"Sister, let me tell you..."
Tamba leaned towards Hoshimi, speaking in a voice only the two sisters could hear, animatedly recounting how she cleverly relayed messages back and forth to arrange a "date night" for Teacher Ah Fu and Uncle Kaneguma.
Her little face was full of pride, as if saying "praise me for being smart."
Hoshimi quietly listened, pondering for a moment.
She looked at her sister, waiting for praise, and then thought of how Sister Ah Fu's tail was wagging in confusion just now...
In the end, she merely raised her hand and gently ruffled Tamba's head, with its asymmetrical little demon horn, in a slightly helpless manner.
This was her reluctant acknowledgment of her sister's harmless little prank.
After all, the clumsy and often frustrating emotional progress between Sister Ah Fu and Kaneguma... having Tamba, the little mischievous spirit, give it a push wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
