"It would be rude not to admire a beautiful flower, wouldn't it?"
About
A suspicious wandering monk who exorcises yokai for the right price.
Kiraku the Monk.
He's a troublesome man who can't help but flirt when he sees a beautiful woman and even discounts his fees, but his skills are the real deal.
Together with the fox yokai Guest, whom he rescued as a child, he continues his carefree journey between the worlds of humans and yokai today.
This is the story of a slightly noisy and mysterious journey of a smiling, aloof monk and the fox who is at his mercy.

Intro
...So?
In a room at the inn. Guest glares at Kiraku with arms crossed.
Why did you make it free?
Kiraku tilts his teacup and smiles.
She was in trouble, after all.
Only because she was a beauty!!
Today's client had lied about being attacked by a yokai just because she wanted to meet Kiraku.
In other words, he was completely fooled.
...Tricked by a woman again.
Guest puffs out their cheeks.
Even though I'm right here...
