A juggling... yellow mouse?
Hearing her little sister's words, Goko Ruri felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity for so reason.
It was as if she had heard of a similar existence at so point.
But right now, she didn't have ti to think carefully about where this sense of familiarity ca from. She hurriedly ran to her two younger sisters' side to check on their condition.
Tamaki seed fine. She was currently in her childhood, and had not yet ford a clear concept of things like youkai and ghosts.
In her eyes, she even seed to think that the little mouse was quite cute. She was now staring with wide eyes, searching the room for the little mouse's whereabouts.
On the other hand, Goko Hinata, who had just turned 10 this year and was at an age of wild imagination, perhaps because she had just discovered her older sister's secret, had already made up a bunch of ghost stories in her little head to scare herself, and was quite frightened.
Almost the mont Goko Ruri ca over, this little girl couldn't help but burrow into her sister's arms and cry.
While crying, she was still sobbing about how she didn't want to die, and didn't want her sister to be taken away by those youkai and ghosts, which made Goko Ruri a little unsure of how to comfort her sister.
Just at this mont, a small hand holding a few tissues suddenly reached out from the side, gently patting Goko Ruri, as if signaling for her to quickly take the tissues and wipe her sister's tears away.
Goko Ruri subconsciously said thank you, and then took the tissues from the small hand that had reached out and began to wipe her sister's tears.
But in the next mont, her body also beca stiff.
Wait, even Tamaki's hand isn't this small, is it?
She stiffly turned her head to the side, and then she saw a brownish-yellow mouse showing a friendly smile and waving cheerfully at her.
Looking at this mouse, Goko Ruri, whose brain had instantly crashed from the large amount of information, had not yet reacted. On the contrary, Takeda Sae, who had followed behind, was the first to let out a loud cry.
"So it was you, this little mouse, causing mischief! I felt sothing was wrong as soon as I entered the living room. I didn't expect it to be you!"
"Little girl, you quickly take your two younger sisters and leave the living room. Let deal with this little mouse that has turned into a youkai!"
Goko Ruri turned her head back and saw that the Godly Mother of Shitamachi had, at so unknown point, taken out a long staff again, and was holding a few things that looked like talismans in her hand, as if she were preparing to have a fierce battle with this mouse in her living room.
"W-wait a minute—" Seeing that the Godly Mother of Shitamachi was about to make a big move, Goko Ruri hurriedly stood in front of her.
"I know this mouse! It's not a youkai!"
Because of her anxiety, her blocking action was a little too big, and she almost pushed the other person over.
Takeda Sae was interrupted by this and staggered a few steps before she could barely steady herself with the long staff in her hand.
Then, after hearing clearly what Goko Ruri had just said, an expression of shock also appeared on her face.
After all this fuss, you knew this guy all along? Then why didn't you say so earlier!?
She had spent so much effort, setting up a barrier and even taking out her trump card, and now you're telling he's one of your own?
She looked at Goko Ruri, as if wanting to get an explanation from her.
And looking at the little mouse on the table, which was making provocative gestures and seed eager to have a go with the Godly Mother of Shitamachi, Goko Ruri also felt a bit of a headache.
She never thought that after all the fuss she had made all night, it would turn out to be just a misunderstanding.
She hadn't reacted before, but the mont she saw Jerry, she imdiately rembered.
After all, the mysterious person had ntioned Jerry more than once in the diary, and had even specially posted Jerry's picture to let them, the diary holders, know. He had even told them in the diary to give him a bow when they saw him.
Although this kind of talk seed like a joke, if you really wanted to be particular about it, this little mouse could really be considered their "Little Martial Uncle."
Thinking of the one sentence the mysterious person had left in tonight's diary, "I've left so gifts for you all," so this gift was sending this mouse to her house!
Thinking of this, Goko Ruri's heart was on the verge of collapse.
She rubbed her forehead, and then looked with so helplessness at Jerry, who was still dancing a little jig.
"You're... Jerry, right? I'm Kuroneko. You must have been sent by that guy, right?"
Jerry whistled at Goko Ruri, then nodded to indicate that yes, that was the case. He was just here to freeload for a few days.
Such vivid actions and expressions imdiately made little Tamaki's eyes start to sparkle.
"Big sister, big sister, you know this little mouse?!"
Let alone Tamaki, even Goko Hinata couldn't help but take another look, and then her just-rebuilt worldview collapsed again.
So, my big sister really isn't an ordinary person anymore!
Goko Ruri sighed with frustration. After finally sending her two younger sisters back to their own room, she then returned to the living room and said to the Godly Mother of Shitamachi, "Godly Mother, the situation with this mouse is a bit complicated. Kaguya-sama also knows about it. Let tell her about this first."
Then she took out her phone and began to send the details of the situation here to the group, and even took a picture of Jerry.
This little guy's intelligence could only be said to be truly high. When he saw her taking a picture, he even knew to deliberately pose for the cara.
Soon, Takeda Sae's side received a call from Shinomiya Kaguya.
How Kaguya-sama had placated her on the phone is a story for another ti. Anyway, the compensation was definitely maxed out.
Because after finishing the call, besides the strange look in her eyes as she looked at the little mouse who was still perking up its ears to eavesdrop on her phone call, Takeda Sae didn't say anything more.
After that, she didn't even drink a cup of tea before she said she had to return to the Shinomiya residence to report to Kaguya-sama.
Throughout the entire process, she did not show any other expression. She didn't even ntion the magic beads and jade that had been "picked up" by Jerry just now, as if she had already defaulted to giving those things to him.
Only Goko Ruri, who had caused such a big misunderstanding, was embarrassed and insisted on seeing her off to the nearby station, apologizing to her repeatedly along the way. It wasn't until she had seen her off that she returned ho, dejected.
And as soon as she got ho, she saw that this little martial uncle of hers had, while she was out just now, brought her two younger sisters to the living room again.
Now her two younger sisters, Tamaki, was there with sparkling eyes, holding an orange and feeding it to him, segnt by segnt.
And Hinata was respectfully making a gesture of worship, as if she were treating Jerry as so kind of deity.
As for Jerry, he was leisurely enjoying the service of her two younger sisters, comfortably lying on the table, eating fruit and watching TV.
