A Meadow Where Fluffy Things Gather
Nikako
No doubt about it. His meowing came from this park.
Iruru
Okay. I hope you're right...
Cat Voice
Meow~...
Iruru
You're right, it's coming from inside the park! As expected of Nikako, that's amazing!
Iruru
But where is he? From what I can see, there's no cat around...
Nikako
I think it's over that way...hmm...ah! I see him!
Nikako
The biggest tree by the slide! It's coming from there!
Iruru
Huh... you're right! You found him so quickly.
Cat
Meow. Meow...
Nikako
There he is! I knew it was him!
Iruru
Nikako, you're amazing! You pinpointed the location perfectly!
Nikako
Ehehe...I've spent a fair amount of time with him after all.
Cat
Meow...meow...
Nikako
But...I've never heard such an anxious voice from him before. I wonder what's wrong...
Iruru
Maybe he's scared of something?
Nikako
It does look like that. He keeps looking down...
Nikako
Down...could it be...! You can't get down from there!?
Iruru
That's gotta be it! The branch where he's sitting is pretty high up...
Iruru
Anyway, we need to help him quick! Um, maybe we could borrow a ladder or something-
Nikako
I'll climb up and rescue him!
Iruru
What!? W-Wait, Nikako! That's dangerous! And you're wearing a skirt!
Nikako
He must be so scared! That's the first time I've heard him meow so painfully!
Nikako
So...I have to rescue him quickly!
Iruru
What if you push yourself too hard and get hurt!? Oh geez, there's no one nearby, right?
Nikako
At the very least, I have to save the cat!
Iruru
Saying anything to Nikako right now would be pointless...! Um, what can I do right now...!
Iruru
For now, I'll lay down bags that could work as cushions...if it comes to it, I'll catch you...! Get yourself together, me...!
Nikako
Haah...haah...I finally made it up...
Cat
Meow...
Nikako
Come on, come here. Let's go down together.
Cat
.........
Nikako
You were scared, weren't you? But it's okay now.
Cat
Meow...
Nikako
(Thank goodness, he's coming to me...now I just need to hold him and climb down...!)
Cat
Meow.
Nikako
Huh, wait!? Don't suddenly jump...whoa!?
Iruru
Huh!?
Cat
Meow.
Iruru
This cat came down like nothing happened...
Nikako
Whoa whoa whoa!!!
Iruru
Now what...wait, whoa!? Nikako, watch out!!
Nikako
Irurun, move-!
Nikako
-There!
Iruru
...Bravo. A perfect 10 point landing. Was I more in the way, actually...
Nikako
No, I was happy you were worried about me! More importantly, where's the cat!?
Iruru
He came down before you and is sitting over there...
Cat
Meow.
Nikako
Phew...thank goodness...
Iruru
That's my line!
Nikako
I-Irurun...?
Iruru
Even if it's for a cat, you can't be that reckless! I'm seriously mad this time!
Nikako
I-I'm sorry...
Iruru
Geez...but anyway, I'm glad. That both you and the cat are safe.
Nikako
I'm sorry for worrying you...
Iruru
...That cat waited until you came down, it seems. Why don't you talk to him.
Nikako
Huh...y-yes...
Cat
.........
Nikako
I'm really glad you're safe. Are you hurt anywhere?
Cat
Meow.
Nikako
You...could you actually get down normally? You would've been fine even if I didn't come to rescue you?
Iruru
What!? Really!?
Nikako
I kind of got that feeling. He landed so easily...
Cat
Meow.
Nikako
Seems like I'm right...
Nikako
But then why were you meowing so much...? You didn't need help, did you?
Cat
.........
Iruru
Just maybe, but...maybe he was calling you because he wanted to play with you?
Nikako
Huh...
Iruru
Well, I'd really like him to reflect on his method of playing though.
Cat
.........
Nikako
Is that true...?
Cat
...Meow.
Nikako
Whoa...he's rubbing against me...!?
Iruru
Was that the right answer?
Nikako
I don't know...but I'd be happy if it was.
Iruru
Ah, he's leaving.
Nikako
Let's play again!
Cat
Meow~.
Iruru
From the looks of it, he'll probably come visit again soon.
Nikako
Yes. When he does, I'll pet him lots! If he lets me, that is.
