Bab 80: A Talk with #4      

Rain searched for #4 until night swallowed the day, but he still couldn't find where the little chick had gone.

"Have you seen #4?" Rain asked the villagers, but they only shook their heads.

~Chi!~

Chi called loudly and sharply, stomping her foot in frustration. 'How dare that brat not show himself when our lord is calling? I will make sure to punish him severely.'

"Don't threaten him. He might not come out anymore," Rain sighed.

His statue was with #4, and he feared that he might run away from home with it. #4 had a bit of a rebellious streak, and Rain worried about both #4 and his precious statue.

I hope he didn't do anything rash.

"Oh, you're looking for #4?" Hana asked with a big smile, unfazed by the dirt on her hands and feet as she cleaned the pig's pit.
