The little fox's name was Yasaka. She was the daughter of the commander-in-chief of Kyoto's youkai and the little princess who managed the underworld of Kyoto.
Although she had told Arthas her identity, the girl still seemed to be somewhat skeptical of him, not completely believing what Arthas had said.
Regarding this, Arthas could only shrug helplessly, then call Azazel and Gabriel to inform them.
It was better to leave this kind of difficult matter to these professionals to handle.
Whether it was Gabriel or Azazel, they both took Arthas's report very seriously. When he and Yasaka came out of the shrine, they found that the two of them were already waiting there.
As for those crow tengu and fox shrine maidens who had attacked Arthas not long ago, they were still standing in place, maintaining their original poses.
"You...Why don't you quickly undo the evil art you cast on them!"
Looking at the appearance of her servants, Yasaka said this somewhat unhappily.
"This isn't any evil art. It's just a little trick."
As Arthas said this, he waved his hand lightly, and then all those who had been frozen returned to normal.
After being released by Arthas, everyone gasped for air as if they had been saved, staring at Arthas with some fear.
After seeing Gabriel and Azazel arrive, they understood that the man in front of them wasn't an enemy, but that didn't stop them from fearing Arthas.
"Hmph! Who knows what tricks you used. Lord Gabriel, it's been a long time!"
The little fox, who had let out a dissatisfied snort, suddenly saw Gabriel's figure and shouted with joy, seeming to recognize her.
"Hehe, it's been a long time, little Kuyo. Back then, you were still cuddling in your mother's arms."
"Waaaaah...Lord Gabriel, my mom was captured, and this bad guy bullied me too!"
After seeing Gabriel, Kuyo immediately rushed into her arms, crying.
"Don't worry, little Kuyo. We will definitely help you find your mom."
Comforting the crying girl in her arms, Gabriel said this, the expression on the Seraph's face also looking somewhat serious.
"Could it be the Khaos Brigade who did this?" Arthas raised his eyebrows and said a name.
"It seems that they're the only ones who could have done it." Gabriel nodded helplessly.
"By the way, just who is this bad guy?"
Looking at Arthas and Gabriel, who seemed to be very familiar with each other, little Kuyo couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Oh, him? He's the strongest soldier in the Underworld's history. Don't worry, with this guy around, we'll definitely be able to rescue your mom quickly." Gabriel said comfortingly.
"What, just a soldier!" The little fox curled her lips, clearly looking down on Arthas, but Gabriel just smiled slightly and didn't care.
"I didn't do anything to you, did I? Why did I suddenly become a bad guy for no reason? You have to be reasonable."
"Hmph, a bad guy is a bad guy!" The little fox said somewhat awkwardly, hiding in Gabriel's arms and turning her head away.
"Alright, this isn't the place to talk. Serafall from Hell has also come. Let's go over and discuss it together."
Azazel said this, and everyone nodded, setting off together. Under Gabriel's guidance, the group stepped into a place that was completely different from the outside world.
Like a combination of Edo-era streets, old houses stood side by side, and strange creatures showed their faces from the doors, windows, and passageways.
"I didn't expect that the torii gate set up in an unpopular place in Kinkaku-ji would lead to another world once you passed through it."
Arthas clicked his tongue in wonder as he looked around. Because he was showing a harmless appearance, all the little youkai were curiously looking at him, but because of the Seraph Gabriel and the Fallen Angel Governor-General Azazel by his side, no one dared to approach.
The space here seemed somewhat dim, and the air was also different from the outside, because it was, after all, a place where youkai lived.
"Welcome, Lord Gabriel...and Lord Azazel." A fox youkai girl who looked very mature came to greet them.
"Lord Leviathan is already waiting for you inside."
So, under the guidance of the fox youkai, they first passed through a place where houses stood side by side, and entered a forest with a small river running through it.
Continuing deeper from this place, a huge red torii gate appeared.
In front of that, a super-large house had been built, giving off an ancient and dignified feeling. In front of the torii gate, Serafall, wearing a kimono, was already there!
"Oh, you've finally arrived. Yay, I've been waiting anxiously, you know? Arthas, did you bully little Kuyo?"
Serafall joked in a cute tone.
"I...I wasn't bullied. I'm a fox spirit, you know? A little devil like him can easily be subdued by me!"
Being called out by Serafall, Kuyo immediately blushed, explaining in a somewhat flustered manner.
"It's good that little Kuyo is okay. At first, after learning that even the little princess had been captured by strange people, the youkai were in an uproar for a long time."
So what exactly did I do? I clearly didn't do anything, right!
Arthas rolled his eyes unhappily.
Walking into the house, the group sat down in a circle in the hall, and Arthas also understood what had happened.
The leader of the youkai who managed this Kyoto - the Nine-Tailed Fox, or Yasaka - had left this house a few days ago in order to have a meeting with the envoy sent by Indra from Mount Sumeru.
However, Miss Yasaka didn't appear at the venue where she was supposed to meet with Indra's envoy.
Feeling that something was amiss, the youkai launched an investigation, protecting a crow tengu who had been accompanying Miss Yasaka, who seemed to be on the verge of death.
That crow tengu, on the verge of death, told the youkai that Miss Yasaka had been attacked by someone and then kidnapped.
Therefore, the youkai thoroughly searched for suspicious people in Kyoto, and as a result, Kuyo, who was worried about her mother, attacked Arthas, a stranger, without asking any questions.
"So, this time, I'm asking the Three Factions to provide assistance in rescuing my mother."
Sitting in the seat of honor, Kuyo said this with the proper demeanor of a little princess.
Sigh, whenever the various factions are about to join hands, this kind of thing easily happens. That time with Odin, Loki came?
This time, the guys from the Khaos Brigade are playing the role of the enemy.
Azazel curled his lips and looked at Arthas. Last time, this guy had directly eliminated Loki and the wolf Fenrir together.
"It's not surprising that it's the Khaos Brigade. After all, they're already our old opponents. I just don't know what their purpose is in kidnapping the youkai leader of Kyoto."
Arthas said this somewhat casually, immediately making everyone present fall into thought.
