246 Fox Spirit

"Ueno, here I go!"

Plasma sizzled, the electricity buzzed as Ara glided on the electric wires as she crossed the city from pole to pole. The cold wind flew against her body, but she was warm enough and her face covered by a mask. If anything, her eyes which were unprotected felt a bit dry, and so she closed them from time to time after switching poles.

Her speed was the same as a bullet train's, and so the normally thirty-six minutes car drive could be done in seven to ten minutes depending on how fast she could switch poles. Tonight, she did it in eight minutes, which Ara thought was not bad.

She had been in Tokyo for a while, but tonight was the first time she'd ever be in this area, Ara realized as she perched on the electric pole, her eyes surveying the place below.
