Side story 5/7: The Kotasu shamble

[Later that day? Or a few days later? The camera is back on.]

The Myth team is back, full in numbers. They are in an unspecific room (dormitory room perhaps?) remade into a living room as if they will be in some small house. The Meow Gura was still in her cat girl form, currently resting (sleeping like a cat) on top of Kotasu. [Short height table with thick all around blanked and radiator heater installed on bottom side to heat the legs during cold time.] The cat-girl even twitched her cat ear once as she was a peaceful roll on the table. The rest of the girls siting behind the table observed the little cat-shark-girl creature.

Amelia was starting getting worry. "It was a while, but Gura is still a cat. How long she will stay like this?"

Kiara who overhear that makes a smart comment. "Oh, whats the matter? Are you finally tired of petting her? Especially under her chin?" As Blonde jump up a little, to tease her friend the Orange girl start making goro, goro, sounds as if she cat-purr while being scratched.

But it was Ina'nis who get instant blush and was unable to hold her (ink) nosebleed.

.

On contrast Watson, keeping her blush under control, hold her ground. "She sleeping too much! Like over a half of the day, and I am worried. What if she stays like this for real? What if something happens and she will fall into a hibernation, or something worse?"

This time it was Ninomae who speak up from science point of view. "Don't worry about it. Both Gura and her cat are lazy. So, she just in such Zens balance that she doesn't have motivation or time limit to undo it. I am sure, that when there will be a need, she will be back on no time. Just believe in her."

But once again, that nearly innocent commentary trigger a response from Mori who bark. "Oh no! I cut that shit the first moment it will be needed! And one chop slap will be enough." Because others asked the Rapper: (Why? What's wrong? What's her problem?) She frowned at them. "Listen up, you don't understand the density of skull in Gura's bone head... Let me then explain: Once she was tasked to make a delivery across the ocean. But she was late with it by a centuries. It will be okay if she lost the package due random reasons. Or she will forget that she had a delivery. But no-ooo,... no-oooooo, she got lost." Even remembering at what happened, force the pink one to facepalm herself. "All that because on certain landmark, she decide make turn to side, and actually stray from correct path. When she en-cycled it back and reached that land mark once again,... she does it again. And this happened... like four times in row. When fifth round was going to happen, I Fooking blow that rock to pieces, so nothing was left... Not meeting that landmark, she finally continued on the correct path, and finally finished that dam delivery."

Hearing that story Ninomae got nostalgic. "There was even lots of complains about destruction of that mountain." She looks up not looking at the ceiling of they room, but soon as she notices that Watson turned her head toward her, she hastily added: "I read about it."

But Takanashi was hesitant. "A-- actually, I have a note to it to. In one of mi life cycle's, I meet Gura on her journey going in certain direction, on her way to her destination. Then on another one, I meet her again, on the same place going in the same direction, going to the same destination. At that time I was thinking she go there again. If-- if she actually tells me that she's lost, I will probably give her a better instruction how to get there."

.

Amelia had a puzzling expression. "Wait for moment,-- you said it take her a centuries? What she was doing all that time? Traveling around the world? It clearly shall not take so long. How's that even possible?"

Calliope seems to calm herself down. "She calls it: a strolling. It's not something so unimaginable to do. When you look at it, Its really only an angle of perspective. You to, have something, that even we consider out of place."

Ina'nis was lost in reminiscing. "Well, that festival type after party as celebration of finally made the delivery done; was from my point of view pretty out of pace." When she again notices Watson glare, she added again; that she read about it.

Kiara suddenly remembering at something good from that period of time was hardly hold her giggling. "Well, the reason for the party was quite a silly one. But Gura totally ruled most of the party games they had." Then she redirected her tricky cat glance on Rapper. "On other hand,-- someone else, was ruling on opposite end of the score board." Mori make a sour expression on that comment, on which Takanashi giggled once again.

.

It was only a moment when this meeting of the Myth girls reached its end. The blushed pink girl decide to leave, followed by orange one. Then the other two decided it was time to go for them too and left too.

And so, the girls left the living room.

Except for Meow Gura.

.

As some saying goes, cats have a very soft sleep, so they are partially awake and asleep at the same time. The saying even says that Cats do not sleep, cats are conscious.

And this sleeping cat, on instant received a divine Inspiration: In mere of blink of our eye, she had fully open both of her eyes. It take second, two, but she looks at camera and spoke without any sing of sleepiness. "I have an idea. The origin of meow Gura, I shall (cannon it). Hmmm." As she thinks about it, she makes a mischievous face. "And I know, where to get it."

.

.

Scene moved somewhere else, maybe on hallway somewhere inside that house or dormitory, as Gura was standing in front of a locked door. As her shadow was dropping on the door, there was a note with message: "Ame science stuff. Don't touch it! Don't mess with it! Especially you Gura!!" It was clearly some type of storage room or workshop that shall stay restricted without a supervision. But pick-lock tool in cat girl hand was giving a hint, that the story will go differently.

.

.

[A few minutes later. … Okay!! a bit more, that a few minutes; later.]

.

Scene is back in that small living room, camera focused on Meow Gura. The cat-shark-girl calls out onto the entire house with lovely sweet voice. "Oh, ChaD ku-uuuu-n ♪, I have a burning warm present for you-uuu!! ♪"

A response arrived from somewhere form that building that was clearly a calling from chat. Full of naive expectation for romance as it was heard from his singing voice. "I comi-iiiiii-ng!! ♪"

But what's ChaD dint knew is, that the cat girl is not the only one there. Positioned in the middle of the room, supported by its wooden carriage wells; was a half meter high, and one meter long, cylindrical bronze canon for iron balls shaped ammunition. Like the one you will see in movies about renaissance pirates and they naval battles. They used gunpowder, fire ignition flintlock and manual loading. The canon is set up, armed and aimed at the door. The petite Gura had one foot up, pressed on it from behind to hold it on place. And as a final touch; she holds the knot string to the fire trigger mechanism. As she heard chat approaching, she makes a mischief grin and declaration. "He, He. Meme loaded."

.

[A semi loud cannon explosion, echoed into the air.]

.

.

Later the quartet commented the (incident).

Ninomae sounded proud. "Look at her, how cute little naughty devil she is."

Mori sounded like (I told ya!). "Don't know what ChaD was expecting? Shes a cat now, she does random stuff."

Takanashi already looked at it from different angle. "Ame, why do you have a canon in first place?"

And Watson shouted: "For science!!"
