I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 52: More and More Kindness
I was discovered less than five minutes after I got home?
No, Yuko is unable to move, which means that at least ten minutes ago, the fox named Haruhara told Yuko that it was coming back.

This. This is not right.

I am just an ordinary wild fox that cultivates immortality. Apart from being handsome and strong, there is nothing special about me.

Iron crush?
Are all the gods of the island nation so idle?

Dong Yeyu complained in his heart, his eyes fell on the stone fox statue in the small shrine on the side of the road.

There are a few cherry blossoms picked by someone on the shrine. There are some water droplets on the pink flowers, which are crystal clear in the sunlight. A fox statue squats in the shadow under the shrine, and the cold marble surface has a delicate jade color.

There was a small wooden tray in front of the shrine, which reminded Dong Yeyu of an interesting statement he saw on the Internet in his previous life.

It is said that the small wooden tray used for food in this island country is originally a heel of ancient China.

Before the Song Dynasty, people in China still sat on their knees. However, because kneeling put pressure on the legs and was really uncomfortable, they invented the heel support.

It is used to cushion under the buttocks to relieve the pressure on the legs and prevent bow legs from forming when kneeling.

When the islanders copied the answers, they didn't copy them all, and didn't know how to use the heel support. They used it as a utensil for holding food, and they really knelt down when they sat on their knees. As a result, for more than a thousand years afterwards, most of the islanders had bow legs.

It's hard to say whether it's true or not, but it's quite interesting.

There was a plate of tempura on the wooden tray. Dongye Yu smelled it and confirmed that it was fried salmon. It was probably put there by the boss who was drinking alone.

The fox messenger is also called Gozen Inari as the messenger of the god Inari, and is worshipped as a god for praying for business prosperity (good luck and prosperity).

Generally, where there is such a small shrine, surrounding shops and pubs will offer offerings.

Dong Ye Yu hesitated for a moment and bowed slightly as a greeting.

The reason why he performed this awkward ceremony was mainly because Dongye Yu was really confused about whether he should use Taoist gestures or Buddhist gestures if he were to worship God.
Most of the gods in the island country are imported, and because Buddhism has been popular for a long time, the gesture of worshiping gods is basically joining the hands together.

After thinking about it, I decided to follow the local customs and use the Ziwu Jue to worship Taoist gods and the Hezhang to worship Buddha.

Seeing this, Iori Miko also supported her crutches under her armpits, clasped her hands together facing the small shrine, and closed her eyes.

After a moment, the girl seemed to hear something and whispered something towards the shrine.

"Haruhara, you don't really like fried salmon? I don't like it either. I like tempura fried shrimp. Grandma's is better than Uncle Shinoda Saburo's, but Grandpa just likes to go there to drink. Miko doesn't like alcohol."

Dong Ye Yu did not see Chun Yuan, but he felt a majestic power descending into the small shrine, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

No wonder Iori Tadamichi said that Miko was not in danger in the town. This is really outrageous.

Generally speaking, gods will not communicate directly with mortals. Even the chief priests of palaces have to guess the gods' intentions through some fortune sticks and divinations.

She is truly a girl loved by the gods, Dong Yeyu sighed in his heart.

At this time, four junior high school boys came running over to the side of the road, laughing. They were short and small, like monkeys. They were probably just entering junior high school and looked no different from elementary school students.

Holding a baseball and a glove in his hands, he seemed to be going to an open space not far away to play baseball.

When they saw Iori Miko here, they showed the look of a child seeing a cute cat or dog on their faces, and they slowed down their pace as if they were about to come over.

However, when they saw Higashino Yu standing next to them, they felt that he seemed to be someone Iori Miko knew. They looked at his figure, swallowed their saliva, and stopped at the same time.

Keeping a distance that didn't seem like they would be caught, they whispered to each other, "She's saying these incomprehensible things again."

"What kind of monster? It's just a trick to attract everyone's attention, Iori family's charlatan."

"How shameless! Tell me, can she really not hear you?"

One of the boys with spiky hair looked at Iori Miko and hesitated for a while. Everyone around them said the same thing, so he laughed and raised his voice a little.

"It seems like he can't hear. I guess Iori is not only lame, but also deaf."

"Genius! Bunta, I remembered my grandfather said that God would punish liars. If there are gods, the Iori family must have been punished by God." "Hey, it's almost time. I heard that the last time Shinji and his friends bullied Iori, they were unlucky for a month. It's pretty weird."

"What a coincidence, you really believe it."

They kept their distance and walked around Dong Ye Yu while muttering to each other, until they walked about ten steps away, then turned around and made faces.

"Iori the liar, Iori the charlatan."

Iori Miko seemed not to hear what they said. She just kept talking to herself in a low voice, happily chatting with the person she called Haruhara.

These little brats were probably dogs in their previous life. They ate shit all their lives and never cleaned their mouths in their next life.

Dong Yeyu frowned.
This was when I was present at the scene, not when I was away and before I met Miko.

What will they say and do?
Thinking of this, the anger in my heart suddenly rose up.

"The groove is really a private placement."

Dong Yeyu cursed and rushed towards the boys.

"Haha, you big fool is chasing me!"

When the boys saw Dong Ye Yu running towards them, they immediately patted their butts and ran away laughing.

They love sports, rank among the top in school short-distance running competitions, and are experts at teasing frail adults who are exploited by society.

As long as I keep my distance, these idiots will never be able to catch up with me!

Ishida Bunta felt stable, and his legs moved as fast as the wind. He looked back with a giggle, and the smile froze on his face.

He was shocked to find that the distance between him and that person was closing rapidly, and that person was as fast as a gust of wind.

Before he could think of what to do, a big hand grabbed his collar and forced him to stop.

Tear!

There was a sound of cloth tearing at the collar, and the neck was suddenly strangled. Ishida Bunta rolled his eyes and almost fainted.

After Dong Ye Yu caught one, he held him under his hands and caught another one without slowing down. The little kid who was running in front screamed, stepped on a banana peel and fell flat on his face.

He was wearing shorts, and the skin on his knees was probably rubbed off. He lay on the ground for a few seconds, holding his knees and crying heartbreakingly.

The last one saw that he had caught three people and was still running fast, so he ran into a dead end in a panic, with his back against the wall, like Jerry who was trapped in a desperate situation, gasping for breath and looking terrified.

"You, what are you going to do?"

"My father is the chief inspector of the Adachi Ward Police Station, you——"

Adachi Ward Patrol Chief?

Isn’t that just a position that ordinary policemen get by slacking off?
Coincidentally, my buddy knows a lady who is the deputy section chief of the Criminal Division of the Adachi Ward Police Station.

Even if the young lady didn't help him, there was still Mr. Iori Tadamichi. As the chief priest of the local Inari Shrine, his power was not something that a grassroots inspector who was just doing his job could challenge.

This time, the favors are getting more and more.

Snapped!
"Why don't you tell me about your mother's occupation?"

Dong Yeyu grinned and slapped him, and the boy's stubborn eyes suddenly became clear.
