Seirei Gensouki: Spirit Chronicles (Manga) Volume 3

Rio's taken off for his homeland and enters parts unknown... or at least they SHOULD be. But somehow, aspects of his former life begin cropping up everywhere he looks, from udon restaurants to vanquished enemies hellbent on vengeance. Is it possible that Rio's not the only one with a spirit connection in this world? And why's there a fox girl trying to kill him?
