Character Story 2: Drawn by a Strange Voice


Scene: A street in Landsol, at night.

Kyaru
Meow... Meow, meow... Meow...

Kyaru
... Meow!? D-Don't start talking to me that suddenly!

Kyaru
Huh? What are you doing here?

Kyaru
Me? I'm... um, well, it's none of your business, is it?

Kyaru
(Damn it, I messed up! I thought that, if I moved somewhere close to his hotel, I'd be able to keep track of him!)

Kyaru
(Because that's my duty!)

Kyaru
(But because I don't know how hotels work, and because I don't have a real address or anything other references... The proprietor thought I was suspicious, and I had to take off.)

Kyaru
(I don't want to fail at my job because of these kinds of mundane details... But because I said that I'd be staying outside tonight, I can't go back to the palace... So now I'm stuck in this situation without a solution.)

Kyaru
(And then, for some reason, all these cats were gathering here... So I just stayed here to pet them and feed them some of the food I'd bought earlier.)

Kyaru
(But I can't give him such a crazy explanation.)

Kyaru
Huh? What's with that face...? Y-You have a problem with me?

Yuuki
1. "You look pretty down, are you all right?"
2. "It's late at night, you should keep it down!"

Option 1.

Kyaru
What...? What are you so worried about? So conceited!

Kyaru
Sigh... You're really a weirdo.

Option 2.

Kyaru
A-Ah... It's already this late, so I guess I'm disturbing people around here.

Kyaru
Somehow, getting lectured on common sense by you really gets me angry...?

End of branches.

Kyaru
Huh? You're asking why I was making those weird noises?

Kyaru
Oh... You heard all that "meowing", so you came out to see what it was?

Kyaru
You really are a curious type. Even though we're in the city, lately, Landsol's public security has been bad, so it's better if you don't go poking your nose around.

Kyaru
The same goes for me? I guess... I'm still recovering from that episode. If I were to be attacked by hoodlums, I wouldn't be able to resist.

Kyaru
I guess I just have to go home. I'll tell Her Highness something like, it seemed like he was about to uncover me, so I thought I'd better head back quickly... Something like that.

Kyaru
Though, even though I'm saying 'uncover', it's really more like we're just chatting face to face. Ahhh.... Why can't I do this right?

...

Kyaru
D-Did I just say all that out loud? Just pretend you didn't hear that! Forget it, okay? Okay!?

Kyaru
W-Wah... This cat started climbing up my clothes.

Kyaru
Cut that out -- you'll get hurt, okay? Be a good boy and come down, meow, meow...

Kyaru
Hmm? What are you staring at... You think that cats are a novelty?

Kyaru
That's right, you've lost your memory, huh? Well, this animal is called a cat. Cute, huh?

Kyaru
You want to try holding one? Gently, now, and make sure you don't drop it, okay?

Kyaru
Ha ha! That cat really doesn't like you!

Kyaru
It would be bad if you got scratched, so you'd better put him back here. Cats have germs on their claws and teeth -- you could come down with tetanus.

Kyaru
There we go... Ahh, so warm...

Kyaru
... Hmm? What, what are you staring at now?

Kyaru
Huh? You think cats really seem to like me?

Kyaru
Heh... I'm pretty close to animals and monsters, for certain reasons.

Kyaru
It's just my special nature, so I don't think it's anything about cats liking me in particular.

Kyaru
I'm never going to have anyone who really cares about me. If people were to find out about the real me, they would probably all hate me.

Kyaru
Huh? You... care about me?

Kyaru
D-Don't be dumb! You shouldn't say things like that to people you don't know that well! You really don't get anything, do you?

Kyaru
There are plenty of better, more deserving people who you should be saying those words to.

Kyaru
Ahh... With how late it is, I'm starting to feel cold.

Kyaru
I don't want to catch a cold, so I'm going home. You should also go back to your hotel and go to bed.

Kyaru
... Yeah. Bye-bye.

Kyaru
Ha ha. He really is like a dummy. We ended up talking for a long time, like friends...
