Zinogre Hero

Chapter 28

Morning came the next day as everyone started to go about their day. Hayato along with Miu Akisame was eating breakfast while Shigure, Kensei, Sakaki, and Appachai had already eaten and left. Miu was still worried as she hope that Kiyata would've come out of his room and eat with them.

Akisame: Are you alright, Miu?

Miu: Yeah. Though I'm still worried about Kiyata.

Hayato: I'm sure he'll be fine. Said smiling. He manage to come out of his room last night.

Akisame: Is that so?

Miu: Yeah, but he was still scared. Plus, he was afraid of being taken away.

Akisame: I see. I guess he is rather scared of being treated how he was before.

Miu nodded in response.

Hayato: Don't worry. He won't be taken away. Said smiling. I'll make sure nothing will happen.

Miu: Thanks.

They continued to eat as Akisame looked behind him sensing something.

Hayato: Well now, seems like he's managed to come out on his own.

Miu looked to see the door sliding open slightly as Kiyata nervously peeked his head in.

Miu: Kiyata.

Kiyata whimpered slightly rather unsure of what to do. Akisame smiled as he grabbed the bowl of rice from Kiyata's spot and placed it near the door.

Akisame: If you want more, then you'll have to sit at the table. Said smiling.

Kiyata looked at him for a moment before looking at the rice bowl. His stomach growled as he started to eat the nice bowl. Miu was rather happy to see this as were Hayato and Akisame. After he finished the rice bowl, he slowly walked inside and sat at the table.

Hayato: It's good to see you managed to come out of your room.

Kiyata nodded in response as he was still rather unsure if he should've or not.

Kiyata: Nervous. Unsure.

Akisame: It'll be alright. You don't need to worry.

Kiyata didn't say anything as he was still unsure about everything. However, his stomach growled as he started to eat his food. Everyone smiled seeing this as they continued to eat their food. Once they had finished, Miu grabbed her school bag and put her shoes on.

Miu: Alright. I'll be back once I'm done with school.

Kiyata looked at her with his ears flopped down with a sad expression on his face. Miu looked at Kiyata as she knelt in front of him and place her hand on his head.

Miu: Everything is going to be alright.

Kiyata: But.

Miu: Just relax. As long as Grandpa is around nothing bad will happen to you. Said petting him.

Kiyata stayed quiet as his tail wagged slightly.

Miu: I have to go now. Make sure you don't get into trouble, alright? Said smiling.

Kiyata nodded in response as Miu left. After she left, he looked at the ground rather worried about how his classmates will think about him.

???: Still worried about how your classmates feel about you?
