When I opened my eyes, there was a Japanese fox next to me. The place is the same as in the love fire.

''Tact-han?　Are you sure you're okay?　Your face doesn't look so good.

The ordeal of Noah was hard on me...

Spiritually!

"We'll be competing with Noah... what should we do?

We'll be fine. Let's go.

Yes, sir.

And then I met Kutenkuse-sama.

"Well you're here. You know what the ordeal was about?

Yes!

Then let's get on with it.

When Kutenzu-sama produces the sacred water, Wa Fox drinks it all at once and falls over.

Will the Dark Wufu appear? What's it like? The Japanese fox is calm and gentle, so she's angry and gives a lot of orders. Or maybe a Yakuza Wufu?

I don't know what to do... unfortunately, I've never had to deal with people like that in my experience. I used to have a part-time job with people who scolded me all the time, but I wasn't good with them.

Then the Japanese fox glows and evolves. Huh! You're early!

'Waxxu has evolved into a Hermit Beast. Dance skill has evolved to Kagura skill.
The fox technique [Shrinetail] has evolved into [Hermit Tail].
''I've acquired the Flame Manipulation, Other Mind Control, Divine Foot Control, Spiritual Talisman, Shikigami, Protector, Sacred Qi, Sacred Art, and Iichuan.

The evolved Japanese fox has a different miko outfit design, just like Koibibi. Like Koibibi, it also has a feathered robe. It differs from the Koibibi in that it has long sleeves and a different flower pattern. In addition, there is a mysterious bamboo tube at her waist.

If she evolved, we should check her status.

The names are the same after all, but the abilities are different. The focus is on the first sighting of the spirit, the shikigami, the amulet, and the izuna.

Then the Japanese fox awakens.

"Ah, that?

Wufu nods his head. Even Wafu doesn't seem to know what's going on. I look at Kutenshiro-sama and he explains.

'She's a girl who has been training as a priestess at the Nine-O's all her life. I've always thought that if you give her the opportunity to be unstable or not in the yin and yang like the love fire, or if you give her the opportunity with sensui, she can evolve.

Oh~. It's the quintessential Japanese fox. It's good that a Yakuza Japanese fox or something didn't come out.

''But this girl has a problem apart from her power. I'll make that a real test. Get ready to fight.

Fight? My God... no way... he was a Chimera, I think... ah.

You... recovered his soul along with the others, didn't you?

'What?　No way...

The Japanese fox also seems to have learned what the enemy about to appear is.

That's what I'm talking about. You could have made it disappear as it was, but you should be the one to draw the line between you and them. Isn't it?

...I think so. Takuto-han, can you help me?

Of course. Isn't that good?

Yeah. It's just so tactless to split up.

The Japanese fox turns red after being told by Kutenkuse-sama. Ku...surprise.

After that, I hand over the bacus paper to Wa Fox at his request. Apparently, the spirit mark, shikigami, and guardians are skills that use paper.

If you ask me in detail, the Reishiju is an attack skill. It's a skill that deals explosive damage of the attribute given to the Spirit Talisman. Here are the talismans I made this time.

A talisman: Rare Level 5 A talisman Quality C
Effect:Divine Attribute Damage (Large), Bomb Damage (Medium)
A spirit mark that causes sacred attribute explosive damage due to the effect of the finist's brush pen.

This is how it happened. You really got a good one from Finist.

And a shikigami. This is a familiar one. Apparently, when you make a paper doll, you can see the images through the doll.

It's a reconnaissance skill. I wanted to use it to attack the Karth Pirates. I don't think I'll be using it this time.

Next is the amulet. This is a support skill. Apparently, having this amulet in your possession cures abnormalities, reduces damage, and provides buffs.

The advantage of this is that it activates just by taking it with you, so there's no chance of getting an item out. Furthermore, it seems that the buffs do not overlap.

The disadvantage is that it is automatically consumed, so you will spend it even if you don't want to. This isn't the case with buffs.

For buffs, you'll need to take them out if you don't want to use them.

Here's what Wufutsu made.

