Yes, Lady Funina!

"It's a raccoon dog, not a crane. You know we're birds of a feather?" the young girl corrected.

"Klee doesn't know." Klee shook her head honestly; she really hadn't heard of this idiom.

If you say there's a pond full of fish, she might be interested, but if you say there are a bunch of bastards, Klee will just think the little hill is a nuisance.

Fulina knew about raccoon dogs, but she was more curious about how the little girl's parents could let her come out in this desolate place.

Could it be that you got lost?

Funina bent down and spoke softly to the little girl in front of her who claimed to be dressed in a raccoon dog costume:

"Little friend, where are your parents? Why are you all alone outside the city?"

As she spoke, Funina also said to Richard:

"Why don't we go and find this child's parents first? Such a cute little girl, I don't know how heartbroken her parents would be if she got lost."

Kind-hearted Funina always knew what was important and what wasn't. Although she really wanted to see the fox demon, the safety of the children was definitely more important than the fox demon.

This is Fumen, great, no words are needed!

“Zaoyou is already an adult!” Zaoyou seemed a little flustered after hearing Funina’s words.

Zaoyou is already very concerned about her height, and now being treated like a child has directly stepped on Zaoyou's landmine (Note: Zaoyou's landmines are the raccoon dog and her height).

Is she really that short? How could she be mistaken for a child!

Looking at Zaoyou, who was about the same height as Keli, Funina was at a loss for words.

Are you really an adult?

Is he going through a rebellious phase and lying about his age here?

"What's with that suspicious look you're giving me? And why are you just standing there watching, Lord Miyaji?" Zaoyou asked, her little face puffed out, as she looked at Yae no Miko who was smiling silently to the side.

"Oh dear, we've been found out." Yae no Miko showed no remorse whatsoever; on the contrary, our fox deity even wore a happy smile.

Fortunately, Yae no Miko saw that the show was over and finally helped Hayayu prove that the other party was indeed an adult and was not lying about her age.

"I can vouch for that. Zaoyou is indeed an adult, she just looks a bit young."

"He's really an adult?" Fryna was shocked, and Klee's expression was exactly the same as Fryna's.

Klee was initially quite happy to see Yuzuru, thinking she would have someone her age to play with, but she didn't expect her to be an adult like Diona.

"So, Hayato, are you slacking off again today?" Yae no Miko asked.

Zaoyou shook her head; she had important business to attend to today.

"The head of the family asked me to pass on a message to you, saying that there is something important to discuss with you. Hmm... let me think. Right, it's about the Rongcai Festival. It seems that someone wants to cause trouble..." As Zaoyou spoke, she lowered her head and patted herself for a while.

He then took out a letter and solemnly handed it to Yae no Miko.

After submitting the letter, he seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden, and his demeanor immediately relaxed.

She was already quite relaxed, and now she gives off the impression that she could fall asleep standing up.

Fulina was shocked; it was the first time she had ever met someone who was even more prone to sleepiness than herself.

"Um, this isn't a suitable place to sleep, is it?" Funina whispered a reminder.

"Zaoyou...Zaoyou...I...I didn't sleep, I was just...a little sleepy-zzZ'"

The tiny child leaned against a large tree and fell into a deep, baby-like sleep.

this……-

Funina looked at Richard with pleading eyes, as if asking him what to do.

Yae no Miko, who had already put the letter away, was not surprised by this. The fox spirit whispered a few words in Hayato's ear.

Then, Zaoyou suddenly woke up as if she were having a nightmare. Then, with a 'bang,' a cloud of green smoke rose from the spot. When the smoke dissipated, Zaoyou had disappeared.

"She, she, she..." Funina was like a child who had never seen the world before. When she saw the missing Zaoyou, she was so excited that she couldn't say a word.

Is this the legendary ninja?

So Inazuma really does have ninjas!

"Disappeared?" Klee trotted over to the spot where Hayato had stood, shook her head left and right, looked around for a while, and after confirming that the person had really disappeared into thin air, her eyes immediately lit up with stars.

"Amazing!"

Yae no Miko put away the letter that Hayato had given her. Although she didn't open it, she already knew about its contents.

"Saya is a ninja belonging to the [Final Chapter], um, the kind of ninja from literature. Are Ms. Furina and Klee very interested in ninjas?" Yae Miko asked.

"It's just a little bit." Funina gestured with her fingertips, indicating the universe.

Klee, on the other hand, was much more honest. She nodded excitedly and said bluntly:

"I'm very interested. If I can learn how to do it, I won't have to worry about being caught by Commander Qin when I'm frying fish!"

Klee could almost picture herself turning into a wisp of smoke and escaping when Jean caught her frying fish.

Even solitary confinement couldn't hold her!

Li realized that Ke Li was really having some wild ideas; as the saying goes, you can run away from the monk, but you can't run away from the temple.

Even if we didn't catch her in the act, Klee will still have to go home eventually, right? Besides, there's no way this little trick could fool Jean.

Of course, Richard didn't expose the child's beautiful fantasy, after all, Klee couldn't possibly learn any ninjutsu.

“If you want to learn ninjutsu, you can ask Richard; he’s quite knowledgeable about it,” Yae no Miko said.

Like all travelers from out of town who come to Inazuma, Richard was quite interested in the mysterious ninjutsu when he first arrived in Inazuma.

In fact, she even endured humiliation and called Yae no Miko "sister" several times in order to learn ninjutsu.

It's fortunate that Yae no Kamiko didn't have a recording device at the time; otherwise, recording it would have been another major 'weapon'.

Of course, those few calls of "sister" weren't for nothing; Yae no Miko really did get things done when she paid him.

Several famous teachers were found for Richard, but Richard was not very satisfied with the results. After going around in circles, he finally became a disciple of Shadow.

