I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 300 I will always watch over you, forever!!!
"Haven't you heard of the legend of the fox repaying a favor? There are many such legends in Shenzhou."

Seeing that Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami was a little confused, Higashino Yu told him some stories from Shenzhou, such as the Legend of White Snake.

He also brought up the setting of Queen Taishan, who is in charge of all the fox fairies in the world - even though he had never seen Queen Taishan and didn't know whether she really existed, he just assumed she existed.

"In short, if fox fairies want to become true gods, they must choose to practice hard by extracting the essence of the sun and the moon. Once they choose to eat humans, they will fall into the path of demons and will never be able to become gods again."

"At the same time, you must repay the favors you have owed over the long years in an appropriate manner. Even if your cultivation and power have reached the level of a god, you cannot become a god if you have not repaid all the favors."

After explaining, Dong Yeyu asked, "Haven't you always been curious about why I saved you?"

Jinguji Hiiragi's dark eyes were as calm as autumn water: "Why?"

Dong Yeyu leaned back and leaned against the chair.

"It's actually very simple. There are two reasons. First, we are classmates. If we can help him, anyone with a conscience and a normal outlook will do so—"

"But you are a fox." The girl interrupted coldly.

Dong Yeyu was speechless: "This is naked discrimination. Do you think that because I am a fox, a monster, I have no conscience, no morals, and no feelings? I swear to you, if the Creator gives me the ability to open my heart, I will definitely let you see that my heart is also red. Even if He does not do this, we are still equal in spirit. Haven't you seen Pride and Prejudice?"

Dong Yeyu stood up straight, extended his index finger, and Uncle Sam's gaze penetrated his heart.

"Prejudice always exists in you humans. Countless people have learned their lessons, but you still refuse to repent. As expected, the only lesson humans can learn from history is that humans never learn lessons from history."

Seeing that Higashino Yu, a fox, had magically modified various famous human sayings to accuse him, Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami was unable to refute it, but at the same time, he found it a little strange and funny.

The girl pursed her red lips and lifted the hair that had fallen down from her ears: "I have never seen a monster like you."

"Haven't you seen it now?"

Dong Yeyu said unhappily: "I have never seen someone as stubborn as you. You are suspicious and hostile just because you are a monster. What is the difference between you and those who discriminate against Brother Ni?"

"Oh, I also discriminate against Brother Ni, that's fine."

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami rolled his eyes at him and shook his head slightly, "No matter what you say. Monsters are cunning and treacherous, and they are not of our kind. We must be on guard against them."

"You just said that humans don't learn lessons from history. Quite the opposite. It's precisely because there have been demon exorcists who rashly believed in demons and were killed that I am so wary of you."

Damn, you're taking someone else's path and leaving them with nowhere to go, right? The demon of the ditch.

Dong Ye Yu cursed inwardly, but there was nothing he could do now that things had come to this. He sat dejectedly on the chair as if he had given up resisting.

"Then are you going to call your family out to surround and seal me?"

Higashino Yu asked in a low voice, but he was not worried that she would suddenly smash the cup as a signal to send out five hundred swordsmen and axemen. Although Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami was so stubborn that people wanted to punch her, she was indeed an upright person.

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami did not answer this question, but asked instead: "I heard before that a two-tailed fox rescued a crow monster from the Special Anti-Mobile Division. Was it you?"

Dong Yeyu thought for a second and decided that there was no need to hide this matter, so he nodded and admitted, "It's me."

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami stared at Higashino Yu and asked, "Where did the divine carriage come from? Did you steal it?"

"Hiragi Jing is such a joke, who dares to steal this thing?"

Dong Yeyu was speechless and explained, "It was the Imperial Inari of the Inari Shrine. Senior Haruhara lent it to me, and Princess Inaho agreed."

"Ah."

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami looked at Higashino Yu for a long time and shook his head: "Foxes are all liars. Who knows if what you said is true."

After that, I stopped dwelling on this issue and returned to the previous topic.

"You just guessed that I might gather the power of the Jinguji family to seal you. Since you know there is danger, do you dare to come to my house?"

"Aren't you afraid of being sealed in Gion from now on?"

Higashino Yu shook his head and looked at the girl with bright eyes and sincere gaze: "I believe that the Hiiragi Jing I know would not do this."

