Hooray! (Ah, I am out of sequence, but oh well!) Happy comment for #4--I don't know whether to feel sorry for Yuuko or not, with all the drinking she does--but the four calling birds worked into the story were brilliant, and I do feel sorry for the pipe fox spirit, who was only trying to help. :D

And even though I don't know the fandom, I also really liked #5. Cute, very cute. :) Nice job.
