I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 237 I mean don't throw the baby out with the bathwater
After saying that, Dong Yeyu bowed to the school leaders he knew. He was able to go to school for free and get a scholarship. Although it was ultimately because of his good grades, it was these school leaders who approved it, so he should at least accept some of the favor.

Principal Ando Eiji had some impression of this senior who was ranked sixth in the grade, but it was not because of his academic performance.

There are students who study well every year. As the principal of Tachibana, it is not necessary for me to know every outstanding student.

The reason why I had this impression was that not long ago, a bored student posted a vote on the Tachibana School forum about the most handsome boy in Tachibana, and Higashino Yu won the first place with an undisputed vote, crushing the second place.

After seeing the picture in the post, Eiji Ando voted for Higashino Yu and asked the forum administrator to remove the post.

"What's going on, Higashino-san?" Ando Eiji was a little confused. Wasn't it said that Higashino-san was usually rude and didn't allow strangers to approach him?
What a great help, Principal! I was just worried about what to say. Dong Yeyu gave him a grateful look.

As fellow Tachibana students, we naturally have to help each other. Just go for it, young man. We have seniors to back you up.

Ando Eiji nodded slightly and looked at Higashino Yu in front of him, as if he saw himself back then.

He was also once a student of Tachibana High School, and his background was even similar to that of Higashino Yu. Both came from poor rural areas and were like phoenixes that flew out of a hen's nest - the only difference was that Ando Eiji was already a phoenix, while Higashino Yu was still waiting for the opportunity to transform through the fire.

也都喜欢上了有钱人家的小姐，可惜当时门户之见颇为严重，她家里不同意，后来她想和自己私奔，结果事败，自己被那家人找人揍了一顿，又拖去警察局关了十多天。

If the principal at that time had not rescued me, I would probably have been buried in the dust for the rest of my life.

Now seeing that the situation of this younger generation is almost exactly the same as my own back then, I have an urge to hold an umbrella for my past self.

"The class voted for the project, and we, as the opposing party, lost by a hair's breadth of votes. The class monitor repeatedly tried to persuade us to surrender in the name of the class funds, so we had no choice but to accept the bitter fruit of defeat and put on this outfit to serve as a waiter in the project."

Dong Ye Yu smiled helplessly. He did not act awkward in front of the principal like other students. Instead, he seemed like he was chatting with a friend.

Hearing Higashino Yu's casual habitual expressions, Asumigoro seemed to be lost in thought. No wonder he could get along well with Sanae. It turned out that they were the same kind of people?

This kid is smart, he caters to people's needs, he has the style of me in my old days.
Ando Eiji also noticed this, glanced at the girl next to Asumigorō, pursed his lips, looked quite serious, and nodded with a tense face: "Keeping one's word is what a man does. Higashino-san, you did a great job and were very responsible. Five points will be added to Class B of Grade One."

Where did you come from, Dumbledore? Dong Yeyu was stunned, or did our Tachibana High School have such a setting similar to the conduct score?

To outsiders, the duet conversation between the old and the young seemed flawless, but in Asumi Goro's eyes it seemed a little clumsy.

However, no matter what he had just seen or the matter between Higashino Yu and Sanae, Asumigoro Goro did not rush to question, but responded with a smile.

"Nice to meet you, Higashino-kun. I am Sanae's grandfather, Goro. People who are familiar with me like to call me Mr. Goro, but you can also call me that. Also, since you and Sanae are friends, I am also your elder. But calling you Higashino-kun is a bit strange, so how about calling you Ayu?"

"That's as it should be, Mr. Goro."

Mingji Goro smiled and nodded, glanced at the people following behind him, and bowed slightly: "I want to have a brief chat with Dongye-san, so please wait here."

"Thank you for your courtesy." A group of school leaders led by Eiji Ando bowed 90 degrees in return.

Mingri saw Sanae frowning slightly, and was worried that her grandfather would say something nonsense, so she wanted to follow him, but she saw the old man turned back and glanced at her: "Sanae, you too, wait here for a while, I want to talk to Ayu alone, this is not a bad thing."

After saying this, Asumi Goro walked to the less crowded side of the corridor with an ordinary wooden crutch.

Kaori and Shiori watched for a while and found that something seemed amiss. It was like the scene in a TV drama where the rich girl's family disapproved of the poor boy.

