章節 18: Hikari Okami: Kitsune Prince

Hikari floated all the way to the Inari Shrine; something he didn't want to do while the human was around him.

"Was I scared of how she would have reacted being carried in the air?" he wondered, while landing on the ground.

Noticing that the shrine seemed to have a lingering scent of evil, he released a spell to ward it off and he watched as it disappeared.

Walking into the shrine, he made his way into the inner room hidden from human eyes.Discarding his Kimono and loin cloth, he entered the hot tube he prepared using his Kitsune no maho "fox magic".

Once done cleaning himself, he rose to dress. Thinking back to his time with the human, he didn't know if she could be reliable.

Even though she wasn't a usual human, he sensed a kindness from her; despite growing up in an environment where she didn't receive much love or kindness.

He thought to himself that it would be interesting to get to know her more. Hikari wandered around the shrine at the late hour of midnight, he kept putting protective spells and evil warding spells around the place.

Using his Kitsune no hi "demon fox fire", he lightened the lamps lining the entrance to the shrine, watching as they glowed in the dark.

He noticed the offering box was half full with the coins the worshippers dropped each time they came to the shrine to offer prayers for blessings.

He emptied the box, allowing it to float into the air as he read the desires of each person through the coins.

Once he was done, he took the coins into his room before heading out to go house to house, granting each desire; according to what was within his power to do.
