I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 283 Justice Gang Fight
The road was very quiet and there were few cars. The dim light of the street lamps flashed regularly with gradual brightness.

This black car was the only car driving alone on the huge highway. There were sporadic lights on in the residential area. Compared with the neon lights that never stopped in the bustling city in the distance, this neighborhood seemed to be abandoned.

Higashino Yu took out the Chengming Ichimonji Changguang from the sword bag and placed it flat on his legs. He closed his eyes and meditated to adjust his state. The Chunyang sword box floating above his dantian was as steady as a mountain, and the famous sword in his hand was flashing a pure white halo like breathing.

Natsuko Sugida glanced through the rearview mirror, then turned her head back. She didn't ask why they suddenly wanted to go to Inari Shrine so late, but just focused on driving, speeding up a bit.

Asuhi saw Sanae turning her head to look at Higashino Yu, her ice-blue eyes dimmed a little, and she suddenly felt a little envious of Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami.

If it were her, she might take up a knife and fight the monster together with him, right?

Today, Higashinoya is some distance away from Ayase-zaka where the Inari Shrine is located, but Natsuko Sugida drove very fast and arrived at the small parking lot outside the shrine in about ten minutes.

"We're here." Natsuko Sugida reminded.

"Thank you for your hard work, Ms. Shigata."

Higashino Yu opened his eyes, thanked him, got out of the car, and took out Asumi Sanae's suitcase from the trunk.

When I turned around, I saw her standing by the car door, staring at me without saying a word.

Dong Yeyu guessed that she might be worried about him. After thinking for a while, he comforted her, "Don't worry, he shouldn't be a powerful character. If everything goes well, I will be back tomorrow morning."

Asumi Sanae was silent for two seconds: "You will be defeated by your own pride."

She came to Dongye Yu and said seriously: "The real world is not behind the curtain. The light of the mirror moon is weak and dim here. If Your Excellency the Knight is defeated, you must escape back."

"Please don't joke."

Dong Yeyu raised his thumb and smiled confidently: "I am the Knight Commander of the Royal Guards of the Mirror Moon Royal Court. I am just a little demon who is willing to sell his head."

Asumi saw Sanae staring at him and blinking, then rolled her eyes at him: "Don't add more settings to yourself, you haven't returned to your status as a Royal Guard Knight yet."

"Ah? But I won the Jade Dragon Banner Championship this time?"

"This princess does not think that the sword fighting competition has anything to do with the Mirror Moon Royal Court."

As she spoke, she put her hands behind her back, holding her gauze hat, and walked lightly towards the torii gate where the shrine's main gate was located.

So the right of interpretation belongs to you, right? Dong Yeyu stood there for half a second, a little speechless, and followed with his suitcase.

Natsuko Sugida walked in front, listening to the rather strange conversation between the boy and girl behind her, thinking to herself, this is probably what they mean by "people from the same family tend to stick together."

The three of them walked up the main approach to the shrine, passed through the shrine, came to the door of Iori's house, and rang the doorbell.

A few minutes later, the door opened. When Grandpa Iori, who was yawning, saw that the person coming was Higashino Yu, he was a little happy at first and greeted him quickly: "Yu, didn't you say you would be back tomorrow?"

"The itinerary was changed at the last minute because our instructor was worried that there were too many students and there might be safety issues in a foreign place, so he came back early." Dong Ye Yu explained with a smile.

"That's it, come in quickly."

He said as he opened the door and then spotted Asumi Sanae and Sugida Natsuko beside Higashino Yu.

Hmm, is that the rich girl who used to come here often to look for Ayu?

Iori Tadamichi had met Asumi Sanae before, but they had never formally met. When he saw Higashino Yu bringing them to Iori's house, he looked at Higashino Yu with some confusion.

"Who are these two?"

Dong Ye Yu then introduced both parties to each other and explained the reason for visiting so late tonight.

". That's probably why I'm worried that those demons will harm Miss Asumi, so I want you to take her in for a few days. I also want to remind you not to leave the area under the jurisdiction of Inari Shrine during this period."

Natsuko Shida bowed and said, "Please, Iori Miyaji."

"Is that so?" Iori Tadamichi nodded and said, "Since you are Ayu's friend, I welcome you."

"I'm really sorry to have caused you so much trouble." Dong Ye Yu said somewhat embarrassedly.

Iori Tadamichi invited them into the courtyard and gave Higashino Yu a somewhat unhappy look: "Boy, have you become so distant after just one week in Fukuoka?"

"No matter how familiar we are, we still have to be polite."

Dong Yeyu smiled and helped close the door.

