The stone fox stopped, turned to look at Tsukasa Kurihara, he raised the gong in his right hand and waved, and the foxes behind him all stopped their movements and made a way to connect the stone fox and Tsukasa Kurihara.

At this time, Shi Fox opened his mouth and confided in his voice: "Kurihara-san, the festival is underway, please follow me." ”

Tsukasa Kurihara first looked at it, and then looked around at the stone foxes that had gathered, as if they were revering him, but as if they were surrounding him.

"You've learned ten out of ten to force people with force." Tsukasa Kurihara said.

Shi Fox smiled and shook his head: "No matter what circle you are in, Kurihara-san, this is not exclusive to humans. I sometimes wonder why people become spirits of all things. Later, after living for a long time, I will understand. Isn't it unfair that we will be worth a few hundred years of age? ”

"But it doesn't matter. We also have our strengths. If you live longer and spend a little longer, there will always be a chance. Stone Fox said confidently, "That's why we invite you to our festival." ”

Tsukasa Kurihara once again glanced at the eerie scene, and in front of the stone fox, the towering rocks parted, and the grass on both sides also separated.

A road leading to another place appeared, and Tsukasa Kurihara could faintly hear another piece of laughter and singing.

And the stone carvings of the Inari fox that came to life returned to their original state, as if everything just now was just a dream, but the earless stone fox in front of him, who was still waiting for Tsukasa Kurihara to take a step, proved that what happened just now was not a dream.

"Please come in." Shi Fox said with a slight bow.

Maoqiu whispered, "This is Qingqiu?" ”

Tsukasa Kurihara shook his head imperceptibly, and he walked over to the stone fox, half a position behind it. The stone fox led Tsukasa Kurihara forward.

When he was about to reach his goal, Tsukasa Kurihara said, "An entrepreneur who is quite influential in neon, an onmyoji, and the president of Inari Shrine in Tokyo." What a carefully selected participant. ”

The stone fox's footsteps paused as Kurihara Tsukasa spoke, and it was shocked in its heart, could it be that this onmyoji knew something? But Shi Fox did not turn around to show his emotions, and maintained his usual expression: "All the time." ”

"Because the paradise has been recorded, there are still people who are concerned about it. And there are many more things in the world that disappear over time. Tsukasa Kurihara said, "Which side do you think you will be?" Or is that why you invited us? ”

At this time, the stone fox completely stopped and turned to look at him, and a "serious" expression appeared on his smiling face.

Tsukasa Kurihara has a smiling expression, and the two of them seem to have changed roles. At the moment, Tsukasa Kurihara looks more like an old fox.

The stone fox wanted to say something, but in the end it didn't say anything and led the way again.

In the field that Tsukasa Kurihara called the source of foxes, it was still night, with a round moon hanging high in the sky and silver moonlight scattered all over the ground.

On the ground is an endless meadow.

It's obviously in the middle of Mt. Inari, but there is a meadow in the valley where you can run horses, which is incredible no matter how you look at it.

But that's what happened right in front of my eyes.

The grass is fertile, the wind blows waves, and a kagura dance is being staged on a stage fifty meters away, except that the performers are foxes.

The performer is a fox, the performer is a fox, and the audience is still a fox.

Most of them wore short coarse cloth clothes that were common in the Meiji period, and a handful of them wore hunting clothes that only nobles could wear, and most of them were plain and looked very quiet in the moonlight.

And among the foxes there were two people.

One is Katsuko Okami, who is known to Tsukasa Kurihara, and the other is an old man, with gray hair and beard, who should be Hayakawa Daichi as Hayakawa Hiroshi said.

After Tsukasa Kurihara stepped onto the grass, he led his earless stone fox to disappear into a cloud of smoke, and the rest of the route led Tsukasa Kurihara forward with a furball.

The bonfires around the stage were replaced by fox fires, and in the glow of the fire, three rows of fox shrine maidens dressed in white and red dresses danced the kagura dance in unison. The upper body is straight, the head is crowned, and the spirit sweep is held in both hands and walks lightly.

As Tsukasa Kurihara walked by, they also changed formation to the music.

In fact, they are more like people with fox faces than foxes. All these actions are present in human sacrifices, and it is not clear for a moment whether humans are the first to have such activities or whether they are the first.

A fox noticed Tsukasa Kurihara, and it also lacked a corner of its right ear, like the prototype of the stone fox with missing ears before.

The Earless Fox said something to the servant beside him, and it came to Tsukasa Kurihara and led him to the front to watch the stage.

Soon, Katsuko Okami saw Tsukasa Kurihara, and her eyes were vaguely asking Tsukasa Kurihara for help.

Tsukasa Kurihara didn't respond to Katsuko Okami, he was more interested in the earless fox in front of him.

The earless fox said, "Kurihara-san, come here, and our ceremony will officially begin." ”

Tsukasa Kurihara didn't respond to the question it asked, instead asking, "Is that Inari stone sculpture at the end of the Senbon torii a stone sculpture yours?" ”

The earless fox responded cheerfully: "Yes." ”

"I see." Tsukasa Kurihara said, "It seems that you are also an oracle. ”

The earless fox was a little surprised, but soon, his eyes showed reminiscence: "It was almost more than a hundred years ago." If you didn't mention it, I almost forgot about it. ”

"Then again, you know my name, but I don't know what to call you yet." Tsukasa Kurihara half-jokingly said, "This seems like I'm a little rude." ”

"It's a poor thought out." The earless fox suddenly realized, "I'm Beiliang." The north, the south, the north, the good, the conscience. ”

"Kitara-san." Tsukasa Kurihara said, "It's a pleasure to meet you. ”

The earless fox Beiliang also responded to him with a smile: "It's a pleasure to meet you." ”

After some questions and answers, the relationship between one person and one fox quickly became closer. Because of the arrival of Tsukasa Kurihara, the atmosphere that was clear before has changed, at least there is an atmosphere of chatting.

Perhaps it would be considered disrespectful to talk and laugh like Tsukasa Kurihara at a shrine festival in real life, but for foxes, it is better to have such a relaxed atmosphere.

Previously, he deliberately suppressed himself in consideration of Katsuko Okami and Hiroshi Hayakawa, but the appearance of Tsukasa Kurihara allowed Kitarashi to return to his true nature.

Hayakawa Daichi next to him looked at Tsukasa Kurihara strangely, not quite sure why this young man appeared, he thought that the foxes invited all the old people. But that doesn't seem to be the case today.

While chatting, the Kagura dance on stage is also going down unhurriedly.

Three columns, four rows, twelve fox shrine maidens put on the final formation and stepped down from the stage, and immediately after, four foxes came out carrying a man wearing a gorgeous kimono and raising his hands to cover his face with long sleeves.

"Bang!"

I don't know what instrument gave the order.

"Bang Bang!"

The people on the stage slowly put down their long sleeves, lowered their heads, and hung an ornament on the center of their eyebrows with a complex and gorgeous crown on their heads, low eyebrows and pleasing to the eyes, and the black moles at the corners of their eyes were breathtaking.

"Wow~~~" The fox in the audience was amazed, "It's really worthy of being a divine envoy, and the human form that is conjured up is too beautiful." ”

The person with gorgeous costumes on the stage is none other than Akane.
