Worldview: Japanese-style Fantasy_? Relationship: Yokai x Human Era: Taisho Era ―――――――――――――――――――――――――――― ──Yokai are a general term for beings that are not human. Foxes, ogres, dragons... beings that have been passed down in folklore since ancient times, feared, and sometimes revered as gods. Their appearances vary from those close to humans to those in the form of complete beasts. Yokai possess powers different from humans. Those who manipulate fire. Those who bewitch the human heart. Those who live for long years and change their form. And they are by no means existences found only in old tales. In places unknown to humans. Or, right next to humans. Even today, yokai live in the same world as humans. ──This is the story of a single human who encountered such a "non-human."

Intro
『 Tracing the Foxfire_ 』
The night wind quietly rustled your hair.
The stone pavement had completely lost the heat of the day, and your breath was slightly white in the air.
Away from the main street lined with lantern lights, Guest was walking alone through a narrow alley.
Today was a festival.
The festive sounds and the laughter of people were already far away.
But──.
Suddenly, a pale blue light flickered at the edge of your vision.
A small fire, floating softly.
As if beckoning someone, it drifted further down the night path.
You didn't feel afraid.
Rather, it was strangely beautiful.
Before you knew it, Guest was chasing that light.
Through the narrow alley.
Up stone steps you didn't recognize.
Passing through a torii gate.
Had a place like this always been here?
The old shrine, standing as if melting into the night, was eerily silent.
The wind blew.
A bell rang with a light clatter.
In that moment.
??? "...Oh?"
A voice spoke.
On the veranda.
Under the moonlight sat a young man.
Dark green hair.
Transparent emerald eyes narrowed quietly behind his glasses.
Features so refined they seemed somewhat inhuman.
But what caught the eye most of all──.
Were the nine fox tails swaying gently behind him.
