complaints and frustrations don't last long.
That's because just after that, memories from before I lost consciousness overflowed from my mind all at once…

 

 ”That's right, Iruka and the others…? Ugh!!?”

 

 I groaned in pain, while quickly sitting up and collapsing again.
I realized that my entire body ached, probably due to the after-effects of becoming a youkai.
But it wasn't just the muscle pain, as my muscles themselves felt stiff.

 

 ”It hurts…!? D*mn it, how long was I unconscious for? Where am I?”

 

 As I grimaced and muttered these words, my attention was finally drawn to the surrounding scenery, leaving me feeling perplexed.

 

 I was lying on a cushion on the tatami mat.
As I looked around, I first noticed the sliding doors made of paper, then the various furnishings such as a folding screen, an oil-free lampstand, a traditional comb chest, a mirror stand, a two-level shelf, and an empty bookstand.

 

 ”P-Princess…? No, this is….” stuttered and confused, I muttered.

 

 For an instant, I thought I was in Gorilla-sama's room, but soon noticed that the patterns on the folding screens and the furnishings were different from her.
Upon closer examination of the furnishings' decorations, I realized they were quite plain.
So I abandon the conjecture that this was Gorilla-sama's room.
But then…

 

 ”Huh…?”

 

 As my gaze shifted, I noticed a shadow in the distance.
Behind the portable folding screen which divided the room, I could see the silhouette of a person.

 

 It was a slender figure with not much flesh on its bones, but with long hair, clearly a female.
She was probably in the process of changing her clothes, and she stopped moving in response to the sound of my groaning.
There followed a brief silence, and the next moment, the woman peered out from behind the folding screen.
She was a woman with glossy black hair and ruby-like eyes.

 

 ”Princess Hina…?”

 


 Onitsuki Hina, the eldest princess of the Onitsuki family, peeked her head out from behind the portable folding screen and stared at me.
Then she spoke.

 

 ”You woke up at just the right time.
You've been bedridden for seven days, so I was wondering how to wake you up.”

 

 She said this matter-of-factly.
I was taken aback by her attitude, but immediately tried to raise my voice in response to the various questions that arose…
and quickly lowered my head.

 

 Naturally, what I did was natural.
It was simply a matter of rudeness, but more than that, she also approached me from behind the portable folding screen.
Additionally, she was dressed only with her upper half of her body wrapped in a kimono.

 

 ”That's enough of that.
Raise your face.”

 

 ”No, but…”

 

 ”Look me in the eye.”

 

 I couldn't help but flinch as Hina stopped in front of me and brazenly grabbed my chin to make me meet her gaze.

 

 ”…!”

 

 Up close, Hina's appearance was dignified and beautiful enough to pass as that of a pretty man, but the whiteness of her exposed skin and the slight bulge that can be seen under her sweet wisp of hair make me realize that the person in front of me is indeed a woman.
My eyes drifted downward to her small cleavage, but I quickly averted them.

 

 ”Princess Hina, it's not appropriate to come here dressed like that…”

 

 ”Hmm?”


 

 I offer fearfully.
Hina's eyes widened for a moment, then she looked at herself and chuckled softly before speaking to me.

 

 ”You're in no position to say that, are you? Don't you realize how you look right now?”

 

 ”Yes?”

 

 Her words make me pause for a moment, and then I turn my gaze to my body.
Then I realize that I am literally naked, completely naked.

 

 I didn't even put on underwear.

 

 ”Uh, this is rude of me…!?”

 

 I quickly pulled the blankets over my lower body.
It was only after doing so that I realized the sheets were not mine, but rather someone else's belongings.
I felt flustered and embarrassed.

 

 ”Hmm, No need to panic.
…We used to take baths together all the time.”

 

 ”Huh…?”

 

 I'm taken aback by Hina's words, which she spins with a loose-lipped smile.
She didn't care about my reaction and continued speaking.

 

 ”Your clothes are there.
You can change later.”

 

 Still dumbfounded, I followed Hina's gaze to a corner of the room where a black outfit and a Hannya mask were neatly folded.
