Hope is still recovering from the events that happened in France. Her sister has just disappeared, her friend is heartbroken, and her relationship has hit a rough patch. Desperate to get away from it all, Hope takes up Alec's offer to spend the su...
Jeez! They do everything fast paced around here. Immediately after defeating the nogitsunes and the triad, we went straight to the airport to take a flight back to South Korea. We did the same route to the sense that it became monotonous. Arrive in Seoul, change cars three times, arrive in Busan, and then wait until nightfall to visit Solar. Pierce explained that he attacked the warehouse where his enemies were and found the nogitsunes that were helping them. He tossed Solar the wooden box and said that it was a souvenir. Their main mission right now was to find a way to kill the onis. I mentioned that when an oni attacked the school, Josie siphoned it out of Lizzie. Alec explained that these onis were different. These onis didn't possess people. They were 100% spirits, so we have to eradicate the spirit. Pierce and Solar realized that the only way we may get answers on the onis would be to go to Japan.
"Any idea in which temple we could possibly get answers?" Pierce hovered over a map of the Japanese temples. I'll just say that there are a lot of temples in Japan.
"No idea. I'd start with temples in Kyoto since you're enemies with the yukuza there." Solar answered.
"Alright. That leaves us 1600 temples. Care to narrow it down a bit more?" Alec inquired.
"This particular yukuza is old and conservative. There's no way they would deviate from their ancestors' way of thinking. I'd say to zone in on the oldest temples." Pierce answered.
"Kenninji is the oldest temple." Solar stated.
"Okay. Then we will-"
"Eomma? I salamdeul-eun nugu ni?" I'm assuming the girl who interrupted Pierce was his daughter, Vera.
(Mom? Who are these people?)

"Olaen chingu. Chimdaelo dol-aga." Solar answered her daughter. Vera scanned us, but she made intense eye contact with Pierce. Her finger shook as she pointed at Pierce.
(Old friends. Go back to bed.)
"Ani. Naega wae gat-eun moggeol-ileul ibgo issni! Geuneun nugu-ibnikka?!" Vera cried out. Pierce gritted his teeth at her reaction. Uh oh. This can't be good. Pierce and Solar exchanged looks. Solar eventually nodded which resulted in Pierce speaking.
(No. Why is he wearing the same necklace as me? Who is he?)
"Dangsin-eun igeos-eul wihae anj-a sip-eul sudo issseubnida. Dangsin-eun yeong-eoleulhasibnikka?" Vera nodded at whatever Pierce said. "Your mother is not normal." He paused for dramatic effect. I agreed with Solar glaring at him since who the hell starts that way. "I hope you believe in the supernatural because that would make things a whole lot easier. You see... your dear mama is a kitsune. Meaning she's a fox. That's why she's not that trustworthy because foxes-"
(You may want to sit for this. Do you speak English?)
