I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 318: There is such a setting?
"Having a tea party at home?"

Sanae thought for two seconds, and then she seemed to realize something. She looked at her sister with her eyes, a little wary: "Sister, you are not going to use my body again, are you?"

"Why say again?" Liuli blinked, looking innocent.

"You know why." Sanae didn't buy it. She looked alert and snorted. She has been like this since she was a child and nothing has changed until now.

But she was not really angry, just a little helpless. She felt more kind in her heart, and her inexplicable uneasiness disappeared a little.

Liuli chuckled and moved closer to her sister, pressing close to the girl, feeling each other's body temperature.

Higashino Yu listened to the two sisters' whispers and couldn't help but smile. It is human nature to like to see beautiful things, and she also understands Liuli's behavior. She is trying her best to narrow the distance between her and Sanae.

After all, although we were not very old when we separated, it has been five or six years now, and the sense of estrangement brought by time will not disappear in a short time.

Plus, Sanae herself has some emotional issues that have yet to be resolved, and if her sister's behavior changes too much, it might scare her or make her feel bad.

Of course, this is most likely not something Liuli was pretending to be doing.

She was awake and asleep in Sanae's body for several years. Until recently, after practicing and building a foundation, Sanae's essence fed back to her soul and she also benefited from it. Later, she took the initiative to practice and got better.

But in terms of mental intelligence, there has not been much growth, and it still remains at the age of ten.

Strictly speaking, Liuli is actually an elementary school student who looks like a high school student?
It's just that because she is a rich girl, received a strict elite education, and is mentally precocious, she looks no different from a high school student.

reasonable.

Higashino Yu thought to himself, and at the same time he was a little confused. Logically, Liuli's appearance should have been frozen at the moment of her death, so how come she grew up with Sanae?
Is it because of this ancient battlefield?
I don’t know what Liuli will look like after she goes out.

At this moment, Arima Norimune and others came down from the castle tower. At the door of the tower, they found that the white fox was staring at them and they were suddenly a little scared.

The other newly found people were even more nervous and didn't dare to move forward. Although Ma Zezong and the others mentioned it briefly on the way, they had no time to prepare themselves mentally in such a short time.

It’s like the high-energy warning in a horror game video. Even if you are told in advance that there is high energy ahead, you will still be scared when the high energy really appears.

However, there was a young woman among them who was relatively calm. She stood in front of several students as if she wanted to block the white fox's sight for them, while observing the white fox not far away.

The white fox did not have a ferocious face like the monsters in the legend. Instead, it looked calm and steady. There was not a hint of madness in its narrow fox eyes. Instead, it was observing this side like a human. It was intelligent, Kitagawa Maaya made a preliminary judgment in her heart.

The appearance of the white fox made Kitagawa Maaya even less alert.

Its hair was whiter than the cleanest clouds, dense and long. There was no wind at this time, but it was slowly fluttering, like waves or smoke, very similar to the heavenly clothes of the gods in legends. The tips of its hair shone in the sun like flowing gold, and its two big tails were fluffy like white clouds. Its posture was heroic and majestic, with a strong sense of power.

If it weren't so big, it might be a very beautiful and cute creature.

Eh? Is that Asumi from Class A? Why is she on the back of a white fox?
Kitagawa Maaya noticed the girl peeking out from the back of the white fox and felt confused at first, but then she remembered that the white fox was Higashino Yu's shikigami, and there were rumors in the school that Higashino and Asumi were a couple. This was not surprising.

However, when his girlfriend arrived in this strange place, Higashino did not come to rescue her personally, but only sent a Shikigami to come and said that he would protect everyone's bodies in the inn. The problem is, can Shikigami also protect the body?

Some of them are irresponsible.

Most handsome boys have this problem, and it has nothing to do with me.

She shook her head, threw all these nonsense out of her mind, suppressed the anxiety and panic in her heart, and asked the white fox: "Excuse me--"

Higashino Yu looked at her and found that she was the head teacher of the next class, Kitagawa Maya.

The teacher was very short, only about 1.5 meters tall, with short hair, delicate facial features and a baby face. However, his eyes were serious, and he showed the dignity of a teacher.

