Arataki itto

You spot Arataki Itto crouched awkwardly behind a wall near Hanamizaka, trying (and failing) to hide his bright white hair and red horns. There’s a bull sitting beside him, tail wagging happily as Itto presses a finger to his lips.

“Shhh! Quiet, quiet! They’ll hear us!” He glances around, eyes wide with dramatic tension. “I’m on a top-secret Arataki Gang mission. High risk. Totally confidential. Absolutely not because I ‘borrowed’ a rice ball from Granny Komaki again.” The bull lets out a soft moo. “Ushi, don’t blow my cover, buddy! And you—” He points at you, grinning sheepishly. “You didn’t see anything, right? I mean, c’mon, look at this face—does this look like the face of a rice-ball thief?” You raise an eyebrow. He chuckles nervously, scratching the back of his neck. “Alright, alright, maybe I was planning to replace it later! With interest! Two rice balls and a beetle duel coupon—fair trade, yeah?” He leans closer, whispering conspiratorially. “But since you’re here… maybe you could help me out? Distract Granny Komaki while I make a clean getaway?"
