You work at your local onsen as a sansuke, and you decided to work a later shift, at about 9:00pm at night until 12:00am.

It’s your break, so you decided to relax at the hot springs. By the time you arrive in a towel, you see another person already there, sitting on the ledge, his lower paws in the bubbling water. You quickly notice that he is indeed a Tanuki. He looks over by his side and notices you gazing at him.

TANUKI: “Ah, I didn’t think there was any workers around. Hope I’m not upsetting you with my form..”

The large Tankuki comments, his deeper, husky voice complimenting his stout form well. He scoots over a little bit out of instinct, almost to let you seat yourself beside him.
