My na is Gastra.
I’m happy because mommy is always taking care of . Whenever I wagged my tail and called out, mommy would imdiately co to pick up and cuddle.
“GAUuuGAUuu!”
Mommy, mommy!
“Yes, I’m coming. Good grief, you’re such a spoiled pup.”
Mommy is kind. She would embrace into her chest just like this. Her sky-colored hair prickles when my tail hits it, but I can’t stop wagging my tail.
I’m just that happy.
It’s been lonely lately ever since dad stopped showing up, but…
I like mom the best. Mostly because dad is black and rugged, and he never hugs . Of course, I love dad too. He would always defeat his enemies with his giant horn and give food.
I have to beco like dad one day.
I haven’t seen Cynthia in a while. It’s a bit worrying.
“Kuu Kuun.”
Mommy, where is Cynthia? I asked, but mom just kept patting until I forgot my worries.
She probably went with dad sowhere.
Oh, I know! They’re probably out on a secret training!
Hmph! She must be planning on growing ahead of , and then gloating over her newfound strength as she wags her tail!
I have to do sothing!
“Ah!”
“GAUGAUuu!”
Mom, I’m going out to train!
◇◆◇
Lately, my surroundings have changed from trees to stones. There were a lot of people like mommy, but they weren’t kind like her. There were even so who tried to hit with a long rod.
I have to teach people like those the pecking order around here.
The strongest is dad, of course, then mom, and then , and lastly, Cynthia.
Cynthia is training by herself though, so she probably intends to overtake .
I went to teach those guys who tried to hit a lesson. There were more of them than the nails on one of my paws. That ans they should be my subordinates!
But even though subordinates are supposed to listen, they ran as soon as they saw . I’m sure it must be because I’m scary!
Cynthia’s scary too when she gets mad.
Enough to make take a step back, that’s why I try not to get mad.
“Kuun, GURUuu”
I won’t do anything. Co here!
I tried calling to one of my subordinates, but he just let out a weird voice and ran away.
Mumumu… That’s odd.
Welp, that’s that. Now, what should I do… I know! Training!
If I’m always here in this stony place, Cynthia will probably leave in the dust. What to do… Well, for the anti, how about making lots of subordinates?
The two-legs aren’t very reliable though. Four-legs are better.
There doesn’t seem to be any around in this stony place though.
Hmm… I’ll try going out!
“*Huff Huff!”
I went around to see if there was a hole sowhere, and… I found one.
I forcefully stuck my head in, and kicked off against the ground with my back legs.
When my head was halfway through, I saw the scenery outside. There was a lot of people.
“GURUuu.”
I kicked off against the ground with my back legs several tis to break through.
When I thought I’d finally broken through, a four-legged sothing suddenly approached, stirring up clouds of dust in its path.
I sohow managed to run away into a narrow space. Not even I could take sothing that big on. Dad might have managed though.
I continued to walk in that dark and narrow space for awhile until I saw a four-legged furball walking.
“Nyaa!”
Its fur stood up! Is it threatening !?
“GURUuRUuu!”
Well, I’m not about to lose. Growling is my specialty. I’ve always been watching Cynthia do it. I’m sure I can do the sa thing!
“Nyaa!?”
The furball was scared when I approached it, and it ca running away.
Mumu, not good!
“GAUu!”
I pushed the furball that tried to run away from behind and pinned it down.
“Nya, Nya nyaa!?”
The furball tried to resist, but I pinned it down with two more of my legs. Eventually, the furball stopped struggling.
“GUu, GAUu!”
When it cald down, I lightly bit it by its ears to ensure that it would be my subordinate after I released it.
“Nyaa!?”
The furball jumped out when I did, and then it started sniffing . Even though it was trying to run away just a little while ago, suddenly, it was even rubbing its body on mine. I traced my paws on its slender tail that was standing.
The nose of the furball was warm as it kept sniffing from the side.
“GAU, GAU!”
Alright, I made a subordinate! I should report to mom!
I took the puzzled furball with to see mom.
◆◇◇
“GAUu, GAUu!”
Mom! Mom!
“Oh, are you back, Gastra?”
“Sigh… It brought sothing weird back…”
I approached mom as she was walking toward that thing called a table and introduced subordinate no. 1.
Mom’s subordinate looked suspiciously at my subordinate.
“GAUu, GAUuuu!”
Aren’t I amazing!? I made my first subordinate!
As I wagged my tail, subordinate no. 1 rubbed from my side.
“…Lady Reshia.”
“You know, Gastra.”
Praise ! Praise !
Mom picked up as usual when I rubbed myself on her feet. But just when I thought she would embrace into her warm chest as usual, mom frowned as she held up.
Huh?
“Gastra, you’re a wolf. Obviously, a cat won’t do, right?”
Cat? Puzzled, I looked down to my subordinate, but it seed just as confused as I was.
Then I was brought down to the ground.
Huh? What about my hug?
Subordinate no. 1 rubbed itself on while I was confused.
“Who would’ve thought Gastra would bring ho an undesirable lover so soon?” Mom’s subordinate looked up to the ceiling.
“GAu?”
You’re a cat? I asked subordinate no. 1.
“Nyaa!”
Who cares if I’m a cat, the cat said as it approached to rub its body on .
“Was the capital a bad influence?” Mom looked confused as she looked at and the cat.
Hey, Mom, what’s a cat!?
Author’s Note:
Gastra’s subordinate is of course a female; a cat by the na of Lelouch, who considers the alley its territory.
Gastra will collect more and more subordinates from here on out, most of whom are… female.
