Chapter 364 Asking for help
When the fox’s parents died, he felt something in his heart, so he ran back from Sunshine Garden in the middle of the night to Shi Yuyue’s original fox cave. However, the cave had collapsed long ago and had been abandoned for many years, and the fox was nowhere to be found.

Dongye Yu tried to find it for a while but got no news. He asked the monsters around him but got only answers that teased him. Even after beating up a few monsters, he didn’t get any useful information.

Later, he gave up the search and returned to Sunshine Garden. He was depressed for a long time afterwards.

Although it was the fox parents who gave birth to me and raised me for only a few months, they then drove me out of the fox cave.

But that is, after all, the way wild foxes have always raised their offspring, and the care I felt during those days was not fake. Even if the mother fox’s love was out of instinct, it still made me feel warm.

To this day, all that’s left in Higashino Yu’s heart is regret, but not much sadness.

Dongye Yu withdrew his gaze from Ali who was dozing off against the porch pillar. There was not much time left, and he was not going to practice anymore.

He was just waiting for Hiiragi Kagami, Kaori Shiori and the others to finish their training – he had to send them back to Gion in the evening.

Mainly due to safety concerns, Tokyo is not very peaceful at night.

They had not yet stopped practicing. Dong Ye Yu felt that they might have to practice for a while, so he was not idle. Seeing that the desk was a little messy, he carefully tidied it up, put the snacks, fruits and other things on it neatly, and sorted out the books and other things.

The game controllers and other items were put away under the TV, the BS5 game console and TV were turned off, and the 8K 65-inch TV fixed to the wall on one side was turned off.

According to Sanae’s original idea, she felt that a 75-inch TV would allow people to be more immersed in the game.

Originally, according to Higashino Yu’s idea, one should not play games. Even if it is free time that cannot be used for practicing, wouldn’t it be better to use it to do open-book exercises?

How many people can be defeated by one point?
However, Sanae believes that if people practice and study all day without any entertainment, their spirits will become exhausted and the desired practice effect will not be achieved.

Dong Yeyu didn’t take it seriously at first, thinking it was just an excuse for the rich kid to be lazy.

Have I not suffered enough over the years? Now that I have enough food and clothing, it is already heaven. I must work harder to protect this kind of life.

So when they were resting and playing games, Dongye Yu would either study magic, or do test questions when he had no idea, and then seriously mark the ultimate form of papers.

Later, I hit a bottleneck in the study of several spells. I didn’t quite understand some of the annotations of my predecessors, and some problems occurred in the practice of the golden elixir. Although it seemed that I was making steady progress, the elixir embryo would never take shape, as if something was missing.

Just spend some time doing test questions – this will give you a sense of fulfillment and security, and at least make you less anxious.

After finishing the test paper, Higashino Yu didn’t want to spend money to buy it, so she prepared to borrow it from Sanae, but was asked to play games with her for two hours.

Two hours?!

Higashino Yu was very upset about this waste of time and cut the play time to half an hour.

Sanae didn’t bargain either, but just looked at Higashino Yu seriously, looking very confident.

“This is a creation that embodies the wisdom of the Moon Witches. Even Your Excellency the Knight will definitely be obsessed with it.”

At first, Higashino Yu actually had no interest. He had played a lot of good games in his previous life, and before he was killed, he was already in the late stage of electronic impotence. He had no interest in many 3A games, but instead loved some small-scale independent games.

After reincarnation, due to physical force to quit internet addiction and years of practicing Taoism, his mind became clear and he knew what he wanted and that the world was not safe.

Therefore, during the time I can practice, I put all my energy into practicing.

However, after playing it, Higashino Yu unexpectedly discovered that Durarara: The Moon Witch is actually quite fun, and its plot and gameplay are both world-class.

This game is a series developed by a game company under the Asumimi Group.

The initial reason for the development was just Ruri’s random thoughts, and even the script and settings were the prototypes she and Sanae made together.

However, when she was alive, this story about the Moon Witch was just something she and Sanae imagined together, using paper and pen as the carrier.

After Liuli’s death, Asumi Goro invested in and established a game company, probably to commemorate his granddaughter.

The game was made based on Ruri’s manuscript. The two twin witches in the background of the game, who sometimes swing on the crescent moon and sometimes travel around the game world, are Easter egg characters based on Ruri and Sanae.

