Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"I'll raise Pea!

"I'll raise Pea!

"... what?

All of a sudden, Catalina, both big and small, starts saying the same thing all in one place. Of course, that reaction is not because I made an offer. Coincidentally, their words overlapped.

Before that, Leah frowns.

"Hey, what are you talking about? Kata...... vixen"

"Pee... should be an important part of Catalina"

"... Catalina's important presence?

"Yep. I guarantee Pea won't attack you all. That should never be all, and I won't let you."

Catalina (Greater) affirms so in a desperate way somewhere out of the ordinary.

Leah thinks when she sees such a rival.

"(Something's wrong with your face?

Leah and Catalina (Greater) have acted together as brave parties for a time that is never too short. But Leah had never seen the look of Catalina before.

Because of this, she did not pry poorly, but shook her head up. I seem to have assumed something to do with Catalina's past.

"... Fine. If you say that much, will you believe it? But when something happens, you take responsibility, right?

"Naturally. Until that moment of the last day…"

…………

In that reply of Catalina, for a moment Leah narrowed her eyes. Contains words of some concern...... He felt that way.

But her thoughts, in the voice of the smaller Catalina, will be extinguished.

"Oh, sister?! Are you sure?! ♪ Boom-boom ♪

It is not an exaggerated circumstance to say that everyone disagrees, but only my sister will allow me. Besides, with that sister's word, we must have been happy and helpless as Catalina (Jr.) because it gave us an atmosphere where everyone couldn't object to having Yamanik chicks. In that evidence, from her tail seeped an inexpressible joy.

Adult Catalina, by contrast, nodded quietly as she smiled back at her smiling little self. And with the look on her face as it is, she speaks like this.

"... is that good? Catalina."

"Yeah? What?

"You take care of Pee, don't you?

"Uh... yeah! Absolutely!"

"... please?

Though the tone wasn't sinking, did you somehow feel caught...... Catalina (Jr.) looked up at her sister and tilted her neck.

But right behind you, Pi, because she heard the squeal, or she hurriedly looked back without asking her sister about the situation...... And I crouched in front of Yamanik's chick.

"Nice to meet you, huh? Pea!"

"Pi, pi......" puffy

"Something looks cold..."

Noticing the trembling chick, the little Catalina took off her jacket and put it on the chick.

Watching how it goes, Leah whispers to the adult Catalina.

"... Hey, Catalina. After all, what is that girl?

"... it's my family"

"You mean a pet?

"No, it's family. Whether you're sleeping, eating meals, wet and cold in the rain, or scared by demons… it's an important family you've always been on my side"

…………

From now on, Leah had not been asked what kind of life little Catalina was going to lead. However, as far as adult Catalina's words are concerned, her life is full of waves...... There seemed to be no doubt that an unimaginable future lay ahead.

Is it because you realize that, Leah exhales, as if to shake off the strange air drifting on the spot, then... I turned to Catalina, an adult.

"I've always thought... you like unusual creatures"

"... hey, I don't know what Leah is talking about, isn't the cute stuff cute?

"... right. I don't know what Catalina is talking about either..."

Yamanik chicks like gray hairy balls. And --,

"............"?

--and a shadowy schwartz...... Neither of them seemed to convince Leah without hesitation, either because they were generally not of the kind that could be described as "cute".... after all, Catalina and I are incomprehensible.

Thereafter, they were able to return safely to the energy using metastatic magic. Of course, there are Yamanik chicks there, commonly known as "Peas" or "Pixies"... Eventually, the boys and girls will all see to it that Pixie is taken care of. … it should be noted that rear may not be an exception.

Meanwhile, around that time......

"All right, all right, all right! Pretty? Polaris."

"Guru?

"You're the only friend I have now."

"Gu, gu..."

Inside some giant facility that sinks to the bottom of the ocean, there was a boy happily stroking the ground dragon with his eyes like a dead fish, or there wasn't...

It should be noted that even today he —— the Enders boy -- appears to have been struggling to study arithmetic.
