Thanks for reviews, comment, faves and follows!

Thanks to crimson for edits!

I hope you enjoy it!


Yesterday,

I managed to finish all the requirements for that box. I ended up using that Tanuki for the soul requirement. Not only because that's the only one I could think of, but also because I can see how much loyalty she has.

I found that Tanuki really worried and sad—which was most likely caused by her loss. Heh… you know, it was because I took her fox the previous day. When I took her, I believe she was in the middle of looking for the fox. I swear she was trying to retort, but I put her in the box anyway. I'd like to have a loyal Wish maker that will look for me when I'm gone.

For the fabric… I used a purple silk that I got from the marketplace; it was pretty and not as expensive as that damned gold fabric. Really, who the hell would use that for this? I know she wants to add something valuable, but really? A silk is valuable enough!

Then as for the weapon…I wasn't quite sure what to add, I have plenty of weapons retained in the storage. So I ended up picking something that might probably be unique instead of the common weapon. It's a sickle with chain and iron weight called Kusari Gama. There are not many people who can use this—so I thought, perhaps that is something special for me.

About the sheath, I used my father's samurai sheath because apparently its sword was lost the day when he passed away. People seem to want to dump that anyway—but it is somewhat important for me.

The leather; heh…that dragon leather works well. It is valuable because it came from that pretty girl—Maki!

I wonder about the fruit though, what did she add?

Either way, I'm still waiting for the box to actually give me my Wish maker. I've been waiting since yesterday!

"Niko-chaan!" my mother suddenly called me,

"W-whoa?! M-Mom?"!

"Ah? What are you doing?" She asked.

"J-Just chilling, ahaha…" I laughed awkwardly.

"Oh…I see…" she nodded,

"By the way, do you know where Hiro and Hira is?" she asked.

H-Hiro and Hira? Are those the names of my men that I sent last time?

"H-Hiro and…Hira?" I tried to look confused,

"People said, the last time they saw them, they were told to buy you leather…then they went out with you?"

"I…I wouldn't know! I returned here earlier than them!" I said.

My mother gave me a sad smile,

"I see… I hope they're doing fine. They are two of our most loyal people…" she said.

D..Damn…?

My mother left with a disappointed face.

Urgh…

I need my Wish maker soon!

I tried to look around first, making sure that none of my siblings were around.

Then next—I took the box,

"Come on! Come out, will you?!" I whispered to it.

I waited for a while, it only give out the same shine as last night…and a transparent lock that I still don't understand.

Maybe I need to unlock it?

But how?!

Where's that damned merchant again!?

Sigh.

Why does she never show up when I need her?

Hmm…I wonder if Maki knows.

I could use it as an excuse to talk with her.

Yeah….

That's a brilliant idea. I should head out and look for her.


I headed out to the marketplace,

I could see some of our members hanging out under a big tree near the river, that's their usual spot. They noticed me and one of them started to beckon,

"Hey! Niko-chan!" they called.

"What?" I replied with a loud voice.

"Come here!" they said.

I sighed before I decided to approach them.

"Who are you waiting for?"

"Huh? None of your business…" I said.

"Oohh—could you be interested in someone?" one of them asked somewhat teasingly.

"N-No way! Hah! I just need to ask something, but I'm not quite sure where she lives!"

"She? Then… you might be talking about that red haired girl?"

H-How did they know?!

"Aha—I was right, then?"

"G-Gh! Yes and instead of asking me stupid questions. Why don't you tell me where she could be?!" I said.

They chuckled,

"Easy, that girl is from the Nishikino family, yes? She is one of the rich bastards. Should be living up the hills…" one of them said,

"Don't forget, you might as have to get through the tall walls… there's also some stupid guards patrolling around her place…"

"Hehe—they are too easy to trick and their asses are too lazy to chase. You can get through them easily…Niko-chan…" the other said.

Hah— yeah….

I keep forgetting that not many of my men care about keeping me safe.

Unless I order them to do so….

"Can you take their attention then? I want to go to the Nishikino estate…" I said.

They seem to be surprised somehow,

"W-whoa, taking the guards member attention could be easy—but it might be hard to escape if we got caught by the leader… they hired Sonoda Umi to guard their estate, right?" they give out this fearful face.

What useless chickens.

"What's with Sonoda Umi?" I asked.

