The world of the nine-tailed fox and the world of humans

02 First move into a boarding house!

I finally found my boarding house, and I've already packed my bags, so all I have to do is leave. But something feels uneasy. Maybe it's because I've been living here for so long... I'm overcome with an emotion I can't quite put my finger on. It's neither sadness nor joy, but something in between.

What should I say? I should be happy to be leaving this old house, but I feel uneasy and sad, like something is left behind. What is this feeling... Well, it might be different if I go to a boarding house. I might have fun again when I go, so let's go for now.

"thank you."

"Whew... I'm finally getting in!!!"

-Swoosh

"Huh? What is it? I felt like there was a fox nearby... It must be my imagination~"

-Knock knock knock

"Hmm...who are you...?"

"What the heck, why are you here!!! Do you live here, Kim Min-gyu?!"

"It was you who came here?!"

"This kid doesn't have a sister?"

"Yes, Sister..."

"Fuck, this kid is acting like he's 100 years younger than me. I'm the new boarder here."

"Wow, shit..."

"Shut up and get out."

"yes..."

"Fuck Mom!!!!"

"Eeeeek!!!!"

"..? Oh, I'm sorry...."

"Ah...yes..."

"Phew..."

"Do you want to fall behind, Min-gyu?"

"No, sis~"

"Oh my... I'm sorry..."

"No. But we're the same age?"

"Huh? You know me?"

"Oh, Seungcheol hyung told me everything...?"

"Oh, landlord?"

"Yeah, yeah. Do you want to talk? I'm Kwon Soon-young. I'm the same age as you!"

"Uh...yes! I'm Kim Yeo-ju."

"Wow...what a pretty name!"

"Ahh...thank you...but where is my room?"

"Oh, right. The third room from the front on the second floor."

"Are they all on the second floor??"

"Ah. No, no, we have 4 floors. The first floor has the living room, kitchen, and bathroom. The second floor is for the oldest. The third floor is for our friends the same age as us. The fourth floor is for Mingyu and the youngest."

"Oh, I see... Anyway, thank you!!"

"Yeah~"

"Hyung....I saw that older sister in the test earlier..."

"Oh. Fox. It's clear that you noticed the feeling. Even though it was so subtle, you noticed it. You're a real fox."

"I think that's right. People always say I'm a loser, but when I try to use it little by little, they flinch, so I thought that wasn't right."

"But hyung, your scent is really strong?"

"Ah. I tried to write to see what kind of reaction it was, but I guess it's because I suddenly wrote what my mom said earlier."

"Okay, so could you stop smelling so much? It's hard."

(Meanwhile, the female lead.)

Phew... I almost got possessed... What is this guy? Why is he pretending not to be a fox? That guy has that feeling from before. If you add a very similar scent to that feeling, then it's him. I can't get caught... Ha... Let's be a little more careful, Kim Yeo-ju.

"I have to unpack quickly and go... I don't think anyone will come in. Who would come in anyway?"

I took out my ears and tail to relax for a moment and started packing. If I get caught, I'll just say, "Oh...it's cosplay!"

While I was tidying up, I suddenly felt thirsty and forgot to bring water. I opened the door and went down the stairs. Everyone looked surprised. There were some faces I was seeing for the first time... But why were they surprised..?

"What? Why are you surprised?"

"That... that tail... that ear..."

"..ah..."

"Haha...is this cosplay..?"

"Uh...yes!!!!!"

"Oh my, surprise...yeah..."

I forgot that I had my tail and ears out. I'm not really that stupid... When I asked if it was cosplay, that pretty guy said, "Oh, yes!! That's how it was done..."

-dripping

"Fuck, I'm surprised... Come in..."

"Oh, I'm the landlord. Come out for a moment."

"Ah...yes..."
