Xiao Karasuma's words were meant as a joke at first, because Qiao Ran, who is in a spiritual state, cannot touch the real thing.

However, after the boy really disappeared completely, Karasuma kept his gaze on the painting, and a strange smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

He stretched out his fingers, stroked the eye feathers of the boy in the painting, and said with a light smile, "Since you have come to Weifu's mansion, you have said so many things that satisfy Weifu."

"...Then as a father, I'm really sorry that I don't reward you."

------

The next day, Foxosuke lay on Qiao Ran's lap as usual, and said cheerfully, "I heard from Mr. Karasuma that Lord Judge also joined the Government of Time, right?"

Qiao Ran: ...

He touched Foxonosuke's head and said, "It can't be regarded as officially joining, all in all...just helping out."

After hearing Qiao Ran's words, the little fox wagged its tail happily, deliberately ignoring the second part of his words: "That means you have become a colleague, then you are welcome, Sir God Judge!"

He was still playing with the little fox, and the sound of the bird's wings came from the window sill.

When he looked back, he found that it was an extremely beautiful black bird. Although it looked a little fat...but the majestic crown feathers were still very eye-catching.

And on his left paw, he was holding a rolled up painting.

Qiao Ran's face was still a little strange, he didn't realize what this bird represented.

He hesitated, holding the little fox in his left hand, stood up and walked to the window sill, stretched out his hand gently, and rubbed the little bird's head.

Unexpectedly, this little bird escaped Qiao Ran's touch with a somewhat arrogant appearance, but with those aura eyes, it couldn't help sneaking a peek at him, looking at him curiously.

"This is……"

Foxnosuke looked at the black bird, and suddenly opened his mouth wide in surprise, "Master God Judge...don't touch it, don't touch it randomly!"

"It...it is, it is Lord Karasuma's divine bird!"

"Except Karasuma-sama... no one is qualified to touch its crown."

Qiao Ran's hand paused, stopped in mid-air, and then drew it back.

"...Is that so?"

Qiao Ran's expression was still a little hesitant, because the bird seemed...too fat.

As if sensing the young man's doubts about his identity, the bird psychically turned its head away, dropped the painting in its claws lightly on the ground, and flew away.

Qiao Ran: ...

Fox's help: ...

The little fox jumped to the ground all of a sudden, and he put his little eyes close to the rolled up painting, observing carefully.

"The rice paper is made of excellent material, and... the red ribbon used to tie the picture scroll seems to be the one commonly used by Mr. Karasuma."

Foxnosuke smacked his mouth, looked at Qiao Ran eagerly, and said, "Master God Judge, open it and take a look, open it and take a look!"

"This should be a gift from Karasuma-sama to God-inspector-sama... as a gift from the government when he took office."

Qiao Ran also squatted down, and he probably guessed... This painting should be the one he saw yesterday when he was talking to Karasuma.

——Actually, he didn’t think there was anything special about that painting either…

Qiao Ran frowned slightly, and gently stroked the curled corner.

"Master God Judge, hurry up... hurry up, open it and have a look! Foxnosuke is really curious!"

Foxnosuke poked Qiao Ran's calf with his small paw, his eyes were full of curiosity.

Because he really couldn't think of what kind of painting Karasuma-sama would send to the god judge... Moreover, it can be seen that this rice paper should be the kind that is always in the study of Karasuma-sama...

——Perhaps...it was drawn by Karasuma-sama himself.

The little fox was suddenly full of gossip in Xinyi, he was really curious what kind of picture Karasuma would draw for Qiao Ran.

"Well, nothing special... I remember just drawing those things in his study."

Qiao Ran shook his head, picked up the painting, and put it on the table.

Foxosuke looked at the painting eagerly for a long time, but found that Qiao Ran didn't intend to open it, so he had to retract his paw resentfully.

——Forget it, since the judge didn't mean to read it...then it's not good for Foxnosuke to open it in front of him...

He moved his little ears, thinking in his heart...

——Well, next time, I have to take a sneak peek while the judge is not paying attention.

…………

Since Karasuma got a satisfactory result, with Karasuma's acquiescence, Kokomaru and Tsurumaru Kuninaga were able to enter and leave Qiao Ran's mansion.

But this time, after Xiaohu Wan washed herself deliciously, the fluffy two locks of hair stood upright, looking more fluffy than before.

He couldn't help touching his hair in satisfaction, but what he was thinking was...

——In this way, the judge should be able to pet the little fox a lot.

Kokomaru opened the curtain, only to find that the god judge was not there, and that fox with his back turned to him was actually rummaging around looking for something.

He felt a little disappointed all of a sudden, but he saw that Fox's whole body stiffened, and he felt the footsteps behind him. When he looked back, he found that it was a tall Fu Sangshen, so he was relieved.

