Fluffy Ears and a Tail 2

"Shouldn't I have left? They don't care about me at all. Every day when I go home, all we do is argue and fight. Besides, I don't want to act at all, but that woman keeps forcing me to."

Shimizu Miyuki noticed that Seele and Aso Yuna did not seem very supportive after hearing her words, and she could not help feeling a little upset.

"Your parents are going too far, but... Shimizu Miyuki, you actually ran away from home. That's amazing!"

Aso Yuna looked at Shimizu Miyuki with a face full of admiration. She had only ever seen something like running away from home on television. She had never expected to encounter it herself—and from someone she knew.

"Huh? It's not that big a deal!"

Seeing the admiration in Aso Yuna's eyes, Shimizu Miyuki suddenly felt a little embarrassed instead.

"So what are you planning to do now? Leaving aside whether you might run into bad people or danger, where will you live? How will you support yourself?"

Watching the two little girls interact, Seele shook her head helplessly. Shimizu Miyuki had acted on impulse and had never considered, much less planned, how she would live after running away from home.

"Well... I brought money. My allowance, plus the money I secretly saved from acting jobs. It should be enough to live on for a while."

Shimizu Miyuki was unconvinced by Seele's doubts.

"But... you're only ten. Who would rent a place to you? You can't even sign a lease. And if someone really did rent to you, are you sure they wouldn't be a bad person?"

Seele continued explaining the harsh reality to her.

"This..."

Shimizu Miyuki was immediately speechless...

She knew she had been impulsive, but she simply did not want to go back to that home.
