Medicine had left another apology note next to the table. Her attempt to grab both Shanghai and Hourai caused her to knock over several books and items and break a chair. The mess was very big and she had no clue how to clean up the mess or fix the chair. Still, she managed to get Shanghai whom she held tightly in her arms.
After she finished writing the note. Medicine let out a yawn. She was tired from her recent adventure and the combined warmth of Shanghai and heating magic from the interior of the house made her feel sleepy. Thanks to her recent explorations, she knew exactly where to go and went upstairs to the combined bedrooms.
Upon seeing the tsukumogami enter the combined guest bedroom, Hourai tried looking for a weapon to defend herself and a place to hide. Unfortunately, there weren't any weapons that were usable for someone of her stature and the only hiding place was none other than the beds. Whether it was by instinct or preference, Hourai chose to hide under Alice's blankets while Medicine tried each bed.
"Too hard and uncomfortable."
Medicine took Shanghai with her as she got out of the first bed, meant for Marisa. She then went into the second bed which was meant for Patchouli and Koakuma. Just as she put one foot onto the bed, she felt her whole body sink to the bottom of the mattress.
"It's too squishy. It almost feels like the bed's eating me."
Hourai knew this was it. There was nowhere left to go and now, the little doll youkai was about to discover her. The blankets were removed, exposing the tiny doll to the tsukumogami.
"Ahh! Another doll!"
Medicine grabbed Hourai from the bed and began squealing and cuddling her the same way she did when she cuddled Shanghai. This time, Shanghai was there with her so the tsukumogami's grip wasn't as tight as it was when she first cuddled Shanghai. Still, both of them were still unable to break free from her grip and ended up complying with the doll youkai's actions.
After she finished cuddling Hourai, Medicine crawled into Alice's bed.
"Just right."
The little doll youkai fell asleep while still clutching both Shanghai and Hourai in her arms. Both dolls did their best to break free but to no avail. There weren't any tools for them to use and their last resort weapon could only be activated by Alice. In the end, the duo gave up and joined the tsukumogami in her sleep.
