I have been told by Hake-sama to look after Keita-sama.
I'm an inukami, Nadeshiko.
I may be inexperienced, but please be kind to me.
She's great.
Not good at all!
Hake! What's the deal here?!
Depending on your answer, I may burn you this instant and attack the main house of Kawahira immediately!
Please calm down, Youko.
I want you to become a more inukami-like inukami.
For that reason, I sent Nadeshiko to be your role model.
Please learn to behave more gracefully.
I don't need that sort of thing!
I don't need it, so hurry up and take back that unwilling widow!
But from what I hear, Nadeshiko was also previously interested in Keita-sama or, something of the sort...
If that's the case, I believe she's the best candidate for this job.
But that's different from what was promised!
Youko.
I know what's been going on.
Using his living expenses to buy yourself clothes.
Who is it that cleans, does laundry, and prepares dinner everyday?
Keita.
He's a kind person, isn't he?
So you have no objections, right?
But, but...!
I don't want Nadeshiko there!
Nadeshiko will stay for a week.
Learn in a laudable manner and surprise Keita-sama after Nadeshiko leaves.
This is our chance.
Nadeshiko, the one who refuses to fight and won't cooperate with anyone.
Let's have her stay with Kawahira Keita from now on.
Yeah, yeah! That's a good idea!
With the nine of us, cooking and cleaning will be a piece of cake.
First off, she's been pampered by Kaoru-sama way too much lately!
Well then, Tayune, Tomohane.
I'll leave the surveillance of Nadeshiko to you two.
Roger that.
I'm home.
I am grateful to my dream!
What are you doing so quickly?!
Nadeshiko. Of all people, I didn't think you'd be the one to come here.
Youko-san. Are you umm... not satisfied with me?
Of course not!
Speaking of which, you two knew each other?
Yes, we inukami do live together on a small mountain after all.
Anyway, I won't accept this.
I won't accept this, and that's final.
In the mean time, let's get to know each other.
What're your measurements from top to bottom?
What are you trying to ask in this confusion?!
W-Well, I don't know... since I've never measured them.
And you! Don't seriously answer it!
What a coincidence? I've never measured mine either.
Well, let's measure each other's.
Keita...
Nadeshiko-chan!
Shukuchi!
Ah! No!
Don't! Not there! That's my--
Youko-san, I'm sorry.
One week until Nadeshiko leaves.
As I thought, I can't wait that long.
I mean, yeah, Keita's nice once in a while...
But, but... if he's alone with Nadeshiko under one roof...
Nade-Nadeshiko-san...!
No way!
Absolutely not!
I have to chase Nadeshiko away as soon as possible, no matter what.
My goodness! I can't believe you can't cook or clean properly!
I'm surprised you can call yourself a wife in the Hashimoto family!
T-This is it!
Excuse me, Nadeshiko-san.
Y-Yes?
Don't "yes" me.
Jeez, young people these days.
Where are they looking when they clean?
Look at all this...
It's clean...
A-All this...
What are you doing?
Y-You keep quiet!
Nadeshiko-san? In the Kawahira family, we are strict when sorting out the garbage, and...
Well, I've taken the time to separate them already.
P-Perfect...
Thank you for the meal!
Na-Nadeshiko-san.
Is it not to your liking?
No, it's delicious.
I win! I win!
U-Umm... Is something the matter?
You still don't wear a bra?
I see, I see.
I'll admit, you're perfect when it comes to cooking and cleaning,
but being a woman is all about the breasts, boobs, tits!
Ah, Youko-san, please stop!
Come on now. Quit hiding them and just show them to me.
Your tiny little boobs...
Y-You're a fraud...
Huh?
You're the type that looks more slender in clothing, aren't you?
Is that so? This is the first time I've been told that.
Let me see your tail.
Wait a second, Y-Youko-san.
It's really skinny.
Seriously, why did it have to be you of all people?
If it were anyone else, I would've been completely victorious.
I-I'm sorry.
But when Hake-sama came to me with this offer, I was really happy.
When Keita-sama first came to the mountain, he ran around the entire night and...
Two days off from work a week, plus bonus pay!
I'll create a positive work environment free of depressing conditions.
By the way, the wage is negotiable.
Come hither!
I'm looking for a cute and determined inukami-chan!
Until then, everyone who came to look seemed worried about their fate with an inukami,
but Keita-sama was completely different.
His attitude was so refreshing and funny.
Hey you! Stop that! That's dangerous!
No, I'll do it! I must go do it!
I wonder what that was...
I wonder too...
But your opinion is correct.
Huh?
Keita's perverted, irresponsible, and I don't quite get him, but he's a really funny guy.
But to think that the unwilling Nadeshiko made a contract with Keita's cousin.
Yes, I'm very thankful that I was able to tie my destiny to such a wonderful person.
So he's not an ordinary person, huh?
I guess you could say that.
That's why there are ten inukami with him, including me.
And ten of those, huh?
But it must be hard with ten girls together.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
You look great even after a bath!
Keita! Stay away from her!
Hey, hey! Wait for me!
Hey! Keita!
Well then, surveillance team, please report.
She seems to like him a lot. That Kawahira Keita.
Yeah, she seemed really happy!
Huh? What's the meaning of this?
I can't believe it.
Nadeshiko-chan really is strange to like someone like that.
Definitely... strange.
If Nadeshiko continues to stay with Kawahira Keita, our goal will be achieved.
But there's one person who stands in our way.
Youko.
Youko's been trying her best to keep any other inukami away from Kawahira Keita.
If this continues, Nadeshiko will come back here after one week, as initially planned.
Well then, what shall we do about this?
If that's the case, we can just get rid of Youko!
What?
Huh?
Huh? What's wrong?
