Intermission: Tama
Wagahai is Tama de Aru¹, the na given by master.
Tama has a family nyan.
A really strong and kind master, and Pochi who’s like a little sister and Liza who’s like a mother. And also cheeky Arisa and docile Lulu. Everyone is not a cat-person, but they’re all important family nyan.
Arisa said that if I use, "Nyan", master will be happy, but it’s a lie. Far from being happy, he’s worried instead.
"Okay~ Here we go~. Everyone, follow ~."
Arisa is leading the way while running. Today is a shopping day.
New clothes! Fluttering and fluffy, cute clothes with no weird sll.
"If Pochi was to wear this clothes then Tama would be cool with this sharp one I guess?"
"This ribbon is better~?"
Not the one that Arisa recomnds, but the matching one with Pochi with a small ribbon attached is what I want.
"Ara? That’s unexpected, you like cute things huh~."
I don’t know how to use money, so it’s Arisa who buys it.
After the shopping is over, we eat a lot and lot of ats with the leftover money. I am very happy.
We pass by a park, I see a nice sunny spot for napping, then I notice master there.
"Master~?"
I run to him to talk, he looks in pain sowhere.
Pochi who runs with together looks worried too.
"Tummy hurt~?"
"I’m alright, I might be tired though."
Master says so while patting my head. I want to be patted more, I rub my head against master’s hand.
◇
The outside! I’m going outside the city for the first ti.
Arisa asks, "Didn’t you live outside the city when you were small?", but I only rember the winter chill and the warmth of soone’s fur.
Alhough I clearly rember the ti when I t Pochi, I don’t really rember past things.
Pochi wasn’t able to speak words and just groaned with, "Gururu~", but I worked hard to teach her words. Since I’m the onee-chan.
The wagon is shaking here and there, it’s fun. Since Arisa and Lulu cry their butts hurt, I ask, "Are you okay~?". Arisa screams back, "Nothing is impossible with human’s intelligence!", but I don’t really understand the aning. Arisa’s words are fun, but I always don’t understand them. She’s a strange child.
Arisa teaches many things. [Janken], [Guppa], [Hopping], [Card play], [Anisong], a lot, lots of things.
Next ti, if I catch a prey, I’ll give it to Arisa.
The scenery is flowing while I’m sitting beside master, it’s fun. Pochi also sits beside master on the other side.
"Nya!"
Just now, a prey is in that thicket!
I tried to jump out, but Liza gripped my girdle so I wasn’t able to jump out. Too bad.
The wagon shakes and Arisa complains. Even though wagons are for shaking things, Arisa is really strange.
Pochi counterattacks Arisa who rides on her head. Uu~ I want to join in. But, I’m the onee-chan so I’ll endure. Uu~, endure... impossble nyan♪
I play with Pochi and Arisa until Liza stops us.
◇
Uu~, I catch glimpse of many preys.
But, until master has ordered , endure it, endure.
"Private Pochi! Private Tama!"
"Ay!"
"Yes nanodesu!"
I take on the pose Arisa has taught yesterday, "Swoosh!", and answer master.
"I will assign you two a mission! Check the security around the periter of the boulders!"
"Ay!""Desu!"
I chase after a rabbit that I’ve had my eyes on since earlier with Pochi.
The rabbit is hopping around with, "Pyon pyon"-like sound.
Pochi and are running together.
It’s slower than monsters nyan.
I throw myself.
Pyon pyon.
Nyau, it ran away.
Pyo~n.
Pochi jumps on it.
The rabbit twists its body and slips underneath Pochi.
I won’t let you run!
Tou!
But the rabbit dives into a hole hidden in the grass’ shadow.
Uu~, if I go there, the clothes given by master will be dirtied.
However, Pochi plunges into the hole without hesitation.
I’m the onee-chan after all, I’ll give this rabbit to Pochi.
I catch a snake loitering around under the rock. It’s a snake with no poison and delicious.
But, it’s a bit small. I look for the next prey while twirling my tail around, and co across Arisa who’s looking for firewoods.
"Arisa~?"
"Ara, Tama. Hmm? What are you holding?"
"Snake~"
That’s right, let’s give it to Arisa.
It’s a bit small, but it’s good for snacks.
"For you~?"
"Wa, no, don’t co here."
"Not poison~?"
Even though it’s not a snake with poison, so it’s fine.
Now, Arisa, go ahead and chew it from the head without reserve.
"Wa, toss it away."
"Pow~?"
"Yes, turn around. spin and spin~, then throw it with a pow."
"Ay~."
As Arisa says, I spin and spin~ and throw it.
Seems that it’s a new play, but I don’t understand the fun.
"Yes, that’s good."
Arisa crosses her arms and nods with, uh-huh. Seems it was correct.
Arisa pick a firewood on her foot and go back to master.
Next, for the sake of master, I’ll look for a bigger prey.
I chase after a dragonfly.
I chase after a cricket.
I found it.
Conceal myself~, tou!
I pin the prey from behind, and it faints just from that.
Weak~?
Even though it’s a present for master, but I’m told, "Let it go."
Even though, it’s a big prey~.
But, it’s an order from master, Tama will listen to what he says.
I spin and spin~ like Arisa taught and toss it away.
I was scolded by master.
I must tell Arisa that it’s bad to lie.
Because I’m the onee-chan.
1. TLN: This is impossible to tl for without losing the humor. Dearu is like nanodesu, no particular aning and definitely not her na. :p
