In the peaceful hills of rural Japan, a neglected temple survives—barely. Beni, a young fox spirit who hasn't seen a human soul in decades, resides inside it. Beni has long accepted her fate of loneliness—until a tired city woman named Shiori comes into her collapsing kingdom during a storm. Beni is proud, shy, and a little mischievous.

Taking a break from her fast-paced life after a burnout and a breakup, Shiori isn’t expecting to find a living legend—let alone one with twintails and an attitude. But something about the stubborn little spirit keeps drawing her back. One warm dinner and uncomfortable chat at a time, the improbable friendship between a lady and a fox starts to mend old scars as the seasons change and memories resurface.

This is a slice-of-life web novel that is full of overgrown paths, silent magic, and the kind of friendship that blossoms unseen.