Talisman of Attack: Rare Level 5 Talisman Quality C
Effect: Increased muscle strength (medium)
A protective amulet that increases muscle strength just by having it.

Defense amulet: rarity 5 amulet quality C
Effect: Defense up (Medium)
A protective amulet that increases your defense just by having it.

I have an offensive amulet. Wafu has a defensive spell. Now I'm ready.

And sad news. The Bacchus paper is gone...well, that's okay. I can make it after the event!

Finally, I decided on a plan only. It's to fulfill Wafu's request. Let's do our best, shall we?

Are you ready?

"Yes!

You can move on.

The landscape changed as the Sky Heavenly Foxes clapped their hands.

The place was full of craggy rocks with fire spewing from everywhere. It's just like hell.

And we're in a place that looks like a dueling arena. I think we're too well prepared.

I take out my scarlet ring and step out in front of the Japanese fox. I nod, and Kutenshiro-sama makes an enemy appear.

A dark summoner?
?　?　?

He's the one who tormented the Japanese fox.

'An?　Where is it?　What's here!

Tsk...I missed. This wasn't a match, so I tried to end it in a moment with a shrug, but it's not going to be easy... but I'm not going to miss!

I kicked the dark summoner away with a kick.

''Huh~. Teeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

The shrinkage takes him by surprise again. It's quicksilver to deal with the scarlet ring with his bare hands.

'What the hell!　You are!

He uses a kick. He gets it!

Wufu!

'Yes, sir!　'Protector of the Attack!'

I grab the dark summoner's leg.

'What!　Whoa!

I swung around and threw it at the Japanese fox. I had decided on this one.

'Nah!　You are!

Black Flame!

It's not working!　It's not like that!

When he disables the black flame, he hits Wafu. However, Wafu guards him with a defensive amulet.

''Wha, what?''

A slap from the Japanese fox exploded on the dumbfounded dark summoner. That sounded good - it looks painful.

''Na...teeeee!　Vixen!　What do you want from me?

It's over. Izuna!

Five small foxes jump out of the bamboo tube at the Wa Fox's waist and attach themselves to the dark summoner, causing the dark summoner to go into a state of sickness and possession and collapse.

''Nah, what the hell...''

Iizuna is a skill that allows him to control the specter tube fox. The tube fox has reification and possession skills, and has the power to make the possessed sick.

No matter how many summoning skills you disable, that's one thing. If the five tube foxes attacked him, there would be no room for one more.

When the Japanese fox throws a spirit mark, the spirit mark moves freely and sticks to the dark summoner and detonates. He takes another big breath.

''Hermit Breath!''

Big deal?　Defensive

The tube foxes would not allow such a thing. The dark summoner was hit by a pure white breath, and this time, the dark summoner disappeared without a trace.

''Good work. You did a great job...Wa Fox.''

That's because Tact Han listened to my selfishness. Thank you very much.

Then Kutenkuse-sama comes.

"Yeah, you slapped him. Do you feel a little better now?

'Yes, sir!　Thank you too, Sky Heavenly Fox.

You don't have to thank me. From now on, you should support your Lord without worrying about the past.

Yes!

Nice smile.

'You see, the ordeal is over. Next time you won't be as nice, so be prepared.

Kaiten Fox-sama clapped his hands and returned to the present. Then he was suddenly hugged from behind by Noah.

''...Nii, I've been waiting for you. I want some chocolate.

No, I can't.

...blow up.

Ugh! Don't tell me that guy in Noah... you're calculating this! He's terrifying! But the Japanese fox grabbed Noah by the neck and peeled him off.

'You can't do that if you embarrass Tact Han. 'Noah.'

"...Mmm. Waxx will take Nii's side?

Of course. You are my summoner.

The Japanese fox leans in to deposit his body. Ku... what the hell! This is so embarrassing!

Oh, my sister finally got serious...

You can't go easy on him from today. If you don't take your time, you'll get ahead of me.

'You can't do that!　I'll do my best!　I'll do my best!

No, even if I told you... we both laughed at the desperate love fire. Well then, let's check Noah's abilities before the event ends.
