White Cat

(Thinking as Yuuri) ...If we say white cats, we're saying LI○NS. But today...?

By Tomo Takabayashi

"If I don't go through this place, I can't reach the area where they're having my BIRTHDAY PARTY...."

"As expected from Anissina, she really is a genius with traps, huh?"

"Wolf, why are you folding your arms like that? Don't say it as if you agree with this. When you act like this, you look exactly like your older brother."

"It makes me happy to hear you say that I look like my older brother, but now is time to go through this park quickly to get to the place where they're having the celebration."

"Wait a second! There's something written here. Uhm... let's see... "This is the park where cute little white cats gather called "Park Packed with White Cats" (temporary name). This park was built after a certain person's request and it has different types of attractions. Please have fun."

"Look Yuuri! There's something approaching as it walks heavily. It seems to be the guardian deity that protects this park."

"A guardian deity? Isn't it the park's mascot ? Or rather, this huge white cat..... with eyes that cover half of its face, and although it's animal it has very stylish clothes .... I think I've seen it somewhere..... Ah!"

"It has a name tag. Its name is DEJA VU."

"You're right. It's DEJA VU! Ah, no wonder I remembered it .... Ehhh, wait.... it's not NAJABU?"

"Why are you disappointed Yuuri? Let's hurry up. First we have to get through this area. Ah, this is the street where accurate, famous fortune-tellers gather. 'Please buy a ticket at the vending machine and line up.' "

"Ah, you have to buy the ticket at the vending machine. Uhm... 'Two students'. Eh!? Instead of tickets, I got a piece of paper with something written on it."

"What is it? What does it say?"

"...'Your fortune'..."

"...I see. It's because it's a fortune telling machine. "

"Gah! If it wasn't going to sell me tickets, it shouldn't have said I had to buy tickets in the first place!"

"You ended up getting your fortune told instead of just getting the ticket and waiting. Let's hurry up and get to the next area."

"Hm? What's that? It smells sweet and tasty."

" Hey! Why are you smelling me?"

"No, I just thought it was your perfume."

"I don't wear that sort of thing. The explanation is right here. Uhm... 'This is where you can find the most famous jelly desserts in Shin Makoku, this place is called: 'The Dictatorship of Sweets After a Meal.' "

"It's not a republic!?"

" 'The dictator that rules this area is going to force you to eat today's recommended sweet. The guest has to eat it with tears of happiness and gratitude. What the dictator might do to you otherwise, depends on his mood on that day.' "

"Wah! He's like a real dictator. Or rather it's just a 'Pastry Chef Recommendation'. Anyways, is this today's dessert? All right, then, let's eat....! (crack)"

"What's wrong Yuuri? Why are you crying while your teeth are still stuck in the dessert? Oh my! The explanation continues. It says 'This park doesn't have a formal name yet. Do you think you can use your good taste to think of one? For example, "City ○○ (maru-maru)" would be a nice name too, right?' What do you think Yuuri? Do you have any good ideas for the name?"

"W- What tha heck is thiiiiiiiiiis!? (Nanjakoriaaaaaaaaaa) It's harder than stone!!!"

"What? Would you like to call it City Nanja?.... What happened Yuuri!? Why are your gums bleeding even though you didn't bite an apple !?"
