Chapter 33 – Threatening Shadow

Friday

In anticipation of the hectic business on Sunday and Saturday, I and Tina are in town to buy the supplies

「Takuma-sama, Takuma-sama! Today’s tofu is cheap nodesu!」

Tina waves her hand with a smile

「Oh, half price How nice With tofu we can htly fried tofu」

Purchase decided

I also bought s

We bought quite a lot

「We have bought a lot, dind’t we~!」

「Un With this, on’t starve during the weekend」

Tina’s eyes shi+ned while looking at the bags in both her hands

Like a child that just bought a new toy

「Wa, Takuma-sama, Takuma-sama!」

「N?」

Tina calls me with an excited voice

「Look! It’s a 『Nyaamel』babies desu yo!」

Tina points her finger at a pet shop-like store

A s mi~ya miya~ in a case in front of the store

Ain’t that a cat?

The only difference is that the tail branches into two?

First of all, it’s plentily cute

「Wawaaaa……」

Tina is looking at the Nyaa eyes

I felt the same aura from her I felt from Nanase-san when she played with Tina

「Shall we take a look?」

「Is it okay nodesu ka!?」

「Of course」

「Wa~! Thank you nanodesu~!」

Pyun!!

「tte, fast!?」

Tina rushes to the case in high-speed

I follow after her

「Hora, hora~ come here nanodesu yo~」

Miya~ miya~

「Ah, it came nodesu!」

「It may have understood you since you are a cat ears friends」

Miya~, pero

「Kya, that tickles nodesu!」

Miya~ les playfully

What is this soft vision?

This sight alone just blew off 5 hours of the work fatigue

…… You really became lively, Tina

Although it should be a heartwar scene, I recalled the uneasiness

When I first met her, Tina was tattered and looked like she could disappear at any moment

With vacant eyes and not even a fragment of desire, I couldn’t feel almost no life in her

If i haven’t found her, she would most likely die in that church all alone

Compared to that time, Tina has become so lovely, like a different person

Her dirty, unkempt hair became silky and white as clouds

Her dirty, bloody skin became smooth without any stains

She’s now lively and cheerful as if the gloomy aura was just a shadow of the past

An adequate meal, sleep, and place

I think that Tina has recovered because of these things

But,

(No matter how you look at it, to transform this much?)

Even though she was treated like a slave, throay, and mentally at the bottom
