"What do you think? Would they be the sort to go on forever?"
Coming to a stop, Natsumi blinked and then turned around. "Say what now?"
Only raising an eyebrow, Shiromizu gestured at herself. "My legs? Would they be the long sort that get described as going on forever? Would they be muscular? Or would they be slender?"
For several moments, the kitsune stared at her before becoming rather elequent. "What."
Rolling her eyes, Shiromizu sighed and placed her hands on her hips. "You said that you cast an illusion which gave me legs, right? What sort of legs? Because that is honestly bothering me."
In reply, Natsumi put her face in her hands. "You're bothering me about that, seriously? Who cares!"
Shiromizu huffed a bit and crossed her arms against her chest. "As a matter of fact? I care."
With a suffering sigh, the brown haired girl pinched her nose. "What does it even matter, you don't got legs to begin with."
Frowning, the snake woman shook a finger at her. "Hey now, that's no fair. Just because I'm limb impaired does not mean that I wouldn't like to know what it's like." She then waved her hand around. "I mean, if I was to cast an illusion to make you look older and with a chest, I'm sure that you would want to know what you looked like."
Eyebrow twitching, Natsumi hissed a bit. "What was that?"
All Shiromizu did was point at her with an amused look. "I mean, sure, pettan is okay and some people do it well. Like Ryuujou-Sensei! But, well... one has to wonder in your case considering Harry and all those around him."
Slapping herself in the face, Natsumi took a few calming breaths. "Kitsune do not have big... huge... lumps of fat like they do in games and manga! We're naturally slender! I mean, look at Oba-Chan! She's nothing like those kitsune in her human form!"
Back at the base, Haru sneezed and then blinked as she rubbed her nose. "... Is someone talking about me? Because I can't help but feel insulted..." After a few moments, she shrugged it off and turned back to her game of Touken Ranbu. "Screw that, I need to grind some more for the new event... Especially if what I've heard is true!"
Meanwhile, Shiromizu hummed a bit and looked down at the fuming kitsune. "Huh... And here I was thinking that you were giving me jealous looks at times."
Just blinking, Natsumi's expression became one of utter confusion before she turned back to Shiromizu. "Wait, what? Why would I be jealous of you?"
Slowly, the snake woman raised an eyebrow and made a moved her arms under her chest. "Well, I'm only two years or so older then you, and a reptile and yet..."
It took Natsumi a moment to figure out what she meant and then pointed one finger at her partner. "Ero-Hebi!" Spinning, she growled a bit. "Anyways, enough of this... let's do our examination and get it over with!"
Frowning, Shiromizu had a small smirk on her face as she scratched her cheek. "What about my legs then?"
The only response she got was for the kitsune to throw her hands into the air. "Fuck your legs! No one cares!"
Unseen by Natsumi, Shiromizu was barely holding back laughter. "Oh my, and you call me lewd."
Stiffening, for several moments the Miko in training stood there before she let it out. "Shut up." Looking around, she raised an eyebrow as she spotted something. "Huh... The third stall is out of order." Slowly, Natsumi began to tick off on one hand. "Let's see... an elementary school, third floor girl's washroom, and third stall is out of order. Pretty much all matches."
Now frowning, Shiromizu looked around in confusion. "So... um... what next? I mean, is there anything else?"
Finger tapping her chin, Natsumi stared at the door and bent over before looked inside from beneath. "Empty. Which means..." She then gestured to the door. "Stay just outside the door, if you hear anything, come straight in."
Concerned, Shiromizu looked at her friend with her eyebrows furrowing. "You sure? I can stay right here..."
However, Natsumi shook her head. "No, I'll be fine. Just be ready to move."
Only nodding slowly, Shiromizu made her way back to the door. "If you're sure..."
It was only once she was outside that the mask on Natsumi's face slipped and was replaced by fear. Looking first in one direction and then the other, she gulped before closing her eyes and began to mutter to herself. "Calm yourself, Natsumi. You're a kitsune and a Miko! You got nothing to be afraid of. And certainly not a ghost story..." Then, slowly, she raised her closed fist to the door and held it in place as it shook. After a few seconds, she brought it down in three knocks. "Hello?"
