Raising Flags With The Other Fox

(Kiyomi POV) [Manami's sister, the white fox in case you forgot]

"But Mark! For someone to do such things to you… It's nyot fair!" My nekomata colleague, Hikari, called out with a voice full of concern.

The boy sighed dramatically, flicking the front of his hair that was drenched wet with his hand. His clothes were soaked through as well, courtesy of someone dumping a bucket of water on him.

"This is the burden that one such as I must carry, it matters not to me."

"It is still unfair nyaa!" She protested. "You did it to protect me and yet they did this to you!"

The boy walked up to her and slammed the wall behind her with a palm, causing her to flinch slightly from the unexpected action.

"And I regret not one moment of it. For you, are worth that and more."

I watched the kid perform his lines flawlessly on stage without any guidance at all.
