The retainer went to retrieve the arrow, and the fox appeared in front of him, but vanished again before he could shoot at it once more.

On his way home, he saw the fox carrying a flaming brand in its mouth. It reached his house and turned into a human, setting his house on fire. The retainer was about to shoot at her, but the human changed back into a fox and got away, while his house burned down.
