I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 240 I can tell at a glance that you are not human
Arima Norimune silently picked up Bizen Nagashune from the mat and put it back on the knife rack, "Is there no other way, Tono?"

Higashino Yu sensed that the remaining spirit of Teacher Arima Tadayoshi was probably almost exhausted, and the only reason he was able to survive until now was his obsession. Perhaps he could hold on for a while, but not too long.

Dongye Yu frowned and thought, without answering Arima Zemune.

The Shangqing magic power that he cultivated had the property of warding off all evil, and it was like poison to a lonely soul like Arima Zhongkang, and it could not save him.

I asked Haruhara about this when I went to Inari Shrine on the weekend some time ago, and she shook her head after hearing it.

If it is a newly deceased person, it would be okay. He or she could probably stay in the divine realm of Inari God for a relatively long time. After all, Meowhime and the others have now become Inari God's little followers.

But Ma Zhongkang has been dead for hundreds of years, and his soul has not been well nourished. It is just hiding in the sword in front of him. The mortal world is not a place for ghosts to stay. It has been riddled with holes until now, and even reincarnation is a luxury. Ordinary spiritual objects are of no use at all.

She only said that on the island country, the only way to save him might be in Takama-ga-hara or the goddess of the underworld, Izanami.

There may be immortals in Shenzhou who can do it, but whether it is Shenzhou or the island country, these beings are not something that a white fox like himself who is not even a golden elixir can contact.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Arima Norimune lowered his head in disappointment. His body, which was not very tall to begin with, looked even smaller as he leaned against the wall.

He was silent for a while, patted Dongye Yu, stood up and walked out of the Japanese-style room. Seeing this, Dongye Yu followed him out.

"How long will it take?" he asked in a low voice while standing in the not-so-wide corridor of the room, glancing at the Japanese-style room, afraid that the old man would hear him.

Dong Yeyu thought for a few seconds, "One month? If the Normal School reduces the time of activities, maybe it can last until the maple leaves turn red."

“Only one month.”

Arima Norimune looked gloomy, and asked tentatively, "Then let's take our ancestors Tadayoshi to Fukuchiyama after the final exams?"

The final exam is next Monday, and after the exam it will be summer vacation - Tachibana High School's summer vacation is from July 18th to September 1st.

The Yulong Flag will be held on July 20th, and the school trip and training will be held on August 3rd, which will last for a week. This means that it will be quite busy from now until August 10th.

However, since it concerns the last wish of Teacher Arima Zhongkang, all these things can be put aside.

Higashino Yu nodded without hesitation: "Okay, let's talk to President Yasuhara next Monday. They will go to Fukuoka first, and we will go to Fukuchiyama on our own, and then take a plane to Fukuoka."

"No." The old man's obviously tired voice came from Bizen Nagasafune no Kamikaze, who was placed on the sword rack in the Japanese-style room.

"You mentioned earlier that swordsmanship competition is a martial arts competition that brings together young swordsmen from all over the island country, right? How can I, Tianlan Ittoryu, miss such a grand event? You can take me to the scene when the time comes, and wait for me to see Ayu win the championship before going to Fukuchiyama."

Arima Tadayasu made the decision and said that he had an inexplicable premonition that after seeing Fukuchiyama, he would probably wake up from his dream.

"But your body can't withstand too much travel." Higashino Yu pushed open the shoji door of the Japanese-style room and looked at the broken sword on the knife rack with a worried look.

"Although I'm old, I'm not so old that I can't even walk. So let's do this. Do you want me to return to reality with regrets?" Arima Tadayoshi was quite stubborn.

Seeing this, the two men had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"I'll go back and think of a way. Maybe there's a spell that can reduce the damage that the outside world brings to the teacher."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Dongye."

The two of them walked downstairs and said goodbye at the entrance.

"Just send it here. Today and tomorrow are the last days of the weekend. Study hard because you have an exam next Monday. If you still don't do well on the test, you'll have a hard summer. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me on Line."

Higashino Yu said as he changed his shoes.

Arima Norimune was stunned for a moment: "Ah? Why don't we have a study session together? Imagawa also has the same idea."

"Will there be a study session?"

Dong Yeyu thought for a moment and hesitated. Miss Moon Witch and Jinguji would definitely come to the house on the weekend. If Imagawa and Arima knew
Imagawa is okay, he is a taciturn person but he is quite tight-lipped. But Arima is different, he has a big mouth and can't hold back on gossip, so he likes to talk about it everywhere.

What if your reputation is damaged?
"let's talk tomorrow."

