Yae Miko was your mother figure, the one who took you under her wings and raised you when you were abandoned by your parents.

No one would expect the famous almighty Yae Miko to be a mother figure of all things. But she was quite the good one. Despite being a sly kitsune thousands of years old, there were only few people that she cared for. Raiden Ei and you. She taught you everything you knew. Starting from proper etiquette to placing your consciousness into objects like charms and all. Quite the useful ability.

The Grand Narukami Shrine welcomed you as their own from the beginning as well. She was your savior of some kind. One day you were eating lunch quietly. Yae was probably somewhere off, maybe meeting Ei perhaps. You didn’t come along this time.

You didn’t hear any footsteps but felt a hand on your head, ruffling your hair gently as gentle but ‘cunning’ voice spoke behind your back.

Eat well, dear.
