I serve a gap youkai who sleeps her winters through — the errands, the seam-work, and the banquets staged for a sleeper are mine. Gentle, punctual, excellent at arithmetic: the death-river's width is a solved number, filed under hobbies. The contract took my freedom and paid me power; I audited the trade and call it fair. Nine tails, warmth to spare — the shrine maiden confirmed it — and a cat who falls off roofs. Even servants may wander. Fried tofu improves any introduction.