Just outside, every muscle in Shiromizu's body was tense and she was coiled, ready to spring through the door. However, a confused Natsumi then poked her head out which made the snake woman relax, but then raise her eyebrow. "Is something wrong?"
Frowning, Natsumi gestured for her to follow. Doing so, Shiromizu only raised an eyebrow at the empty stall. "There was no one in there... But mind giving me a boost to the ceiling?"
Rather bemused, Shiromizu pointed up at the ceiling. "You want me to boost you towards the ceiling? Really?" At Natsumi's nod, the snake woman only shook her head and shrugged. "Sure, I guess."
With a huff, she grasped Natsumi around the ankles and then lifted her towards the ceiling. Bending down slightly, the kitsune removed one of the tiles and poked her head up into the small space there and blinked. "I was right..."
Looking up, Shiromizu frowned some. "Right? About what?"
Simply reaching into the space, Natsumi brought out a handheld radio which was on. "I heard someone say 'I am here' and opened the door to find no one here. But it sounded like it was coming from the ceiling above, so..."
Now sighing, Shiromizu gave her a disbelieving look. "You mean this, all of this... was someone's prank? That a bunch of students got scared because someone was pulling a prank on them?"
Her expression one of annoyance, Natsumi nodded. "Yes, and when I get my hands on them considering how scared those girls were... They'll see what an annoyed kitsune can do." It was then that Natsumi noticed the expression on Shiromizu's face. "What?"
Tilting her head to the side, Shiromizu hummed. "Pink and white striped underwear? I mean, I could understand blue and white due to the trope and everything, but... Well, they don't really suit you."
Only sputtering, Natsumi flushed deeply before grabbing her skirt closed. "Oba-Chan got them as a joke, but she forgot to do the laundry the other day! They were all that I had left and... What the heck are you even looking up my skirt for!?"
Much to her annoyance, Shiromizu only shrugged. "Kind of hard not to see them really what with you up there and everything." Then her head tilted to the side. "Though I bet that you wish that Harry was in my place, don't you?" When Natsumi didn't respond, Shiromizu grinned. "You were just imagining Harry in my position and looking up your skirt, weren't you?"
If Natsumi's face was red before, it was now well past that. "Y-you... You Ero-Hebi!"
Bringing her tail up before her mouth, Shiromizu snapped the fan that was held in it open. "Fufufuffu. But I am not the one imagining such things of innocent and pure Harry-Chan..."
All she got for that was yet more sputters and yells.

Locking the door behind her, Natsumi scratched her head with an explosive sigh. "Well, that was something of a bust. All that build up for nothing at all."
Behind her, Shiromizu grimaced as she rubbed her head. "Did you really need to kick me in the head?"
An innocent look on her face, Natsumi tilted her head to the side. "I said that I was sorry, it's just that I saw a cockroach in the crawlspace and freaked a bit." There was an expression on Shiromizu's face which told exacly what she thought of that. Ignoring that, Natsumi placed her hands behind her head and looked up at the Moon above them. "Well... I guess that it was still some experience."
Shivering a bit, Shiromizu shook her head. "If you say so. Now, I just want to get him before I freeze out here. Might not be the mountains, but it's still not the warmest." Moments later, she blinked as Natsumi tossed her the jacket that she was wearing. "Natsumi-San?"
In reply, Natsumi rolled her eyes before turning to her. "Your a friend and a partner, which means that I should make sure that you're good, right?" With a sigh, she began to shake her head. "Let's just head home and I'll make some tea. I think that I got some mochi as well."
Following along with her, and enjoying being out and about in her more human form, Shiromizu looked around the deserted school grounds. Eventually, she cleared her throat. "So... Haru-San mentioned that your Onii-San was having trouble with something?"
