I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 274 Who comes first?
has it ended?

Shinji Goto watched the two people bow and leave in silence.

That is a very powerful swordsmanship, even more advanced than Zhenhui's. If he continues to hone his skills for a period of time, he can be called a true swordsman of the world.

Could such a person be a lucky person who only relies on Shikigami to advance?

This was unexpected, and based on my style of doing things, I should have a plan to deal with it.

Have it?

Shinji Mikado thought for two seconds and realized that he had not made any contingency plans at the time. He just assumed that Higashino Yu was a lucky guy and made a stupid and clumsy plan based on this.

I seemed to have lost my mind. It was not something I could do, whether it was the conversation with him that night or the series of arrangements that followed.

Although it makes sense - in a competition, who would hold back?
But any discerning person could see that it was not only impolite and decency-ridden, but also failed to achieve its purpose. It was just like a fight among the common people, and was extremely ugly.

How could I become like this?
Shinji Mikado thought for a while and it seemed that he had lost his mind since the day he saw Higashino Yu standing next to A Jing.

Is this the position that Ajing holds in my heart?

He looked at the beautiful figure who stood up and left the table, starting to walk backstage towards the competition. Her steps, which were always in perfect accordance with etiquette, were now much faster, as if she was eager to see that person.

Until now, after observing for these few days, how could he, who thought he knew Jinguji well, still not understand his intentions?
Or maybe, I should have known it a long time ago, but I just didn't want to believe it.

Bitterness filled Shinji Mikado's heart, but how could he accept that as a childhood sweetheart, he could not defeat the childhood sweetheart that fell from the sky?
Thinking of this, I feel sad: "It is just a dream, I am wandering alone in the secular world, wearing icy raincoat as a raincoat."

"Now you believe it, right? When it comes to relationships, it's not just about knowing each other first and knowing each other for a long time. Now that we've been defeated head-on, if the news gets out, we, the Nine Provinces Demon Exorcists, might be laughed at for ten years."

Shinji Mikado, who was in a poetic mood, came back to his senses after hearing the didactic words around him. He looked at Kaoru Uejima beside him. The girl, who was now dressed in casual clothes, snorted, as if to say, "You didn't listen to your cousin, so you'll suffer, right?"

Shinji Mikado seemed open-minded and did not vent his anger on her. "Although I acted impulsively, I was not stupid enough to be discovered. It was a swordfighting competition. At most, I was not as skilled as my opponent. Winning and losing are common."

"As for Ah Jing, I still want Ah Jing to reject me in person. I can't let my feelings that I have prepared for several years end in vain before I even express them."

Kaoru Uehara rolled his eyes: "Are you a masochist? People are taking care of your face and are saying they don't like you, so why don't you just walk away quietly?"

Shinji Mikado was silent for a while. "Just think of me as a stubborn donkey. To me, this is a relationship that has been brewing for many years. In just a few months, all my plans for the future have turned into illusions. Therefore, even if it is unrequited love, I want to shamelessly have a complete ending."

"I won't comfort you if you're humiliated."

Shinji Mikado smiled and said, "I'm not that fragile yet."

"Whatever you say." Kaori Uehara showed an expression that he really couldn't do anything to you, and flipped through his phone. "They're going to be evacuated soon, it's just a ghost, why make such a fuss?"

"There are so many people here, and a little disturbance could cause panic among the people. It would be terrible if a stampede occurred. There has been a lot of unrest in various places recently. We have been guarding Fukuoka for generations and accepting offerings from the people. We have the responsibility to protect them."

Shinji Gokado quickly put away his sentimental attitude and spoke seriously.

Kaoru Kaminagi was just about to mock his cousin for being hypocritical. He was not so righteous when he bullied Higashino Yu. However, when he thought about how he would have to endure the difficulty of receiving the engaged couple from Jinguji later, he felt a little sympathy for him.

My cousin is also a complicated person.

The girl looked at her cousin who had a rare confused look on his face, thought to herself, and then immediately started complaining.

No wonder he has never been good at swordsmanship since he was a child. How can he be passionate about swordsmanship if he thinks about so many irrelevant things?
Maybe this is why Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami doesn't like his cousin?

But he was blind to fall for Dong Yeyu. What's the point of being good-looking? He was a jerk with a heart smaller than a needle eye.

Thinking about how he was forced to his knees by his aura, Kasumigaseki's face turned blue and red.

