I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

The tanuki girl hugged her tightly, as if she was afraid that the fox would disappear if she let go.

Dong Yeyu smiled and touched the girl's head, "You did a great job, Xiao Taodong. There are more customers in the store, and you have truly become the head of the family. It's amazing."

I understand Tao Dong's mood very well.

The tanuki monsters originally valued their families, but now that Mootong was alone, he had saved her in the first place, so she probably relied on him a little.

Therefore, although the girl in front of him was gentle and graceful, he didn't have any other ideas.

Higashino Yu actually regards Momofuyu as a junior.

What's more, what's in front of you is just an illusion. In fact, it's probably a tanuki wearing a yukata. It's actually a bit funny when you imagine it.

But he is also a monster, but his magic is better.

A clothed fox and a tanuki in a yukata hugging each other appeared in Higashino Yu's mind, and this absurd image made him fall silent.

Momodong didn't know the random thoughts in Dong Yeyu's mind. She just hugged the young man in front of her and took a deep breath. The lingering smell made her feel more at ease than ever before, as if she had been busy with all kinds of things in the past two months. It finally paid off.

"It's so relaxing. It is said that this is a unique hot spring in Xiashan Mountain."

"I think the architectural style and interior of this small hotel are good and have an ancient feel."

At this time, the sound of guests talking in the hotel came, and it seemed that someone was leaving the hotel.

Momofuyu quickly let go, his face flushed and he bowed to apologize: "I'm sorry, Mr. Higashino, I'm really rude."

"What's rude? I'm not an outsider." Dong Yeyu didn't seem to care. He was going to sit in the hotel and then go to the shrine to visit Yuanjun.

A couple walked out of the hotel's entrance, looked at Dong Yeyu for a moment, and showed friendly smiles.

The man's face turned red, as if he had drunk some wine. He recommended it quite familiarly: "It is recommended to drink a glass of sake when soaking in the hot springs. Unfortunately, there are no hot spring steamed buns in the store."

Drink before soaking in a hot spring? Where did this habit come from? Dong Yeyu was curious, but he was kind enough to recommend some novel experiences, so he didn't want to be cold-hearted, so he smiled and nodded in response.

The man said and looked at Momofuji with regret: "Little girl, if you come here next time, can you have delicious hot spring steamed buns?"

"It would be better if we could have ramen. Hakata ramen is——"

Momofuyu was a little confused. She had never left Momogo, and she had never heard of Hakata Ramen.

The middle-aged woman wearing hiking clothes next to her apologized and said that her husband was drunk, and she pulled her husband away in embarrassment.

As if she really wanted to do this, Momodong took out a small notepad and wrote sentences with grammatical errors that only she could recognize on it.

It looked like something written randomly by a toddler who had just learned to write. Dong Yeyu looked at it for a while and didn't understand it, but he could guess that what she wrote was about customer reviews.

"Are you really prepared to listen to him?"

"Let's give it a try. What if the guests like it?"

Momofuyu said softly like a baby, and then found that Higashino Yu was reading what she had written, so she showed the notepad in her hand with some embarrassment.

"Aunt Narcissus taught me how to write in town. I learned to write from Aunt Narcissus, but I'm not very good at it yet."

This girl Motodong really couldn't see it before. How can she curl up like this?

Dong Yeyu was surprised that Xiuji had not made any progress despite being with him for so long, while Taodong had only been missing for two months and was about to be reborn.

No, Xiuji must be tortured when he returns.

Momofuyu hung the notepad on the towel strap on his shoulder, wiped his eyes, and sat down at the entrance, "Welcome back, Mr. Higashino."

The posture was smooth, and Dong Yeyu knelt down before she could react. Although she could indeed bear the gift, she still felt a little awkward.

"You don't have to be like this, just think of me as your senior brother." Dong Yeyu said helplessly.

Taotong raised his head and blinked: "Modong also serves his father and brother in the same way."

It’s too feudal, even if it’s capitalism?

Dong Yeyu wanted to say something, but when he thought of Xiuji and the monsters' ability to accept changes in things, he fell silent again.

This is probably one of the disadvantages of the immortal species. It has been living like this for hundreds of years. It is difficult for it to suddenly change.

"In short, there is no need to do this in the future. Just treat me as a normal senior friend, otherwise it will be a little weird."

Dong Yeyu said, changed his shoes and walked into the entrance hall. He looked at the slightly modified furnishings and asked.

