WARNING: ARTISTIC NUDITY!
CUIDADO: NU ARTÍSTICO!
Eru Hoshimori was preparing his own bath after a long and tiresome day of being a jūsha, when he heard Raijin, one of his uncles, shouting at him a command.
-Raijin (雷神): Hurry up with your bath! I need your services at this moment!
Eru got startled at first and after he understood Raijin's words, the pink-haired boy cried a little.
-The Jūsha Ritual: jūsha are youths who attend the Hoshimori family as servants. In normal cases, all of the jūsha came from lesser families, were orphans or were abandoned. Mimi and Eru had to attend this ceremony, because they are mixed-race, so they weren't truly considered members of the family. In order to be considered a part of the family, youths must be submitted to this ritual. Female jūsha that are orphans or abandoned might become a geisha of Hoshimori's in the future. Tasks assigned to jūsha include: cleaning, cooking and entertaining family members and guests. They do not obey guests, only family, but if someone from Hoshimori commands a jūsha to serve a guest, they will. Jūsha will have to dance, sing, play music, recite poetry, give baths, bring food and perform favors. When a jūsha refers to their superior, they call them goshujin-sama (if male) and josei-sama (if female). Jūsha are not allowed to cut their hair even after completing this ritual. If they cut their hair, they will have to do this ritual again. Some jūsha receive a piercing.