Soon, the stadium broadcast sounded.
"I am reporting an emergency notice now. The power failure just now has attracted the committee's high attention. Engineers are urgently investigating the cause, but the cause of the accident is not clear at the moment. To prevent..."

Dong Yeyu listened carefully and the general meaning was that the organizer was afraid of a second sudden power outage or other accidents with safety hazards.

In addition, it was getting close to noon, so the competition was going to be suspended so that everyone could take a break, eat and drink, and the organizers could also check some circuit problems in the gymnasium.

After all, there are tens of thousands of people in the stadium. If something happens and a few people die, the organizers will probably have no choice but to bow and apologize, right?

At most they will compensate for some losses. Of course, the person in charge will definitely be fired. Right now, the repair work during the lunch break is probably a move to save their career in order to keep their job.

After the notice was issued, the audience in the stadium had no complaints about the arrangement. It was almost noon anyway. However, the organizers of the competition simply said that what happened was a power failure, which was a bit naive.

Some audience members booed and raised questions loudly, but received no response.

All subsequent matches that had not yet started were relegated to the afternoon, and those that had already started ended quickly - kendo matches were very fast, and a 1V1 duel might end within just a dozen seconds of starting.

In extreme cases, speedrunning an entire team may only take a few minutes, and this includes the pre-match and post-match salutes.

After about twenty minutes, all the competitions in the stadium were over, and the participating teams and spectators began to leave the stadium one after another under the guidance of the organizing staff.

After witnessing two bizarre events in succession, the audience was talking about it, and some girls looked back in the direction of Higashino Yu reluctantly.

"Let's go too. Let's get some rest and continue our efforts this afternoon. Although we have killed a powerful enemy, it is only the first step towards the Jade Dragon Flag."

An Yuan He Si said with a smile that for him, nothing was more important than getting the Jade Dragon Flag, as it was related to his future and destiny.

Although the other students were very curious about what had just happened, they stopped asking when they saw that Higashino Yu had no intention of explaining.

The taciturn nature of the Japanese is still quite good at this time. If they are not very familiar with you, most people will not be very persistent in asking some private questions, and may even pretend not to see you.

The group started walking towards the rest area, preparing to change out of their kendo uniforms and go to the restaurants around the gymnasium to eat something - the gymnasium does not provide meals, and only staff members can eat employee meals.

At this time, several staff members came up to him. They smiled at the limping Arima Norimune and asked, "Excuse me, can we talk to this student alone?"

Arima Norimune was a little confused, and the other students from Tachibana High School were also puzzled. Yasuhara Kazushi asked the reason: "Excuse me, is there a problem?"

"It's not a big deal. It's just related to the injury that Arima just suffered. Our doctor found some problems and wants to check him again." The staff explained.

Arima Norimune stretched his arms and legs, then said with a grimace, "I'm fine now, but it still hurts a little."

The staff member said seriously: "If it hurts, it means something is wrong. If the students have sequelae from the competition, it will be troublesome."

Seeing that Arima Norimune had difficulty walking, Yasuhara Kazushi also felt that he should be carefully examined, so he persuaded: "Arima-kun should go for another examination with these staff members. If it doesn't work, go to the hospital later."

Arima Norimune hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."

At this time, the staff member looked at Higashino Yu, who was closest to Arima Norimune, and asked politely, "Arima-san is not very mobile, would this student be willing to accompany him?"

"Row."

Arima Norimune was his friend, and it was his duty to help him since he was injured. Higashino Yu readily agreed. The two said goodbye to their classmates from Tachibana High School and followed the staff to the infirmary.

After arriving at the infirmary, the staff asked the two to wait for a moment and the doctor would be here soon.

Arima Norimune was lying on the bed, not showing any of the dejection he had just shown after being defeated in an almost humiliating manner. Instead, he looked expectant.

"Ayu, what do you think we should do when we raise the Jade Dragon Flag?"

Dong Yeyu wrinkled his nose. The pungent smell of disinfectant in the infirmary made him feel uncomfortable. While inspecting the medicines in the infirmary cupboard, he glanced at Arima Zezong who was rubbing his wrist and asked, "Have you adjusted your mentality so quickly?"

He turned sideways on the examination bed and laughed, "I'm about to get a Jade Dragon Banner champion like you, Ayu, and learn the legendary Wuxiang Sword. In comparison, I was just beaten with a bamboo sword. If I can get these things in exchange for being beaten, I would rather get beaten a few more times."