This is not only true for the people of the island country, but also for the people of China. If they want something, they must be polite to others. In my previous life, when I asked my father for military pay in college, I had to call him very politely to say hello before mentioning the issue of military pay.

Everyone entered the courtyard. It was already past twelve o'clock and Yu Zi had already fallen asleep, so everyone walked lightly.

At this time, Iori's grandmother also put on her clothes and came out to see what was going on. After hearing that Higashino Yu's friends would stay at home for a few days, she prepared to take them to the guest room to rest.

"The guest room is over there. It was prepared for A-Yu, but he doesn't stay at home often. The bedding and mattress are all newly bought. If you two ladies don't mind, please stay here for one night. Please follow me."

"Excuse me."

Natsuko Sugida bowed, and Asuhi saw Sanae standing on the corridor outside the reception room and looked back at Higashino Yu. She subconsciously reached out and pressed down her hat with a bow tied with a ribbon. The midsummer night wind ruffled her long hair draped behind her, and her pure white skirt fluttered at her slender white calves.

Her face was hidden in the shadows, but Higashino Yu could sense the worry hidden in her gaze.

Higashino Yu gave her a reassuring look in return: "The Iori family may not be as comfortable and luxurious as your residence, but it is a place that makes people feel at ease. Please don't worry, you will see me tomorrow morning."

“May the light of the mirrored moon guide you.”

The girl nodded slightly, then turned and left.

Is this a unique way of saying goodbye? Iori Tadamichi looked at the two of them and classified it as a trend among young people today.

With his worries gone, Dong Yeyu stood up with his knife in hand: "Then I'll take my leave first."

"Aren't you going to say goodbye to Miko?"

Iori Tadamichi sat at the table and said in a deep voice that demon hunters usually walk on the edge of life and death in their fight against demons, and there is a possibility of losing their lives every time they hunt demons, so people in the demon hunter family take the matter of farewell very seriously.

Higashino Yu answered seriously: "Grandpa Iori, I have absolute confidence that I can kill those demons. It's not because of arrogance or self-confidence, but because I have the protection of the gods. Therefore, this is not a farewell of life and death."

"It's not a big deal. I'll be back soon. Yuko has already gone to bed. It's better not to wake her up."

Speaking of this, Higashino Yu suddenly thought that with Yuko's personality, she might blame herself for falling asleep.

After thinking for two seconds, Dong Yeyu suddenly said, "Grandpa Iori, I'm going to the study."

As he spoke, he walked towards the study. Iori Tadamichi followed him curiously and saw him kneeling in front of the desk and writing a message on a piece of paper -

"Good morning, Miko. I want to eat red ginger tempura and croquettes for breakfast today. In exchange, I will bring Miko the first mousse cake of the morning when I pass by the dessert shop on my way home. Please."

Finally, I drew a cute smiley face.

"It's enough for Miko to see this when she wakes up in the morning." Higashino Yu looked at Iori Tadashi and said. The old man sitting next to him glanced at it and nodded.

Dong Yeyu took a paperweight and pressed it on the message paper, then walked out of the study.

"Ayu."

Dong Yeyu turned around.

Iori Tadamichi said, "Come back soon, Miko misses you very much."

"I know."

Higashino Yu nodded, said goodbye to old man Iori, and walked out of the Iori family courtyard while untying the rope of Chengming Ichimonji Nagamitsu and hanging it around his waist to make it easier to draw the sword.

Although the Gunblade Law is strict, demon hunters with official status are exempt from this law and can carry real swords.

When passing by the shrine, Higashino Yu bowed in the shrine's worship hall as a greeting and a formality.

Otherwise, Princess Inaho has helped me so much, but I would be so rude if I didn't even say hello when I passed by her shrine.

After worshipping the gods, I turned around and was about to leave, but I suddenly found that there were many more lanterns in the shrine. The surroundings were full of red maples, and the starry sky became dreamy. The shrine maiden wearing a fox mask and a white dress and red hakama knocked on the back of the stone Komainu with a pipe.

"Long time no see, Senior Chunyuan."

"Did those demons come after you?"

"Well, one of my followers was captured by them, and I have to go rescue him."

Haruhara seemed to be thinking about something: "Come to think of it, there were indeed demons lurking around Ayase-zaka during your absence. With your level of cultivation, it might be difficult to deal with them, and there might be traps."

"Even if it's a trap, are you going to go?"

Dong Yeyu nodded: "I am the only follower, so I will go. Besides, I will have to face those monsters sooner or later. This time I will go to see what level they are at, so that I can have a better idea."

