I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 254 The Fox Eating Leftovers
I was just saying it casually, did you really do it?
"Thank you, I'm really sorry to trouble you."

Higashino Yu bowed slightly and thanked her somewhat embarrassedly. He had only mentioned to Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami at a study session a week before going to Taoxiang that he wanted a wooden sword case that could nourish the soul. He didn't expect that she really took it to heart.

The reason why he wanted to preserve the soul's magical instrument was mainly because the old man's soul was in very poor condition now. It could be said that his whole body was like a sieve and his soul power was constantly leaking. If he didn't get something to nourish his soul, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

Although Mr. Arima's soul had long since become a candle in the wind, and even with this kind of treasure and magical weapon it would be powerless to save him, but being able to let him hold on until he fulfilled his wish and fall into eternal sleep without any regrets can be considered a kind of repayment.

But then I remembered the talisman on the bottle of the Herbal Pill that could ensure that the pill energy and even the spiritual power would not be leaked, so I forgot to tell her that I had found another way.
Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami bowed her head slightly in return. Her princess cut hairstyle was very unique. The hair on both sides of her temples would cascade down like a waterfall if she bowed her head slightly.

She smoothed the hair hanging by her ears, as if she wanted to say something, but when the words came to her lips, her pair of pure black eyes as dark as the night met Dong Ye Yu's smiling expression, and her bright pupils trembled.

This is just to repay his kindness. There is no ungrateful person in the Jinguji family.

Jinguji Hiiragi thought so, with a cat-like arrogance and indifference on his face. He pursed his lips slightly and said in a cold voice: "You don't have to say thank you to me. I owe you this."

"There's also space for Kaori and Shiori," she added.

No, are you the repaying fox or am I the repaying fox?
Dong Ye Yu was a little speechless. This was the truth, but when it came from this woman's mouth, it always felt like she was keeping him at a distance, as if they would never have any contact after repaying the favor.

If Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami were to turn into a female fox to repay her gratitude, she would definitely be more dedicated than me.

Of course, based on Higashino Yu's understanding of Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami, these words were probably just pure gratitude, with no intention of distancing herself from him - otherwise, she would probably distance herself from him a dozen times a week.

"Is that a sincere thank you? I'll take that as it is."

Higashino Yu said, bluntly: "It would be great if Jinguji-san could express his gratitude more thoughtfully in the future. Otherwise, I would always think that you are thinking that you will become a stranger to me after repaying the favor."

It’s hard to say whether she is straightforward or twisted. Many times, what she really wants to express in her heart will be distorted by her cold appearance and unpleasant words, and I really don’t want to guess.

"I will, if you ask me to."

Jinguji Hiiragi's eyes flickered slightly, and she looked away, not looking at him, nor paying attention to his words, but just said to herself: "I'll have someone deliver the things to your house."

After saying that, she walked away quickly, her steps hurried, as if something was chasing her.

It's probably a combination of straightforwardness and stubbornness.

Dong Ye Yu looked at the slim back of the girl and thought to himself, however, most of the time when he was with her, he only talked about spiritual practice. It would be nice to have someone to confirm his spiritual practice experience with.

Just like learning, understanding it yourself is not the highest level of learning. The highest level of learning is that you have learned it yourself and can teach others.

Otherwise, why do they say that most of the big figures in the Three Realms are good teachers?
After Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami left, Arima Norimune came over and put his arm around his shoulder: "Touye, isn't this wrong?"

"How can you still flirt with other women when you already have a girlfriend? It's so immoral!" He first condemned her harshly, then changed the subject and started to fawn on her: "Dad, please teach me this secret family skill?"

"Why is my son so respectful at first and so humble later?" Dong Yeyu glanced at him.

Arima Norimune said solemnly: "It is my duty as a gentleman to condemn you. But at the same time, the saints of Shenzhou said that among three people, there must be one who can be my teacher. Ayu, you are far superior to me in the way of love. It is not shameful to learn from you. Master, please teach me!"

The corner of Dongye Yu's eye twitched, and he glanced at Arima Zeumune, whose face was as thick as a city wall, and spoke seriously without fear of hitting him.

"Some things are determined at birth. Yuma, discover your inner beauty and wait for someone to appreciate it."

"What do you mean?" Arima Norimune pondered for two seconds: "Are you saying that my appearance is already perfect, but I need to be more beautiful inside, so that I won't become a useless pillow?"

Can you still understand it this way?
A rotten tree cannot be carved. Dong Yeyu shook his head: "What I mean is, if you are ugly, don't even think about being beautiful."

