That's a pretty face you have!
No wonder you caught Aya's eye.
Hmmmm...
Ain't it the truth!
You can enter my faith if you like!
I refuse.
Wait just a minute!!
Get away from her, stupid Hatate!!
She's my subject!!
Well, if it isn't Aya! ...This is so unlike you. What ever has you so upset?
Nothing.
You really do like this human, don't you?
Now I'm even more interested.
It's Aya-san!
...Truly.
You're still stalking me, just like always...
*unsteady steps*
Say, Aya!
Won't you give her to me?
No.
I'm sure I could write a better article about her.
No.
Hmmm, then just let me ask her a few questions.
No.
Whaaat?
No.
Oh come on!
No.
Find yourself another youkai.
But I'm interested in humans too!
No.
Is she that special?
Not really.
Give me a chance, then!
No.
Why not?
Because.
...What?
Do you love her?
Not really!
If you're that—
That's right!!
Eh?
Aya-san loves me very much!
Wait—
Hee-hee!
Sanae-san!?
That's why she won't let you have me!
And of course, Aya-san is mine.
So please keep your hands off her!
For real...?
This is a scoop!!
Mountain Miko's Ardent Love Comes To Light! The object of her affections is the renowned Shameimaru Aya!
Wait!
Please stop it, for real!!
Oh? What am I to do?
I can't have you writing unfounded articles on me.
Really? I thought that was our field of expertise as tengu!
And to write an article on me of all people... I won't let you do it!!
Hmph! If you think you can stop me, give it your best shot!
Um...
I've been telling everyone that "Aya-san is mine".
So please stop fighting!
*tip*
I don't think it would be a very fresh article!
While Aya-san wished to keep her relationship with Sanae-san a secret, Sanae-san had been going around making sure Aya-san does not get taken (boasting to everyone).
Ah, it's been a while since I teased you like I did today, Aya!
That was fun!
To think that I was shown up by a little girl like her...
She does such unpredictable things at times.
Even today...
Oh gosh!
*ka-click-click-click-click*
If the other tengu find out that I'm in a love relationship with the mountain miko...
what are they going to say about me?
Oh, who cares?
I'll cheer you on!
If anything happens, just come and talk to me!
As your close friend, I can help you.
Huh?
Close... friend...?
You?
Pfft!
Ack!
What's with that face!?
It pisses me off so bad!
In Hatate's house
Hatate-san, Aya's self-styled "rival and closest friend".
