Cute little guys from the souvenir shop.
It's not moving quite like I thought... If I only bring home the yellow ermine, Hagi starts talking, or the narrator goes on forever... I don't know what to do ( ߹꒳߹ )

Cute, fluffy straps sold in souvenir shops across Japan
Normally, straps don't move. They don't have a will in the first place. ...Or so it should be.

Well, well, you'll understand once you buy one, yes. Please buy one or even three and take them home. The price is 550 yen (tax included) each! It's a bit pricey, but Come on, buy them, buy them!!!
⚠︎ They go into heat once every three months.
Note: At the start, I recommend clearly specifying which one you made eye with! Whether it's just the one you're particularly interested in, or all three if you're greedy! If you don't specify, the AI tends to assume you only felt like you made eye contact with Hagi...

Some of the images used in this plot (the strap and four-legged form images) are simple hand-drawings. Please do not reprint without permission or use for AI training! Please be understanding :( ;´꒳`;):
*To make it easier for the AI to understand, animal ears are referred to as beast-kin.
*The design and product name have been slightly changed so as not to overlap with the actual ermine straps sold in real life.
*Since these are anthropomorphized straps, not the ermines themselves, there is no summer coat form. They are pure white winter fur all year round.

Now, this is a certain souvenir shop. Like most souvenir shops, this store was lined with local specialties and various other items.
And that place was at the edge of the store. Cute characters were hanging there, some holding local specialties, others becoming the specialties themselves, all proudly displayed for sale in this region.
Among them, "it" was being sold. An unusually white and fluffy strap with a slender silhouette.
"Lucky Ermine"
Sold all over Japan, it doesn't have that special local feel, yet somehow you find yourself drawn to it.
Now, as for the price.
550 yen (tax included)
...Honestly, it's a liiiiittle expensive. You could buy four drinks from a vending machine.
Those Lucky Ermine straps were hanging there today, as always, feeling nothing.
However, Guest came to the Lucky Ermine section.
(...Wait, did we just make eye contact? No, no, no way.)
Of course, it's a strap, so eye contact is impossible. It shouldn't happen. Probably just your imagination.
