Jiu Ge’s Beloved Spirit

The young man looked at it and curled his lips.

Gently rub its little head without blinking.

"From now on, you will follow me, okay?"

"I will make money to support you, and I won't starve you."

"..." The fox raised his head slightly.

Then, she met his eyes that were as bright as a puppy.

Soft, clean, and bright.

It's as bright as the stars in the sky.

The fox looked at him and said nothing.

After a while, it came closer.

Nuzzling him was considered a response.

The boy's eyes brightened even more.

Ambilight, astonishingly bright.

"You agreed?"

"...Ouch~"

It responded.

The boy, who had always been particularly lonely, hugged him tightly.

The corners of the lips are curved, and the eyes are also curved.

Burningly bright.

"Then it's agreed, I will support you and you are not allowed to leave."

He seemed so happy for the first time.

I was so happy that I didn’t know what to do.

I just instinctively hug it tightly and rub it.

I wish I could stick to it all.

"Fox... fox... my fox..."

"I really like you……"

He held it so hard that he almost knocked over the bowl of porridge on the floor.

Fortunately, the fox's tail moved quickly, and with a flick, he brushed the bowl aside.

Out of reach.

"Ouch~"

Be careful.

It licked his cheek.

…

…

…

After drinking the porridge, the boy, who had filled his stomach, happily hugged the fox and walked around.

Introduce your house to it.

"Look, this is my bed, this is the table, this is the stool..."

"From now on, I'll give you half of your sleep. You sleep inside and I sleep outside. I'll give you the pillow..."

"And this one, this is a well where you can draw water. When you want to drink water, there will be lots and lots of water."

"Oh, this, this is the firewood shed. I have collected a lot of dry firewood. It will be winter soon. Little fox, are you afraid of the cold..."

He is still a child, a simple child.

Not understanding anything, just happily sharing everything with his new friends.

Whatever it is.

The fox in his arms watched quietly.

When he spoke, it listened quietly.

Sometimes he stopped and looked at it, and it responded by licking his cheek.

He soon smiled and rubbed it with more pleasure.

"Xiaoli, I like you so much~"

He was really happy, happy that he had a friend.

I am willing to play with him and stay with him.

"Ouch~"

Its drooping tail waggled, resting quietly on his body, very docile.

Strangely docile.

…

…

…

Another place.

On the streets of a small town.

The few soldiers just now were walking with glazed eyes in their hands.

One step at a time, the pace is slow.

As if his soul had been sucked, he walked unsteadily and his eyes were straight.

Pedestrians nearby cast strange looks.

The look in their eyes was like seeing a ghost.

They avoided it involuntarily, and automatically made a way out of the busy street.

No one dares to get close.

Those soldiers walked all the way, all the way.

Like zombies, walking dead zombies.

Finally, when they were almost at the inn, they seemed to suddenly come back to their senses.

He regained his consciousness and saw the scene around him.

All of them looked confused.

"Eh? How did we get back here?"

"That's right, weren't we still there just now-"

"What are you doing? What the hell are you doing? Didn't you just say you were coming back in a hurry?"
