The two little foxes are howling. They are crying, letting out all the restrained feelings they locked away inside their hearts. Joy, sadness, regret. These are the emotions I feel right now.

Damn it, why? Why are tears flowing on my cheeks?

When I took a glance at Ilya, she was crying. While Maria is..... where the hell is that pervert?

[Master, I’m back]

Speak of the devil

[Welcome ba- not that. Where did you go? Disappearing like that.]

[Don’t get angry, please. I want to show this to Master]

Maria showed me a gem with a light brown color

[Gem? Maria don’t tell me....]

[Maria, you aren’t looting from the dead, right?]

Ilya gave Maria a scornful look. Seeing that, Maria’s face went pale

[Wait Ilya, I-I’m not looting from the dead. A lot of these gems are found near the corpses with their hearts gouged out. Because I was curious, I tried to examine the other corpses. And all of them had the same fate with the corpse where I found this gem]

[[The hearts are gouged out?]]

Oi oi… What a ruthless act, to gouged out someone’s heart after killing

[Um, onee-chan, onii-chan, what are you talking about?]

The Golden-furred fox child asked us.

[Have you calmed down now?]

They nod towards my question.

[We sentence a verdict to Maria. Because she has looted the dead]

[Objection. I’m not guilty, I only picked the things on the ground]

Seeing the two’s comedic act. the fox children tilted their heads.What cute fellows.

I want to touch those fluffy ears and tails. Ah… I’m not imagining things, okay? The two foxes can speak the human language.

[Onee-chan, the thing in your hand is a soul stone, right?]

The golden-furred one asked Maria that.

[Soul stone?]

Maria asked for confirmation and explanation.

[Soul stones are the crystallization of our Youki{1}. Ah, for you humans, you call it mana. It will crystalize after our death. It applies not only to us demon fox kin but also with demon beasts, demon kin, Demi humans and monsters. This soul stone is our heart.]

KLANG

[Heart, you said?]

[Yes, the heart, that was what my mother said]

After she said that.A massive amount of energy concentrated right before us. And gathered at one point. At the center, a massive shadow of a demon beast appeared. Why did it become a kaijuu{2} battle out of nowhere? The one in front of us is a gigantic Golden-furred Nine Tailed Fox, the monster that inside an idiot ninja{3} that was aired in the past. Kyuubi Kitsune.
