She turned her head towards the sound and find orange stelcier the look like Tiger who is like a younger sister to her.

“Big sisssss”

A cheerful stelciar name Kisaragi fly swiftly with excitement and pounce on her sending them both trembling into soft snow.

“Big sis! I’m here to visit you~”

She whined softly,full of longing to her big sis. Because Kisaragi’s fur wasn’t suited to the cold, so she had to live apart from Mikan in pinecone village.

“Kisa….”

Mikan closely called her by nickname. Her ears perked up with joy. At first Mikan was a shy stelciar however, because of Kisaragi’s bright and cheerful arrival, the icy wall in her heart was melted down with ease.

“How have you been? Are you doing well?”

Kisaragi asked innocently.

“Yep!! I’m fine and healthy! What about you,Kisa?”

Mikan joyfully answered

“I’m fine too!! After void was eliminated, I live happily in pinecone village. Oh actually I have something to ask you.”

She replied with a cheerful tone before tilting her head, looking puzzled.

“What is it? Oh this place seem too cold for you. Let’s talk in another place.”

Mikan wrapped her scarf around Kisaragi’s neck and take her to warmer place.

“So…. I just born recently don’t know much about this world so I want big sis to tell me your stories.”

Kisaragi sit in Mikan’s cabin. She hold Mikan’s scarf with her paw and ask with a curious expression.

“Haha…. To be honest, I didn’t do anything much but if you ask for an unforgettable experience….. it should be my first soul guiding.”

Mikan thought back about her past and replied with an adorable look.

“Eh~ I never do that before, can you share your story?”

Upon hearing about Mikan’s story , Kisaragi asked her to tell more.

“Of course, you just came all the way for this.”

She gently petted Kisaragi’s head and started to recall her memory.

“When animals died stelciar like us have to guide them right? Normally we guide small animals like rabbits,mouse, squirrels or big animals like bear…”

She explained the meaning of soul guiding to Kisaragi.

“Eh~so…. What animal did you guide?”

She stood up excitedly and stared at Mikan, full of anticipation.

“I…..”

when Mikan recalled her memory, her face went pale.

“I got a snake…..”

She replied with a pale expression.

“Eh….”

Kisaragi stunned.

“I know right? My animal is too weird to guide. It’s dangerous and doesn’t like anyone else.”

Her face start looking dejected , her ears fell, disappointment washing over Kisa.

“You’re……

so amazing!!”

Kisaragi ran around.

“Huh? You’re joking right?”

Mikan stared in shock.

“Joking of what? I may be playful, but I’m telling the truth. Snakes are natural enemies of cats like us right? There’s a lot of stelciar who died from snake bites in their past life. So that you still dared to send such a dangerous creature….. you’re truly brave!! Big sis~ go on, go on!"

Kisaragi replied proudly in her sister

"Umm Snake usually just crawl, so I don't think they could fly"

"But even if he could, It's okay."

"Cuz it was your first time isn't? "

Kisaragi said.

"So.. How did big sis take the snake there?"

"His body pretty long... did you carry him in your mouth?"

Kisaragi asked her curiously.

"That would've so exhausting."

"So I let him warp me like a belt then taking him there."

Mikan's face went pale again.

"Woah!! Weren't you scared? Didn't feel uncomfortable? “

Kisaragi asked in shock.

"I'm so scared! He stared at me even licked my cheek. I thought he was going to eat me.. But luckily he didn't, So everything turned out fine"
