Her next stop would be the Kamisato Clan of the Yashiro Commission, so naturally, she needed to find out more about the Yashiro Commission.
"Sayu? Sayu's a tiny little thing with ears and a tail."
"More precisely, she's a child, but she has tanuki ears and a tail. Of course, they aren't actually growing from her body—they're just decorations on her clothes."
"Still, although Sayu is small and loves slacking off, she's incredibly capable."
Sayu was tiny, so she cared deeply about her height. She had stopped growing a long time ago—so long that she felt as though she had fallen into a dream where time had stopped.
She firmly believed that sleep replenished energy, and with enough energy, she would grow taller. To fulfill that obsession, she tried every possible way to slack off and honed her ninjutsu to perfection.

Yae Sakura was extremely curious. Since Sayu was a ninja under the Yashiro Commission, why was she being supervised by a shrine maiden from the Grand Narukami Shrine?

"Oh, right, I haven't introduced myself yet! My name is Kano Nana."
Only after answering Yae Sakura's question did the girl remember to introduce herself.
"Kano Nana..."
It was quite a cute name, and she herself