This immediately elevates one's status. Take the 'Wuhu Sect' to which Zaoyou belongs, for example. Na Bai is Zaoyou's teacher, and even he has to respectfully address Richard as their patriarch.

“Never heard of him!” Funina felt she knew nothing about Richard.

"Klee's never heard of it either!" Klee was a clever little girl.

"It's just some trickery, nothing to brag about." After Yae no Miko said that, Richard was finally able to find his memories of learning ninjutsu from his long-forgotten past.

However, compared to the diverse schools of ninjutsu in the Inazuma ninja world, Richard's ninjutsu was much simpler and more direct. In general, Richard only learned two types.

First, it involves restraining one's breath; second, it involves the 'profound meaning of non-thought'.

After all, ninjutsu is essentially a tactic that uses hidden weapons and ambushes.

He concealed his aura and then unleashed that thoughtless strike.

Tell me if it was a hidden weapon or an ambush!

Just tell me if the enemy is dead or not!

After Richard's explanation, Fryna gained a general understanding of ninjas, while Klee, standing to the side, looked disappointed.

She thought she could fry fish without any fear of getting caught!

However, Richard didn't disappoint Klee. He told Klee that the Tanuki clan was also very skilled in this kind of stealth and infiltration technique, and that she could ask them for advice when she met them.

It's unlikely that there was absolutely no gain.

Klee's enthusiasm increased significantly upon hearing this, while Yae no Miko looked at Richard with amusement, as if she had seen through everything.

You even lied to your own sister. When Klee finds out she can't learn stealth, let's see how you handle that.

Richard said he wasn't worried at all. He said he would learn something, but it didn't mean that Klee would definitely learn the art of stealth and concealment.

There are many things you can gain; does it have to be learning a specific skill to be considered a gain?

Happiness is also a kind of gain. When it comes to raising children, you and Funina can both learn a lot!

After this little incident, Richard and his group arrived deep in the dense forest.

Because of the lush grass and dense canopy, the sun was blocked from the sky, making the whole forest appear quiet and secluded.

Originally, Furnessa was walking ahead of Richard and Claire, but after entering the forest, she had somehow hidden behind Richard.

Every two steps, that exquisitely beautiful face would glance back, as if a pair of eyes were watching her from where she had come from.

That's terrifying!

Fu Ningna never expected that the demon fox clan would live in such a secluded jungle.

Fortunately, Richard was with her; otherwise, Funina alone would never have come.

Because the environment was so serene, and the scene stirred up memories, Funina felt as if she had returned to the night she was attacked by the servants.

She still can't forget. (jpg)

"How much further?" Funina asked softly, afraid that her voice would be too loud and disturb the unseen ghost in the forest.

In contrast, Clorind felt much more at ease. Surrounded by lush vegetation, she felt as if she were back home.

His hands unconsciously rested on the sidearm at his waist, as if he were about to switch into hunting mode at the slightest provocation.

"Almost there, almost there," Yae no Miko replied to Funina's question with a smile.

"I remember you said that just a few minutes ago, right? By the way... isn't Klee scared?" Furnessa asked Klee, who was holding Richard's hand, as she walked past Richard from the middle.

"Afraid?" A look of confusion flashed in Klee's eyes. Why should she be afraid? Isn't this just a very common jungle landscape?

Klee used to go into the woods every day when she was in Mondstadt; the environment there was no different from being at home.

As for Yae no Miko, needless to say, as a famous great demon of Inazuma, she can be said to be the creature at the top of the entire Inazuma food chain. It should be the other creatures in the forest who should be afraid.

It's fair to say that among the five people who visited the fox spirit's residence, only Funina was a true city dweller.

The other four all had some experience in wilderness survival.

When the city dweller Funina heard Claire's question, she couldn't help but twitch her lips, perhaps feeling a little embarrassed.

Our Water God also straightened his chest and said:

"I'm just worried that you won't be used to it, Claire. If you're scared, just snuggle into your big sister's arms."

As soon as Funina finished speaking, a voice suddenly rang out from inside the woods.

"Get inside! Get inside!"

The voice did not belong to any of Richard's group, and it sounded high-pitched and thin, like a child's voice. The source of the voice was also unknown, making it seem particularly abrupt and eerie in this quiet forest.

"Alas!!!"

Funina's ahoge (cowlick) stood on end in fright. She grabbed Richard's arm and clung to him like a koala, looking like she wanted to hang on him.

Her head was pressed against Richard's arm, her face pale as she buried herself tightly in Richard's embrace, her eyes closed, her long eyelashes trembling.

I was terrified.

Because of Frynn's overreaction, Klee, who was initially somewhat afraid, became less frightened.

Of course, Richard could also clearly feel that Klee's hand was also exerting force, so she must have been a little nervous.

"Master Ji, stop fooling around." Yae no Miko broke the silence, pointing her gaze at the bushes not far away.

"Yo!" Accompanied by a strange sound, the bushes suddenly transformed into a raccoon carrying a bundle.

Unlike ordinary tanuki, this tanuki named Jifushi has very bright and intelligent eyes.

"Hello!" Master Ji didn't know Klee and Fryna, but he was quite familiar with Richard and Yae no Miko.

This is also why it appeared before Richard and Yae no Miko.

Funina, who had been burying her head in Richard's arms, gradually raised her head after hearing the broken human language.

Upon seeing the little raccoon in front of her, she realized that this was the raccoon spirit she had been looking for.

"It can even talk!" After seeing the demon fox's true form, Funina's fear of the unknown gradually dissipated, and she began to curiously examine the small creature before her. "Of course... it... can... talk!" Master Ji replied affirmatively.

"Human, friend, you... I don't know you," Master Ji said haltingly.

"But, a friend's, a friend's, is also a friend."
