Part 631: Nowi C

Whew! I've been playing all and I'm pooped! What cute little kids!

I've seen them around. They're from one of the villages near the camp. But what do you mean, "cute little kids"? Aren't you a kid, too?

No! I'm an adult woman who's more than a thousand years older than you!

Oh, right! Nya ha ha! Sorry, short stuff!

H-hey! Do you always speak to your elders like that?

Nope! Just you. After all, how many "elders" do you know who play hide-and-seek as much as you?

What's wrong with hide-and-seek? It's fun! ... In fact, you should join us next time.

Okay!

Wait, really? Oh, that's so exciting! I've asked just about everyone in camp, but they always turn me down.

It's 'cause you're always so full of energy, "One more time, one more time, pleeease!" Most people just can't keep up with that kind of raw enthusiasm!

I know, right? It's so annoying how quickly some people tire out. I mean, ten hours? Come on! That's like a warm-up! Do you know I haven't found a single playmate since I joined this dumb army?

...Until now, that is! Hee hee! We're going to play game from dawn to dusk!

I know how you feel! Ya know, I don't tell many people this, but I was kind of abandoned when I was young. My family ignored me completely, and I didn't have any playmates. But it was fine, because I learned to amuse myself! Oh, and make friends with animals.

Then we're exactly that same! But now we have each other, right?

Nya ha ha! You know it!