"Have any monsters come to cause trouble in Taoxiang recently?"

The entrance is not big, and it is no different from when I came here before. When I enter, there is a small counter with some cute furnishings, such as a civet cat piggy bank and the like.

There is a new and exquisite door made of beautiful stone next to it. Through the door curtain, you can see the corridor. The sunlight slants down from the small dry landscape courtyard surrounded by the corridor and the yard, giving you a feeling of tranquility over time.

"At the beginning, there were some drunk monsters making trouble, but they all ran away after seeing the charm you left."

Momodong walked over and opened the curtain for Higashinoyu.

"After Lord Water God reorganized his spiritual affairs, he eliminated the bad monsters in Hisizawa. Other bad-tempered monsters will no longer get angry easily. Now Taoxiang has become like the Taoxiang that my father once told about. So Mr. Dongye doesn’t have to worry about me.”

As she said that, the girl looked at Higashino Yu, with a worried look in her peach blossom eyes: "As for you, there must be a lot of monsters living so far away from Edo, right? Is everything okay?"

not good.

Higashino Yu silently replied in his heart, but in order not to worry the tanuki girl, he showed a confident look on his face: "I am a famous Kyoto monster, who dares to provoke me?"

Lord Higashino, so mighty

Taotong stared blankly at the imposing, god-like young man in front of him, with bright eyes, and thought to himself, if Lord Higashino could transform back into his original form as a white fox, he would definitely be more majestic.

She had seen Higashi Yeyu kill monsters easily, defeat the White Snake God Envoy, and face the false gods head-on with the other two big monsters. She had already regarded him as a god-like existence, so she naturally believed in his words. Dong Yeyu saw the civet girl staring at him in a daze. He didn't think anything at first. As her expression became more and more strange, he frowned slightly and asked, "Is there something on my face?"

Taodong woke up suddenly and realized what he had just been thinking about. His face turned red and he said, "No, it's nothing."

Thinking of these offensive things to Mr. Higashino in your head, Mofuyu, you are really hopeless!

While condemning herself, the civet girl lowered her head and invited Higashino Yu to enter the hotel: "Please come in, Lord Higashino. You gave me a lot of advice before. I tried it, and the guests responded very well."

As she spoke, she introduced the changes in the hotel.

Higashino Yu followed Mofuyu into the hot spring hotel. The decoration in the hotel was very different from the simplicity of two months ago. There were some cute stickers with reminders on the wooden walls, and there were also some on the windowsills and corners. The lovely decoration has a strong atmosphere of life, which can make people feel the slow pace of life here and relax.

Follow the corridor to a simple Japanese room.

"This used to be my father's room. After you went back to Edo that night, I packed it out. I thought you could use it if you came back one day. If you don't mind it, I will stay here tonight." Here?"

After hearing what she said, Dong Yeyu hesitated. After all, the threat from the monsters in Dajiangshan was like the Sword of Damocles hanging around his neck. He had originally planned to return to Tokyo tonight.

However, looking at the civet girl busying about, she felt a little speechless. She was silent for a few seconds, until Taotong brought a cup of oolong tea in a fresh bamboo tube and looked at her eager expression.

It's just one night, and here in Taoxiang, within Yuanjun's jurisdiction, it should be fine.

Dong Yeyu thought of this, took the teacup, and nodded: "Okay, then I won't bother you."

Hearing this, Momo's eyes narrowed like a crescent moon. He was thinking about going to the town to buy some delicious food for dinner later, while introducing the bamboo teacup to Higashino Yu.

"This is a specialty of the store. A customer mentioned it before, so I tried to make some. Aunt Narcissus said that humans all love to be clean, so I went to the town to buy disinfection cabinets. Some time ago, humans in the town renovated At the shrine, I asked them to connect electricity to the store. Some customers like to use this bamboo tube to serve wine and tea. "

Dong Yeyu tasted it and found that the oolong tea did have a fresh taste of bamboo. It couldn't be said to taste better, but it was still unique.

The two chatted for a while. Monsters are not sensitive to the passage of time. Two months passed quickly in Mofuyu's perception, as if Higashino Yu had just left two days ago and came back, so there was no feeling of embarrassment. .

Then Dong Yeyu asked about Yuan Jun.

"Taodong, have you met Yuanjun recently?"

"Lord Water God?"

