I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 85 Shooting yourself in the foot
After seeing Sanae leave tomorrow, Higashino Yu went to a street shop to buy some snacks such as potato chips, and his eyes fell on the beverage freezer that was shrouded in a hazy cold mist.

Among the many normal or strange beverage bottle packaging, a very strange one was chosen - soda with a bottleneck that looks like a sex toy.

This is probably a specialty product of the island country. I often saw it when watching Japanese dramas in my previous life. It looks delicious.

After his rebirth, he had hardly touched snacks and drinks because he was poor. Now that he is rich, Dongye Yu is ready to slowly start trying local specialties, starting with bubble soda.

I can only say that I have to praise Asumi Sanae for being able to have the confidence to buy snacks so quickly.

Dong Ye Yu has begun to like this girl a little. Although she has a bit of a middle school mentality, she is not a bad person. When fighting a boss, she knows how to ask others to help her avoid causing trouble. She is also very rich.

Compared to the teammates who were careless and did lobster things when playing group games, they have won a lot. At least they won’t do anything that would make people’s blood pressure soar.

I am not qualified to be a legendary investigator, but I can still be a specialized elite investigator with full logistical capabilities.

Dongye Yu returned home happily, thinking that since his savings had increased a little, he might as well buy some furniture to improve his life.

When he looked up, he met Iori Miko's gaze and found that the little girl was looking at him with a strange look.

"What's wrong, Miko?"

Dong Yeyu took off his shoes at the entrance and looked at himself, "What's dirty on me?"

Iori Miko put down the comic in her hand, looked at Dongye Yu with her intelligent eyes, and said softly: "Is Dongye Nissan short of money?"

If it weren't for the lack of money, who would be willing to live in a place like this?

Dong Yeyu sighed, walked over to put the snacks on the small square table, and sat down cross-legged.

"The lie is, there is a shortage. The truth is, there is a severe shortage."

"Why are you asking this, Miko?"

Dong Ye Yu asked with some confusion, opening the Le Tu potato chips he bought and placing them in front of the girl.

"I don't know what flavor of potato chips you like, so I bought the original flavor."

"Thank you."

Iori Miko thanked him softly and looked at the golden potato chips in the packaging bag with some curiosity.

She had never eaten snacks - her grandmother was very strict about her living habits and did not allow her grandfather to drink alcohol or eat snacks.

It should be okay to just take one tablet, right?
She picked up a potato chip curiously and put it in her mouth, her eyes lit up slightly.

It should be okay not to tell grandma, right?
He took another piece and stuffed it into his mouth, then looked at Dongye Yu and said, "I have money too, I can lend it to Dongye Nissan."

really?
Dongye Yu was moved for a moment, but this was just the inertia of thinking caused by lack of money.

Now that my situation has gradually improved and I have quite a bit of savings, I don't have to borrow money from Yu Zi.

"Thank you for your concern, Yuko. I will definitely come to borrow money from you when Dongye Nissan needs it." Dongye Yu said with a smile.

Iori Miko could hear his refusal, so she pursed her lips slightly and lowered her butterfly-like eyelashes.

"Why is Dong Yeyu willing to accept the help of Miss Asumi, but not the help of Miko?"

"You Dongye Nissan, I didn't take her money for nothing."

Dong Yeyu thought for a moment and explained, "Amori saw that she likes to investigate monsters, but she is a mortal, so since I met her, I will follow her when she investigates monsters and be responsible for protecting her safety."

Is that so? I guess I played house with her for money, right?

Besides, this Miss Asumi looks a little strange, and a normal person probably wouldn't want to get in touch with her.

Iori Miko nodded thoughtfully, lowered her brows, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes as clear as glass, and the bitterness in her heart quietly dissipated for the most part.

Seeing her lost in thought, Dong Yeyu thought she was worried about him, so he smiled and comforted her. "Don't worry, money is just a little short these two years. When Miko hears that there is a handsome genius demon exorcist in Tokyo, things should be better."

Iori Miko nodded seriously, "Tono Nissan will definitely become a great demon slayer like his father."

As she spoke, she gracefully took a piece of potato chips and stuffed it into her mouth, covering her mouth with her little hands while chewing.

By the way, I heard from Mr. Iori that Miko's father seemed to have died early?

Higashino Yu was worried that talking about this would make Iori Miko sad, so he took the initiative to change the subject.

"Then I'll borrow Yuko's words. Would you like some soda?"

As he spoke, he picked up the soda, looked at the instructions for opening the bottle cap for a while, opened it and took a sip, then glanced at Yuko with an unchanged expression.

What does it taste like?
An indescribable taste burst out in the mouth along with bubbles. Dongye Yu didn't like it very much, but didn't want to waste it, so he drank it up.

It can only be said that it is no coincidence that Fat House Happy Water has become popular all over the world.

Higashino Yu opened a bottle for Iori Miko as well, and said seriously, "It tastes really good! Miko should try it too."

Iori Miko took the bottle and looked at Higashino Yu's eager expression, her brows slightly furrowed. She had already seen through the trick and felt a little helpless in her heart. It was so childish.

But she didn't hate this childishness.

So he pretended not to know, took a small taste, then frowned, turned his eyes away, and looked at Dong Ye Yu with his misty eyes, and said nothing.

"So Yuko doesn't like this taste?"

After successfully pulling off the prank, Higashino Yu said innocently, "I thought Japanese people like to drink soda pop."

"Okay, if you like, Tono Ni-san, drink up Miko's bottle as well."

Iori Miko said this with a slightly puffed face, and stuffed the soda in her hand into Higashino Yu's arms as if she was a little angry.

Uh. Higashino Yu suddenly felt like he had shot himself in the foot. He was about to say that he was full and would drink later, but when he met Iori Miko's ethereal and calm gaze, he felt guilty.

So I had no choice but to drink another bottle of soda.

Iori Miko watched Higashino Yu drink up a whole bottle of soda, snorted lightly, but there was a smile in her eyes.

However, when her eyes fell on the mouth of the bottle, she seemed to be slow to react. A hint of pink slowly climbed up her fair neck, and her eyes reflected the sparkling light.

She lowered her head, munched on potato chips and read comics silently, ignoring him.

After that, the two stayed in the room for a while. When they heard Iori Tadamichi shouting downstairs to go home for dinner, they packed up and went to Iori's house for dinner together.

After dinner, Higashino Yu played flying chess with Yuko in the study for a while, and then strolled back home.

After turning on the light, I saw the cell phone box on the floor and remembered something.

Dong Yeyu placed the cell phone box on the small square table, and solemnly took out the flip phone given to him by the director of the orphanage, as if he was holding a ceremony, and stroked its battle-hardened, mottled shell, feeling a little reluctant to part with it.

But it really can no longer meet my own usage needs.

Old soldiers never die, even if they retire, I will always treasure you.

With a bit of sadness, Dong Ye Yu promised, put it into the packaging box of the Fruit Phone, put it in the storage box, and then took out the Fruit Phone.

I first took a look at the line. There is still no news about Asumi Sanae, and I don’t know whether Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami will teach her magic. I always feel that her journey to become a demon slayer is a little bleak.

But the original intention was to make her shift her focus from monsters to cultivation. As long as she doesn't run around looking for monsters and die, it will be fine.
