“Why do we have to do this, Momo-chan??” The average blond man sighed.

Beside him walked a bigger man with thick wavy hair, “We need the firewood to make fire. You don't want to die freezing, right, Houmei?”

“But why us???” Houmei sighed even louder before looking back, “...and where's Gen-san?”

Toudai also turned his body around. They found Genkai, the small braided youkai, crouching not far behind. “I sense something from this direction,” he said without turning around.

They all went into the woods and found a wounded deer. There was an arrow stuck on his back.

“Oh, is it alright?” Houmei frowned at the sight.

Toudai dropped the firewood he had gathered and quickly pulled the arrow out.

Genkai squatted near the deer and patted its neck, “She'll be alright… and she'll give birth soon.”

Hearing the prognosis, Houmei brightened up. He took the cloth he used to gather firewood to Goudai to patch the deer up.

After the deer was able to stand up and walk, the three monks bid goodbye and they went back to the direction of the temple.

“I hope the deer will be well soon,” Houmei skipped along the way back.

“She will,” Toudai smiled.

Houmei smiled bigger, “What a wonderful day it is today!”

“Toudai, Ho-san, wait!”

Hearing their names called, both monks halted.

“Where are your firewoods?”

Houmei and Toudai looked at each other and blinked.

“NOOOOO!!!”
