I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 238: The Wise Fox Doesn’t Fall in Love
Asumi saw Goro and Higashino Yu looking at each other, and he could understand something from Higashino Yu's words.

This young man looks calm and steady. Judging from the report written by Xia Zi, he is quite lively and optimistic when interacting with others. He is a person who can infect the emotions of those around him.

But after talking for a few minutes, Asumi Goro felt that he was not as optimistic as he seemed, and seemed to be a person who was afraid of loneliness.

The old man pondered for a moment and said, "Beautiful flowers will eventually wither, but it would be a pity if we don't plant them because we are sad about the withering moment. I used to have the same idea as you, but halfway through my life, I suddenly changed my mind overnight."

“Compared to never existing, I now believe that a moment of beauty is eternal. Even if withering is inevitable, at least someone has appreciated its beauty, and someone will remember that moment.”

Precisely because the fleeting beauty is so beautiful, the emptiness and loneliness that follows is even more torturous.

Dong Ye Yu thought about it in his mind, but did not refute it. He just nodded to show that he accepted the lesson. These words really touched him.

But as a practitioner, how can one be swayed by just a few words when making a decision?

What's more, such things are not just whining for the sake of making up new words to express sorrow, but an almost foreseeable future.

However, since Miss Moon Witch embarked on the path of cultivation, if there were some opportunities, I could help her again, and perhaps the ending would be different.
Of course, no one can predict what will happen in the future, and there are many things to do. It is foreseeable that after becoming a demon hunter, one must not only slay demons, but also actively make friends with people in order to have the opportunity to repay their gratitude. It may be very busy, and there may be no time for romance.

What's more, I just have a good impression of Miss Moon Witch now.

let it go.

Thinking this way, Higashino Yu asked back with some curiosity: "But what you said just now means that you don't want Sanae to get along with me, right?"

Mingri saw Goro look at Dongye Yu and knew that what he had just said was of no use.

But I don’t care. If a person can be persuaded by just a few words, it only means that the person is weak-willed, has immature values, and is easily influenced by others’ emotional incitement and judgment.

Those who can get a place as a free student in Tachibana are generally much more intelligent than ordinary people, so it is normal for them to be stubborn and unyielding.

Talented people usually have their own ideas and are very stubborn.

"you misunderstood."

Asumi Goro smiled and said, "What I mean is that Asumi Group is in great need of demon hunters like Ayu. You can try to work for Asumi Group after graduation. I am serious about this and I am not joking."

"In fact, for a special profession like Ayu, whether or not to take the entrance exam to the University of Tokyo doesn't have much impact. Of course, if you want to develop in the Ministry of Religion and Humanities, that's another matter."

"Entering Tokyo University is just my dream for many years. It has nothing to do with my future life and work. In fact, Tokyo University is not a must. Stanford or Oxford are both fine. I just want to see what a top university is like. I will consider your kindness."

Dong Ye Yu said with a complicated expression, it was a bit funny to say that he had lived two lives and spent most of the time studying and taking exams, but he actually had the idea of ​​going to the highest point to see the whole thing, it could be considered an obsession.

Just like a fisherman always dreams of catching a fish big enough to carry around on his back.

Dong Yeyu had never considered going into politics. If he entered the secular world, he would be burdened with all kinds of responsibilities, which would greatly affect his cultivation. Throughout history, there are very few practitioners who have achieved success in the path of cultivation and have trapped themselves in this way.

Mingriji Goro was just saying it casually, and he also knew that Higashino Yu was just answering casually and didn't take it seriously, he just left a little verbal friendship here.

If he really gets together with Sanae in the future, I can bring it up then.

At this time, a cool breeze blew in from the half-open window in the corridor. The two fell silent and stood side by side by the corridor window, looking at the huge campus.

At this time, a drizzle began to fall again, but this did not seem to stop people's enthusiasm for the visit. Instead, people felt that the drizzle added a touch of poetry to Tachibana's campus.

“Just like this rain.”

Asumi Goro suddenly pointed to the garden not far away and said.

"Look at the flowers in the garden, they are beaten by the rain. If someone holds an umbrella for them, their beauty will not only continue, but also be appreciated. That's enough, isn't it? Yu, no one in this world can accompany you forever. The fragrance will not accompany you for too long, but it will remain in your memory."

