Hyukjin’s half-hearted explanation lifted the heavy atmosphere that had settled down at the shrine a little, but the exorcists were still wary of me and prepared to attack at any time.

A face full of determination to attack immediately if you do something foolish.

Hyukjin, who saw this, giggled like a crazy person and made a suggestion to the exorcists.

“Why don’t you relax your battle stance and wait until the shrine’s representative shaman appears? Wouldn’t the representative shaman who called you be able to tell the difference between fortunes?”

“That’s true, but I can’t relax my battle stance. You never know when that monster will attack.”

“No, so that idiot won’t attack unless you attack first? look! Even if you tease me like this, I won’t do anything!”

Hyukjin, who was talking briefly with the old exorcist, looked back for a moment and came closer to me.

“Honestly, isn’t a cat better than a fox? There’s less hair flying around and it’s neater.”

He uttered words that I could not possibly hear.

Even if it’s just a joke, it’s too much. Is this guy serious?

So, are you saying that the reason I clung to that cat, Cosre, and laughed so hard during the day was because I liked that bitch more than I did?

You said no, you just took a picture with the character because you like it?

Did you lie to me? Even more than that, is it better to have a furry beastman instead of a fox beastman with nine adorable tails?

Tears came to my eyes.

Normally, I would get angry and retort when people say that foxes are worse than cats, but strangely enough, now I just feel sad.

Did I develop a sensitivity that wasn’t there before?

As I shed tears from emotions I couldn’t even understand, the exorcists began to murmur upon seeing the scene.

‘I heard it was truly irredeemable trash, but I never thought it would be that much trash.’

‘You’re more of a demon than a demon… How can you openly say you’re cheating on your lover in front of him?’

‘Isn’t that too pitiful for the youkai? Ugh, I’m going to slap you in the face and tell you to break up with me.’

The exorcists were whispering in low voices for fear of being overheard, but Hyukjin was not one to miss those words.

Only then did Hyukjin realize what he had said, and he became restless and began to hastily comfort me.

“Hey, hey! Why are you acting like this all of a sudden? You weren’t like this before! Drop, drop!”

“Black… Ugh…”

“Oh, no! I did everything wrong!!! Because it’s all bullshit! Please don’t cry, okay? How the fuck can a cat rub against a fox? Fox is the best, the best!!!”

He hugged me and patted my head, and I, who finally regained my composure under Hyukjin’s touch, buried my face in his chest and quietly opened my mouth.

“…is that really true?”

“Yes! Is there any better animal in the world than a fox? From the sweet tail optimized for large daughters to the long snout optimized for blowjobs! Foxes are the worst…”

Kang!!!!!

Hearing the endless flow of foul language, I took out a folding frying pan that I had hidden and hit the guy on the manly head. I smiled as I saw him sprawled out on the floor.

“If you tell me nonsense about cats being more annoying, I know it won’t end there. Got it?”

“Keu… What, do you mean to say that you will at least pretend to be a pure lover while incarcerated?”

“Shut up, fuck. Is sex really the only thing on your mind?”

“That’s the same for you too, bitch. Who told you to apologize and have sex first during the day?”

“…Well, that is.”

I can’t say anything.

Here, ‘My mom said that if you do that, you can relieve men’s anger! So I said, ‘What did you say?’?

Even if I succeed in Tallulah, the damage I will take will be greater.

Fuck, I’m not a fire attribute filial daughter. How can I tarnish my parents’ faces? It’s only right for me to become a lewd bitch.

Could he have kept his mouth shut, thinking about what he said during the day?

The old exorcist sighed deeply and lifted his fighting stance.

“Just by listening to that crazy conversation, you can be sure that it is not a disaster. Rakshasa? Congratulations! You have found a companion that suits you well.”

“I take it as a compliment, old man. But when on earth is that old shaman coming out? You’re not the only one who called me like this and ran away, right?”

“That can’t be possible. The shrine maidens of Tamae Shrine are famous for having a strong sense of responsibility as well as pride. There is no way he would have called exorcists from all over the country and run away alone.”

“Then why on earth isn’t it coming out? It’s been a while since I came here? Grandma, aren’t you so scared that you won’t come out?”

When Hyukjin, tired of waiting, complained loudly, the shrine door opened and a scary-looking old shaman appeared.

“You are still rude and ignorant, Rakshasa. Who are you telling me you ran away from?”

“Wow! Grandma didn’t run away? By the way, it’s been a really long time, grandma! My wrinkles have also increased a lot… Doesn’t the god I serve not take care of me?”

“…”

At Hyukjin’s words, the smile on the old shaman’s face disappears and becomes distorted.

