Kitsune In Another World's
Chapter 7 [Time Continues to Run ]
Hundreds of years have passed since that day. For once, Mio and the others never heard from Arc-Angel again. Once their wounds had fully recovered, Arc-Angel instantly returned to the Floating Continent, where they had returned. No one ever heard anything out of there again. Because from the beginning, the Soaring Continent was indeed not a place that people could enter carelessly.
Apart from that, so many changes were taking place in this mountain.
The small village at the foot of the mountain had grown to be so big that it formed a small kingdom protected Youkai. The King of the Kingdom is none other than the great magician himself. At first he refused, but over time, the heart could be melted.
⟨ Kingdom Amamiya ⟩
This small kingdom was built very much like Japan in the Shogun era. There are unique characteristics that make this kingdom different from others. That is, the people have deep black eyes and hair that is not commonly owned by humans in Demetria.
Many great samurai were created to protect this kingdom. However, the main force that made this Kingdom so revered and wary of other kingdoms was the fifth Yokai royal protector who had lived since the time of the first Queen.
The first youkai, Kaleena the Dryad
The second youkai, Tenguna Sang Tengu City
The third Youkai, Nekona Lilia the Nekomata
The fourth Youkai, Jorona Kazuha the Jorogumo
The fifth Youkai, Kitsuna Mio the Kitsune
The strength of the five Youkai royal protectors was so great, it far exceeded an ordinary beast skin. "Youkai" itself is the name given to them by the great witch.
Among those five Youkai, Kitsuna Mio was the one Youkai had the most strength and level. His own level had reached nearly 900 at the age of 346. Even so, Mio's nature is the most supple and childish. He is also the closest to the people. It is not uncommon to see him playing with children on the streets happily.
Although greatly cherished by the people and his disciples, the great magician could not resist the concept of time. He died at the age of 68, leaving behind three children who would continue his kingdom.
His five disciples did not choose to go out of the Kingdom, but instead chose to settle down and protect the kingdom that their master had left behind and remain loyal to his descendant, the Amamiya Royal Family.
But because none of them were interested in power, none received the title of nobility or territory even though the kingdom had grown. They continue to inhabit the mountain that became their territory since long ago. Even so they quite often go down the mountain to check the situation or just play and familiarize themselves with ordinary residents. That is why just like the master, they are also very loved and trusted by the people of Amamiya.
"This Mio. when I want to go outside the continent after so long. But he didn't even drive me?" pissed Kaleena in front of their house.
"Ma. ma. You don't know how Mio is," Kikik Kota while smoking his cigarette.
"He may be in the village again, playing with the children" said Lilia.
"Lilia-nee. How many years do you think it's been?" timpal Kazuha's.
"Oppsm! Habits."
Kaleena's a little sulky. Some time ago, the Levana Empire in the Human Continent invited representatives from various places to attend the inauguration of the formation of the Levana Empire (formerly still a Kingdom). And this time, the Amamiya Kingdom sent itself as a representative. But when he was about to leave, his last brother did not come to take him.
"Look at the boy...💢 Later when I come back, just found out."
Kaleena growled while holding back her anger.
The city was a little anxious thinking about what would happen later, "Ka-Kalee-nee...?. Instead of you having to leave immediately?"
Kaleena glanced at the somewhat suspicious City, "Yes. I'll be back in 1 month anyway."
"If anything happens, call me."
"OK!!!"
Without being ushered in by Mio, Kaleena immediately flew away with her magic and sped through the air. Not once did he look back, where Mio might be. Only a small complaint always came out of his mouth. His three younger siblings were silent to see his departure.
"Basar Mio was. whereas who almost cried because Kalee-nee left," Kikik Lilia amused.
"Mio will kill you if you tell Kalee-nee, you know," Saur Kota is just as giddy.
Kazuha just silently smiled, "...."
Seeing that Kaleena was no more, Lilia turned back casually back to the mountain.
"But the Human Continent is good.I also want to take a walk if there is a chance."
"You can go whenever you want, right?" sindir City.
"Yes, but if there's no business, it's like running away from responsibility. People like you are who might be like that." said Lilia back.
"What did you say, boy!? You have to be brave with your own brother!!"
The irritated city rubbed its fists against Lilia's head like a drill.
"S-It hurts!! Baka Anii!!! Release me!!!"
"Mistake it yourself still brat already dares to tease the older one!!"
"Buck, boy!! We only differ by how many years!!! If it used to be far away, but different 4-5 years at the age of hundreds it makes no difference the same as twins 5 minutes apart!!" denying Lilia.
"If Mio hears you, her behavior will be more pronounced."
"Well, hahahaha.." The laughter of the city was accompanied by the little clique of Kazuha.

Meanwhile, in the Capital of the Kingdom of Amamiya
"Hatchumiii!!!" sneeze Mio.
"Mio-senpai.. Are you cold?" ask a young girl.
Mio smiled, she looked at the extremely bright sky above her.
"No, there's gotta be someone talking about me."
Mio refocused on what she was working on. In her hand, there was a beautiful wooden Lyra. And in front of him, there were children with sparkling eyes waiting for him to allow the Lyra. Mio smiled warmly at them.
After a while, a soft and comfortable swing of the song in the ear came back audible. Not to forget Mio also opened her mouth to give the lyrics to the tone. Her beautiful voice instantly made the heart serene and peaceful to hear it. Not far from Mio sitting down, the black-haired girl carrying her own Lyra looked at Mio so closely.
As time went on, the song showed its end. A soft low tone became the cover of that little concert.
PROK PROK PROK PROK PROK PROK
Both the children watching, the young girl next to him, until the adults who heard it as they passed by instantly clapped their hands together when the song was over. Mio was initially unaccustomed and embarrassed when this situation occurred, but now she was used to it and enjoyed it.
"Young-sama!!! Cool!!!!"
"Young!!!!! The song is so beautiful!!!"
"Thank you Mio-sama!!!!"
"As usual, Mio-sama's song is the best!!!!!"
"Thank you…"
The screams of these little children made Mio's ears slightly reddened. Rather than the empty praise from the nobles who were busy licking it, the honest praise from the children was indeed the best.
"Sasuga Mio-senpai!!! Your song is always touching!!!" the young girl next to him.
"Ah.. yes.. thanks.." reply Mio was a bit uncomfortable with the girl's overreaction.
The warm atmosphere under this twilight sky was what Mio liked the most. The reason for never going out of the Continent was because he wanted to protect this atmosphere until his death.
"I thought you were here, Mio! Come back!!"
But this shrill voice he heard was ruining the atmosphere.
"Y!! Lilia-sama!!!"
"Lilia-sama!! Good afternoon!!!!"
"Lilia-sama!!!!!"
The greeting of the children who welcomed Lilia's arrival made this Nekomata woman smile and wave back at them. Unfortunately, different from those children, someone actually bent his face.
With an extremely displeased expression, Mio turned to the woman.
"Lilia-nee... Has Kalee-nee gone?"
"From earlier. He was angry because you didn't join him" Lilia replied casually.
"Why not come? Though the one that was sulking yesterday because I don't want Kalee-nee to go it's you alone, right?"
Mio glanced in another direction with trembling eyes, "When did I do that…?"
Lilia did not care, she was already immune to her sister's "Tsundere" side.
"Here, forget it. Let's go!"
".... Okay.." - Okay…"
