A thought had already flashed through her mind subconsciously—was Little Grey lying?

silence.

The atmosphere was silent.

At this moment.

Su Chang and the group of people she was protecting were staring blankly at the scene.

It refers to the scene of a girl dressed as a shrine maiden drawing her bow and nocking an arrow.

The arrow, gleaming with golden light, remained drawn but not released.

The large, blue-gray fox, which was still howling at the sky, shrank its tail.

After staring blankly at the girl in the shrine maiden's outfit for two or three seconds...

In the end, they crawled down.

His head drooped, and he looked listless.

surrender.

This looks like an act of surrender.

Seeing this development, Su Chang was completely certain of her thoughts.

"So, Little Gray is the spirit fox that the two gods were looking for!"

Kasumigaoka, not quite understanding the ins and outs, was a bit confused.

She couldn't help but glance at the other familiar faces in the distance, namely Kousaka Kyosuke's wives and concubines, and finally looked at the Goddess of Fate.

His face wore a puzzled expression that seemed to say, "What on earth is going on?"

"I guess this fox is pretending to be stupid and not acknowledging Miketsu so he can avoid working."

Enmusubi deliberately lowered his voice to explain to Kasumigaoka.

The moment she spoke, she immediately felt that she was right.

after all.

The spirit fox is not far from Miketsu and Ara, and even if it is far away, it can sense them through the contract.

And what happened? He still had to come and specifically ask her for help.

I'll just leave it at that.

Now that they had just found the spirit fox, Miketsu's face darkened, and Ara's expression was somewhat subtle, especially after the spirit fox suddenly howled like a wolf...

Every single detail has been taken into consideration!

The God of Fate figured out the reason for the matter almost instantly—

For example, Miketsu and Arahara found the spirit fox very easily at the beginning, but unexpectedly, the spirit fox pretended to be crazy and tried to get away with it by acting cute, pretending that it was not Miketsu's divine messenger.

Then the fox spirit managed to fool everyone with her cuteness, so it was her turn to step in.

And then, isn't that hell?

"So that's it..."

Kasumigaoka murmured, feeling that he had learned something new.

Look at the fox's round belly, and the little chubby bits of flesh squeezed out of its neck and cheeks.

She roughly understood what was going on.

"Indeed, the food at Kyosuke-sama's place is quite good. If he were a pet, he would definitely be well taken care of like a nine-lives cat. On the contrary, continuing to serve as a divine messenger would be..."

There's no need to elaborate on the rest.

Kasumigaoka was filled with emotion.

It seems that it's not just humans who like to be lazy.

Even animals with spirituality are quite adept at it.

Moreover, once they take action, even the gods can only marvel at them.

Foxes are indeed cunning creatures.

For some reason, Kasumigaoka felt like laughing.

"I'll put this matter aside for now. Let's hurry up and come with you to bring life back to those lifeless lands around here."

After silently gazing at her spirit fox for a long while, Miketsu finally put away her bow and arrow.

Despite his seemingly harmless and handsome face, he remained very serious.

After saying that, she looked at Su Chang apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Su Chang, I'm sorry to have troubled you to take care of Xiao Ren during this time."

"No, that's not true. Little Ren caught a lot of mice; the crops on the farm weren't damaged much thanks to him!"

"Is that so... It seems that Minoru is still working hard."

Upon hearing Su Chang's explanation, Yu Zanjin's tense expression eased slightly.

The little gray fox, or rather, the spirit fox named Xiao Ren, was still lying on the ground.

It makes a "cooing" sound, as if trying to please.

Su Chang blinked. "So, today Xiao Ren imitated a wolf's howl because he didn't want to work."

She looks just like her husband!

Sometimes, my husband has said that he doesn't want to work.

He once said with a sigh that after leaving his job at the Onmyo-ryo (Bureau of Yin and Yang), he planned to travel the world.

This somewhat shocked Su Chang.

It turns out her husband had similar thoughts to hers!

"Good luck, Miketsu and Minoru!"

Enmusubi saw that Miketsu was in a slightly better mood and took the initiative to ease the atmosphere.

By the time Huang does this kind of thing, the air will probably be frozen solid.

Furthermore.

The God of Fate is very clear about this.

If the usually amiable Miketsu gets angry, not only will the spirit fox Minoru have to grovel and beg for mercy, but even Ara won't dare to say a word.

That's quite normal.

When someone who's never usually angry suddenly gets angry, the force of their anger will definitely be more astonishing!

"I'm so sorry to have caused you all trouble."

When Miketsu and Ara left, they nodded and apologized to Yukino, Hiratsuka Shizuka, the band members, and others.

A group of people hurriedly bowed their heads in return.

In short, that's the end of the matter.

"...I didn't expect that Minoru still had such important work to do."

Su Chang watched the spirit fox leave with Yu Zan Jin, her expression subtle.

The God of Fate casually remarked, "Actually, it's quite difficult for Xiao Ren, considering she's not that old."

Su Chang: "...Her?"

Enmusubi: "Yes, Minoru can transform. I've seen him before. He's about the same age as Erli."

"Wouldn't that be employing child labor?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't help but say.

The God of Fate scratched his head: "It's normal for people to go to work once they're old enough to understand, right?"

Is there something wrong with it?

"I'm sorry, I was just having a bad daydream." Hiratsuka Shizuka coughed lightly. "Because when I heard you mention Kojiri, Lord of the Unbound Goddess, images of Kojiri working hard flashed through my mind."

Xiao Erli, also known as Goto Erli.

Bochi's younger sister.

They're probably just old enough to start elementary school.

Therefore, it's understandable to be shocked to see elementary school students being put to work.

Thinking about it carefully.

Hiratsuka Shizuka realized that she was indeed overly self-conscious.

In this era, being sensible but not working is considered quite useless.
