I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 312 Look at the legs

what happened?

One of them is a transformed demon?
Or is it an illusion that appears along with this historical silhouette?

Higashino Yu walked around the sedan twice, while looking at Asumi Sanae and the others sitting in the sedan. Looking left and right, he found that the two girls looked exactly the same, even their clothes and hairstyle were no different.

It's probably impossible to tell from the outside.

"excuse me."

As Dong Ye Yu spoke, he moved his nose close to the girl and sniffed left and right. He was shocked at that moment, his fox eyes widened. These two people even smelled the same, how was this possible?

Six-eared macaque, is that you?
Did I smell it wrong?

Dong Ye Yu hesitated and wanted to get closer to smell it twice.

The girl sitting in the sedan on the right frowned slightly and pushed the white fox's nose with the sheath of her sword to prevent him from getting close: "What are you doing? How rude!"

Dong Ye Yu's nose was tickled by the sword in her arms and he sneezed. When the girl saw the white fox, which was always so majestic, making such a move, she covered half of her face with a folding fan and smiled with her eyebrows and eyes like a crescent moon.

Laughing fart.

Dong Yeyu glanced at her.

When the girl saw that he dared to glance at her, she immediately glared back and said, "Your master is my subordinate."

My subordinates’ subordinates are still my subordinates!
This seems real.

Higashino Yu made a judgment immediately, but the one on the left was very calm and serious, with a noble temperament like a princess, and like Sanae in the state of Miss Moon Witch.

Higashino Yu thought about it and called the Sanae on the right Sanae and the Sanae on the left Miss Moon Witch.

It's best not to jump to conclusions until you are absolutely sure.

If we guess wrong and get deceived by the demon, this rescue operation might go too far.
Higashino Yu thought for two seconds and suddenly remembered that Sanae had a very small mole on her left thigh - she had accidentally seen it when she came home wearing a dress.

But both of them were wearing very traditional and gorgeous kimonos. In ancient times, people in this island country did not wear underwear with kimonos. I couldn't ask them to lift up their kimonos right away so I could see their legs.

Regardless of whether they are willing or not, the current situation is not appropriate.

Those ghost soldiers, ghost generals and Shifan, the ghost king, are still immersed in this historical scene and playing their roles. If they discover any clues and wake up, he will not be able to protect everyone from so many ghosts.

Then, Sanae asked, "Where is Mr. Higashino?"

"Lord Higashino is currently guarding your body with Miss Jinguji to prevent a sneak attack from the demons of Mount Oe."

"So you are the only one who came?" Miss Moon Witch, who was sitting in the sedan chair on the left, pondered.

Sanae, who was sitting on the right, frowned when she heard her voice. Why did this voice sound exactly like her own?
She had been in this sedan chair since she woke up, and had been bumpy all the way and attacked during the journey, so she had never noticed who was sitting in the other sedan chair.

"Yes, but isn't it enough to have me here?"

The white fox's tone was calm and serious, making people feel that it was not saying this out of arrogance.

When Sanae and Miss Moon Witch heard that Higashino Yu did not come and only sent a shikigami to save them, they both pursed their lips and fell silent, looking a little lost. Although they knew that his approach was absolutely correct and rational, they still felt uncomfortable.

Miss Moon Witch quickly pulled herself together and asked, "Do you know what's going on?"

Dong Ye Yu did not answer, but looked up not far away. Arima Zemune and his men had gathered the remaining soldiers and ran towards this side. Seeing that there were no pursuers behind them, the maids also gradually gathered together and rushed towards this side.

"Please get off the sedan chair. The bearers have all been scared away. It's inconvenient for you to move in your kimonos. I will carry you away from here first."

Dong Ye Yu said that he was not afraid that his presence would awaken the resentful ghosts in the ancient battlefield - after all, if they were to awaken, they would have shown their fangs and claws when he was forced to take action.

There is no other way. If we sit back and do nothing, the classmates and villagers who accidentally enter this ancient battlefield will be killed by those samurai foot soldiers, and they might die in real life as well.

What's more, Sanae is still among them, so she can only take risks. If those monsters really wake up, she may have no choice but to fight.

Fortunately, it seems that my appearance did not cause any reaction from these monsters and ghosts.

Dongye Yu was actually also very surprised. He had made quite a noise. Generally speaking, the resentful souls immersed in obsession would definitely go crazy when encountering such a situation.

"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Ayu."

