"Bloody hell, honestly, who eats human livers nowadays? This is modern era! With satellites in the sky and smartphones everywhere! We’ve got aetheric sciences now, so there’s absolutely no need to rely on such archaic, unreliable, and unethical rotes like that to cast spells!"

"Oh. Ok. So you must be an aetherology student, right?"

"No. I study ecology."

"Ecology? Well, that’s strange. I thought all kitsunes studied things related to magic and stuff in university."

"Not all of us study aetheric sciences! But yeah, since majority of us have natural aptitude for magic, most choose that as major. But there are always exceptions."

"Like you?"

"Isn’t that painfully obvious? I mean, what kind of kitsune carries things with their own hands? Or walk around without taking human form? You're making me feel miserable. Now stop pestering some stranger and go mind your own business!"

What a bizarre dream it was.
