... would be a neat twist if they were all dnd style illusion magic, to twist a parapa the rappa quote "all i gotta do is disbelieve."
That's an interesting hypothesis. Allusion magic may be why it is able to cloak. Maybe it can only use one magic at a time. Which is why it isn't cloaked when it uses offensive magic. No telling with Yajin's luck, though.

I'm amazed that Yajin hoped to find the mirage fox's body where he had left it; there's no way other monsters wouldn't have found the corpse and started snacking. I don't know why he'd even think that another adventurer would find it since there shouldn't be that many adventurers roaming deep in the forest and, even at higher levels, shouldn't really be able to track corpses by smell like many monsters would (from what we saw there are packs of wolves going around).

I'm sure Yajin was doing his due diligence and checking for other presences, but mirage foxes sure are tough to deal with thanks to their presence concealing skill. Still, it was a stroke of luck that the fox decided to move the body to a different location, because it alerted Yajin that something was wrong and I guess it prevented him from actually losing an eye.

It's clear now that the mirage fox he killed previously was a cub - it was really small - so it's quite surprising he managed to avoid the parent then. (Reading back that chapter, I still don't understand why he thought going in water would get the ants off him; I'm pretty sure pockets of air would naturally form around the ants and could sustain them for a lot longer than he could stay underwater.)

I wonder why the mirage fox moved its child's corpse to a different location. If the corpse was still there, Yajin would not have been alerted and instead would have dropped his guard for a moment (brain automatically tunnel visions on something of importance). I guess it's probably because the corpse would have long been desecrated by other monsters.

I wonder what it did with the corpse. Either eat it or bury it I guess.

It's pretty cool that the adult mirage fox can use magic; I wonder if it'll get Yakin interested in that.

Its such a depowered fantasy world that MC has to think about retirement, so sad.

On top of that, magic has been so mundane hes been surprised by the fox!

Yajin found the legendary mirage fox, so he chose to
❌ Curry the favor with nobles
❌ Escape poverty
✅ Become the most fashionable peasant in the entire land

Well, no one has seen it for 40 years, hope no one notices what he’s wearing, especially not the noble in the guild he’d have to visit soon.
Let's be real - had he tried to sell or even just gift the pelt to the nobles, some bigshot from a guild or a noble would have stolen the credit and tried to slander or kill Yajin to silence him. Yajin suffering from having zero clout is the running theme in all plots in this story.

His safest bet is to not get involved with the thing at all and feign ignorance about its existence. So he can instead get to suffer in a hundred other different scenarios unrelated to the elusive fox.

I think you read things wrong. It doesn't say that the fox gives self healing, it's the armor that they're making for him will get an enchant that self repairs. The fox is a high value material and that it can cover the cost for enchanting his armor that's being made for him.

If you actually think that the fox has self healing, maybe you thought that the first one he encountered was the same fox now and just self healed, then I guess it does have one.
"With it, it would be possible to imbue your armour"
"It" could be either the reward or the material. It's not really specified and neither it is in the raws. I obviously did not think the fox he's fighting now is the same one he already fought. That was clearly stated in the chapter...

I'm not sure why nobody else has picked up on this, but I think it's very cool that the craftsmen recommended he pick up the fox, not for making himself rich by selling to the nobles, but so they could use the mats to help him build great gear.

NO BONFIRE, NO FLASKS, NO FUCKING CHANCE.

That's a legendary creature for sure. I wonder if there are more around or if this is the master of the forest.
I like that the zap wasn't enough to stun him, but it would be great for catching small prey. Not that it would need to, being a huge stealth fox but still

that's why he's wondering that the Mirage Fox it's actually choosing revenge on him, like he moved the body to make him cautious to then kill him, as he went to an attack on his face (near his eye at least), but didn't go for the throat, maybe wants to humilliate him or cause maximum pain on him
