I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 5: Moon Witch
If this continues, we will soon reach the apartment. It would not be good to let strangers with bad intentions know the location of my residence.

It’s not that I’m scared or anything—I’m a monster.

The main fear is thieves. My family is poor to begin with, and if a thief comes, I probably won’t even be able to eat the discounted lunch box.

Dong Yeyu walked around the intersection ahead and came behind the follower.

"Excuse me, what do you need from me?"

Higashino Yu asked, holding his discounted bento in one hand, and looking warily at the stalker who had been following him for ten minutes and occasionally glanced at him.

This is a girl who looks no more than fifteen years old.

She is less than 1.6 meters tall, but has a well-proportioned body. Her straight legs are wrapped in pure cotton white tights, outlining the graceful curves of a girl.

Her long golden hair was tied into two ponytails, her eyebrows were as dark as distant ink, her eyelashes were long and slender, and her eyes were clear and bright.

Dong Quan's misty eyes were condensed with the icy blue of the polar regions, filled with cold indifference, so pure that people had an urge to desecrate her. Her nose was straight and cute, her chubby little face was as white as jade, and her cherry-colored thin lips were slightly pursed.

She was well-dressed, wearing an orange-yellow rainproof hooded windbreaker, a white wool sweater and a beige shirt underneath, white cotton tights and denim shorts. Her little face was buried in a goose yellow scarf embroidered with a cartoon fox, giving her an ethereal temperament.

The spring nights in Tokyo can sometimes be a bit cold, like today.

The clothes the girl was wearing were of good quality and did not look like street goods. At least they were outside the blind spot of the cheap goods knowledge he had collected. She was probably from a wealthy family, so Dong Ye Yu let down his guard a little.

As long as he's not a thief.

When the girl saw that the boy had discovered her, she did not try to slip away as a passerby. Instead, her eyes were bright and she raised her head slightly, looking at Dong Ye Yu.

Even with such a huge difference in size, her aura is still not inferior, or it can be said that their auras are like the products of two different worlds.

Higashino Yu's aura is filled with hidden violence and repression, like a violent storm, while the girl is like a flying fairy, with sunny weather and gentle breeze always around her.

Seeing this, Dongye Yu remembered the LOL hero skill that he hated in his previous life - Gwen was not affected.

Damn, it's time to weaken it a bit.

"Young man walking in darkness, I grant you permission to confess the sins of this filthy land before the throne of the Palace of Night."

The girl spoke softly, her voice was soft and sweet, but her tone was cold. She didn't sound like someone asking questions on the street, but rather like a princess who had been knighted in a magnificent palace.

The corners of Dongye Yu's mouth twitched slightly, and his toes began to show signs of movement.

Secondary disease.

Everyone has gone through this stage, and Higashino Yu is no exception.

The only difference is that most people just hide in their own space and have fun, but this girl actually dares to show this in front of others, which is enough to make her adult self fall headfirst into the ground.

All I can say is that there are differences among the two types of people with the same chuunibyou.

Dong Ye Yu stared at the girl's face, suddenly realized something, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet.

"Ugh!"

He took a deep, trembling breath, turned his face slightly downward about forty-five degrees, closed his eyes, frowned, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly in reluctance.

The shadow seemed to have sensed the boundless sorrow and regret, and gently covered it like a veil.

Such a beautiful girl doing such a cruel thing. If I had a smart phone now, I would record it all and post it on YouTube.

Shouldn't I just take 3,000 yen?!

Rounding it off, that's ten discounted lunch boxes. Damn it, you're losing money.

Seeing Dong Yeyu in grief, the girl asked in confusion, "What sin from the abyss hurt your family?"

"No, I lost three thousand yen." Higashino Yu sighed regretfully.

"Only 3,000 yen? I haven't come for several years. Are the people of the night already in such a difficult situation?" The girl looked at Higashino Yu with sympathy. What do you mean by "only"? !
Do you know how much you can buy with 3,000 yen?

Do you know how long that stuff would keep me alive?

Haha, there's nothing much to say to you rich kids. There's already a sadly thick barrier between us.

Dong Ye Yu lowered his head and looked down at the arrogant princess, and was about to leave angrily.

Seeing that he was about to leave without saying a word, the girl stood there in a daze, her ice-blue eyes with stars falling on them becoming hazy.

"why?"

She stood in the shadow of the street lamp, and the dim light cut her out from this noisy world.

Like the protagonist of a tragic epic, all her people were killed, and the few remaining knights abandoned her, leaving her alone sitting high on the throne, crying.

Wow!

I heard a crisp sound behind me, like banknotes swaying in the wind.

Driven by curiosity, Dong Ye Yu made a decision that went against his ancestors - to turn back.

Instantly, he met the girl's gaze, which was trying to hide her pleading with pride and disdain - and a ten thousand yuan bill.

Dong Yeyu curled the corner of his mouth.

Okay, okay, you're going to test me with this, right?
Damn, why do you rich girls always find my weak spot?

"There's really nothing we can do about you rich kids."

Dong Yeyu quickly snatched the ten thousand yuan bill and put it in his pocket. He simply translated some of her previous words in his mind and roughly understood that this girl just wanted to ask him about some things here.

"What do you want to know? First of all, I just moved here and I don't know much about this neighborhood."

At the same time, he raised the plastic bag in his hand that contained a bunch of discounted bento boxes, "And I'm about to go home for dinner, so you'd better ask quickly."

Seeing that the destined knight had changed his mind, the princess raised her lips slightly, raised her head, her eyes sparkling, and stood on tiptoe inconspicuously.

"I am the Moon Witch, and I was called by destiny to come here to eliminate the filthy demon called Nekomata."

After saying this, as if he was afraid that Dong Ye Yu didn't understand, he immediately explained it again.

"The Moon Witch is the guardian of the night and the lord of the mirror moon."

When she said this, her expression was indifferent but with a hint of arrogance, as if she was a god standing at the top of the long steps to godhood, looking down at the noisy world.

Dong Yeyu stood there in a daze, completely dumbfounded. It was hard to imagine how she could hold back from laughing.

It is a bit difficult to extract the message that this kind of deeply immature girl actually wants to express from her mouth.

Fortunately, Higashino Yu also went through a mild period of middle school immaturity in his past, and he was able to understand it through what he saw and heard and by guessing.

"Nekomata?"

The girl nodded slightly.

"It is a cruel and cunning monster that will deliberately lure lonely passers-by in the middle of the night in the form of a cute cat."

"If you follow them into the shadows, the cat will take away the body parts that suit your needs and then eat you whole. It is said that some powerful cats have completely transformed into humans."

"I heard the prayers, cries and resentment of the people of the night. You thirst for revenge, so I brought the wrath of the moon to save you from suffering."

The Moon Witch said this and stretched out her slender and tender little hand towards Dong Ye Yu.

"My destined knight, show me the way to revenge!"
