Description: It's time to say goodbye



A day after Medusa's defeat, Shibusen makes an announcement on the network: BREW is acting up again but instead of bringing new people in, it has created a portal.

It's in the Kishin Chamber, available to anyone who wants to go through it. Anyone who looks into it will see the place they came from, frozen in time. The moment you step through everything resumes and, maybe you'll forget or maybe you won't. Either way, there's no need to hurry right now. Shibusen assures all of you they will keep a sharp eye on BREW's energy readings and tell you the moment anything changes. For now, the portal is stable so take all the time you need to say goodbye and settle everything before you go.

[As they wait for the tea, yes, a conversation would be a nice way to break the small silence between them.]

[While she nods, Amaterasu does look a little sad. It was fun here... death and war aside.]

[loveanddreams]

You get along quite well with the animals here. Do you have many animal friends waiting for you in your own world?

[He sets a cup of tea before her and peeks into one of the pastry boxes. Now which box was the one with the cherry cakes? There were so many it might take a minute to check them all...]

[motherofthesun]

[She can smell all those delicious pastries as Count D looks for the cherry cakes. Really, she wouldn't object to any considering this would be their last moment together in what would be a long time. Still, she does nod in order to answer the question.]

[loveanddreams]

It's unfortunate I won't have a chance to meet them. I am curious how you and the animals of your world would appear if my magic worked.

[Ah, here are the cherry cakes. He puts one on a plate and places it next to her teacup before selecting a chocolatey confection for himself.]

[motherofthesun]

[Oh right, he wasn't present during that whole mishap with BREW. Hm? How they would appear? She shifts on her paws, but appears to be distracted by the cherry cake and tea now presented. Do not mind her digging in.]

[loveanddreams]

[No, he doesn't mind at all even if he is taking little bites of his own cake.]

While most people who visited the shop only saw them as animals, I was able to see their human forms. For instance, Pon-chan who is a raccoon appears as a little girl with blonde curls and a frilly dress.

[motherofthesun]

[Pausing in her nibbling, she was listening. Ah, he could see their human forms. A little girl? How cute... oh, if only she could meet Count D's 'pets'.]

[loveanddreams]

[Talking about animals and eating sweets are among his favorite things so this is perfect.]

I have many pets at the shop, both common and exotic, and I'm sure they would have welcomed you warmly if it were possible for you to visit. There are a lot of cute children like Pon-Chan but also handsome men and beautiful women too. All of them waiting for the perfect owner. Most don't want to leave the shop otherwise.

[motherofthesun]

[Swallowing her piece of cake, she nodded. It made sense; why go with anyone went they want the right one? Though, some people might be a surprise, but D probably understood that. She licked her lips... and took another bite of cake.]

[loveanddreams]

In a way, it's the pets who choose their owners rather than the other way around. A good match can be beneficial to both. They can become like family or perhaps even lovers.

[motherofthesun]

[Amaterasu nods, understanding. The pets would have a better idea of who could take care of them. Instincts and all... though, how many pets have been disappointed?]

[loveanddreams]

But sometimes, the owners neglect to take proper care of their pets and things don't always work out...

[And he'll just leave it at that.]

[motherofthesun]

[Ah, yes. With a sigh, Amaterasu nods. That's an unfortunate thing... she's seen people abandon their pets in the city even. Don't even ask how many times she witnessed this and barked at the humans.]

[loveanddreams]

[It can be a bit more... bloody than just abandonment but no reason to bring that up. Instead he'll sip his tea and continue...]

I do hope that the people who are returning home will take the time to find proper owners for their pets before they leave.

[motherofthesun]

Ruf!

[Don't worry. She'll be seeing to that before heading home.]

[loveanddreams]

Do you intend to help? That's good.

[There are a few small things he needs to do as well before he departs but for now...]

...More cake?

[motherofthesun]

[Her tail smacks against the ground hard as it starts wagging. Yes, yes, yeesss! ... please.]

[loveanddreams]

[He sets out another cherry cake for her and refills her teacup.]

It is going to be the last time we can have tea like this so please have as much as you'd like.

[And so their teatime would go on until it was time to pack up and prepare to return home...]

[motherofthesun]

[Second slice of cake and cup of tea, Amaterasu seems to sigh and nods. There's going to be so much work to do... She was going to miss having tea like this.]
