Chapter 45: Neighbors, Scared To Talk

I looked down to the Cerberus girls that have been waiting patiently in dog form.

"Use your SYTT-Link with me, and then I want you to go find a stick, but no magic ones!" I joked, and the girl's tail started to wag, but then they transformed back in a puff of white smoke.

The girls all gave me a hug, and then I felt the link like a bolt of power, chaining the girls and me as they nuzzled their faces into me. I smiled at the feeling, stroked the hair on each girl's heads, and scratched behind their ears.

"Okay, go find something, and then I will throw it for you all. I know we can get your ability to work, but using a magic item was just a mistake on my part," I said to the girls as they pulled away from me, but Bera shook her head, both hands came up to block her blue hair from Riez and Cera's faces.

"No, it's okay, thank you," Bera said to me with a small smile, but I wasn't sure what I was getting the thank you for.
