ACIEL'S DIARY : INDIGO
SUPPLEMENTARY SHEET: FLAME II PIECES

Seeing the state of the fox lying limp in front of me somehow made me feel like I had to do something, even though I didn't know what to do.

In the end I decided to put his head on my thigh and stroke one after another of his nine heads. Sing some of the songs I memorized from the singing class this morning, calmly while feeling the cool bow of the dancing wind.

A moment passed, the fox finally moved and opened its eyes.

"Son of man, what are you doing?"

"Ah no, how do I explain it, huh? You look a little weak so I intend to wait for you to wake up while spending time here. You know, right? It's a little dangerous to live alone in a forest or a mountain like this."

It seems like my reply seemed a little funny, the fox snorted with a small laugh and replied.

"dangerous? Fool, the forest and the mountains are like home to me. Precisely what is in danger right now is a human brat like you, what would you do if I were one of the Spirits intent on eating your body?"

"Well, I'm not sure about that. You saved me before, maybe I'll die if you don't help me. So even though you intend to eat my body right now, I think you have a right to it. I don't mind too much."

Of course I lied. Honestly speaking this fox is right, it would be a problem if he was one of the evil spirits that was after my body.

But strangely I did not feel any evil intentions from him, maybe the instincts I had could have been wrong but I decided to bet. A dangerous bet.

Fortunately I won it this time, I was greatly relieved if this fox was an easy spirit to communicate with and be friendly.

"Hm? What was? Why are you staring like that? Is there something on my face?" my question was, responding to the gaze of the fox that was on my lap.

"No, it's nothing. I was just thinking if you had a little extreme thinking in your head and I felt that it was likely to harm you in the future."

"Ah, really?"

Maybe that's true, I've been talking to people a little bit lately and it makes me less able to organize sentences or start conversations. Sometimes I say too much.

Maybe it's time I start a new step and make friends. But all the kids at school are away from me, do I have to search outside the school environment? I think it's pretty hard.

Ignoring the uneasiness in me, the fox immediately jumped off my thigh and walked away, stopped at a tree and sat there, turning his body position towards me.

"Well, forget the unimportant and let's get back to the original topic. Son of man, what do you want in exchange for freeing myself from that disgusting seal? Don't hold back, say whatever you want."

"No, I don't really want anything right now. Besides I accidentally hit that stone lantern too, you don't have to bother to grant my wish."

Replied for a moment. But strangely it even made the fox in front of me put on an exasperated expression on his nine heads.

"People like you who don't want anything are the most troublesome type. I changed my words, quickly convey your wishes right now. I'll grant it."

I don't know why this feels like a compulsion. What could possibly be the point of his actions being that he would not be indebted to a lowly human like me? Then I can understand it.

But what should I ask for? I'm not thinking about anything right now ... Hm? No, there's one thing I can ask for right now.

I pointed at my right foot, more precisely at the few fingers that were there.

"All right, I'll take it. Then will you be able to heal my finger and restore it to its original appearance? It's making it pretty hard to come back home later."

"I can do it but are you sure that's it? You can ask for wealth or something. My circumstances are indeed weakened at the moment but at least I can still give that much to a lowly human like you."

Who do you call a lowly?

"Is that so? I feel a little dissatisfied but what can I do. With this I no longer have any debts with you."

One of the fox's tails extended, then approached my right leg and wrapped it up the thigh. Acne, the sensation of the fur is very soft and warm. I want to take it.

Some light particles sprung from the tail that wrapped around my leg and when my leg was released, all the wounds that were there had completely disappeared. To be sure, I moved the finger on my foot.

There was no pain left.

"A very good ability. You don't need a hospital if the process of healing a wound can be done this easily."

"That's pretty easy for a High-Level Spirit like me to heal a small wound or two on a fragile body of a lowly human like you. You can ask for as much as you can."

I'm quite happy with that but it's better not to get hurt. And I'd be happy if he didn't call me lowly.

But I'm still a little afraid to say it. Although there was no evil intent that he directed at me right now but I felt something on the aura of this fox Spirit.

Maybe he hates humans too. Well, that's a pretty common thing of Spirits.

After that I discussed some things with the fox spirit, while avoiding some topics. Surprisingly this fox spirit in front of me knows quite a lot about humans.

We talked for quite a while, the sky began to change color when I realized it.

"It's late in the afternoon, I have to go home soon. Then I'll go first, are you okay I'll leave you alone?"

"Hmph! Making a fragile human child worry about me, it seems like you really underestimated me. Rather than me, it's better to worry about yourself. Can you get out of the foot of this mountain by yourself?"

"Ah take it easy, I've been used to playing around here. The mountains and forests are like the back garden to me, although I can still get lost a few times anyway." I replied with a small, flat laugh.

"Then go quickly. Ah, right, before that can you promise me to come here in three days?"

I didn't expect that, did he start liking me when we started the conversation?

"I could come tomorrow anyway, how about that?"

"No, just three days. I have to recover the absorbed Energy for a while, so you can come in three more days. Hows it? Can you do it?"

True as well, if it was not wrong before he said that the seal of the stone lantern that locked him up was a type of forbidden seal that absorbed his Spiritual Energy slowly over time.

The energy must be very little left now, what can be done then.

"Well, I'll be here in three days."

"Yes, I'll wait for you."

That way I'll be heading home soon. There was a bit of a problem when I came home late and made me get a little punishment from Aunt An but there was nothing special besides that.

The night soon arrived, I who had finished all the activities today immediately went into the warehouse and prepared a folding mattress.

It didn't take long until I fell asleep. And on that day, I had a dream, which strangely felt so real.
