"What's that?"

The figures that burst out of the forest had a humanoid appearance, but they had no clothes on their bodies, and their surface was a kind of rubber-like skin. Their facial bones are strangely deformed, a low roar of grinding teeth emanates from their mouths, saliva trickles down the cracked corners of their mouths, and their bodies beneath their skin are so bony that one can imagine that they are in a state of extreme hunger.

If Shiki was here, he would immediately recognize it, it was the ghoul he was tracking. But even without knowing what kind of creature it was, Miyuki could sense the sheer appetite that came from them, which hungry beasts would send out when they found their prey, and there was no doubt that they were all enemies.

They were chasing the wolf, but after spotting Miyuki and the little fox, they immediately shifted their target, maybe in their eyes the much smaller Miyuki and the little fox were easier to deal with, or maybe they preferred human flesh to the beasts, in short, they had taken Miyuki as their prey.

There were four ghouls in the area, some of them standing on the ground, some of them climbing on trees, and then attacking at the same time.

Ghouls are fast and agile, and the lush branches of the trees do not hinder them at all.

"Ahh!!hh

In the blink of an eye as the ghoul came, the little fox took the first step. She stepped her feet, stretched out her half-leaning body, and leaped into the air. In front of her was a ghoul who had fallen from a tree, and the little fox waved its claws at all, not giving the other party a chance to dodge at all.

Ghouls with humanoid body shapes are by no means really the same as humans, their strength can be light against several adult humans, but in front of the little fox's claws, there is no power to resist at all, and the ghouls are knocked to the ground with one claw, and their bodies stir up a large area of dirt.

Miyuki had already understood the little fox's strength, so she didn't worry at all, and focused on her enemies.

A ghoul rushes at him like a hound, and Miyuki clenches his scimitar and swings it at the enemy.

Get out of the way!

At the last moment, the ghoul jumped up to dodge the slash, and then tore at Miyuki.

Miyuki quickly took a step back, and the ghoul swept past her, attacking and falling on a large tree, causing the branches and leaves to shake violently.

After a short encounter, Miyuki had determined that her opponent's strength was much weaker than the Dire she had encountered, but it was faster and more flexible.

The ghoul, who hadn't hit Miyuki, climbed up the tree, and another ghoul pounced.

Miyuki didn't want to let herself be besieged, so this time she didn't retreat but advanced, as if she was going to fight the other party.

The mana-infused scimitar slashed through the air, and the ghoul's claws swung at the same time.

"Drink!"

The speed of both sides is almost the same, but because Miyuki uses a scimitar with a longer attack range, she hits her opponent first.

The blade pierced through the chest and stabbed into the enemy's body, a blow that was fatal.

But the ghoul who had turned into a corpse still pounced under the effect of inertia, and the power passed along the scimitar into Miyuki's hand, but this had long been expected by Miyuki, so she removed the power from the side of her body.

Eliminating one of the ghouls, Miyuki, didn't let up in the slightest, because she knew that there was another one staring at her.

Almost as soon as Miyuki pulled away from the corpse of the previous ghoul, the ghoul from the tree swooped down from above.

A menacing attack, if you are sneak attacked, you will definitely be seriously injured, but after being seen through, it becomes a trick that kills you.

Miyuki swung her knife and slashed away, and the ghoul who fell from the sky couldn't avoid it at all, and was stabbed in two.

Jumping from the sky when you can't fly is really the way to die. While avoiding the ghouls' spilled blood, Miyuki couldn't help but think so.

After taking out the two ghouls, Miyuki turned her gaze to the little fox. The little fox was standing there, and the other two ghouls had already been dealt with.

"Are you alright?"

Although she knew that the little fox was more powerful than herself, Miyuki couldn't help but ask, after all, in terms of age, the little fox was not yet a month old, and if you think about letting such a baby fight monsters, it is no longer comparable to hiring child labor.

"Wooh."

The little fox jumped over, of course, there was no injury on her body, and those two miscellaneous fish were probably not enough for her to exert her muscles.

"Is there anything like this in Gensokyo?"

Miyuki looked at the ghouls, and didn't know why she always had a feeling of familiarity.

"Huh?"

"It's fine."

Miyuki shook her head and didn't think much about it.

"Let's move on."

"Ahh

Moving on, although they had eliminated those enemies just now, the cold feeling they had felt before had not subsided, but had become stronger and stronger as they advanced.

There will be such a change, and there is likely to be something ahead, but Miyuki doesn't remember that there is such a place in the Forest of Magic.

Carefully moving forward for a while, the feeling of the temperature dropping became more and more obvious, as if it had returned from spring to winter.

Miyuki, who had already changed into spring clothes, couldn't help but shudder, she looked at the little fox's side, obviously wearing that kind of short skirt-style kimono, and her two white thighs were exposed, but the other party didn't react.

"Won't it be cold?"

"Huh?"

The little fox looked puzzled, its tail wagging back and forth.

"That's nice."

Miyuki's gaze kept moving left and right with the swing of the little fox's tail.

“……”

"Huh?"

"Sister Miyuki wants to ask you for something."

Miyuki looked at the little fox with sparkling eyes.

“？”

The little fox blinked.

Miyuki quickly looked left and right, and after making sure that there was no one around, she hugged the whole person without waiting for the other party to answer.

"Ahh

"So happy~~~"

Miyuki hugged the little fox's tail and felt the softness and warmth coming from above. In fact, she has long wanted to hug and see, but usually the little fox is always tired of the four seasons, and she is embarrassed to speak, this time there is no one around, she can finally get what she wants.

"Woo~~~"

The little fox snorted intoxicatingly from its mouth and seemed to enjoy the physical contact.

"No wonder the four seasons are going to become Lolitacon."

Just as Miyuki said this, a voice suddenly came from not far away, and she jumped up in fright.

Then I saw human figures appear one after another from between the trees.

"Damn! It's just this time! ”

Looking at the enemy that appeared, Miyuki was annoyed and angry.

Ghouls have appeared one after another, more than four, and the number continues to increase.

"Let's go!"

"Ahh

Without the slightest hesitation, Miyuki and the little fox rushed forward
