'Hehehe.'
After running for an unknown distance, the little guy finally stopped, exhausted, and hid behind a towering tree, panting heavily.
Although she was separated from her father and mother at a young age, the mark imprinted in her blood still tells her about the dangers and horrors of humanity.
Especially before you grow up.
Meanwhile, it cautiously used the tree trunks as cover to look behind it. Fortunately, apart from the familiar grass and trees, there was nothing in its field of vision, and the human did not seem to be chasing after it.
But how fast could one run to outrun the Instantaneous Movement technique?
Just as she relaxed and turned her small body around, a figure suddenly appeared in her field of vision directly in front of her!
And the vague sense of familiarity it evoked was none other than that of the human who had appeared beside him earlier!
This confirmation nearly scared the little girl's heart out, and with a soft 'bang,' she suddenly revealed her true form, transforming into a small, orange-red, three-tailed fox curled up on the grass, while her exquisitely crafted little shrine maiden costume fell to the ground.
The three-tailed fox no longer tried to escape.
Because she had realized that the human she had encountered today was the legendary Onmyoji, so there was no point in trying to escape.
Just like the scene she saw on the hill that day.
She never saw her father and mother again after that day.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."
Seeing this, Huang quickly began to explain.
But such words were clearly inadequate, as the little guy continued to tremble without any sign of improvement.
Sensing the little fox's fear, Huang was at a loss for what to do.
The outstretched hand wanted to comfort the poor little guy, but it withdrew before even touching its furry little body.
"This shrine maiden outfit looks great on you. Did you make it yourself?"
Ara pointed to the shrine maiden's robe that had fallen to the side and changed the subject.
Because you can clearly feel the owner's love and care for this garment, which has almost no wrinkles.
Sure enough, when the shrine maiden's outfit was mentioned, the little one's trembling body stiffened for a moment, and her outstretched little paws instinctively tried to grab her beloved little clothes.
But when her dark, demonic eyes touched the human Onmyoji who hadn't left, she swiftly withdrew her little paws.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. I just saw you crying sadly when I passed by, so I was a little concerned."
"Then I'll move further away."
As he spoke, Huang took dozens of steps backward.
"Okay, is this alright?"
Hearing the human's words and the gradually receding footsteps, the little fox seemed to gain some sense of security and mustered up some courage to look at the human Onmyoji.
Of course, its little paws reached out and immediately grabbed the well-made miniature shrine maiden outfit into its arms, clearly showing how much it cared about the garment.
Then, she transformed back into human form.
Her short black hair was somewhat messy, and her clothes, mostly materialized from demonic power, were worn and rough, incomparable to the shrine maiden outfit she held in her arms.
The little one remained silent as they gazed at each other, looking back timidly and cautiously, with clear tear stains still visible around his reddened eyes.
"Did something happen?"
"Perhaps I can help you."
"These are flower petals that fell on you. You must have come here from somewhere else."
Huang reopened the topic, extending his palm and spreading it out. The night breeze carried the object hidden in his palm toward the little guy.
Those were a few petals from a late-blooming cherry blossom.
Perfect, beautiful
It must be a cherry tree growing on a high mountain; otherwise, it would be impossible to find such vibrant blossoms in the summer.
Of course, if a powerful demon or Onmyoji is using demonic or magical power to control the surrounding temperature, then that's a different story.
As the cherry blossoms drifted towards him in the wind, the little guy's eyes clearly showed a hint of dazedness.
She stared blankly as they drifted by, her small hand, which had been tightly clutching her shrine maiden robe, unconsciously lowered it and reached out to grab the cherry blossoms.
The fallen petals, drifting in the wind, could not escape the little creature's grasp. As her palm slowly opened, they lay quietly in the girl's hand. The little fox, who had not yet fully transformed into human form, stared at the petals for a long, long time before finally raising its head to look at the human Onmyoji in its field of vision. This time, a soft voice escaped from its slightly parted pearly teeth.
"I am a monster."
"Ok, I know."
Huang nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.
"I also have many monster friends."
"for example........."
As he spoke, he snapped his fingers.
Instantly, a deep blue pentagram summoning array appeared on the ground.
The sudden surge of light and yin-yang magic terrified the little fox, who then pretended to pick up the shrine maiden's robe that had fallen onto her lap and hide behind the giant tree.
However, her movements quickly came to an abrupt halt.
