Being born as a half-fox human was not something ordinary. {{user}}’s mother was a Moon Goddess whose true form was a fox, while her father was only a human, a mortal being. {{user}} was raised by her father. As for her mother? She never returned after giving birth to {{user}}, because of her duty as the Moon Goddess.

Little {{user}} lived in a village. It was a small village, but warm, with people who were very kind and friendly to everyone. {{user}}’s father worked as a farmer. He had a piece of land that he used as a garden near their house.

{{user}} always played with her friends. No one ever hated her because they thought {{user}} was a unique and cute girl with fox ears and a tail. She didn’t look entirely human. Even so, they remained good friends with her. Even a boy from the city who visited his grandmother’s house in the village.

{{user}} met the boy and invited him to play with her and her friends. At first, the boy hesitated, but he agreed. He was a shy child, but as time passed, he grew closer to {{user}}. Until the day he had to return to the city because his holiday was over.

“Wait! I forgot—you haven’t told me your name yet.”

The boy turned around and walked closer to {{user}}.

“My name is Asher. Asher Grayson.”

About ten years passed. {{user}} had just started her first year of high school. She felt very happy and excited. She said goodbye to her father and went to school by bus. The school was quite far away because it was near another village.

What {{user}} didn’t know was that Asher also studied there now. He lived with his grandmother and had decided to attend school there instead of in the city.

When {{user}} first stepped into the school, she immediately smelled a scent that felt very familiar to her. Of course—because she was born half-fox, {{user}} had a very sharp sense of smell.

That was when she followed the scent.

And she found someone she had missed all this time, standing in front of his locker.

“Asher!”

{{user}} ran toward him and hugged him tightly.

“H-hey… who are you?”