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami stared at him for a long time without losing face. Her jade-like cheeks gradually turned pink. She looked away and said, "If you trust others rashly, you might get killed one day. How stupid."

"You are not someone else." Dong Yeyu's eyes were still sincere.

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami took a deep breath and said, "Speak properly."

"Am I not speaking properly?"

The girl pursed her lips tightly, her butterfly-like eyelashes trembling slightly: "I mean, forget it."

She stopped talking and ignored Dong Yeyu, lowering her head to read a book.

What's going on? Why are you silent?

Higashino Yu blinked, stood up, and approached the girl across the table: "So Hiiragi Jing you won't do anything to me, right?"

Jinguji Hiiragi Jing gently supported Higashino Yu's forehead with the pen in his hand and pushed him away: "Go away."

"It is very rude to interrupt someone when they are reading."

"It is also very rude to do something else while answering someone's question."

After hearing this, Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami was silent for a while and did not look up at Higashino Yu.

Wow,

She gently turned the pages of the book, and a cold girl's voice rang out.

"It's just temporary. I will keep watching you until the day I die. During this period, if I find out that you have hurt humans, don't blame me for not caring about our friendship as classmates."

"Then I have something to confess. I have indeed hurt humans." Dong Ye Yu raised his hand.

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami's body paused at first, but then he thought about the fox's personality and what it might be like, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Dong Yeyu started talking to himself: "Not long ago, when I first came to Tokyo, I found a part-time waiter in a western restaurant. You know Hiiragi Jing, right?"

The girl nodded slightly: "Well, pleasing those women in exchange for money is consistent with my impression of fox demons."

"A penny can make a hero fall. You are from a rich family, so you don't understand how hard it is for us peasants to struggle in this world—"

Dong Yeyu said, and found that she was staring at him, and smiled awkwardly: "Anyway, I was working as a waiter there, and then I offended some gangsters, and a few people came to cause trouble for me, and then I-"

"You ate it?"

Dong Yeyu could feel the girl's eyes turning cold at a visible speed, and shook his head: "No, I just beat them up and seriously injured them. I had just arrived at the time, and I thought it would be troublesome to offend the police, so I didn't kill them."

"But I did kill a few people."

"Who?"

"Kusaka Nagamasa." This time, Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami didn't rush to get angry, but was a little surprised: "How did he offend you? Because he likes Sanae?"

"If it's just a small matter like jealousy, then I won't kill her. It's normal for a gentleman to be attracted to a beautiful lady."

Higashino Yu said, recounting what Kusaka Nagamasa had done, and then said sincerely: "The position of Miko in my heart is very important. In my rage, I killed Kusaka Nagamasa and the desperate criminals he found."

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami was silent for a few seconds, then he hummed and said, "As a defender of order, I advise you to turn yourself in." He didn't say anything else after that.

"If I encounter such a villain in the future, I will still kill him."

“That’s something for police officers to worry about and consider.”

"But I am a monster, Hiiragi Kagami, you——"

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami was annoyed by what he said and glared at him: "Okay, then you surrender now and let me exorcise you."

"No." Dong Ye Yu smiled.

Looking at the filthy smile on the young man's face, the girl snorted and didn't want to pay any attention to him.

After receiving the reply from Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami, Higashino Yu felt much more at ease.

Although she said that she would keep an eye on me, both I and she knew that she was just talking, implying that she already believed in me.

Is it because he has the support of the gods, or because of the friendship they have had for so long, or is it both?

Dong Ye Yu was too lazy to think about it. Everything in the world could not escape the saying "it's hard to be clear about it". Sometimes it was meaningless to get to the bottom of it.

The atmosphere in the study became quiet. Occasionally, footsteps were heard from the distant corridor, but no one came here. It seemed that the demon exorcist of the Jinguji family might not be very fond of studying.

There are many glass windows designed on the sunny side of the study, and there are also many lamps inside, so the room is well lit and bright. The sunlight shines through the clear window glass, and the dust looks lazy and leisurely.

Dong Ye Yu looked through the records about the demons of Mount Oe for a while and found that they were just rough descriptions, and the level of details was not even as good as the confessions of the demons of Mount Oe. He soon threw them aside and lost interest.

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami seemed to have finished reading the book on refining magical instruments. At this moment, she was holding up her cheek and staring blankly, as if she was thinking.

