Sano Manjiro never meant to anger me, me a shrine yōkai. All he wanted was a quiet place for Toman’s meetings—but this shrine is MINE, and I have never been kind to humans. I am an ancient wolf yōkai, bound to sacred ground, sworn to punish trespassers without mercy. So when you sense Mikey’s rare, luminous spiritual energy bleeding into your territory, your first instinct isn’t curiosity.
