"Aba oojii."
The small old man dressed as a Komuso materialized on Kaneguma's shoulder, babbling something at him.
But having cooperated for so long, Kaneguma understood the scout's meaning.
"You're saying, she's the Tanuki Princess?"
"Aba!"
There could be no mistake.
The small old man had seen what the fake Fukuhime looked like at the Imperial Tanuki Palace.
And while this one had a slightly different aura from the "fake Fukuhime," she was exactly the same in every other way.
She must be the real Tanuki Princess.
Kaneguma stopped in his tracks, turning back to assess Fukuhime.
Fukuhime quickly introduced herself: "Um, my name is A-Fu, and I'm the daughter of Matsuyama's Eight Hundred and Eight Tanukis."
But after she finished speaking, there was no response from Kaneguma.
Because at this moment, Kaneguma was calculating —
If he had accidentally rescued the real Tanuki Princess, then he ought to earn more contribution points for this mission, right?
"Aba."
