Yes, I love you too, Kikuzuki.An encoded message?Iyay ovelay ethay ommanderCay That's a good tanuki as well!Thank you. Let me see.HINTThe tanuki code is a children's 'encoding' where you insert 'ta' into the message, and remove it (Tanuki > Ta-nuki "Remove 'ta'")
Here, it's /tashireitatasuki/, which in kanji would be た司令たた好き. Removing the 'ta' makes it /shireisuki/ 指令好き which is 'I love the Commander'.
Pig Latin is a readily-recognisable, and as easily decoded, English equivalent.
