Ari Wants to Keep a Slime
I was worried… but also kinda startled.
Because I saw Ari’s panties.
Man, so cute. Those’ve gotta be training pants.
Me? I’m wearing normal underwear. *Ahem.*
I’m the big brother, after all.
Gotta go over to Ari, who’s in Marle’s arms.
“Ari, you okay?”
She was holding back tears.
Her eyes were filled to the brim.
Ugh, those teary eyes… they really tug at your protective instincts.
But… what’s this feeling? A bad premonition.
I’ve gotta comfort her.
“Come here, Ari.”
I spread my arms and waited.
Ari, still in Marle’s arms, reached out to me.
Marle bent her knees and gently set Ari down in front of me.
Ari clung to me.
“That hurt, didn’t it? But you held it in, didn’t you? Good job, Ari. You mustn’t run, okay? Listen properly next time.”
“Okaaay… Onii~chama… Ari not crying… Ari holding it in… Ari did good?”
“Yeah, yeah.”
I hugged her tight as she looked like she might cry any second.
Ari grabbed onto the back of my shirt with both hands.
Alright, she seemed okay. Thank goodness.
… That’s what I thought, but still, burned into my mind, clear as day…
Ari’s training pants were pink…
Ari, hope you graduate from training pants soon.
Normal underwear is way more comfortable, you know~
I’ll preach it all day. This is important.
Ari wears training pants.
I wear normal underwear.
It’s important, so I’ll say it twice.
Ari wears training pants.
I wear normal underwear.
Just that alone made me feel like I preserved my dignity as the big brother. Right?
Ah, right!
Captain Luke’s been apologizing this whole time, it’s not his fault.
“Hey, Captain Luke, you were calling us earlier, right? What was it?”
“Ah, yes. I found this just now… here.”
“What’s this?”
Weren’t you about to cry just a second ago, Ari? Heeey, Ari?
“This is a slime. A weak monster. Easy to catch. Even small children can defeat it. Young Master Kaito, would you like to try defeating it?”
Vice-Captain Hans is really pushing it, huh.
So this is a slime.
“Can I touch it?”
I wanna try touching it. What’s it feel like?
“It’s fine. Do you see the eye and mouth in the center? As long as you don’t touch the core, it’s safe to touch the rest.”
“Ohh, Vice-Captain Hans, you know a lot.”
“N-no, not really…”
Oh, you’re not exactly denying it, huh? Your nostrils are flaring.
“Is it scary?”
“It’s perfectly safe. Look, I’ll touch the edge here, see? It’s fine.”
“Ari wants to touch it!”
Ah~ her eyes are sparkling like crazy.
“I’ll touch it too!”
Oh~ this thing’s all squishy.
This is fun.
“Onii~chama, it’s fun!”
“Yeah, it is!”
“Well then, shall we say goodbye to the slime soon?”
“No!”
Huh? Ari, what’s wrong?
“Ari wants to keep the slime.”
Eh? Eh!? Wait… what!?
“Why?”
“Because it’s cute. Can’t we?”
Ahh, there it is~ Mama’s signature move.
Seriously… Luke, Hans, Marle… and just now, someone over there went, “Ugh, so cute,” right? I heard that, even if it was quiet.
You’re there, right? Even if I can’t see you, are you a Shadow? There are Shadows here, right?
Wait, isn’t it bad if I notice them?
“First, we must obtain Master’s permission. Do you think Master would say no? I don’t believe he would… no, he might not be able to. After all, it’s such an adorable request from the Ojousama.”
Marle, you really know Papa well. As expected.
“Then I shall go secure Master’s permission. For Milady’s sake, I, Luke, will surely persuade him. Could you wait here?”
Honestly, I kinda want one too.
““Okay!””
Yeah, Ari and I gave a perfect reply.
“““““““““Ugh♡”””””””””
… Hey, is everyone okay?
Um~ whoever just brought the rope from the mansion, you’re standing there stunned, huh? You’ll be fine.
Because cute is justice! Right?
