T: Haa haah
T: Haa
T: ...you guys sure are persistent.
T: Why are you even chasing me?
Title: Demon Fox, Little Song
M: You know damn well why
M: It's because you're the demon fox that
M: cursed the head of the Yamato clan to death.
Page 002
T: Genzou was my friend.
T: I'd never put a curse on him.
M: Who would listen to what a demon fox has to say.
T: So you want to pin the crime on me is it?
M: We'll dress that carcass of yours in pitch black incrimination.
M: We can sell the body of "the accursed demon fox" for a high price to any crazy noble willing to pay.
T: !!

B: Men went to war with themselves to no end but

Title: Demon Fox, Little Song
J: Are you in some trouble?
B: It was a time where man and the darkness went hand in hand with one another
Page 006
T: ...where...
J: This is my house.
J: Good morning.
Page 007
J: Eat up
T: ...
J: It's good for your body.
T: ...
T: I see... This guy saved me.
J: Relax, it's not poison or anything.
T: ... That voice... He's a man huh?
T: Even though his face looks like a woman's...
T: This tastes like shit.
J: How does it taste?
T: Eh... Oh... It's not bad... I think...
J: Oh
Page 008
J: Well aren't you the weird one. That's some really awful tasting herbal soup there.
J: Ahaha
J: I certainly wouldn't drink it myself if I had to.
T: Bear with it... This guy saved your life...!!
T: But I really want to smack him the face right now...
T: Let me say my thanks. My name is Tama.
T: Please tell me yours.
J: It's Jinka.
J: Feel free to rest here until your wounds are all better.
Page 009
T: I appreciate the offer but I'm on a most urgent journey. I have to deliver this letter to the one called Kokugetsusai...
T: ...
J: The rain came down pretty hard...
J: That's a shame.
J: Can you ask them to write another one?
T: No I can't... Genzou was the one who wrote this and he's dead now.
T: I wasn't told what its contents were either...
T: Ah! That's right!
T: If I can at least meet with Kokugetsusai then...
T: Do you know of him? He's supposed to be a sage that lives in these parts.
J: Oh yeah! If it's Kokugetsusai-sama you want
Page 10
J: He keeled over all of a sudden about half a year ago and ascended from this world.
K: Take care of yerself now
T: No way...
J: If you don't have any other urgent matters to attend to please do rest easy here. I'm heading out for a biy to draw some water.
T: ...Genzou.
T: Genzooo
T: Are you okay? Are you in pain? Are you suffering?
Page 011
G: Tama... Take this letter...
G: To Kokugetsusai-sama...
T: You want me to deliver this? Okay, you can count on me.
T: I'll make sure he gets it.
T: So don't die on me.
G: Sor...ry
G: I can't... play ball with you... anymo...
T:Genzou's last request
T: Hah
T: Hah
T: I'll definitely deliver it
Page 012
T: I swore I'd deliver it, and yet...
T: How shameful
T: How...
T: How helpless I am...
T: ooo...
T: ooo...
T: Does it hurt so bad that it makes you cry?
M: Kehihihi
M: Found ya
M: Or what, you bawling over something else?
M: Did you have some sense of duty your human master?
T: !!
M: You lowly beast.
T: Bastard...
Page 013
M: Still, you have some nerve hiding out in a human's house...
M: Hm?
M: What do you want kid? You own this place?
M: Hang back for a bit.
M: A demon got into your house so...
M: Geuaah
T: Jinka!
M: What the hell did you do for!?
M: That little girl's actually a...
J: She is my guest.
M: Keep out of this you damn brat!!
Page 014
M: GBBE!?
M: A de... no, a shikigami!? Who the hell are you!?
Page 015
J: I'm the sage Kokugetsusai's number one disciple. Jinka.
J: A sage!?
M: Tha... That thing took advantage of the man who blessed her with food and used his good will to take possession of him.
M: It's a heartless hundred year old fox that cursed him to death! If you cover for her then you'll get possessed too!!
Page 016
M: Just who would listen to what some human has to say!?
J: Get lost! Or I'll tear you apart!!
M: Hyooeee!!
J: ...I actually hate humans you see.
T: ...oh...
T: ...I see...
Page 017
T: ...did you really not know who Yamato Genzou was?
J: Yes. I have no idea what business that person had...
J: with my master
T: ...is that so...
J: If you've got nowhere else to go anymore then it's fine if you stay right here from now on. A demon fox like you is more than welcome here.
T: ...Genzou was the same way.
T: He treated me well even though he knew I was a demon fox.
T: When we first met he saw me starving on the roadside and gave me a riceball to eat.
T: He eventually invited me to his mansion to play ball with him. We've been together ever since.
T: But...
T: He fell ill...
Page 018
J: You really are a strange one. You're a demon fox yet you cry over a human.
T: I'm mourning my friend! What's so wrong with that!
T: I for one happen to like humans!!
T: And just what is it with you!?
T: You're a human but you tell me that you hate humans yourself!
J: The ones who chased you around
J: And shot you with an arrow were humans.
T: ...
T: That sort of thing doesn't happen often...!!
J: Yes, it does.
T: Genzou was a good guy!! And you saved me too didn't you!!
J: That was because I knew you were a demon fox
J: If you were a human I would've let them kill you.
