The line for the Petite Devis took quite a long time, but as they had prepared a good number of Petite Devis themselves, it took about an hour for our turn to come around.
Incidentally, we were told that we had 15 minutes to interact with it, and when Sieg-san and I moved to the fence with our designated number, there was one Petite Devi just like when we went to visit the Funny Rabbit.
Its overall round silhouette is covered with fuzzy fur... Its image does look similar to that of a furball. With its round body, small Japanese curly horns, big, round and cute eyes, and Daemon-like tail... I see, this certainly is cute.
[Devi?]
[C- Cute...]
It mewled "Devi". Maybe its name "Petite Devi" comes not from its tail but from its mewls. In any case, Sieg-san's eyes twinkled as she reached out for the cute Petite Devi, whose cuteness was commensurate with her popularity.
[Devi, devi!]
[Ohh, it climbed up Sieg-san's hand. She seems quite friendly.]
[Petite Devis are very popular as pets because they tend to be very friendly and sweet to people. Haahhh... It's so cute.]
The Petite Devi seemed to have quite a friendly disposition and was extremely adorable as it happily jumped and bounced on top of Sieg-san's outstretched hand.
I reached out and touched it too, and it was fluffy to the touch, almost like I'm touching a cloud... no, more like cotton candy.
[Deviii!]
Perhaps it was happy to be touched, it stretched out its long and thin tail and happily wrapped it around my hand. How should I say this... Each of its gestures are so cute... With them being like this, it certainly wouldn't be strange for them to be popular.
[It's no wonder they're popular.]
[Yes. Moreover, this one looked like it was groomed well, as its fur looks nice and shiny.]
[Ahh, I get what you mean. It would be difficult to achieve this feeling unless they take really good care of it. It has persistently curly fur, so the breeder must be considerably skilled for its fur to be so beautifully arranged.]
I know this because I'm also very attentive about Bell's fur and am confident with my brushing skills. The shine of this Petite Devi's fur is something that can only be produced with very careful grooming.
The brushes used for the large Bell and the small Petite Devi may be different... but I'd love to hear what kind of shampoo they use for it.
I also use the pretty good stuff for Bell, but if I'm allowed to be a bit greedy, I'd like her fur to be a little softer. The gloss and texture of her fur is already enough... but if it's possible, it might be better to make several new special shampoos by special order. I guess I'll ask Alice about this next time.
[Kaito-san, would you like to try carrying it?]
[Well, since we're at it... Ah, it's a lot lighter than it looks. Is it because it has a lot of fur? Moreover, it feels good to the touch. You're quite loved, aren't you~~]
[Devi, devi.]
I don't know if it understands what I meant when I spoke to it, but the Petite Devi happily waved its body. Hmmm, it really is quite cute. It's just, how should I say this... Monsters that can fit in your hand seem to have this cuteness that other monsters don't have.
After admiring the Petite Devi's cuteness in my hand for a little while, I moved it back to Sieg-san's hand. Sieg-san frolicking with the Petite Devi is quite cute, as she enjoys herself with a smile.
[...Sieg-san, wouldn't it be alright if we could keep a Petite Devi?]
[That's a fascinating idea, but they're hard to come by.]
[Ahh~~ You did mention how they're rare.]
[Yes, you would need quite the connections to... connections to... Errr...]
[...Ummm, it might just be me... but I feel like if I ask someone... I think I could somehow manage to do it.]
[What a coincidence. I was just thinking the same thing.]
Indeed, it would normally be something difficult to obtain but... Unnn, I think I could work something out. I mean, it feels like if I ask Chris-san or someone connected with her for this, they'll give us one.
[...Well, if you want to keep one, let me know. I'll go consult someone I know.]
[That's a fascinating idea... so I'll carefully consider it.]
As for me, I'm willing to cooperate if it's for Sieg-san's sake, but Sieg-san herself seemed to be having second thoughts about this. I think she's probably thinking that she's causing trouble for me or something like that.
However, she has been glancing at the Petite Devi, and has mentioned that that idea was fascinating, so perhaps the day when she actually asks me to do that may be sooner than later.
Well, since it's Sieg-san we're talking about here, there are probably many other monsters that she would want to keep, and even if she does want to keep something, it's possible that she's having second thoughts about which monster to keep as a pet... Whatever the case, I think I would somehow be able to get us most of the monsters, so if I get the chance, I will help her.
With these thoughts in mind, I enjoyed the company of the Petite Devi along with Sieg-san for a short while.
