Greetings! The great Shiro has come to pamper you!
Huh?
Oh, wrong apartment. Bye!
More hallucinations...
I'm done.
Greetings! The great Shiro has come to pamper you!
Hmm?
You just don't learn your lesson, do you?
He's liable to fluff your tail, you know?
I'm not going to force myself on her.
You're sleeping?
I'm fine without the fluffing, but at least pay attention to me!
You haven't even gotten out of bed!
He hasn't had a day off in a while, so he's resting.
Leave him be.
What? But I came all the way here!
Not accepting my pampering is just too rude!
He's tired. It's not his fault.
It's fine, Senko.
Want to play some video games?
Video games?
It's a modern leisure activity.
Play time? Sounds fun!
Machines are rough. I don't know if you can handle it!
Heh, no problem!
The great Shiro shall play till you drop!
"The Helpful Fox Senko-san"
"Episode 6: You just want to fluff more."
Boing, boing, boing!
These video games are fun! I'm getting the hang of it!
You're quite good, Shiro. You beat the tutorial so easily!
It's nothing, really. Your brain is stuck in the past!
Eep!
Hmm! You have no hope of keeping up with trends!
Eep...
"A fox of the people." Fox populi.
What's with you?
Ah, nothing.
I've got other games, too.
"Super Fluffy Brothers" "StarFluff"
Hmm...
Which one should we play? Hee-hee!
Oh! I didn't know you liked video games that much.
Yeah, I do, I buy them all the time.
I don't have time to play them, so they keep piling up.
How tragic.
"Super Fluff Bros. Melee" Okay! I picked one!
"Super Fluff Bros. Melee" Fluff Bros., huh?
Ooh, that one's real rough!
No problem!
All set!
Hey, Nakano. Sit here.
Oh, okay.
Hee-hee!
Ta-da! It's a human backrest!
And it's got a petting mode!
Hee-hee! You know how to please!
You make a very comfy seat. Perfect for gaming!
I am honored to receive such praise.
It's like cheering up a kid.
What?! What was that? You're breaking the rules!
You've got to resist the urge to attack there.
--Yes! --Winner, Maki!
Ooh, nice one!
Your next opponent will be tougher!
Hmph! Bring it!
It's somehow heartwarming...
--Just watching her is fun. --Prepare to be crushed!
Hey, you two. How about a snack?
It's my special ohagi.
--Yaaay! --Oof!
Are you okay?
Y-Yeah.
These are the best!
Thanks!
She looks so happy eating it.
Mmm! Sen's ohagi are on a different level!
I'll have another!
Try not to make such a mess when you eat.
I am!
No matter how old you get, you're still like a kid.
This side, too.
It's fun just hanging out like this.
I'll leave your tea here, okay.
Okay!
It's just like family...
Spending a cozy day off together.
Would you like some, too?
Oh, yes, thank you!
Mm!
--Uh-oh! There's only one ohagi left.
--Winner, Maki! --Uh-oh! There's only one ohagi left.
You haven't had one yet, have you, Kuroto?
Oh, you're right, I haven't.
Ah, let me have half!
No, you already ate most of them!
Aww!
I've got an offer for you, Nakano!
Hmm?
"Super Fluff Bros. Melee" Whoever wins the next match gets to eat the last one!
Hey, Shiro! Stop being so greedy!
A showdown, huh? All right, but I might not go easy on you!
That's fine! It's more exciting when you play for real!
And I, Shiro, am no pushover when it comes to a showdown.
I might be a newbie, but you haven't had time to play, have you?
Yeah, I guess not.
I'm sorry, but this one's mine.
I haven't played much since I started working, but when I was a student,
I regularly cut into my sleep time to play the previous title.
Plus...
...I want to eat that ohagi!
Okay!
It's on!
Winner, Maki!
I couldn't even touch you.
Mm-hmm, that was easy!
You're quite good. You saw through all of my moves.
Yeah, I guess.
There, there. It's okay.
Don't get upset. It's only natural that you lost.
Huh?
Shiro used her inner eye to read your mind.
That's not very fair!
Sure it is! It's just part of my skill.
What's wrong? Did you get out-foxed?
Thanks for the ohagi!
Yum!
Ugh! She really seems to be enjoying that ohagi.
Well then...
I've got some leftover bean paste filling--
I can use it to make some sesame ohagi for you.
Just give me a minute!
--Oh! --Ooh, I want sesame ohagi!
You've already had enough.
But I haven't had any of your food lately!
I want to eat more!
All right! One more match!
Eep?
Ha, ha! That's the spirit!
Okay! Whoever wins gets to eat the sesame ohagi!
Okay! This one is mine!
We're having a showdown, so it's okay, right, Sen?
Mm! All right, then.
Even without reading my mind, you're really good at video games.
Mm-hmm! I, Shiro, am a genius after all!
This is nothing to me.
And you're always thinking about what you don't want to happen!
I'm going to attack-- I hope she doesn't see it and counter!
Mm! He's attacking!
I just do whatever you're afraid of!
Huh?!
You worry too much!
So, I was losing to myself.
Winner, Maki!
"Ended up losing every match"
Time to head home, Nakano!
That was pretty fun. I'll come knock you out again sometime.
Shiro, that leads to the neighbor's!
Oh! Now that you mention it,
I accidentally went there first before I came here.
--Huh? --Huh?
Bye!
I wonder if Koenji was okay.
Eep. We should go apologize.
"The Helpful Fox Senko-san"
My name is Yasuko Koenji.
I work as a manga artist, and I'm also a college student.
All done!
It's hard balancing my time between the two,
but I live a pretty full life.
