Unable to understand what was happening, Touya froze. It was like the wind had a mind of its own. The unseen air turned into a blade, attacking the fox.

Heeee!

There was a shout along with a burning smell. It was then he realized for the first time that it wasnt just wind. It was difficult to see in the light of the afternoon, but it was a flame. A dancing blue flame attacked the foxs body. Eventually the fox disappeared all of a sudden. The area become quiet as if nothing had happened. He knew the danger was already gone, but Touya gulped as he continued not to move for a while. The fox said something mysterious.

Hand over what you stole, and, what an annoying tiger.

Tiger? Who?

That night, after dinner, Touya told Kiri he had something to talk to him about. Natsuki and Akio, completely misunderstanding, told them to take their time, and shut themselves in their room, but what Touya wanted to talk about wasnt what the children were hoping. It was about the fox from this afternoon. Also, about the strange things he said.
