The next day, Chichiri walked over to where he could see Miaka and Tamahome eating breakfast and sat down on the bench beside them.
"Tamahome no da?" he started. "Could I please speak to you no da?"
"What do you want? Help with your hair?" Tamahome jibed. "I'm eating."
"Of course not no da! I wanted to speak to you about Tasuki no da."
"Tasuki? What about him?" Miaka interrupted.
"Well, I was going to speak to Tamahome privately no da, but... could you keep this conversation a secret no da?" Chichiri plainly didn't want to have Miaka spoiling his yet to be determined surprise.
"Watashi ha yakusoku suru!" [1]
"That's good to hear no da. I want to get Tasuki back for that prank he pulled on me, but I don't know what to do no da."
"You, revenge?" Tamahome snickered.
"Hai no da. You two know him better than I do no da, so what is his biggest weakness no da?"
"Let me think... well, he is terrified of water. Hydrophobia."
