"However, when we're outside, please call me Shura Anyakonsen-shou only when you see me wearing the purple armor.
During non-work hours, I'd still like to trouble you all to help cover up my identity as the Shura Anyakonsen-shou."
The three little ones nodded to show they understood.
"Very good. Then let's find something to do for a bit. Speaking of which, what was Miss Aurora just talking to you all about?"
The kappa spoke first.
"Miss Aurora was telling us about the Mikawa Flower Festival! That wonderful youkai celebration!"
Oh~ It seemed the Shogun had learned quite well. Although she still had some distance to go when chatting with humans, chatting with youkai was no problem at all.
The Shura Anyakonsen-shou directly joined in on the longing for the festival.
"If we're talking about the Mikawa Flower Festival, then there definitely need to be games to make it fun. What do you all think would be most suitable?"
"Test of Courage!"
"Akitsu Artistry!"
"Hanafuda and Kendama would be nice too."
The old uncle responded with approval.
"I think it's possible. However, if we want to hold the Mikawa Flower Festival, we'll definitely need everyone's help. But if I'm the one starting it, how should we stay in contact?
I can't keep running into the forest to find you all, and right now it's not appropriate for you to get too close to humans either, so it wouldn't be convenient for you to come looking for me at the Kamisato Estate."
This question momentarily stumped the three little youkai.
"What the old uncle said makes sense. Then how should we stay in contact?"
Faced with the little fox youkai's question, the old uncle gave a solution.
"Why don't you all go stay at my Shura Anyakonsen-shou's small wooden house for the time being? As the Shura Anyakonsen-shou's shrine, it would be quite normal for youkai to be there as well.
Coincidentally, the recent expansion has just been completed, and it will be open to the public normally. There should be quite a lot of foot traffic. If you want to make friends with humans, that should be a very good place."
Faced with the old uncle's proposal, the kappa's voice was filled with excitement.
"Oh! As expected of the old uncle! This way it'll be much more convenient for the old uncle to find us! The problem is solved in one go!"
The one-eyed little monk scratched his head. Although he felt like something wasn't quite right, he couldn't put his finger on it.
The fox youkai actually felt a bit nostalgic about it.
"The small wooden house? Back then, because a lot of shrine maiden sisters came, I wasn't used to it since they were too respectful, so I left…"
But no matter what, the three little youkai could now be considered to have registered their names at the Shura Anyakonsen-shou's shrine.
What awaited them was probably the evil hell known as being working people.
Although they would probably have a lot of fun.
"Hi hi! Looks like I'm still the better one! Kujou Tengu! My Onikabuto is bigger!"
Although his dao heart had previously been crushed by Little Sara, who was Little Itto?
[Arataki: Can Lose But Absolutely Won't Admit Defeat, The Genuine Manly Itto!]
Even though you really did beat this great one, this great one will never admit defeat!
This great one will keep challenging you! Until the day I beat you!
"Denied. Your Onikabuto is just fat. It probably has trouble even moving. An Onikabuto that has strength and moves nimbly is the healthy one."
The old uncle's face turned dark as he watched Little Sara and Little Itto return while holding Onikabuto.
Those Onikabuto really were full of vitality…
"Shu… Miss Aurora, help me block for a moment…"
The old uncle chose to cower behind Miss Aurora.
At this moment, the fox youkai was still holding the Onikabuto that belonged to the old uncle.
"Fox youkai, I really can't handle this Onikabuto. Just take it back and have the shrine maiden sisters at the shrine help take care of it…"
There was no helping it. It was a gift from a child. Although it went against his instincts, he shouldn't waste it either…
One could only say that adults were like this — they had to be strong enough.