Arima Norimune was stunned for a second, then he looked at Dongye Yu from the side and shook his head sadly: "Dongye, you have changed. You used to be a gentle person and would never say such hurtful words. I am very sad. You have to compensate me with three servings of grilled squid!"

"No money."

"Woo, so the friendship will disappear, right?"

Arima Norimune said strange things with a playful smile and chased after the man who was walking towards the sunset with relaxed steps.

It was about four o'clock in the afternoon. The sky was clear and the wind was gentle.
Because it was an off-peak hour, the Shinkansen was not crowded. There were not many passengers inside the carriage. Apart from a few scattered travelers and middle-aged office workers on business trips, most of the others were members of the Kendo Club of Tachibana Private High School who were traveling to Fukuoka to participate in a competition, as well as their instructors.

Even when people spoke, they managed to keep their voices down, so it was quite quiet.

There are five seats in a row in the carriage, two seats on the left and three seats on the right.

Dong Yeyu sat in the aisle seat on the left.

The carriages of the island country's Shinkansen are slightly different from those of domestic high-speed trains in terms of layout and number of seats, but Higashino Yu feels that there is one thing that is similar - the seats in both are equally uncomfortable.

In fact, whether it is high-speed rail or airplane, these means of transportation are designed in this way to maximize space saving and increase carrying capacity, so the seat design is basically compact.

Try to cram as many passengers as possible and arrange the seats as tight as possible, as long as you can make more money. If passengers are not satisfied with the comfort, they can buy exclusive seats such as first class.

I can only say that the designer is really cunning. Damn it, don’t ordinary passengers deserve a good riding experience?
Dong Ye Yu cried out like a poor person in his heart, and occasionally he would have wild thoughts. If he could be the size he wanted, it might be more comfortable to ride the bus if he turned back to his original form.

In fact, you can achieve the most comfortable posture by just leaning back and adjusting the seat, but this often affects others.
How about just adjusting it a little bit?

Dong Ye Yu's hand stroked back and forth on the button for adjusting the seat angle, and he was torn between his conscience and his desires.

Unlike the difficult decision that Higashino Yu is facing, the time seems peaceful and tranquil in the seat next to him.

The sunlight shines through the bright small windows of the Shinkansen carriage onto the flat gray table. The Haagen-Dazs strawberry ice cream with a silver spoon exudes a sweet and cold air, and lazy dust floats in the light.

The beautiful girl, who looked like an elf in the legend, lowered her head and looked outside through the narrow window. She was wearing a retro outfit with a Victorian classical charm, with an exquisite hat with a French blue ribbon tied into a bow on her knees. The brooch inlaid with emerald reflected a gorgeous rainbow in the sunlight, and her golden hair echoed like golden silk threads, shining brightly.

It was the first time for Asumi Sanae to sit in a second-class seat used by ordinary people. She was a little curious at first, but after a while of the train starting, she gradually felt disgusted.

She also felt that the seat was uncomfortable, and after sitting for a while, she felt uncomfortable all over, but when she thought about the person next to her, she couldn't lose her dignity as the Lord of the Mirror Moon in front of him.

The girl rubbed her slender neck, feeling inexplicably regretful.

Alas, I should have brought the knight and the Jinguji Inquisitor to the first class cabin earlier.

But in this way, the knight will not be able to admire his appearance up close, he must feel regretful, right?
Asumi saw Sanae thinking of this and secretly glanced at Higashino Yu, but found that he was not looking at her, but just staring at the seat adjustment button with his fingers in a daze.

Is that button more worthy of your attention than yourself, the noble Lord of the Mirror Moon?
The Moon Witch snorted softly, and gracefully grasped the silver spoon. Perhaps she used too much force, she scooped out a large piece of sweet and tempting ice cream and put it in her mouth without even looking at it.

Well!
She frowned, her ice-blue eyes widened, and she subconsciously opened her mouth to ease the overly cold touch, but then she thought about how she could not do such a rude thing as the Lord of the Mirror Moon.

And the setting is that the Moon Witch is not afraid of cold or heat.
Ming Jian Sanae thought about it and felt that her face was more important, so she simply swallowed the big piece of ice cream in her mouth expressionlessly. A layer of fine cold sweat suddenly broke out on her smooth white forehead, and it took her a while to recover.

Then she placed the ice cream on the table along with the silver spoon in front of Dong Ye Yu who was beside her.

"what happened?"

Dong Yeyu felt strange.

