[When the feed starts, there is a gentle bleating and a rather harried looking Hibiki on the screen. Around her head, an agitated hummingbird zips around. Now, what could this possibly be about?]

U-umm... On the way to the hospital, I saw a lot of sheep eating away at the plants, and I thought I could feed them a little treat. To thank them for clearing the way. But...

[Her head dips and she moves the screen, giving a great view of a small flock of sheep that are happily following her.]

Th-they won't stop following me! What should I do? I don't think I can take them to the hospital with me...

[Action]

[Around the city, you may encounter Hibiki and her hummingbird buddy doing one of two things!

A. Dashing from one end of the street to the other, followed closely by the sheep, or

B. Sitting down for a break from all that running around, still surrounded by said sheep who are now nudging her affectionately. The little guys sure are attached to her for some reason!]

[Her relief is obvious.]

That's good. Some of the animals are really big, so I was worried...

[Even if you aren't Hibiki, camels can be tall!]

[unimpressive]

[He laughs and crosses his arms.] Yeah, some of the animals here are really strange, too.

But they didn't hurt anyone.

[saving_sound]

That's good...

I've only heard of a lot of these animals before... It's my first time seeing many of them.

[unimpressive]

[Nod nod nod.] I'd never even heard of some of these before. There were a few that kind of looked like some animals back home... But they were really different up close!

Do they have them in your world then?

[saving_sound]

Yes, I think we have at least some of them in my world!

They're only a little similar to the ones from your home, then...? Like which ones?

[unimpressive]

Really? That's amazing! [He laughs... then stops, frowning slightly, and scratches at his cheek.]

So you know what they're called, huh? I didn't really know the names of some of the animals here... Like the ones that looked like Dhabus.

[saving_sound]

What do Dhabus look like? Are they big like the camels or oxen...?

[unimpressive]

[He nods. What in the world is a camel...] Yeah, they're big. And they've got these humps on their backs.

[saving_sound]

Humps... Then they must be like camels! Those ones have two humps on their back, and they're very tall.

[unimpressive]

[He grins.] That's it! That's how the animals I saw were.

Camels, huh? Have you seen those before in your world?

[saving_sound]

No, not in person. I'd heard of them, but that's it. They're a lot bigger than I even imagined!

[unimpressive]

Heh, and you really got to see them now...

You think they might be bringing in a lot of animals from all of our worlds?

[saving_sound]

Maybe they are-! If you see one from your world, I'd like to see it!

[unimpressive]

[Nod nod nod. Oh boy, this is exciting...!!] If I see something from my world, I'll tell you right away! How's that?

[saving_sound]

[She's getting pretty excited, too!]

And if you see ones you don't know, you can just ask me and I can try to tell you what it is!

[unimpressive]

[Grins!] It's a deal! I'll ask you about all the animals I don't know!

[saving_sound]

I'll do my best to identify them for you!

[Aw yeeeeeah! This is the best plan! Except... wait, wasn't she doing something before this?]

[saving_sound]

[...And then it hits her.]

-With everything happening, I totally forgot! I was going to go to the hospital today...

[unimpressive]

[Oh, whoops... He looks down at her in confusion for a moment, before bursting into laughter.] You can still go now! Hurry!

[saving_sound]

R-right!

[She gives a bow before smiling up at Vyse.]

Thank you for helping me out! I'll see you later, Vyse-san!
