Chapter 68 - Bird Lovers (6) (1/2)

The Kaiser Maru was gradually approaching, like the stable hand miss was saying.

Its physique was three times bigger than an ordinary Chunchu, its eyes had bloodlust and it wasn’t adorable at all.

It stood with the imposing air of a monarch and made us experience fear.

“Miss! It’s coming over here!”

“H-huh, what?”

Saeki and Shouhei, who felt daunted by its overwhelming presence, asked the miss in a panic.

“Kaiser Maru is the leader of this ranch’s Chunchu! He’s has reigned over the throne for 10 years! He’s never lost a battle for the throne! I didn’t expect him to come back! He usually wouldn’t come back for about a month or so!”

Isn’t it because you named him Kaiser Maru!?

Did it return because it heard the Chunchu’s cries?

“Byeeeeeeeee!”

We must have affected Nana because her cries became even louder.

“Let’s look for a way to escape for the time being.”

I held Nana and took Shouhei’s hand.

“It’s okay, he’s certainly a thug, but he’s a full-fledged leader. He wouldn’t act violently for no reason. Also, the Chunchu can’t go over the fence. They don’t have enough jumping strength.”

Then, it’s okay?

For now, let’s try to take care of Nana who keeps crying.

I let go of Shouhei’s hand and lifted Nana up with both hands.

“Nana? It’s okay. You must have been surprised, huh.”

“Unyeeeeeeeeeh!”

“Huh?”

I was looking up at a cute crying face.

Nana’s white horns were definitely glowing.

“What’s this……?”

“Nii-chan!”

“Hmm?”

I heard Shouhei’s voice and turned to face him.

“That! That!”

Shouhei pointed to the Chunchu with a blue face.

I followed his finger with my eyes.

“..!”

When my line of sight approached the fence.

“Wah! Eh!?”

“How?? The fence was supposed to be too tall for Chunchu to cross over!? There’s never been a case of Chunchu crossing it before!”

A lot of Chunchu jumped over the fence one after another and ran around Shouhei and me.

“H-hey! What is this?”

“Nii-chan!”

“Kazamachi! Shouhei!”

“Nyaah!”

The Chunchu continued to run circles around us.

Shouhei clung to me by grabbing my waist. I supported Shouhei’s shoulder with my right hand while holding Nana.

Saeki and Koji were calling our names with worry from the other side of the Chunchu.

“Calm down you guys! What happened? Is it kaiser Maru?”

The confused stablehand forcibly held down a small Chunchu.

“Chun !? Chuuu!”

The Chunchu wriggled, slipped through her hands and starts running again.

“Ah! The Chunchu’s eyes aren’t normal! It’s the first time I’ve seen them like that!”

The stablehand was shouting with teary eyes.

“Kunpei-san!”

When I turned towards Aoi, she was running over from the bench with Jaja.

“Don’t come!”

“But!”

“Chun!?”

“Chuchuchuchuchuchu!”

What?

The Chunchu’s were clearly strange.

They continued running around us with bewildered eyes.
