In Kyoto, on the tennis court in the backyard of Byodoin's house, the blond boy swung his tennis racket and hit back the tennis balls hit by the ball machine one after another, as if he was tireless.
The previous generation Nioh Masaharu met Byodo-in Phoenix at the U17 training camp, but the two did not have much contact. It was not until he was in his first year of high school that he gradually became familiar with Byodo-in.
Was Byodoin-senpai so cute when he was a child? puri.
The little fox lay on the wall and narrowed his eyes.
After seeing the "kind little demon", Byodoin decided to complete his daily training first, and then deal with the little demon's affairs.
Bang——
After hitting the last tennis ball into the bamboo basket, Byodoin put away the racket, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and then looked at the west wall .
For a moment, the four eyes looked at each other. A fox figure was reflected in the crow-green eyes, and a dazzling golden color hit the cyan eyes.
"Little fox, are you here to ask for help?"
After hearing what Byodo-in said, Nioh jumped off the wall, ran lightly to the side of Byodo-in, and then jumped On the shoulder of Byodo-in, he spoke the words he had prepared.
"Due to an accident, I fell downstairs. When I woke up, I found that my soul had turned into a fox, and I could not return to my body."
"Don't worry, I will take you to see your grandmother. She will definitely have a way."
"Okay."
When I was a child, Byodo-in looked like a gentle and lovely person. My child, why is my painting style so different from my future paintings? Niou couldn't help but complain in his heart.
After about ten minutes, Byodo-in finally stopped outside a solemn door. However, before Byodo-in could do anything, the door opened without any wind.
"Come in."
The old woman sitting cross-legged on the futon opened her eyes. I wonder if it was an illusion. The moment she opened her eyes, Niou felt a huge thing behind her. The Buddha statue flashed a ray of light.
"Grandma."
"Phoenix, please go out first."
"Grandma?"
"Huh?" < /p>
"...Yes."
Byodo-in did not understand what his grandmother wanted to do, but his childhood education told him that his grandmother's decision had its own reasons, so Byodo-in will The little fox took it off his shoulder and placed it firmly on the ground, then clasped his hands together, bowed slightly, and exited the room.
After Byodo-in left, the room was silent. I don’t know how long it took before the woman spoke again: "Strange, strange..."
Hearing this, Nioh was shocked. Could it be that his rebirth had been discovered? Fortunately, the old man's next words made Nioh's heart drop again.
"Obviously he is of the bloodline of Sky Fox, but his body is actually a human being."
"Sky Fox?" Nioh asked pretending to be confused.
"You don't know yet? That's right. After all, you are only a five-year-old child. Come here, come to me."
Niou was suspicious and walked up to the grandmother of Byodoin. , she stretched out her index finger and nodded his head lightly.
"Your soul is too unstable. If you want to return to your body, there is only one way, and that is to recuperate and practice as soon as possible. When your soul turns into human form, you can naturally return to your original body."
p>
"What should I do?"
"Inari Shrine."
Upon hearing this familiar word, Nioh's eyes widened. , he actually wanted to come into contact with that place so early.
Seeing Niou's thoughtful look, the old woman continued: "I will ask the phoenix to take you to the shrine, and the people there will naturally help you."
"In this case , I'm sorry - I don't know what I should call you?"
"What's your name? I think you are related to Phoenix, how about you call me grandma like Phoenix?"
Under the old man's kind smile, King Ni nodded: "When I return to my body, I will definitely come to visit you."
"Okay, let's go find Phoenix."
"Then I will take my leave first."
Niou bowed slightly, turned around and left, and Byodoin was waiting for him not far outside the door.

"Little fox, you are out! How are you? What did grandma say?"
"Grandma asked you to take me to Inari Shrine."
" Inari Shrine? ”
“Yeah.”
“Okay, I’ll send you there right now”
Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto, in the future After hearing this from the miko, Byodoin was led outside the temple.
"Please wait a moment, I will ask the palace minister for instructions."
"Okay."
After the miko left, Nioh began to chat with Byodoin. : "I saw Byodo-in seniors playing tennis today. Do you like tennis very much, seniors?"
"Yes, do you like it too?"
"Yes!"
p>
"Great! Let's have a fight when you become a human!"
"I will definitely find you, senior!"
" It’s a deal!”
“It’s a deal!”
About five minutes later, the beautiful witch walked out of the temple and made a gesture of invitation.Said: "The palace minister is in the palace, I won't send you in."
"Thank you."
Byodo-in made a clasped-together salute, holding the little ones on their shoulders. The fox entered the temple.
In the solemn and solemn hall, the inviolable palace minister's eyes softened the moment he saw the little fox.
"I know all about your situation. In the next time, I will help you practice your transformation."
"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Palace Secretary "
"You don't have to call me Sir, I am Qianqiu Meiji. Just call me Qianqiu Palace Secretary."
"Okay, Qianqiu Palace Secretary."
p>"Byodoin-kun, please feel free to leave your friend to me. Our shrine will do our best to help him regain his human form."
"Then I'll leave it to you."
p>"You're welcome."
"In that case, I'll leave first."
"I'll see you off!"
Niou said With that, he jumped onto Byodoin's shoulders. One person and one fox looked at each other again, with a little smile in their eyes.
Under the vermilion torii corridor, Byodo-in walked down the steps step by step. By the time he reached the foot of the mountain, it was almost dusk. Looking at the orange clouds covering the sky, Nioh jumped off Byodo-in. shoulders.
"Little fox, I will come to see you when I have time."
"I'm waiting for Byodoin-senpai."
"You guy. "
Byodo-in squatted down and rubbed the little fox's head, then stood up to leave. Suddenly, Byodo-in thought of something and immediately turned around and said, "I don't know what your name is yet?"
p>"Nioh Masaharu, my name is Nioh Masaharu."
"Nioh Masaharu...Okay, I remember! Bye."
"Bye bye."
p>Nioh watched Byodo-in walk for more than a hundred meters, then turned around and ran up the mountain. He didn’t know when he would be able to return to his own body, but he knew that Inari Shrine was indeed the most suitable place for him to practice. The place - because here, there is the strongest power of faith.
