Another four years had passed, and I was now eleven.

...

　It's the middle of the night in the quiet of my room.
　Under the light of the shikigami, I carefully cut out a piece of paper with a pair of scissors and put in some words with a quill pen.

　Come to think of it, I remember doing something similar in a previous life around this time.
　It brings back memories. I think it's about this time of year that I did my homework. When I think about it, the me in this life has grown up a lot.

I'm done.

　I look at the completed Hitogata and let out a nervous breath.

　This is a door.

　In my past life, I have surrendered and sealed a number of demons and used them to fight.
　Most of the spells I used to seal them were burned up in my past life, so naturally they're not here. It's not here........in fact, it's theoretically possible to bring the sealed demons to us.

　Sealing means sending them to a phase, that is, to phase.
　A spell is just a door.

　The phase is also a different world. So if you can prepare a door, you can connect to it, no matter what world it's from.......it should be possible. In theory.
　I'm going to try it from now on to see if it's really possible.

　Hitogata is placed on the floor.
　We make a sign and chant the mantra.

　I honestly don't know what will happen.
　So the first one I call is the most docile one.

　Eventually, the jutsu is assembled.

♪ The Pipe Fox.

　A human gadget emits a light and the scene around it distorts.
　And what appeared in the dimly lit room was - a white girl.

　Her hair as white as virgin snow. The strangely short kimono and the limbs that extend from it are also white. A girl with a kind of mysterious appearance.
　Her eyelids slowly open, revealing contrasting, jet-black eyes.

　Hmm?　Success...?　But it's a little different.

'Haruyoshi-sama!

　A girl suddenly hugged me.
　She pushes me down with all her momentum and does her best to rub her cheek on my face.

Haruyoshi-sama Haruyoshi-sama!　Oh, it's such a blessing to see your face again, Yuki.　Soo-ha!　How many times have you dreamed of this moment in the sleep of phase?　Suuuuuuughhhh!　Ahhhh, the smell of Haruyoshi.
Stop, you idiot!　Get off!

　I push the girl back, and I quickly back away.
　And then I look at her fearfully.

'Yuki... isn't it?'
'Yes, Mr. Haruyoshi!　I'm Yuki.

　Watch that girl with the smiling face closely.

　Yuki the pipe fox.
　This is the demon I used to give human form to in my previous life, but....

Hasn't she gotten smaller?　And that dress.....

　In a previous life, she was a strange-looking woman, and I'm sure she wasn't dressed like this... oh, I'm sure she wasn't dressed like this... oh, she wasn't dressed like this... with her legs out...

''Oh, it's true. Why is that?　I think it's either pulled by Haruyoshi-sama's current spell power or the world itself, though.

　Well it could be both.
　It's Yuki itself on the inside, and I'd say it's a success.

'Huh ... it's good to call you anyway. It's been a while, Yuki.
Haruyoshi-sama.........
All right, stop hugging me!
Okay, but that's fine.

　Yuki says in a tearful voice.

'At that time........oh, when I found out that girl was the enemy......it seemed that Haruyoshi-sama was already prepared to die.......'
Hmm, yeah...
But when you said you would be called upon in the next life, it was worth waiting for you to believe it.
'Oh, okay, okay...'

　I patted her head, and she sniffed and wiped her tears away.

"But how did you know it was me in this form?
''That's...I can see that. You've aged a bit, but you still have a bit of your spellcasting power and your face.
Oh, yeah?
Yes, sir.

　Yes, I'm the only one in the family with dark hair and black eyes.
　Maybe it's just my father's mistress's blood but I suppose that's because I've been chosen to incarnate all over the world.

"Haruyoshi-sama.
Hmm?
'Now that you've called me, Yuki will do whatever you want!　It seems that this isn't even a world, let alone Japan, and as expected of Haruyoshi, he must be very busy. Now, what do you want to do for Yuki?
''No ... not really. I just wanted to see if I could call a demon over here too...
Yeah!

　Yuki disappointedly shrugs her shoulders.
　I'm sorry, but Yuki is completely useless as a tube fox.

　It reminds me of my past life.
　The pipe fox is a sorcerer that is used by the Iizuna masters to enchantment.
　I can't remember when, but a friend of mine had a very rare white mutant with black eyes.　I'm sure he has great powers!　I was told with 100% good intentions that it was Yuki who had given it to me.
　At first, I had high hopes for Yuki. But in fact, Yuki's possession and divine power, which is the true nature of a pipe fox, was not good at all. No matter how many times I made him try, he failed in the end.
　But I couldn't bear to throw it away, so I had to give it a human form to serve tea.

　In a previous life, I didn't have a child until the end of my life, but thanks to Yuki, I understand the meaning of the phrase "the worse the child, the cuter the better".
　But there's no work to be done with that.

Or rather, I can't let anyone see me like that.
But I don't want to be in phase anymore...
You can hide all you want then.
Yes?

　With that, Yuki reverted to her fox form and became thin in a flash.
　And then she slipped into my hair.

It's the most comfortable place to be.

　One of Yuki's few talents is that she can be extremely thin. When I first got her, Yuki would often crawl into my head.
　That's one of the skills of a pipe fox, but...oh well.

Yes, Yuki. My name is Seika now, so call me that from now on.
'Seika-sama, is it...?　Hmm, that's a perfect name for Haruyoshi-sama!

　It's fitting, well I don't know if I've read that a few times in my past life.

　Well, I guess I'll go to bed.
　I'll put away my tools and crawl into bed.

　The demons can come from this world.

　The most important part of the plan is accomplished.

　Now all that's left to do is to see if everything goes as planned.
