這個世界上有一種不幸,叫「原罪」。
不知何故,我天生就無法為狐狸命名。即使我給予初生狐狸
當族群知道我這個「缺陷」之後,他們開始覺得我是隻不祥

「你好喔,請問你叫什麼名字?」
一個滂沱大雨的黃昏,當我如常在森林中採摘食物時,發現
可是我沒有回應,並默默的繼續前行。
「你可以給我一個名字嗎?」
然而,他的請求卻讓我驚訝得停住腳步。不曉得是否求生意
「求求你,我感覺自己快要消失了......」
初生狐狸繼續向我請求。雖然我自知沒能力幫到他,可是那

JOBI the Moon Fox
-The Neverending Story-
Chapter 6
There’s a misfortune called ‘the original sin’ in this world.
For some reason, I was born unable to name foxes. Even when I try to name the newborns, their coat still won’t transform into their own colours.
When the clan knew about my ‘flaw’, they started to think of me as an ominous fox and blamed me for a lot of accidents and natural disasters.
Without a choice, I stayed away from everyone and moved to the edge of the village to live my life in solitude.
Then I met him. And my life is changed forever.
“Hello! What’s your name?”
When I was looking for food in the forest as usual at an evening with heavy rain, an unnamed newborn fox said hello to me. That’s the first time a fox had spoken to me since I moved to the edge of the village.
I didn’t respond and quietly continued on my own path.
“Can you give me a name?”
Yet, his request made me paused in surprise. I don’t know whether it’s the will to survive but this newborn unexpectedly requested for a name himself.
“Please? I can feel myself disappearing...”
The newborn continued begging.
I quickly picked him up and ran to the village I have distanced myself from a long time ago. However, as soon as they saw me, the villagers ran away. Some of them even threw stones at me, ignoring the fact that I’m holding onto an innocent newborn.
“Please, anyone. Please name the child!” In order to let the newborn have a completed life, I endured the pain from being hit by stones and continued begging for help. Until I heard a villager shouted.
“An ominous fox will only bring more misfortunes! Don’t name the fox!”
At this moment, all my rationality left me and I broke down. My vision suddenly went black, and I wasn’t fully conscious of what’s happening. Then, strange things happened one after another.
A glowing giant a black orb emerged from my hands and the villagers who attacked me dropped to the ground in a chilly wind. Then their bodies turned translucent!
After regaining full consciousness, I was absolutely stunned and terrified by the scene in front of me. All I can do is to flee with the newborn. While I was running away with all my strength that’s left, I vaguely heard myself being declared exiled, forever forbidden to return to the clan.
After I realised my ‘flaw’ had ‘evolved’. I developed a magic that can take other’s life forces and was able to transfer it to the newborn, so that he can continue living without being named.
In particular, I remembered that it was raining heavily on the day we met, so I called him “RAIN”. That is the first time I gave a fox its name.
There’s a misfortune called ‘the original sin’ in this world.
Ignorant and cold-hearted foxes, you are the original sin. Let me take your life forces and cleanse it through RAIN’s body. This will be your salvation.
