What was with this child...?
She could talk the moment she was born, and she even called her big sis. How strange.
"Big sis."
Hiyumaru swayed her four tails, looking utterly adorable.
"The weather's so nice. Let's go out for a stroll together." Hiyumaru said excitedly. She looked down at the astonished Ch'en. "Hehe, do you have any fried tofu? Hiyumaru loves fried tofu the most! If you don't have any, there should at least be a shop that sells it, right? Hiyumaru just wants to eat fried tofu..."
"What? You want to ask why Hiyumaru wants to eat fried tofu? Naturally, it's because..."
"Cut the nonsense. I want it because I want it."
Her voice was really nice.
Ch'en thought.
She just talked a little too much and was a little too noisy, but she could put up with it.
"Fried tofu, right?"
After confirming it once more, Ch'en nodded.
"I'll go buy some right now!"
Without a doubt, Hiyumaru was the sort of person who got on one's nerves. But whenever Ch'en faced Yae Sakura, her fangirl instincts kicked in, so her irritation would arrive a little later. No one knew when Ch'en would clearly express her annoyance with Hiyumaru.
But it would definitely come very late.
For example, right now, Hiyumaru was wolfing down fried tofu, along with the fish tofu that had been bought with it, nodding as she ate.
Even eating couldn't keep her mouth shut.
As she stuffed fish tofu into her mouth, she still kept chattering at Ch'en. Ch'en listened and nodded along, paying no attention whatsoever to what Hiyumaru was saying.
"You... know how to use a sword?"
"What did you say, meow?"
"Since you're Yae Sakura's karmic burden, strictly speaking, your swordsmanship must be pretty strong too, right?"
Uh...
