"Daddy!"
Yukihime came running and hugged Haru tightly, her little face buried in his chest, her fox ears trembling.
"What happened, Daddy?!" she asked, looking up worriedly.
Haru gently patted her head. "Come on, I'll tell you later." He started walking towards the others who were waiting near the cart.
Arriving there, Haru immediately noticed that everyone was now wearing white clothes. Isabela in a simple white-cream dress, Kira in a tunic of the same color, the guards in white uniforms over their armor.
"Huh!" Haru stopped, confused. "Why is everyone wearing white clothes?"
The guard threw him a package of white clothes as well. "According to the holy men, for now it's mandatory in this village. Everyone has to wear them while they're here."
Haru took the clothes with a look that showed he wasn't happy about it.
"What happened there, Master?!" Kira began asking anxiously as soon as he approached.
