It was rare that he traveled to the outside realm, but today was a special occasion. He had wanted to visit a local festival and obtain some of the rare sake that was only brewed there. He was what one could call a connoisseur when it came to alcohol, so there was no way he was going to risk missing this.
That said, the festival was one that only youkai who lived in the outside realm were allowed to attend. Or rather, it was a place that only youkai could find. Still, he may as well enjoy the sights while he could. There were still a few hours until nightfall after all.
“It’s a beautiful afternoon, don’t you agree?” He asked a girl who was passing underneath the tree branch he was sitting on. “The wind blows from the north, bringing with it a tranquility that soothes the soul.”
He gazed down at her with golden eyes, a soft smile dancing upon his lips. If she decided to keep walking and ignore him, he wouldn’t mind. People only saw youkai when they wanted to. It’s why most adults were unable to see him. Only those with the imagination to believe in the unknown could ever hope to perceive him.
