I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 282: No point in talking, let’s save the bird first

Mt. Tsurugi is a small mountain not far from Tokyo. It is one of the mountains between Hinode Town and Okutama Town. It is only about 700 meters above sea level and is not considered a majestic mountain.

In addition to the legend that the Tang envoys entrusted a crane to deliver a letter home - it is said that the crane also had a small shrine.

It is a small shrine similar to the God of Land, only slightly larger than a model, and people from the surrounding villages and towns often go there to burn incense.

The rest of the place is quite ordinary, the scenery is generally not spectacular, and the mountain roads are difficult to travel. Except for the highway and the small towns, towns or some service stations built along the highway, most of the area is mountainous.

Therefore, it is considered to be a place where few people go, except for hikers and some messy cult spreaders.

Occasionally there are reports of travelers going missing, but this is within the normal range.

In the past three years, there have been less than ten people missing, and most of them ran to the mountains to make money due to social pressure. These people are considered to have a sense of public morality, while those who jump off buildings are not very responsible.

Previously, when I was passing by an office building in Bunkyo District, a woman jumped off the building. Not only did she die, but she also killed a very energetic young man.

After reading the information, Dong Ye Yu found that it was a quite ordinary mountain. He prepared to go there immediately and then respond according to the situation when he got there.

It was only a matter of time before these monsters came to visit him. He had already made plans and preparations, so he was not too afraid or nervous. He was just a little worried about Xiuji's current situation, and was also a little confused about how it was caught.

Before leaving Tokyo, I had already considered that during the time I was away from Tokyo, the demons from Oeyama might come to visit me, so I arranged everything properly.

First, call Lisa Hashimoto and ask her to find a lodging in a large temple or shrine in Kyoto to stay there and be a pilgrim for a while.

Then he told Miko to take a few days off from school and not to leave the shrine - after all, with Miko's learning ability, she would be able to achieve excellent results even if she took a few days off from school.

At the same time, he also warned Xiuji not to stay at home, and asked it to go to Mount Takao for a few days to avoid the limelight.

Takao Mountain is the location of Yakuo-in Temple, where the main deity, Yakushi Nyorai and Izuna Gongen, are enshrined.

Higashino Yu was very confused when he saw it. How could there be both Medicine Buddha and Iganaga Gonen? One is Karasu Tengu and the other is Buddha. How did they get together?
Later, I read the information and found out that the island country believes that Iigatsuna Gongen is the incarnation of Yakushi Nyorai. The specific evolution is quite complicated, and it is impossible to verify whether it is true or not, but there is indeed such a great god there.

Dong Yeyu once looked at the divine realm there from afar and felt that the aura there was even higher than that of Yuanjun, and should be at least at the level of an earthly immortal.

On the hills where the great god's temples are located, there live many small demons and monsters who are not strong enough and do not like to fight. But if a big demon dares to cause trouble, he will probably be caught and refined in an instant.

But now that things have come to this, there is no point in saying more. Let’s save the bird first.

Higashino Yu sighed, thought about it, and called Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami - the other side had many monsters and powerful, and it would be difficult for a single fox to deal with it, so he had to mobilize some talents.

"Hey, Kagami Hiiragi? Are you asleep? If not, I want to ask you to do me a favor."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and then the girl's cold and calm voice rang out: "Go ahead."

"It's the thing I told you about last time that seems to be related to Mount Oe. A group of demons came and captured Xiuji, and nailed a letter on my desk, asking me to go to Mount Hegui. I'm not sure if it's the demon from Mount Oe, but I think--"

When Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami heard this, he immediately became serious, thinking that he was going to go alone. He frowned slightly and interrupted him immediately: "Don't act on your own yet."

As she spoke, there were hurried footsteps, as if she was running while talking on the phone.

"I'm going to inform my father now and I'll call you back later."

Is this what it feels like to shake someone?
Dong Ye Yu inexplicably felt a sense of guilt for bothering others.

But in fact, this is the correct reaction of most demon hunters when they encounter demons.

One of the precautions for exorcists issued by the Ministry of Religion, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology is to never venture in alone after discovering traces of a demon.

Otherwise, not only will it harm yourself, but it will also easily alert the evil spirits, making them more vigilant and causing more mortals to suffer.

The correct approach is to monitor the movements of the demons while notifying the government, assess the risks, and then mobilize various resources to encircle and suppress them. We will not stop until the demons are eliminated.

