So with the conversation reaching this point, pink-furred fox, you should now understand what your issue is, right?
Your behavior toward Kirara was indeed a bit too much.
Recognize your mistake, then sincerely apologize—generally, conflicts can still be resolved.
However, the plan to scare the pink-furred fox has encountered an obstacle.
Because the Shura Anyakonsen-shou is ultimately not a trash fox.
The reason his reputation is good isn't because he pays attention to his reputation, but because he is inherently the kind of person who restrains himself.
This leads to the current problem: the little fox has seen through the Shura Anyakonsen-shou's plan.
Now realizing she's perfectly safe, the trash fox has directly given up resistance and is just smiling while watching the old uncle Shura Anyakonsen-shou simply fiddle with his fingers to scare the fox.
"Oh dear, is a certain little guy really planning to make a move? Really going to do it? Do you have the guts?"
And in response to the trash fox's provocation, the old uncle's mouth twitched.
Well, being too honest, in this instant he suddenly felt like he was the one being played.
But Miko... this time my thoughts are very serious.
Teasing people also needs a bottom line. It's fine if you like seeing others' troubled expressions.
But you shouldn't deliberately create problems that cause others distress.
This time, deliberately triggering the whole Kirara fox-or-cat thing already went too far.
And thinking back to what this fox did in the Genshin Impact storyline...
Challenging Itto to a duel-eating contest and deliberately choosing fox udon, which contains fried tofu...
Itto is allergic to beans...
Although afterward Itto won spectacularly and it was indeed very entertaining...
But how to put it?
This kind of entertainment derived from suffering...
What's the difference between parents turning their child's inner scars into drinking-table jokes?
Suffering can indeed be entertaining and make people happy, but the reason for the happiness...
Is it because you haven't experienced that suffering, or because you have experienced it but feel powerless, so you cover that buried inner pain with a smile?
Miko, joking is one thing, seeking fun is another.
No one should build their happiness on someone else's pain—unless that someone else isn't a person.
At this moment, Mizuki could feel the "Shura" part emanating from the Shura Anyakonsen-shou.
It was an extremely serious feeling, forming a stark contrast with the old uncle's usual spring-breeze-like gentleness.
At first it was very cold—cold enough that Mizuki felt the Shura Anyakonsen-shou might pull out his polearm and give the pink-furred fox a strike.
But soon it warmed up again. Still cold, but not completely cold—just overly cold compared to the surrounding warmth.
0°C, the temperature of an ice-water mixture under standard atmospheric pressure.
Yet at this moment, Miko still hadn't noticed the Shura Anyakonsen-shou's serious attitude. She continued watching him like a fun-seeking fox.
Hm... it's not that she hadn't noticed at all. Yae Miko had observed the little guy's gradually serious expression.
However, the pink-furred fox didn't choose to behave honestly at this point. Instead, she tried to maintain her fearless appearance to see what this little guy would do. The fox wanted to see what the little guy would look like when serious to the end.
And Cid also crossed that inner safety line—his large hand directly reached toward the pink-furred fox.
When the pink-furred fox saw that hand—which had always maintained a safe distance—finally coming toward her, she realized she had probably overplayed her hand and successfully angered the little guy.
Wah wah wah...
No big deal. Anyway, Mizuki's skills are pretty good, and the Shura Anyakonsen-shou is surely no slouch either.
Even if she overplayed it, this little fox is still making a huge profit!
Probably.
