Not from Satou’s perspective (from Tama’s perspective)

“Ninjas go from cliff to cliff~”
Wearing the ninja outfit Master made for me, I dash along back alleys and atop walls.
Tama won’t be caught by anyone. Because I’m a ninja, after all.
Peering down from the bridge into the irrigation canal.
I see small shrimp at the bottom of the clear water. They look delicious. I can’t help but reach out toward the surface—
Ah!?
Danger, danger.
The irrigation canal is full of danger, nya. No, I mean, it’s full of danger, goza… Goza-nsu? Which one was it again~?
Doesn’t matter, nya. I looked at my reflection in the water, and I still think pink is better than black. Arisa said ninja outfits have to be black! But I still want Master to make me a pink one.
Because it’s cuter that way.
“From cliff to cliff~”
Cliff? Maybe shadow? Either way, it’s fine~
Hop, hop, hop, I dash across the rooftops.
‘No, stop!’
‘Shut up, you woman?!’
I hear a scream, so I peek down from the roof into the alley.
Hmmmm. A man is pinning down a woman and tearing her clothes! The woman is crying and hitting the man, maybe because her clothes were torn. Ah, the man grabbed her hand and pushed her to the ground.
I have to help.
“Tenshiru! Chishiru! Mirakurun! The mysterious ninja Tama has arrived!”
Ah, I said my name.
Well, whatever.
I jump onto the head of the man shouting down below, and with an “Ei-ya!” I perform a head throw to knock him out. Siya taught me this technique. She said that to be fully competent, a samurai needs to master body techniques too.
His eyes rolled back and it looks creepy, but he’s twitching, so he’s alive, right?
“Um, thank you?”
“You’re welcome~! Nin-nin, goza-ru~”
That’s right, Arisa said ninjas need “nin-nin” and “goza-ru.”
Also, even if a ninja helps someone, they have to leave immediately. That’s the fate of those who live in the shadows.
“Sabara (…) goza-ru~?”
I throw a smoke screen bomb at my feet and jump up onto the roof, disappearing in the smoke. Speaking of which, Arisa said ninjas use their swords to jump, but how do they do that? I can just jump up to the roof normally.
Ah, over there now, an old man is being bullied. I have to go help him.
Wait there, old man, I’ll save you soon.
When I get back to the mansion, I’ll tell Master all about my adventure from his lap~
— So it goes, goza-ru.
