Based on my instinct developed from years of Mahjong, this must have been done by someone who had contact with Ichihime. The first suspect that came to my mind was the rabbit who just arrived at One Han City, Kaguyahime. For some reason, she and Ichihime really couldn't get along. They almost always started to quarrel whenever they saw each other. If this incident was meant to be a prank, she could be the one behind it. Kaguyahime's Home I took Ichihime to Kaguyahime's home. She seemed to have just woken up and was still yawning while dragging a large hugging pillow. [player]Good afternoon, Kaguyahime. Kaguyahime [Kaguyahime]Gya—! W-why are you here?! And you even brought this dwarf along! [player]But you two have the same height! [Ichihime]Hah? Stupid rabbit, are you trying to start a fight again? I had to stop them before it turned into another fight. [player]Easy, easy. Kaguyahime, we came here for something very urgent. [Kaguyahime]Hmph! State your business then. I opened the website on my phone and handed it to Kaguyahime. [player]Recently, we found this malicious website posting rumors about Ichihime. I'd like to know if you have anything to do with it. [Kaguyahime]Hah? Why would a great deity like me need such filthy method to deal with that dwarf? You are humiliating me. [player]But I have thought about all possibilities and you are the only one who doesn't get along with Ichihime. Who else can it be if it's not you? [Kaguyahime]Hmph! Despite your rudeness, I can still teach you a method. I am such a kind goddess. [player]What method? [Kaguyahime]Whoever made this website must know Miss Dwarf in person, so he or she would never expect to see a real cat monster, uhehe! I immediately understood Kaguyahime's plan. She sure was good at pranks. Over the next few days, many blurry photos suddenly appeared on the internet, claiming that they had witnessed the cat monster in the central park. It was a beautiful afternoon and I got a call from Kaguyahime. She asked me and Ichihime to go to the central park. Central Park When we came to the central park, Kaguyahime was sitting on a bench touching her own ears. A young man stood next to her, looking at the ground. There were many people around them. Kaguyahime stood up and waved when she saw us. [Kaguyahime]Well, now that the victim has arrived, you can explain what you have done. Hurry up. Kaguyahime looked to the young man. He raised his head and looked at me and Ichihime, then hesitated a while before he finally spoke. [Man]Sorry, the website was made by me. [Ichihime]Nyaa?! [Man]I didn't mean to harm you on purpose. I saw your cat ears and tail in Mahjong Soul Shrine the other day, and they reminded me of the cat monster legends I heard when I was a kid. So I made this website as a joke. I never thought that... [Kaguyahime]That you actually summoned the cat monster? Uhehe. [Man]Y-yeah. I thought my joke would be forgotten after a few days, but I never thought that... a cat monster really showed up in the central park. I... [player]There is no cat monster. [Man]What? [player]It was just a plan to lure you out. The photos were purposely blurred. This was the actual thing. I took a scarecrow that had the shape of a cat monster from the bush nearby and handed it to the crowd. [Man]So are you saying this is all fake and there is no cat monster? [player]Right. The cat monster never existed in the first place. Both your website and our photos were fake. [Man]That's good... awesome... I was so worried. It's really good that the cat monster doesn't exist. [player]Well then, don't you have something to say? The man thought for a while and bowed to the crowd, and to Ichihime separately. [Man]Sorry, everyone. The cat monster wasn't real, it was just a prank that I made. I never thought it would cause you so much trouble, please forgive me. I heard someone clapping immediately after he spoke. To my surprise, it was Ichihime. [player]Ichihime, don't you hate him? [Ichihime]I was a bit annoyed in the beginning, but knowing the cat monster isn't real, Ichihime feels much better. As a priestess, Ichihime's duty is to protect everybody, nyaa! [Kaguyahime]Tsk! Surprisingly, Kaguyahime didn't argue with Ichihime. Instead, she walked to the young man and patted his shoulder. [Kaguyahime]Do you know why you failed? [Man]W-why? [Kaguyahime]Uhehe! Of course it's because you are still an amateur. But I see great potential in you. Let me teach you how to do great pranks, uhehe! Kaguyahime grabbed the young man and left. Seeing them walk away, I already started to worry about One Han City's future. [Ichihime]Master. [player]Hmm? [Ichihime]Don't worry-nyaa, master! As long as Ichihime is around, Ichihime will protect master and the One Han City that you love, nyaa! Ichihime's promise dispelled my worries like sunshine. With her around, I'm sure everything will be all right.
