All I need to do is transform back and forth once.

I see.

So that earring isn't part of the transformation, huh?

Yeah. Ran-sama... My master gave it to me.

Look.

Apparently, because I'm normally all black... She can't recognize me when I'm not transformed.

But she's your master, right? How can she not tell?

I have trouble telling apart foxes or tanuki, too. It is how it is.

Is that so...

Come to think of it, we're also dressed so we can always recognize each other as comrades.

Guess it's not that different.
