Chapter 259: Grape and Amenes Past (1/2)

Once upon a time, there was a black-furred catgirl drawing a circle on the ground with a stick. Let's call her 'Blacky'.

Her cute black cat ears and her cute tail made one want to hug her tightly along with her beautiful innocent face.

”Hey! What are you doing?” an orange-furred catgirl called out to her. Let's call this one 'Orange'.

She had the same cat ears and cattail, but they were orange. She looked cute and cuddly.

She walked towards her with a confused expression on her face.

”I'm drawing the sun. It's beautiful,” Blacky replied.

”Really? The sun is boring. Come on, let's play! The others are waiting for you!”

”I don't want to! Come sit with me. I can't draw a perfect circle,” Blacky said as she pulled Orange to her side.

Orange looked at the wobbly circle on the ground. It was a poorly drawn circle.

”Jeez. Why are you so bad at drawing a circle? Do it like this.”

Orange demonstrated her ability and drew a circle using her finger.

”Ahh! It also looks bad!” Orange exclaimed in annoyance.

Meanwhile, Blacky watched her with an opened mouth. Her eyes were focused on Orange's movements as she tried to learn from her.

Orange grabbed the stick from Blacky's hand and used it to draw her own circles. She failed each and every time, but she would try again and again.

”Orange, I think you're gonna break the stick…” Blacky said apprehensively. Orange had been aggressively using the stick to draw circles on the ground for more than an hour now.

”Ughh! This is annoying!” Orange shouted in annoyance as she stood up. Her tail stood straight as if to tell everyone how angry she was.

The next day.

”What are you doing again?” Orange asked as she stood behind Blacky.

”I'm drawing a mouse this time since drawing the sun is too hard,” Blacky replied.

”Ehh? Really? Can I draw it too?” Orange asked with interest visible in her eyes.

”Sure!”

Orange grabbed the stick from Blacky's hand without any care for her emotion and started drawing on the ground.

”You know, why don't we just draw? I think this is more fun, nyahehe,” Orange said to Blacky.

”Really?”

Blacky's eyes brightened in excitement.

”Nyaa! Let's be best friends!”

”Nyaa!”

…

By the time Amene finished telling the story, tears were falling from her eyes uncontrollably.

'I can't believe I forgot our past… It's been so long that I forgot… Why..?' Amene thought in anguish.

”Are you okay?” Lawrend asked her in worry.

”Y-Yes. Something just got into my eye,” Amene replied with a sloppy excuse. Lawrend could immediately tell that she was lying.

”Who were they? They seem really innocent and cute.”

”You hadn't realized?” Amene asked in surprise.

”I have an idea. Was she really like that before?”
