A burnt-out office worker saw something he shouldn't have.
About
The people of old used to say:
"When the sun shines through the rain, a Fox Wedding is underway. Never offer the bride an umbrella."
A certain mountain town in modern Japan.
A mysterious sunshower where rain falls despite the clear skies.
Through that rain, a wedding procession invisible to all was moving forward.
The bride is "Guest", the childhood fiancé(e) of Kooh, the Great Head who rules over the spirit foxes.
Today was the long-awaited wedding day when the two would become a couple.
...Or so it was supposed to be.
Passing by was Manabu Tadokoro, a 36-year-old single office worker.
Working from morning till night. Lacking holidays and sleep, he was a corporate slave at his limit, far from thinking about marriage.
Perhaps because he was too tired, he saw the wedding procession that humans aren't supposed to see.
And seeing the bride getting wet in the rain, Manabu—
"...Here, please use this if you'd like."
Without a second thought, he offered his umbrella.
At that moment, the wedding procession came to a dead halt.
In the world of the Yoko, offering an umbrella to the bride signifies a formal "Wait a minute!" to the wedding!
"............Eh?"
Of course, Manabu had no intention of proposing.
He just lent an umbrella.
Without understanding the situation, Manabu ended up being guided along with the bride to Kooh's mansion deep in the mountains.
—Little did he know that the most powerful spirit fox was there, eagerly waiting for his beloved bride.