Taotong Yaya sat next to Dong Yeyu and shook his head: "When Master Shenming came back not long ago, he just asked me if I could cook delicious meals. I didn't dare to say that I could, and I haven't seen him since. I heard that Master Shuishen has been there for the past two days. You often go around Xia Mountain to exorcise evil spirits, so you must be busy with spiritual affairs, right?”

So diligent? Dong Yeyu became a little suspicious. This was completely different from the Yuanjun he knew. If something goes wrong, there must be a monster.

After hearing Higashinoyu talking about Yuanjun, Momofugue guessed the purpose of his return to Hisishawa and asked, "Is Lord Higashino coming here to visit Lord Water God?"

Dong Yeyu nodded: "Well, I have to ask her for help with something."

Momofuyu was a little curious, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just smiled and changed the subject: "Momofuyu has never been to Edo since he was a child. I don't know what it is like there. I only heard that it is a big city. Can Mr. Higashino tell me about it?" What kind of thing?”

"Tokyo is a place with high-rise buildings, busy traffic, lots of people, and a lot of interesting things. I haven't been in Tokyo for a long time, but I have experienced a lot, such as before."

As Higashino Yu described the scene in Tokyo and his own experiences, Momofuji knelt down and listened curiously, occasionally asking a rather strange question.

When the sun gradually tilted, Dong Yeyu took out his mobile phone and checked the time. He found that it was already three-thirty in the afternoon, so he smiled and said: "Let's stop here. I have to go to the shrine to visit Yuanjun."

"I'll go with you." Tao Dong stood up and said.

"Don't you need to visit the store?"

Momofuyu shook his head, took off the ropes on his arms, and let the big sleeves of the green yukata hang down: "There are actually not many guests during this period."

And I don’t open a store just for money. Momodong looked at Higashinoyu in front of him and silently added in his heart.

Seeing her insistence, Dong Yeyu said nothing. It would also be good for the little raccoon cat to show his face in front of Yuan Jun.

After Taodong hung a wooden sign in front of the door saying that the business was suspended, the two of them followed the bamboo forest path to the shrine, climbed the bluestone shrine that had been cleaned of moss, and came to the renovated hand-washing house to wash their hands.

However, the main hall and other buildings of the shrine had not been renovated in time. At this time, they were just cleaned, and they looked less desolate, but still had an old feeling.

There were no priestesses or other management personnel, only a few tourists came here to worship and tour, and it seemed that you could pay or not pay for the worship.

However, according to Yuanjun's money-minded personality, it would be difficult for believers to come to worship without paying.

Dongye Yu stood in front of the worship hall, threw a Fukuzawa Yukichi into the offering box, then made a Shangqing seal and bowed his head, briefly described the course of events in his mind, and asked to meet Yuanjun.

Yuanjun is not a god from the island country, but a river dragon god from Shenzhou. She probably doesn't care about the five-yen bond. From what I know about her, the more offerings, the better.

Taodong looked at Dongye Yu's worship with some curiosity, and threw a coin that belonged to her, clasped her hands together, and worshiped devoutly.

After a while, Dongye Yu and Taodong disappeared in front of the worship hall together, and the tourists around didn't seem to notice.

Dongye Yu just felt that the power of the gods wrapped herself and Taodong, and she didn't resist. When she looked up, she found herself in a brilliant and bright temple, with flying eaves, brackets, glazed tiles, and the ground seemed to be cut from a whole piece of gem, smooth and clear enough to be used as a mirror.

The red pillars that require several people to hold together are coiled with dragons. The structure in the center of the palace is somewhat like the Shenzhou Palace, with a pool surrounded by fairy mist, a white marble bridge, and jade steps. There are exquisite reliefs of rare animals, birds, beasts, insects, fish, and mountains and rivers of China, which are lifelike and dazzling.

Yuanjun sat in front of the table on the jade steps, wearing a golden and white dragon embroidered plum blossom lady's skirt, a golden jade and jadeite step-shaking on her head, a long black hair tied in a flying fairy bun, and a golden dragon necklace around her neck. She looked majestic, her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and she leaned over to stare at Dongye Yu.

"You mean, that Inari God bought you with a talisman?"

I told you so many things, and you only stared at this one?

Dong Yeyu looked at Yuanjun's expression and was sweating for no reason. But then he thought, she has nothing to do with me. I am her benefactor. Why should I sweat?

Dong Yeyu thought of this and felt justified. He made a seal with his hand and said in a deep voice: "How can this be considered as buying it?"

"The agreement will only take effect after the spell is used. So I just don't need the spell, right?"
