This was a girl with short, shoulder-length black hair, roughly like Fujiwara no Mei Hong's, and a pair of fluffy rabbit ears atop her head.
Yes, unlike Yae Sakura's ears, which made it hard to tell whether they were rabbit or fox ears, the girl before them could be identified at a glance. They were rabbit ears.
The girl's rabbit ears drooped down from a point slightly above their roots. As a rabbit yokai... unlike Yae Sakura's four-ear arrangement, she did not have human ears, so her human-ear area... was covered by her hair. Otherwise, it would probably have looked strange.
She wore an ordinary pink dress, the skirt flaring wide at the bottom, with a small red-carrot necklace tied around her neck.
She was barefoot, and there seemed to be a small, round rabbit tail behind her. It was hidden beneath her skirt, though, so it could not be seen clearly. She was quite short... calling her a girl would be less accurate than calling her a loli.
"Yes! Yes! I'm just an ordinary, weak little rabbit."
The rabbit yokai's ears had been grabbed, and she had been about to fly into a rage... but after sensing a deadly threat from Fu Hua, her expression instantly turned pitiful.
Pitiful, weak, frail...
She looked exactly like a poor little rabbit. No! She was a rabbit, simply playing to her strengths.
"A weak little rabbit? Why do I feel like you're anything but ordinary? Why have you been following us?"
Without worrying that she might run away, Fu Hua released her ears.
The moment Fu Hua let go, the rabbit yokai's solid-colored eyes shifted as she tried to slip away... planning to take revenge later. But before she could even turn around and flee, she felt a chill down her back.
