favoring Taiki, because of the fifty-some nyosen, almost all of them adored him.
In regard to their poking fun at Youka's favoritism, it was probably a little bit of envy because Taiki and Youka were comparatively closer.
"Youka!" A crisp and clear child's voice came from far away.
All the nyosen stopped what they were doing and turned to look at where the voice had come from.
Just then, Taiki came down a path, running towards the open area.
"Hide me! Hide me!" said Taiki between breaths as he ran toward Youka and hid behind her.
"Taiki just wants to be friends with Youka!"
"That's what I was saying!"
The nyosen laughed and used the cloths they were holding to cover Taiki up. The little body that hid between the jasmine bushes and Youka was completely covered by the cloths in the blink of an eye.
The nyosen giggled. At this time, a shadow appeared on the ground. It was Sanshi coming down from the rocks. The nyosen then all pointed to the eastern path.
"He's over there, Sanshi!"
"Taiki ran that way."
"I almost knocked him over!"
Even though the nyosen tried to trick Sanshi, there was no way she wouldn't be able to find Taiki. She walked directly over to Youka and lifted up the cloth that was covering him. Taiki, who had been hiding inside with neck scrunched up, looked up at her and sighed forcefully. "You still found me."
Still panting heavily, he sat down and hugged Sanshi's foreleg. Sanshi handed the fabric and clothes back to the nyosen and rubbed his head. The nyosen laughed joyously.
"It's impossible to hide from Sanshi."
"I know," said Taiki, as his cheeks turned red. He leaned on Sanshi's foreleg and loosened the collar of his robe. Everyone stifled their laughter and watched him. They all thought that Taiki looked much cuter than any of the kirin who had stayed at Mt. Hou before--It was probably because of their favoritism.
Youka laughed as she stroked Taiki's hair. His hair had grown much longer since he first arrived, and his bangs stuck to his forehead because of his sweat. She gently lifted it aside.
Most kirin had golden hair, but to be accurate, it should be called a mane, rather than hair.
Furthermore, Taiki's mane was the color of steel. This showed that he was not like most kirin, and it caused the nyosen to feel that he was particularly dignified.
"You should go bathe for a bit. It's almost time for dinner."
The status of a kirin is much higher than that of a nyosen, but since they take care of a kirin's everyday life, they feel as if the kirin was their own child. Thus, it follows that the tone of their voice isn't overly respectful. Even the head of the nyosen, Hekika Genkun is like this, so naturally no one can blame them.
"Luckily, there is a lot of clothes here for you to change into. I'll tidy up here and then I'll come find you."
"Okay." Taiki nodded and stood up. "Sanshi, let's go."
The nyosen smiled as they watched Sanshi leave, holding on to Taiki's hand.
"It looks like the one who favors Taiki most is Sanshi!"
"That's right!"
Though they all agreed, none of them felt jealous, because Sanshi and the nyosen were not the same.
Sanshi existed solely for Taiki. Moreover, they were all in a good mood, because anyone who saw Taiki before dinner could eat with him. This was the newest unwritten rule upon Mt. Hou.
After she put away the sun-dried clothes, Youka chose a set that smelled like sun and jasmine for Taiki and walked to the river. She used a path by a waterfall that ran beside Rosen Palace, and after she turned a corner, she heard crisp and clear laughter.
In the river, Taiki was chasing Sanshi's tail around. One moment, it floated up out of the water, and the next, it sunk back down. Even when he got a hold of her tail, she would lift it up high, sending him back into the water, and then he would surface again with a splash. At this time, he noticed Youka walking towards him and waved to her.
"I've come to see you."
"Thank
