I got a Kitsune Caregiver, but...

Chapter 21: Fun and Games

Kinuko looked at the pair like they were strange. Mostly because they had indeed given her an odd sight when it came to Tenha being all tangled with a bunch of cables with him looming above her.

"I see the two of you are having some fun." She commented on the sight she had been given.

"Obviously not." Tenha snapped back, irritated and humiliated her associate had witnessed her in this position. "Now can someone please get me out of this?"

"Whoa, calm down there." He got to work quickly, but carefully. "If you break one of those cables, then it's game over for us trying to use the console." While the cost to find a replacement wouldn't be high. Since this was not a game console in high demand anymore, the time it would take to get another cable would take away the rest of the day for fun.

"A game console? What's that?" Kinuko asked.

"I thought fox spirits would know what these things were." There wasn't much for him to base that opinion on outside of Tenha's knowledge. Though one could easily make the argument that she was more closer to an outlier when it came to the kitsune.

"Don't worry about her." Tenha said after she was freed from the trap she placed herself in. "That girl's just a stick in the mud, so of course she wouldn't know about cool things like video games."

"I worry she might've been spent too much time interacting with humans during her time in the spirit world." Even if she didn't know what video games were, she certainly knew they weren't a thing when it came to the spirit world. While there were no rules against the fox spirits from interacting or spending a lot of time with humans. It was frowned upon to do so and potentially risking giving away their true identity.

"There's nothing wrong with getting away and having some fun once in a while." Tenha defended herself from the subtle jab. "And there's nothing wrong with pulling a prank every so often either."

"Huh, I see..." He took that information in and wondered if the social media postings talking about certain spooky occurrences were here doing. "Anyway are you here to just talk or do you want to join in?" Nishiki hadn't anticipated on the bigger fox girl to show up. Though when it came to gaming, the more the merrier. Even if some people that were part of the group didn't care for the form of entertainment.

"I don't see a point in me joining in your drivel." She replied. "But I am going to stick around to get a status report on how she is doing as your servant." Kiniko was as strict as ever. He was disappointed, but went about getting all the cables untangled and properly hooked up to connect the Gamestation 3 and his TV.

"We should play the game I picked out." Tenha hastily reached into the bag and messily took out all the games. After a quick scolding telling her that if she wasn't careful, she might damage the games and thus render them useless. Nishiki allowed her to insert the game disc of Hydra Adventure into the console after he booted up the console.

The game loaded up through its usual splash art and developer credits. Then the main menu opened up with majestic music and already Tenha was enamored. "Wow, I've never seen anything so beautiful."

"At least you can finally agree with me that older doesn't mean obsolete." He said, feeling affirmed that he was right. Though the game itself wasn't as big to him as someone who had played a fair number in his lifetime. He could see why someone like her would be impressed by the simple display of what had been shown in the main menu. "Let's get this game started then."

He started a new game for them. They were able to make their own character, so they went with something that somewhat resembled Tenha. There was even a choice to make her race that of a fox girl.
