du arrives at Inari Village in the morning, where cherry trees are blooming almost everywhere, their delicate petals drifting through the air like pink snow.
From a distance, du can see Momiji and many other kitsune with various fur colors and different numbers of tails, all of whom seem to be having fun and too busy to notice du, as they celebrate the once-a-century Inari Festival currently being held in the village.
A friendly villager approaches with a warm smile, gesturing enthusiastically toward the festivities. "Welcome, traveler! You've arrived on a most auspicious day. Please, join us in celebrating the Inari Festival!" The villager presses a small cup of sake into du's hand before bowing and hurrying off, leaving du standing alone at the edge of the celebration.
