She panicked, limping and jumping, her sparkling black eyes blinking pitifully. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info she has no other way but to pin her hopes on the person in front of her.

The hounds came after them with their owners, and she shivered as she hid behind the man's legs. The hound barked from afar, a low growl from deep in his throat, as if ready to pounce at any moment.

The man didn't seem to be afraid of anything, he was dressed in cloth, and he looked extremely thin, but when he took a step forward, it implied an incomparable might, even a dog that relied on human power did not dare to move forward, as if he had been beaten, he made a "whine" sound, and slowly retreated backwards.

Although she was invisible, she felt the majesty.

"It's Master Rito!" The hunters who had heard the sound and shouted when they saw the man.

Hearing this, the hunters lowered their hands with bows and arrows and looked at each other. The little fox hiding behind him raised his triangular head and looked at this person, as if the man in front of him was a big man, and it didn't look extraordinary, maybe because he looked at people with fox eyes, and he always felt that people looked similar.

"Master Rito, this evil animal came to the village to steal chickens to eat, and told us to catch them, and we have to cramp and skin them today!" A hunter stood up and said, a group of people hesitated to act, there will always be such a person.

"God has the virtue of a good life, and I just happened to meet it, and it is a kind of fate. The sage cloud, the gentleman is to the beast, seeing his life, he can't bear to see his death. Please give me some thin noodles and let it live. ”

"Since the master said so, we can't pursue it anymore. If there is a next time, it will not be spared. ”

"Thank you." Although it is a polite old ceremony, the man does not feel cumbersome at all.

The hunters dispersed, and the hound did not understand why he would give up the prey in his hand, and sniffed unwillingly in her direction, before withdrawing from here with the group.

"Whew-it seems that this fame still has some effect at a critical time." The man squatted down again and held the little white fox in his arms, with fine stubble on his jaw and thick calluses in his broad palms, and his movements were extremely gentle when he stroked her back. "It's all right. Rest assured, although forgiveness is never easy, and kindness is actually too luxurious, but it is also the duty of human beings. ”

He hugged her curled up body, spoke softly to her, and walked into the cabin.

"Dad, what's going on outside?" She heard the voice of a little boy who was not very old, but the expression on his little face was like that of a little adult.

"Huh?! It's a fox! Then came a little girl's voice, soft and glutinous.

"Be careful, this beast bites." The boy stopped his sister.

"If there is no hostility, it won't!"

"yes, if you're not hostile to animals, it won't hurt you." The man said with a smile, taking out a few bottles of ointment from the cabinet next to him, Ahri, who was still a little white-haired fox, saw that there were a lot of bandages and bottles and jars in it, and it seemed that there were a lot of medicines for treating external injuries.

The little girl still wanted to touch her, but the boy insisted that it was a potential danger and did not let his sister come closer. The man washed her wounds clean, and the blood stains on the snow-white fox fur were also washed away. At this time, the little girl touched her head, and Ahri narrowed a pair of small black bean-like eyes, trying to look as kind as possible.

The cold ointment was applied to the wound, and after the initial stinging pain, the feeling gradually became much more comfortable. Finally, tie it tightly with a white bandage to prevent the wound from being broken open again.

"Alright." He clapped his hands, "But you can't run around yet." Alright Zeroth, this little guy is very docile, you don't need to be so protective of Irelia. ”

"Ellie is my sister, I don't protect her, and who will protect her. Before...... Who protected my mother before? The boy was angry, and his bulging face turned red.

The man's gaze was like a frightened bird for a moment, with nowhere to live, and finally he smiled. "Yes." Then he gently stroked the fur of the little white fox and said nothing more.

The little boy's name was Zeroth.

The little girl, his sister, is named Irelia.

The man who saved her was called Rito. He was a powerful swordsman, once had his own gym, and was even employed by Ionia's Guardians as a trained sword master.

The Ionians believed that the sword was the king of a hundred soldiers, and that there were many swordsmen, and there were many people who sought the way of the sword. He was able to get this special encounter, probably because his swordsmanship reached the realm of being able to breathe and breathe, but his moves were very practical and could be promoted. Regardless of the form of swordsmanship or the realm reached by sword intent, he is a true master.

Ahri always felt that it was super powerful to be able to achieve both at the same time.

He fought with a sword, squandered the blood of his youth, and then reaped fame and love. Even though he is now living in seclusion in the mountains and forests, Ahri still sees many young people following a vague clue in the market, and in order to apprentice or come to the door to "ask for advice", which is the elegant teaching method of "challenge".

The reason for the seclusion, as Ahri saw, was that there was no mistress in the house, and Master Rito's wife had died in childbirth, and he was in the middle of a showdown with an old rival of the Tempest Kendo in the gym, and he never even saw the last face of his beloved wife.

Since then, he has closed his door and simply lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, no longer using a sword or a challenge, he has neglected his family for too long for the sake of swordsmanship, and he hopes to make up for everything from now on.

That's impossible, because the people are gone. Ahri thought.

As the children grew up, Ahri would sometimes carry the animals to the door, and later, when she took on a human form and gave birth to the Nine-Tails, the first thing she did was to visit Master Rito's house.

Zelos is still the same as if he was not approaching, and he used to think that it would be better to be careful with the beast that could bite people, but now that he sees her in human form, he thinks that this is a demon, and sooner or later he will harm people.

Every time Ahri accidentally heard him teach Irelia like this, she couldn't help but muttered in her heart, humans still hurt foxes, and she didn't discriminate against them or anything.

Irelia became her friend, and Master Rito was not afraid of her strange appearance, with fox ears on her head and a white tail behind her. He recognized her at first sight, and Ahri didn't know why, she felt that she was completely different now.

The blue-haired and yellow-eyed nine-tailed demon fox is completely different from the pure white little fox before, right?

Master Rito just smiled and asked her, "Why is the hair blue?" I thought it would be white like your tail. ”

Ahri tilted her head and thought for a moment, then raised her white and slender palm, and the orb appeared in her palm, and it slowly swirled in the air, filling it with blue light.

"Maybe it's because of it."