When the waiter brought the ice cream, she also said she wanted to eat some, but she ordered some for Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami and the two girls, Kaori and Shiori, who followed her, and didn't buy any for herself.

It was a pity that he had to be both a bodyguard and a master, but in the end he couldn't even get an ice cream to eat. He was very angry at that time, and in a fit of rage, he ordered the cheapest Meiji ice cream.

This ice cream would only cost a little over 100 yen outside, but the price tripled on the high-speed rail. Higashino Yu ate the ice cream with a bitter taste in his mouth.

"I can't eat any more, so I give this to you as a reward."

The girl leaned against the window, the sunlight made her face look white. She looked at Dong Yeyu and said seriously, "The supplies in the Kingdom of Darkness are scarce and must not be wasted."

You, give me the leftovers, right?

Dong Yeyu was furious, but Asumi Sanae's icy blue eyes looked at him calmly, and she said softly, "Don't you think this is an honor? It comes with a gift from the Lord of the Mirror Moon. Enjoy it."

She put a note of Fukuzawa Yukichi into Higashino Yu's pocket.

"A gentleman does not accept charity given out of pity." Dong Yeyu said seriously. He has not worked much during this period. Although his savings have shrunk, this matter of dignity cannot be solved by just money.

Asuhi saw Sanae blinking and took out two more Fukuzawa Yukichi cards.

If there are three, that’s a different matter. After all, things never happen more than three times.

Dong Yeyu was filled with awe, "Your gift is like the cool and clear moonlight, saving me from the scorching hell."

After saying that, he immediately picked up the ice cream happily and started eating it - ice cream really should not be wasted.

It’s not an insult to say that I grew up eating leftovers. Foxes are made of iron and ice cream is made of steel. People always eat ice cream in the summer.

Of course, after spending this semester together, Higashino Yu has developed a great understanding with Asumi Sanae, and naturally they don't take this joking relationship between the two seriously.

As for the taboo on physical contact between men and women, first of all, I am a fox, and secondly, Asumi Sanae has come to my house almost every weekend in the past few months, and this is not the first time she has done such behavior.

Seeing that she was not so pretentious, Dong Ye Yu didn't care anymore.

How rude! Your Excellency the Knight was born in the Kingdom of Night, so he probably has never tasted these things.

Mingri saw Sanae raise her head slightly and think condescendingly.

Her eyes fell on the silver spoon that had just touched her and was tasted by him without hesitation. She seemed to think of something, her crystal white ears turned bright red, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she quietly moved her eyes away.

He must have long wanted to get closer to himself as the incarnation of the mirror moon, just like a firefly always chasing the light.

This is human nature, and even Your Excellency the Knight is not immune to it.

Dong Ye Yu had no idea what kind of messed up things the girl beside him was imagining in her mind at this moment. She was just carefully savoring the few delicious foods during this uncomfortable journey.

The sweetness of Haagen-Dazs and the freshness of strawberries made Dongye Yu eat them non-stop, and he felt in his heart that it was indeed the right decision to agree to let Miss Moon Witch come along.

This time, Asumi Sanae came along not because of any relationship with the Kendo Club, but simply to avoid trouble and watch Higashino Yu's match.

The reason was that during the two days of preparing to go to Fukuoka, Higashino Yu did not notice any unusual movements in Tokyo or any demons coming to his door. He guessed that the demons in Oeyama might still be investigating secretly, or even not investigating at all.

After all, Shuten-doji's Oeyama is nominally a demon organization, and it is not a very tight and strict organization.

Whenever the king asks Xiao Zuanfeng to patrol the mountains, he always slacks off.

However, he was not sure when the enemy would find him. There were only a few people in Tokyo who were familiar with him. Miko was unable to move around easily and could stay in the shrine. The Jinguji family was a great family of demon exorcists, and Shuten Douji might not be willing to offend them - after all, it might trigger the emotions of the demon exorcists.

Although he is a great demon, he won't be in any danger.

After thinking about it, Asumi Sanae is the most dangerous.

At first, I suggested that she find a big shrine to hide in, but she asked back, "Are you afraid of that demon, Sir Knight?"

Dong Ye Yu had the Chun Yang Sword in his hand, so he was naturally not afraid.

Seeing how confident he was, Asumi Sanae said, "If His Excellency the Knight is not afraid, then how can I, as the Lord of the Mirror Moon, be afraid of him?"

However, despite saying such nice words, Asumi Sanae still followed them shamelessly - according to Sugida Natsuko who followed and sat a few rows behind, Asumi's family all went to pay homage to Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine.
