This is probably Futo just trying to chop wood or something, but I like to imagine that this is a prelude to a very Bad End.

I didn't expect him to write one more just the same day. Better for us.

僕と布都ちゃんは、仕事場へ行った。

「ここが、「」殿が働いている場所であるか？」布都ちゃんは、僕に聞き、そうだよと僕は答える。「見た所、森の中の様にしか見えないのだが・・・」うん、ここでいつも僕は働いているんだよと答えた。僕は、木を切って、薪や木材を売りつける仕事を細々としている。たまに妖怪の類が出るけど、大体逃げれば何とかなっている。「ほぅ・・・「」殿は木こりであったか・・・。」と布都ちゃんは意外そうだった。「・・・我達は二週間ぐらい一緒に住んでいたのに、全然分からなかった」と布都ちゃんはやや抗議するかの様に僕を見た。そう言えば、伝えてなかったね。と僕が言うと。布都ちゃんは「妖夢殿の気持ちが解った気がするぞ」とため息混じりに布都ちゃんは言った。あ～、ごめんね。と僕が謝ると、「我達は、同じ屋根の元で暮らしているのであるし、もっと、「」殿の事を知りたいぞ。我の事だって、知って貰えれば、我は・・・」と布都ちゃんは呟き「いや、「」殿の手伝いに来ておるのであった。早速、「」殿の仕事をさせて欲しい」と言った。うん、今日一日、宜しくね。布都ちゃん。と僕が布都ちゃんに言うと「我にお任せをー」と布都ちゃんは元気良く答えた。僕らは、仕事道具が置いてある物置から、道具を取って、作業に入った。驚いたのは、こんな華奢な布都ちゃんが一人前に斧を振り回して(斧を持てないだろうと冗談で渡したつもりだったけど軽々と扱いこなしていた)、木を切り倒した事だ。「これぞ、物部の秘術と風水の融合の力であるぞ」と布都ちゃんは顔をいつものようにドヤ顔に歪めた。布都ちゃん、以外と怪力だね、凄い・・・。と僕が言うと、「伊達に尸解仙をやっておらぬからな」とフンスと布都ちゃんが息を巻いた。どうやら、布都ちゃんは何か術の類が使えるらしく、その術の力できっと斧を振り回しているのだろう。まぁ、この世界では珍しい事ではないけど、もしかすると、ただの子では無いかもしれない。そう言えば、出会った時、祝福をしてくれと言っていたけど、何か会ったのだろうか？・・・そう考えると、布都ちゃんの出自は僕は分からない。気を使って聞いていないのだけど、僕も布都ちゃんの事をまだあまり知らないのかもしれない。「うん？どうしたぞ？「」殿？」と考え込んでいた僕に布都ちゃんは僕の顔を覗き込んだ。僕は何でもないよと答えて、また布都ちゃんに作業を教えつつ、手を動かしてわっふるわっふる

The trend for this series is to combine foreboding images with relatively innocent commentaries.

Going to work with Futo-chan

"So this is the place where my lord works?" she asked me, which I confirmed. "It appears to simply be a spot in the middle of the woods...." "Yeah. I'm always working here," I answered. "I scrape by selling firewood and lumber. Every once in a while a youkai shows up, but I usually manage it by running away." "Ohh... so you are a lumberjack, then?" she thought aloud, surprised. "...We have been living together for around two weeks, yet I did not know that," she said with a look of objection directed at me. "Now that I think about it, I guess I never told you." "I believe I know how Lady Youmu feels now," she proclaimed with a huff. I apologized. "We live together under the same roof. I want to know more about you. If you wanted to know more about me, I..." she trailed off before murmuring, "No... I came to help you. Please, let me help you work." "Alright, it's okay for today," I told her. "Leave it to me!" she happily replied.

We retrieved the tools from the shed and got to work. What surprised me was how this slender little Futo-chan was able to wield the axe like an adult and cut down a tree ("I can't use an axe" she said jokingly, pretending to hand it over before quickly taking it back). "That is the combined might of the Mononobe secret technique and feng shui!" she exclaimed with her usual smug grin. "Futo-chan, you have some sort of superhuman strength... incredible," I said. "I did not become a shikaisen merely for show," she huffed. It seems that she knows some sort of technique that allows her to properly swing that axe. Well, it's nothing too unusual in this world, but maybe she's not just a kid after all. Now that I think about it, when we first met, she asked me for my blessing... I wonder if something happened to her. Thinking more deeply about it, I realized I didn't really know about Futo-chan's origins. I had the sense not to ask her about it, but it seems that I still don't really know a whole lot about her. "Hmm? What is it?" Futo-chan interrupted, peeking up at my face. "Nothing," I replied, before resuming her instruction and work... to be continued
