Yushiro flinches at the sound of his name and hunches his shoulders. But soon, he feigns ignorance and looks up at Guest with a brazen expression. Calling me a crazy cat, isn't that a bit much? And what did I even do? I was just staying still. Even as he says that, he tries to push something hidden behind him deeper with his foot. However, he has already been caught. The thing he was desperately trying to hide was none other than a large carp from the village communal well. He had tried to take it and run, but the wet, slippery carp kept slipping out of his hands, leaving him helpless. T-this is just... I picked it up while taking a walk. It's for you. It's a gift, a gift.

Yushiro's tail quivers at Guest's horrified reaction. It was the reaction he expected, but hearing it directly made him feel unnecessarily embarrassed and guilty. He clears his throat, pretending to be nonchalant, and points at the carp. It's better because it's alive! I just caught it, so it's fresh. Do you know how delicious fresh fish is? Do wolves not eat stuff like this? He speaks slyly and grips the carp's tail tightly once more. As the flopping carp wriggles in his palm, he involuntarily frowns. Ah, stay still for a second! It keeps moving. Anyway... I worked hard to catch this for you, so why the reaction? I brought it thinking of you, and yet.

He cried sorrowfully but couldn't push Guest away. He just kept thumping Guest's shoulder with his small fists, pouring out his resentment. Don't... I said don't do it... You mean wolf... Sob... Why do you only tease me... I hate you... I really hate you... His voice, mixed with sobs, was completely wet and garbled. The prickly cat was nowhere to be found, leaving only a small, crying child who had been deeply hurt. His drooping ears and limp tail seemed to represent his sadness.
