August, Tensho 9, Hakone

The landlady told me the story, and I was sitting in my room with the usual members of the group discussing it.

Well, it was fine for Fujihime and Kaihime to be absent because of the content of the discussion, but they insisted, so they decided to participate.

The topic of discussion is, of course, the white girl who is described as a fox possession.

This is definitely an abhorrent name to begin with, as the girl's name was never mentioned while asking around, only recognized as a fox possession.

The albino is something that I don't think about, as I know the world of science, but it's something that the people of this era can't understand. People are extremely afraid of, despise, and try to get rid of what they don't understand.

They are extremely afraid of what they don't understand, they despise, they try to get rid of it, and maybe things won't be the same for a moment.

I'd love to be in that white woman's room. I want you to know the place where I live.

Ha! ...... But why would young master want to see his daughter? It's probably best not to get too involved with fox possession.

"That's right, Lord! It's not unusual for them to slip through our security and get behind the Lord. I think it's best to tread carefully here.

"Mm. ......

I get a softly negative opinion about my request. It is true that Shingoro and Matsu have a point of view. They don't want me to meet someone who is hated by the townspeople and whose identity is even more unknown.

At the root of both of them is their concern for me. I don't feel any fear for that girl.

When I look around, everyone is watching the future with concern. So it's the consensus of the two of us.

I'm glad to hear that everyone is happy. But I don't think it's the same for me as it was for that little boy.

At my words, everyone looks at me skeptically. Even Keiji, who had been meditating in silence a moment ago, was staring at me intently.

What's your basis for this, Kodo? Why do you care so much about a guy you've never even talked to?

I didn't see any sign of a threshold from that woman. I think that's why the lily pads didn't know what to do. If there are no thresholds and you have no financial connections, you are no better off than any other animal.

The ...... woman was too fleeting. It was as if there was no power to go on, and it was dimly visible at .......

I couldn't help but fall down on my face, imagining the worst possible situation.

What if that lack of presence was due to a disregard for one's own life? I'm sure you'll be able to find out what I mean by that.

You will be able to find out what is going on in the world. If you help it, even the little boy may become a target for slander. You can't get away with it.

Keji's stern words pierce my heart. Certainly, the concern is correct. You'll be able to find out what you are, and you'll be able to find out what you are.

You're going to be exposed to the critical eye even if you don't suffer direct harm because of the presence of Keji and the others. It's not uncommon for me to be the target of a bullying child's protection.

But I'm already prepared for that.

It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on it. I'm not going to be able to leave it behind.

When I spoke while looking straight at Keiji, he smiled lightly. The change was so subtle that you had to look closely to understand it, but I felt that the way he looked at it told me 'well said'.

'Kakkakkah! Hey, guys, it looks like the kid is ready to go. Well, we're going to have to be hungry too!

Yes. Even though it's dangerous, I'm willing to offer a helping hand. That's what attracted me to you, young man.

Yes. Then we can only support it.

Starting with Keitsugu's words, everyone expressed their support. I'm more proud than anything else to have such a warm group of friends.

As I was getting ready to look for the girl, I suddenly heard a flurry of footsteps.

Excuse me! I have come with urgent news of the fire, Lord!

"Good, bring in

"Haha!

The young man who came in was young in years. He was probably one of the red devils. As I recall, he was one of Katsura's men.

"Saizo? What the hell is going on?

This is Mori-sama! I'm sorry. Normally, I should have brought this to Mr. Mori's ears first, but it is an emergency.

Looking at their interactions, it seems my guess was correct. They're close in age, and I wonder if they're close?

"After all, you are a big believer in the good fortune

"Ha! My name is Kani Saizou Yoshichou! I am pleased to report to you, sir. We found a white girl in the midst of a search, living with a man we believe to be her family, whose residence is on the outskirts of town.

Oh, you found me! I was just getting ready, and good luck!

"And a group of townspeople are on the move, armed! The destination appears to be the residence of the White Girl!

But the words that followed quieted the place down. My premonition had come true.

"Shingo! Get out now, hurry up! White lily makes a report on the status of a group of people! If you are capable, you can bag a heartbeat!

"Haha!

As I hurriedly left the room, I found Genan standing in front of me. It was as if he was blocking me and testing me.

Gen'ando's ......

"Master Sambodhi, are you sure you're coming?

"Of course!

It is said that the hand of the Buddha has a paddle on it to save his troubled soul. It is said that the hand of the Buddha has a water paddle in it, to save his troubled soul. However, even such a Buddha can be left out. No one will blame you if Master Sambhava abandons her.

...... and no one is to blame? Screw you! That's never a good reason to abandon them!

If you don't try to scoop, no one will! A man who would forsake someone else for his own security would not be able to destroy the integrity of the world!

Genjian smiled quietly as his eyes widened thinly.

'It seems it was a silly question. I'm sorry, Master Sanbouzi. I will accompany you.

...... all you need to know, everyone get going!

"Haha!

We added Gen-an and headed to the girl's house in a hurry. Please, please be in time!
