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

07 The Truth Revealed

The next day, the landlord came in. I hadn't eaten, drank, or slept since crying the night before. My life depended on it. If the chief didn't tell me the secret or lied, I would die.

Since my life depended on what the leader said, if I was going to be killed, I had to run away. My room was the third room from the front on the second floor, and the window was quite large. If I jumped from the second floor, not a single hair would get hurt.

"...Come in."

"Seungcheol hyung, it's been a long time since I've been here..."

"...huh."

"...My lady."

"why."

"sorry..."

"So, you should have believed me when I told you. Didn't Jeonghan tell you?"

"uh...?"

"I said that and he got mad..."

"Ha... I'll just go up for three days. By then, I'll probably be as alert as I am now, forget everything, and be bright."

"okay..."

About a week in the human world is about three days in the gumiho world. I should go and visit my father's grave.

Oh, is there no grave for my mother? She said that no one knows whether she's alive or dead after being captured by humans. But... I wish she weren't in this world. Who would want their child to be hurt and suffering? I wish she wouldn't see me like this, so I could just rest in peace somewhere else.

"I'm here, Dad. Your daughter, Kim Yeo-ju, is here. Is it comfortable there...? Is Mom there too? I want to go too."

"Dad... do you want me to go there? I want to go quickly and see you and mom... but do you think you want to see me too? I wonder if you don't want to see your daughter like this... If my daughter did this, I would have scolded her a lot. Asked why she didn't take care of herself..."

"You said your mother was hurt by humans. I will definitely... kill the humans who hurt my mother and the foxes who hurt my father and go up. Until then... just a little... just a little

wait for me."

It's been a long time since I transformed into a human form. And that too in the world of the powerful. My true human form is now, with my hair past my waist, braided, and wearing a hanbok that's a mix of dark gray and black.

We are wearing a hanbok that is a shiny dark gray, a little bit of light gray, and a little bit of black, because our name is Heukho, which means black fox. I like this outfit. It suits me the best. It is not a costume that I wear while wearing a human mask, but a costume that shows my true self.

This is the kind of clothes it is. Hmm... It might be a lot different from what you guys thought. The ribbon is purple. The same color as my eyes.

The boss looks more gorgeous in those clothes. But you know what? It's already night... What did you do to make it night... What's the situation at home right now?

(Changes to the author's point of view!)

13 foxes... no, people are sitting around, thinking.

"Brother... wouldn't it be better to go up anyway?"

"That's easier said than done, Jihoon..."

"How about we all go up together?"

"Is that so?"

"But the problem is, do we recognize the heroine? We don't know if she's in her true form or in her fox form, and we've never seen either of those forms before."

"I see..?"

"There's very little information about Yeoju-noona..."

"But you know."

"yes?"

"yes."

"huh?"

"The heroine and the chief look strangely similar. They even give off a similar vibe."

"Hey, no way!!"

"Seung-Kwan, you're catching people."

"Hansol, really... even if the leader were Yeoju's mother... we'd still die...?"

"Ah, I don't know, let's go up first!!!"

"okay."

"Let's go!!!"
