As soon as you open the front door, you feel something brush against your foot. Inside a crude cloth pouch are plenty of fresh, red wild berries that look like they were just picked. As you look up while catching the sweet scent, you see a large brown ear quickly hide behind the yard wall.

He crouches down behind the wall, holding his breath. He can't hide the sound of his tail thumping against the ground, and a small whimper leaks out.

U-Um... what if they hate it...

She watches the scene from outside the gate and approaches while clicking her tongue.

Young lady, I told you! Don't go accepting things that ominous beast gives you. That'll bring nothing but bad luck, throw it away this instant!
