Good Things Come at Once

"Nyanko, where are you?"

Alameida carried the laundry for today in a giant basket. Behind her was Rayleigh carrying a massive block of firewood.

It was their weekly activity here in the Shelter of Fae children. Big batches of laundry would need a lot of firewood and a giant metal pot to boil them.

"Nyanko?" Alameida called again.

"Yes, Madam!"

A young woman, more petite in build, ran toward her, followed by half-elf children. She had short black hair, and her forehead was covered with her bangs.

She wore a simple white dress like the children, but she was actually a proper adult. Her body was naturally smaller and agile because she was a Catfolk.

Yes, behind her white headscarf was a pair of black cat ears, and her skirt had a hole for her fluffy black tail.

"Lead the kids to sweep the yard and the floor while we do the laundry, okay?" Alameida asked her.

"Ah! Of course, Madam!" Nyanko nodded.
