I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 80 Xiu Ji: Lord, you!
Inspector Mitani? How would he know?
Iruno Ryoma was a little stunned.

It's like you're fighting on the front line of a battlefield and suddenly you receive a call from the Führer asking you to move your machine gun five meters to the right.

Why would such a big shot intervene in trivial public security incidents?

Is this the person that Iori Miyaji is looking for?

I've never heard of any relationship between him and Inspector Mitani. It would be better to say that Miyaji Iori has never shown any signs of having any connection with powerful people over the years.

He suddenly remembered the phone call that Higashino Yu had made when he entered the room just now. As soon as he made the call, Iori Tadamichi came.

This is obviously unreasonable, and the tone he used when speaking in the inner room just now did not sound like he was talking to an old man.

Something like "Your Highness the Witch" sounds more like a strange conversation between young people.

If it wasn't for Iori Miyaji, then who was it?

He thought about it, but had no idea, but one thing was clear.

No matter who it is, it is likely that he is not someone you can afford to offend.

Irino Ryoma suddenly felt that things were not going well at home and in his career recently, and the number of missing children in the area had increased.

It’s okay that my son got his brain stuck in the door and went to bully Miko from the Iori family, after all, no serious consequences were caused.

It is easy to solve the problem by buying some expensive gifts and going to his house to apologize sincerely. Iori Miyaji has always been tolerant towards others.

How can we deal with a problem caused by an outsider?

Originally, he just saw that the other party was a poor boy from Kansai, so he wanted to vent his son's anger and help mediate between a few parents to improve his own reputation in the local area.

The result is like this.

He was silent for a while, walked back, and looked at everyone: "I now feel that only one party is wrong in this matter."

Irino Ryoma looked at the parents standing in the corridor and said in a serious voice: "Mr. Uchiyama, Mrs. Tsuruoka, let your children apologize to Miko. Bullying is a very bad behavior!"

"If you don't want to, I won't force you. You can solve it yourselves, or ask other police officers to mediate, but I don't think the result will be any different."

Then, ignoring the stunned people, he looked at his son who was pointing at his classmates and laughing with glee, and kicked him a little harder.

"Stop laughing, go kneel down and apologize to Yuzi!"

Keita Irino looked at his father and his smile froze on his face. Didn’t I apologize?

Irino Ryoma also bowed 90 degrees to Iori Tadamichi and said, "Prince Iori, I am deeply sorry for my poor teaching and for causing my son to do such a bad thing!"

Then he apologized to Dong Yeyu: "Dong Ye, there are many violations in my law enforcement process. Please forgive me!"

Iori Tadamichi saw that he had just gone over and said something incoherent, and when he came back his attitude had changed drastically. He probably knew the reason in his heart, and he also knew that this person was not apologizing sincerely, he just said "hmm".

Dong Yeyu smiled and said, "I forgive you."

The efficiency is so high. It seems that Miss Moon Witch has some pretty good connections. I'll say a few good words to her when the time comes.

If this policeman returns, he will probably be fired at worst, or have no career prospects at best, and he might even be demoted.

It took him nearly twenty years to get promoted to patrol chief. He was expected to be promoted to patrol chief soon. He had a chance to retire honorably as a police inspector, but suddenly he was demoted to a small patrolman on the roadside.

I'm not mad at you anymore.

"Ok?"

After apologizing, Irino Ryouma saw that his son didn't move, so he glared at him and put his hand on his belt buckle.

Keita Irino was startled at that time. When he passed by Higashino Yu, he lowered his head, not daring to look at him, and went to the entrance to apologize to Miko.

Iori Miko, who was sitting obediently at the small square table, felt a little strange, "Irino-san, why did you apologize twice?"

Irino Keita lowered his head: "My father asked me to do it. I'm sorry, Iori-san."

Iori Miko was a little distressed. She glanced at Higashino Yu, and seeing that he was just looking at her with a smile, she pursed her lips helplessly.

"Okay, I'll forgive you again."

For those people she doesn't care about, she doesn't care what they say, and naturally she doesn't care whether they apologize for their behavior.

In the corridor, Uchiyama Daisuke was a little angry when he saw Irino Ryoma slide to his knees.

"My son has already apologized!"

He had just been slapped in the face and lost face in front of his wife and children, so he was a little upset for a moment.

He left with his son and wife after saying these harsh words angrily. Before leaving, his wife looked back at Dong Ye Yu and didn't have time to hand over the business card in her hand.

Tsuruoka Yumi looked at the leaving Uchiyama Daisuke and his family, and then looked at Irino Ryoma.

