Chapter 8 : The Story of the Elephant and the Little White Cat
Chapter 8 The Story of the Elephant and the Little White Cat
---
Appeared again in the sealed space where the two-tailed beast was.
Looking at the huge beast as big as a mountain, it was lying on the ground with its eyes closed and resting.
After coming in so many times, Tonari began to feel a little sorry for Nibi.
This enclosed space has no scenery, no privacy, and no entertainment options.
At least, Tonari still has a sachet to play with.
The most common state in which I have seen Nibi is that he is lying on the ground in a cage with fences, sleeping with his eyes closed.
In fact, how can there be so much good sleep?
Although Nibi is a cat and may be relatively lazy, it is impossible for him to lie on the ground and sleep all the time.
I just had no choice.
And this kind of helplessness lasted for Nibi for who knows how many years.
Ever since he was sealed inside the body of a Jinchūriki, he has been imprisoned in such a dark sealed space, with countless Jinchūriki replaced.
The only people he can talk to are the Jinchūriki.
But as long as the Jinchūriki knew what kind of existence the Two-Tails was, they would definitely not be willing to actively communicate with it. There was no need to even talk about communication, as they would not even have enough time to avoid it.
Even if there are a few people who can suppress the fear in their hearts and try to communicate with the two-tailed beast, it is for the power it possesses.
As for these people, Nibi usually pays attention to them when he is in a good mood, and ignores them when he is in a bad mood.
This is also why, among the Jinchūriki of the Two-Tails, only Yubokuto could get along well with the Two-Tails.
Because she was only two years old when she became a Jinchūriki, she had no idea about the existence of the Two-Tails and didn't understand it, so she wasn't afraid.
Ignorance is bliss.
Now, Tonari doesn't have much fear of the Two-Tails.
Although he was scared at first when he first saw the Two-Tails, after a few days of contact, Tonari found that the Two-Tails was not that scary. Many people just subjectively think that the tailed beasts are very scary creatures, so they are unwilling to have too much contact with them.
You haven't even tried to understand it, but you think it is terrifying and difficult to communicate. How can you communicate with the other party on an equal footing?
How do you know the other person's strength?
How to let the other party know your strengths and weaknesses?
How... cough cough...
It was as if I could feel the regret and pity in Tonari's eyes.
Nibi slowly opened his eyes.
"Little guy, what's that look in your eyes?! Do you feel sorry for me?" Nibi said in a muffled voice. There was not much anger in his voice, but rather a hint of fatigue.
These past few days, this little guy has been running into the sealed space whenever he has time.
Then he kept buzzing in his ears——
He kept talking about things he found very interesting.
Some of it is quite interesting though.
Ahem——
The Two-Tails failed in everything from the death stare test at the beginning to the attempt to use its own energy to occupy Tonari's body later.
I tried several more times afterward, but to no avail.
The strength of this Jinchūriki's will was somewhat beyond his expectations.
Even the other party slowly found a way to deal with it!
During the last attempt, this little guy named Tonari only lost consciousness for less than a second and then recovered instantly.
Then he happily told it those so-called jokes...
This was the first time that Nibi felt that it was a bad thing that the seal was not that strong!
The other party can come and go at will.
In and out, come and go freely...
If it hadn't recovered from its wounds...
"Oh my, beautiful girl, please don't mind me. I didn't mean anything by the look I gave you just now. I just felt that it was pitiful for you to be locked up in this fence, in this dark and sealed space.
After all, the world outside is so beautiful..."
Tonari waved his hands at Nibi, with an expression that said, "Don't get excited, let's talk it over."
Nibi: "..."
There was silence.
The little devil had a powerful tongue, and he had given up trying to debate with him.
"Since you think I'm pitiful and shouldn't be locked in this fence, why don't you tear off the seal in the middle of the fence door?" Nibi said weakly while lying on the ground.
It needs to lick its own wounds every day and listen to this little brat's nonsense, so it really doesn't have the energy to lose its temper.
"That won't do, Nibi, don't think I don't know. This seal is the most important thing. Without it, you will be able to break free from my body, and then I will be the one who suffers."
Tonari waved his hand again and found a relatively clean place on the ground to sit cross-legged.
He had long been accustomed to this place, and his butt was almost left with marks from sitting on the ground.
Fart print.
"Today, let me tell you a story about an elephant and a little white cat!"
Tonari coughed lightly and cleared his throat.
As for whether Nibi paid attention to him or not, that was not his concern.
"Once upon a time, there was an elephant walking in the forest.
Because elephants have three urgent needs, he couldn't help but poop in the forest.
But after he finished pooping, he realized that he didn't bring any toilet paper!
At this moment, a little white cat walked by, with a noble and unattainable aura. It was obvious at first glance that it was a... Persian cat!"
Although Nibi didn't speak, he heard a term he had never heard of before.
"What is a Persian cat?"
"It's a kind of cat, but this kind of cat is a little special. Some of them have different eye colors.
Hey, don't interrupt me, just listen to me first! ! "
"..."
I don't know why, but I vaguely have a bad feeling.
Different eye color?
Because my eyes can see the yin and yang worlds, the colors are also different.
Are you hinting at me?
Unconsciously, the listless Nibi, lying on the ground, pricked up his ears quietly, wanting to listen to what Tonari wanted to say.
"So the elephant asked, 'Hey, little white cat, do you shed your hair?'
The kitten raised his head proudly, 'You are the one who will lose hair, and your whole family will lose hair!'
The elephant was not angry at all after being scolded by the kitten. He is really good-tempered!
Then...the little white cat turned into a little orange cat..."
Nibi was stunned and asked again, "Why?!"
This time, Tonari didn't blame Nibi for asking the question. He looked at Nibi as if he was a fool.
"That's easy, because the elephant has no toilet paper, and the little white cat happens to be the color of toilet paper!
It doesn't shed hair, it's soft, and it smells great…"
Nibi: "..."
The two tails stared at Tonari with wide eyes, an expression of disbelief.
That being said...
Everything is self-explanatory!
"I haven't finished yet, stop interrupting me!
Once again, the elephant was eating in the forest. After enjoying the delicious food, he found that he had forgotten to bring toilet paper. However, his face was dirty after eating, and it was not appropriate and polite to meet his friends like this, so he started looking around again.
Hard work pays off! He soon spotted a little squirrel walking by!
The elephant asked, 'Little squirrel, do you lose your hair?'
The little squirrel looked at the elephant, hesitated and was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, 'No, I don't lose my hair.'
So the elephant was very happy, picked up the little squirrel and started wiping its mouth.
I feel that the little squirrel's fur is really soft, but it has a slight smell.
But he had just put the little squirrel down when he heard the little squirrel say expressionlessly, 'I am the little white cat from yesterday!'
Hahahahaha——I'm dying of laughter!
Hahahahaha – so funny!!
Nibi, don't you think it's funny?
Little white cat, little squirrel, hahahaha——"
Nibi's expression was serious: "..."
After telling this story, Tonari rolled over on the ground holding his stomach.
But Nibi slowly stood up, and the temperature in the entire space began to rise!
Tonari finally noticed the abnormality in Nibi's state, and his movements froze for a moment.
The two tails also stared at Tonari.
...
"I'll come see you later! Slip away!"
After saying that, Tonari disappeared directly into the sealed space.
Nibi remained in this stalemate for a long time before he helplessly lay back on the ground.
However, his expression was not as angry as it had just looked, and there was even a faint smile on his face.
Maybe...you also find the joke funny.
"This little guy..."
