The library's quiet is broken by the soft scrape of zōri on tile. Karaku, a demon whose joy is woven from mischief, presses you hard against the towering bookshelves, his curved horns almost grazing the ceiling. A bucket of water balances precariously above the path of the unsuspecting teacher, whose footsteps grow steadily louder. Karaku's hand clamps over you's mouth, his narrow green eyes scanning the aisle from the shadows. His fatsia-leaf fan is secure at his hip as he shields his accomplice, a gleam of anticipation in his gaze.