"Niko-chan didn't know? She has been the most feared samurai in the past few years… a legend said that she murdered a whole clan with her katana and mercilessly slaughtered the police that were trying to capture her…"

I sighed at them.

"Fine, just work on the outer guards then, I don't care about the inside…" I said.

They turn their eyes to each other.

"Al..Alright… as long as we are not involved to enter the estate…"


So….

Here I am… at the hills that are commonly bought by the rich people to build their homes. The guards are indeed patrolling around the area. They don't seem to notice me and my men though. Maybe it's because we all already changed into formal wears. Thanks to them for the idea… maybe they were right about the guards getting easily tricked.

When I got closer to the house that was said to be the Nishikino residence, I could see a crowd lining up near the gate.

I wonder what that is for.

I tried to walk closer and closer, and then I could see a sign board that says,

Nishikino Clinic

A clinic?!

So she is the daughter of a doctor?!

I didn't expect that!

How could a doctor be that rich?!

It almost feels like she could own the entire land if she wants to.

I mean, she threw away 500,000 yen like throwing a single coin in the well.

What the hell?!

Ah—either way… I need to do something here…

Uhm…I need to get in..

But I don't want to be mistaken as a patient.

Hmm…how should I do this…

Maybe….

Let's try this…

I walked close to the guard, he was ignoring me at first, but just right before I could step my feet in, the guard blocked my path with his sword and glared at me.

"N….Niko?" I smiled awkwardly at him.

He remained silent.

"I…I want to visit…M-Maki-chan…" I said nervously.

He still remained quiet.

Geez…where the hell have those dimwits gone off to? Did they run away already?!

"Name and occupation…" the guard said.

"Y…Yazawa….Niko….. uh…a…Yakuza…." I said.

Then suddenly his eyes felt like he was going to kill me.

Haha…

I'm so brilliant…

Why the hell did I tell him that I'm a Yakuza?

Of course he will try to kill me!

He started with a signal that caught everyone's attention.

Damn it!

I started to run as well before a few guards pursued after me with their weapons in hand.

Ggrhh….

I wish I could rewind time and lie about who I am!

Gah–I don't think wishing right now will do any help, this wish maker in this—…

Huh..?

Wait…

The lock is shaking…

It's like it's going to break!

Maybe… maybe it was because I said my wish in my mind…

What if I tried to actually wish it?

"I wish I can rewind the time!" I said clearly.

Then suddenly a transparent key appeared and unlocked the box.

Then I could see purple light shine from the box before a woman-like voice appeared,

"What—are you going to pay me with?" she asked.

Damn it.

I didn't expect this!

I can't possibly say I will pay with my soul too…

"C-Can we talk about that later?! This is an emergency!" I yelled.

The box remained quiet.

"G-gaahh! I will pay with my soul if I could! But I can't because I still need it!" I yelled.

Then I could hear the voice from box chuckle,

"If that's the case…then I will let you owe me…" she said.

"Huh?!"

And just right before I could understand was what happening, I returned back into the time before I approached that guard. This time though… the box that I carried felt so light. It's like it's already empty.

Anyway… this is good thing. I should try to approach that guard again…

This time, I have to pretend to be….

Uh…

What?

A kid?

Maybe that will work….

I playfully run into the guard,

"Guard-san!" I said playfully.

The guard glanced at me,

"Is Maki-chan here? I want to play!" I said as I made up a childish voice.

This is disgusting.

I hope no one will remember this.

The guard sighed. Then he signaled something before a few other guards approached us. They are looking at me so intensely.

I wonder if I managed to trick them this time…


Then after a few examination…

They finally allowed me to go in.

Though they are still accompanying me to walk in through the tall gate— then through another tall gate…

Wow… two tall gates? Seriously? Is this a home or a fortress? Even my home doesn't look like this! It's a lot more open.

I was lead to pass through another gate again after a while… this time it's a tall bush that also works like a gate…

Man….

Doesn't she have a problem going out like this? It's so complicated.

Then after a little more walk—I was faced with a big iron door… well…looks like it will be locked so tightly at night, looking at those big padlock on the ground next to it I mean.

Just what kind of treasure does this family have to do something like this?

Anyway, so the guard guided me inside the iron door.

Now I really doubt that I can get out from here easily if I somehow manage to cause any trouble. That iron door looks somewhat heavy and I really doubt I can open it on my own.

Come to think of it.

How did the guard open that iron door? I didn't even see him touch the door!