When Miss Moon Witch heard White Fox's suggestion, she nodded slightly, walked out of the sedan gracefully, tidied her clothes, held a folding fan in her hand, and had an ivory-white sword inlaid with gold chrysanthemum pattern on her waist.

On the other side, Sanae was crouching beside the sedan chair like a dog, peeking at the girl. After looking her up and down, she was stunned. Seeing that the white fox seemed to believe her, she quickly came out and asked, "Why do you look like me?"

Miss Moon Witch turned around, her eyes flickered, and she also frowned: "Don't you know that impersonating the Moon Witch is an irreparable sin? Please lift the spell and leave on your own, otherwise Master Ayu will surely bring the wrath of the mirror moon upon you."

Seeing that she had said what she was about to say first, Sanae felt suffocated and her face flushed. She turned to look at the white fox with a hopeful look.

"Sir Ayu, with your wisdom, you will surely be able to recognize who the real Moon Witch is, right? Please punish this lunatic who dared to offend the Moon Witch's majesty."

I really can't recognize it. Dong Yeyu was silent for a second, and replied: "We can talk about other things on the way. Whether it's true or not, come up."

Seeing this, Sanae was stunned, pouting her lips, feeling a little aggrieved.

Sir Knight, who possesses amazing wisdom, how could his followers be so stupid? If he were here, he would definitely recognize me!
Higashino Yu looked at the expressions of the two people, and the balance in his heart swung back and forth. Sanae seemed to be more familiar to him, but Miss Moon Witch seemed to be more in line with her usual middle school appearance.
It's a bit hard to tell.

"Be careful, don't fall."

Dong Ye Yu gave a warning and lay on the ground in distress, preparing to ask some questions on the way that only the two of them knew in order to identify the person.

Stupid fox!
Sanae walked up to the white fox with the sword in her arms and kicked him lightly, her icy blue eyes fixed on Miss Moon Witch beside her.

"I know you are the fake one. Lies need more lies to cover them up. Your true face will eventually show up."

Miss Moon Witch looked at her calmly, "In the eyes of the Moon Witch, the truth of the world is exposed, and so is you. The reason why I didn't use my extraordinary power to expose you is just to see what kind of performance you would put on to please Your Highness."

This seems to be real, with such a strong middle school atmosphere, it can only be said to be strong, no need to say more. Dong Yeyu looked back, and Miss Moon Witch gave him a smile.

"Then wait and see, impostor." Sanae muttered, and climbed onto the white fox's back first, occupying the best position for vision and safety - a little behind the shoulder blade socket.

Miss Moon Witch didn't compete with her and jumped up gracefully on the fox's soft and dense fur.

Although she is a sixteen-year-old girl, she is a foundation-building practitioner after all. Her body is much more agile than ordinary people, so it is not surprising that she made such a move.

Higashino Yu looked back and made sure that the other side's troops had not yet regrouped to pursue again, and that the roles played by the villagers and classmates were still safe, and then ran towards the distant Fukuchiyama Castle.

However, he did not run very fast, but kept a speed that allowed him to see Arima Norimune and his men, so that he could return to help them in time if they were pursued. The road was fairly flat, and in the distance, he could even see fields with paths and paths connecting them. The rice had formed golden waves, but there were no farmers in the rice fields. There were only scarecrows stuck in the fields, with the gray rags casually draped over them rustling in the wind.

On the way, Dong Yeyu asked,

"Can you tell me what happened after you got here?"

Sanae thought for a second and opened her mouth to answer, but Miss Moon Witch beat her to it.

Her voice was soft, like a whisper in your ear, and her tone was elegant and extremely beautiful.

"I fell asleep last night and woke up in that sedan chair. I heard from people around me that they were going to take us to Kyoto. We walked a long way, and then Lord Arima from Fukuchiyama Castle came with his troops to escort us."

Sanae took advantage of her pause to answer in the same elegant and beautiful, but more lively voice: "We didn't walk far when people outside started shouting that there was an enemy attack and screaming. I thought someone must have been killed. Then the general who had been protecting us ordered some samurai to protect our retreat, and he rode on horseback and led some foot soldiers to fight. I didn't see the others clearly because the view from the sedan chair was not good."

She said most of it in one breath, panting slightly.

Sanae has good lung capacity and is very energetic, Higashino Yu commented in his mind.

Miss Moon Witch made a final addition: "You probably know what happened later. We met you."

"Do you know what this is all about?"

"All I know is that we are in an ancient battlefield full of dead souls. A god sealed the ancient battlefield in order to suppress and purify the evil spirits and ghosts here, but the seal was probably unstable, causing the souls of you, your classmates, and the local villagers to be absorbed here."

