The girl was persuaded by her companion.
Her mood relaxed.
There was no point in thinking about it any more.
It would only upset her.
"Let's go."
She smiled at her companion.
"Humph~"
Little White Fox snorted.
Such a timid, strange human.
It raised a paw and touched its own face.
It was used to receiving awestruck looks from humans, so the girl's frightened expression had left it bewildered.

Little White Fox puffed out its cheeks slightly.
