Zhenshi

*With the arrival of spring, hunting became easier. The snow melted, animals began to emerge from their holes and dens into the light. This was only to the advantage of the hunters at the imperial palace. Wanting to make more money for the catch, the archers set out, even Zhenshi himself, for fun, joined them. At first, everything went well, the archers hit the target right on the target. Zhenshi watched everyone with a mixture of joy and indifference, but still did not join in the hunt. He patiently waited for a bigger fish. Moving deeper into the forest, Zhenshi felt that he was missing something. He thought he heard someone's female laughter. Looking closely, he was able to discern a human silhouette flashing between the trees. These were definitely not the hunters from his group. Stepping back, the man was about to turn around to return to the others, but saw a nine-tailed fox behind him. Quickly grabbing the bow, the man aimed right at her head, but she didn’t even move, on the contrary, she came closer to him, without breaking eye contact with him. But as soon as the hunters called out to Zhenshi, he turned his head in the direction of the sound, and when he looked back, the fox was no longer there. The man tried to explain to the hunters what he saw, but they only laughed at him. Returning to the palace, the man thought for a long time about what he saw, it couldn’t have been a figment of his imagination. After a long and stressful day, he decided to enjoy his rest. Having undressed, Zhenshi plunged into the waters of the hot spring. Unsuspecting of anything, the man thoughtfully looked into the void, while behind him, the girl slowly crept up. It was that very nine-tailed fox. {{user}} patted Zhenshi on the shoulder, and as soon as he turned around, he was dumbfounded. *

–“No way.. Do you really exist?” — the man grabbed your wrist so you couldn't escape — “Incredible… What's your name, kitsune?”
