This is Tama’s perspective, not Satou’s.
Correction of typos made on 2/11.
I checked the pink ninja outfit Master made for me in the mirror.
Yeah, it’s so cute~
I wanted to show it off to Pochi, but he wasn’t anywhere to be found.
Apparently, he went out to play early this morning~
“Tama-chan, here’s your lunch and snack for today.”
“Thanks~ Barima~”
I was so happy and excited that I twirled around with the lunch set Lulu made held high above my head.
Today is definitely going to be a good day, meow.
◇
Today, I’m patrolling the town again.
After all, ninjas live in the shadows, so I watch over the peace of the town from the dark.
Oh, a dragonfly!
I hopped and chased alongside the dragonfly flying by the stream.
I waved to the lady washing clothes and the young woman holding a baby.
Everyone happily waved back.
Huh? Ninjas aren’t supposed to be seen.
Ah well, it’s fine~
Oh, that man is being bullied!
Wait for me~ Ninja Tama is coming to the rescue now~
◇
“Wait! If you take that, my business will collapse!”
“You can just sell yourself to a slave trader, right?”
“Dad! Help me!”
“Please forgive my daughter!”
Umm, this punk dude here is the bad guy?
So confusing~
“Hmph! Today I’ll only take the cooking tools and the daughter!”
“But, the debt was supposed to be just one silver coin!”
“There’s interest! Now it’s 100 gold coins!”
“That’s outrageous greed!”
Gold coins? Nyuuun?
Master gave me one this morning but it’s not enough.
Ah, the man is starting to get hit with a stick.
The young lady is crying!
Making her cry is not allowed!
“Tenshiru! Chishiru! Miracrun! The mysterious ninja Tama has arrived!”
That’s right, I’ll use ninjutsu here!
“Ninpo—Uchi (・) Semi no Jutsu~”
I knocked out the punks and swapped them out with a clothed log.
I left the log behind and jumped up onto the roof with the punks tied up, ta-da!
The quickly tied-up punks got thrown into a back alley.
I spun them around and tossed them.
“Huh? The greedy fox family isn’t here?”
Landing quietly beside the surprised lady.
“Aku, Soku, Zazaan!”
Striking a victory pose, feeling triumphant.
The lady froze with her mouth open. Bugs might get in, you know?
“They’ve been defeated~ de gozaru.”
“Th-thank you.”
“You’re welcome (・) nin nin.”
Is it okay to just leave the man behind like that?
Tilting my head to look at him, it seems the lady finally noticed the man.
“That’s right! Dad, hang in there!”
“Here, drink this~ de gozaru.”
Potion’s the best for injuries, right?
When I gave him the potion Master gave me, he was surprised.
◇
At the park near Ivy Manor, it’s lunchtime.
Mmm, I really like it here with all the greenery.
It’s probably my second favorite place after Master’s lap.
If only there was a short-eared rabbit here so I could chase it and play.
Huh? Someone’s coming.
I placed the doll on the ground and moved onto a tree.
Because, you know, I’m a ninja.
“Found you! You’re the one who beat up the third generation, huh?”
“Heh heh, what’s wrong? Too scared to even look back?”
“Gahahaha~ We’re the greedy fox family that even makes crying children run away!”
Umm, fat flag? Dieting is tough, you know?
The punks are pressing swords against the doll and shouting loudly.
Isn’t it about time they noticed?
I’m a little mad that my turn hasn’t come yet.
“What’s this? It’s just a doll!”
“Damn, did it already escape?”
Ah, they’re looking around.
They’re also looking up at the tree but don’t notice me. Ninjas are invisible, after all.
Time to interrupt with the windmill!
I took the windmill from my pouch and threw it at the punks’ feet.
Take that.
“Whoa, brother! Brother!”
Huh?
The punks got flattened under the windmill.
That’s weird—Arisa always said “windmill” at times like this.
“Why is there a windmill (fuusha) in a place like this?!”
“Hey, are you alive?”
Is kazaguruma different from fuusha?
Trying to destroy the evidence~?
I retrieved the Flexblade Sword with a swift motion and put it back in my pouch.
