This is... odd. I don't know what to do and what to expect. A "waffle waffle" type of commentary. Either a new line to pool #4875 or something absolutely fresh. No action taken just in case.

小鳥の朝を告げる鳴き声が聞こえる。

胸元には、僕に抱きついて寝息を立てている布都ちゃん。どうやら、朝を迎えたみたいだ。僕は、顔を洗って、朝食の作る事にした。僕が、食事の支度をする頃には、布都ちゃんも起きていて、昨日のように、また手伝いがしたいと申し立ててきたので、一緒に台所を共にした。布都ちゃんは一生懸命僕の手伝いをしてくれている。正直な所、まだ手伝いになっていない所はあるけど、このまま手伝いをしてくれていたら、後一週間もしない内に布都ちゃんはこの台所に馴れてしまうだろう。思えば、今まで、この台所で、黙々と適当な物を自炊していたものが、こう、布都ちゃんがいるだけで、賑やかなっているのは、とても、嬉しい気がする。布都ちゃんが、居候になって、我が家は賑やかになってる。・・・いや、昨日、布都ちゃんには、ずっと住んでいていいと言ったっけ。じゃあ、もう居候じゃなくて、布都ちゃんとは、これからずっと、こうやって、台所で一緒に料理を作ったりするんだろうなぁ・・・。これじゃあ、まるで・・・・家族か何かの様だ。昨日は、安易に了承したけど、実は大切な約束事だったなといまさらながら思う。・・・昨日から布都ちゃんが僕の手伝いをしようとしているのも、それを気にしての事なのだろうかな。・・・布都ちゃんと一緒に居るのは、悪くない。寧ろ布都ちゃんが来てくれて、毎日楽しい気がする。・・・これが、ずっと続いていくのか・・・・。・・・そう考えると、なんとなく、胸がほっこりとして、どこか顔がにやけていたのだろうか。布都ちゃんに、少し不審がられた。それから簡単な朝の調理が済み、食卓へ朝ごはんを運んで、僕らは朝食をとっていた。布都ちゃんが作ってくれた物を褒めて、布都ちゃんの言葉に相槌をして、布都ちゃんを眺めながら。そんな朝の食事を済ませていると、突然玄関を叩く音がした。どうやら、来客のようだ。誰だろう？こんな朝っぱらから訪ねてくる人は。そう思いつつ、玄関の扉を空けると、そこには、赤いチャイナ服を着て、両手を前に突き出している子とその保護者らしき青い服を着た見知らぬ女性が立っていてわっふるわっふる

Seiga getting involved? Things went from potentially bad to certainly worse.

Not to mention she also has her "hungry" friend with her.

I thought they had failed their reincarnations, based on Youmu's descriptions in the previous two pics.

Seiga never tried to die and resurrect as a shikaisen; you're thinking of Miko and Tojiko. Seiga's extended life comes from being a hermit.

Hearing birds tweeting in the morning

Futo-chan lay next to me, grappled onto my chest. It seems that the morning has come. After washing my face, I decided to make breakfast. As I set out to do so, Futo-chan woke up and said she wanted to help like she did yesterday, so we both ended up in the kitchen. She's really trying her absolute hardest to help out. To be honest, she isn't quite there yet, but I'm sure she'll know the ins and outs within the week. When I think about how I used to be alone and only cook things for me, having Futo-chan here and trying to help out makes me really happy. Futo-chan freeloading and helping... wait, I told her yesterday that it's okay for her to stay forever, so she's probably going to keep cooking meals like this. That means she's not a freeloader; she's more like family or something.

I thought about it pretty casually yesterday, but only now do I realize what a big thing this is. ...The thought of Futo-chan helping me out from now on is also on my mind. I don't mind being with her; rather, since she came, every day has been fun. Can we really go on like this forever...? As I wondered about it, a warm feeling spread throughout my chest, and there was probably a dumb-looking grin on my face. I think Futo-chan was a bit suspicious. Having prepared our simple breakfast, we carried the food to the table and began to eat. I tried the food she made and praised her for it, nodding in acknowledgement as she spoke in turn. After we had finished, there was a sudden knocking at the door. It seems we had a visitor. Wondering who could be visiting this early in the morning, I made my way to the door and opened it to find a girl in a red Chinese dress with her arms stretched out in front of her and a woman dressed in blue who seemed to be the former's keeper... to be continued
