NUKO

The creature that landed in Yuri's arms had a pure white body, and only a pair of eyes and a small mouth could be seen on its sleek little head, and four small short legs were long on the same smooth body, and the whole felt like a sausage with eyes, mouth, and limbs.

"Oops! This guy is quite lively! Yuri said as she lay on the ground and looked at the creature writhing in her hands.

"You~~ It's okay!" Chinoha asked with concern when he saw Yuri who had been knocked to the ground by a white creature.

"It seems to be fine~~," Yuri said, holding the creature's torso with both hands.

"What the hell is this? It really doesn't look like a fish............ It feels like I've seen it in a book...... Could this be neko? Chiho said as he looked at the creature that stopped struggling and looked at himself.

'………… Is this creature actually a cat? Anyway, a thousand years have passed, have cats become like this? This is against the sky! The boy looked at the creature in Yuri's hand and complained silently in his heart.

“neko? …… Very good! Let's eat it! Yuri said as she looked at the cat in her hand.

"Hey! Wait a minute............ "What do you want to say......

“…… Slightly...... Wait...... Next ......"

"Huh? Anyway, there was a sound coming out of this machine just now, right? Chiho said as he looked at the radio hanging on Yuri's chest.

"Huh? Sound? Yuri looked down at the radio curiously.

"Huh...... ......"The radio repeats again in fits and starts, what Yuri said.

"Did I hear that this time? But what's going on? The boy looked at Yuri's radio and the little beast in her hand, and had a bold idea.

"Could it be that this guy is talking?" Qianhu said in surprise.

"This cat?" Yuri raised the beast in her hand.

'Huh~~~ It turns out that cats thousands of years later can talk through the radio! It's amazing, after all, it's been a thousand years! It's not that the cat owners can speak............ How is it possible to understand! Haven't I woken up yet? Or is it just a dream from the beginning of the crossing to the present? So...... Just pinch your thigh and you'll wake up! I pinch...... Didn't wake up? It must be not strong enough! I'm pinching............ It hurts! I haven't woken up yet............ It won't be ............'

"Fubo-chan? You okay? Your face didn't look good from the very beginning. Yuri asked with concern, interrupting the boy's inner complaint.

"Huh............ It's okay! It's just a little tired. The young man said perfunctorily while quietly rubbing his numb thighs in pain.

"I don't know if it's a cat, but it's probably the creature in front of me talking!" Senhe continued.

After hearing this, Yuri turned the head of the creature in her hand back to herself and asked:

"Hey! neko (romanized for cat), are you a cat? ”

“……………… nu......" The little beast's mouth moved.

“nu?”

“…… nuko。 The little beast uttered the word as the three of them watched.

"It says it's called Nuko!" Yuri turned to Chiho and said.

"It's just repeating what you said, isn't it?" Qianhu complained.

"It says it's called Nuko......" The little beast said on the radio again, but more fluently than before.

"What should I do?" Yuri asks about Chinoto and the boy.

"Are you going to roast?" She then asked.

“nu?”

The little beast also looked at Chito with a puzzled expression, completely unaware that Yuri Grylls, who was holding him, was going to roast and eat it.

"Wait......"

"Wait?" The little beast tilted its head.

"Sure enough, it's better to leave it alone......" Chido looked at the little beast in Yuri's hand again and made a conclusion.

"Huh??? Why? Yuri asked, puzzled.

"Give it to me......" Chido said as he stretched out his hand to Yuri.

“…… Hi! Yuri honestly put the little ** in her hand over.

"It can speak, how can it bear to eat it?" Qianhu hugged the little beast and said.

"Whoa............ Is this empathy? Yuri asked.

"Well! That's it! After saying that, Qianhu put the little beast on the ground.

“nu! nu~~~~~~" The little beast touched the ground and froze for a moment, then screamed and happily ran to the bottom of the base of the multiple rocket launcher and hid.

"Let's go! We're going to collect bullets............ "Chiho walked to the other side after doing the great act of releasing the life.

“…… Good bye! Yuri glanced at the place where the beast was hiding again, and then said goodbye freely.

"But............ I look like I've seen this creature somewhere before............" The boy said as he looked at what was happening in front of him.

"Huh? Could it really be a cat? Yuri was surprised.

"Nope! Definitely not! My impression of a cat is a cute creature with fluffy triangular ears and a soft and flexible tail that meows! This guy is cute, but he's definitely not a cat! The boy said frantically.

