Chapter 414 CH 400: THE TOWER

Inari gazed at Yui with a quiet gaze. Soon, a smile stretched her lips before she spoke, "I received similar words so many times. I guess, everyone already has their minds fixed about me."

Though she was smiling, her words held no warmth in them as she went ahead and took a seat facing Yui.

"Very well, where is your boy?"

"What plans do you have for him? Or are you the kind of woman who would seduce the boy your daughter is enamored with?"

Inari brought up the sleeve of her kimono and laughed lightly, "I am an old woman. I do not think such a young lad would be interested in someone like me."

She looked around before laughing even more,

"Though, I must say… He is truly more skilled than I expected."

Inari waved her hand once and—

Crack~!

The air seemed to break completely before revealing a new interior, completely different from what it once looked like when Inari entered the establishments.

All the people who seemed to be waiting to serve her and the people working in the surroundings vanished completely even the ones at the door had vanished after she casually waved her hands. In the end, only Yui was left sitting alone, with a bitter smile on her face.

"I didn't expect it to work but you surpassed what I had anticipated."

"Fufufu~ Don't you think using illusions on me in the first place was ridiculous?"

"Oh, I do. But what can I say, he wanted to give it a try."

"What an intrepid boy."

Inari seemed to be in a good mood as she tilted her head to the side and looked toward the door, her gaze seemingly gazing far ahead from what the door could seemingly block.

"Though he does have the skills to back it up at least."

Far from being angered at the idea of someone trying to test her might, Inari found herself entertained. After all, she was a fox at heart and few things were more interesting than a battle of illusions.

'Amusing.'

A grin that was far from lady like formed on her face. But she managed to keep her feelings in check.

A light laughter, far lighter than before, escaped her lips at the mention of the boy, "Now boy… Did anyone tell you one shouldn't peek at the secrets of a lady? It's very rude, don't you think?"

She seemed to speak to no one in particular but her gaze went far ahead, to a place where her words were able to reach the one they were meant for…

Standing on a building more than 2.6 kilometers away from the bar, Adam wore an expression of utter and complete disbelief on his face as he looked at the transparent screen before him.

What he had just seen was too much even more him and he took a few seconds to digest what he had just witnessed,

"What the fuck…."

Adam, who had not used his [Eyes of Truth] seriously in some time couldn't help but swear out loud when he finally used it on Tsubasa's mother.

Remark: At this point, I can say you are a crazy people magnet. But even for you, that woman might be a tad too much. 』

It had been a long time since he witnessed something like this. This reminded him of all the aliases Medusa had and her current age was also greyed out.

What could this possibly mean? Was the woman in front of him, truly the mother of Hanekawa or someone else entirely?

Finally, if the list of titles was right…She was a Zodiac?

It was then, that Adam heard words, entering his ears as clearly as if he was close to her;

"Now boy… Did anyone tell you one shouldn't peek at the secrets of a lady? It's very rude, don't you think?"

'Well…'

Adam stretched a little and began to sigh. Yui had told him that Inari was an expert in Illusions and the way she had broken his own illusions pissed him off a little but at the same time this was an occasion for him to learn and witnessed the art in the hand of someone else.

"Heh…Let's see what this fox has to say."

He jumped off the building before flying at full speed toward the Wild Hunt. He had the impression that this meeting would be very interesting.

[1]: Suiko is the name of an Empress. In the history of Japan, Suiko was the first of eight women to take on the role of empress regent.

[Nogitsune] are the opposite of Kitsune. Basically, they are evil foxes. Not like Kitsune is necessarily kind, but Kitsune is more mischievous. Nogitsune are killers and sadistic.

[Su Daji] and [Tamamo no Mae] are basically the same individuals. Basically, the two are women. Normal women initially were supposedly possessed by the spirit of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

In the story told by Hokusai, formed in the Edo period, the nine-tailed fox first appeared in China and possessed Daji, a concubine of the Shang dynasty's last ruler King Zhou. She enchanted the king and brought on a reign of terror that led to a rebellion that ended the Shang dynasty. The fox spirit fled to Magadha of Tianzhu (ancient India) and became Lady Kayō, concubine of the crown prince Banzoku based on Indian tales of Kalmashapada the man-eater), causing him to cut off the heads of a thousand men. It was then defeated again and fled the country. The same fox returned to China around 780 BC and was said to have possessed Bao Si, a concubine of the Zhou dynasty King You. It was again chased away by human military forces.

The fox stayed quiet for some period. Then she appeared in Japan as Tamamo-no-Mae, the most favored courtesan of Emperor Toba. She was said to be a most beautiful and intelligent woman, being able to answer any question asked. She caused the Emperor to be extremely ill and was eventually exposed as a fox spirit by the astrologer Abe no Yasuchika.

Basically, she goes around causing death and destruction.
