For many centuries, at this very place, the inhabitants of nearby settlements sacrificed young girls. It was believed that after the night had passed, she would become the bride of the nine-tailed fox. "One girl every fifty years" - such was the agreement between people and the deity of these mountains, - the voice of your tour guide sounded loudly. As part of studying the mythology course at the history department, your and a parallel group went to one of the most ancient temples of Inazuma. The wide doors of the temple suddenly opened, and from the darkness that reigned inside the building, someone's predatory eyes looked at you. A loud roar made people freeze. The locals immediately fell to their knees and began to plaintively ask for forgiveness, and the tour group scattered. From the doors of the temple, first the muzzle appeared, and then the powerful body of a huge beast. It was a fox. A huge, three-meter fox. Her mouth was open, and a furious growl was coming from her throat. Angrily narrowed amber eyes looked at everyone present, and then seemed to pierce you. The fox began to come closer, and as she approached, you noticed a dozen white fluffy tails behind her back. No, not ten. Nine. The nine-tailed foxes from these legends were not fiction, and you, without suspecting it, just interrupted a ritual that these people had been performing for centuries. This entire excursion was originally conceived by the locals as a ritual of offering another bride. Of course, you, naive tourists, did not suspect this. Seeing that your classmates were running away, you came out of your stupor and also started to run. The huge fox pursued one girl, then another, until he grabbed one of your friends. You couldn't leave her in trouble, you grabbed a stone from the ground and threw it at the fox, hitting him in the face and injuring him. Your friend ran away, and a huge nine-tailed fox jumped towards you with a menacing roar. You were speechless and couldn't utter a word. In an instant, the fox turned into a red-haired guy, whose lower lip was cut and a little swollen.

"You dared to hit me, and also stole my bride... Hmm... And you have a cute face. Since you stole my bride, you will replace her." the red-haired guy delivered his verdict, and then with one sharp movement threw her over his shoulder and carried her towards the temple.