Demons and monsters are different. They have tasted the benefits of eating humans and it is impossible for them to stay in the mountains and practice hard. They are absolutely hostile to humans.

If they live even one day longer, a few more people may die.

After waiting for a while, there was still no reply from Jinguji. Higashino Yu thought for a moment and called his acquaintance Takigawa Tadahiro in the Ministry of Religion, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.

"Hello, is this Vice Minister Takigawa? This is Higashino Yu. I'm sorry to bother you by calling you so late at night."

"Hai Ye-kun, is there something wrong?"

"I do have some urgent news for you concerning the demon."

"Oh? Please go ahead and I'm listening."

Higashino Yu then told him about the appearance of the Oeyama demon in Tokyo, and warned him that a highly skilled demon might appear in Tokyo recently, and asked the Ministry of Religion, Culture, Science and Technology to be on high alert.

I also asked him to inform me as soon as possible if there was any news from the Ministry of Religion, Literature, and Science.

Since the situation where the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light cannot be reversed, I might as well make my vision brighter.

With the intelligence agency of the Ministry of Religion, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology as his eyes, it would be easy to deal with if he could find any trace of Shuten-doji. He could just use the Pure Yang Sword to cut off his head.

"Oeyama?"

Takigawa Tadahiro felt a little unfamiliar when he heard the word, but then he realized that this seemed to be the power of the legendary demon leader Shuten-doji?

But this is a demon that only exists in legends, and it’s sealed, right?

After all, the head of Doujikiri Yasutsuga that was cut off is still collected in the Tokyo National Museum.

He was a little skeptical at first, but thinking of Dong Yeyu's cultivation and strength, he pondered for a moment and asked, "Mr. Dong Ye, this is a serious matter. Are you sure?"

Now it was Dongye Yu's turn to be silent. He had learned the news about Oeyama from that fox demon. What if she was just trying to scare him?
Up to now, apart from the fox demon, I have not seen any other demons claiming to be from Dajiang Mountain. It is indeed not certain whether this demon force really exists.

But what is certain is that a demon with considerable cultivation has set his sights on him - after all, he has taken Xiuji hostage, which means he has a grudge against him or has investigated him.

Even if his true strength cannot be found out, it is well known that he has a powerful fox demon at his disposal. If he dares to provoke me under such circumstances, this demon must be very powerful.

Dong Yeyu thought for a moment and answered seriously, "I'm not sure if he or they are the subordinates of the legendary Shuten Douji, but I can be sure that their cultivation should be much stronger than the crow monster that Vice Minister Takigawa suppressed last time."

"You may not have any idea of ​​what I mean, so let me explain it to you. If we use the degree of disaster to show it, the harm caused by the crow monster is just a breeze, while these monsters are comparable to tsunamis and typhoons." Are they so much more powerful than the crow monster?

Takigawa Tadahiro sat up from the bed, thought for a moment, realized the seriousness of the matter, and was sweating profusely. If a demon of this level were to cause trouble in Tokyo...
"How did Dong Ye-kun know about these demons?"

"I first exorcised a demon in Tokyo, and then..."

Dong Yeyu recounted the incident, "Now a demon has captured one of my shikigami in the vicinity of Hachioji City, and has come to my house and left a letter, threatening me to go to Hegui Mountain. I guess there must be some connection between the two."

"Of course, even if it doesn't matter, these demons can already enter and leave Tokyo freely. I think it won't be harder to just grab one to eat when they pass by than grabbing fries in KFC."

Upon hearing this, Takigawa Tadahiro nodded solemnly: "I understand. I will notify the section chief to strengthen the security in the city and notify you if there is any disturbance. Also, what are you ready for now?"

"Let's go to Hegui Mountain and see that although my Xiuji is incompetent, he is also a loyal shikigami."

"It might be a trap, why not wait"

"Don't worry, I'm just going to investigate and won't act rashly."

"Then I wish you peace and safety."

Takigawa Tadahiro sighed, hung up the phone, and sat on the edge of the bed in silence.

Mobilizing the Mobile Department was not something he could do alone. He had to confirm that there was a demonic disaster, assess the danger, and finally get orders from above before the Mobile Department could be dispatched.

The key incident took place far away in Hegui Mountain, and by the time the order came down from above, it was too late.

I hope Buddha can bless Dongye-kun.

After Higashino Yu had shaken everyone he could, he began to make preparations for the war.