"So it was you, Master Xiaohumaru, you really scared me to death..." The little fox patted his chest with his little paw, and said.

Xiao Huwan had a strange expression on his face, he looked at the little fox with his head stuck in the drawer again, and asked, "What are you looking for?"

Since his whole head was buried in the cupboard, his voice also seemed hazy.

"I'm looking, I'm looking for that painting... Eh, strange... why can't I find it?"

--painting……?

Kokomaru twitched two locks of hair in confusion, he didn't understand Honosuke's actions, and just asked, "Where's the judge?"

After rummaging through boxes and cabinets for a long time, Honosuke couldn't find what he wanted, so he raised his head, jumped on the ground in frustration, and collapsed.

"Master God Judge was called away by Mr. Karasuma... It seems that he wants to teach Master God Judge something."

After Xiaohuwan heard this, the two tufts of hair on his head also drooped down.

"Really, Xiaohu cleaned himself up specially. I didn't expect that the God Judge...isn't here..."

He wanted to leave, but was suddenly held back by Fox.

"Wait a minute, wait a moment, Kokomaru-sama!"

He lowered his head and looked at Foxosuke, who was entangled with him, with a dangerous expression on his face.

Although in front of Qiao Ran, he was always so harmless and docile, like a big dog, but Xiaohumaru knew that... In terms of nature, he was a wild fox.

"Don't touch my trousers casually, Foxnosuke."

Foxosuke was not afraid of Kokomaru's aura, he saw Kokomaru stop, he let go of his paw, and said with a smile, "Don't you want to read something about God Judges?"

"……what?"

With a dazed expression on his face, Xiaohumaru squatted down.

"Sir Karasuma gave the God Judge a painting yesterday..." The little fox narrowed his eyes seriously, "The instinct of a fox tells me... there must be something weird about that painting."

"Could it be... no, are you too gossip?"

After hearing that it was a painting, Kokomaru lost his mood. After all, he didn't like some elegant things like Utama Kanesada, so he stood up and left.

And this move made Foxnosuke jump up and down with anger.

"This stupid guy is really... Huh, you will definitely regret it!"

"There must be something wrong with that painting!"

Foxnosuke gritted his teeth, and buried himself in the search again.

…………

"Karasuma's drawing..."

Tsurumaru Kuninaga, who had been eavesdropping on the corner for a long time, touched his chin.

This snow-white youth was holding an unopened picture scroll in his hand.

As a mischievous young man, he was also quite curious about what kind of gift little Karasuma would give Qiao Ran.

"but……"

It wasn't until Foxosuke searched for the painting for a long time that he couldn't find it, then he had no choice but to restore the thing again, and left the window in despair.

Hearing the sound of Foxnosuke leaving, Tsurumaru Kuninaga chuckled and turned in again. He put the painting back in Qiao Ran's drawer.

"However, it's not a good habit to peek at other people's things, little fox."

Although he also felt very curious, he didn't open it to look.

Although his nature is quite playful, Tsurumaru Kuninaga still has a steelyard in his heart.

…………

Qiao Ran naturally didn't know that when he was not around, there were already two Sword Fusangshen and a little fox secretly visiting in his mansion.

And just after he came back from Xiaohuwan, the young man who looked like a white crane leaned against the door with a smile and greeted Qiao Ran.

In his left hand, he was holding a little fox with a sleepy expression.

Qiao Ran raised his head in surprise, and saw Fox's mouth pouted in aggrieved manner.

In terms of strength, Foxnosuke is not inferior to Tsurumaru Kuninaga, but he doesn't take advantage of it, so he had to be dragged by him to apologize to Qiao Ran.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Lord God Judge..."

The little fox ran over crying and hugged Qiao Ran's thigh.

"What's wrong?"

Qiao Ran was a little surprised, he really didn't understand why he suddenly showed such an aggrieved expression.

"I, I really want to know what Karasuma-sama drew, so I secretly flipped through it for a while..."

The little fox looked up at Qiao Ran's face, and burst out a few more tears.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

The little fox said, crying quite heart-piercingly.

Qiao Ran wiped its eyes speechlessly. He really didn't know why Foxosuke was so interested in the painting drawn by Karasuma.

He opened the drawer and took out the painting.

"Since you want to see it, let me show it to you."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and untied the red belt, and the picture scroll unfolded naturally.

"Look, there's nothing there...it's just the scene of the study."

Qiao Ran raised his head, only to find that the little fox's whole body was swollen red, and Tsurumaru Kuninaga, who was watching a good show, fell to the ground all of a sudden.

Qiao Ran: ...? ? ?
