In the dark and deserted shrine, big and small milky white foxes are eating fried tofu sushi around the boy and girl.

One of the very big foxes was sticking to the girl, asking the girl to feed him.

"Although it's called a small fox, its size is not small at all." The girl giggled and scratched the 'big fox' leaning against her.

'Small is just a word, not a description.Don't human species often have names like small trees and small flowers? The fox, about the size of a mastiff, replied while devouring the fried tofu sushi Gu Yu fed him.

... so reasonable, I can't refute it.

The girl was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and hugged the big 'Little Fox'.

"Okay... let's talk about the business now." Gu Yu whispered into the fox's ear, "You didn't call me here just for my bag of fried tofu sushi, did you?"

'You are really very smart, Ji Dian. ' Xiaohu said again in Gu Yu's consciousness.

"I came here in the middle of the night so painstakingly, either I have something to ask for or what I need - the legendary foxes are not creatures that can do nothing for nothing."

'As you can see, the shrine where I live has been forgotten and dilapidated. 'The fox flicked its tail, and the sudden appearance of foxfire illuminated the surrounding environment.

The originally neat slate floor was now full of weeds and moss, and the fine pieces peeled off from the whole and fell everywhere.Most of the places that were originally houses were left with wreckage, only the room in the middle that looked like it was enshrining something still barely maintained the appearance of a house.

'The gods that we accept human offerings will naturally decline due to lack of offerings. '

"Then, do you want me to help you bring in believers again?" Gu Yu blinked, thinking that this would be a huge problem.

'No. The white fox shook his head, "This place has long since disappeared in the present world, and mortals cannot come here to pay homage."If anything, we are probably foxes that have disappeared along with history. '

The white fox, whose brows and eyes were not clear, said this, but there was no sadness in his tone.

"That……"

Gu Yu felt a little sad.I can't tell what the reason is, it's just that there is a little bit of sadness.

'Everything has reincarnation, and we, who are called gods by humans, are no exception. The white fox rubbed Gu Yu's cheek affectionately, "Therefore, I have a merciless request, I hope to use Ji Dian's blood to complete the process of reincarnation as soon as possible. '

'In your blood, there is the smell of spring rain that revives all things.With your help, we should be able to usher in a new life in the not-too-distant future. '

"...how much blood do you need?"

Gu Yu responded almost without hesitation.

'One spoonful of wooden spoon used to clean hands is enough. '

"Just like this?"

The girl who was used to bloodletting didn't think it was such a difficult request.

'Yes——in exchange, we can use the clean water that can wash the body of His Royal Highness Fusangshen behind you in exchange. '

"...Then, I'll give you a little more blood, can you change some more spring water——I'm just joking." Although she said she was joking, her expression didn't mean that.

After all, if one spoon is exchanged for one spoon, she has so many knives, it is not enough.

'Greedy Ji Dian. The white fox laughed in Gu Yu's consciousness, "His Royal Highness Fusangshen, who are valued by you, are really very happy." '

"They have been going through life and death for me, I can't say nothing at all."

Gu Yu answered very naturally.

'Since this is the case, I will use Inari's righteousness to ask Jidian to exchange a spoonful of blood for a spoonful of clean water. '

The white fox answered very readily.

"Deal!" Gu Yu rolled up his sleeves, revealing his scarred wrists.

"Wait, General, you—"

Although I didn't hear the conversation between Baihu and Gu Yu, Yao Yan is very familiar with Gu Yu's movements - every time she needs to use the general's blood, she will show her wrist to him like this.

"It's okay, Yaken, I just made a little deal with the little fox." Gu Yu said, putting his wrist on top of the wooden spoon that the shrine used to clean his hands, which the little fox got from.

"General—" The boy sitting not far away looked nervous and was about to rush over, but was blocked by dozens of foxes, big and small, about one meter away from the girl.

"I know what I'm doing, Yaoken, trust me, okay?"

The girl looked at Fu Sangshen with a smile, the firmness in her clear eyes made Yaken unable to say anything, he could only stand there holding his own body, and smiled wryly.

"General... always doing embarrassing things."

"I'm still a child—"

The huge white fox somehow cut a wound on the girl's wrist.The bright red blood snaked down the girl's wrist and fell into the wooden spoon below.

"Eh... is it because the 'God' cut it? It doesn't hurt much."

Gu Yu looked at the bleeding wound in surprise.

"general!"

"Ah, I was wrong—"

Gu Yu admitted his mistake very quickly.

After a while, the not-so-deep wooden spoon was filled with Gu Yu's blood. Then, another empty wooden spoon was brought over. When the second wooden spoon was also filled with blood, the white fox came over and licked it. Gu Yu's wound, the wound that was bleeding profusely, healed slowly.

