The long-haired girl had really liked Little White Fox when she saw it just now.
She couldn't help reaching out to pet Little White Fox.
She thought her behavior was perfectly normal.
Before meeting Little White Fox, she'd occasionally come across cats and dogs she found especially cute, and whether they belonged to someone or not...
They never minded her touching them out of affection.
She just thought they were too cute and liked them so much that she wanted to get close to them...
What was wrong with that?
There was nothing wrong with it, right?
But she hadn't expected...
That one day, she would get hit for behaving that way.
The pain on the back of her hand gradually faded.
The long-haired girl was still stunned.
She was also a little angry and indignant.
And she was getting angrier and more indignant by the second.
Why?
Why had this fox hit her?!
She hadn't hurt it!
No matter how the long-haired girl looked at it, the fox was the one in the wrong.
That only made her feel more wronged.
"This fox hit me!"
The long-haired girl was both upset and indignant.
Her voice rose a few notches.
"It hit me!"
Although Little White Fox had moved very quickly, as the one who'd been hit, the long-haired girl had still caught a blurry glimpse of a white tail flashing past.
Then came the pain on the back of her hand.
"It hit me with its tail!" the long-haired girl added.
Huh?
The long-haired girl's companions were still a little doubtful. After all, they hadn't seen it happen.
But their friend had said it herself.
Whatever the truth was, of course they would take their friend's side.
"Why did you hit her?"
