"... Such a square cat!"
Seeing the cat box flopping its short little legs on the roof, Yun Xu couldn't help but exclaim.
"The fox spoke!"
The cat box, which was flopping its short little legs trying to roll over, also exclaimed upon hearing this.
"What's the big deal? You're a box spirit, and you're talking too."
Yun Xu waved his paws, saying indifferently.
"Who's a box spirit? You just said I was a cat...!"
The cat box said discontentedly, then with a 'bang' and a puff of smoke, the cat box disappeared, and a Damselette holding a delivery box appeared in its place.
The Damselette had long flaxen hair and grass-green pupils, dressed in blue-green clothing modified in an Inazuman style.
A small portion of the Damselette's hair at the back of his head was tied into a single Horsetail, with a large bow tied at the base of the Horsetail.
Due to the special position of the bow, from the front, it looked like two cat ears.
Besides this, the Damselette also had two lively, moving cat tails behind him, and his feet were shaped like cat paws. All these features confirmed his identity.
"A talking fox... Oh no! You're not here to supervise me on behalf of Guuji Yae Miko, are you?!"
"Seriously, I promised I wouldn't be late..."
After transforming back into human form from the cat box, the Damselette finally rolled over from the roof, stood up holding the delivery box, and couldn't help but guess Yun Xu's identity.
Talking animals in Inazuma were usually suspected of being Youko.
"Who is Guuji Yae Miko? What's overdue?"
Yun Xu scratched his head in confusion, but since the Damselette had transformed, there was no need for Yun Xu to hide anything, and he quickly transformed back into his youth form.
"Mhm, mhm, you really are a Youko. Hello, my name is Kirara... Oh wait, if I delay any longer, Guuji Yae Miko's package will really be overdue!"
"I'm leaving first!"
The Damselette named Kirara nodded his head, introducing himself, but after glancing down at the delivery box in his hand, he remembered he didn't have much time. After saying a word to Yun Xu, he hurriedly jumped up with the delivery box, transforming back into a cat box in mid-air and leaping onto another house.
Watching his rapidly receding figure, Yun Xu curiously transformed back into a white fox and followed him.
This Kirara was the only Youko Yun Xu had seen since coming down the mountain.
Yun Xu believed he was not an element life, nor did he cultivate as an immortal, so he could only be called a Youko.
Therefore, Youko were his true kin.
It was a pity that after the God War in previous years, Youko rarely appeared on the land of Liyue.
He didn't expect to encounter one as soon as he arrived in Inazuma, and they even had a 'head start' — they literally bumped heads.
Kirara, whose package was about to be overdue, put all his strength into his legs, leaping and running non-stop across the rooftops, heading towards his distant destination.
However, this was no challenge for Yun Xu, who used to live in the mountains. He easily caught up with Kirara, running alongside him.
"Meow?"
Noticing Yun Xu following him, Kirara immediately accelerated with all his might. The cute cat expression on the cat box turned into a wide-open mouth with closed eyes.
But he still couldn't shake Yun Xu off.
Under this pursuit, Kirara quickly arrived at his destination, a publishing house called Yae Publishing House.
"Guuji Yae Miko, your package!"
Kirara jumped down from the air first, gracefully gliding down and landing in front of a woman who was already waiting in front of Yae Publishing House.
Yun Xu had to brake on the rooftop, but he paused slightly when he looked at Yae Publishing House.
"Oh, not bad. Let me check the time... Oh dear, it seems to be one second overdue~"
The pink-haired woman was casually flipping through the light novels for sale at a stall at the entrance of Yae Publishing House. Upon hearing Kirara's voice, she slowly turned around.
She wore a red and white Miko outfit, with the furisode sleeves separated from the upper garment, fixed on her upper arms like arm covers.
But what caught Yun Xu's attention the most were the pair of fox ears, slightly drooping backward, mixed with her pink long hair, adorned with golden earrings set with purple gems.
Yun Xu could clearly sense that this pink-haired, purple-eyed woman was also a fox transformed into human form.
"Eh! You can't count it that way, Guuji Yae Miko. It was only late when you spoke, but I clearly arrived early..."
Hearing the other party's words, Kirara said somewhat aggrievedly, his cat tails behind him drooping motionless.
He remembered the time very clearly.
"This Guuji was just teasing you."
Guuji Yae Miko chuckled, covering her mouth.
"Then please sign for it, Guuji Yae Miko~"
Kirara finally relaxed, his two cat tails behind him becoming lively again. At the same time, he handed the delivery receipt and the package to Guuji Yae Miko.
"Yae Miko..."
"Oh dear, how many people in Inazuma yearn for this Guuji's autograph, yet you Komaniya Express can compile this Guuji's signatures into a book."
After signing her name, Yae Miko couldn't help but sigh.
Kirara scratched his head. If he remembered correctly, although Yae Miko wasn't the owner of Komaniya Express, he seemed to have a share of the profits... "Alright, alright, why are you still standing there? Quickly take the receipt back. Or are you... this Guuji's personal delivery boy today?"
At this moment, Yae Miko handed the delivery receipt to Kirara and reminded him.
"Ah, right! Goodbye, Guuji Yae Miko, I'm off to deliver more packages!"
Kirara exclaimed, hurriedly picked up the delivery box, transformed back into a cat box state, said goodbye to Yae Miko, and turned to run.
"Oh dear, be careful, don't get hurt."
Watching Kirara rush off in a hurry, Yae Miko chuckled and reminded him.
The surrounding Yae Publishing House employees dared not peek at her, so her gentle chuckle only fell into the eyes of Yun Xu on the nearby rooftop.
And at this moment, Yae Miko's ears twitched slightly, and the golden earrings set with purple gems swayed twice with the movement.
Then, Yae Miko turned her head and looked in Yun Xu's direction.
Yun Xu was lying on the rooftop. Seeing that he had been discovered, his peeking head somewhat awkwardly retracted.
'A white fox...'
"Whose little fox is peeking at older sister? Come down quickly, older sister won't be angry~"
Yae Miko's eyes rolled, then a sweet smile appeared on her face as she waved towards Yun Xu's direction.
Hearing Yae Miko's voice, Yun Xu jumped down from the rooftop with a hint of doubt, landing in front of Yae Publishing House.
"Come, come here to older sister~"
Seeing this, Yae Miko half-squatted down, extending both hands towards Yun Xu, trying to entice him to come closer.
"Ah... um... hello?"
However, Yae Miko's actions made Yun Xu even more hesitant to approach. He could only raise one paw and try to greet her.
"So it's a little one with awakened intelligence. No wonder he kept staring at this Guuji."
"But white foxes haven't appeared in Inazuma for a long time. Where exactly are you from?"
Hearing Yun Xu's voice, Yae Miko stood up with a slight disappointment, but still asked curiously...