"Hahaha...... Ukiba-chan's expression is so funny! It's the first time I've seen Ukiba-chan like this............" Yuri said with a smile.

"Ahem! …… Only...... It's just that some of them have been fed a handful of poison by reality! The boy said with a red face.

While the boy was talking to Yuri, the little beast that had been hiding seemed to have a sense of dependence on the three of them, and it climbed out of its pedestal and carefully followed them.

"Huh?" Yuri, who walked at the end, looked at the little beast behind her curiously, and turned her head to continue walking without showing any performance.

The little beast continued to follow on cute little short legs.

"Hey!" Yuri called out to her companion in front of her.

"Huh?"

"What's going on?"

The two who turned around asked.

"It seems to be keeping up!" Yuri said.

"nu~" The little beast looked at the three people who stopped motionlessly.

"Hmm............" Qianhu was a little overwhelmed.

"What should I do?" Yuri continued.

"Do you have any opinions?" Chito couldn't make up his mind and asked the young man behind him.

"It's all up to you!" The boy kicked the ball back again.

"Hmm~~~~" Qianhu could only watch the little beast distressed.

"nuyi~~" The little beast also began to look at Qianhu, a tall fellow with eyes similar to himself.

A man and a beast looked at each other for a long time, and finally ended with a sigh from a thousand households. I saw that Chito finally ran to the little beast as if he had made up his mind and picked it up.

"Huh? Do you really want to eat it? Yuri said.

"Not really!" Qianhu said speechlessly.

"Is it for adoption?" The boy asked.

"Hmmm! How so? Aren't we always losing, and I think it would be nice to add something once in a while! Qianhu looked at the little beast and said.

“nuyi!” The little beast also seemed to know that he would not be alone, and happily circled around Qianhe's neck.

"Hey, hey! It seems to want to follow us......" Yuri said happily.

"We've got one more member!" The boy also said with a smile.

"Whoa." Yuri felt her hands sink.

"Sure enough, let's let You take it!" Chinohe said as he handed the little beast into Yuri's arms.

"It's kind of scary......" she said.

"Huh? It's so cute! Yuri said, staring at the little beast in her arms.

“nu!” The little beast shuddered as if sensing the predator's gaze.

"It's so soft~~," Yuri said as she rubbed her cheek against the little beast.

"Don't bully her too much...... "Chido turned around and said with some reluctance.

"nu~nuyi~~~~," the little beast let out a groan of pain.

"Hahahaha......" Yuri let out a laugh like a strange uncle with a look of enjoyment.

"Ahh I finally remembered! The boy called out suddenly.

"What?" The girls stopped and looked at the boys.

"Stone statues! Stone! The boy shouted.

"Stone statues?" Chiho and Yuri spoke in unison.

"Didn't we come across a temple before?" The boy said.

“………… Whoa, whoa, whoa! That's it! Yuri suddenly realized.

"And then?" Qianhu is still a little confused.

"Look closely at this little one...... Isn't there any association? The boy asked.

After hearing this, the two girls turned their eyes to the little beast.

“nu?” The little beast was stared at a little overwhelmed.

"Ahh Yuri shouted.

“…… Kind of like that! Chiho also nodded.

"Na! That's right. The boy continued.

"So............" Yuri held the beast up in front of her.

"Is it God?" She continued.

"At least it should be the prototype of the stone statue!" The boy said.

"Oh oh! Stone! Yuri excitedly held the beast aloft.

"nuyi~~" the little beast cried out in fear.

"Hey! Be respectful of the gods! Otherwise, beware of God's damnation! Chiho admonished.

"It's okay............ Yes! It's so soft............" Yuri rubbed the little beast against her face again.

“nu!?”

Chiho suddenly took the little beast from Yuri's clutches.

"I'm going to give her a name!" She said.

"How's Kami?" Yuri said, holding up her fingers.

"Hmm! It doesn't feel good. "Chiho denied it.

"I think it's better to call her nuko!" The teenager suggested.

"Nuko............" Yuri pondered for a moment with her hands on her chest.

"It's called nuko!" Chiho decided on the little beast without waiting for Yuri to express her opinion, no! It should be the name of nuko.

"You'll be called nuko from now on!" Yuri said as she took Nuko from Chito's hand.

“nuko! nuko! Nuko shouted happily.

"Looks like she likes the name too!" The boy smiled and looked at Nuko, who was learning to raise Yuri's forelimbs and cheer.
