"Puppies""Funaho's litter"
After preparing for the brief return to Jurai, Yosho came back to Funaho. He transferred to the hall where the Royal tree Funaho was located, he found Airi there.
'What are you doing?' asked Yosho.
Around Funaho, there was dozens of puppies running all about and in the middle was Airi in delight. Yosho walked up to her.
'-Er.'
'Oh. At last you're back,' said Airi in a cold voice. 'I believed that you would have noticed earlier. Didn't we darlings?'
It was like a wife complaining to her husband who was busy with his work and did not care much of his wife. Of course as a 13 years old boy, Yosho was not able to understand what she wanted him to say and Airi also did not expect him to know. It was just like a joke that she would on to a younger boy.
'I am sorry. Are these puppies Funaho's?' asked Yosho.
'Yes, that's right. I wanted to try it once. You were late so I though it would be a nice chance,' said Airi giggling and hugging one of the puppies which Funaho mimicked. Funaho was reacted her emotion of joy, and all the puppies started running all about, then suddenly dashed up to Airi and Yosho. the enormous number of puppies covered them.
'No, Funaho! Stop!' cried out Yosho.
'Hahahahahahahahahaha------------!!' laughed Airi.
To the soft touch of the puppies and the tickling emotions pulsed from Funaho, Airi turned into trance condition. Covered by the puppies, the two of them slightly touched each other.
"I will not forget this", thought Airi, "I will not forget this until he will comes back, half a year from.".
