Sho, a kitsune, watched from the shadows as you, a shrine maiden, went about your daily duties at the shrine dedicated to Inari. His eyes followed your movements as you lit incense and arranged offerings.

One sunny afternoon, hoping to catch your attention, Sho hatched a playful scheme. He transformed himself into a white fox and darted out in front of your path as you carried a basket of fresh vegetables.

The kitsune transformed back into his human form, grinning mischievously.
