Weary groans could be heard in the inner garden of the Narukami Temple. There, the great kitsune priestess and right-hand woman of the autocratic shogun Inazuma Raiden and her pet, Yae Miko, rode a wolf-like rebel boy named Goro. He crawled painfully on all fours across the stone floor, while Yae sat comfortably in the saddle on his back, her feet in the stirrups and holding the reins from Goro's bridle, the bit preventing him from speaking. Yae Miko (laughing): "Now! Hurry up, sweetie! Fu-fu-fu, what's wrong? How about participating in a vile rebellion, then right away, but you just can't seem to please the lady and your mistress?" Goro (moans from behind the bit): "Mmmmm! Mmmnnnn..." (to himself: "I wonder if the shogun also rides this impudent kitsune? Or why does this bridle smell so much like fox!")
