The boy bit his lip, his hands trembling slightly as doubt crept into his expression.
I exhaled slowly, my patience thinning, and tightened my grip on my whip.
It moved as if it had a will of its own, the whip lashed forward, slicing through the mist with deadly precision as it aimed straight for the older brother’s neck. But before it could reach him, the younger brother stepped in front of him without hesitation.
“Stop!” he shouted.
The whip halted. It stopped mere inches from his face, the air around it still humming from the force behind it.
That was the nature of my weapon. It always struck those I intended to kill, and it would never harm those I had no killing intent toward.
I let out a quiet sigh, lowering my hand slightly as I looked at him.
“What d
you think you are doing?” I asked, raising an eyebrow
The man swallowed hard, his throat tightening as fear crept into his voice, and he forced the words out despite how clearly terrified he was. “P-please don’t kill my brother,” he said, his tone unsteady. “This is all a misunderstanding. I know my brother, and he is definitely my brother. Have mercy, Your Highness.”
I looked at him without the slightest trace of sympathy, my gaze steady and cold as I answered him without hesitation. “Have mercy?” I repeated, my voice flat. “Why would I have merey on something that eats and drinks people?”
I shifted my grip on my whip and took a slow step forward, watching him carefully as his body tensed in response to my

If this is not my brother, then may I fail in everything I do, and may I die a painful dea-”
The final word never left his mouth, because a hand suddenly pierced straight through his chest from behind,
His body froze instantly, his eyes widening in pure shock and disbelief, as if his mind could not comprehend what had just happened even in his final moment.
I shifted my gaze past him and saw the so-called brother standing there with a smile on his face, his arm still buried inside the younger man’s chest before he slowly pulled it back, letting blood spill as the body in front of him sagged forward.
The
younger brother did not even have time to react or understand what was happening, because in the very next moment, the older brother’s stomach split open unnaturally, revealing a dark hollow space, and the boy’s body was dragged backward and pulled inside as if swallowed whole before the opening close again without leaving any trace.
Normally, an Akakitsune would take its time enjoying its meal, at because I was standing here, it chose to finish quickly instead.
The creature placed a hand over its stomach, its expression satised as it exhaled lightly and said, “Hmmm… that was