Higashino Yu later searched on the Internet and found that it was indeed a very famous game, comparable to The Legend of Link in his previous life.

Although they are all games in the Moon Witch series, there are many different types.

There are traditional RPG, SLG, pixel-style Metroidvania, and open world 3D adventure games like The Legend of Link, etc. It is said that some time ago they were preparing to cooperate with the company over at Meijiao to develop 3A-level games.

But because of the involvement of LGBT, the Moon Witch seemed to be showing signs of turning into the Bogang Witch. Asumi Goro was very annoyed for a while. After negotiating for a while, the other party refused to make concessions, so the old man simply stopped the entire project.

In fact, Dongye Yu loved playing games in his previous life. Now, holding the controller, he felt the joy of his previous life again, and the emotions and memories that had been suppressed for a long time became active again.

It was only then that I realized that I hadn’t relaxed like this in almost twenty years.

Practice itself can also bring pleasure and happiness, but just like learning, this kind of happiness requires hard work and sweat.

How can there be more fun than playing games with your girlfriend?

Therefore, even though the worry about the demon of Mount Oe was still like a thorn in his heart, he briefly felt relaxed and happy while playing games with Sanae.

This is of no benefit to practice or learning, but it can give you a moment of pleasure that is within your reach.

After all, people are not made of iron.

So after that, Higashino Yu would take some time to play BS5 games with Sanae every now and then. While he was in a relaxed mood, his practice speed didn’t seem to slow down much.

Of course, this time must be controlled in moderation. Dongye Yu basically limits himself to playing games for no more than 40 minutes each time.

After packing up the game controller and other items, he turned around and met Hiiragi Jing’s open dark blue eyes.

Dong Yeyu blinked and asked as usual: “Is everything going well?”

Hiiragi Jing nodded slightly, without saying anything more, just lowered his brows and packed his things.

Seeing this, Dong Ye Yu tactfully shut up and waited for her to pack her things. He had become accustomed to her recent attitude which was sometimes distant and sometimes close, or rather, it was within his expectations.

After all, I did something shameless first, so it’s normal for Hiiragi Kagami to be unhappy. She probably hasn’t made a thorough decision yet, which is normal. Hiiragi Kagami is a lady from a wealthy family, and her education is conservative. How could she accept that she wants to share her partner with someone else so quickly?

What’s more, everyone is familiar with each other and they see each other every day. Higashino Yu put himself in Hiiragi Jing’s shoes and felt that if he were Hiiragi Jing, he would be quite embarrassed.

Even though she had said before that she needed time to think about it, it was still unclear whether she would be able to accept it in the end.

I can only try my best to keep her.

But then again, I have never chased a girl in my entire life. When I asked about it on the forum, I basically got classic answers like “Just go up to her and she won’t be able to handle it.”

It’s time to delete the post.

Dongye Yu pretended to pick up the magic practice notes he had made, and for a moment he didn’t know what to do.

Hiiragi Jing put all the books into his backpack, looked at Higashino Yu who was pretending to read for a moment, and made eye contact with him for a moment, but there was no communication. He just gave an ambiguous smile and then looked away.

The two of them were sitting not far from each other, just a body length away. If they paid a little attention, they could even feel each other’s breath.

Therefore, even with the air conditioner on, the quiet atmosphere in the study seemed a little bit dizzying.

Hiiragi Kagami sat beside the desk with a cold expression, waiting for Kaori and Shiori to finish their training.

But she could actually feel that Higashino Yu cared about her, and occasionally she could also feel that he seemed to be clumsily trying to express his feelings for her.

Honestly speaking, he has changed a lot during this period of time, not as a person, but in the way he gets along with himself.

Before, he interacted with me normally and restrainedly, just like he would with friends. But since he confessed his feelings, he has become less restrained and has tried to express his feelings.

Hiiragi Jing could feel it all, and she didn’t hate this feeling. She even felt a kind of joy in her heart that made her feel despicable, but she rarely responded – mainly because she herself didn’t know how to respond.

From childhood to adulthood, she has been immersed in practice and study. Many boys have confessed their love to her, but not only has she entered her heart, but no one has even caught her eye.

Those boys gave her a very frivolous feeling, as if love was just a way for them to show off or vent their adolescent impulses.

Hiiragi Kagami, who tends to be conservative in his thinking, hates this kind of frivolity, so he also sneers at the idea of ​​love.

