Author's Note

Everyone has secrets!
A mysterious story that the whole family can read together with deep empathy.

We all live with a secret or two.
Sometimes they are anxious about their secrets being discovered, sometimes they want to confide in someone, and sometimes they complain that they wish there were no secrets.
The same goes for Yui, the protagonist of the "Suspicious Neighbor Shinoda" series.
However, the secret is that the mother is a 'fox' and Yui, an elementary school student, inherited that power, which is a bit different.
And the fact that the fox relatives keep coming and the danger of the secret being exposed continues!

Yui runs around frantically between incidents that explode without a break.
Sometimes she gets angry, sometimes she tries to calm someone down, sometimes she gets lost in thought, and she uses her fox power to solve problems and keep her family's secrets.
Despite all these colorful appearances, one thing remains constant: the unwavering pursuit of running! This echoes my mother's words: "If you don't want to be overshadowed by the shadows, open your heart toward the sun."
Avoiding difficulties does not solve them.
Yui and her family naturally convey messages that are difficult to face even though they are known to us.
It's okay if dark shadows gather.
Overcoming disasters is one of the joys of life.

A suspicious fox visits a suspicious family! A new story in the "Suspicious Neighbor Shinoda" series.
Avoid the scary ghosts and find the fox's treasure!

Yui and Takumi are stranded in an unfamiliar city while trying to protect their youngest sister, Moe! There, they meet an old man from the city fox tribe who asks them to find the fox's treasure.
After much deliberation, the Yui siblings decide to join the suspicious mission and go to the mysterious cedar tree to find out where the treasure is hidden.

But the cedar tree takes Moe away, leaving behind only an incomprehensible message.
Yui, Takumi, and their uncle travel between the temple and the library to meet Moe again, and try to solve the mystery left behind by the cedar tree.
Moreover, in the unfamiliar city, vengeful spirits and demons pursue them, demanding their bodies! As the children desperately run to avoid being taken, the sad and surprising secret of the city fox is revealed...
Will Yui and her friends be able to find Moe and the fox's treasure and return home safely?
A thrilling fox treasure chase begins, filled with mystery, adventure, and a heartwarming family story!

A gloomy shadow falls over every alley, and a chill follows the children's every step.

As you follow the thrill of finding answers even in breathless, precarious moments, you will soon find yourself experiencing the tension and excitement of being part of an adventure.
The moment you encounter the creepy scene of evil spirits chasing you and the heartbreaking love story left behind by a city fox, you will feel your heart tighten and then turn warm.
Let's go all the way with those who run out to meet Moe again and find the treasure.