After hesitating for a while, he bowed and apologized to Iori Tadamichi and Higashino Yu, then pushed his son and whispered, "Go and apologize."

So the matter ended somewhat anticlimactically.

A group of people came to my house for no apparent reason and demanded an accusation, but not only did they fail to achieve their desired goal, they also had to apologize again and left in a very embarrassing way.

Higashino Yu looked at those who left and once again realized the importance of relationships in human society.

If you want to integrate into human society, you must act according to the rules of human society before you have the strength to overturn the table.

Otherwise, he would have no choice but to flee back to the forest and become the Sword God of Shilipo.

Today's incident is an example.

If it weren't for the help of Iori Tadamichi and Asumi Sanae, he would have had to deal with these people for a long time. Plus, that policeman had a bit of personal vengeance, so he might end up in a miserable state.

It would be laughable if you told others that a great immortal was troubled by mundane affairs.

If things go wrong, it might be used as a typical negative example by major monks and told to the younger generations.

Do you know why the fox, despite his great cultivation, is still troubled by worldly affairs? It’s because he didn’t learn magic.

This is probably the limitation of the wild path. Even if you obtain the method of becoming an immortal, there are no matching protective spells to learn.

I can only say that I hope that next time when I repay you, you can give me some spells with more general uses.

For example, illusions are very useful. They are not very lethal, but can help one thrive in the world.

Dong Yeyu prayed to the system immortal in his heart, and then bowed slightly to Iori Tadamichi: "I am really sorry to trouble you this time, Mr. Iori."

"No, I should thank you."

Iori Tadamichi stretched out his broad-knuckled, wrinkled hand and patted Higashino Yu's shoulder.

"Thank you for protecting her."

As he spoke, he looked at Iori Miko who was leaning against the window in the room looking outside.

The girl leaned against the window frame, squinting her eyes slightly, as if waiting for something. Her chubby little face rested on her fair and slender arms, and her dark brown and slightly curly hair danced in the warm afternoon breeze.

Iori Tadamichi's eyes were filled with deep pity: "She always seems to be so carefree. But Miko is actually a child with a tragic fate."

Seeing that the old man had started talking, Higashino Yu began to act like a loyal listener.

This is how a fox should repay a favor, otherwise how can it develop a benefactor?

"With elders like you and Grandma Iori loving her so much, how can you say that she has a bad fate?" Iori Tadamichi was silent for a few seconds and sighed: "In fact, Miko's parents died many years ago for some reasons. It has always been me and her grandmother who have been taking care of this child."

"She has some unique talents that allow her to see things that ordinary people cannot see, namely the legendary monsters."

"Miko can talk to them, but other people can't see those things."

"Even I can barely see their shadows."

When Iori Tadamichi said this, he looked a little regretful. As a clergyman, his talent was extremely poor.

He looked at Dong Yeyu: "I heard from Yu Zi that Dong Yejun, you also have this talent?"

That's about it - I am what you call those things that ordinary people can't see.

Dong Yeyu nodded slightly: "Yes."

"Then Higashino-kun should be able to understand why Miko is alienated?"

“People always instinctively reject people and things that they cannot understand.”

"They don't understand Miko, so they reject her, and when she is left alone and isolated, she becomes easy to bully."

When talking about this, Dong Yeyu recalled his own childhood experience and sighed: "In fact, the communication between children is more real and direct than that between adults."

Iori Tadamichi nodded: "Indeed, Higashino-kun, you are very smart and know how to hide yourself."

If I didn't know how to hide myself, I would have been skinned and made into a fox coat. Dong Yeyu sighed in his heart.

Iori Tadamichi turned his head, put his hands on the outer wall of the corridor, and looked at Tokyo, which was brightly illuminated by the sun.

"Although Yuzi is intelligent, she is too arrogant. After being excluded, she immersed herself in the world where monsters and humans coexist."

"Because of this reason, Miko has been isolated since elementary school, and the situation has become even worse in junior high school."

"Her grandmother and I are worried about what we have seen, but what can we do if other children isolate Yuzi?"

He said helplessly that the Iori family's ancestors were aristocratic family, but they have long since declined and only a shrine is left.

He does have some connections, most of which were left by his son. Whether they are useful or not is another matter, after all, people are forgotten when they leave.

Fortunately, there are gods in this world, and the arrangements of the priests all depend on the will of God, otherwise Inari Shrine would no longer be named Iori.

"Actually, you don't have to worry. Miko has many friends in the other world. As for the real world——"

Dong Yeyu promised earnestly: "I will protect her."

He planned to ask Xiuji to protect Miko when she was in Tokyo.

