"You really drove away the Great Bake-danuki! That's amazing! But it's wrong to use weapons here. Didn't Big Sister Yoimiya tell you that?"
"These weapons should only be used in open areas where there's nothing around."
Hearing Iwao, Ayaka, and the others excitedly recount what had happened, Yoimiya smiled beautifully. Still bent over, she gently reminded the children in front of her.
Though the fireworks she had given the children had been specially modified and were not very powerful, they did contain gunpowder. There was plenty of grass and many trees here, so it would be very easy to start a forest fire.
That would be troublesome...
As for the Great Bake-danuki Ayaka and the others had mentioned, clever Yoimiya immediately understood that they had probably mistaken some animal for one. After all, according to them, a Great Bake-danuki could transform into anything.
She could only hope that the animal mistaken for a Great Bake-danuki was all right. Otherwise, she could only tearfully eat several bowls of it.
"But... but the Great Bake-danuki was too crafty. It ran really fast, and we were afraid it would get away again and recover its yokai powers. That would have been troublesome."
"Yeah! It even stole Tian Jin's grilled fish. We were in such a hurry to defeat the Great Bake-danuki that we forgot to pay attention to the surroundings like Big Sister Yoimiya told us."

Still, thankfully,
