Loading a wagon, they meet up with Rikiga telling them not to make Shion Jr. It is not Getsuyaka, it is whatever fortune is in their lives. Wondering about whether they have secured a lifeline for Shion and Nezumi, they can only believe in them at this point. It is acceptable, and thanking him they say they will see him tomorrow. Inukashi calls him out on being a good family oriented man, asking him whether he thinks the authorities would buy that before calming the situation by upping the deal to three silver coins, asking if this is acceptable. When Getsuyaka changes his mind and backs out upon hearing this, Inukashi insists he does not really have a say in the matter, he has already provided them information on his workplace for two silver coins. There is an additional feature in mind that they whisper to him after the robot has entered to facilities to make a big fuss. Alleviating the concerns that other staff members would have likely never seen rubbish before in their lives, Inukashi replies that none of them care about how hard he works or how important their job is, so why not play a little prank. They are not anything dangerous though they will cause a nasty smell to be emitted, with the reasoning that it is just a little mischief. They pass along the advice for him to just make up any excuse if someone notices.Įxplaining that on the day of the sacred festival, they want the cleaning robots to expel all of the rubbish they have sucked up, along with providing a container of pills to add. They ask if the man in charge can change the time for inspection to tomorrow, when told they are only checked monthly. Meeting with a staff member, Inukashi tells them they want the cleaning robots put out of commission, enquiring that in here they are not only in charge of dealing with rubbish, but also in charge of them. They first meet Shion when he arrives with Nezumi at their hotel. This meeting consequently starts the beginning of their antagonistic interactions. Later in their life, they try to search for resources and end up in Nezumi's place, where the latter accuses them of stealing. From then on they are exposed to living and communicating with the dogs around them. Little is known of Inukashi's origins, yet, as a baby, they were taken care of by an old man - primarily the man's dog, whom Inukashi refers to as their mother. When they asked about the Correctional Facility, Nezumi also promised to sing Inukashi's soul away if they were to die which meant something for them. Inukashi doesn't like it, but is glad when Nezumi is willing to sing for their dogs when they're dying. When Shion and Nezumi are inside the correctional facility, it is shown that Inukashi cannot help but wish for them to survive the ordeal. They also come to care greatly for Shion, and on some level even Nezumi.

Inukashi does not at first understand caring for other living beings besides their dogs until the point when Shion saves a baby and entrusts it to them to look after. Nezumi often uses this to manipulate them. They have a deep fear of suffering, pain and death, and despite usually being closed off and secretive, is open about this fact. Overall, Inukashi is very tough with Rikiga even believing that that may be tougher than Nezumi in the long run, remarking, 'Maybe I should watch out more for the dog than the fox.' Being very cunning and wary of the world around them, they has a great understanding of the world they live in. It is implied that Inukashi is younger than Shion and Nezumi, but they seem to dabble in more dangerous things than they do in order to provide for their dogs and themself. With time spent together, Inukashi finds themselves wondering if they had gotten too attached. They think that Shion is a huge oddball - not only because of his looks but also because of his personality and naivety - however they still offer him a job. Inukashi is very cocky and self aware, but has a kinder side shown in their love for dogs constantly speaking about how they are better and kinder than humans. They have a rash way of speaking with people like Rikiga considering them a brat. They are quick tempered and speaks their mind very bluntly. Inukashi is an independent person who views humans as despicable. They wear a grey belt and tan, strapped sandals. They dress (most likely due to limited resources) in old, worn clothes namely a low-cut, long sleeved button up blouse of faded maroon and old blue pants that are ripped at the hems. Inukashi is short, with a slender frame and long dark hair, tan skin, and dark brown eyes.
