【Before Battles】
Ever since Inari had been taken in by Amaterasu, she had been observing Izanagi and Amaterasu while pretending to follow her onmyodo practice, trying to find a chance to revenge by tricking them.
This day, Inari saw melancholy Amaterasu sitting on the window ledge when she was wandering around. It was a rare scene to Inari, for Amaterasu had been optimistic to everything, and she always said,
Amaterasu: “Stay optimistic and problems will be solved”, remember that, Inari!

Amaterasu: You have no family. You won’t understand!
Inari: Right! I’m a stray fox with no family! I will never understand!
Inari had never spent time with her family, for all her family members had been killed by humans. The angry Inari then stormed out to the town…