Dongye Yu said ambiguously, said goodbye and left the Arima family. As soon as he opened the door, he was greeted by a strong wind. He looked up at the sky, his face changed drastically, and he immediately rode away on his black horse.

The climate in Tokyo is changeable in summer. In the evening, it was a magnificent sight of fiery clouds, but it changed in a blink of an eye. Gradually, it was covered with dark clouds, like a thick and dirty gray-black blanket covering it. Just looking at it made people feel depressed.

Occasionally, white light like an electric snake flickered in the rolling clouds. The evening wind gradually grew stronger, and the trees on both sides of the street began to bend and sway, with leaves being torn off and rolled into the sky.

Outside the residential area, the curtains of the izakayas, indicating that they were open for business, were rustling wildly, and pedestrians were running in the strong wind with briefcases in their arms. These were the life experience of Tokyo residents - there might be a storm tonight, and if they couldn't get home before the first drop of rain fell on the ground, they would probably be soaked.

Eh!
Higashino Yu lowered the acrylic windshield of his helmet and rode in a standard posture, occasionally glancing at the fleeting white light in the sky, and suddenly thought of a person, or rather, a dragon.

If we were to say where there are the most treasures, apart from the Heavenly Palace and the Divine Realm, it would probably be the Dragon Palace.

Yuanjun is the princess of the Dragon Palace. Although it is a river dragon palace, it may not be as majestic as the four sea dragon palace, but what if there is a treasure that can save the teacher?
I'm afraid he will threaten to repay the favor by then.

Dong Ye Yu was able to lower himself to ask for treasures. After all, life was at stake, and favors were like nothing if you didn't use them. They would only count if they played a role.

The reason why he did this for Arima Tadayoshi was not entirely for the sake of repaying a favor or seeking a reward.

Although I have only known this old man for a short time, I can see that he is truly devoting himself to teaching me what he has learned throughout his life. He asks for very little, almost nothing in return. He is a respectable elder.

Dong Ye Yu thought about this and decided to go to Taoxiang to visit Yuanjun tomorrow morning.

This person had previously said he would come to Tokyo for a tour but never followed up and didn't leave any contact information. I later wrote to Taodong to inquire and found out that he had fallen asleep again.

If no one wakes her up, she might sleep for a hundred years.

Fortunately, she asked her incarnation to perform the duties of a god before going to bed, otherwise she would probably repeat the same mistake. Now she no longer has the Demon Thunder Flag. If the demon from last time comes back and attacks her, what will she do?

About half an hour later, when I was riding near Kosuge, the phone in my pocket suddenly vibrated.

Someone called?
Higashino Yu parked his electric scooter on the side of the road, took out his cell phone and saw that it was manager Masato Kasahara.

I have resigned for so many days, and suddenly I received a call. I don’t know if it is about work or something else. Dong Yeyu thought to himself, answered the phone, and asked, "Mr. Kasahara?"

"Mr. Higashino, I'm sorry to bother you, but I really have no other choice but to find you." Mr. Kasahara's voice on the other end of the phone sounded quite helpless.

Dong Yeyu was a little curious when he heard this: "What happened?"

"It's not a big deal. It's that Miss Hashimoto who came to the store and kept asking you, Higashino-kun, to pick her up. She looked drunk. If it was another customer who was drunk, the store would have a whole set of reasonable ways to take care of him. But this customer seems to be quite close to you, Higashino-kun?"

Masato Kasahara said in a more restrained tone, "Are you coming to pick her up?"

Is Hashimoto-sister drunk?
Dong Yeyu felt that this was a little strange, but he quickly replied, "I'll be right there."

"Okay, please hurry up, she doesn't seem to be in good condition."

After hanging up the phone, Dong Ye Yu stayed there and pondered for a moment, and the more he thought about it, the more strange it seemed.

This senior from Sunshine Garden has worked hard all the way from an orphan to where she is today, and has bought a house and a car, so she can be considered to have settled down in Tokyo. It is not easy at all. She has good character, good living habits, and not many hobbies. She usually likes to stay at home, read magazines, and do design. She has the feeling of an ascetic big sister.

It was unusual for her to get drunk alone.

Did something unexpected happen?
Or did something happen to Mayuri?

Higashino Yu was guessing in his mind and drove back at full speed. Kosuge was not far from Minami-Senju where Duke Kobayashi's residence was located, and he soon arrived outside the restaurant. At this time, a drizzle had begun to fall from the sky, and the wind was getting stronger, and it was threatening to develop into a rainstorm.

The restaurant's clean windows let in bright, warm yellow light from inside, giving people a cozy and quiet feeling.

