“He said, hand over what you

stole.”

“You stole something from him?”

“No.”

Touya

answered his question, shaking his head. He had no memory of the

sort.

“Well, strange people coming in here is an everyday

occurrence. That’s why the structure of the house changes

daily.”

“That blue flame was—”

“A spell.

Whenever anyone unknown comes in, it works as a guardian, it’s like a

part of my fangs always at the house.”

Kiri’s

fangs—

Suddenly, the image of a tiger baring its fangs came

to his mind, making him tremble, but he clenched his fists tightly.

Kiri had protected him, so there was nothing to fear. Due to that

fox, it was now engraved in his mind just how dangerous it was to go

outside. However, there was one thing he couldn’t understand. If

someone was coming after Touya, it was because he was an

undeveloped cat—or at least that was what Kiri told him, but he

didn’t think the fox from this afternoon was planning on catnapping

him. The words, hand over what you stole, were strange. What would a

fox want with an undeveloped cat anyway? It was a contradiction.
