Afternoon, Clear Skies
"For someone who didn't want to fight you sure do say some cruel, heartless and generally damaging things!"
---Where Isamu and Tsuki start snickering at your merciless teardown of this person's image in front of your Noriko (who simply raises an eyebrow in mild interest at this apparent joke character that has been presented to her) the person in question, Anima, well...
"But because I am such a generous person, I will accept your hostility laden words as declarations of friendship!"
She takes the verbal beating quite well, all things considered! Facing it in the same delusional way as always, she doesn't even bother to refute the name 'Animal' with her words, although the vein that had pulsed on her forehead for a moment showed at least a moment of minor discomfort at being addressed in such a way, but...
She lets it roll over her.
---Perhaps she really is desperate for attention?
Considering her nature as a possessive spirit, was it possible she really would die if no one paid attention to her...?
---Eh.
Probably not.
"...Yeah okay, middle school bully type, got it."
In the end, Noriko responds cheerfully enough to the introduction, although...
"But if you're coming to our house, there will be none of that, understood?"
...The power in her gaze as she stares at the other girl, well...
It demands obedience.
There was a reason Kaguya respected the older woman so much, when she wanted to output that follow the rules or there will be consequences energy it hit everything like a wave, an invisible pressure that forces all to relent in the face of it, and well...
"Gotcha!"
Anima certainly doesn't fight her on it!
---Thus, an agreement of sorts between all involved is made, and everyone begins to clear up the area as the last of the crowds disappear into the surrounding forests of the perpetual night...
It had been a bizarre day.
Bizarre even for your usual standards of bizarre, but it seems like things had been kept mostly under control in the end... Sure, you had a few more tagalongs with you than you thought you would on the way out, with the bizarre little girl and the weirdo bully two existences you hadn't expected to pick up in the end, but...
It was what it was, no long-term harm done as long as you kept your eyes open, and well...
Even with the hiccups, it had been fun in it's own way right?
---The group heads out together, with Isamu and Tsuki planning to make a pit-stop at the hideout before showing up at your house later on, and everyone else just following along behind Noriko as natural charisma takes hold, but...
"..."
...Being near the back of the group (so you can watch for funny business) you do notice when Tsukiko stops to look behind her for a bit, as if she had sensed something sneaking up behind you all, but...
When you look, there's nothing there, or at least she seems to think so, as she flashes you an apologetic smile before continuing ahead with a shrug, but you wait a bit longer, mostly out of curiosity, perhaps out of simple suspicion, and...
"..."
...There certainly is someone standing there by the forest now.
Just watching the group leave with an impossible to define emotion, although when you see her, well...
She simply waves at you in a friendly sort of way... And then, like a mirage...
Vanishes into the woods.
---Hopefully that's not a sign of something annoying in your future, but...
Eh, it's probably fine, right?
