Part 10
—Being blessed with the glow of the full moon, the chicks of the Stymphalians were gradually hatching from their shells.
The banquet that was held in blessing for the entrance of their new comrades was also filled with laughter.
And among the noises, there was the sound of a pitiful wail as there was an Usagimimi girl who was being pecked by a newly hatched chick—-Kuro Usagi.
“No, cannot! There are many drunk and wasted adults who are intoxicated by alcohol on the outside! To allow you all who are newly hatched to go out is a big no, no!”
{“I don’t care~! People want to go out, you Oppai Rabbit~!”}
{“If you don’t allow me to go out, I will spit poison okay?! I will be cursing you at the top of my voice you hear?!”}[10]
{“If you don’t want to let us out, at least squeeze some milk out for us, Gu heh heh.”} [11]
“Wait, a moment, spitting poison is that sort of meaning?! And who was the child who made that sort of age inappropriate comment?!”
*Uwaa!!* Kuro Usagi’s usagimimi stood on ends in anger. But the unruly chicks were completely without the intent to quieten down.
Even if she were a [Moon Rabbit]— sung by bards to be innocent, romantic, good natured and honest, and a race that is symbolic of its selflessness, there was still a limit to the patience.
Kuro Usagi was played around like a nursery teacher and it took her much effort to get the chicks to sleep.
Finally, when all the chicks were sound asleep, Kuro Usagi dropped her Usagimimi in exhaustion.
“Fi, Finally they are asleep. When compared to these chicks, Izayoi-san and the others are still much better to deal with……”
“Ho? Those words, I just cannot let them slide by my ears.”
*Eiya*?! Kuro Usagi’s usagimimi jumped in surprise and as she turned to look behind her, she was faced with a trio of children who were emanating some seriously evil aura as they gazed pointedly at her with those dazzling smiles.
Or perhaps it should be said to be staring.
“Is that so? I guess our pranks are just nothing different from those of newborn kids huh?”
“…… Well then, from today onwards, we must work hard to polish our skills making pranks.”
“No, that is not needed. There is no need for it at all!!”
Kuro Usagi took out a folded fan to slap their heads.
Meanwhile, the days for the hair on those usagimimi to drop completely might just be coming close due to the pangs of hunger that she was experiencing.
Having teased Kuro Usagi to the level that they found acceptable, the trio exchanged looks before presenting the food that they brought from the banquet.
“Here’s something to reward your efforts.”
“We are going back tomorrow, so have something to eat for now.”
“But if you don’t want to eat, I can…”
“Kasukabe-san, please show some restrain.”
Asuka swiftly rebutted Yō’s words.
Kuro Usagi’s eyes sparkled as she dashed towards them for the meal.
(It’s just as Kuro Usagi thought, they are much gentler than the chicks.)
Kuro Usagi waved her usagimimi elatedly as she drank the warm and steaming soup.
Izayoi sat by the side chewing a meat jerky as he looked at the skies.
Watching the bright full moon, he whispered, seemingly lost in his memories.
“……Word of our name is gradually spreading around. Perhaps it’s about time to increase the propaganda efforts.”
“Hehe, that’s right. I also feel that it’s time to officially start some activities as a Community.”
“Mhm. With that…… we will definitely find the path to recover our Community’s lost [Flag] and [Name].”
The trio looked at each other and nodded in affirmation. And Kuro Usagi’s eyes were shining with reflected tears as she watched her dependable comrades.
(Bringing enemy Demon Lords to justice and retrieving our glory…… as long as everyone’s here, it will surely succeed.)
Placing her hands on her chest, she hugged the warmth given to her by her comrades.
Seemingly spurred by that piece of warmth, Kuro Usagi stood up in enthusiasm.
“Okay, here’s to everyone for completing the game successfully! Although it might be an overstep of bounds, please allow Kuro Usagi to lead the toast!”
“ “ “Aiye—” ” ”
“Okay, then let’s, Oi, can’t Kuro Usagi do the honors?!”
Kuro Usagi drooped her Usagimimi as she seemed hurt from their reactions.
But the trio immediately exchanged a look as they stole a laugh from the reaction.
“Mah, Kuro Usagi didn’t really take much of the spotlight this time. I guess this sort of role can be left to you.”
“Yep, this sort of thing is best left with you.”
“Let’s go, Kuro Usagi.””[12]
Following that, the trio raised their cups for the signal. Kuro Usagi immediately raised her Usagimi and raised her cup poised to clink it with the others.
“Then, let’s have a toast to the prosperity of us [NoName]—”
“ “ “KanPai![13]” ” ”
“KanPai, Waaah, you guys still didn’t allow Kuro Usagi to say it in the end!!!!”
Kuro Usagi tearfully ran to join the problem children trio as they clinked their glasses.
Bathing in the radiant glow of the full moon.
The hopeful victors have gathered for a celebratory feast that continued into late night as they prayed for a radiant future.
