Housesitting at the Hakurei Shrine.

I'm bored...

Oh, my, princess, so this is where you are?

Hmm? ...Ah!

Amanojaku?!

What are you doing here?! I'm not gonna be tricked by you anymore!

Oh, dear, how disappointing. And after I came today to bring you a token of apology...

Apology?

W... Wooow! Amazing! It's so biiig!

Well? You should be able to enjoy this greatly as you are now, right, princess?

Amazing! Incredible! I'm so happy! Thanks, amanojaku!

...My name is Seija, you know.

W... Well, then, I'm gonna have some!

Go right ahead!

Grm...

Oh, my, whatever seems to be the matter?

Mmm... It's yummy, but I can't reach the bean paste...

Ahh... yes, it would get tiring eating just the outer shell, wouldn't it?

Seija, could you break this manjuu in half for me?

Oh, in half? Well, of course...

Wha?! Seija, what are you doing all of a sudden...?

Ahaha! Tricked you again! That's the pitiful face I was hoping to see from the very beginning, all right!

Th... that's...

By the way, that's a thick-crust manjuu, so there's no way in hell you'd ever get to the bean paste!

I hope you lie awake hungry in bed tonight!

Ahyahyahya! That crying is music to my ears, priiincess! Go on, despair even more! Cry even mooooooo... oh?

And so, Shinmyoumaru was able to experience the joy of bean paste.
