Mornings for the haniwas started early. That was because their master, Kiriha, rose before dawn. She took on the important job of making breakfast in room 106, and the haniwas would always tag along with her.
“Ho! Yurika-chan is still asleep, ho!”
“Let’s wipe the drool off her face before we wake her, ho!”
“Mmm, I-I can’t eat any more... Hee, heeheehee...”
The haniwas’ first job of the day was to rouse Yurika. They’d never once seen her get up on her own. Moreover, she was a complete mess—especially in her sleep. Part of their job was making sure she was presentable before Koutarou woke up.
“Let’s shake her, ho! Even though we know it won’t do any good, we have to try, ho!”
“We sure work hard, ho! We love working, ho! We’re model servants, ho!”
After climbing up into the wardrobe, the haniwas quickly got to work shaking Yurika. It would have been more than enough to wake any normal person, but Yurika wasn’t any normal person. She was still in a far, far off dreamland.
“Hmm, mmm, mmph... But it is a buffet... Mmm, mmph... I’ll take some more home with me... Mmph, mmm, hmm...”
“Brother, she’s not waking up at all, ho!”
“Then let’s move to plan B, ho!”
The haniwas had expected that much. This wasn’t their first rodeo. Undeterred, they swiftly moved on to the next phase: using feathers to tickle Yurika’s nose. That had been their surefire way of waking her recently.
“Ah, ahhh...”
At the first touch of a feather, Yurika’s nose started twitching right away.
“It’s working, ho!”
“Just one more push, ho!”
Anticipating that Yurika was just about to sneeze, the haniwas started tickling her nose even more. However...
“Aaahh—chu!”
“Ho! Ho, ho, ho!”
“Wawawah, ho!”
However, their opponent was formidable. Yurika did indeed sneeze, but then rolled over and went right back to sleep, trapping the haniwas beneath her.
“Save us, hooooo!”
“Ane-san, Ane-san! We were done in by an unexpected counterattack, ho!”
The haniwas desperately struggled to get out from under Yurika, who showed nary a sign of waking up. They seemed to be suffering at first glance, but the hardworking haniwas were actually quite happy. They adored Yurika for giving them such a tough challenge.
