"My story..."
"I don't know who my father was. I only heard my mother say that he was a very handsome fox demon. She fell in love with him the first time she saw him. My mother was human, the most beautiful woman in the local village..."
Though she did not particularly want to talk about it, Yae Sakura had insisted, so after hesitating for a moment, she could only tell Yae Sakura about herself.
But Yae Sakura was also a Half-Demon, so Mayoi did not have any other thoughts about it. She did not think Yae Sakura was mocking her.
Mayoi had grown up by her mother's side and had barely ever seen her father! Her mother had originally been the most admired beauty in the village, but after marrying a demon and giving birth to a Half-Demon, everyone in the village began to reject her.
Mayoi could often hear those people speaking badly of her mother behind her back.
Of course, they did not dare do anything to Mayoi's mother, because her father was a demon. If he came looking for them, they would be in serious trouble.
So although they were rejected and hated by the villagers, they could still live on as long as they ignored those looks—until one day, when an evil, terrifying man-eating demon appeared in the village.
Mayoi had not known what was happening at the time. She only knew that everyone in the village was fleeing in panic and screaming, until the demon came near her and her mother.
However, Mayoi had not seen the demon clearly. While her mother was carrying her and fleeing, they were struck from behind and sent flying by the demon.
Mayoi fell to the ground and only managed to open her eyes after a long while.
