I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 385: Miko's Prayer

Shuten-doji didn't seem to be emotional when he heard this. He just sighed softly and said, "I thought you were quite smart, but now it seems that you are just an ignorant and arrogant fool."

His voice gradually became grand and far-reaching, like a god whispering in the temple infinitely high, and at the same time his whole body slowly floated up.

Afterwards, auspicious clouds emerged from the spiritual palace of Dajiang Mountain, dispelling the numerous turbid demonic clouds, and appeared like a canopy on both sides of the young god. At that time, divine light was brilliant, and immortal music was looming. It was still a demon realm just a moment ago, but now it was like the kingdom of God.

This fox demon is courting death.

Ibaraki Douji glanced at Higashino Yu with some surprise, not understanding why a monster like him would go against his own lord. Isn't it better to be alive?
But he didn't think much about it. After all, it was just a fox demon who had not attained enlightenment. It had just dared to be rude to him. So he might as well die.

The matter here was over, but as Shuten-douji's relied-upon deputy, she still had a lot to do. A hint of contemplation appeared on her charming and cute face, and her petite body turned around and walked away.

The Star Bear Boy just shook his head, clasped his hands together and whispered something.

The two demons led many other demons to retreat, and only Higashino Yu and Shuten-doji were left outside the majestic torii of Mt. Oe.

Shuten-doji was hanging on the torii gate, looking down at Higashino Yu, his starry eyes gleaming with dazzling golden light, and he looked extremely majestic.

This aura belonging to an earthly immortal made Dong Ye Yu look solemn. Even though he had the three swords of Pure Yang Zhenren in his hands, he still felt a sense of powerlessness as a mortal facing the vast ocean.

"Now there is a demon fox called Yuyue: it brings chaos to China, confuses the principles of yin and yang, slaughters ordinary creatures, cuts off incense and offerings, blasphemes my divine power, and kills my divine messengers; it destroys my divine domain and commits a crime against me."

Shuten-doji's voice was originally like the morning sun penetrating the mist, bright but not dazzling, with a full sense of youthfulness. But now it seemed majestic and cold, without a trace of emotion, only pure divine pressure.

"This crime is unforgivable,"

"Be punished!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a deep thunder in the sky above the spiritual palace of Dajiang Mountain, which was covered with auspicious clouds, as if all things in the world were denouncing Dong Ye Yu's crimes.

Afterwards, Shuten-doji waved his sleeves towards Higashino Yu, and the golden flame-like patterns rising from the divine robe came alive and transformed into a giant unicorn beast made of clear divine fire.

The Qilin's body was as big as a small mountain, dozens of feet high, its hair, beard and expression were extremely realistic, divine fire was burning under its hooves, its entire body was like clear glass, and its aura was strong enough to reach the Yang God. However, this legendary auspicious beast had extremely ferocious eyes.

As soon as it appeared, it galloped and spun in the air, and some demons that were unable to dodge were swallowed by its open mouth, and their screams stopped abruptly as soon as they sounded.

The Qilin swept across heaven and earth, and when all the monsters retreated in fear to Mt. Oe, it then cast its ferocious gaze towards Higashino Yu who was standing outside the torii.

Seeing that the fox demon dared to look him in the face and refused to back down, Qilin seemed offended and roared angrily.

“Roar—boom—”

The sound was like thunder and also like the sound of a Huang Zhong or a Da Lu. Then, its four hooves moved, and its divine flame blazed brightly. It rushed down from the sky with auspicious clouds, wanting to swallow Dong Ye Yu and refine him.

Iori's study room,
"The phone still doesn't work."

Asu saw Sanae kneeling by the window, frowning uneasily, and looking frequently towards the sky in the direction of Chiba.

Unlike the clear sky in Tokyo, the sky in Chiba was overcast. The news only said that it was a rare local thunderstorm, but she knew that something terrible was happening there.

The person she cherished was in extreme danger. She had called Asumi Goro before, but unlike the responses she had received every time she asked for help, this time Asumi Goro just sighed and said he could do nothing about it.

".Sanae, what Tono-kun is facing is not something that secular forces can handle. All you can do is trust him, take care of yourself, and not cause more trouble."

Unlike the uneasy Asumi Sanae, Miko seemed very calm. She was sitting at the desk with her head lowered, as if she was dozing off. But if you sensed carefully, you would find that her breathing was faintly in harmony with the fluctuations of the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

She is seizing every opportunity to practice.

At this moment, several flashes of lightning flashed in the direction of Qianye, and a dull and depressing thunder came a few seconds later.
boom!
Miko, who was immersed in her practice, was suddenly awakened. She frowned in confusion, glanced in the direction of Chiba, and subconsciously pursed her cherry-colored thin lips.

Haven't come back yet?

She glanced at Asumi Sanae who was sitting by the window, silently withdrew her gaze, closed her eyes again and wanted to continue practicing.

But this time, no matter how many times I recited the Pure Tranquility Sutra, I could not enter into a state of meditation and forgetfulness again.

Yuzi just felt upset, as if she was about to lose something.

She sat at the desk and thought for a moment, then silently stood up and left the study and went to the shrine's worship hall.

At this time, the sun was shining brightly in the shrine, and groups of tourists were visiting and worshipping in the shrine. Apprentice shrine maidens were selling mass-produced amulets to tourists with honest and simple smiles. The sound of birdsong could be faintly heard from the guardian forest, and the breeze swayed the maple trees, making a rustling sound. The bright sunlight fell on the ancient trees beside the worship hall, casting spots of mottled light and shadow.

Miko's eyes fell on the Komainu and she called out softly.

"Spring Plain."

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene between heaven and earth seemed to blur for a moment, and then a shrine maiden wearing a white robe and red hakama with a painted fox mask on her face appeared next to the Komainu stone sculpture.

"My duty is to protect you." She seemed to know what Yu Zi was going to say and said it in advance.

Yu Zi looked confused for a moment, not quite understanding what she said, but Chun Yuan seemed quite dignified at this moment, completely different from her usual gentle appearance as the sister next door.

She felt inexplicably guilty and lowered her head with her lips pursed.

But then he thought that Dongye Yu might be in danger, and Chunyuan was the only person he knew who could help him.

So Yu Zi pursed her lips again, her face flushed slightly as she whispered, "Chun Yuan, please help him."

Chunyuan looked down at Yuzi and didn't answer, but he didn't leave either.

Yu Zi's clear eyes met Chun Yuan's for a moment. He wanted to say something else, but suddenly he thought, what if Chun Yuan couldn't defeat the monster?
If that's the case, then asking her to save Tono Nissan is just asking her to die, isn't it?
Miko suddenly felt very guilty, so she lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, I made an excessive request."

Chun Yuan stared at Yu Zi steadily, as if he remembered something. His eyes flashed under the mask and he sighed.

"There's really nothing I can do about you."

After saying this, the witch disappeared like smoke and turned into a visible wind, which circled around Miko, ruffling the girl's fluffy, slightly curly brown-red hair, picked up a few fallen red maple leaves, and went towards Chiba.
