Together We Make A Clover.

Chapter 72: Usagi.

Crying.

All I was doing was crying my eyes out as I hugged this new and precious little puppy in my arms while they licked my continuous falling tears. My brain chemistry was completely stunt as I knew this wasn't Eri but my heart couldn't let go of the emotion that this was Eri reincarnated and brought back to me. I was in such a conflicting state that all I could do was cry. Some people in the room expressed their emotions as they cried along with me, showed their concern yet wholesome reactions and other's genuinely felt happy for me since they knew this gift was the one that would "break me" in a positive way.

Yuno and Asta eventually came up to me. Asta was a total mess with huge tears running down his face. He gave me a tight hug as we cried together and hugged my new puppy. Yuno looked at us with a warm smile and stated while patting my head.

Yuno: You guys are such babies *chuckles*.

I started to finally calm down as I let out small little *hiccups* like a child does after they had just finishing crying. Asta had a booger hanging from his nose as he then blew it into a handkerchief.

[Where did he get one?? I need one!]

Me: *sniffly* Thank you. *looks at everyone* Thank you guys so much...I—I have no idea what to say or do. I'm utterly lost for words and I, am truly grateful. *to Asta and Yuno* And to you two, I owe you all so much. It's like, I have my little Eri again. *sniffles*

Yuno: That was kinda the idea.

Me: *still lost* How? How in the hell did you guys find a puppy that looked like Eri??

Yuno: *petting puppy* I sorta just stumbled upon her. I was on guard duty by the forsaken realm when I noticed her roaming in the trees. She stood out completely because of her white fur and when I flew closer, I was stunned. I swear I thought I was hallucinating because she looks so much like Eri when you two had came to Hage. Once I got on the ground, I was trying to be careful not to startle her but, she came to me very willingly. I couldn't believe it, she was so real and so obedient. I knew it wasn't Eri for obvious reasons and she looks biblically identical to her, however, there is something about her that is entirely different. Like her aura seems more mysterious while Eri just felt like any normal living thing.

Me: I understand what you mean. But in a weird way though, she seems extensively familiar to me like almost my "soul" is connected to her.

Asta: It could be that Eri might have some spiritual connection through her to get to you, you get me?

Yuno: That sounds like a load of crap.

Asta: *offended* Oh! But her having a "mysterious aura" doesn't sound crazy??

Yuno: It seems more logical than what you said, dorksta.

Asta: Oh! So We Are Gona Do This Again??

Me: *laughing* They kinda both make sense to me. I want to believe that what you guys said is true. *smiles gratefully* Thank you both so much. *thinking* But I do have a question, how did I not see her in your room or hear her bark?

Asta: I can answer that! *clear throat* Yuno immediately called me to take care of her until we had this party. Thankfully everyone helped me with her.

Vanessa: She's actually the sweetest puppy and listens ever so well.

Noelle: I was surprised how refined she was for a stray dog.

Magna: That sounds so bad!

Just then the puppy barked happily while her tail wagged.

Me: She seems happy with everyone which means you guys all treated her extremely well. Thank you guys! *innocent* But, where am I suppose to have her? I kinda feel bad to leave her alone at the church if I just got her.