Shiori whispered to her sister, "Should we ask Granny Qianshi to help Tono Nissan?"

"Sister, are you stupid?"

Kaori looked at Shiori speechlessly and whispered, "Isn't it a good thing that the Asumimi family doesn't agree with Higashino Nissan? Hiiragi Kagami-sister is useless in love, she's a piece of wood! How can she possibly compete with the chuunibyou sister?"

"The only two possible reasons why Tono Ni-san came to our Jinguji family is that the adults of the Asumimi family look down on Tono Ni-san's background."

"Only two? Is there another possibility?" Shiori was surprised.

Kaori touched her left bun and raised her head proudly: "Of course, since Sister Hiiragi Kagami can't do it, then we two will do it. No man can resist the temptation of twin beauties. What's more, we and Higashino Nissan are friends in need and have an emotional foundation. Our chances of winning are even better."

She pulled her sister to the corner and muttered to herself.

"I've thought about it a long time ago. When the time comes, you and I will take turns to attack. Dongye Nissan will definitely become weak in the waist and knees and bow down to us and join the Jinguji family. From now on, no one will dare to make us get up early in the cold winter and go to the cold dojo to be blown by the wind."

When Kaori said this, she smiled, her eyes curved like crescent moons, the corners of her mouth raised, and she inexplicably had the charm of a cunning fox.

"Then Sister Hiiragi Jing will be the concubine and we will be the legal wife. We will ask her to wash clothes and clean the floor of the dojo every day, and we will also ask her to serve us!"

"Yes, yes, and let her practice swordplay in the courtyard during the hottest days of summer, and in the dojo during the coldest nights of winter!"

The more Shiori listened, the brighter her eyes became, and she agreed repeatedly. The more they talked, the more they felt that it was feasible. They looked at each other and appreciated each other. For a moment, they felt like Sleeping Dragon meeting Gongjin. Then, almost at the same time, they looked at Higashino Yu, as if they had seen heaven.

Miko noticed that Kaori was pulling Shiori away and muttering something, but she was not interested. She was just a little worried that the grandfather of Asumi Sanae would make things difficult for Higashino Yu. At the same time, she couldn't help but have some thoughts of taking her anger out on Asumi Sanae.

Higashino Yu didn't notice the two little girls' wild thoughts. He exchanged glances with Asumi Sanae for a moment, gave a hearty smile to Miko who looked worried, and followed with a calm expression.

At this time, Dongye Yu had already reacted. There was nothing going on between me and Miss Moon Witch. What was I afraid of?
As Higashino Yu got closer, he heard Asumi Goro ask casually, "As far as I know, Yu and Sanae have a good relationship?"

"I must thank you for tolerating my Sanae's willfulness and fantasies. Don't look at her like this, but in fact, she has never had true friendship since she was a child. This kind of feeling is very rare for people like us. Thanks to you, Sanae has been very happy during this period."

"You're too kind. As a friend, Miss Asumi is very easy to get along with. Most of the time, it was Miss Asumi who took care of me and supported me. I just used some useless abilities in exchange for the rewards I urgently needed."

Higashino Yu answered politely that this was not a bad thing. Miss Moon Witch had merits in almost every aspect except that she was a little bit immature.

Dong Yeyu said this while sizing up the old man in front of him. He looked to be in his sixties, very short, less than 1.7 meters tall, with his back always straight.

However, perhaps due to overwork and weakened blood circulation, his hair had already turned completely silver, so that he did not even look as healthy as Iori Tadamichi, who was nearly seventy years old.

His facial features were ordinary, and because of his overly sharp and bright eyes, he couldn't even be considered kind. However, he always seemed to have the habit of drooping his eyelids, revealing only half of his eyes, thus retracting the sharpness of his all-seeing hawk-like eyes.

So overall, the momentum is not too sharp and looks quite peaceful.

At first glance, he gives people the impression of an honest person, like an old farmer from somewhere who has come to the city. But if you look at him a few more times, you will feel that he looks like a cabinet member you have seen on TV. Every time you observe him, you will come to a different conclusion. It is impossible to figure out this person. He must be a powerful character.

"That's not a useless ability. We can live a peaceful and stable life and enjoy the sunshine thanks to people like Ayu."

Asumi Goro sighed, and seeing that Higashino Yu looked thoughtful, he explained: "I also have private relationships with some demon exorcists. The former head of the Jinguji family is my good friend."