Geez…I should've paid more attention to that.

I hope Maki can get me outta here later…if I ever find her.

This house looks so grand. I can't believe I'm able to see something like this in my life. The other thing is… this house is somewhat really unique; the decorations are so much more different than my place. It's like I'm living in a different side of the world.

I guess Maki is really not a local, eh?

Did she come from across the sea?

I wonder how it looks like…

Anyhow…I started to shout to look for her,

"Ooooiii! Makiiiii!"

I can hear my voice echoing.

Wow… is there no body here?

"Makiiiiiiii! Niko here!" I shouted again.

Still no response.

But I can hear my voice echo.

Heh… This is interesting somehow…

Let's try this…

"Niko-Niko-Niiiiiiiiiii!"

Then it echoes again.

I want to try again!

"Niko-Niko-Niiiiiiiii!"

And again!

And again!

And again!

And Again!

And….

"Niko-Niko—…"

"Shut the hell up!" Someone yelled.

I turned my sight to this someone…

It's Maki!

Haha, she looks a little messy. Did she just wake up?

"Get up, you lazy ass…" I said.

"I have been awake, thank you…" she sighed,

"Then…what's with that mess on you, huh?" I asked.

"That's…." She blushed.

Huh?

What's with that…

I know she has a cute face when she blushes…

But…

What's with that?

"Kyaaaahhh! I can't do it!" a high pitched voice that I have never heard before yelled out.

"Urgh…." Maki put her palm on her face.

Then suddenly an ash-brown haired woman with strange a hairstyle ran out—she held a measurement ribbon in her hands…

What's happening here?

"I'm sorry! Maki-chan! I can't!" the woman said.

"Kotori...she really needs to wear something!" Maki said.

"I can't….. I just can't stop looking at it! It was so long, huge, and…. Ahhhh! I don't know anymore!" the woman screamed in frustration,

"Oi-oi…what's happening?" I asked.

"N-Niko….this is..uh..related to the Wish maker that I made yesterday…." She blushed,

"Huh? Yeah? You made him… right?" I asked.

"H-Him?" Maki raised her eyebrow.

Oh-damn… I said it.

Urghh….rewind-rewind-rewind!

Uuh….

It doesn't work damn it.

"So it was your doing after all! You tricked me!" Maki pointed her fingers at me.

"Huh? No! You were just asking if my box were real or not, you didn't ask about the gender!" I said.

"Aahhh! Either way! It's still something that I cannot do…" the woman with strange hairstyle said again.

"Urgh…at least I could've made her use papa's clothes if I made a male, but… now I can't because she has a different size than anyone in this house…and I can't possibly ask anyone to measure her… I don't think I want anyone to see her naked anyway!"

"Hey—what the heck are you talking about?" I asked.

The two were looking at me for a while before they sighed,

"You see…. because of you not telling me yesterday…. I messed up…" Maki said.

"Messed up with what?" I asked.

"With the Wish maker…" Maki said.

Oh…well… that's expected, honestly… but I still don't understand.

"I thought the wish maker would be female… well… I did get a female… but… there's something wrong with her…."

"D-Don't tell me…. she has…. A spear between her legs?" I asked.

"Yes…." Maki's blush was getting redder to the point where it almost matched her hair.

She took a deep breath and clenched her fist.

"You knew, right?! It's your fault!" Maki yelled at me,

"Oh-come on! You didn't ask! That was your fault!" I yelled back at her.

Then suddenly…

"H-Hey! Now!" a naked woman—with blonde hair that almost looks as beautiful as gold, ran out from the room behind Maki. She has a pair of fox ears and a fluffy fox tail too.

"Kyaaahh!" Maki and Kotori quickly hide their face.

"S-Someone! Stop her!" the blonde woman said as she covered her—….

Wow…

Just…

WOW….

What the hell…

That's a really long and big one indeed!

I was talking about both assets that she tried to cover.

She has big breasts….

But also big, long ….uh…spear….

Anyway! Suddenly I could feel something frightening coming out from the room too.

That Samurai—Sonoda Umi is holding her sword.

"Don't run again! I have to cut it so Kotori could measure your hips at ease!"

"G-Give me something to cover this instead, can't you?!" the blonde…uh…. woman…. Hmm…is it right to call her a woman? She does have a woman quality…but… no one can ignore it with that size…

I know it was my fault, but…

Still!

