When Tsukasa Kurihara woke up, the pain of a comminuted fracture in his body made him almost unable to get up, and his eyes were dark, and he just stood up and sat down on the ground.

He closed his eyes and gritted his teeth and rested on the ground for a long time before he regained his strength, and went up in one breath, the pain at this moment was much worse than the impact of his memory when he first came. And it adds a large part of physical discomfort.

In the pain, he felt a wave of energy slowly repairing his body, especially the shoulder blades behind his back, and a steady stream of energy washed over and over the broken body.

I don't know how long it took for Tsukasa Kurihara to be able to think about what happened.

His memories begin with Nishijima, passing through Watanabe Police to Strange Tales Prison in the middle, and then Ada, Furball, Dilapidated Shrine, Yasumo Shouyi, Beyoshi, and Oshima Shin. There are also the palace divisions of Hieda Shrine and Inari Shrine - Kamo Izuhiro and Okami Katsuko.

Accepted the strange talk of human jealousy for a living, gray pure.,Pretending to be an onmyoji who intends to walk the world as a human being.,Received a request from the great god Katsuko to protect Akane.。

That's right, Akane.

Tsukasa Kurihara remembered the fox's marriage, and when the sun rained, it was the day when the fox left.

At the behest of Hiroshi Hayakawa, he travels to the Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine in Kyoto, where he is led to an obscure realm by an earless fox when the sun goes down. A group of stone foxes are holding a festival on the meadow.

The shrine maiden who dances in the festival is Akane - Akane who is controlled by a transparent thread.

When he found out this, Tsukasa Kurihara only felt that his anger was surging, and he couldn't care about anything else, and he went directly to Kitarashi to fight. He asked Ash Chun and Furball to deal with the puppets under Beiliang's hands, and he himself carried a knife to find Beiliang.

During the battle, he helped Akane remove the transparent threads on his body, and when he was about to make a real move with Beiliang, he suddenly had an out-of-body soul and was imprisoned in a transparent space in the sky.

He saw the line above Beiliang's head in the space and realized that it was also a puppet, and then, the glass shattered.

He felt only a great pain, and after a moment, it seemed like an eternity, he fainted. The time to wake up again is now.

As his memories returned, he could feel his body becoming normal under some kind of energy repair.

He opened his eyes, but the slightest light made him feel glaring, and he raised his hand to block it. After a while of habituation, take your hand away.

In the east, a round of golden sun is slowly rising, and the warm sunlight is shining on the entire mountain top little by little, so comfortable that people can't help but moan.

Just as Tsukasa Kurihara was sitting on the ground and stretching his body, a black shadow ran over and pounced on Tsukasa Kurihara and almost pounced on him, only to find that it was a majestic black dog with standing ears.

The black dog looks a bit like Demu, but it is larger than Demu, and creatively dots two points of white on the eyebrows. From this point of view, it looks like a neon native Shiba Inu.

"Lord Demon!" The black dog put his two front legs on Tsukasa Kurihara's shoulders and barked wildly, saying a canine language that only Tsukasa Kurihara could understand, "You're not dead!" You're still there! It's really great! ”

Good guys, this turned out to be a hairball. Tsukasa Kurihara was slightly surprised. In his memory, the hairball was still in the form of a ball, but now it suddenly became a big dog, which is very different.

Tsukasa Kurihara pinned the hairball's head to the side and said, "Settle down." ”

Tsukasa Kurihara got up while controlling the hairball, and looked around to find that he had returned to the real world, and the meadows that could not be seen in the valley were gone, replaced by the scenery that could be seen everywhere on Mt. Inari.

Tsukasa Kurihara heard the chirping of birds and the chatter and laughter of pedestrians, and it seemed that he was about to reach the top of the mountain. In addition to this, Tsukasa Kurihara saw a white fox slumped five meters away, its body covered by a human kimono. He knew it was Akane.

He walked over and took Akane in his arms, and found that there was a little blood on its white fur, and there was no bare skin on its limbs and back, and his brow furrowed.

It was at this time that pedestrians arrived at the top of the mountain and saw Tsukasa Kurihara.

Tsukasa Kurihara's current shape is very peculiar. There was a majestic big black dog beside him, holding a white fox in his arms, and the light of the sunrise made him faint with a golden edge, looking like the legendary son of God.

The pedestrians—that is, the staff of Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine—froze, no one said a word, and stared blankly at Tsukasa Kurihara.

Tsukasa Kurihara looked at them, his calm and deep eyes without a trace of emotion.

I don't know who knelt on the ground first, and the people next to him also made the same movements, and someone murmured: "Messenger of the gods." ”

Tsukasa Kurihara didn't pay attention to them, hugged Akane, and followed the hairball down the mountain.

And the staff who made the kneeling gesture didn't have time to stop Tsukasa Kurihara, they were still immersed in the divine picture just now, and when they came back to their senses, Tsukasa Kurihara was already far away.

Pets are not allowed on the Shinkansen, so Tsukasa Kurihara can't take them, and walking back to Tokyo doesn't seem realistic. Just when he was at a loss, he received a call from Hiroshi Hayakawa, and the other party was very excited: "Kurihara, Kurihara-san, my grandfather is really back!" Thank you very much! ”

Tsukasa Kurihara raised his eyebrows and replied, "It's good to go back." ”

He remembered that Hayakawa Daichi and Katsuko Okami also appeared in that interface.

"Still." Hiroshi Hayakawa added, "My grandfather was in a strange situation, and he was saying words that I didn't quite understand. And he didn't come back alone, and there was an aunt who looked, well, very temperamental. Two people suddenly appeared at my door, and the aunt said that my grandfather's eyes would not be able to see from now on. ”

Speaking of this, Hayakawa Hiroshi was a little angry, but quickly sorted out his mood: "Kurihara-san, where are you now?" I'll pick you up. ”

Tsukasa Kurihara said the name of the station.

"Okay, please wait fifteen minutes."

Fifteen minutes later, Hiroshi Hayakawa showed up on time, and he greeted Tsukasa Kurihara in a white Toyota. Tsukasa Kurihara walked over, and the changing hairballs around him made Hayakawa Hiroshi puzzled for a moment, wondering when did Kurihara-san bring the dog? Or is it this type of big dog? All he remembered was that Tsukasa Kurihara had a doll that looked like a dog.

Hayakawa Hiroshi raised his eyes again and saw the fox in Kurihara Tsukasa's arms, and his eyes widened even more.

This is a trip to Inari Mountain, obviously I went to the pet market!

Tsukasa Kurihara opened the door, the hairball jumped up consciously, and Tsukasa Kurihara sat in the back seat again, so that Hiroshi Hayakawa didn't have time to ask anything, and drove forward for a few minutes before asking.

"Kurihara-san, these two are just ······"

"Picked it up."

“······· Picked up on Mt. Inari? ”

"Hmm."

The corners of Hayakawa Hiroshi's mouth twitched, but he didn't ask any more, at this time Tsukasa Kurihara looked at him through the rearview mirror and asked, "When did Hayakawa-san go back?" ”

"Half past six." Hiroshi Hayakawa immediately replied, "I used to wake up late, but today I don't know what happened, and I woke up at half past six. Not long after I woke up, I heard a knock on the door. Then I saw my grandfather and that aunt. ”

"Half past six." Tsukasa Kurihara thought about it, it was seven o'clock when he woke up, but he didn't know how long the situation lasted when he couldn't open his eyes in pain.

"Is there any problem, Kurihara-san?"

"No, just ask, I feel like I should say something."

“········” Hiroshi Hayakawa had nothing to say.
