"Stop, human boy!! I won't eat you!!"
Hearing a voice that signaled a warning behind me, made me speed up and widen the steps I took.
With my breathing cut off, I ran without turning my face back.
"Where might anyone stop if you tell him to, right?! And even if I stop, it doesn't mean that you're really going to undo your intention to eat my body!!" I screamed desperately, my breathing was already on the verge of the limit but I had to keep running.
For the sake of survival, run out of the reach of the Spirit in the form of a disembodied Human head that floated chasing behind me. This spirit has been following me since I was at school, but he ended up chasing me when I intended to go home.
Thanks to that I who suddenly ran frantically gained some painful looks from those around who were unaware of the actual situation.
Maybe some of my nicknames at school will add up, but I don't really care about that at the moment.
The most important thing is to escape from the damn head spirit that was chasing me. But he had absolutely no intention to stop, how was this? What do I have to do to stop it?
I continued running and running, unknowingly reaching the deserted bushes. I don't remember the path I took before. As I remember I kept running around looking for a crowded place.
If so, the only reasonable possibility—
"Damn it, the Spirit must have done something to my eyes and rolled me to a quiet place. Where'sisthis? Is this a forest? Ah no, I was at the foot of a small mountain near the housing. Whatever it is, I need to get out of here and get to a crowded place."
"Buck!! Where're you?! Quickly come out and let me eat your body!!"
Ahtur, he arrived at a bad timing.
I hit the bushes, making quite a noise. The head spirit heard it and turned its head towards me then widened its eyes. The spirit really looks horror.
"Where are you, huh?!! Just wait!! Don't run!!"
Goddamnit!!
I took another direction and ran, honestly running in the middle of the forest at the foot of the mountain like this was a bad idea. With the same right and left view, and then no signposts or signposts, there was nothing I could make reference to back.
"Hey!! Just wait!! Don't run!!"
I looked back, confirming the distance between us. The flying head was about thirty meters behind, great.
"With this he won't be able to—Gurgh!!"
But when I turned my gaze in that instant, it made me slightly off guard at the path that was in front of me. My leg hit something, making me fall and roll on the grass.
"It hurts!! Ahhh—!! My leg!! My leg hurts!! What did I just hit?!"
A little water came out at the end of my eye, as I held and rubbed some swollen fingers on the right leg.
It seems that I hit a stone lantern that has a height of about half a meter, The neatly arranged stone lantern has collapsed at this time and become several pieces apart.
I hit him pretty hard, how else. I want to rearrange it but there's no time to do it right now.
"But this stone lantern has a size large enough, how could I be completely unaware of its existence before, huh? Ah, goddamn. I lay down too long."
"Buck!! Come here!!"
That head spirit flew quickly and instantly shot towards me without any further ado. Opened wide his mouth that was filled with yellow teeth, to tear his cheeks.
Shit, scary!!
"It's only now that I've escaped that sickening seal but what's with this ominous sight in front of me? You two, get out of here!!"
I was like hearing something on the other side but my attention was currently distracted by a head Spirit that shot towards me with its wide mouth.
He will eat my body here. At least do it without pain!!
And as I began to hand everything over to fate, a golden-colored light appeared at the very end of the vision. And in a moment, the light instantly spread out and blinded my eyes. The same sensation when exposed to a Flash bang.
"Ah eyes!! Damnit damnit!! The shine!! That's too glare!!"
"Grahhh!!! The heat!! Goddamnit!!"
On the other hand I could also hear the agonizing screams from that head Spirit. It seemed like the golden-colored light was also hurting him, although it seemed to have a stronger effect on him.
I immediately rubbed my eyes and blinked a few times, returning the forest scenery to my eyes. But there are some additional sightings from before now.
"Ah."
Ignoring the head spirit that flew away with smoke coming out from every pore of his skin, I looked the other way. Where a Fox with golden fur, that had a blackish line surrounding its body stood.
The golden color on the fur is striking but there is much more striking than all that.
It is located on nine tails and nine heads that come out on its body.
The golden-haired fox with nine tails and nine heads, emitted light particles on each of its tails that wagged through the air.
"exceptional. It was the first time I saw this beautiful Spirit ... I want it."
One of the ears of the nine fox heads moved, the fox turned its body towards me and walked closer in slow steps. I could tell if the fox was observing my body, especially my hair and face.
Ah seriously, did he hear my words just now?
The fox stopped at a distance of two meters in front of me, looking at me sharply using its eighteen eyes.
On the other hand, I just sat quietly. Put on an awkward smile, trying not to react in the slightest. Even so, the tension created from this silence tormented my inner self a little.
I took a deep breath, then exhaled everything. Set a determination on my heart and raise a voice.
"U-Um ... Thanks ... Because it helped me." I said, with a little pause.
But the fox in front of me still did not say anything, just looking at me in silence.
"Well, can I ask you your name?"
Ah, he finally spoke. But he asked me my name? What's the matter? I don't know why I feel a little bad feeling.
"Ah, um ... My name is Aciel Luciel."
"Oh, it's not, is it? But there is indeed a slight resemblance." whispered the fox.
The fox was like whispering something but because of the many thoughts that were spinning inside my head, it made me not hear his voice and slightly jerked.
"Ah, did you say anything?" my question, with a little doubt mixed with fear.
"No, it's nothing. Put that aside, son of man, you have freed myself from the disgusting seal that has locked me away. I thank you for the service you do." The fox slightly lowered its nine heads and lowered its tail.
This was the first time a Spirit had bowed its head to me, making me a little nervous and not know what to do to respond.
"Ah, no. It's not a big deal, I did it accidentally anyway."
"Is that so? Even so I still thank you for freeing myself from there. Is there something you—"
Suddenly, the fox stopped his sentence in the middle and sculpted.
As I was about to ask if something had happened, his body quickly fell to the side and just sprawled on the grass.
"Huh?"
The fox fainted.
