The Heart - 4

[Park]

Hill myna: Kyuu-chan!

Chi: Run away already... If you don't, I'll have to capture you...

Hill myna: Kind heart!

Chi: What? What are they teaching their bird...

Hill myna: Kind heart! Good heart!

Chi: ...I don't have a big heart. It's small and twisted, I can't be kind to others. My heart is no good...

Hill myna: Sorry! Sorry!

Chi: ...Pfft, what are you apologising for? Heh, hahaha!

Wak: Chikage, are you laughing?

Chi: N-Nogi-san!? Eavesdropping... You're just like your descendants!

Wak: You're the one who started talking to it all of a sudden! I just came here to find the bird!

Hill myna: Let's get along!

Chi/Wak: Eh?

Hill myna: Kyuu-chan! Treasure! Let's get along!

Wak: Kyuu-chan... Is that what your owner said? That you're their treasure and they want to get along?

Chi: Sounds like my idea was completely mistaken... Um, Nogi-san...

Hill myna: Sorry!

Chi: Huh!? W-Well... It was unbecoming of me to keep being angry at you...

Wak: No, I should be apologising. I kept fanning the flames. Sorry. However...

Wak: I don't think of you as a small-hearted person. I'm sure nobody else does either.

Chi: S-So you were listening!

Wak: Your self-esteem is too low.

Chi: I was telling the truth. There isn't anything I particularly excel at either... I'm a gloomy, stubborn and boring person.

Wak: Don't talk like that about one of my friends!

Chi: ...Eh?

Wak: Koori Chikage is a Hero. As her friend, I won't forgive anyone who badmouths her. Even if it's the very person herself.

Chi: Wh-!? Nogi-san... That's kind of creepy.

Wak: Wha-!? I just wanted to...

Chi: Stop saying stupid things... Let's catch the bird already instead.

Wak: I-I know. Alright, Kyuu-chan. Come here.

Hill myna: That's kind of creepy!

Wak: Waah! Chikage, what now!? You taught the bird words it shouldn't know!

Chi: It probably knew them before...

Hill myna: Koori Chikage! Is a Hero!

Chi: Huh!? It only heard that once! This bird is smarter than you, Nogi-san...

Wak: We ended up teaching it words... How are we going to apologise for this?

Chi: ...Fine. We'll apologise to the owner together. Let's go.

Wak: Th-Thanks.

Chi: Don't mention it...

Hill myna: Kind heart! Good heart!