Yeah, Tomohane's right.
It's true that Youko's a strong opponent.
And before, I believed we wouldn't have stood a chance against her.
But now we have rengoku.
It'd be a different story if we fought one on one, but we can't lose with the nine of us together.
Yeah.
I understand. We will eliminate Youko.
I'm off to fight Sendan and the others.
No need to inform Keita about this.
From Youko.
T-This is bad. Youko-san...
Keita-sama!
Huh? What's wrong?
Let me get this straight. In other words, you're telling me to let Nadeshiko stay with Keita for good?
Yes, and for this to happen, you're in the way.
What's so funny?
Well, it's just so funny that the inukami that are famous for obliterating evil and proliferating righteousness
are relying on numbers to get rid of Nadeshiko.
I don't mind fighting like this at all.
The one that I'm seriously scared of is Nadeshiko anyway.
It doesn't matter if there are nine or even a hundred of you half-assed inukami.
You don't scare me at all.
I don't want to be lectured by someone who's contracted to a piece of trash like Kawahira Keita.
That's right! You're the one with a master who's a pervert and a loser.
You're more half-assed than we are.
That piece of trash, he's not even worth getting angry about.
He only sees the sacred work of the inukami as a part-time job.
He's an extremely boring person.
You guys too, huh?
I'll tell you all this.
I won't back down once I take on a fight.
If you continue to insult Keita, I'll bite you all to death.
Well, I guess we have no choice then.
Haja Soukou - Hatsuro x 9: Kurenai!
So you see, because of me, Youko-san is...!
Youko and your friends are just going to have a fight, right?
I don't think you're the cause of it, but she does like violence.
Dragons are on a 30 game winning streak, huh?
U-Umm... Keita-sama?
What is it?
Aren't you going to save her?
Who?
Youko-san!
Why?
Youko-san is your inukami, isn't she?!
Well... it said on the note there was no need to inform me, right?
And not "come help" or anything.
That's correct, but what does that have to do with it?
Then I don't think I have to go.
I'm disappointed in you!
Hey, listen for a second, will you? She's just...
Dragons are on a 30 game winning streak, huh?
Cease fire.
Did she die?
I doubt it.
Jaen!
Haja Kekkai - Nishiki: Shikokuchuu.
I see, not bad at all.
However...
Huh? Me...?
There. One dead for sure.
Cute panties you have there.
Tomohane!
Jaen.
Jaen!
Dai Jaen!
Yo-Youko...!
Everyone, from here on we're fighting to kill Youko!
I see. You were probably protected by that person, Kaoru, this whole time.
You were pampered so much that you don't know who's stronger.
You don't even know when not to pick a fight.
Although you're all beasts.
I'm really glad Keita's not here.
Youko-san, please wait for me.
Did you come to watch as well?
Hake-sama!
It will be over soon.
See.
Youko-san...
Hake-sama, please stop them quickly!
There's no need to worry about Youko.
This will be a complete victory for Youko.
Jaen!
Sendan and the others are able to wield enormous power when all ten are fighting together.
But as for Youko, she doesn't need any other inukami.
She has that kind of power all by herself.
That is Youko.
Everyone!
Y-Youko...
Oh, you still want more?
I won't forgive you...
Sendan, please don't move!
Nadeshiko, she took it easy on us when we went at her with an intent to kill.
There's no way I can forgive her!
I didn't take it too easy on you.
The strength difference wasn't as great as you think it was anyway.
Shut up!
Sendan!
You want to die that badly, huh?
Then maybe I should really finish you off.
Youko-san, the victor has already been decided.
If you wish to continue, I, Nadeshiko, will be your opponent!
Nadeshiko... You...
Oh, how scary.
I know who's really stronger.
Because I'm a beast.
Listen up, you stupid dogs.
The angry Nadeshiko scares me, so I won't kill you.
Nadeshiko can do something by herself that you all can't do as a group.
Don't ever forget that.
Hake, I'm scared of Nadeshiko, so I'll run away now.
I'll leave the rest to you.
Hake-sama... Youko-san...
Could it be that...
Please don't push yourself too hard...
Youko, I've made you play such a hated role.
Not really. I only did it for myself anyway. Not to mention...
And?
The old me would've killed them right away.
But during the match, I kept thinking, "What would Keita do?",
and fighting them suddenly felt stupid.
I see.
By the way, are you the one who concocted this whole thing?
Huh?
You know, this elaborate plan of bringing Nadeshiko to my place to make me learn from her,
and at the same time, teaching the uncomprehending Sendan and the others how to fight,
and to top it all off, having them make up with Nadeshiko.
Of course not. I'm not a psychic.
Although I did hope it would turn out this way.
I see.
Well, I'll be returning to Keita's now.
Perhaps, Keita-sama had faith as well... in you.
The Dragons are on a 30 game winning streak, huh?
What's up? You're looking pretty sharp.
Hey Keita, did you know that I went out to fight today?
Is that so? I didn't know at all.
So, did you win?
Yeah, I won.
Oh, that's good to hear.
You're going to play innocent like that again?
I only did as I was told.
How much of this did you plan?
Nadeshiko, tea's ready!
Oh, all right.
Hurry up! Everyone's waiting!
Yes, thank you, Tomohane.
Thanks to this incident, I'm being treated well by the others.
Yes, I'm very happy.
Yes, I'll be by your side forever...
Kaoru-sama.
In the ancient Olympics, all the sports were played in the nude.
Shot put, long jump, and even wrestling.
This is a well-known fact.
Speaking of being nude, how much skin exposure will the main character, Kawahira Keita, record?
We are starting to hope for a new world record.
Next time on Inukami!
Keita And Youko!
Oh, by the way, when I sleep, I'm naked as well.