You fucking thing. Dong Ye Yu was speechless and was about to complain when there was a knock on the door.

"Sorry for bothering you."

The voice was deep and heavy, and then he pushed the door open and walked in. However, the people who came in were not doctors, but several exorcists. Higashino Yu was not unfamiliar with them. One of them seemed to be a judge on the podium, his name was Yasuhiro Mikado?
There is also Shinji Gokado, Masaki Gokado, and Kaworu Uehara who fought against Jinguji that day.

I didn’t recognize the other exorcists, but they seemed to be led by an old man with white hair and beard and messy eyebrows.

The old man had an ancient face, frowned white eyebrows, and a pair of sharp, piercing eyes. Judging from his appearance, he was a rigid, stubborn person who did things his own way.

The demon hunters behind him were all holding talismans and knives, exuding a murderous aura.

"Who are you?"

Arima Norimune was a little surprised to see these people wearing haori with family crests and real swords on their waists, and wondered if he had broken into a studio where a movie about the end of the Edo period was being filmed.

I wonder if my identity as a fox has been exposed?
Dong Ye Yu looked at this scene and became suspicious. If it were in the past when his cultivation was low, he might have transformed back to his original form and killed everyone and escaped.

However, now that he already has an officially certified identity, he might be able to get someone from the Jinguji family over with a phone call. He even has a connection with the Inari Shrine. If that doesn't work, he still has a relationship with Yuanjun. So he doesn't have to be as panicked as before.

The person above is either a human or a god, and one can even say that he is very confident.

Dong Yeyu frowned and asked, "What do you mean by this?"

"Don't you know, little friend Dongye?"

Yasuhiro Mikado was a little confused, but he still patiently explained: "There is a ghost living in the sword box on your back. It is against the law of nature for the dead soul to stay in the world of the living. It disrupts the order of the human world and the underworld. We are here to send him to rest in peace."

The old man was quite polite, and Dong Yeyu's attitude also softened a bit.

"The ghost you are talking about is my teacher, Arima Tadayasu. He was betrayed and died in battle hundreds of years ago. His spirit resides in his sword, and today it is only a candle in the wind. Not to mention that he was loyal and virtuous during his lifetime. He has not haunted me for so many years since his death. I guarantee with my life that nothing will happen to him."

"Since he is already a candle in the wind, he should be sent to the afterlife. Do you, young friend Dongye, want to see his teacher's soul scatter?" Yasuhiro Yumen frowned.

If I could help him to be liberated, I would have recited the Wonderful Sutra of the Most High Mysterious and Treasure Heavenly Venerable for Saving the Suffering and Removing Sins 180,000 times already. Do I need you to tell me?

Dong Yeyu sighed and said, "Teacher has reached the point where he is no longer able to complete the journey to the underworld. If he were to be saved like this, he would probably be blown away by the cold wind as soon as he entered the underworld, unless there is a treasure that can repair his soul. However, such a treasure is probably only found in the legendary Takamagahara or even the East Heaven Palace."

"I brought him out this time just to fulfill Teacher Fan's wish, to repay his kindness in teaching and letting Teacher Fan rest in peace without any regrets. I will take care of his affairs, so you don't have to worry about it."

"I have been slaying demons and monsters for a decade, and I have seen more ghosts than you have eaten rice. These ghosts will gradually lose their sanity over time, and be dominated by the resentment when they died, turning into man-eating evil ghosts. What good will come of trusting evil ghosts?"

The old man with white hair and beard and messy eyebrows became impatient and drew out his shining sword with a clang.

"Why waste your words on this kid who hasn't even fully grown his hair yet? He's still wet behind the ears and his mind has been bewitched by a demon. Pin him down and send that old ghost to hell. If you can't send him to hell, why not just burn him to ashes?"

As soon as he drew his sword, several demon hunters who followed him also drew their swords.

Seeing that they were about to start fighting without saying a word, Dong Yeyu grabbed the railing of the examination bed and twisted it a few times. A teeth-grinding metallic sound was heard, and the railing was broken off by him and turned into a steel rod.

"Who comes first?"

What a lot of strength.

Everyone present was quite surprised to see this. You know, the quality of the treatment bed is very good. The guardrail can be broken by bare hands, and the person may be beaten to a pulp by brute force alone.

Brother, please give me a monthly ticket. If you give me a lot of monthly tickets, I will update another chapter today.