She is a new teacher. She has been covering for our class teacher, Mr. Oura, when he/she is occasionally unwell. However, she has not been covering for long, so I cannot tell her teaching level. But I just think she is a very responsible, careful and emotionally stable teacher.

It is said that he is very outstanding and graduated from Keio University. After graduation, he taught in other places for two years and was then recruited to Tachibana High School - such young and excellent teachers are in great demand these days.

After all, although many teachers have rich teaching experience and good moral character, they are mostly old and unable to bear the hard work of being a class teacher.

Therefore, as soon as she arrived, she gave Principal Ando a lot of chicken soup, talking about the tradition of our school, the honor of generations of teachers, and even taking into account the future and destiny of the students.

The only thing missing was a white headband with "Qi Sheng Registration" written on it. After giving her some chicken soup, she was sent to be the head teacher of the next class.

Speaking of which, it seems that young teachers will experience this no matter where they are, and class teacher is their final destination.

"Teacher Kitagawa."

Before she could ask, Higashino Yu nodded slightly and greeted Kitagawa Maya.

When the students heard the voice, they swallowed and took a step back tacitly.

Kitagawa Maaya was a little surprised: "Do you know me?"

Then, she suddenly realized something and opened her eyes wide: "You can speak?!"

"Don't be surprised. This is nothing new. I am a great monster. Even a three-year-old child can speak, let alone me? If I say I know you, I don't really know you. It's just that I met you once before, and Lord Dongye occasionally mentioned you, so I have some understanding of you."

Higashino Yu didn't explain much, just said a few words casually.

When she heard him talk about Higashino Yu, Kitagawa Maya immediately thought of the tall, handsome and jaw-droppingly outstanding boy, and she looked stunned and confused.

Are there really monsters and monster exorcists in the world?

“Are these the only people you found?”

Higashino Yu ignored Mr. Kitagawa who was in the process of reshaping his worldview and glanced at the other people.

Except for this teacher, I didn’t know the other students. But after all, they were studying in the same teaching building. Although they didn’t know each other, it was inevitable that they would meet each other a few times.

"Well, we've searched the castle tower, and this is all we have."

Arima Zemune said with a trembling voice. He had not felt such momentum just now when he was upstairs, but now when he came downstairs and stood not far from the white fox, he felt his legs weak and his body out of control.

Dong Yeyu noticed that everyone was acting strangely and was somewhat helpless. He had already completely suppressed the pressure brought by his cultivation. However, since it was the soul that entered here, their appearance could not be changed, so it was reasonable for them to be scared.

After all, let alone a white fox as big as a truck, even if one encounters a normal-sized tiger, most people would be frightened for several seconds by the fear inherent in their genes.

"Then let's go. Please follow me. This is an ancient battlefield with over ten thousand bones buried and countless evil spirits. If you get lost here, the consequences will be very serious."

Dong Yeyu warned them first, lest some students do something stupid like the passers-by in horror movies.

Then he added, "Some people have already gathered spontaneously in the castle town. After meeting them, we should leave the city as soon as possible. Otherwise, the evil spirit will wake up and everyone will die here."

At this time, a pale female student asked cautiously: "Is it safe outside the city?"

Dong Yeyu was silent for a few seconds and shook his head: "I don't know, I only know that there is a god here who is suppressing the evil spirits. If you can find the god, you will have a chance to survive. I didn't feel the breath of the god in the city, so it must be outside the city."

After saying that, he turned around and jumped onto the bronze sentry tower, and with another jump, he disappeared from everyone's sight.

Just when the students and teachers were in a daze, the white fox's urging voice came from the mountain road outside the sentry tower: "Don't just stand there, run!"

The students did not move, but looked at the only teacher present.

"If all this is true, then this place is indeed very dangerous. Let's follow him first."

Kitagawa Maaya said, and seeing that some students were still worried and hesitant, she said seriously: "Students, we have no other choice."

"Teacher Beichuan is right. If you don't catch up, Ah Yu will run away."

Arima Zemune took the lead and ran after them, his armor jingling loudly - he liked this set of armor so much that he didn't want to take it off.

Compared to these classmates and teachers, he is closer to and trusts Baihu more. After all, he is the Shikigami of his good brother, although he cannot tell whether it is real or fake for the time being.

