Miko Has Arrived!?

Onii-chan, Onii-chan! I got someone I wanna introduce to you today! (≧∇≦)

Someone to introduce?

Yep yep! She’s a super important friend of mine, and we’ve been living together for a loooong time. She’s a cat-folk maid!

Lemme go get her real quick~!

Here she is! (≧∇≦)

…Netsuki. Don’t just drag me over here, nya.

Ehehe~, sorry sorry! C’mon, introduce yourself~!

…Fine, nya. I’m Miko, a cat-folk maid, nya. I’m 139 cm tall. I have nekomata blood, so I got two tails, nyan.

Isn’t she tiny and cute~? (〃´∪｀〃) And her red eyes are totally her charm point!

…You don’t gotta say all that, nya.

So like, Miko’s defining trait is that she’s SUPER meticulous!

The other day, I left my mug on the table and she was like…

“If you don’t use a coaster, it’ll leave water stains on the table, nya.”

That’s what she said! (ﾟ∀ﾟ)

Netsuki only fixed it after being told the same thing three times, nya.

Wait, you were counting?!

Taking notes is important, nya.

…I’m not happy or anything, nya.

Miko’s also an amazing cook! (≧∇≦)

The inari sushi she made the other day was sooo good!

…That was a recipe from my grandmother, nya. Traditional cat-folk recipes passed down for generations, nya.

Do you ever try your own twists on the recipes?

…Changing traditional recipes is a bit scary, nya.

That’s so like you, Miko! (´∀`) But y’know, it’s okay to try something new sometimes!

…Netsuki tries too many new things, nya.

Ahaha! (≧∇≦) Can’t deny that~!

Hey Miko, what am I to you?

…A rival, nya. But also an important friend, nyan.

A RIVAL?! (ﾟ∀ﾟ)

I like tradition and following the rules, nya. But Netsuki loves new stuff and…we’re total opposites, nya.

Right right! I’m all like “rules schmules~!” y’know? (ﾟ∀ﾟ)

…That’s the problem, nya. I worry sometimes, nyan.

But I’m still an “important friend,” right? (´∀`)

…Because we’re opposites, we can support each other, nya.

Like brakes and gas pedals!

…If I left you alone, who knows what you’d do, nya.

One last question! What does “happiness” mean to you, Miko?

…Being relied on by people I care about, nya. When I hear “thank you,” that’s when I feel happiest, nya.

…That’s really beautiful (〃´∪｀〃)

I don’t have any special talents, nya. But if I can support everyone with cooking and housework, that makes me happiest, nyan.

So working hard for others is what makes YOU happy too!

…Thank you, nya.

…Can I go now, nya?

Yep yep! Thanks so much!

…Whatever. I only did it because Master asked me to, nya.

Oh, she left! (ﾟ∀ﾟ)

She’s a total tsundere, but she’s super kind and reliable! Maybe I’ll have her show up in the diary more often~ (≧∇≦)

I can tell how much she means to you.

Ehehe~! Thanks for listening, Onii-chan! (´∀`)
