I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 7 Who are you calling a liar? Who are you calling a liar!
Dong Yeyu swore and seemed a little agitated, like a person who was not trusted and was eager to prove himself.

The Moon Witch looked at his face like a judge in a court of justice, but found no flaws, so she continued to ask.

"What about its coat color and appearance?"

"Tortoiseshell color, half of an ear is missing, it has two tails, and there is a diagonal white mark on its chest."

Higashino Yu said affirmatively that the details were very detailed.

Seeing that there was a breakthrough in the Nekomata incident that had been under investigation for a long time, the Moon Witch's ice-blue eyes became brighter and brighter, and she quickly recorded the information that Higashino Yu said.

Although he usually speaks in a somewhat immature way, when recording the investigation, he uses very clear and concise sentences to ask and record, and he seems very serious.

Higashino Yu thinks that she is not only a chuunibyou, but also a monster lover.

After the Moon Witch finished writing, she closed the notebook where she had recorded the information and asked one last question.

"Why didn't it eat you?"

Dong Yeyu immediately showed a rather fortunate expression: "Buddha bless me, because I run faster than the other person."

Moon Witch: "."

At this moment, two cars suddenly appeared from the corner of the street not far away, a Toyota Century and a Toyota Highlander.

Several sturdy men in black suits got off the Highlander. They were agile, walked with a brisk pace, had a great aura, and were always alert.

He looks much more powerful than ordinary people, probably a bodyguard or something.

However, the bodyguard in the lead was a woman with a katana hanging around her waist, short hair, delicate features, and sharp eyes. She seemed quite wary of Dongye Yu.

After a moment, the female bodyguard shifted her gaze, bowed slightly to the Moon Witch, and said, "Miss, it's time to go back."

"Don't think about it!"

The Moon Witch jumped back lightly and hid behind Dong Yeyu.

Dong Yeyu asked from the side: "Your bodyguard?"

"No, they are the Dark Moon Lord's lackeys. Help me stop them!" the Moon Witch whispered.

I'm wondering, have you imagined a whole world view?
Dong Yeyu found it funny and asked deliberately, "But aren't you the owner of the mirror moon?"

The Moon Witch paused and said seriously: "My power has weakened in the real world."

"Even if you say so, I'm just a mortal." He spread his hands, indicating that he was powerless and could do nothing.

"I think you should go back with them."

The Moon Witch was anxious at the time, "I can anoint you as the Moon Witch's Knight of Kalia!"

"But such a title can only bring honor and cannot bring power to a mortal like me, Your Highness the Moon Witch." Higashino Yu seemed to be quite immersed in the role.

The female bodyguard interrupted their conversation expressionlessly, opened the car door, and bowed slightly: "Miss, you must go home immediately. This is the order of the master of the house."

The Moon Witch hit Dong Yeyu's waist hard and pouted, "You are useless!"

Dong Ye Yu glanced at her sideways and said, "I think you don't understand the power of a cultivator at all."

The Moon Witch got into the car reluctantly. The leading female bodyguard closed the door. She leaned against the window, pursed her lips, and stared at Dong Yeyu with a dim look.

"I'm Natsuko Sugita." The female bodyguard walked over and introduced herself.

"Dongye Yu." Dongye Yu shook hands with her politely, "What's the matter?"

"Mr. Dongye, the lady gave you some money, right?"

When Natsuko Sugida saw Higashino Yu take two steps back, the corners of her mouth twitched: "I don't want the money back, I just want to know what you said to the lady." Higashino Yu glanced at the Moon Witch lying by the car window and saw that she was looking at her expressionlessly with a few Fukuzawa Yukichi notes in her hand. The meaning was self-evident.

However, after thinking for a moment, considering that the girl was obviously underage, in order to avoid being arrested and taken to the police station as a fraudster - of course, also to prevent the girl from being harmed by a monster.

Higashino Yu still decided to tell Sugita Natsuko about the matter.

"That's the price of getting information. You ladies volunteered."

"Ask for information? About monsters?"

"Yeah, she's looking for Nekomata."

Several bodyguards standing nearby let out a suppressed laugh. Natsuko Sugida glanced at them, and the bodyguards immediately became expressionless and held their heads high.

Then she looked strange: "Do you know where the cat is?"

What's a cat? There's a fox monster standing right in front of you.

Dong Yeyu answered seriously: "Yes."

The Moon Witch, who was trapped in the car, had a frosty expression on her face and disappeared behind the dark-colored car windows.

The atmosphere around fell silent for a few seconds. Natsuko Sugida did not continue asking questions. She just looked at Higashino Yu for a moment with a look of disgust, as if she had already regarded him as a swindler who had cheated little girls of their money.

"You little liar, you'd better not let me see you again."

"Who are you calling a liar? Who are you calling a liar!"

Natsuko Shida ignored him and gestured to her subordinates, and the bodyguards got into the car one after another.

The roar of cars came from near and far, and the street became quiet again.

Dong Ye Yu, who was indignant just now, calmed down in an instant, yawned, and continued walking towards the apartment with a plastic bag of discounted lunch box, as if nothing had happened.

Although it’s unpleasant to be treated as a liar, I’m lucky today anyway.

Higashino Yu touched his trouser pocket and felt the solid thickness of 60,000 yen, and his anxiety about money was slightly relieved.

The apartment building that Higashino Yu rented was built during the period when Tokyo was rebuilt, so it is considered a very old building.

It looks rather shabby, with ivy sparsely hanging on the mottled grey walls, and the lights here and there telling the outside world that there are people living here.

Dong Yeyu, who had unexpectedly made a small fortune, was in a good mood. Looking at the dark entrance of the corridor, some memories of his childhood in his previous life emerged in his heart.

The monkey version says what he says!
He stomped his feet hard, "Light!" and opened his hands as if praising the sun.

However, the voice-controlled light did not respond to his call. He called out a few more times unwillingly. The dim darkness and quiet atmosphere began to mock him.

This lamp is probably broken.

Dong Yeyu was thinking this and preparing to go upstairs when he suddenly felt someone's eyes staring at him from not far to his left.

Turning my head, I found a petite figure hidden in the darkness. I could only make out its outline through the dim light of the street lamps. It was wearing white clothes.

There were no pedestrians passing by, and even the sound of train whistles seemed to have disappeared. It was so quiet that one could hear one's own heartbeat.

"Who's there?"

Higashino Yu asked in a deep voice, took out his cell phone and turned on the flashlight button to shine it over - he was currently using an old flip phone given to him by Mr. Miyazaki. There was a light bulb on the front of the phone and a sliding switch on the side, which could be used as a temporary flashlight.

The sudden whitish light in the darkness was a bit dazzling, and the man squinted slightly.
