers for the class.

"Class 1B, High School, here!"

Kaori and Shiori walked lightly among the tourists and soon found the display booth of Class 1-B. Miko, who was visiting the booth, was also attracted there. The grandparents who followed behind her also walked over slowly, chatting with the old lady.

There were a lot of people surrounding the display booth in three circles inside and outside, basically girls from other schools, female tourists and some women dressed fashionably. Compared with the scattered tourists at other display booths, it looked very lively.

Iori Tadamichi, who was 1.8 meters tall and stood out from the crowd, took a look and his eyes began to twitch slightly, and he fell silent at that moment.

Girls like Yuki Wada were very cunning and covered the display booth with photos of Higashino Yu. And it didn't look like they were taken secretly. The subject of the photos was quite cooperative, and the photographer had good skills, so he took a lot of perfect photos with great texture.

No wonder she attracts so many women. Ayu is good in everything except
Iori Tadamichi rubbed his forehead, glanced at his granddaughter who had a calm expression and was looking around at other people. He sighed in his heart, thinking that Miko must be sad now.

"What's wrong? Let me see." Kaori and Shiori struggled to squeeze in, but they were unable to squeeze past a few girls from other schools who were gathered together and taking pictures with their cell phones.

Kaori was furious and immediately made hand seals, wanting to teach these women in front of her a lesson.

But before she could make a move, she was stopped by Grandma Qianshi. She didn't say anything, but just put her hand on Kaori's shoulder, smiled and shook her head.

"Ouch! Who stepped on me!"

"Who lifted my skirt? There's a pervert!"

The girls from other schools screamed and looked around blankly, somewhat frightened, and their unbreakable formation immediately loosened.

"Please make way!"

At this time, Shiori walked up and said in a cold voice, imitating the expression of Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami.

The four girls from other schools looked up and saw a cute girl wearing a white short-sleeved shirt inside and blue denim overalls outside, with her shiny black hair combed into a right bun.

Although she was only about 1.5 meters tall, she had a cool temperament and her words and actions showed signs of etiquette training. She had a noble air, like a lady from a wealthy family.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he finally gave way reluctantly.

Even though Kaori Shiori is usually naughty, she is a noble lady from a big family after all, and she can still be intimidating when she acts in a serious manner.

How did she get in? Kaori looked closely and saw Shiori looking back at her sister with a smirk.

I want to go in too.

She quickly squeezed in before the gap closed.

Miko withdrew her gaze as if it was a coincidence and followed silently behind.

Some tourists who squeezed in from behind saw that the girl had some difficulty walking, and they all showed sympathy and subconsciously made way for her, so she entered the inner circle smoothly.

Surrounded by a group of women, two students, a boy and a girl, were sitting in the middle of a display booth, answering tourists' questions with dry mouths.

"Yes, this is a classmate of ours. He is playing the role of butler in the classroom right now, waiting for you to come."

"What's the exact location? This is the detailed school map that our class printed out. You can take a look. The red dot on it is the location of Class B, Grade 1."

"You want photos? I'm so sorry, these photos are for display, but if you come to our class, you can find the person in charge to register and receive a commemorative postcard. When the cultural festival is over, you can use the postcard as a voucher and come here again. We will give you a photo of Higashino Yu. First come, first served!"

"Please give me a detailed map." Shiori wanted to have one trick to conquer everyone, so she imitated her cousin and said this.

However, because the voice was too soft, the person in charge of the display booth did not hear it. Shiori frowned and repeated it again, but still got no response.

Kaori rolled her eyes at her and stretched out her hand, "Here you go!"

She grabbed a detailed map from the display stand and tucked it under her armpit, then took her sister's hand and squeezed out. After taking two steps, she saw that Miko was still inside. Thinking that Higashino Nissan attached great importance to Miko, she did not hesitate and stretched out her left hand to hold her hand as well.

Kaori. Miko blinked, her eyes fell on her, she remained silent and said nothing, letting her lead her away.

Kaori led the other two and rushed forward, squeezing out of the crowd with difficulty. The three of them gathered together to look at the map carefully, only to see that the map included the entire campus and even had a three-dimensional perspective.

However, there were no markings for other classes. There was only a thick red line extending from the school gate all the way to the first-year teaching building, stopping at the position of the words "Class 1-B".

"Let's go to the Dongye Nissan class."

So the group headed straight for their destination without stopping.

In the garden outside the first-year high school teaching building, an old man with a cane was strolling leisurely accompanied by a group of school leaders in suits and ties. He seemed to inadvertently glance at the towering teaching building on the side, looked up for two seconds, and looked at the mysterious blonde girl who was supporting him.

"Sanae, that Tono-kun seems to be in Class B of Grade 1, right?"

The old man smiled and said, "The project your father was working on back then was to build a home-made video game experience center. Higashino-kun's talent far exceeds his. I'm really curious about what amazing project such a talent would come up with at the cultural festival."
