...Zzzz...
*Loud noises, banging*
Mmnn...
Noisy...
It's time to get up, Lady Yukari!
It's another wonderful morning, today.
Gimme 5 more months...
Uh, you're supposed to say "minutes", there.
The second sleep... s'where the best rest is... Zzzz....
Gaaah! How many times do we have to do this!
Every day with this routine! Please, put yourself in my shoes, for once...
Mmm... I'd leave me alone...
And then you'd be leaving Lady Yukari to hibernate into winter.
Now come on, your breakfast is getting cold.
...Fine, I'll just grab here, and here...
There!
Hyaaah!
Sound of flying away.
---
Now, help yourself.
...Thanks...
Jeeze, you don't need to be so pouty about it.
You're going to ruin your meal, at that rate.
I think anyone'd be gloomy after getting thrown off their bed onto the floor.
Flying off a futon's a first, for me.
Well, I figured throwing you off would be a good way to free you from your futon's clutches.
Seeing you rocket out like that was a real shocker, though.
I'M the one who was shocked.
Bangs table.
Who's ever heard of a shikigami kicking her master out bed, anyway...
Our relationship was built on never holding back, after all.
You could do with a LITTLE restraint, you know!
Bangs table.
I'd rather not be working up a sweat this early...
Ah, but what a landing after all that spinning. Such agility!
How splendid, my liege. You've renewed my loyalty all over again.
Not a shred of remorse, have you...
Even though, lately your methods of yanking me out of bed have gotten awfully crude.
In fact, what's the deal with that, anyway?
I can't feel even the slightest bit of affection from you.
What are you talking about?
If not for my deep love, how could this miso soup taste so delicious?
Oho, quite the boast.
Let me try a bit...
...Mm, have you gotten even better at this?
All thanks to my harsh critic of a master, of course.
Taking a look around, the table and shelves are clean and tidy, and there's nary a shred of garbage in sight.
Both the cleaning and the cooking have been done perfectly.
You know, I've been thinking this for a while, but are you sure weren't a housewife before this?
Quite a thing to say to the fox you abducted.
Truthfully, I would never have thought I'd become so versed in housekeeping before coming here.
It's odd, but doing chores like this is actually quite enjoyable.
What, so scrubbing clothes down on a washingboard is fun to you?
Yes! Very much so!
Sometimes, I'm afraid I might forget that I'm actually a nine-tailed fox.
Well, that's not likely to happen any time soon.
If it looks like that will ever happen, I'll just adjust your shikigami settings.

What?
I thought I'd just go for a rare find that could do anything.
As first time's go, I've been thoroughly satisfied by how well you work.
If I can just improve your violent behavior in the morning, you'll be perfect.
L-Lady Yukari... You're joking... right?
You're acting like you only made me your shiki so I could do your chores...
Teehee...
Wha... Are you serious?
(Hah, she's gotten all depressed.)
(This is your just deserts for throwing me out of bed.)
I'm just kidding, obviously.
In the first place, you're deligent, and you like keeping things clean. You've always had the right mindset for housework.
Hehe, our relationship was built on never holding back, right? You need to be able to see through a joke or two like that.
So you'd be better off with a maid...

...Uh.
H-hey, Ran? Raaan?
Yes, I see now.
For a great youkai such as yourself, I suppose a shiki like me would be... little more than a flight of fancy.
(O-oh dear...)
(I'm not sure how, but... I think I just hit a seriously sore point for her!)
Um, Ran, please calm down.
Let's all just calm down, and take a nice, deep breath.
Listen to me, that was just a joke, okay?
But, whether I was tossed aside, or even betrayed...
As long as I can stay by this woman's side, I vowed that I would bear it all...
I thought I was resolved, and yet...
Oh jeeze, I'm so weak. I shouldn't be crying...
Woah, hey, Ran, seriously. Can we all just calm down, here?
Please, just listen to me!
Here, I'll even let you eat my share, okay?
Thinking back... I've had so many opportunities to come to my senses!
She's sloppy, she lets the clothes and the dishes pile up...
Without someone to wake her up, she'd practically sleep herself to death...
From the moment we started living together, I gradually realized it...
That she doesn't act like a great youkai at all!
Wha- I'm getting roasted!?
Dramatic piano chord.
Look, Ran. Please, I'm sorry!
Just listen to me, even a little bit! I'm about to cry, here!
Do I even have a reason to exist...?
I need some time to think about this...
Ah, Ran, wait!
She leaves.
..She's gone.
Oh no, oh jeeze...
I've never seen her that dejected before.
Ngh, I'm feeling really guilty all of a sudden...
One way or another, I need to resolve this misunderstanding.