"Sanae is a very lively and delicate child, but because of her emotional problems, she turned to pursue the monsters she was afraid of when she was a child. Her parents and I have made many efforts, but we are powerless. We can only let her get in touch with those dangerous things while trying our best to protect her. Now that you are here, I feel much more relieved. To be honest, I also have selfish thoughts as a parent, and even hope that you can always help Sanae."

"When she grows up and inherits the Mingri Group, she will also need a strong enough backing."

Mingriji Goro looked serious and sincere, and said in a persuasive tone: "Life is short, the process is the most important."

Life is short, but a fox's life is long.
"As Miss Asumi's friend, I can also protect her."

Dong Yeyu answered seriously but did not make any promise. Are you kidding? He is only sixteen years old. If he makes a promise in front of other people's parents, won't he be trapped for life?

A wise fox should be extremely cautious if he doesn't fall in love.

Mingri saw Wulang nod slightly, his expression relaxed, and he waved his hand with a smile.

"I'm old, and I always like to preach. I hope you don't mind, Ayu. Just listen to my complaints. I have some things to do next, so I won't be an eyesore here. The cultural festival is ultimately the home of you young people, and our generation will have to step down soon."

As he spoke, he walked back with his cane and glanced at his granddaughter who was waiting there.

She looked calm, with no waves in her eyes. She just nodded and greeted Dong Yeyu behind her, but her slightly pursed lips revealed the girl's mood at the moment.

Now that things have come to this, I don’t know whether my decision to let it go was right or wrong.

Asumi Goro was in mixed emotions. He almost understood the entire process of how his granddaughter and Higashino Yu got to know each other.

Whether it was the many reports written by Natsuko Sugida, the descriptions of the bodyguard group and the driver, or his first meeting with Higashino Yu today, they all made him certain that this young man was outstanding enough.

This is exactly the talent that the Asumi family urgently needs.

Although Mingxiao's family is not large, there are many relatives. However, they are all country folk who are short-sighted, greedy and unrighteous, and are not presentable.

Allowing them to participate in the management of the group will only make things worse, and it will go bankrupt within two years.

Therefore, from the time Goro Asumi started his business to the present, the company has been employing outsiders from top to bottom. Although it is called a family business, the only difference between it and a normal company is that it holds most of the shares of the group, and the board of directors can basically be said to have the final say.

But the people who manage people other than himself and Sanae's father are basically outsiders.

This has led to the proliferation of factions from the top management downwards. It is good that I am still in office because I have enough prestige to suppress the fickle hearts of people.

But Asumi Goro was worried that if he was gone one day, not only Asumi Sanae, but even her father might not be able to inherit his inheritance.

If Ayu helps, the power transition will be much smoother and the possible losses will be minimized. But such a great man is not easy to subdue. Whether it is the future of the Asumi family or your own happiness, you need to work hard to fight for it. Grandpa, I can only help you here.
The old man sighed in his heart and gave his granddaughter an assist.

"I have to go to a meeting with Principal Ando and the others. Sanae, just mind your own business."

As he spoke, he looked at Iori Tadamichi and his wife, nodded slightly in farewell, and then walked downstairs surrounded by a group of school leaders.

Some of the tourists passing by recognized Asumigorō Goro and gradually began to talk about this legendary figure.

Now the focus of attention on Higashino Yu is no longer limited to women, and many people are speculating about the relationship between this high school student and Asumi Goro.

"If I'm not mistaken, that's Mr. Asumi Goro, right?!"

"What did he just say to that high school boy?"

"It is said that Mr. Asami Goro is the main sponsor of Tachibana Private High School. I guess he just randomly picked a lucky student to talk to?"

"But I just passed by and it seemed like they knew each other."

Someone noticed Asumimi Sanae who was quite eye-catching in the crowd, looked at her for a moment, and hesitated: "Come to think of it, this golden-haired girl seems to be very close to Mr. Asumimi Goro?"

"Blonde hair? Could it be the young lady from Mingri Group?"

Asumi Sanae rarely appears in public, so most people only know that the Asumi Group has such a young lady, but they are not sure what she looks like.

"Case solved, this must be a play by the parents trying to persuade Huang Mao to quit!"

Some people are jealous.

"But they seemed to be chatting very relaxed just now. I think this boy was favored by the Asumi family."

“Have you watched too much TV?”

People started arguing. With so many different looks around them, Dong Yeyu felt the atmosphere was strange, so he quickly called out to everyone, "It's not good to stand outside. Please come into the cafe first. I'll go move a table over."

