I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 79: Each taking a step back?
Iori Miko waved to Higashino Yu with a smile on her face, and then her misty eyes began to observe smartly, as if looking for something.

She changed into a goose yellow floral dress today, and the hairpin on her bangs became a ceramic hairpin in the shape of a Q-version fox. Her picturesque eyebrows were stretched out, and her fair face glowed with a white glow in the afternoon sun.

Iori Tadamichi looked at the people in the corridor who said they wanted to seek justice.

He knew all these people in front of him, and could even say that he had watched them grow up. These people could be seen at festivals of all sizes held at the shrine every year.

He seemed like a polite and respectable person on weekdays, but I never expected that he would raise a child like this.

"Iori Miyaji."

Uchiyama Daisuke and others pressed their children's heads to salute him, not daring to look him in the eye.

After all, the root cause of this matter is that these rascals bullied Iori Miko, and now that the real culprit has appeared, they naturally lose their confidence.

After examining them once, Iori Tadamichi took Miko to between Irino Ryoma and Higashino Yu.

Her eyes fell on the silver handcuffs he held, and she reached out and pressed the handcuffs back on.

"Captain Irino, Higashino-kun is under sixteen years old, so he doesn't need handcuffs, right?"

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Ruyeroma had no choice but to give up, hang the handcuffs back around his waist, and nod in agreement with a smile.

".You're right. It doesn't matter whether the handcuffs are used or not. The main thing is to make everyone satisfied. After all, this is just a public order incident."

Although clergymen these days have lost their titles and real power, they still have a long tradition and people see them every day, so they still have to give them face.

It’s not a big deal at the moment. He just wanted to vent his anger after his son was beaten.

It would be good if you can handcuff them, but it is also okay if you don't. In any case, kneeling down and apologizing is a must. Whoever hits others is not in the right.

"Tono Nissan, can I come in?"

With her grandfather around and seeing that Higashino Yu was fine, Iori Miko focused all her attention elsewhere.

Higashino Yu didn't want Iori Miko to see this ugly scene, so he whispered to her, "Go ahead, I'll give you a surprise in two days."

Anyway, he was now ready to promote himself as a demon hunter, so Xiuji was his shikigami, and the Iori family was his closest family in Tokyo, so there was nothing to hide.

Iori Miko looked at Higashino Yu and blinked, revealing a knowing and happy smile. Cute dimples appeared on her chubby little face, and her clear eyes reflected the sparkling water.

She said seriously: "It's a deal!"

Dong Yeyu smiled and nodded, helped her into the inner room, and came out again, leaving the door ajar.

"So, how are you going to solve this problem?"

At this time, Iori Tadamichi was looking around at everyone, his voice was serious, and he quickly took the right to speak from Irino Ryoma.

As a policeman, Ryoma Irino seemed like a foil beside him at this moment.

No one said anything, and several parents looked at Ruye Liangma.

A bunch of cowards, we have the law behind us, what's there to be afraid of? Even the palace officials have to abide by the law.

Irino Ryoma cursed these parents inwardly for being cowards, then stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Iori Miyaji, from the perspective of a police officer, both sides are wrong."

"First of all, these brats shouldn't bully Yuzi, but to call it bullying is a bit too much. It's just a little joke between classmates, maybe it went a little too far, it's harmless."

"Secondly, although Higashino-kun misunderstood a joke between classmates as bullying, which is understandable, hitting someone is a violation of public order."

"In modern society, only the law is qualified to maintain order and justice. When encountering difficulties, one should seek legal help first, rather than seeking personal revenge."

"If everyone does this, won't society be in chaos?" Irino Ryoma said, and people around him nodded in agreement.

"If Dong Ye-kun is an adult, this would be considered provoking a disturbance and he would be detained for five to ten days."

"But since Higashino-kun is under the age of sixteen, there is no need for detention."

He spoke as if he was letting Dong Yeyu off the hook, but then he added, "How about we both take a step back and apologize?"

"But these guys have already knelt down and apologized to Miko. Now all we need is for Higashino-kun to kneel down and apologize to them, and the matter will be resolved."

The other parents in the corridor nodded one after another. "This is barely acceptable. The child's injury is not serious, so no compensation is required. We just want an attitude."

Irino Ryoma smiled and looked at Iori Tadashi and said, "How do you think about this?"

Classic and muddy.

Dong Yeyu stood behind and looked at these people coldly, his mouth itching to scold them.

If Mr. Iori Tadamichi hadn't been here, I would have had to engage in a monkey-style debate with the group of scholars.

Where is the law when these people are born bullying the prince? If it weren't for me, the bullying would definitely go further.

Now that a fist is hitting you in the face, do you know how to raise legal issues?
Sorry, I'm a fox. Let alone the law, it won't work even if you bring up your Japanese emperor.

Do you really think that I have been practicing for nearly twenty years just to come to this island country and be a law-abiding citizen?

Higashino Yu didn't think he had done anything wrong. He stood behind Iori Tadamichi with a relaxed attitude and showed no intention of apologizing.

Anyway, this kind of thing is just a waste of time. You want me to apologize? You’re dreaming!
If you offend me, the fox, just wait, my evil spirit will leave your body in the middle of the night and make your home restless!

Iori Tadamichi said with a serious expression, "I don't think it's very good."

"There's a huge difference between bullying and joking."

When Iori Tadamichi thought of his granddaughter being bullied at school, he felt a surge of anger in his heart, his brows raised, and his eyes were like lightning.

"Irino, do you think I'm old and confused? Why are you trying to fool me with this kind of talk?!"

"And you—"

The old man looked around, his voice filled with anger, "If a child is not well-educated, it is the fault of the father. You parents are the culprits of bullying. How dare you come to my house and ask Dong Yejun to apologize?!"

"Even if you say so, hitting someone——"

"asshole!"

Snapped!
When Uchiyama Daisuke was halfway through his words, Iori Tadamichi's eyes widened and he slapped him with a palm as big as a palm fan.

Although he is old, he is very strong. With one slap, Daisuke Uchiyama was almost knocked to the ground.

When he came to his senses and looked at Iori Tadamichi in astonishment with his hands covering his face, one could see that his face was visibly red and swollen.

"you!"

He pointed at Iori Tadamichi and was about to curse, but Higashino Yu stood silently beside him with his hands folded, looking at him calmly with his eyes.

Irino Ryoma was watching speechlessly from the side. Iori Tadamichi had a lot of buffs on him. He was the lord of a shrine, an elderly man, and a former member of the noble clan.

As long as these people don't kill or rob, but just beat people up and teach them a lesson, the police can only watch helplessly.

"I am familiar with your ancestors. I beat you today. You can ask your ancestors whether I was right or wrong."

"Even if they bully someone else instead of Miko, I won't sit idly by! Such bullies cannot appear on the land blessed by the Inari God!"

Iori Tadamichi's voice was loud and clear, and his eyes darted back and forth, but no one dared to look at him.

Irino Ryoma didn't know what to do for a moment, fearing that he would be slapped if he walked up to him. At this time, a call came from the radio.

"Patrolman Irino, this is Shinoda, are you on duty?"

Irino Ryoma glanced at everyone, walked to the side, turned his head and asked into the radio: "I'm mediating a dispute here. What's going on?"

"Inspector Mitani asked you to resolve this dispute immediately and asked the parents of the bullies to apologize immediately. Then he asked you to come back to the police station. He didn't seem very happy. Did you get into trouble?"