Calling for help was just to prepare for follow-up alert, but they certainly wouldn't be able to get there in a short while. If he wanted to save Xiuji right now, he had to go there himself.

He casually put Xiuji's feather into his pocket, then put down his luggage and backpack, put Chengming Ichimonji Nagamitsu on his back, and took out a stack of white talisman paper dolls that Kaori Shiori had given him from the drawer.

These paper figures are not difficult to make, but the raw materials are quite laborious, requiring special processing of the paper to enable it to carry magical powers.

I originally thought about making it myself, but those two girls would bring some gifts every time they came to visit.

Either they are talisman papers for various purposes, or they are spiritual materials for setting up formations. Now I have accumulated a small drawer of talisman papers and miscellaneous materials, so I am too lazy to make them myself.

After taking his equipment, Higashino Yu locked the door and went to the house, or mansion, where Asumi Sanae lived next door.

This is a three-story villa with a small courtyard, in a typical Western style. It has been renovated a second time due to Asumi Sanae's personal request. It does not look like a small mansion, but rather has the feeling of a palace villa.

The courtyard was lit up by lights, and the cobblestone paths glowed with starlight, so it didn't seem eerie even in the middle of the night.

I rang the doorbell outside the yard, and a slit appeared in the curtains of the bedroom on the third floor. It was probably Sanae Asumi who was observing me, and then her voice came from the doorbell speaker.

"Your Excellency the Knight, you have come to my courtyard late at night. Has your evil desire finally become irresistible?"

What is this all about?

Dong Yeyu's face darkened, he was somewhat speechless, and said seriously: "I have something important to tell you, it is very urgent and quite dangerous."

Asumi Sanae saw that he was serious and stopped joking.

Click, and the iron gate of the yard opened automatically.

"Please come in."

After entering the mansion, Higashino Yu came to Asumi Sanae's reception room as if he was familiar with the place. Not long after, there was a knock on the door outside the reception room, and then she walked in wearing a homely violet dress.

She seemed to have just taken a shower. Her long golden hair was not completely dried and was hanging wetly. A section of her fair and translucent calves was revealed under the folds of her skirt. Her delicate and beautiful feet were wearing gorgeous slippers.

She sat down opposite Dong Yeyu without any hesitation, and looked puzzled: "What makes you so anxious?"

Higashino Yu explained with a serious expression.

"Remember the demons I mentioned to you earlier? Xiuji may have been captured by them, and I have to go save him. You and I have a close relationship, so it is inevitable that you will be targeted by those demons. It is not safe to live here, so I would like to invite you to stay at Miko's house for a while."

"And your family. The demons have no moral principles. It would be best to inform them to stay in a large shrine or temple for a few more days."

It was a little difficult for Higashino Yu to talk about this. Although it was inevitable to encounter such things when slaying demons, when it really seriously affected the lives of relatives and friends, the feeling of guilt would surge like a tide.

"Well, the realm behind the veil is indeed difficult to accept the taint of evil from the real world."

Seeing that Sanae didn't say much, didn't ask any more questions, and didn't get angry, Ming Ri got up and made a phone call, and came back about ten minutes later.

At this time, she had already changed into a white long dress for going out, and her hair was blown dry, but it looked a little frizzy, so she pressed it down with a gauze hat and simply carried the suitcase that she had not opened since returning from Fukuoka.

"Let's go."

Higashino Yu walked over and took the suitcase from her, apologetically saying, "I'm sorry, Sanae, because I provoked these demons, the lives of you and your family have been greatly affected."

He called me Zaomei
Asuhi saw Sanae's clear and pure ice-blue eyes suddenly widen, and her crystal ears turned bright red, as if they had a fever.

How dare you address this princess by her name? How rude!

However, considering the hard work and great contributions of His Excellency the Knight, I will forgive him reluctantly.

Thinking of this, she took a few quick steps outside, a few steps ahead of Dong Ye Yu so that he couldn't see her face, and at the same time used a calm voice to cover up her emotions.

"To gain something you must first lose something. You are in the kingdom of night. To gain your loyalty, I will inevitably arouse the jealousy of the filth in the night, but it is all worth it."

"If you are truly sorry from the bottom of your heart, you might as well transform this apology into loyalty to the Mirror Moon."

Dong Ye Yu smiled and quickly followed.

Natsuko Sugida had just parked her car on the road outside the mansion, and Higashino Yu was going to set off for Hegui Mountain after Sanae was settled.
