Korin said nothing for a moment, more nettled than he would have admitted that Yuu could have saved him an hour or so. He didn't like it when people knew more than him about subjects he was supposed...

"Just do my job, why don't you," Korin said, disgusted. "We can't go yet, I need to find Tanaka-san. There are certain human concepts such as payment that you may or may not be familiar with. Excuse...

"What's the matter?" Korin said, only half-catching Yuu's words but sensing his distress. "Who's gone?" He followed Yuu up to the shrine itself, trying to see where he was looking. "You mean spirits?...

"Inari-sama," Yuu corrected automatically, not thinking anything of it. He was too busy being confused to get upset about the improper mode of address. "This doesn't make any sense!" Yuu exclaimed,...

"You mean people have been worshipping at an empty shrine?" Korin said, unsettled. It wasn't that you generally expected your prayers at shrines to do much, but it was still unnerving to think every...

This won't help you. That was not entirely true. Had Korin been paying any attention to Yuu he might have noticed the moment that the silvery-haired man became a fox, or the moment in which said...