Higashino Yu walked towards the classroom where the sundries were stored, while Asumi Sanae and others entered the classroom that was temporarily converted into a cafe.

The classroom, which was already full of people, suddenly became crowded with seven people. Moreover, many customers had already complained because Dong Ye Yu had left the cafe for too long.

Asu saw Sanae's icy blue eyes sweeping across the girls who were standing in front of the coffee tables and deliberately pulling up their skirts to reveal their absolute territory, her gaze was cold.

Have the people of the night become ignorant and lost their sense of shame?
After what happened just now, she no longer had the heart to tease Dong Ye Yu. At this moment, she just wanted to know what her grandfather had just said to him.

So she went to Yuki Wada who was making coffee.

Yuki Wada, who was concentrating on making latte art on the surface of the coffee, trembled with fright, and the originally delicate pattern suddenly had flaws.

But she was already feeling guilty, so she wasn't angry. She smiled flatteringly and asked, "What's the matter with meeting your classmates tomorrow?"

"Wada-san, have you estimated how much money you can make from this cafe project?"

Asuhi saw Sanae looking at her levelly and spoke softly.

Why are you asking this?
Wada Yuki didn't quite understand, and after thinking for a moment, he replied, "If you take out the costs, the two-day cultural festival can probably make around 100,000 yen."

The reason she was able to earn so much was not only because the Tachibana Cultural Festival has always been a popular tourist check-in spot, but also because she proposed a one-hour limit on the stay time in advance.

Otherwise, there will be a situation where a lot of female customers order a cup of coffee and sit there for the whole day, and the revenue will be very bad.

Unless Dongye-kun is eloquent enough to trick them into drinking a lot of coffee.

"I have something to ask Higashino-san these days. I will give your class 100,000 yen in the name of the Moon Witch. How about this, we will terminate the cafe project?"

Asumi Sanae said, although it was a question, her tone left no room for doubt.

Wada Yuki wanted to refuse at that time, but when she thought about the girl in front of her, she was the girlfriend of the legendary Dong Yeyu, and it was a bit out of line for her to ask her boyfriend to be the male butler.
She fell silent.

By the time Dong Yeyu came over with several chairs in his hands and a coffee table on his head, performing a balancing act like an acrobatic artist, the people queuing outside had almost all dispersed, leaving only the customers who were already sitting in the cafe.

Dong Ye Yu observed for a moment and came to a conclusion - it must be Miss Moon Witch who took action.

Asumi Sanae sponsored Class B of Grade 1 and after serving the last table of guests, the Butler Cafe project officially came to an end, and the students cheered and went home to attend cram schools.

While others are slacking off, I am working hard, open the book!
Seeing Higashino Yukong taking action, the old couple Iori Tadamichi made the excuse that they had something to do at the shrine and went back early, but Grandma Qianshi from the Jinguji family did not leave.

Higashino Yu didn't care. He took Miko, Kaori Shiori and others to stroll around the Tachibana campus, and then went to visit Miss Moon Witch's residence in the Kingdom of Darkness - the club activity classroom.

During this time, Asumi Sanae seemed to want to ask something several times, but perhaps because there were so many people around or something, she didn't ask in the end.

Afterwards, Higashino Yu took everyone home to open the Higashino training class as usual. After safely sending Kaori and Shiori to Higashino's house, Grandma Qianshi said goodbye and left.

Therefore, for all the students in Class B of Grade 1, except for the beginning, they had little sense of participation in the two-day cultural festival.

After the cultural festival, the school held a gathering in the auditorium, where Asumi Goro gave a speech, followed by an award ceremony.

The award is given to the best and most creative project. The reward is not money, but a scroll of gold brocade with calligraphy written in running script by Asumigorō.

But all this has nothing to do with the mediocre plan of Class 1B of Senior High School.

Of course, Yuki Wada doesn't care. After all, earning money in your pocket is the most real thing.

The class began discussing summer camps and school trips.

These two events are held together in Tachibana, lasting for a week in early August.

Tachibana High School organizes a study tour and training program every summer vacation. The training camps in the previous anime seemed to be more like travel activities, but in fact they were just full-scale tutoring in a different location.

Of course, it is not all about doing exercises and exams. There will be some travel plans mixed in. If you are at the seaside, there will be swimming training, and in the mountains there will be outings and hiking, as well as some animal and plant teaching courses.