I didn't expect this to happen!

"U-Umi! Don't cut it!" Maki said.

"Mistress… to begin with, it is not right for her to own that as a woman…." Umi —The samurai said in all seriousness.

"N-No one asked to be born like this! Besides! I was just a cute female fox with a Tanuki girlfriend! How am I reborn like this?!" the blonde woman yelled again,

"I know… that's why I'm going to cut it down… I'll make it as small as any woman's part…" Umi once again replied with her serious face.

"No! Damn it! That's not how you can be responsible about it!" the blonde retorted again,

"Oi-Oi! Calm down now! Let me handle this…" I said loudly.

They turn their eyes towards me….

"…but tell me how did you get your Wish maker out of the box?" I asked.

"Just open the box after your first wish, she will come out…." Maki said.

"Alright…" I opened the box…

And suddenly, a flash of light blinds our eyes—then when I slowly open it….

I could see a long purple haired woman, her breasts are…so big….. she was carrying a chain and sickle with her. She also has a pair of Tanuki ears and a fluffy looking tail…. But….

SHE IS NAKED TOO!

I didn't expect this!

"Ahhh….I'm finally out of this place…." She yawned.

I believe, that time, everyone's jaw dropped…I think I dropped mine too.

This woman is just….

Wow….

She looks sexy, alright… but with that pose…

Then she started to sniff around,

"Hm..mmh…. I smell Ericchi…." she said

"N…Nozomi…..?" the blonde haired woman said as she blushed...and…

OH MY GOD.

HER THING STOOD STRAIGHT LIKE A DAMNED TOWER!

"Waaah! Ericchi!"

AND THAT PURPLE HAIRED WOMAN JUMPED TO THE BLONDE.

"W-wah…Nozomi! I Missed you!"

THEY HUGGED.

"Mmmmmmm—ah!"

THEY KISSED.

"Ericchi, where have you been?"

"I don't know, Nozomi! I just woke up like this!"

"Awww….! Poor Ericchi! You must've been lonely!"

THEY SNUGGLED, DAMN IT.

I CAN'T UNSEE THE WAY THEIR THING RUBBED AGAINST EACH OTHER.

"Oi-Oi! There are children right here!" I yelled,

They turned their eyes towards me,

"So?" They asked.

"You should hide that thing already!" I yelled again.

"Oh..right…. I forgot…" the purple haired girl said as she lift up her hips…and then grabbed the blonde's …uh…spear….

And….

GOD DAMN IT!

THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT WHEN I TOLD HER TO HIDE IT!


So…

We got to take care of that….

But…

The samurai Sonoda Umi, just fainted on the spot right after she saw my Wish maker put in the spear in..her…uh…sheath….

I solved the case by telling my Wish maker to make two of them to dress themselves. As simple as that…. The blonde put herself in a simple yet cool looking black-white-gold Hakama while the purple haired one is wearing a loose dark purple and light blue Kimono on herself. They surely know how to dress… those are a lot better detailed than mine… it fits them too.

But I'm still not quite sure what I am paying it with right now…

The two Wish makers… mine and Maki's stood next each other…

Apparently, they didn't forget each other.

They are still lovey dovey with each other…and know that they came from animals…

Sigh…

I think we still need to teach them a lot about how to act like a human.

"….Why would we need to act like humans? We're just made like this so that you can say your wish to us, right?" said my Wish maker—who also said that her name is Toujou Nozomi. Where the hell did she get her name?

"I refuse to be burdened with another thing than to fulfill your wishes… besides…I have never heard this music of yours…why would I want to take it as a payment for your wishes…" the blonde said—that's Maki's wish maker, she said her name is Ayase Eli.

Maki looked bothered with that,

"It's not even the best music in the world, right?" Eli continued again.

"Hey! You take that back, I'll show you and you will be amazed!" Maki said.

"Hn….is that music precious? I just think that you're going to be stingy… just play a random song and make a wish— and that's about it, right?" Eli said again.

"A-argh! You!" Maki frowned,

"At least she will pay you, Ericchi… this little brat says that she will pay with her soul—but she only has one soul…and now she owes me two already…." Nozomi said.

"That's cruel… humans are cruel… we refuse to act like humans…." Eli replied again.

"Yup—that would be such a waste of life to try and act like humans…" Nozomi crossed her arms

Geez! What are these animals saying?!

They're so big headed!