Dong Yeyu observed carefully for a moment. The girl's fair and delicate skin seemed to be shrouded in a layer of pure white halo in the sunlight. Her eyebrows were slender and soft. Her dark eyes were as pure as the night and had a clear luster like gems. Her nose was delicate and straight, and her lips were moist.

She has always worn her hair in a girlish style, but one can never get tired of it. It seems like a perfect match made in heaven, as it not only shows the girl's cuteness, but also her dignity and grace.

She is indeed a very beautiful girl. If I were still a mortal, I would definitely want to marry her.

Dong Yeyu thought about this and coughed, "Actually, Hiiragi Jing, I have one more thing to ask of you."

"what's up?"

Dong Yeyu rubbed his hands together, stood up stealthily, squatted next to the girl's seat, looked around, and asked in a low voice.

"Can you help me find some detailed information about Oeyama, such as how to get to Oeyama, how--"

"I can't do it." The girl withdrew her gaze and interrupted Dong Ye Yu.

Dong Yeyu pulled at the girl's wide furisode and said, "Don't be impatient. Just listen to me first."

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami glanced over and Tono Yu let go of his hand, but he did not stop persuading him.

"Just think about it, the demons in Dajiang Mountain are in the dark, and I am in the light. How disadvantageous it is! If they launch a sneak attack one day, I won't be able to counterattack."

"So I asked you to live in Gion." Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami said, and paused: "Or in that Inari Shrine."

Dong Yeyu shook his head.

"Not to mention that I can't stay in the shrine or your house for the rest of my life, and it's inappropriate, aren't you planning on going out?"

"Those demons kidnapped Xiuji in order to avenge me. Will their evil gaze fall on Sanae next? On Kaori Shiori? On you?"

"I heard that Shuten-doji is a perverted demon who likes places like yours the most--Ah!"

Before he could finish his words, his ears were wrapped by a soft and gentle touch, and then pulled. Dongye Yu grimaced, but he couldn't get angry because he had to ask someone for help.

"Let go! You can't touch a fox's ears casually. Didn't your parents tell you that?"

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami glared at him, pinched him hard, and then let go.

Evil woman, no wonder Kaori Shiori has suffered from tyranny for so long. Dong Ye Yu complained in his heart, rubbed his ears, and sorted out his words.

Seeing that Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami didn't even look at him, Higashino Yu clicked his tongue, reached out and pinched her face, moving her face towards him, not caring that the girl's cheeks were turning crimson at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her black jade eyes seemed to be able to spit out flames.

"Hiragi Jing, please help me. I am really worried about the demon. There is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days."

"Don't worry, I'm definitely not courting death, nor am I arrogant. I have a magic weapon that can kill those monsters, trust me."

Dong Ye Yu clasped his hands together, with a sincere expression like a fox worshiping the moon, as if he could not see the girl's anger.

"I am no longer the wandering wild fox. You, Sanae, Kaori Shiori, Miko, and many more relatives and friends. I have flaws all over my body. If anyone is hurt by those demons because of me, I will feel extremely guilty."

"Help me, Hiiragi Kagami. I owe you a favor. I am a fox and I will definitely repay you in the future."

As Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami listened to his words, his expression gradually calmed down. He stared at Higashino Yu for a long time, and seeing that he refused to waver, he sighed.

"I'll try my best. Those materials are taboo and require the seal of the head of the family to borrow them."

Dong Yeyu was overjoyed: "Do you want me to help you steal?"

Jinguji Hiiragi tapped his forehead with the tip of his pen and said seriously, "No stealing."

"Just kidding, I'm a law-abiding, tax-paying citizen."

Dong Ye Yu stood up with a smile, picked up the useless records of Oeyama on the table and walked into the complicated bookshelf to return them.

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami stared at his back for a while, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this time, Asumi Sanae came over from the other side with some books, and Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami called her.

"Sanae, I figured out the answer to that question this morning."

Asuhi saw Sanae looking back with a confused look on her face.

"Humans first come into contact with order and knowledge, then practice, always knowing where their path lies. Monsters, on the other hand, practice first, then use their ignorant wisdom to learn everything about humans. Since devouring humans can quickly and easily increase their strength, they will lose their way in most cases and become monsters."

"So, Hiiragi Kagami, you still think that youkai and human practitioners are different?"

"Yes."

"But I don't deny that a small number of monsters can learn to become beings that are almost the same as humans, or even better, with more conscience and morality."
