"What?"

"When did you change your form?" Caitlyn asked. She hopes a lot.

Kitsumi paused for a moment. "It's 10 meters before I get here," he replied.

Caitlyn sighed with disappointment. She looked away in the other direction.

"Why you ask me this?" Kitsumi innocently asked Caitlyn.

"It's nothing," Caitlyn said. She actually wants to hug this little fox. She lied, annoyed, and also disappointed.

I like the furry animals, though.

Kitsumi just blinks. "Um, well, then," he said. He also directs his eyes in the other direction.

There was a silence between the two men. The wind blows and some leaves fall.

"Um," Kitsumi turned toward Caitlyn. "You said you wanted to take me to your village," he said.

Caitlyn just remembered it. She snapped her fingers. "You're right, thank you for reminding me," She immediately stood up.

"Uh, yes, you are welcome ...?" Kitsumi also stand.

"Come on, follow me!" Caitlyn exclaimed. She walks to her village, and Kitsumi follows her from behind.

~~~

"Whoa, human--!" Kitsumi exclaimed incredulously, his mouth wide open.

But before that, Caitlyn covered his mouth. "Be quiet! I don't want anyone to know you're from another world!" she whispered.

Kitsumi responds to her by putting his finger on his lips. "Okay, I'll be quiet," he whispered.

"Now, we go to the park!"

Caitlyn started walking again. Arriving at the park, Caitlyn stops immediately and faces Kitsumi. "Here's the park!" Caitlyn exclaimed.

Kitsumi nodded his head, then looked at all parts of the park.

Caitlyn thought for a moment. "Wait, what's wrong with you?" she asked.

Kitsumi rolled his eyes. He shrugged his shoulders.

Caitlyn remembered the previous incident. Then, she snapped her fingers. "Oh, you can speak now," she said.

"Okay," Kitsumi breathed a sigh of relief.

Caitlyn narrowed her eyes for a moment. "I just told you to be quiet for a while, and lower your voice," Caitlyn said.

Kitsumi blinked. "Oh, is that so ..?" he asked innocently.

"Are you pretending to be innocent or really an innocent boy?" Caitlyn asked irritably.

He muttered a few seconds. "A real...?" He replied innocently.

"Okay, we're back to our previous topic," Caitlyn said. "This is the park." She repeated the previous words. But, it sounds like she's upset.

"Whoaa! Lots of flowers!!" Kitsumi exclaimed, very excited. He ran and threw himself down on a flower bed.

Actually, how old are you, boy? Caitlyn spoke to herself. She followed Kitsumi from behind.

"Hey, hey, you ruined the flowers," she said.

Kitsumi immediately stood up and dusted his clothes. "Ah, sorry, sorry!" Kitsumi said.

What a real innocent,

"We'd better sit on the swing there," Caitlyn pointed at two adjacent swings. Kitsumi nodded and they both walked over there.

They began to swing. Kitsumi can't be stop looking around, and accelerate the swing's speed. And Caitlyn, she just swung slowly.

"Is in your world the flowers are this much?" Caitlyn asked as she watched her reflection moving on the ground.

Kitsumi is still swinging firmly. But, he can reply to her question. "Not at all! Probably, they're just a fraction of here!" His sound broke off because he was swinging.

Caitlyn wondered for a moment after hearing his answer.

Just a fraction, huh?

Hm, though they're rare, they may be even better than here's,

Emit rainbow when they're blooming.

It looks very beautiful.

"WOOHOOOOO!!" Kitsumi exclaimed, and his eyes sparkled. He almost made the swing move 180 degrees. From now on, he kept speeding his swing so it could be like this.

"HEY, IT'S DANGEROUS, YOU KNOW?!" Caitlyn started shouting, and tried to stop Kitsumi's swing.

Slowly but surely, Kitsumi's swing started to stop.

"Whereas, it's very exciting!" Kitsumi yelled. He began to swing slowly.

What are you doing just now, stupid?

Caitlyn facepalmed.

I like to always keep eye on this boy,

I have to keep him busy so he doesn't do any stupid things,

Caitlyn took a breath. She started the conversation with her question, "Is there no swing in your world?" she asked. 

Kitsumi nodded his head firmly. "None at all!" he exclaimed.

No wonder, you immediately did that,

"My activity is only reading books in the library," Kitsumi said.

Caitlyn was shocked, her eyes bulging.

What?

Reading?

Which books have you read, but you are still just innocent like this?