This also leads to being at a loss when it is my turn to fall in love.

Moreover, she was under even greater psychological pressure. After all, she was slowly approaching Higashino Yu in front of Sanae, Miko and others, which always felt very strange.

It feels like I am the third party, and I have a strong sense of stealing and guilt.

Even if Miko and Sanae knew and agreed beforehand, it would not reduce this guilt.

To them, I am the real latecomer, and I stole a relationship that originally belonged to them.

Of course, Hiiragi Jing didn’t want to tell these words to anyone, not even Higashino Yu – he was the one who caused the problems, and he couldn’t solve them.

They quickly packed their backpacks and there was an awkward silence for a while. Hiiragi Jing stood up as if unaffected, touched the teapot, which was still warm, and poured a cup of tea for himself and Higashino Yu.

This is the tea taken from Gion’s father’s study. It is a spiritual tea. He brought some over during his previous visit. Seeing that Higashino Yu seemed to like it very much, Hiiragi Jing would bring some over every time he came.

“Thank you.”

Dong Yeyu thanked him and drank the tea in the cup bit by bit. It was a bit bitter and definitely not as delicious as a beverage, but the aftertaste was very fresh and natural, and even people who don’t like tea would probably like it.

Except for Kaori and Shiori, the other two cannot bear even the slightest hardship.

The reason why Dongye Yu likes this tea is not because it tastes so good or has any benefits for spiritual practice, but simply because he thinks the taste is very similar to the famous tea from his hometown in his previous life.

Hiiragi Jing ignored him, as if everything she did was just by chance. She lowered her head to look at her cell phone, and after a moment her brows suddenly frowned.

“What’s wrong?” Dong Yeyu sat next to her holding a teacup.

Higashino Yu was tall and strong. When he bent down, his shadow covered most of Hiiragi Jing’s body, and a hot and powerful aura also came over him.

Hiiragi Jing glanced at him and saw that he really seemed concerned, so he said softly, “There is a demon causing trouble in Chiba County, and my relatives at home are asking for help.”

“Oh?”

Higashino Yu looked at the message carefully. It was a message sent by a demon hunter in a LINE chat group in Jinguji’s house. Judging from the avatars, the people in the group were probably new generation demon hunters – they liked to use their real photos as avatars.

It probably said that they encountered a powerful enemy, suffered heavy casualties and was unable to cope with it. The description was concise and clear, only mentioning the address. It seemed to want to briefly describe the monster afterwards, but there was nothing after just “this monster”.

Higashino Yu felt that it should have been forwarded. After all, when facing a real enemy, there is no time to take out the mobile phone and type so many words. The slightest negligence will lead to death.

Looking further down, it turned out to be a forwarded message. The person who forwarded it also posted the information of the person seeking help, and it turned out to be the demon hunter from the Jinguji family.

They received a task from the Ministry of Religion, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology to investigate the frequent traffic accidents and lost souls on the Sawayama County Road in Chiba Prefecture. Now it seems that the intelligence was wrong and the demons are much more powerful than expected.

This is not the first time I have seen messages asking for help recently, but most of them are in other areas and are not relatives or friends. In addition, Dong Ye Yu is busy with cultivation and basically does not respond to the call.

The world will not stop moving without me, and other demon hunters responded very positively to these messages for help.

After all, if we don’t help, no one knows if we will encounter it in the future. It is better to kill it together while there are more people than one.

Higashino Yu logged into the recruitment page of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology website and saw the recruitment information at the top. Many exorcists had already responded.

Dong Ye Yu glanced a few times and saw that there were some demon exorcists whose IPs showed something wrong and some of them were unreliable. How come the demon exorcists from Hokkaido also signed up? Did they fly over?
The herd mentality of the islanders is quite interesting.

After a few casual glances, Dong Yeyu’s eyes fell on Hiiragi Jing’s face. Seeing that she was in deep thought, he asked, “Hiragi Jing wants to go?”

She shook her head: “My mother has sent me a message, asking me to bring Kaori and Shiori back to Gion as soon as possible.”

Perhaps disturbed by the conversation of the two people, Kaori and Shiori exhaled a breath of white air that was as condensed as an arrow and did not dissipate. They collected their minds and looked at Higashino Yu and Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami. Seeing them sitting together, Linghui’s eyes rolled around and then she quickly closed her eyes.
