Work Text:
Dear Ms Hina,
It’s been a while since I wrote to you. Sorry about that! I’ve been doing the occasional hobbies I do, like Onikabuto battles, hanging with the kids in the neighborhood and doing odd jobs here and there. I bet that I don’t need to talk more about it since I mentioned it from our previous letters to you.
Also, I’ve been hanging out with a buddy recently, he’s been a real blast to be with! With trading cards and beetle fights, I feel this certain connection with him. Like we’re in the same wavelength, it’s like he understands me which is the best cause not a lot of people feel me, you know. I don’t wanna reveal any details about him but he has a high position from a clan so I doubt he wants to be mentioned here.
Which leads to what I want to share with you. It’s a series of events that I noticed while talking to the guy. He’s been saying really weird things and asking odd questions to me lately and I just don’t know how to react to them. Is there something going on with him? Is his work really that stressful? Anyways, I just wanted to let you know cause I’ve been really concerned about him. I’ll even list some weird questions that he asked me:
Number one: He asked me if I could make him miso soup everyday for him, which first of all, miso soup has tofu. I’m an Oni, I don’t think I can handle those stuff if I tried. Is he trying to murder me or something? That’s one big glaring thing why I don’t touch that stuff. Second, isn’t eating the same stuff everyday unhealthy? I’m the last person who should go on about healthy eating habits but watch out for your health, man.
Number two: The guy asked me if I wanted to be a part of his family. It’s very flattering and sweet at best! I never told him this but I also think of him as part of my gang as well, basically we’re practically family as well! Although I did tell him how would his sister feel about having a giant oni as a brother but weirdly, he said he didn’t mean it like that. Which is weird, in what way did he mean it other than he considers me as a brother?
Number three: He asked me if I could have his children which um, no? He should take care of his OWN children. I can’t believe he’s thinking of doing something so irresponsible. How odd.
That’s not all! One time he told me something alarming and I quote: “I want to wake up next to you everyday.” Like what? Is someone targeting my buddy? Is he in danger?? I swear to the archons above that I will protect him from harm. If anyone wants to get to him, they have to go through ME. But anyways, he keeps denying it and saying that I have the wrong idea but I disagree. I hope he’s not keeping things from me cause I’m really concerned about him. This is an important thing cause he might be in danger.
Alright, this letter is getting long enough already but you must see my worries about the guy. Hoping for your guidance cause I’m real confused about him, I hope his work didn’t get to him. I bet he needs a long break but I might be wrong. Thanks a bunch, Miss Hina!
PS: Can’t wait for your upcoming meet&greet, I’ve been counting the days to it!
Sincerely, Arataki “one and oni” Itto

“Gorou, is everything alright?” asked Yae Miko as she came close to the desk of a certain dog general. Gorou, sitting behind his desk with piles of letters on top of it, held an amused and curious expression on his face.
“Yes, it’s just...” Gorou trailed off as he looked back at the letter on hand.
“I never thought someone could be this dense to marriage proposals.”
