"Where did the fox go?"
The three children had been asking him all day, "Why hasn't the fox come back?" "Where did the fox go?"
Su Shu passed him a towel, "Is it out playing in the wild?"
Taking the towel and wiping his face, "Playing in the wild is fine. The important thing is that it stays out of trouble."
"The fox is smart, and it has high mana; it knows these mountains better than anyone. It's unlikely that it would get into trouble. Perhaps something interesting caught its attention and made it linger."
"I hope that's the case."
"Don't worry."

Deep in the mountains, inside a dark cave,
the fox was comfortably napping.
Snow had sealed half of the cave entrance, but it casually lit a fire to warm up, making it very cozy inside.
The most comfortable part was that the cave happened to have a lot of honey stored inside.
Though it was hidden quite deeply, what kind of nose did it have?
