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

Dreams ... Is this really a dream? It feels so real. It is better that I observe everything from here and understand every situation that happens, however it still feels strange.

Eh? Speaking of weirdness, why do I realize it's a dream? Dream lucid? No, I can't control it.

What the fuck?

It is located in the middle of a large forest surrounded by many mountains, without any sign of human life nearby. The sunlight that was at the top of the sky shone brightly, bringing about an atmosphere full of warmth.

The sound of birds chirping filled the forest like a soothing chorus, then a stream of sparkling rivers spread throughout the forest, bringing many ferocious beasts towards its edge. A very natural atmosphere.

Then in the contents of many other forest daei scenery, so far everything is quite normal.

Swinggg—!! In a moment, the scene I saw changed instantly.

From the image of the entire forest, it turns into the appearance of a building that looks like a temple, especially a very large temple.

At the front of the front gate of the temple is a Spirit who has a form like a fox that lies on the front yard and closes its eyes. The fox was of a very large size.

What the fuck is that size? Twenty ... No, maybe close to thirty meters? Is it not too big?

With nine of its tails curling its giant body, then nine of its heads with all of its eyes closed. Even so all his ears moved, it seemed like the fox was still in a awake position.

There is a pattern like a symbol on each forehead on his head, decorated with giant horns branched with black fangs that reflect sunlight.

This fox truly depicts a supreme Spirit point, I have never seen a Spirit as beautiful as this in my entire life. Maybe I would just believe it if he was a God who had a gigantic Temple behind him.

Hm? Wait a minute, something's weird here. Nine tails? Nine heads? Ah, isn't that the same as the fox I met before? Is he the son of this giant fox?

No, from his aura I felt that both of them were the same Spirit. When viewed, each face also has the same structure. So this is the same Spirit, huh? Their appearance is very different.

If you recall further the fox spirit I met earlier said that he was slightly weakened due to the strong influence of the seal that had long locked him up. Maybe because it was also the form he used had a difference.

In appearance, size or beauty. Totally different.

Just as I was thinking that, the sleeping fox spirit opened all of its closed eyes.

"Hm?"

Huh uh? He's looking at me? Is this not a dream?

The fox raised its head slightly upwards then licked one of its tails and looked towards me once more. Then the fox spirit spoke, its voice sounding extremely classy with a hint of an arrogant trace depicting its sharp gaze.

"Sen, what are you doing here?"

Huh uh? A cent?

I heard footsteps behind me and turned my body to look at it. The one there is—

"Miss Nebi, that's the sentence I should be pointing at you. What are you doing here? Aren't you one of the five explorer Foxes in this temple? The god******* must have felt a deep sadness when he saw you lounging here while the other four of your companions traveled around the World to spread the blessing of the God."

What I saw there was another fox spirit, in a deep voice like a man of high dignity. And that size, maybe close to twenty meters? Still it was too big, though not as big as Nebi.

So the fox that was lying down earlier was called Nebi, huh? He didn't tell me his name when he met me on the mountain before.

The newly arrived fox is named Sen.

There was no symbol on Sen's head which numbered seven, his tail also numbered seven. He also spoke using Honorifics, perhaps the hierarchy here is determined by the total number of Tails and heads they each have.

And standing at the top of the hierarchy was the figure Sen called the God. It's just my personal judgment anyway, there's a lot I don't understand here.

"Lazy-peel? Sen, watch that talk. I am guarding the temple gates from intruders who may enter the present while my four sisters roam the Outer World." Nebi replied as she yawned at one of her mouths.

No, from anywhere you just look like a lazy fox wasting time on the porch and lazing around. What's with that confidence?

It seemed like Sen was thinking the same thing as me, it was completely visible from the expression he put out on his seven faces. Even though he didn't voice it.

"That's what it looks like, I understand. Put that aside, I also want to inform you about the selection of ten new foxes as apprentices in this temple. Maybe you can give some advice about the task of the explorer fox to increase the spirit they have."

"The apprentice fox, huh? It made me remember the first time I came here, it was quite heavy at first because I was a lackey from the temple and some senior rover foxes but eventually it all paid off."

A slight smile came out from Nebi, with her gaze becoming increasingly sharp.

"Look at me now, please, I've become one of the five roaming foxes and can finally make fun of those damn seniors who used to say that I wouldn't be able to reach them while drinking wine at the New Year's Eve party. Haha, the wine that night was delicious."

"Miss Nebi, please don't demonize the elder foxes so straightforwardly like that. You could get karmic if there's someone here who hears about it and reports this to God."

"uh? Well, take it easy. I'm quite sensitive, you know? No one here can hear our conversation."

No, I heard it, very clearly. But unfortunately I can't report all those words to the Gods.

How am I supposed to say this, huh?

This fox named Nebi really had a very different impression when meeting me on the mountain earlier. Maybe this is the true nature he has.

Surely he wouldn't want to show this side to a lowly human like me.

Whatever it is, this fox named Sen must also be having a hard time. He was the type who had a serious personality, even the look on his face right now looked quite complicated. What was he thinking?

"Is that so? Thank goodness then. Then how about the wobble? Do you agree to do it?"

"uh? Convulsions? Isn't Kitsu better suited to do just that? Sen, did you know that and keep coming to me? Are you mocking me here? I'll give you punishment."

For some reason, Sen looks a little panicked.

"Eh? A penalty? Please don't do that, I still have a lot of work to do and no extra time to serve. I'm offering this to you because Miss Kitsu is on a journey right now."

"True, you did say that the four children had gone to spread the blessing. What can I do, then—"

"—Are you going to do it?" Sen said with a cheerful tone, some sparkles appeared on the look on his face.

"Of course not, right? What can we do, then we wait until Kitsu or the other three return. After all, their journey won't take too long."

The sparkle on Sen's face instantly disappeared with his heavy sigh. From the look on his face, he seemed to have given up.

"By the way about Miss Kitsu, recently there was something strange about her behavior. I heard it from Ron and Chio. Then Ulin and Lin also said the same thing afterwards."

"Rone ... Chios ... Ulin ... Lin ... Ah, the fox with seven tails is the same as you, huh? They say Kitsu's been acting weird lately? What's he doing?"

"They said that lately Miss Kitsu quite often came out of the temple area and visited the region with many humans in it. Miss Kitsu also often picked up some flowers on the mountain behind the temple and sang. Did something happen, huh?"

"Well, if the female girl with the flower head seems to be laughing then that's definitely not a bad thing, right? We don't have to worry about anything."

"True, Miss Kitsu is different from you. At least I'm sure if he won't create any problems."

"Hey, what did you say just now? As punishment for insulting me, I'll take out one of yours."

"ah! Forgive me!! I'm just kidding!!!"

"No, I'm kidding too. You don't have to kowtow like that, it makes the atmosphere a little awkward."

"Ah, yes ... I'm sorry."

Both of them were immersed in a quiet laugh, on the other hand I just kept looking blankly.

It makes me feel a little envious of the relationship they have, it's a relationship I'll never have at least for now. Will there be a time when I have it, huh?

But the atmosphere does feel so peaceful here, does it mean that I see all these sights?

And when I think about it.

Swingg—!! In an instant, the scene I saw changed once again.

"uh? What the fuck?"
