こあなのむこうにみえるもの

Wow, there's so many masks~

So this is what they've got this year, huh. Sheesh, their lineup never changes.

There's rabbits and octopi and cats and owls, and a bunch of other not-fox masks.

Aah, yeah. They've got lots of popular characters on TV, after all. Look, they've got Igo-san and Igon-kun too.

Oh, from your favorite show....Come to think of it, why do they have white foxes but no black foxes?

Huh? Well obviously, everything in this festival's supposed to be praising the master. White fox masks are an age-old tradition.

Then kurogitsunes aren't popular? Now that you mention it, character masks are always heroes of justice and stuff, huh. Like, the way they're all white...

Don't make people out to be villains just because they're black, stupid! Guys like us are rare! Though even if you wanted to make one I wouldn't let you, I'm not givin' up my copyright or whatever!

I don't really understand, but, if I saw a black fox mask I'd want it.

Huh? Why? You've already got a mask from me.

But it's fine if I want to wear a black one every once in a while, isn't it. I want to become Kurogitsune too...

Huuhhh!? Hey, that mask's really important, y'know....

...Hm? Wait a minute Kurogitsune.

Whaa!? Listen to me, you...!



???: ..............

Yue: .......I think someone's staring at me...

???: ..............

Yue: ...Is it someone I know?...maybe not... But he's staring reeally hard...I wonder why.

Kurogitsune: Huuh? What, are you curious about that guy with the glasses and the mask?

Yue: It's not that I'm curious, it's just...he's staring at us from over there.

Kurogitsune: Eh, it's fine. Sure that's a real hard stare, but it should be fine if you ignore him, right?

Yue: I guess so, but...but, I'm not sure........Am I...curious...?

???: .........................................Fox.



.......

But being stared at this hard, I'm not so much curious as I'm feeling uncomfortable...

It's fine, just forget 'im. Why don't we go somewhere else?

...Okay........................

.......*stare*...

.......He's still staring...

Don't worry about it. Come on, let's go already.

...What a strange person...



.......

So it ran away.....

...Tch.

.......

...A fox among men, huh.
