Ricter has started to befriend Kazarisu, a Kamaitachi yokai spirit that accompanies him. However, he needs a bit of 'motivation' to do more than just protect him, as such he feeds him a pint of alcohol to offer some inspiration.
Kazarisu resembles a stoat in appearance and size but can grow to be as big as a wolverine if he wishes, with paws that can extend into sickle-like claws. He has jagged white fur that is smooth to the touch with black coloring on his tail tip.
--------------------
"I've learned in nearly half a year that Kazarisu is a bit fickle, likes stupid jokes that I make, chicken, and drinking. I'm glad to have him around but he tends to be a bit of a menace, especially when he chugs a whole bottle of wine and ends up flying into my face or fucking up my house...Nonetheless, I'm starting to like him, we even started watching soap operas together. He can't understand it but he seems to enjoy all the drama."
"I've noticed that he's growing, after meeting that older Kamaitachi in Japan he's seemingly been getting strong enough to hold his own. He just lacks...motivation, not in a bad way but I have been demanding we work together better. Just the other day he was excited to show me my torn-up curtains and slashes on my walls, looks like he can swing shockwaves of air like a razor wind."
"I'm pissed, but proud of him... Is this what it's like to be a dad?"
"Over it seems him drinking gives him a physical body, and although he's never died after I've given him this, he's mentioned that if he 'died' he just reverts to his more spiritual clingy self."
