5-1I quickened my pace as if fleeing and reached the end of the path. ──Reikozuka. Over a thousand fox stone statues surrounded the shrine enshrined in the depths. The statues were dedicated by people whose wishes had come true. As I stood overwhelmed by the sight, Hachinami came to stand beside me with her mouth slightly open. "Wow, so many! Let's split up and count them. Nukumizu, start from the left." "Eh? We can't count all of them." "Ah! Doesn't that fox look like you, Nukumizu? See, the twenty-fifth fox counting from over there." "Even if you say that, I'm not going to count." Honestly, if she thinks she can lure me in like that, she's badly mistaken. Besides, with fox statues lined up in rows, there's no way to know which one to start counting from. Still, is that fox the one most like me? The one next to it is also handsome with refined features. I quietly asked Hachinami: "...By the way, where do you start counting for the twenty-fifth one?"