Anyway, the rats in Higashino Castle won't come, so there's no need to sit and guard it. I carry hundreds of thousands of yen with me, so I can steal some tables, chairs, and small electrical appliances.

Iori Tadamichi had been waiting for this sentence, and immediately smiled and patted Higashino Yu's shoulder: "I feel much more relieved when you take care of Miko."

"Yaren has taught many good children, and you are the best one among them."

Dongye-kun is indeed well-versed in human nature.

He is no longer worried that Higashino Yu will not be able to adapt to Tokyo - he is a good student, has a great appearance, knows when to advance and when to retreat, has good manners, hates evil but knows the severity of the consequences when taking action.

This kind of person is born to be able to stir up trouble in a big city like Tokyo.

It's a pity that Miko is in poor health, the Iori family's background is not prominent enough, and Higashino-kun is too outstanding, otherwise he could be recruited into the Iori family to take over his job.

Iori Tadamichi thought with a hint of regret in his heart, turned around and left in his wooden clogs.

No, you don’t want your granddaughter anymore?
Dong Yeyu was stunned for a second, and then asked quickly: "Where are you going? Yuzi is still here."

The old man had solved his worry and was in a good mood. He waved at Dong Yeyu with a smile.

"I'm going to the pub downstairs to drink, so please, Higashino-kun, take care of Miko for me. Let's go back to the shrine to eat together in the evening - don't tell Miko's grandmother that I'm drinking."

You are a drunkard, right? You are really not afraid of high blood pressure.

Dong Ye Yu looked at the old man walking quickly into the izakaya in the alley in his wooden clogs, and complained in his heart.

I turned around and went back into the house. The weather in Tokyo was gradually getting hotter, and it was the rainy season, so there was no need to even leave the door ajar, otherwise it would seem a bit stuffy.

"Are you waiting for Xiuji? He went to Kyoto and hasn't come back yet."

Dong Ye Yu looked at the girl who was lying on the window frame in a daze, took off his shoes and walked over, saying with a smile.

Iori Miko, who had squinted her eyes like a cat, suddenly straightened up, and looked at Higashino Yu with her misty eyes, a little stunned.

"Its name is Shujizaemon."

She corrected subconsciously in a soft voice, then reacted and blinked her eyes: "Has Dongye Nissan found it?"

"It's not really found, actually - it's my shikigami."

"I didn't tell you before because I had various concerns. After all, I'm not a regular demon hunter. And didn't Xiu Jizaemon steal the snacks from Miko?"

Higashino Yu walked over to Iori Miko and sat cross-legged, smiling: "After he knew that you had been looking for him, he was often scared and couldn't sleep or eat."

In fact, it wasn't. The dead bird never remembered what bad things it had done. After stealing Yu Zi's snacks, it came back to eat, drink and sleep as usual.

Even when he heard that she was looking for him, he laughed three times and showed disdain.

"Is that so? I just wanted to chat with him. Haruhara said he's not a bad monster and he seems to have been to many places."

Iori Miko pursed her lips slightly, adjusted her goose yellow floral skirt, and hid her small feet in white lace socks, with graceful arches and delicate ankles, under the skirt.

She felt a little regretful: "If Xiu Jizaemon is afraid of me, Dong Ye Nissan should not force him."

"It's okay. I'll explain it to you. He's a pretty good guy and will feel Miko's kindness. And I plan to let him protect you in school."

"Why?" Iori Miko was a little confused.

"I'm very grateful to your grandfather for helping me so much, this is just a small reward. Besides, we are friends, right?"

Dong Yeyu smiled, and the bright afternoon sunshine shone in through the window lattice, casting a faint glow on the boy's handsome profile. It seemed as if one could feel the temperature and touch of the light, as if it dripped on the skin and melted into the air.

Friends? Iori Miko stared at Higashino Yu, her crystal eyes sparkling, her eyelashes slightly lowered, and her delicate earlobes glowing with a light pink.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent. Dong Yeyu looked around the somewhat simple home and took out the only electronic device - the TV remote control.

"Miko, do you want to watch TV?"

Before Iori Miko answered, Higashino Yu enthusiastically turned on the TV, but there were no programs suitable for children at this time in the afternoon.

It seems that Yuko is indeed not interested.

So he turned off the TV and rummaged through the glove box, finding some old comics that kids from the orphanage had given him, all about demon kings and witches from another world.

"How about comics?"

It is expected to be released next Wednesday. I am currently saving up manuscripts. By then, I will guarantee a minimum of 20,000 views. When it is released, the update rate will be increased to 6,000 views per day, which should give a much better viewing experience.
