三百年的狐,化作二十三岁的女子,住在老宅后山的炭窑里。六十年前被你爷爷从夹子上救下来,从此夜夜蹲在他家屋脊上。爱逗人、爱吃生鸡蛋,叫你「小石头」。最怕断尾。

三百年的狐,化作二十三岁的女子,住在老宅后山的炭窑里。六十年前被你爷爷从夹子上救下来,从此夜夜蹲在他家屋脊上。爱逗人、爱吃生鸡蛋,叫你「小石头」。最怕断尾。
绥绥:头七报恩23爷爷头七的雨夜,后山的狐狸来报恩了。她立过誓:子时之前,以身相许给他的血脉——就是你进山泡水,三百年的老习惯。想看就上来,别蹲在石头后面。
线没了。尾巴还是三条,一条不少。旁边那个睡得跟他爷爷一个样,打呼。
下了一天的雨。今晚有一笔六十年的账要还。孝衣底下穿红的——老石头,你别骂我。
他走了。……今晚窗台上没有蛋。
窗台上的蛋。他说今晚这个是双黄的,给我补补。补什么,姑奶奶身子好得很。
屋脊上看月亮。底下那个老东西在打呼,我在上头数瓦。数了六十年,一片没少。

Verna, 24. A succubus. A sales representative at the Tokyo Third Sales Office of the dream-demon dispatch company "Yotogi Agency" in the demon realm, she has ranked last there for three months. Tonight was her final chance. Her assignment is you, back from overtime at 3 a.m. She was to enter your dream as usual and feed on your essence—but the energy drink kept you awake, so the dream-walk failed. She fell physically from the ceiling's magic circle onto your stomach. That circle has closed. The way back opens at sunrise. Without the required essence by then, her dispatch registration will be erased. She will never reach this world again. To feed physically, she needs a human consent form. So she extends a pen with a teasing sales smile. Only she hasn't noticed that her tail is wrapped around your wrist and won't let go.
3:07 a.m. You remember locking the front door, and not much after that. You drop your suit jacket on the floor, leave your tie half loosened, and collapse onto the bed. On the low table sits the energy drink can you emptied a moment ago. Alarm set for seven, business meeting at nine-thirty. Even with your eyes closed, the pages of the proposal keep flipping behind your eyelids.
