——Is that a fox?

——Is it a talking fox? Is it a monster?

——If it is a monster, why did it show up now?

These questions were like layers of green leaves climbing up the branches, successfully taking root in the hearts of the crowd watching this scene.

The white-haired fox hummed "Oh ah oh ah" twice, and the Kyoto accent really made people feel numb. She narrowed her slender eyes and first swept the eight feet that were full of displeasure. After being swept by the fox's golden pupils, the latter was like a balloon full of water being punctured, and the fierce aura flowed out.

Then, she cast the same emotionless glance at the slightly ferocious Snow Girl.

"You two are really noisy. But, children need to be more energetic..."

The Snow Girl raised her chin and said, "Yin, are you taking advantage of your age?"

The fox called "Silver" smiled.

"Compared to these new generation monsters, Xiaoxue isn't that young, is she?"

The appearance of Yin brought an end to the battle against light pollution.

She waved her sleeves lightly, and everyone felt the temperature rise suddenly with A Yin as the center. Then, golden fox fires appeared in the air and surrounded the area.

However, rather than "enclosing them", it is more like trapping Yasha and the Snow Girl inside.

This is not an attempt to discourage, but an overt threat.

If the Snow Woman and Yasha show any sign of not stopping the fight, the fox fire will hit them, and they will be the ones who suffer in the end.

The foxlight reminded people of the densely packed lanterns that filled the shrine during worship, and at night, the solemn mystery was even more intense.

Ah Yin narrowed her eyes and smiled, "After all, I am also of this age and don't like to exercise. Let's put an end to the fights between children."

Beside her, there were several more gorgeous flames floating, and the golden color was actually shining with red light. When several flames gathered together, they looked like a golden-red lotus.

Facing the overt and covert threats against her, the Snow Girl made a sarcastic remark with a wry smile.

"It seems that even a fox that has one foot in Shinto cannot change its nature of pretentiousness."

She said this without paying any attention to the uproar her words had caused.

——A fox that entered the Shinto path?

Legends about foxes are common in Japan, both large and small. There are many famous foxes, but when it comes to Shinto-related ones...

Sakaguchi Ango, who was watching the situation closely, pushed up his glasses and began to think about possible targets.

A colleague next to me whispered, "Inari God?"

He shook his head. "Strictly speaking, foxes generally refer to the messengers of the Inari God, not the Inari God. However, if a fox lives long enough and cultivates to a very high level, it seems that it can also possess godhood..."

At this point, even Sakaguchi Ango himself found it absurd - these unverifiable legends of monsters and gods had become their only basis for judging each other's origins and information at this time.

However, Ayin on the other side of the screen was smiling lightly and didn't take the Snow Girl's words to heart at all.

Hachisha unwillingly placed the knife in front of him, cursing several times, such as "Damn it", "What a nuisance", "Wouldn't it be better if you were a few seconds later?" His angry face was printed on the knife.

As if he hadn't heard anything, Yin happily concluded: "——Well! Then let's just say you two are living in peace, okay?"

Ah, what kind of standard mandatory speech is this? It's like the dean trying to smooth things over - someone secretly thought in his heart.

Of course, there is no such thing as a beautiful head teacher with fox ears, this is not butter.

"But we still need to prepare some preventive measures for willful children..." As she said this, she raised her hand again, and two streams of fox fire actually shot directly into the bodies of the two monsters.

"Don't worry, as long as you don't kill each other, minor fights won't have any effect. I don't like to restrict you too much, I just do this to prevent Dana from being sad when he sees one of you get hurt..."

The Snow Girl's cold expression just now showed a slight wave. She curled her lips and said, "If it weren't for the unreasonableness of Bashi, how could something happen that displeased that lord?"

"You should also say less." Yin knew Xue Nu's temper and advised her to stop.

Naturally, passers-by also heard these words and did not miss the key words.

From a passerby's perspective, if this were an RPG game, "Danna" would definitely be highlighted in the dialogue box here, indicating that a new character has appeared.

For them, it is known that the Yuki Onna and Yasha are at odds because Yuki Onna's behavior involves Kuen, who is favored by Yasha. And the newly appeared fox demon named Gin can easily subdue Yuki Onna and Yasha, and she seems to have someone to serve, which she calls "Danna".

In addition, it can be inferred that the Snow Woman and Yasha have known each other for a long time, and this Gin is above them... and even higher in status, and there is also a person who is respectfully called "that adult" by the Snow Woman.

