Event Story – Cyber Animal Panic! ch.16

[kozvme]

Victor: Hmm, it seems that for the past week it has not manifested invisibility.
Apparently things have settled down, so this one is no different from a normal serval now.

Ren: Is that so...

Victor: Returning it to the zoo should be no problem. Is it not a great thing, Ren?

Ren: ......

Victor: Ren.

Ren: ... I get what you're saying.

Serval: Meow~

Ren: Yeah, the examination is already over. What's wrong? Acting so spoiled... Do you want some treats?

Victor: ......
You seem to have strong feelings for this cat.

Ren: Kh, that's...

(It's just that when it demands attention like this...
It might not want to separate from me. If we return it to the zoo now, it'll probably feel lonely...)

Victor: Ren. Are you identifying yourself with this cat?
With the you who lost his family and became alone.

Ren: Wha...

Victor: Thus why you did not want it to feel lonely or be treated cruelly.
Do you still feel that way?
But I am pretty sure you seek revenge on those who robbed you of your family.

Ren: ......!
......
... I know that already, you don't have to tell me.

(I've never forgotten, not even for a second... the reason I became a hero.
It's just... Detaching myself from this one, who's been snuggling as close as possible to me...)

Victor: Oh my, it is the zoo... Just a moment please.
Yes... Yes, no abnormalities found...
Eh? Is that right? I understand.

Ren, regarding that cat... it seems it has a family at the zoo.

Ren: What...!

Victor: Everyone is waiting for the cat to go back since it is now doing better.

Ren: I, see... That's... right.

(This cat wasn't alone...)

Victor: So, what are you going to do, Ren?

Ren: Nothing of course. If it has a family, then it's not my place to say something.
I'm gonna return it to the zoo.



Gast: This cat really doesn't wanna let you go, Ren.

Victor: How about you do your part and stop caressing it, Ren?

Marion: Mind your business, Victor.

Ren: ... Come on, look in front of you.

Serval's family: Meow~

Ren: That's your family. They're waiting for you. Come on, go.

Serval: Meow~

Gast: Haha, it ran at full speed.

Ren: ......

(It looks so happy to have reunited with its family. With this, it won't feel lonely anymore.)

Caretaker: Thank you very much for looking after it. It must have been difficult given it is much different from a normal cat, right?

Ren: That's right, it was hard...
But it wasn't bad.

Gast: Aaah, now that it's gone I feel kinda lonely.

Marion: But, well, the living room will be quiet again now. I don't have to worry about it suddenly jumping left and right.

Gast: 's that what you say, but didn't you spoil it quite a lot too? I heard all sorts of things from Jacqueline, ya know.

Marion: ... Gast. I'll discipline you instead of the cat.
So thoroughly you won't tattle anymore...

Gast: Huh, why...!?

Victor: Your farewell was surprisingly plain.

Ren: You think so? Isn't that how it goes?

Victor: Fufu, I thought you would feel more down.

Ren: I have nothing to feel down for. With this, I can go back to focus on my original goal.

Gast: Ah, it finally looked this way.

Serval: Meow~

Ren: Yeah, see you...

(Be happy where you belong.)
