There are many powerful forces in the world of Four Gods Sky & Earth, and many hazardous creatures. Yet even the gods agree there is one force that is more dangerous than all the rest - a bored nyan-nyan.
It was a sunny spring morning, and the nyan-nyan was bored. She sat on top of the courtyard wall, drumming her feet and watching Taitsu-kun's student doing something in the dirt. She had felt that now-familiar tickling and waited patiently for it to resolve, but it didn't. She found that watching Chichiri-sama made the tickling worse, but that looking away didn't help much. She decided to get up and walk it off, and leapt off the stone wall. As soon as her feet hit the ground, without any guidance from her, they carried her over to where Chichiri-sama was working.
"Hello no da," he said, and the Nyan-nyan jumped. "What's your name na no da?" She didn't understand his question, so she remained silent. He smiled kindly and thought, She must be shy no da.
"Oh, well. You've been watching awhile - are you curious about what I'm doing no da?" She didn't understand that either, but decided she should reply.
"Nyan-nyan have nothing to do. Nyan-nyan bored." She tried vainly to ignore the tickling his earlier questions had evoked. "Nyan-nyan fix ground!" she cried eagerly, noticing his efforts had torn up the ground where he worked.
"No, wait no da!" he cried frantically. "I need the ground like this, I'm planting seeds no da. Would you like to help no da?"
By this time the tickling had become a furious itch, but something was forming. She paused, then blurted out, "What mean that word?"
"What word no da?
"Help."
"Oh . . . I guess it shouldn't suprise me you don't know it no da. Help means you work with someone else to fix something no da. Right here, it means I'll go along the rows and make holes for you to drop these seeds in no da."
The itching had eased alot, and her boredom had vanished. Helping is more fun than fixing, the nyan-nyan thought. She picked up the seeds and felt the tickle, but this time she knew what to do. "What kind of seeds are these?"
"Field peas no da. Your mistress loves them, no da. You are curious, aren't you, no da?"
"Chichiri-sama, what mean 'curious'?"