T: ...
Page 019
J: Someday I'll complete my master's secret technique and cast away my human form.
J: When that day comes would you care to be sworn siblings with me?
T: Siblings!?
J: It's my dream. If there are any demons in trouble out there, I'd go give them shelter and make my family larger. We can all take it easy and live together on this mountain forever.
T: You can do that with a human body too!
J: Demons hate humans so becoming family with them as a human is a bit...
T: I for one happen to like humans!!
J: The ones who chased you around and shot you with...
T: Don't bring it back to that!
T: Do you want to get stuck in an infinite loop!!
J: So you're saying you don't mind me being a human, is that right?
J: Then...
Page 020
J: Please start referring to me as your big brother!
J: Now then my darling little sister, please jump right into your big brother's chest!
T: ...heck no!! And why am I the little sister!! You said big brother but just how old are you anyway!? I'm a hundred year old demon fox ya know!!
J: I'm 14.
T: Hmmph. Lousy brat.
T: I'm the one who should be getting called big sister then.
J: Well then, does that mean it's okay for me to jump into that chest my big sister?
T: No! I never said we'd become siblings!!
T: At any rate... why do you even hate humans so much?
J: ...I just hate them.
J: I don't have a reason for it.
T: Is that so?
T: I don't a reason to be siblings with you either.
Page 021
T: So therefore I'll be leaving!
T: Thank you for having me.
J: Eh? Right now? It's night you know?
T: I'm going.
J: Where?
T: Anywhere
T: Just where exactly is anywhere...
Page 022
T: Before I met Genzou... What did I even do normally...
M1: I said Kokugetsusai's disciple did this to me.
M3: Whaat?
M3: If it was Kokugetsusai's disciple then you should have...
M2: ...Br-Bro!! Over there!
M3: What?
M2: It's the demon fox!!
M1: And she's alone!
T: Tch...!
Page 023
T: Th!!
T: Ahh
M1: Hyoo!! We got it!!
M3: Kuku...
T: Aggh!!
M3: Damn fox
M3: Where's the yamato brat at!?
T: ...!?
Page 024
M1: What's the brat about Bro?
M3: Kokugetsusai's disciple is Yamato Genzou's son. This thing was running off to tell the son of Genzou's death.
M2: You know everything bro~
T: Jinka is...
T: Genzou's son?
M2: Oh right. If they find out that Genzou died because he was sick, "the accursed demon fox" will lose any value.
M3: Yeah
M1: Then we're going to have to keep the brat's mout shut.
M3: And we'll be able to make a name for ourselves as sage killers too. It should be easy with the three of us.
M1: I remember how to get to the brat's house
M1: So for now let's kill this dirty little fox we have here.
Page 025
M2: How you going to do it?
M1: I'll cut her stomach open and gut her insides out. After that we just stitch her back up and we'll have a clean carcass.
M1: Don't let go of her legs bro...
T: No...
T: Genzoou...
M3: Hyahahaha! She's just a brat but she's got one hell of a sexy voice coming out!!
M3: Wait, she's a hundred years old right? This damn monst- BPPII
Page 026
M2: Brooooo!!
J: I heard the whole thing.
T: Jinka!!
J: To think that I was Yamato Genzou's son.
T: You didn't know either!?
T: Seriously
T: Hang on. How long have you been tailing me
J: That's not really something I'd remember far back enough to know.
J: Anyway!!
J: This is fate! Big sister!!
J: The two of us met by our bonds to father.
J: Wow, so we've essentially been family from the start!
T: Big sisteer!?
Page 027
M1: Bro! That's him!
M3: Good timing!! Let's kill both of them together!!
T: Those guys want to kill you! Let's run!!
J: What?
J: Then let's fight them with our combined sibling power!
T: I-I don't have any fighting power though!
J: I'll be borrowing your spirit power. This is the secret technique I worked out for getting closer to being a demon.
J: Your blood... pardon me.
T: Eh... Hey!?
Page 028
T: NNMMMMMMNN!?
J: Spiritual Awakening
J: Please wait right here sister. Right now

J: OOOOOOOOO
M1: In... One hit!?
Page 031
J: RRAAHH
J: I destroyed your chakra points! With this you bastards are spiritually impotent.
J: I'll let all the demons you preyed on up till now be the ones to kill you all!
Page 032
T: ...
T: Pretty...
J: Sister! That's a triumph for sibling love! {V: aneue}
T: Ht...
T: You...
T: Sibling love doesn't entail kissing each other...!
J: ...Then it's forbbiden sibling love.
T: You fresh little brat...!
Page 033
B: A few days later
T: Mm...
T: I managed to read the gist of it
J: You could make out what it said in that state?
T: Yeah. Genzou taught me how to read.
J: What does it say?
T: He says he's sorry. He thought entrusting you to a sage would help the Yamato clan in the long run... however he says he wants you to ignore all of that and simply live any way you like and pay the Yamatos no mind. ...That and he wanted you to watch out for me too...
T: ...say, about your hatred for humans...
T: Was it because you thought that your parents abandoned you?
Page 034
J: Well... who can say for sure.
J: More importantly, this is good weather we're having isn't it? Want to go for a walk with me?
T: Yeah
T: Let's bring some riceballs along with us.
B: Eiroku Era... The Warring States Period