Chun Yuan nodded, without saying anything more, nor offering any help, but just reminded: "If you find something wrong, use the spell immediately."

After saying this, it turned into smoke and disappeared, and the shrine became dim again.

As soon as I left the shrine, I received a call from Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami.

"I'm outside your house, where are you?"

Dong Yeyu: ".What do you mean?"

I just wanted to tell you to ask the demon exorcists in Tokyo to pay more attention so that I can get information about those demons. Why did you go straight to my house?
The cold voice of Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami came from the microphone: "I told my father about the matter. He organized some elders in the family and notified the demon exorcists around Tokyo who could rush to Hegui Mountain, and prepared to go together."

I guess, so many people? Dong Yeyu was surprised: "With such a big scene, aren't you afraid that I'm lying, Hiiragi Jing?"

"You're not that kind of person."

"Those demons are very dangerous. They can kill people."

"If we let those demons wreak havoc on the world, more people will die."

"Okay, what you said makes sense." Dong Ye Yu was helpless. The people had been called here, and it was impossible for them to go back now.

"If something goes wrong, I will be Bao Si and you will be King You of Zhou."

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami was stunned for a second as if she didn't react, then she pursed her lips.

"If it's false information, then you need to go door to door with me to apologize."

She said calmly, then asked, "So where are you?"

"I'm going to Hegui Mountain first. Xiuji is in the hands of those monsters, so I have to rescue him first. If I go with you, we will be too conspicuous and it will be easy to alert the enemy. Then Xiuji might be in danger of his life."

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami thought for two seconds and said, "Please be careful. I will tell my father that we should focus on surrounding the mountain first. Remember to write to me after you rescue Xiuji. Then we will get rid of those monsters together."

Oh my god, what is tacit understanding? Dong Yeyu smiled and said, "That's what I meant. I'll contact you later. Be careful on the road."

After hanging up the phone, Higashino Yu got off the shrine and found a Lexus parked there waiting. This was the car that he had asked Sugida Natsuko to arrange for him.

The demons we face this time are different from the previous ones, so naturally I have to go there in my physical body and give it my all. However, my physical body is not like a ghost spirit that can travel thousands of miles at night.

There is a long distance from downtown Tokyo to Hegui Mountain. If you walk there, it will take an hour even if you change back to your original form and run at full speed.

Although taking a car is not much faster, it saves energy and allows you to stay in peak condition at all times.

About fifty minutes later, the car carrying Higashino Yu stopped in a village near Tsuruki Mountain in Hinode Town.

The mountain, which still looked pitch black in the night, could be seen from afar, but due to concerns for the driver's safety, he was not allowed to get too close.

"Thank you. That's all. Please be careful on your way back."

After getting off the car and saying goodbye to the driver, Dong Ye Yu concealed his breath and spent a few minutes running to the side of the road at the foot of Hegui Mountain. When he looked up, he saw that the demonic aura was indeed overwhelming. This demon was a bit rampant and did not hide it at all.

Of course, it could also be that he was deliberately luring himself into the trap.

But it is hard to say who catches whom.

Dong Ye Yu checked the talismans and swords he was carrying, as well as the escape talisman and Chunyang sword box floating in his dantian.

If Shuten Douji came in person, he must summon the Pure Yang Sword as quickly as possible.

After completing the inspection, Dong Yeyu glanced around.

When I got here, I hadn't seen the demon hunters summoned by the Jinguji family. Maybe they hadn't arrived yet - it would take a long time to gather the people. If I went straight to Hegui Mountain, I would definitely be much faster than them.

It just so happened that Dong Ye Yu quickly found a small path and went up the mountain in the dark to avoid disturbing the monsters on the mountain.

"It's been two days and your master still hasn't come to rescue you. He's really heartless."

A strange man was staring at a large pigeon surrounded by a circle of branches. He was tall and thin, with slender hands and feet that made people feel strange and even scary. He had a horse face and facial features that seemed to be pieced together. His eyes were glowing green, as if he was going to eat the pigeon alive in the next second.

Hiding under his wings, Xiuji didn't dare to look at him, but just muttered: "My lord is wise and intelligent, it is impossible for him to fall into the evil schemes of you demons, so you should give up this idea as soon as possible."

"What did you say?!" the man was furious, opening his mouth to reveal a mouthful of fangs.

"Don't eat me!" Xiuji was so frightened at the sight that all his feathers stood up and his body shook like a sieve.

The fat man at the side glanced at him and said, "You bastard, you dare to eat it? If you can't attract that guy, you should be prepared to apologize yourself."