He pushed open the door of the restaurant and greeted the waiters and guests he knew. Some of the guests thought that Dong Ye Yu would come back sooner or later and still came several times a week. When they saw him appear in the restaurant, they thought he had come back to work and their eyes suddenly lit up.

A fat lady stretched out her hand to him, but then timidly pulled it back, as if she saw the bright moon in the sky and wanted to pluck it, but suddenly realized that it was something that was out of her reach.

"Higashino-kun--" she called out, her heart beating inexplicably faster, as if she had returned to her youth.

The young man looked back and smiled, but his words were no longer as poetic as before and were very common.

"Mrs. Toda, please enjoy your meal. I have something to take care of over there. Excuse me."

Masato Kasahara saw Higashino Yu coming in from afar and waved quickly: "Higashino-kun, here."

The location that Risa Hashimoto chose to dine is not a very good one. It is not by the window and it is not quiet either. The waiters passing by will pass by, so it is not a very good dining location. Maybe she sits here because there are no other seats available?

When Higashino Yu approached, Kasahara Masato looked up and said with a smile, "It's been a month since we last met. Higashino-kun looks a lot calmer."

"Mr. Kasahara is still as charming as ever. Is this Hashimoto-san?"

Higashino Yu walked over and exchanged a few words with Kasahara Masato, then looked at the woman who was drunk and lying on the dining table. He only took a glance and then narrowed his eyes slightly.

The person in front of me was wearing a revealing and gorgeous high-slit cheongsam. Her round and slender legs were wrapped in flesh-colored stockings. The whiteness on her chest was dazzling, and the deep cleavage almost sucked people's souls in. She looked exactly like Sister Hashimoto, but her aura and clothing style were very different.

Not only that, there is also a strong demonic aura about her.

As if she had sensed Higashino Yu's approach, 'Hashimoto Risa' who was drunk on the table opened her eyes, revealing a pair of blurred and charming eyes and voice. The waiter who passed by only heard a few words and subconsciously walked with his body hunched.

"Now that you're here, won't you help me?"

"Can you go by yourself?" Higashino Yu said with a smile, then said goodbye to Kasahara Masato and walked out of the restaurant on his own.

You helped it even though you knew it was a demon. Who knows what trap it might be? Do you think I'm stupid?

"You're really unromantic." 'Hashimoto Risa' didn't care. She picked up her bag and staggered behind him, causing many of Higashino Yu's old customers in the restaurant to grit their teeth and secretly curse her as a vixen.

Masato Kasahara looked at the two people who were leaving with some surprise. Did they have a conflict?

Thinking of this, he glanced around the restaurant and saw some ladies and white-collar workers looking pale. He stroked his forehead and sighed, thinking that the performance would probably get even worse from now on.

Or, recruit some good-looking high school boys? He stroked his chin and began to think about the feasibility.

The two left the restaurant. The drizzle just now had turned into a rain curtain. The bright lights of the commercial street became dim, and the pedestrians on the street shouted and ran to avoid the rain.

The consequences of going out without an umbrella.

Dong Yeyu leisurely took out an umbrella from his schoolbag, opened it, walked to Wuzhui, and casually wiped the rain off the seat.

"Where is she?"

Dong Yeyu asked casually, his voice seemed to be soaked by rain and a little cold.

"Who are you asking about, Higashino-kun?" Hashimoto Risa said in a tender voice, walked into the rain, stood behind Higashino Yu, with an indifferent expression.

"Where are Hashimoto-nee and Mayuri?"

Dongye Yu calmly took the sword bag from his shoulder and drew out the Clear Beauty Ichimonji Nagamitsu. The ivory-white scabbard had the texture of warm jade under the warm light coming through the street lamps and restaurant windows. He grasped the hilt of the sword.

'Hashimoto Risa' said with a smile: "Mayuri, of course she's at home. As for Hashimoto-nee? Am I not right here?"

"Shut up!"

Clang!
The sword tip that made people's skin tighten flashed and appeared on the tip of Hashimoto Risa's nose. The sword body was like a pool of clear moonlight, pure and cold. Dong Yeyu snorted coldly: "Demon, I can see at a glance that you are not human!"

The spiritual sword that had killed dozens of demons also sensed the demon's breath, and as soon as it was unsheathed, it exuded a terrifying murderous intent.

'Hashimoto Risa' was startled and showed a little surprise, but soon returned to her previous smile and calmness: "Did Higashino-kun misunderstand?"

"Don't pretend. You have the stench of a demon and the bloody smell of people you've eaten, and you can't wash it off even if you jump into the Pacific Ocean. Tell me the whereabouts of Hashimoto-nee and Mayuri, and I'll let you die a quick death."
