It's nighttime over Ukiyoe Town. Karasu Tengu and the Sanba Garasu were patrolling the skies, while Mezumaru, Gozumaru, Kappa, and Kubinashi had walked out of the Nura House. Kokushibo, Aotabo, Kurotabo, and Akaza were patrolling Ukiyoe Town First District. Finding nothing suspicious, they walk down the alley to the Bakenekoya restaurant.
Akaza: When do you believe (YN)-sama and Yuki Onna will get married?
Kokushibo: Why are you talking about this now? We're on patrol.
Akaza: Look, the trouble stirred up by these Shikoku shitheads has been stressful for all of us. The least I can do is keep our minds occupied with something else, just for a little bit.
The other three assault officers share a glance with each other.
Kokushibo: My guess.... the night when he confessed his feelings to her. It's been a little over year since that happened.
Akaza: I'm guessing one of their birthdays. Makes for a great birthday present. What's your guess, Kurotabo?
Kurotabo: I do not believe they should rush their relationship. They do love each other dearly, so they should enjoy it as it is.
Aotabo: Why do you want them to get married, anyway?
Akaza: It just gives me more reasons to tease them.
Kokushibo: (YN)-sama will have had enough of that one day.
Akaza: I know. But for now, I'm gonna keep it up while I can, except when he's not in the mood for it.
Kokushibo: And what of Yuki Onna?
Akaza: She doesn't mind it, at all. She sees it as harmless fun and another way to see (YN)-sama embarrassed.
The four enter the enter to Ryota Neko walking over to them.
Akaza: Yo, Ryota Neko.
Ryota Neko: Welcome! Thanks for patrolling our streets.
Aotabo: Anything out of the ordinary?
Ryota Neko: Nope, nothing. Thank goodness.
He smiles as he and the assault officers looked towards the chatter-filled restaurant.
Kokushibo: Everything seems fine, just as lively and busy as usual.
However, he sees a notice a waitress with very long black hair, almost bone-white skin and wearing a light-colored kimono catering a couple of yokai.

Kagibari Onna: Enjoy your time.
She gives a polite bow as she walks away, passing Ryota Neko and the four officers.
Akaza: I never seen you around here before. Are you new?
Kagibari Onna: Yes, I started working here yesterday. Very nice to meet you.
