Muuchan's day out!
Unlike the usual, sunny, bright days in the quiet, busy town, the day in question was dark, soggy, and wet. The run had drug on for a long time, making travel a bad idea. A large party was currently taking residence in the Ichinomiya residence, which seemed too small even with just three of them there- Kantaro, Haruka and Yoko. But that day, they were also in the company of Sugino, of the mountain village, and his green/blue, inflatable wife, Muuchan. However, said spouse of the mountain god was… nowhere to be seen.
Not that anyone cared, really, aside from her grieving husband.
Yoko was too busy keeping the house clean, and trying to cook. Haruka was too busy playing with a Kodama. And, the unfortunate Kantaro was trying to get over a bad cold. Being the responsible one in the house (ha ha ha…), he bravely ventured out into the cold and rain to buy supplies for his novel, and came back sick. Basically what that meant was… he was the only one who needed those things, and the others forced him to go.
The thing that made him most miserable was that upon his return, and despite the fact that he was flushed and coughing, nobody believed that he was sick, and they pushed him right into his room to work. Haruka was chosen to be his bodyguard and make sure he works, though, he was far more interested in playing with his little toy, and didn't even pay attention to Kantaro when he was moaning and complaining.
A half hour after Sugino had started to play a game of indoor hide-and-seek with Muuchan, he started to worry. Sure, he could admit (in his mind only) that his dear little wife was a little scatterbrained, but there weren't many places in the house to hide, and he was worried she's gotten herself lost! So, the brave white goblin went in search of her.
His first stop was the kitchen, where Yoko was busily cooking away. he had to stop a moment and stare in awe at how quickly and efficiently she could cook. The aromas filling the kitchen were so good, Sugino almost fell over and died, but just before he leaned over too far, he remembered his wife was still missing! Still, he fell over, yelling her name, which made Yoko jump. In her surprise, she accidentally made some hot oil splatter, and where else would it land but on Sugino's face?

Unlike most other creatures, like humans and goblins, Muuchan loved the rain! And, what luck! When her husband had started counting for the game of hide-and-seek, her secret crush, or something like it, Kantaro was being pushed out into the rain which she loved so much. Totally forgetting about the game, she walked off towards the door. However, Yoko closed it before she could get there, and she pouted. Then, she remembered that there was a window in Kantaro's room, and so she ran past her unsuspecting husband and climbed onto Kantaro's desk, opened the window, and jumped out.
The rain was wet and cold, and it was coming down heavily. Those were things Muuchan loved about the rain, and she jumped around for a while, getting wet in the puddles. Then, she faintly remembered that she had gone outside for a reason. Unable to remember what that reason was, she continued to jump in the puddles. She wan and hopped and skipped, and made her cute little noise.
While she was having fun, she then spotted a cat running around, trying to get out of the rain. The kitty spotted her and hissed, before running off through a hole in the bottom of a fence. Thinking the kitty was cute, she smiled and ran after the kitty. She didn't even notice it when Kantaro passed by the fence a moment later, coughing. For a moment, he stopped, thinking he heard her, but after a minute passed, a cold gust of wind reminded him of where he wanted to be- home in his nice, warm bed- and he kept on walking.
