[日巫子]

>"I... Could help if you want."

>Point to the ribbon.

> Rumia shakes her head.  "No, it's fine.  It looks cute this way, anyway."

[Sect]

> Shrug. "Eh, suit youself."
> Enjoy being boiled like a potato.

[日巫子]

> Shrug. "Eh, suit youself."
> Enjoy being boiled like a potato.

> The both of you sit back and enjoy the hot water.  After a while, when you're starting to feel a little pruney, you hear a knock on the door and Keine's voice.
> "I've just left some clothes out here for when you're done."

> _

[Sect]

> "Kaaaay."
> Climb out and dry off. Can we find a brush or a comb?

[日巫子]

> "Kaaaay."
> Climb out and dry off. Can we find a brush or a comb?

> You climb out of the tub and grab a towel to dry off.  There's a comb sitting on the shelf with the soaps that you can use.

> _

[[Y]oukai [J]esus]

>Comb our nice hair~

[日巫子]

>Comb our nice hair~

> You comb your hair out until there are no tangles in it.  As you're doing this, Rumia gets out of the bath and wraps herself in a towel.

> _

[Sect]

> Hand the comb over. "Here you go!"
> Find those clothes and put them on.

[日巫子]

> Hand the comb over. "Here you go!"
> Find those clothes and put them on.

> "Thanks~"  Rumia takes the comb and starts running it through her hair.
> You open the door just enough to grab the clothes Keine left for the two of you.  They're both long-sleeved blouses, but they're so big--or perhaps you're so small--that it's like a nightgown to you.

> _

[[Y]oukai [J]esus]

>Put them on.

>Spin around and wave your arms, enjoy your new clothes.

[日巫子]

>Put them on.

>Spin around and wave your arms, enjoy your new clothes.

> You get dressed, and then spin around while waving your arms experimentally.  It feels so nice~
> Seeing you enjoying the clothes provided for you, Rumia takes the clothes that are left and puts them on, holding out her arms and admiring the sleeves.

[Sect]

> "Okay, Kouyoshi's turn!"
> Run downstairs! "Kouyoshi! The bath's ready!"

[日巫子]

> "Okay, Kouyoshi's turn!"
> Run downstairs! "Kouyoshi! The bath's ready!"

> You and Rumia leave the bath and run downstairs to find Kouyoshi.  She's loitering around at the foot of the stairs when you find her.
> "Oh, okay."  She walks past you and Rumia up the stairs, disappearing into the bathing room.  You see Keine drop some clothes for Kouyoshi outside the door, and then run past you and Rumia down the stairs.
> "I'll be right back," Keine says.  "Stay in the schoolhouse, okay?"
> Rumia salutes.  "Got iiiit."

> _

[Sect]

> "Kay."
> Find our backpack and katana, and pull out our sketchbook and crayons.

[日巫子]

> "Kay."
> Find our backpack and katana, and pull out our sketchbook and crayons.

> You head back upstairs with Rumia following close behind.  You retrieve your backpack and katana from the hallway, and from your backpack you get your sketchbook and crayons.  Rumia has run past you and is now opening one of the doors.

> _

[Sect]

> "What's in there?"
> Find a table or a cushion or something to draw at.

[日巫子]

> "What's in there?"
> Find a table or a cushion or something to draw at.

> "Not food," Rumia says.
> You look around for somewhere to draw, your search leading you to the door Rumia opened.  There's a small coffee table sitting at the center of the tatami mat here, with a few cushions sitting around that.  A few potted plants sit here and there, and even a few paintings on the walls.

> _

[Sect]

> Pull up a cushion and sit at the coffee table.
> Open up the sketchbook. What have we drawn in here?

[日巫子]

> Pull up a cushion and sit at the coffee table.
> Open up the sketchbook. What have we drawn in here?

> You take a seat at the coffee table and crack open the sketchbook.  You've drawn a lot in here so far: pictures of bugs and frogs you've found, pictures of your family, different flowers you've seen, and so forth.
> Rumia is running around the room, inspecting everything on the walls and looking at the plants, as if she expects to find something here.

[Sect]

> Find a fresh page and start drawing whatever comes to mind. Kouyoshi, Mr. Frog, Mayohiga on fire, the evil youkai, the eviller kitsune, Kouyoshi's house, Rumia...

[[Y]oukai [J]esus]

>Draw Froggy!

>Don't cry when you think of the past. ROU ROU FIGHT DA PAWAH. ROU ROU FIGHT DA PAWAH.

[日巫子]

> Find a fresh page and start drawing whatever comes to mind. Kouyoshi, Mr. Frog, Mayohiga on fire, the evil youkai, the eviller kitsune, Kouyoshi's house, Rumia...

>Draw Froggy!

>Don't cry when you think of the past. ROU ROU FIGHT DA PAWAH. ROU ROU FIGHT DA PAWAH.

> You flip to the newest page and start drawing everything you've seen yesterday and today.  You draw Mr. Frog, fighting back tears as you do so; Kouyoshi, with her ears and tail; Mayohiga, when it was on fire; the youkai you saw, surrounded by flames; the kitsune, although you use your imagination for this one and draw a fox with nine tails instead; Kouyoshi's house, opting to scribble where there was a lot of clutter; Rumia, coloring her ribbon in with a red crayon.
> As you draw, Rumia eventually gets bored of running around and crawls under the table, lying on her back.  A few minutes after this, Kouyoshi enters the room carrying her hat in her hands and wearing a dark blue nightgown that you assume belongs to Keine.  Her ears and tail have returned, now.  She sits down on one of the cushions and rests her head on her arms, her tail waving back and forth as she sighs.
> "That was a nice bath."

[Dizzy H. "Muffin" Muffin]

> "You're not ... transformed?"

[Sect]

> "Yeah..."
> Draw our cunning strategy to defeat the evil kitsune. Be sure to add explosions and awesome sword slicing.

> "You're not ... transformed?"

?

[日巫子]

> "You're not ... transformed?"

> "Wha?  I'm still sort of mimicking Sayane's appearance..."

> "Yeah..."
> Draw our cunning strategy to defeat the evil kitsune. Be sure to add explosions and awesome sword slicing.

> You turn back to your sketchbook, drawing out your plants to defeat the kitsune.  You soon have a drawing of you going at the kitsune with your sword with lots of explosions in the background.  Nice.

> _

[Sect]

> Show the picture to Kouyoshi. "Hey, hey, look!"

[Sect]

> "If that white haired lady can train me then I can do that to the kitsune!"
> Flip to the picture of Kouyoshi. "What do you think?"

[日巫子]

> "If that white haired lady can train me then I can do that to the kitsune!"
> Flip to the picture of Kouyoshi. "What do you think?"

> "Ohh."
> You show Kouyoshi the picture you drew of her.  She grins, and her tail swishes back and forth.
> "No one's ever drawn me before, that's nice~"
