Full Story
One day in June, a 12-year-old girl named Aisa is reading a few books inside a library. As the sun was going down, library workers exit as Aisa hides from sight, and continues her reading and understanding of English and art colors. Aisa, after studying for 4 hours, exits the library and goes to the Fushimi Inari Shrine, to make a wish with an Ema and write it down (Even though the audience does not see the written wish). Aisa, while exploring the shrine, notices some of the torii gates’ paint peeling off from age. Knowing the gates are of a vermilion color, (with is a mix of red and orange) Aisa unpacks her ink markers from her backpack, and paints on the gate’s peeled areas. Once Aisa completes painting the gate, however, a worker yells at Aisa on what She’s doing, but is attacked by a brownish orange fox, Aisa runs away, but toward the Torii gate, as the fox cub follows, warping them to a remote forested area, but Aisa passes out.

After waking up, Aisa, notices the brownish-orange fox (whose name is Akaku) is in fact, a Kitsune, a fox-like yokai that use mythical powers, be it for good or bad intentions. Aisa, unaware of what’s going on, goes to run but stops when She realizes She’s turned into a kitsune.
