After we finished eating we parted ways. I usually take the bus to get home. When I was detained I heard a voice asking for help when I searched it turned out that there was a kitsune who was seriously injured so I took him to the veterinary clinic and brought him home with him. "Where did you find it, Aoi?" Aoi's grandfather said
"The bush near the park" replied Aoi
"Maybe the kitsune was fighting," said Aoi's grandfather
"It seems" Aoi replied
There is a history that the kitsune were guardians of a small shrine in front of the garden and there was a pair of kitsune. In the Shinto religion, many gods represent various things, such as the sea god, the sun god, and many more. Well, the god Inari himself represents rice, tea, and sake. Then what is the Inari fox? In legend, the gods were said to often choose animals as messengers. The god Inari also chose a white fox as his messenger. That's why Inari shrines in Japan have fox statues that act as temple guards.
When the kitsune was being treated he didn't eat then I remembered that this kitsune only eats Inari Sushi. According to legend, the fox's favorite food is aburaage. Therefore, this sushi is called Inari sushi. There is something unique, you know, this sushi can have a different taste and shape, depending on which area you eat it. In eastern Japan, for example, it is square and filled only with sushi rice. While in western Japan, inari sushi has a richer taste, as the rice is usually mixed with vegetables and other ingredients. In addition, it is triangular, resembling the shape of a fox's ears!
Day after day has passed, kitsune began to improve his condition. I also felt happy to see the situation, until one day the kitsune left without parting and then he came back with walnuts. Bini walnut is my favorite snack, the kitsune gave walnut seeds as a sign of gratitude for taking care of her during her healing treatment. Day after day the kitsune often visit our shrine, and occasionally I give Irani Sushi as a snack for the kitsune. Day after day has passed, kitsune began to improve his condition.

In the culinary field in Japan itself, types of tea such as matcha, sencha, bancha, and houjicha are types of tea that match the taste of Japanese dishes. However, it is undeniable that matcha is one of the most popular types of tea. The taste of matcha, which is slightly bitter, is very suitable to be paired with the taste of sweet and savory dishes. Therefore, we find many snacks such as ice cream, mochi, dorayaki, and so on that use this type of tea. And I'm making dorayaki.
"Wow, dorayaki," Tomoe said
"Aoi's made, it's the best," said Aoi's grandfather
"It's okay" replied Aoi
"I agree with Grandpa!" said Hime
Kitsune stopped by, then Hime noticed it ...
"The kitsune is so cute," said hime
"You keep kitsune?" Tomoe said
"No, one week ago he was injured and then I took care of him until he recovered and until now he just stopped by" replied Aoi
"He's already subscribed here," said Aoi's grandfather
"What subscription, grandpa?" Tomoe replied
"Barter walnuts with Inari sushi, hehehehe" replied Aoi
"Wow, what a smart kitsune" Hime replied
"Thank you" replied the kitsune
This kitsune can communicate but only to people who have intermediaries who are quite strong. Like me who is a Miko can be the intermediary.
