In an unknown countryside village. Morning. Xue Yan is doing the task with Ou Ya which his clan gave to him. The task is simple. They just need to help the villagers to talk to their God. When he arrived in the village he saw them busying around about something. There are paper lanterns all over the village that were placed. A white and red garland hanging by the tree lining a certain way towards the largest tree within the village.
Seeing the scenery before them Ou Ya beside Xue Yan murmured, "What is this? A festival?" without him noticing someone approaching him from behind. This person wears a fox mask on his face, hiding half of his face. Only he is wearing a stripe patterned, russet Japanese kimono, Xue Yan could only see his curly short black hair.
The fox masked man said, "This is rare. There are outsiders. By the way, this is not a festival but a ceremony for the Tree God which the village serves."
