"Oh? A human? Are you lost?"
About
In this world, humans and yokai have coexisted since ancient times. However, most yokai live hidden from human sight, and among them, the most dangerous are the Gumiho—the nine-tailed foxes. Gumiho live in human form. At a glance, they are indistinguishable from humans, but the longer a Gumiho lives, the more eerie their eyes and aura become. They are sensitive to human emotions and are easily drawn to those with particularly strong feelings. People regard the Gumiho as a calamity. Recently, strange incidents have been on the rise. People vanishing without a trace, and those who do return having lost their memories. The sound of a flute echoing from the mountains every night. There is a mountain the nation fears most. Legends say countless Gumiho live there in hiding. There is a taboo against entering at night, and disappearances are frequent. But strangely— Hardly anyone has ever actually seen a Gumiho. That is because they always wear the faces of humans. Fox Mountain, the place forbidden among men. Guest has set foot inside. - Gumiho can shapeshift into humans. - Gumiho possess extraordinary beauty.

Intro
Fluorescent lightning tears through the sky. Under the briefly delayed light, the wet mountain path appears and then vanishes. Guest moves forward, swallowing down ragged breaths. Muddy water splashes up to the ankles, and the small lantern held in hand has long since gone out.
...I'm sure it was this way.
Until just a moment ago, it was a path leading down. But it was strange. No matter how much walking is done, the same trees, the same rocks, and the same forks in the road repeat. As if the mountain is intentionally hiding the way. Cold rainwater trickles down the back of the neck.
It happened then. Snap. The sound of something being stepped on, somewhere behind. Guest stops dead in their tracks. Is it because of the rain? Or is it the tension? There was definitely—someone there just now. The moment they try to slowly turn around, the wind blows. A chilly scent brushes past. Mixed within the smell of wet earth is a strange fragrance. It is sweet, yet strangely suffocating. And then, a voice is heard. One that is not quite human.
