Oh, there they are...

Hey, you guys!

Welcome, Mizuki.

What brings you here today?

I have something for all of you.

Let's see... I guess no KAITO or MEIKO today?

Yes, you seem to have just missed them.

Okay.

That's a bit of a shame since I wanted to see their reactions... But I can just give these to them later!

The thing is, I brought gifts for everyone.

I got to go to a carnival the other day.

A carnival...?

It's an amusement park that's kinda like a circus since they travel around from place to place.

And it was so cute!

Everything they had from the rides to the food was all cat themed!

So, there were cats everywhere...?

Yeah, because the owner loves them so much!

It really felt like every surface had a cat painted on it.

Naturally, the souvenirs I bought are also...

Ta-daa! Cat keychains!

Wow, these are really cute...!

They had all sorts of different breeds, so I made sure to get ones that suited each of you.

Alright, to be fair, I sorta arbitrarily picked based on my own personal beliefs about you guys...

Oh, I'm curious to see what you chose.

I bet you are. By the way, I already gave Kanade and the others theirs.

I got Kanade a Russian Blue, Mafuyu a Chartreux... And a Scottish Fold for Ena!

I don't really know cats, but it sounds like they come in a lot of different types.

What are those ones like?

Oh, right. Their names alone don't tell you much, huh? Alright, lemme find some pictures...

Russian Blues look like this.

They've got emerald green eyes and ash blue coats.

Their eyes are so pretty...

This is the breed you chose for Kanade?

Yeah, they remind me of her since they seem distant but actually have a high degree of empathy.

As for Mafuyu, I thought a Chartreux matched her calm demeanor and kind heart.

What about Ena?

Wh-What was it called again...? A Scottish something...

A Scottish Fold.

Hmm... Oh, here we are. They look like this.

They're cute...

Yeah, they do remind me of Ena...

Right? I thought the same thing! In particular, that kind of in-your-face cuteness!

Unfortunately, she got mad at me when I told her that...

Really? I think you were spot on, Mizuki.

Which breed did you choose for me?

Y-Yeah, I wanna ask the same question...

Then, I'll start passing them out!

Here you are!

Thank you.

You got me a white cat...?

That's a Khao Manee cat.

I thought it suited you since it has a bit of a mythical feel to it.

Oh, its eyes are different colors...

*Nod*

Just like me...

Mine has a black nose and blue eyes...

What is this breed called?

That's a Himalayan. They've got this sort of mysterious aura to them, but they're actually good with people. Doesn't that sound like you, Luka?

Ah, so that's how you see me.

My cat looks so fluffy. I think it's really cute...

Mine kinda looks like a leopard.

Yours is a Minuet, Len, and yours is a Bengal, Rin.

Minuets not only look cute, but are also supposed to be really kind. That reminded me of you, Len. And despite how fierce Bengals look, they're actually really friendly. Like you, Rin!

I don't think we're alike...

What?! You totally are!

Hehe. Still...

It's unfortunate that we don't get to see MEIKO and KAITO's reactions.

I know. But I'll let you guys know how they react once I give them their gifts!

Actually, that might not be for a little while since I'm gonna be a bit busy...

You are?

Yeah. See, the carnival I went to is gonna close down soon.

And I get to help out with the show they're gonna put on for the final day!

A show?

Does that mean you're going to be acting, Mizuki?

Yup!

I'm really excited since it's such a fun story♪

What is it about?

Oh, want me to tell you?

It's about this cat hero who protects the carnival from...