A face that looks so upset that even a clueless person would think, ‘Wow, that person is really angry.’

Hyukjin, who was looking at the old shaman’s face, chuckled and said playfully.

“Just kidding, kidding. The problem is that grandma is always serious?”

“Don’t you think your joke is crossing the line?”

“Well, I think it’s less of a line than making customers wait without saying anything.”

Hyukjin erased all his mischief and glared at the old shaman with cold eyes. At this, the old shaman hardened her face and immediately bowed her head and apologized.

“It was because there was too much work to do before the disaster came. I apologize for making you wait. I’m sorry, Rakchal.”

“It’s okay to be sorry, so when will the reward come? According to the fortune telling, it has to come before midnight today, but isn’t it almost midnight now?”

“It’s strange even to me. Obviously, the white-faced golden-haired nine-tailed fox that was sealed in the killing stone must come to the shrine and cause trouble, but how…”

The eyes of the old shaman who was looking around as she spoke caught me, and she immediately opened her eyes wide, pointed at me with her hand, and screamed.

“It’s a fortune!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

—–

There is once again an uncomfortable silence within the shrine.

An old shaman who declared it was a misfortune, but was embarrassed that no one attacked her.

The exorcists are seriously contemplating whether to attack or not.

Lastly, Hyukjin and I were confused at being treated like a fortune again.

The awkward atmosphere that was maintained for a short time became heavy again under the old shaman’s shout.

“What are you doing now, everyone? There’s a fortune right in front of you, so why don’t you attack? We must attack and seal it immediately!”

“…Huh, Sakura miko? No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think that’s a fortune?”

“What are you talking about? That’s a fortune! Can’t you tell just by looking at that handsome face? Doesn’t it have the appearance of the white-faced golden-haired nine-tailed fox described in the book?”

The old shaman started screaming and talking about the nine-tailed fox that appeared in the book.

“Putty, fluffy ears that I want to touch! Nine soft and cuddly tails that make you want to bury your face in them! No matter how you look at it, that is a golden-faced nine-tailed fox! Attack now!”

“Ha, but it’s too dull and insignificant to be called a fortune, right? Can you say that is a real fortune?”

“That’s all acting! Don’t you know that foxes, especially nine-tailed foxes, are good at acting?”

“No, I know that much, but… doesn’t that look too real?”

An old shaman urging the exorcists to attack, and the exorcists who are confused and refuse to attack.

Seeing a situation that was no different from a real mess, I got out from behind Hyukjin’s strong back and started walking towards the old shaman.

Jerk. Jerk.

As soon as the sound of footsteps is heard in the noisy shrine, the surroundings instantly become quiet.

Do you think I’m about to do something dangerous?

The exorcists and the old shaman took out their weapons and looked at me nervously.

What on earth is this golden-faced nine-tailed fox that is so wary of me?

I’m sure the fox god wasn’t slandered and sealed with that name in the past, right?

But if it’s golden hair, it’s golden hair, right? The fox god is Eunmo? What happened?

My mind became confused for a moment, but I immediately shook my head to shake off the complicated thoughts.

That’s not important now.

I have to prove that I’m not a genius and I’m not harmless at all.

This is the first time I’ve been to Japan in my life, so it doesn’t make sense to be treated like a villain, right?

The fox beast is a lovable being that you want to eat, not a villain that needs to disappear.

Even more so.

“Did you just say that they have prickly, fluffy ears that you want to touch and soft, cuddly tails that make you want to bury your face in them?”

“…!”

Why do they treat fox beastmen like villains when they love them so much on the inside? I really don’t understand.

I approached the old shaman, handed her a soft, fluffy, and adorable tail and said,

“You seem to want to touch it. Would you like to touch its tail? You can bury your face if you want.”

“Don’t be funny! Do you think I will give in to that temptation? A talisman for a monster like you…”

“Don’t do that, just see if you feel it. Why are you pretending to hate it when you like it?”

Before the talisman was thrown, I struck first and wrapped the old shaman’s face with my tail, and soon the old shaman who was wrapped in the tail began to make sounds of death.

“Cluck cluck… Cough… Cough…”

A scary sound that will take your breath away if you close it just a little longer.

He quickly released the old shaman’s tail and let her go, but the old shaman’s condition was already very serious.

Every time you sneeze, golden hairs come out of your mouth, and even nosebleeds drip from your nose.

The old shaman, who had been spitting out hair a few times, fainted after a while, probably because her respiratory system was weak, and I slapped my forehead and remembered what I had forgotten.

“… Now that I think about it, I’m in shedding season, damn it. ”

As a small sigh echoed through the quiet shrine, one of the exorcists cautiously raised a question.

“Isn’t that a real fortune?”
