I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 35 is too feudal. Can we try some advanced capitalism?
The School of Medicine is an exception. The School of Medicine at the University of Tokyo is a dragon among dragons. Even if you work as a tutor, the hourly wage is five times that of other majors in the same school.

However, the thought of resigning only lasted for a moment.

People probably paid such a high price because of Mr. Miyazaki. The stranger could make a lot of money on his own and reap both Fukuzawa Yukichi and the favor.

But it is not a good idea to use this opportunity to climb up the ladder when it comes to acquaintances who have done you a favor.

Higashino Yu thought for a moment and lowered the price: "According to the normal tutoring price, 2,000 yen per hour. Mr. Iori has already helped me a lot."

Iori Tadamichi looked at him with some surprise. Masahiro had said in the letter that this kid loved money the most.

It is indeed good to observe etiquette, know when to advance and retreat, and be aware of the overall situation. Iori Tadamichi felt more relieved and patted Higashino Yu on the shoulder: "Then it is settled."

After seeing off Iori and his grandson, Higashino Yu returned home with a heavy heart.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw Xiuji sitting in front of the TV in a daze.

Dong Yeyu walked over and saw that it was a late-night comedy show. He asked curiously, "Why aren't you watching the Taiga drama today?"

Xiuji turned his head, sniffed, and fell to the ground sadly: "My lord, Xiuji missed the broadcast of the Gongming Taiko Chuan."

"Last night, Kikuchiyo was about to attack the city first. The eunuchs calculated that the battle of Luwei Castle would definitely be decided tonight, so they wanted to beat the drums to cheer for her tonight. As a result, they missed the broadcast time and don't know whether Kikuchiyo is alive or dead."

Kikuchiyo is not a woman, but the protagonist of the Komei Taikoden.

He was actually a nameless farmer. After picking up the family scroll and sword of a dead samurai on the battlefield, he claimed to be a samurai with a family tree and took the last name on the scroll as his own name.

However, the owner of that name is only ten years old in the timeline of the play and is still using a nickname.

The name Chiyo was mostly used as a nickname in ancient times in the island country, similar to Ergou and Xiaozhu in Shenzhou.

Kikuchiyo was just an uneducated farmer and naturally didn't know these details, so she made a lot of jokes.

At the beginning of the play, he was discovered and ridiculed by many ronin warriors, and was almost hacked to death by some warriors who felt insulted.

"Don't worry, he's the protagonist, he won't die."

Dong Yeyu comforted him, but seeing Xiuji still sighing, he felt funny in his heart. He was an old man in his forties, but he was like a child.

She walked over, opened the shopping bag, and poured some of the millet, buckwheat and other grains inside into Xiuji's special porcelain bowl.

When Xiuji heard the tinkling sound of grains falling into the porcelain bowl, she was no longer sad, and her feathery throat moved visibly.

"Lord!"

This was the first time it received a special reward from Dong Yeyu - in the past it was just leftovers.

Unlike his previous noisy and funny appearance, he now stood upright and waited quietly, with his head slightly lowered, showing a sense of ritual.

If the ruler regards his subjects as his own hands and feet, then the subjects will regard the ruler as their own confidant, and vice versa.

Although the current headquarters of the Higashino Shogunate is just a 20-square-meter rental house and there are only two monsters in the shogunate, Xiuji attaches great importance to this so-called shogunate that is not even a makeshift team and is like a house-playing family.

It seems to be stubbornly determined to have a monarch-subject relationship with itself.

This is really too feudal. Can we try some advanced capitalism?
Isn’t it good for me to be the boss and you to be an employee?
Higashino Yu often complained about it in his heart, but even though he felt it was a bit weird and childish, he couldn't bear to hurt it with an indifferent or funny attitude.

This is the difference between long-lived monsters and short-lived humans. People can accept change very quickly, even the separation of life and death. Most people can accept it very well.

It is even possible to transform from the feudal era to capitalism and then to a more advanced social structure in just a hundred years.

Monsters are different. Once they accept a person, a thing, or a culture, it is difficult to change them.

Monsters cannot accept changes that are too rapid; their perception of time is different from that of humans.

Sometimes a hundred years pass in a flash, things have changed, people have changed, high-rise buildings and factories have sprung up, but they seem to have not changed at all, still happily practicing and running around in the mountains and forests, like residents of the Peach Blossom Spring.

If an old friend visits them decades ago, they will treat you the same way they did when they first met you - of course, this refers especially to those kind-hearted monsters.

This is also the reason why it is said that monsters and humans cannot have a relationship. Most humans are like bright meteors, streaking across the night sky, shining brightly but disappearing in a flash.

After the glory, only the monsters were left, sad in the darkness, wandering in familiar places again and again.

They treasure up the beautiful memories of their time with friends, ruminating on them countless times, waiting for their friends who will never return, until the end of their long lives.

Monsters with good luck can reunite with humans, but the endings are basically the same.

If humans have countless treasures, then monsters have only one treasure, which is memory.

But memories are ultimately things that have already happened, just like looking at an old yellowed photo, which only adds to the loneliness.

Xiuji accepted the culture of the island country's Warring States period from the Taiga drama, and stubbornly followed it, stubbornly regarded himself as a samurai, and regarded himself as the lord.

As a monster, it probably won't change until it dies. This is Xiuji's awareness and persistence.

When Dong Yeyu thought of this, he felt that he had previously treated it as just an insignificant little follower, and that he might have been a little too disrespectful to it.

At least for me now, Xiuji is a reliable assistant.

So he became more serious, sat on the floor, and pushed the small porcelain bowl of grain in front of him with both hands.

"Xiuji, this is a reward for you, please accept it."

"Kichizaemon, I will repay my lord's kindness with my own death."

Xiuji bowed his head very solemnly, but when he raised his head, his expression changed and he lowered his head happily. His bird-like head was like the bolt of a submachine gun that was firing. He did not have the slightest demeanor of a samurai. The serious and solemn atmosphere suddenly disappeared.

Damn warrior, I was actually moved by it just now, I have something wrong with me.

Dong Ye Yu smiled and shook his head. He ignored it and walked to the small square table, took out the textbook and exercises to start studying for today.

I came back late today, and I have to finish my homework quickly, otherwise I will delay my practice. As a monster, no matter what I forget, I must not forget to practice, which is the foundation of my life!
Shingo Tamura squatted on the street, a cigarette in his mouth, looking down at the apartment building not far away while talking on the phone.

"President, it's confirmed. This kid lives in Ayase Town. I'll send you the address first."

The person on the phone smiled.

"You've done a good job. Since the employer hasn't given any clear instructions yet, you should stay there and monitor him to see who he associates with and if he has any familiar faces. You can come back and ask the finance department to reimburse you for accommodation and meals."
