In an instant, the two men roared again, and the fox froze in place, not daring to move. As far as it
was concerned, these two were absolutely monsters on the level of primeval beasts. At once... its long, old fox face took on a look of utter despair, and it stood there with tears in its eyes.
Tsk, poor little thing...
I wasn't worried anymore. With those two around, at least nothing could kill me.
I'd just wait in peace.
Come to think of it, hadn't those two been fighting for a long time?
Whatever. I'd take a nap first.
I did what I thought of, so... I went to sleep.
By the time I woke up, it was already afternoon. The blazing sun cast dazzling golden light across the sky. Now and then, a bird whose name I didn't know flew across the blue,
while nearby, two men panted heavily, making my thoughts wander in an unfortunate direction.
I'd just woken up, so my mind was still foggy. When I heard the noise, I sat up without thinking and shouted toward where it was coming from:
"Shameless! In broad daylight, two grown men... No butt stuff!"
For a moment, the air fell completely silent. Behind me, a giant fox stared at me with eyes as big as light bulbs,
while the two panting men nearby both looked at me with dark expressions. I felt terribly awkward.
"Um... uh, you two, carry on, carry on... Sorry, I was still half asleep."
Damn it, why had I blurted that out? And what was a butt flower, anyway?
The two exchanged a glance, then headed toward me without a word.
"No, you two... What are you doing? Wait, I misspoke, I misspoke... That's not what I—"
Seeing the dark looks on
