The next morning, Little Fox got up bright and early.
The moment he woke up, he urged his Young Master to hurry up, get dressed, and head out-he had things to buy!
White Noroi took over, eagerly made a few rounds of the neighborhood, bought what he wanted, then returned to the residence and got busy.

He swiftly tossed the chili peppers into the trash, destroying the evidence!

He reached out a finger and gave it a furtive poke.