"You're too kind. I'm just a beginner in the demon exorcist business. I'm a newbie in this field."

Higashino Yu declined humbly. He didn't feel surprised at all. After knowing that Asumi Sanae and Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami were childhood friends, he guessed that the parents of both parties had a close relationship. Now he just got confirmation from the parties involved.

"Ayu, you don't have to be modest. I barely hold a high position, and I get a lot of information actively or passively every day. I have heard a little about some of your deeds. You are an outstanding young man."

Asumi Goro was not stingy with his praise, nor did he hide his admiration for Higashino Yu.

"Sanae likes to pursue extraordinary things. It is related to some bad things in the past. It can be regarded as her obsession. In fact, her parents and I don't want her to come into contact with anything beyond common sense, such as demons and demon hunters. Please forgive my words, but as Sanae's relatives, it is reasonable not to want her to come into contact with demon hunters who are often accompanied by death."

Dong Yeyu nodded to show his understanding.

"We hope that she can grow up safely, live a happy life, and then pass away peacefully."

"But obviously, such an idea is already unrealistic. Sanae has already started training, right?"

Asumi saw Goro looking at Higashino Yu, but there was no blame or questioning in his expression, just a simple confirmation.

"I'm sorry, I taught her the method of cultivation without her permission."

Dong Yeyu inexplicably felt like he was trying to lure someone into becoming a monk, and then other people's parents came to him to argue with him, and he was sweating profusely.

Asumi Goro shook his head: "You misunderstood. I am not here to call for punishment. Sanae's parents and I cannot keep her at home. Since we cannot stop her from looking for those monsters, I am at least happy to see her gain some effective means of self-defense."

"If possible, I would even like to ask Ayu to protect her on my behalf. Can you agree to that?"

Dong Yeyu thought for a few seconds and said, "My cultivation is limited. I can only ensure that I can protect Miss Mingjian when I am with her."

"That's enough." Mingji Goro said this with some curiosity: "It is said that the orphanage where Ayu was born is not well run. Don't you want to take this opportunity to let me help them?"

"If it is exchanged with conditions, it is not mutual assistance between friends, but business."

Dongye Yu looked serious. Until now, he had indeed regarded Miss Moon Witch as a very important friend.

Asumi Michigoro stared at Higashino Yu for a moment.

"only friends?"

He chuckled, and without waiting for Dong Yeyu to explain, he asked, "Ayu, what are your plans for the future?"

"The future?"

Dong Yeyu pondered for a few seconds: "Probably I will win some awards in high school that will be helpful for further studies, then make more money and enter the University of Tokyo. I haven't thought about what to do after that, but I can be sure that I will not give up my identity as a demon slayer, nor will I stop practicing."

"Maybe I'll open a demon-exorcism agency or something like that?"

Actually, Higashino Yu wanted to own a shrine of his own, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was a bit too ambitious.

"If this is for money, this job is a bit too dangerous. Sanae can't take risks with you forever." Asumi Goro said meaningfully.

"I understand. I will explain it to Sanae. Don't worry, she won't be delayed by me."

Dong Ye Yu nodded. He now had a vague awareness of being an immortal species, and he also understood why the Chinese myths and legends always said that immortals and mortals could not get together, and humans and demons could not fall in love with each other.

The more you like someone, the more painful it will be when you part. It is better to end it early.

Asumigoro was obviously a little surprised by Higashino Yu's overly easy words. He frowned, and the wrinkles on his forehead formed a "川" character. His eyes, which were as calm as a mirror lake, began to waver, and he was even a little annoyed: "You don't like Sanae?"

When Dong Yeyu heard this, he thought seriously, examined his heart, and then shook his head: "That's not the case. Miss Asumi is a very attractive woman and she gets along well with me."

"So what's the point of you saying this?"

"You may not know that if a demon slayer is successful in his training, he may live a long time."

Dong Yeyu's expression was tangled when he said this. "There is an ancient poem in Shenzhou, 'There is a loquat tree in the yard, which was planted by my wife when she died. Now it is tall and majestic like a canopy.' Just looking at this poem, I seem to be able to understand that feeling, so--"

"So in order to avoid the end, you simply avoided the beginning of everything?"

Mingri Jianwulang heard this and sneered, shaking his head and said, "You are so young and confused after learning poetry? Others' wives died, and you also died? You are complaining without any reason."