Not even a scar remained.

"It's amazing, if only I could do such spells." Gu Yu couldn't help sighing.

If she knows how to heal, she should be able to avoid a lot of suffering - Yaken and them don't have to look sad every time they see their wounds.Although I told them not to mind it, the hard-headed Fusangshen couldn't let it go.

'Unfortunately, this is a fox technique that humans cannot master. The white fox chuckled, "Come on, Ji Dian, please come and fetch clean water now." '

The white fox got up and signaled Gu Yu to follow him to the back of the shrine.

There is a small living pool behind the shrine.Although it is only a little bigger than the mouth of an ordinary well, it can make Gu Yu feel the cool and stinging water vapor blowing towards his face.

Under the illumination of the fox fire, the pond water is still glowing, very beautiful.

'It's a pity that this is not drinkable water, otherwise Ji Dian would be fine if he drank a spoonful. The white fox shook its tail, looking at Gu Yu who was looking at the spring water curiously, "Although it used to be an Inari shrine, it was not a shrine that prayed for forging rather than farming. '

"..." Actually, I didn't understand, but it's better not to ask why at this time... just.

'Come on, Ji Dian, please go and get your reward back. '

Gu Yu walked to the pool with an empty wooden spoon.

"Huh? Is there... a knife?"

Just when Gu Yu probed the wooden spoon into the pool, he found a knife sticking obliquely under the not-so-deep pool.The whole body is pure white, and only the handle is golden. Although the knife has been damaged, it can still see the beauty of the victory period.

"It's also a very beautiful knife."

The girl who didn't know anything about weapons, but had begun to appreciate swords after staying with Fu Sangshen for a long time couldn't help but sigh.

'Do you like it? '

"It's beautiful."

It's not easy for her to judge things that don't belong to her by whether she likes them or not.Gu Yu dipped the wooden spoon into the water, scooped up a full spoonful of water, handed it to Yaoyan behind him, then picked up another wooden spoon, and scooped up another spoonful of water.

'In this case, is Ji Dian willing to take it away? '

"Eh?"

"It is only natural that things created by humans will eventually return to humans—but after all, they are contaminated with the blood of foxes. Even if they fall into a deep sleep, they still retain their wildness. If you don't pay attention, you may be bitten. oh?"

'So Ji Dian, do you want to try it? '

"What will happen to it if... I don't take it with me?"

'Maybe I will enter a new reincarnation with my generation, or maybe I will fall into silence with this place... who knows? '

The white fox flicked its tail irresponsibly.

Gu Yu even felt that he could see an evil smile from that fuzzy fox face.

"What a casual fox."

'My generation is such an existence. '

Gu Yu sighed, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to touch the white handle of the knife obliquely inserted into the water.

"...Although I still don't quite understand, but if you want, you can go home with me." Gu Yu's hand had just touched the water, and his fingertips felt like they were cut.

In fact, her hand was indeed cut.Although it wasn't deep, traces of blood were bubbling in the pool.The closer you get to the handle, the more you feel cut.

——Is this the so-called wild bite?

Gu Yu shook his head.

It seems that he will be a very individual child.

There were many small wounds on Gu Yu's hand that looked like frostbite, but she finally held the delicate white handle of the knife.

"Come on, let's go home."

It was not very smooth, but Gu Yu finally pulled it out of the pond.At the moment when the broken but beautiful blade left the water, Gu Yu felt a blur in front of his eyes, as if the world turned upside down for a moment.

"Eh? Huh?"

After regaining consciousness, Gu Yu blinked, and found that Xiaotan, which was supposed to be in front of her, and a dozen foxes, big and small, were gone.Instead, the familiar streets of the mortal world.

"Ah... did I have a dream?" Gu Yu looked around blankly.

"Not really, General."

Yaken Toshiro, who had been standing behind Gu Yu, walked to Gu Yu's side holding a wooden spoon full of water in his hand.

"You still have the knife you pulled out of the pool in your hand, don't you?"

Eh?

Gu Yu raised the knife in his hand.

"...I always feel like I had a dream." Gu Yu sighed, "But it also seems to be tricked by civet cats... foxes or something."

"Speaking of this—General, it's almost dawn." Yao Yan pointed to the sky that was already slightly bright, "If you don't go back, your classmates will find that you are gone."

"Ah, that's bad, then this child will be handed over to Yaoyan for you to take care of, and I'll go back first!"

As Gu Yu said, he stuffed the long white knife in Yaoyan's arms, and hurriedly ran to the window with a gap open.

If it is discovered, it will be a big problem!

"call--"

Seeing that his general hadn't been able to climb in smoothly for a long time, the boy Fu Sangshen, who was holding things in both hands, sighed.
