Fox Demon (A)

Suwa sighed in relief. Finally, he was able to escape from the legendary creature. After feeling sure that his position was far enough, Suwa laid his back on a large tree. Rest for a while massaging his sore legs.

This forest is very dense. The chirping of various kinds of birds and the creaking of insects could be heard clearly in the eardrums. Before it was too late, he had to get out of this forest if he didn't want to meet wild animals who were ready to make him a dinner menu.

Even though Suwa doesn't know where to go after this, at least she can be free from Falcon. And look for a quiet dwelling if necessary there are no human nuisances in it. Alone is better. Live a peaceful life, without anyone making it a puppet, which must always be moved by the puppeteer. Because Suwa no longer trusts anyone in this world. The only person he trusted was gone. Leave him forever.

"Father."

Suwa stared blankly at the sky. Missing the warm figure who always hugged her long ago.

"Father...." Suwa called again. Unknowingly a tear rolled down his cheek. Sit with your legs bent and then curled up with your head on your knees. She cried, "I miss you."

It always crossed his mind to catch up with his father who was already in heaven. But somehow, when he was desperate and wanted to end his life. Always his determination to survive reappeared. It was as if the goddess of life had always cast out every whisper of the devil to her.

And he wasn't ready to die either. Even if his life is meaningless.

Suwa lives life empty and empty. But he still uses his life which is still faithful to live in his body. Until death picks up by itself. It's complicated, but that's how he feels.

Several times entangled in thoughts of avenging the death of his family. But several times her desire always faded, when she realized she was just a weak woman who did not have any power to do that. Moreover, he also did not know for sure who killed his family. All he knew was that they were from the nobility.

The real nobles wanted his death.

Suwa's hands suddenly clenched into fists. Remembering that bloody event. Angry, sad, scared, shaking, and goosebumps all in one. His father who was so good had to die along with the rest of his family. They didn't just kill his family. But it also kills his life.

After the incident. For some reason, every human he meets always has a specific purpose. No one is really sincere to help him.

Suwa was still sitting huddled. Lamenting his fate. And...

"Wow... Finally found it."

****

Ruby stared blankly at the woman who was playing with a small monster. He wanted so badly to rip out his heart and then chop up the human body and give it to the hungry creatures out there. But he couldn't do that. At least not now. Heise would be furious.

Yes, there will come a time when he will finish off this helpless human.

"Your eyes will fall out if you look like that."

"Shut up you witch!" Ruby snorted sarcastically. Turning to look at the other person, "What are you doing here? Gosh, why are there always bullies."

Yazzi, the fortune teller, and magician who was the advisor of the darkness chuckled. The man with firm jaws but soft-faced tucks his robes and walks over to Ruby.

"Hmm... I think it's mating season for the fox nation. So I came here for~."

'BUAAKK'

before he could continue his sentence. Yazzi takes a hit from Ruby.

"You think I'm such a lowly demon to bother with that tradition." Ruby stared angrily. While Yazzi just chuckled while stroking his cheek that was hit by a fist from this beautiful nine-tailed demon.

"Ruby, Ruby I haven't even finished my sentence. But if you want to make love, I don't mind."

Ruby narrowed her eyes, "You want another hit Yazzi."

Yazzi laughed, "Hahaha, I want to get your seduction powder."

"Yazzi..." Ruby growled, almost losing her temper.

Yazzi just smiled gently. Ahh, this nine-tailed demon is indeed very unique. In everyday life, she is a woman who is so cold and very curt. But on the other hand, he can turn into a seductive woman full of teasing.

Clearing his throat for a moment, Yazzi said, "I'm here to see Heise. Discussing the next plan to find the Falcon summoning girl."

"Meilan got info regarding Falcon's trail. He is currently in Heise's room."

Yazzi nodded in understanding, "Then why are you here?" Glancing at the human girl who was in the corner of the park. He knew why Ruby was standing watching the human.

"Let's leave this useless activity of yours, Ruby." Invite Yazzi to step into Heise's room.

"Wow... Finally found it."

Suwa's body stiffened. Slowly looked up. His breath hitched when in front of him stood a tall, well-built man with a grin on his face.

"Without having to hunt. The prey is in sight." The man looked at Suwa appraisingly, "Ahh... Beautiful too."

Danger alarm. Suwa gulped. Catch something strange in the man. This man's ears are located above the head like the character Inuyasha.

Suwa's eyes widen realizing that the figure in front of him was not human.

"Si... Demon."

Get up and run away. A blow first knocked Suwa unconscious.

The fox-eared man smirked, "Bring him!" His orders were to the two men who had hit Suwa's neck earlier.

****

Suwa felt her body sway. His ears were ringing. His head felt dizzy. When he was about to raise his hand to touch the top of his head, Suwa was wide-eyed. Realizing that his body had been tied up and carried like a sack of rice by a man.

"Le. Let me go!"

"Ahh. Already awake apparently." Who is the fox-eared man who is smiling sweetly?

"Let go!" Suwa struggled. Rolling like a worm to untie the knots wrapped around her hands and feet.

The fox-eared man just chuckled. Enjoy the panic of the hunt. He kept walking until he came to a cave.
