Unable to understand what was

happening, Touya froze. It was like the wind had a mind of its own.

The unseen air turned into a blade, attacking the fox.

“Heeee!”

There was a shout along with a burning smell. It was then he realized for

the first time that it wasn’t just wind. It was difficult to see in

the light of the afternoon, but it was a flame. A dancing blue flame

attacked the fox’s body. Eventually the fox disappeared all of a

sudden. The area become quiet as if nothing had happened. He knew the

danger was already gone, but Touya gulped as he continued not to move

for a while. The fox said something mysterious.

Hand over

what you stole, and, what an annoying tiger.

—Tiger?

Who?

That night, after dinner, Touya told Kiri he had

something to talk to him about. Natsuki and Akio, completely

misunderstanding, told them to take their time, and shut themselves

in their room, but what Touya wanted to talk about wasn’t what the

children were hoping. It was about the fox from this afternoon. Also,

about the strange things he said.