With a blink, Natsumi turned to her and frowned. "Taichi? Yeah... you could say that?" Scratching her chin, she hummed a bit. "He was exploring one of those old, abandoned towns with a school when he came across some tsukumogami. There was a Biwa, two Shamisen, and a Koto. Don't know how, but they somehow managed to convince him to help them play for crowds again."
Interested, Shiromizu frowned some. "How is that going then?"
Sighing, Natsumi shook her head. "Not so well." Then she grimaced a bit. "Don't get me wrong, Onii-Chan's done great work with them as their 'Manager'. Gotten a few gigs here and there since they have human forms... But nothing really noteworthy. He's trying to mix more modern music with them, and some of the older yokai like the original tunes, but... People don't pay much attention to it."
All Shiromizu did was frown at that. "That's something of a shame. My Onee-Sama can play the Biwa pretty well and I liked some of her songs. Anything that can be done?"
Much to Shiromizu's surprise, Natsumi came to a stop and then leaned foward. "Actually... once Naka-San comes back from her current mission, she's willing to meet with them when I asked her since she wants to expand away from shipgirls for music and get some groups under her label. Harder-San said she might show up as well since she's helped Naka with underwater concerts done by Submarines and stuff. And Onii-San is a pretty huge fan of Naka-San, so..."
Crossing her arms, Shiromizu smirked a bit. "Huh. Does he know about that?"
Natsumi just grinned in reply before answering. "Not at all, I can't wait to see his face as Naka-San stated she would have one of her fairies take a picture. But she already liked some of the music I forwarded her, so..."
Extremely amused, Shiromizu chuckled. "That will be hilarious. Make sure that I get a picture too, okay?" At Natsumi's nod, the two resumed their walk only for the kitsune to stop and stare at something. "Uh, what are you looking at?"
Her eyebrows furrowing, Natsumi pointed at the window. "There's lights on in the library."
For several moments, nothing was said as Shiromizu came up beside her and then narrowed her eyes. "Those radios like in the washroom, they only have a short range, right?"
Slowly, the two turned toward each other and began to grin as they also noticed one of the windows slightly ajar.
Inside the library in front of a computer, a little girl in a school uniform with a red skirt. Beside her, there was a walkie talkie as she clicked on another site. "The internet is amazing..." Glancing at the radio, she sighed a bit and smiled. "And with this, I don't need to worry about anything bigger then me coming to my stall! All the while I am safe and sound in here."
Unseen by her, behind her both Natsumi and Shiromizu rose up and silently looked down at the small yokai. Blinking, Shiromizu pointed at her at which Natsumi shrugged with a confused expression on her face. Sadly for them, it was then that Hanako noticed their reflections in the computer screen and froze. The sight of the fox ears on Natsumi's head and Shiromizu's red eyes caused her eyes to widen. Coughing, Natsumi gave her a raised eyebrow. "So..."
Before she could get much further though, a scream ripped it's way out of Hanako's mouth. "KYAAAAAAA! HIGH LEVEL YOKAI IN MY HOME!"
And then she dove under the desk and huddled in place as both Natsumi and Shiromizu stared. Eventually, Shiromizu blinked and pointed at her. "Um..."
Then Natsumi did the only thing that she could in such a situation.... Facepalm.
"What do you think? Would they be the sort to go on forever?"
Coming to a stop, Natsumi blinked and then turned around. "Say what now?"
Only raising an eyebrow, Shiromizu gestured at herself. "My legs? Would they be the long sort that get described as going on forever? Would they be muscular? Or would they be slender?"

Back at the base, Haru sneezed and then blinked as she rubbed her nose. "... Is someone talking about me? Because I can't help but feel insulted..." After a few moments, she shrugged it off and turned back to her game of Touken Ranbu. "Screw that, I need to grind some more for the new event... Especially if what I've heard is true!"

Much to Shiromizu's surprise, Natsumi came to a stop and then leaned foward. "Actually... once Naka-San comes back from her current mission, she's willing to meet with them when I asked her since she wants to expand away from shipgirls for music and get some groups under her label.
