I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 44 Sakurada Wakako

This place. Dong Ye Yu looked at the house in front of him, a little surprised.

Although I have never learned techniques such as observing qi and using the Dharma Eye, I am unable to break through the delusion and observe the spiritual energy veins of the earth intuitively.

However, people who practice cultivation have a very keen sense of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and can vaguely sense its direction without the need for a Dharma Eye.

The location of the house in front of us is somewhat special. It seems to be located on a key node of the spiritual energy vein in Tokyo. The surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth will spontaneously gather here, making it a small blessed land.

Of course, it is definitely inferior to the blessed lands passed down from generation to generation by the demon hunter families, but no one would complain that they have too many blessed lands.

Moreover, there is not much spiritual energy nowadays. No matter whether it is a demon hunter or a monster, they should not miss such a treasure land for cultivation.

The house in front of us has existed for at least a few decades. It looks like an ordinary residence and does not look like it is inhabited by wealthy demon exorcists.

Could it be that it has not been discovered by the demon exorcists?
It was a bit too bizarre, as if lighting an oil lamp in the dark summer night when there were countless mosquitoes and moths, but not a single moth noticed the lamp.

Biology no longer exists?
Higashino Yu was very confused until Mingri Sanae pulled his sleeve and asked, "Did you find anything?"

"No, my Lord, I was just a little distracted."

He said, coming back to his senses.

No matter how strange it is, wouldn't it be clear if we just ask the owner of the house?
Dong Yeyu walked forward and wanted to take a look at the nameplate hanging on the wall near the door.

But the nameplate seemed to have been taken down at some point, so he had to stand outside the gate and shout.

"Excuse me, is this Miss Wakako's house?"

The old woman who was wiping the cat's body stopped what she was doing and turned around.

This was an old lady who looked to be around sixty or seventy years old. Her hair, most of which had turned silver white, was tied into a bun and simply pinned with a wooden hairpin.

Her skin and facial features had become deformed and loose to varying degrees due to aging. She was a little thin, but her bone structure was very good and her behavior was quite elegant. She didn't look like a country woman.

Even when she is old, she still gives people a sense of elegance, and it can be seen that she might have been a beauty when she was young.

She and the cat were staying in the shade of the house, and their expressions were surprised when they heard "Miss Wakako".

He looked at Dong Yeyu's face with a kind gaze for a moment, wiped his foamy hands on the towel, smoothed the white hair that fell by his ears, and smiled.

"I'm Wakako, Sakurada Wakako. But I'm not a young lady, just an old lady. May I ask what you want from me?"

"You are too modest. A person's beauty should never be based solely on appearance. How can a person live forever? Moreover, Mrs. Sakurada has an outstanding temperament. She is highly respected when she is old, and she must have been a beauty when she was young."

"When I was young." Sakurada Wakako smiled with a look of reminiscence on her face, then she sighed, said nothing, and just shook her head helplessly.

"It's a pity that time is like morning dew, it will never come back after it leaves, and I am already old and decayed."

When she said this, she came to her senses and said apologetically, "Haha, when people get old, they like to reminisce about the past. I hope you don't mind."

Cultured person?
Dong Ye Yu was polite and then changed the subject, first introducing himself and the two people around him as before.

Looking at Asumi Sanae, he asked quietly, "Are you still asking like before?"

Asuhi saw Sanae standing on tiptoe to look inside the wall and nodded with a "hmm".

Higashino Yu then asked Sakurada Wakako: "Mrs. Sakurada, we are here to look for the monster named Nekomata. Mr. Morishita said that you might know some clues?"

"Genji asked you to come?" Sakurada Wakako was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile: "I haven't seen him for a long time, is he okay?" Imagawa Kashiwagi pointed to the alley behind him that was gradually illuminated by the sun: "We just saw the old man feeding the cats over there, he is in good health."

"In good health? That's good. Genji, he sometimes has trouble telling time. I just said it casually, but I didn't expect him to really remember it."

She stood up and looked towards the alley with a complicated expression.

After looking at him for a few seconds, she turned her gaze to Dong Yeyu, her eyes were deep, but her tone was very relaxed and she asked with a smile: "You young people today still believe in the existence of demons?"

Uh, I am the demon, you tell me whether I believe it or not. Dong Yeyu frowned and nodded seriously: "Our club was established to prove the existence of demons."

"I don't know if that's Nekomata, but if you mean that kid, Higashino-kun, I might know something. The door is not locked, come in and sit down. I have to clean up."

She wiped the sweat from her forehead and invited him as she scooped out water from the large basin and poured it into the sewer.

"That's annoying."

The three of them entered the yard. Imagawa Kashiwagi squatted down to observe the flowers and plants in the yard, while Asumi Sanae walked around the yard and observed. Her eyes finally fell on the kittens licking their fur in the shade.

"Let me help you."

Dong Yeyu saw the old lady pouring water slowly, and he didn't know how long it took.

I was so anxious that I just rolled up my sleeves, walked over, grabbed a large basin and poured it directly into the sewer.

Sakurada Wakako couldn't persuade him, so she could only stand aside and wipe her sweat with the towel hanging around her neck, smiling helplessly: "Thank you for your help, Higashino-kun."

"I really envy the elders in Higashino-kun's family. Their children and grandchildren are tall and handsome, and they are also students of Tachibana High School. They are really blessed. Higashino-kun must also work hard to help the elders at home, right?"

I am really ashamed that I was kicked out of the house when I was only three months old, so I have never helped the elders at home with housework.

But does it count as helping the orphanage director take care of the children?

Dong Yeyu put the large basin upright, took the towel handed to him by the old man, wiped his hands, smiled and nodded: "I guess so."

Sakurada Wakako nodded with a smile, picked up the shower gel and towel, pushed open the glass door with flowers printed on it, and greeted them.

"Higashino-kun, Imagawa-kun, Asumi-chan, please come in and take a seat. I'm going to make some tea. The snacks I bought at Harukaya seem to be unopened yet."

Imagawa Kashiwagi responded, took off his shoes at the edge of the room, and followed him into the Japanese-style room.

Higashino Yu wanted to follow him in, but saw Asumi Sanae still squatting in the sun watching the cat.

Then he walked over.

It is said that some cats prefer women and are afraid of men, perhaps because men are more threatening?
The cats in front of you are like these. When they saw Dong Yeyu coming, they all rolled and crawled into the bushes in the yard, and their bodies, which had just been washed, were probably dirty again.

If I were Mrs. Sakurada, my blood pressure would have been through the roof.

Higashino Yu ignored the cat and gently patted Asumi Sanae's shoulder: "We should go into Mrs. Sakurada's living room to ask about the Nekomata, my highness."

Asuhi saw Sanae come back to her senses, and her sapphire-like clear eyes stared at the cat in the bushes: "Did you see that just now?"

"what?"

"They seem a little strange."
