Eimi! (Patreon)

As a merchant, Eimi is keen to get any oportunity to get ahead: adventuring in dangerous places to gather rare materials, fighting monsters to reach the best trading posts earlier and even "VIP treatment coupons" which she learned were a great way to gather loyal customers.

Yui, being her kitsune friend with more streetsmarts than a tanuki, operated a tea house were such coupons could be secured after she offered a partnership with Eimi to supply her business. Eimi figured that was a great way to marketing herself to potential connections to further her travelling-saleswoman-adventurer career!

However, the mischievous fox couldn't help herself to mix some coupons she used in her own business with the wholesome coupons Eimi offered to her clients. Instead of "tea party" or "a hug" or the one-million point coupon of "sleeping on her lap while she tells you everything will be alright with some headpats", she offered one... quite curious.

Eimi didn't even catch that, thinking that was just another kind of hugging, but around her waist.

Once it was redeemed she quickly learned about Yui's prank. However, she didn't ask to remove the coupon.

Oddly enough, now everybody wanted to buy supplies with her because they wanted to gather enough points for the "special service with that tanuki girl". She became quite popular, and Yui's teahouse profited a lot off the promotion.

After a while, Eimi had to stop offering coupons for those special services. The requests were distracting her from her adventuring, even though some of her loyal customers still venerated her, asking when she would offer "special service" coupons again.

Maybe someday.

Tanuki girls are so cute (●'◡'●) Fluffy tail and fluffy ears, it's like a catgirl but with a leaf on top of her head. So often forgotten, so underrated.

Spread love to tanuki girls!