In that fleeting glimpse, what appeared from the summoning circle was not some ferocious and terrifying being, but rather, a small creature of roughly the same height.
"That wretched Lord Ara!"
"Why are you calling me so late? Komatsumaru is just getting ready to sleep after a long day!"
As soon as the little squirrel appeared, it couldn't help but accuse the wicked instigator in front of it.
In order to complete the task assigned by that damned Onmyoji, she traveled from east to west and from south to north in just a few days, running all over the entire Seven Corners Mountain. She also carefully arranged each scroll in all directions of the forest. Just when she wanted to take a long-awaited rest, she was summoned back by the Onmyoji!
While righteously accusing someone, Komatsumaru secretly gloated while crossing his arms and glancing at the expression of a certain Onmyoji.
[Even Shishio and Lord Ichimokuren weren't summoned, yet they summoned me, Komatsumaru.]
[Hmph, I really am the most important and indispensable one!]
"Considering your previous help to Shichikakuyama, I, Komatsumaru, will reluctantly grant your request."
"Speak,"
"Is there anything that requires me, Komatsumaru, to handle personally?"
His lazy voice carried a hint of reluctance and pride.
However, Huang completely ignored the little devil's self-talk and bypassed the little guy who was trying to show off, saying to the little fox not far away:
"This little squirrel is one of them. If you ever go to Seven Corners Mountain, I think you will become friends."
At this moment, Komatsumaru, who had been ignored, suddenly realized something and, following the direction of his Onmyoji master's finger, saw the yokai girl with only three tails.
"Hey, where did this little girl come from?"
"Lord Ara, this is a little fox you kidnapped from somewhere, it's so cute."
Her bewitching eyes shone brightly.
"I am Komatsumaru from Shichikakuyama, if you would call me 'older sister'."
"I'll treat you to some pine cones."
"Hey, your clothes are so pretty, did you buy them from the human world?"
As it spoke, the clever little squirrel took out a plump pine cone and was about to walk towards the monster girl in its field of vision.
Such an overly familiar attitude, and the mention of the shrine maiden's outfit, immediately made the three-tailed fox's expression even more complex. However, it was definitely not the joy of seeing another yokai, but rather a sense of bewilderment. In fact, as the former approached, her small body subtly moved backward, and the shrine maiden's outfit became slightly wrinkled in her gradually clenched hands.
She was clearly worried that her most treasured possession would be stolen by this monster who called herself her older sister.
Huang noticed this.
Therefore, Komatsumaru's attempt to lure him into a trap failed, and his forward steps were halted by the outstretched hand.
"Alright, alright, this is none of your business."
"It's so late, you should go back to sleep."
As soon as she finished speaking, a pentagram array similar to the one before suddenly appeared beneath her small feet.
Such a hasty summoning and repatriation immediately made Komatsumaru realize that his role this time seemed to be to prove that his own Onmyoji had other yokai as shikigami!
"?"
"That damned Onmyoji!"
"I'll beat you up!"
In an instant, Komatsumaru, who had been pinned to the spot, turned around and started baring her teeth and claws at Ara. Because of her small arms and legs, which prevented her from reaching the former, she even threw the pine cone in her hand at the bastard Onmyoji who was right next to her.
I will send this gift to you.
"Bye-Bye."
This attack, launched in a fit of rage, was naturally ineffective and was easily countered by Huang.
Furthermore, as the teleportation light gradually dimmed, Komatsumaru's figure also disappeared.
After the mischievous imp disappeared, the little fox seemed to gradually calm down, and the fingers that were tightly gripping the shrine maiden's outfit relaxed a little.
However, thanks to the commotion caused by the former's appearance, the atmosphere between her and Huang was somewhat eased, and she no longer felt the initial fear and resistance towards the latter's approach.
"That kid is a bit naughty, but overall he's a good boy and wouldn't steal your clothes."
"Look, you must be a little hungry after running so far."
"Eat without worry."
Ara handed over the pine cones he had 'seized' from Komatsumaru.
The little guy didn't take it right away.
However, the sudden protest from her belly and the inescapable predicament led her to finally accept the food offered by the former.
With a gentle bite, a subtle fruity aroma immediately spread throughout his mouth, making him unable to resist taking big bites.
She quickly finished eating the pine cone in her hand, and even licked the corner of her mouth with her pink little tongue, revealing her cute little tiger teeth.