However, there is one thing that bothers me.
And that is...
Be right there.
Good afternoon!
My next-door neighbor is too cute!
You're looking lovely as always, Senko!
Flattering me won't get you anything extra!
I brought this for you.
Thank you, you're always so kind.
Not at all, I'm sorry we bothered you.
Huh?
I heard that Shiro visited you a few times.
Shiro?
Ta... Tama?!
Who's Tama? I'm Shiro.
Greetings! The great Shiro has come to pamper you!
So it wasn't a hallucination.
Eep...
Do you mind if I come in?
Not at all!
You've made another mess, huh?
How embarrassing...
And it sounds like you haven't been eating properly, either.
Yeah...
I'll clean up here. You enjoy your lunch.
If you say so!
Ooh! Thank you so much!
Mm!
Mm-mm!
Hmm, there's quite a lot of trash.
We'll have to sort it by burnable and non-burnable.
"Plump Yakisoba"
Senko is a mysterious person.
She looks like a cute young cosplayer girl,
but every now and then, she comes by to help me...
She looks young, but at the same time, she's very motherly.
If what she says is to be trusted,
she's an adult, and she and the other neighbor are a couple.
It's like Lolita, but legal! I'm jealous!
Her ears and tail are so well-made, you'd think they're real!
So, this is that "manga" you've been drawing?
Hmm, most interesting!
And while her speech is old-fashioned,
she knows so little about the world!
"How to Draw Girls"
"Manga Illustration"
Sometimes, I think she might be a real fox girl...
But it's not like this is a cartoon or anything.
Yum!
How could she be a bad person when her food is so delicious?
Well, that's a start.
Woah, you cleaned up so much!
Mm!
Thank you! I didn't realize my room was this big!
You left too much garbage lying around.
I put all of your small things in here.
Thank you so much! You're really pampering me
with the food and the cleaning.
Think nothing of it! It brings me pleasure!
Just having a little cosplayer girl around makes me happy,
but on top of that, she's super helpful!
--Ooh! --I should express my thanks to her somehow.
Cosplay!
It's got to be here somewhere...
Eep! You're making a bit of a mess again...
Here it is! Senko!
Hmm?
Why don't you put it on?!
Eep?
I think it's your size!
Why do you have clothing that fits me?
I bought it as reference for my manga. I don't use it anymore, though.
Oh, yes, but I'm not particularly interested in cos--
Your husband will like it if you switch up your costume!
It'll look great on you, I know it!
You really think so?
Absolutely!
Your husband is going to be completely blown away!
...completely blown away! ...completely blown away!
Senko, are you ready?
Um, yes...
D-Did I get it right?
Ooh! This is incredible!
An amazing... maid-fox... combination!
Would you mind posing for me?
L-Like this?
Thank you!
"Pictures of Senko"
Wow, what a display!
I'm glad you had so much fun.
I'd like you to have the maid outfit.
Are you certain?
I'm not going to use it anymore, and you're always helping me.
It's my way of saying "thanks."
Well then, I humbly accept.
I will drop by again soon, if it pleases you.
Goodbye.
I'll be waiting!
Mm!
Senko is too cute! It's not fair, Nakano!
If she wasn't your wife, I would have been all over her!
I'm impressed I was able to control myself. Well done, Yasuko!
Aww, I wish I could live with a cute little girl wife, too...
I'm home.
It is a pleasure to see you again...
...Master.
Eep!
Why did you shut the door?!
Senko, you're outside! Outside!
You didn't have to run away!
I mean, it was just a lot to take in--
I wanted to take a second to gather my thoughts...
Do you mean to tell me that you don't like these clothes?
Mm...
Well... it's not that I don't like them. They do suit you...
You look wonderful.
I am glad to hear it.
Koenji gave me these clothes--
She said that all men love maid outfits.
Blown. Away.
So, Koenji is the culprit.
Why does she have a maid outfit in your size?
She said it was reference material for her manga.
Oh, right, she's a manga artist.
Mm!
I wonder what kind of manga she's working on.
She showed me some of it. There were quite a few maids.
I see. Maid outfits, huh?
Personally, I'd like to see a bit of Japanese taste mixed in,
maybe a nostalgic look from the Taisho era.
Ah, I see.
Oh, that's not it!
Mm!
I'm glad I got to see you in a maid outfit,
but I like your normal clothes more.
Oh?
I mean... Well...
It just doesn't feel like being at home. It's not as relaxed.
What is it?
It made me happy, that's all.
Having me around is normal for you now.
If you really think about it, it's anything but normal.
But having you around so much, I guess I've gotten used to it.
Of course you did!
I request that you allow me the pleasure of fluffing your tail
so that I do not forget why I am thankful every day.
You just want to fluff more.
What the hell...
...is up with those clothes? They're so cute!
"Super Senko-san Time"
"Super Shiro-sama Time"
You're late!
I, the great Shiro, have come to grace you with my pampering!
Now hurry up and come inside!
Ta-da! What do you think? Is this maid outfit not divine?
It's so frilly and cute, right?
Hmm-hmm! Feel free to praise me more!
Hmm? You think the contrast between black and white is pretty?
Right? You're quite sharp, aren't you?
Welcome home, Master.
Care for some tea?
"You must be the Taisho Era Nostalgia Maid.
The Japanese elements suit you perfectly. It's just what I like!"
Hold on, you're praising her way more than me!
Careful, Shiro! You're going to spill the tea!
Yeah, but...!
The master is tired. Will you please keep quiet?
Fine.
Hurry up and drink that tea, then we'll play some video games!
What are you talking about?
Thanks for all your hard work today. Sleep well.
And sweet dreams!