This is the limit of what ordinary people can speculate.

The official knew early on that there was a master behind the scenes who had never appeared. The appearance of Yin once again added a heavy touch to that master.

According to Gin, she has one foot in Shinto. Being able to make such a monster obey her will once again raise the rating of the master behind her.

"Just this statement..." Sakaguchi Ango thought calmly.

The two people are called "Danna". There are many possible relationships between them, such as husband and wife, master and servant, merchant and customer...

It's too difficult to judge, let alone draw a conclusion lightly.

Ah Yin didn't care at all that she was still being watched. She smiled and reminded the two monsters again, asking them to stop attacking each other, and then said slowly: "...Okay, now you can't make any more noise. I'm going to go find someone."

As they were talking, someone in the crowd suddenly asked loudly: "Excuse me! Are you a monster? Or a god?!"

Ango Sakaguchi shouted "Good question!" in his heart. He stared at the screen, waiting for Gin's answer.

"Oh? Why do you want to know this?"

Ah Yin did not answer directly. She looked at the person who asked the question with a smile.

Being stared at by such a pair of beautiful eyes, the man embarrassedly spoke out his true feelings -

"Because……"

"...You stopped the fight between the Snow Woman and Hachishaku-sama. I wonder if it was because... well... you wanted to help humanity, so..."

He spoke incoherently, but the others still understood what he meant.

On this side of the screen, Ango Sakaguchi and his friends were also discussing.

"So that's how it is. The Sky Fox's appearance should be to stop the Snow Woman and Hachishaku-sama." The young man next to Ango was writing and drawing in a notebook while expressing his thoughts. "The Snow Woman makes a lot of noise, and the same goes for Hachishaku-sama... If humans and monsters coexist, their behavior should be crossing the line, so the Sky Fox is here to punish and restrain them..."

His companion next to him said, "How did you guess she was a celestial fox?"

"It feels like it," the man said, "and... doesn't the mythological history say that the Sky Fox is already halfway to becoming a god, and once it advances to a higher level, it will truly possess godhood?"

Only Ango Sakaguchi was not so optimistic.

Gin is here to stop Yuki-onna and Hachisha?

If that was the case, why didn't she show up earlier or later... With so many opportunities, she could have stopped everything, right?

Not to mention that she didn't show up even when Hachisha was on a killing spree, so her companions' guess was most likely wrong.

She appeared at such a coincidence, it seemed that she only showed up to stop the two monsters from hurting each other during the fight.

It's like human police are stopping humans from harming each other.

Yin seemed to have heard something interesting.

She hid her smile with the corner of her clothes and said softly, "I am the Judge."

"The Judge?" The man who asked the question was stunned for a moment, then said, "...Is it to restrain the monsters from doing excessive things in the human world?"

Not only him, but everyone else was also looking forward to Yin's affirmative answer.

However--

"No." Ah Yin continued, "So that's how it is. You have such a wonderful misunderstanding..."

Sakaguchi Ango looked at that smiling face and thought that his premonition seemed to be coming true.

"My job is just to help Lord Dan manage his group of useless guys and prevent them from hurting each other while sharpening their claws."

Ango had already guessed the result, so he wasn't too disappointed.

After all, we are not of the same race, and it is an unrealistic luxury to expect monsters to have pure kindness towards humans. It seems that this half-god, half-demon fox has no desire for humans, which is already the best thing.

However, her next sentence changed his fantasy again -

Ah Yin's eyes widened, and he said as a matter of course: "If you want to mediate between monsters and humans, why don't you go find that young master? If it's a human matter, I'm sure he would be willing to intervene, right?"

The implication in her words was self-evident. The so-called young master was none other than Huangquanchuan Jiuyuan.

Sakaguchi Ango: “…”

...But will Huang Quanchuan accept those who have hurt him without any hesitation?

Sakaguchi Ango couldn't imagine it - after all, Yomikawa was just a teenager. After suffering such a series of unfair treatments, could he still maintain the innocent kindness he had at the beginning?

When he thought about how those people had taken it upon themselves to go to Huangquanchuan to set a trap, and now that they had stirred up a hornet's nest, they found that they still had to rely on him, those who had long been fed up with those people's behavior must have laughed out loud at this moment, right?

When I thought about the fact that some of those guys were indeed timid and cowardly, they might really come to the young man's house with tears in their eyes and beg him to help.

Sakaguchi Ango, who had been targeted by the enemy faction before, actually felt like he had gotten some relief.
