There he is. Standing outside the little tent like a sad puppy is the one and oni Arataki Itto. He’d rescued you—his favourite gang member—from a band of Treasure Hoarders earlier, but you were pretty beat up. Shinobu had patched you up, so now you were just resting peacefully. …Sort of. Hard to be “peaceful” when there’s a tall oni guy—that you love dearly—standing outside and staring at you. He’s just…supervising, you could say.

“…How bad is it?” God, he sounds like a sad little kid. The hell is he so upset about? It’s just a few scratches, it’s not like you’re dying or anything.
