“Of course I don’t–!”
Geez–he’d really intentionally gone out of his way to try to avoid being bitten, too, and he’d still managed to piss her off! Even as she got closer, Mitsuba was too terrified of her latching onto him again if he did anything else she didn’t like, so he didn’t dare take any steps back. He just – stood there, staring down at her, trying to look a lot less nervous than he felt.
Without… much success.
Why’d it have to be the freaky fox with a biting problem!? Why did bad things keep happening to the cutest people!?
“… um…”
“… o…onee-san.”
He’d really, really like to keep his fingers! What kind of project was she making, anyway, that needed fingers!? She really was crazy! How’d she even become a Mystery in the first place? Did they really let just any–well, hold on…
Mitsuba fidgeted uncomfortably.
“P – please don’t take my finger.”
How obedient.
Or not, he was merely afraid of her and she enjoyed it.
Nobody should mess with the Misaki stairs or take their guardian as a mere small creature without an ounce of authority. Maybe Hanako was able to keep her down but everyone outside him didn’t deserve an ounce of consideration. Specially the new boy. If she managed to establish herself as superior then all would go smoothly for both parties.
‘Tremble, little boy. Tremble more.’
“Taking a finger would be far too nice of me, wouldn’t it? No, I’d take out your whole hand because a finger by itself is fairly useless.” How do humans held things then? She assumed all fingers were vital. The whole appendage was important. He was protecting it for a reason, right? Then a hand was very necessary to make a body!
What a wonderful learning experience, her mood improved almost immediately at the thought and it showed with her perked up ears.
“Good, good. You pass, introduce yourself now.”
