Avoided and Kicked

Iruru
Ah, there they are! Hey!

Nikako
Ah, Irurun and Shigure-chan!

Hatsumi
Oh, you're done already? How was it, Shigure? Are you all set with your homework?

Shigure
Let's see, well? I've pretty much decided which animals to research and write about. All I have to do is write it on the worksheet at home, so no problem.

Shigure
On the flip side, how did things go over there? Could it be Daikoku-senpai still hasn't overcome it~?

Daikoku
Ughhh......

Iruru
Normally she'd definitely talk back...what's wrong, Daikoku? You okay?

Nikako
Well, you see......

Nikako
Whoa, so many rabbits! It's fluffy heaven, Da-chan! Ren-san!

Hatsumi
Indeed, it's a soothing sight just watching them.

Daikoku
Y-Yes, my Lord...very soothing......

Nikako
Come here~.

Nikako
Wow! Look look, Da-chan! When I held out my arms, I was able to hold one! It's so fluffy!

Hatsumi
They're friendly. Maybe this will be okay even for Daikoku? Want to try holding one?

Daikoku
Y-Yes! I'll try...!

Daikoku
C-Come here~.

Nikako
Ah, she caught one!

Daikoku
Wapupupu!?

Nikako
Da-chan got kicked!? Ahh, it ran away......

Hatsumi
What, it came over here? There we go...hm, it's calm even when I hold it. So it's not naturally aggressive?

Hatsumi
You okay? Daikoku.

Daikoku
Y-Yes...ugh, why...if I were a rabbit, I'd rather be held by my Lord than me too, but...!

Nikako
Ahaha...we've only just started, Da-chan. Let's pull yourself together and go to the next enclosure!

Hatsumi
Here, eat up......

Goat
Meeeh!

Nikako
Ahaha, you already ate, didn't you? That tickles~.

Hatsumi
Last time was holding them so they struggled, but feeding should be fine, right? How about it, Daikoku?

Daikoku
Y-Yes, eat up......

Goat
......

Nikako
The goat's turning away from her!?

Goat
Meh! Meeeh!

Daikoku
Ow!? A-A headbutt!? Hey, don't pull on my clothes!! Even with feeding this happens...!?

Nikako
I-In a way, maybe it's getting attached to you...?

Hatsumi
There are all kinds of birds, so colourful. Are they part of the parakeet family?

Daikoku
Y-Yes...eek!

Nikako
Da-chan, you're too scared! That was just the sound of a bird flapping its wings.

Daikoku
Right...that's all it was. The food is...this, right? This time for sure......

Parakeet
!?!?!?

Hatsumi
W-What, the parakeet suddenly flapped its wings...it flew!!

Daikoku
Huh! Huh, what!? Could it be trying to land on my head...awawawawaa!?!?

Nikako
D-Da-chan!!!

Iruru
So at every enclosure you went to, things went spectacularly wrong.

Daikoku
Yes...I couldn't do anything. Go ahead and laugh...brat.

Shigure
Huh...Daikoku-senpai, didn't you do something...?

Daikoku
I didn't do anything! But things just won't work out!!!

Hatsumi
As far as I could see from the sidelines, isn't Daikoku approaching them way too timidly? I think that's being conveyed to them, and that's why they're running away.

Hatsumi
Why don't you try touching them boldly before getting scared?

Daikoku
Touch them boldly......

Iruru
Now now, don't get too down. ...Ah! I know, maybe Daikoku could get along with those animals?

Daikoku
Those animals...?

Iruru
You know, the red pandas that were in the news recently! They're cute, and even when they threaten you, they just stand up and make a cute pose, right?

Nikako
That's right! Even if you get threatened, it's not really scary. It's actually cute!

Shigure
Wow, good thinking, Iruru-senpai. This would be perfect for Daikoku-senpai, wouldn't it?

Shigure
Right? Daikoku-senpai? ...Daikoku-senpai?

Daikoku
Ugh......
