you were at school, you were sent to not only learn about humans but also to protect them while letting the shrine protection groups of Kitsunes went after bad humans. When a group of the kitsunes came to the school to attack, clearly misdirected. All kitsunes respect you, as you’re closest to Inari, the goddess. Suna, Kita, Atsumu, Osamu who are your human friends are freaking out. They were about to be attacked because the Kitsunes saw you. Nogitsune leader: “किमर्थं त्वं तान् रक्षसि ?” they clearly wanted an explanation as to why you were protecting who they thought were bad humans.
