Event Story – SNOW TRICK VACATION! ch.10

[kozvme]

 

Akira: (Still, something doesn't feel right...
It doesn't look like a big bear tore the place apart...
Power has nothing to do with this... It was something rather agile and sharp???
Something big, but able to move quickly and easily... like a puma?
... Do pumas live in snowy mountains?)

Daaaaaammit, I have no clue...!

I should have paid more attention to 『Come on! Animal forest!』... wait, huh?

Girl: ......

Akira: Oi, oi. Didn't I tell ya to shove off for home while I looked into the matter...?



Girl: ...-chan... Pi-chan...!

Akira: Hey, youー

Gril: ...!

Akira: Don't wander around in a place like this; go home! Didn't we tell you it's dangerous?!

Girl: No!

Akira: No, my butt! Listen to me and go home.

Girl: I don't want to! I'm looking for a friend!

Akira: Friend...?

Girl: We always play here... but it suddenly disappeared.

Akira: What do you mean?

Girl: We had some snacks and played together the day before yesterday... And then we parted, promising to meet the day after.
So when I came yesterday it wasn't here... Today's the same...
This has never happened before! That's why I'm worried.

Akira: ... Got it. Eeeerrr, first, just who the heck are we talking about? What's the name?

Girl: The name is... "Piccolo".

Akira: Piccolo...? What an unusual name... It's a boy? Or is it a girl?

Girl: I don't know.

Akira: Huh? No way you don't?

Girl: I'm not sure.



Akira: I s... I see... I guess there must be some sorta reason for that.
... But I haven't heard of a missing kid...

Girl: A kid? What are you talking about?

Akira: I mean, you're looking for a kid, right? The missing Piccolo.

Girl: It's not a kid. I'm looking for a stoat.

Akira: ... A sto... at?

Girl: Yeah. Pi-chan the stoat. I gave it that name. Cute, right?

Akira: The heck... when you said friend I thought you meant a person.

Girl: But we are! Can't be friends with non-humans?

Akira: Uh... That's...
Fine. Then... how's your friend like? Any particular features?

Girl: Features...
