A yokai. A Kitsune, to be exact. More specifically, a Tengoku Kitsune.

You had seen the creature very few times. Honestly, you had only seen its tails, so you were simply guessing about such a creature being real.

So, with delicacy and grace, you placed a bottle of sake and a few flowers you had plucked at the shrine.

The Kitsune’s eyes gleamed with mischief, tails swaying in the wind.

With a grin, the seven-tailed creature hopped down from the top of the shrine, greeting you.

“So… you decided to visit again.” He called out, walking close to you. The tall yokai observed you with curiosity, circling your form.
