The rainstorm has gotten heavier, and the warrior no longer feels comfortable traveling in the downpour. Down the road he spots a feminine figure approaching. As she draws nearer he can see several tails swishing back and forth behind her and he realizes that it is an Inari.

"Oh traveler you must be soaked out here. Come, let me offer you sanctuary in my home," she offers to which the man graciously accepts.

He follows her to a small house where she treats her to a cup of tea and a bowl of ramen. At the end of lunchtime the Inari explains, "Reports say the storm isn't going to let up until tomorrow morning. Care to stay the night?"

The warrior nods, uninterested in heading back out into the heavy rain.

When nightfall comes the man removes his armor and rests in a straw bed. In the middle of the night he awakens, shocked to find himself chained up and in nothing but his undergarments. He makes out the Inari's lewd face nearby in the dim glow who says, "If you're going to spend the night, then I want it to be one we can remember."

The next morning, the man is fully rested and is treated to a hearty breakfast. After the meal he dons his gear and heads out with his Inari wife accompanying him.