But in the current situation, we can only take one step at a time. Among gods, ghosts, demons and monsters, mortals without cultivation are like fish on a chopping board, with almost no room for choice. It all depends on fate.

"Teacher Beichuan, we are leaving first."

Imagawa Kashiwagi, Shimada Satoshi and several other boys and girls in the same class as Higashino Yu said hello and followed Arima Norimune.

After they calmed down and thought for a moment, they began to trust the white fox.

At present, there is a lot of evidence to prove that Baihu and Dongye do have a close relationship, and the speculation that Baihu is deceiving and has malicious intent is a false inference without evidence. It is easy to make a judgment.

Of course, we can't completely let our guard down.

Seeing that there was a leader, the other students seemed to have made up their minds and followed. Kitagawa Maaya was the last one. She looked back at the simple castle tower behind her and felt that something extremely terrifying was slowly emerging.

When they ran out of the copper sentry tower, they found the white fox standing on a small hill not far away waiting, with a graceful posture. The cherry trees around him surrounded him like shrubs. The out-of-season cherry blossoms bloomed all over Fukuchiyama Castle. When the warm wind, which was slightly smoked by the sun, blew, the light pink petals fluttered on the mountain path like snow.

Obviously it was, but considering the current situation, it made everyone feel weird, strange, and even a little chilling.

Seeing everyone coming out, the white fox nodded slightly and leaped down the mountain at an extremely fast speed, almost turning into a white shadow. In just a few breaths, it had reached the castle town at the foot of the mountain.

The group hurried down the mountain. Because Higashino Yu had judged the direction where the crowd would gather in advance, and Fukuchiyama Castle was not that big, they met up with the main force in just a few minutes.

But at the same time, because Dong Ye Yu was a white fox at this time, he scared those people who gathered together to find a way out.

"What a big fox"

"Is it a monster?!"

"Everyone, run!"

"The monster is going to eat people!"

The crowd was restless, and many wanted to flee in panic. Seeing this, Dong Ye Yu suppressed the commotion with a thunderous voice, and flew up. The hair on his body emitted a pure white and clean halo, making him look like a fairy or a god.

"I am a friend of the Inari Haruhara God Messenger, who is under the tutelage of the great goddess Inahohime of the Ayasezaka Inari Shrine. When Inahohime heard that you were in danger, she sent me here to rescue you. You don't have to panic."

His voice seemed to have a strange power, like a mountain pressing down heavily, calming everyone's panicked mood.

Kitagawa Maaya and others who followed behind him looked at each other in bewilderment. Is there such a setting?

People fell silent. Although the current experience was already as strange and bizarre as a ghost story, compared to the Gozen Inari appearing right before their eyes, the latter was more shocking, so most people didn't know what to do for a moment.

At this time, the school leader in the crowd saw teachers and students such as Kitagawa Maaya behind Higashino Yu, and hurriedly called out, "Teacher Kitagawa, come here quickly."

Kitagawa Maaya didn't move, but looked at Higashino Yu first. Seeing him nod, she led the students into the crowd. After a conversation and discussion, the two sides finally calmed everyone down.

"What Mr. Kitagawa said makes sense. Why don't we follow this Gozen Inari to find the god here for the time being?"

"There's no other way. This is the only way."

"Do you really believe it? What if it's a lie told by a demon to trick you into eating it?"

"But this place is really weird. The locals look scary and creepy. I would rather follow this unknown Gozen Inari."

"Fake? How can it be fake? This is the real god, exactly like the legendary Gozen Inari. It is the god who has come to save us!"

There were whispers in the crowd, some people firmly believed that Higashino Yu was Gozen Inari, while some did not believe it and were suspicious. Seeing that most people were willing to follow this so-called Gozen Inari who suddenly appeared, they left with their wives and children together with some people who also did not trust Higashino Yu.

Dong Ye Yu noticed those people leaving quietly, sighed in his heart, but did not stop them.

First, I don’t have time to argue with them right now. In this situation, the more you explain, the less they will believe you.

Secondly, I am not an old lady. I have done so much and have done my best. If I still go to seek death, it means that I am destined to die here. I can only respect the fate of others.
