Coming~~ Ah, Mukai-san.
What brings you here on this rainy day?

Huh...
Really, what's the matter? That's... a raccoon.
Ah, um... about this guy.

A little while ago I randomly found him and he told me "Bring me to Akagi Miria's house."
It spoke!?
Ah, no, more like some kind of telepathy...
"Bring me there."
That's even scarier!

Ah
Don't tell me

You picked him up as a stray?
Now you're looking for someone who can take him in...
Wha-!?

N-No freakin' way someone like me...!
I'd never do something weak like pick up an animal...!
Niii~

W-What's wrong...!? Are you hungry...!?
It's all right. There, there. I'll get you something to eat in a bit!
Takemaru!
You've already named it...

Yeah...

It's too difficult to keep a pet at my house...
I see... Same here...

I was hoping he could stay until after the typhoon passes...
Can't help it! I'll go find someone else!

Ah, um
Mukai-san
Hm?
If you don't mind... can I search for someone to take him in along with you?

There's a typhoon coming tonight too! I'm sure we'll find someone faster with two people!

You're right...
Thanks.

All right!! Enough talk, let's settle this!!
W-We're searching for someone to take him in right?
Yup!!

Aah...

Damn... no luck yet.
The rain is starting to pick up too.

If we don't find someone soon, this guy will...

...Wah
*lick*
What's up, Takemaru?

Wa-wah! What's the matter!?
*lick* *lick*
Ehehe
He probably saw us sulking and was worried about us.

Haha. You're worried about us...
We're the ones who should be worried!

Well, he's got a point...
If we sit here moping we won't get anything done!

C'mon! Let's keep trying to find someone for him! Miria!
Yeah!

...that's the situation.

If possible, could you take him in?

Wah, a raccoon.
Sure, no problem.

Gotcha... Oh well, that's how it is...
Wait, what!? It's OK!? Are you sure you can decide it that easily!?
Yes.

My parents run a farm, so... I'll take him in until the next time I head back home.
Really!?

Yes, really.

Haha...
Aint that great, Takemaru!

It's 'take care' for real this time.

...He's saying that it feels really nice to be pet by you, Mukai-san.
I think he really loves you.

Takemaru...

O-Oikawa! Can I go over and see Takemaru once in a while!?
Of course, please do so.
Can I come 3 times a week!!?
Why not just work on the farm?

Haah

Jeez... I did something out of character...
It's pretty embarassing.
No way...!

It's not one bit embarassing!
You were so cool trying your hardest for Takemaru's sake!!
Miria...

You...
You've got promise!! You wanna become my underling!?
I'll
I'll have to pass on that.

I'm...
I'm cold...

Ah, jeez...