Uh…do they think they can be more arrogant than me?

Nope!

"Hah—you don't need to hit around the bushes, you can just tell us that you can't do what we can do… that's why human are a lot more superior than you two!" I said clearly.

Eli was starting to fire up,

"Nonsense, why wouldn't we be able to do what you can do? We have this body and we could act if we want to—we just don't have any reason to do it…" she said.

"Yup! There's no reason for us to do it, we can act all we want…" Nozomi added.

"Besides, if you come to think of it, the only one who needs to act more human are you two—because you two are the real human…." Eli said.

Urgh…how to outwit them…

"W-wait right there, two? How about Kotori? She has been here the whole time!" Maki asked.

That was a stupid question…

Anyway, the two turned their eyes to Kotori. Then she sniffed her for a while…

Judging from their expression…

They seem to have an idea about that.

"Well… she is certainly a human…." Nozomi said.

"I smell a scent of crow…" Eli said.

Crow….?

"C-Crow?!" Nozomi seems to be very surprised, and then she began to sniff her.

"Could you be…. Yatagarasu?!" Nozomi frowned at her.

"H-Huh?! No..No way am I that… I'm just the regular type…"

Then that means…

Kotori is really a crow?

The heck is this?

Does that mean she is someone's Wish maker too?

God-damn…

maybe she was that samurai's Wishmaker.

I thought Umi was the one that is not the human being?

Wait…

Maybe she is asking for power from her!

Then maybe I can do the same!

I should ask that later…

But..uh…anyhow…

"So...you are someone's Wishmaker, are you Umi's?" I asked.

"H-Huh?! N-No! I'm a human being! I'm not a Wishmaker!" Kotori replied nervously.

Strange.

Then who smells like a crow?

"Though…you might have the other one right…" Kotori said.

"Huh? You are Umi's?"

"N-No-Not that way! Just friends! Yeah!" She said nervously.

"I don't get it…." Maki said

"I have heard that from you for more than ten times now, do you like saying that...?" I said.

"Huh? But I really don't get it! Why are you even talking like that? You just met me a while ago!" she said.

"..Isn't that just strengthening the point of you saying 'I don't get it' more than a normal person!?" I yelled.

"I don't get it!" she yelled back.

"See?! You said it again!"

"W-what do you want me to say huh?!" she yelled at me.

"Say something else, damn it!" I yelled at her,

"Then tell me what you want me to say! Not just yell at me like that!" she yelled back.

"Just anything except that!" I yelled back again.

"I don't get it!" she yelled.

"Again?! Seriously? Are you an idiot?!"

"Who are you calling an idiot, huh?!"

Then before I could reply, we both could hear someone coughing.

"Anyway…uh…you two, do you wonder where the two have gone off to?" Kotori asked.

"Huh? The two?" we tried to think for a while…

What does she mean by—

Wait!

Where are those stupid unhelpful Wishmakers?!

We tried to look around—until we found two tails wagging behind the corner of a wall,

"Nozomi…. I'm sorry…. I have grown something that you might not favor…." Eli said so gently—that's almost sounded like a gentleman…

She KNOWS how to act like a human after all.

"I know…. that's fine, Ericchi…. when I tried it before…it felt good…. Even though I might prefer your tentative fingers over it… or your delicate tongue that I love most…"

Huh? They had it with fingers? I can't imagine Tanuki and Fox playing with fingers? Do they even know how?

Very Suspicious!

"Ah—I'm glad you like it….Nozomi…. do you want to see my brilliant skill of using it?"

"Mmmh….I don't mind… after all, it's yours… I will always want it…" Nozomi replied—somewhat with a flirtatious voice.

"Well then…." Eli sneaks her hand through her Hakama…

"You should polish my spear with—…"

"DAMN IT!" I throw a nearby table at them before they could do what they're planning. They dodged it so smoothly.

"GO AWAY, YOU TWO!" I yelled.

"As your wish!" they said together before they turn themselves around,

Huh?

Wait!

That's not exactly what it meant!

Before I could state that, Nozomi turned around at me,

"You owe me three souls by the way…" she said before she began to run away with Eli.

WHAT THE HECK?!

WHY DO I OWE HER FOR THAT KIND OF WISH?!

AND THEY ESCAPED!

"Hey! Come back! Damn it!" I yelled to them before I ran to catch up with them.


K. lol that's it.

See you next chapter again!