"So how do we leave?"

"We need to find the god who protects this place."

Dong Ye Yu did not explain too much - at the moment he didn't know which Sanae was the real one, so he did not tell anyone about the old man he met on the road. Naturally, the Water Spirit Pearl also needed to be kept secret for the time being.

After saying that, Higashino Yu began to think about what the two Sanae said.

Sent to Kyoto? Is this a part of history?

Last night, when I accompanied Teacher Fan to the Fukuchiyama Castle Museum, I took a stroll and read some history, and I did get to know a little more about the events of this period.

Judging from the era in which Shihan lived, it should have been during the Battle of Sekigahara - that is, Toyotomi Hideyoshi died of illness and his youngest son succeeded him but was unable to take power due to his young age.

After Tokugawa Ieyasu gained control of the Toyotomi family, he led the Kwantung Army to launch a massive attack on Kansai, using the excuse that Western Army generals such as Ishida Mitsunari were attempting to usurp power from the Toyotomi family.

Most people know the final result. Tokugawa Ieyasu was the ultimate winner of the Warring States Period. After all, even people who don’t know the history of the island country may have heard of the names of Tokugawa Old Turtle and Tokugawa Shogunate.

Higashino Yu didn't think much about it. The most urgent thing was to identify who the real Sanae was, then find the god who was in charge of this ancient battlefield, and defeat Shifan who became the Ghost King.

Finally, he helped the gods purify this place and returned to the inn safely with his classmates and villagers.

"Then I'm going to start trying to figure out who is the real Miss Asumi Sanae. Are you ready, both of you?" said Higashino Yu.

"Please ask, Lord Ayu." Miss Moon Witch replied softly.

It would be strange if a stupid fox could tell the difference. Sanae held her breath and hummed, barely a response.

Miss Moon Witch wouldn't be so rude, Sanae will lose one point!
It was as if two score sheets appeared in Higashino Yu's mind, and a scarlet -1 mark appeared on the side where Sanae's name was written.

"What was Master Dongye wearing when you first met him?"

"School uniform." X2
They both answered in unison.

"What is that thing you are holding in your hand?"

"Discounted bento." X2
"At that time, Your Excellency the Knight was even poorer than the people of the night. If it weren't for my reward, you would have starved to death in your rented house."

Sanae was upset about Higashino Yu not coming to save her, and she complained harshly.

"That's not the case. I think that with your talent and wisdom, you can get his loyalty no matter where you go. I think this is the Moon Witch's constant luck taking effect."

Miss Moon Witch said softly, and her voice seemed to still retain the joy she felt when Higashino Yu pledged his allegiance to her.

"Haha, you fake, do you think that you can make Lord Ayu lean towards you by saying some flattering words?"

Sanae looked back at the woman sitting behind her and gritted her teeth, "He's not here. Lord Ayu has wisdom that ordinary people can hardly imagine. He can distinguish between lies and truth. No matter how many nice things you say, it's useless!"

What do you mean by flattery? Isn't what Miss Moon Witch said true?
Higashino Yu was dissatisfied, Miss Moon Witch +1 point, Sanae -1 point!
Miss Moon Witch was about to refute Sanae, but she heard Higashino Yu say, "Second question."

"When you and Master Dongye first investigated the Kingdom of Darkness, who did you save?"

"Mrs. Sakurada Wakako." X2
The two answered in unison again.

"My, Master Dongye's cell phone number is——"

"It was given to me by His Highness." X2
"July 7th, you——"

"Your Highness grants him the honor of tasting the handmade macarons of the Moon Witch." X2
"What was Master Dongye's experience in Taoxiang? Please note that each person should give a little detail, and speak separately. Do not answer at the same time."

"July 12th—"

"July 13th——"

"July."

"August."

"Jade Dragon Flag——"

Higashino Yu asked her about all the details of his time with her this semester, and even asked them not to answer at the same time, but to answer one question each. But no matter how he asked, the answers he got were completely correct.

Dong Ye Yu fell silent. He no longer held out hope of distinguishing the two people, but he still asked one last question.

"The person closest to Master Dong Ye is——"

"Your Highness!" Sanae said without hesitation.

Miss Moon Witch said somewhat disappointedly: "Is it Miss Miko?"

"Heh." Sanae was shocked in her heart, but she remained calm on the surface and raised her head slightly, "Sir Ayu, you should know who is the fake one now, right?"
