As a standard summoning ticket, this ti the summoning didn’t produce any special effects either.
It still only released a gentle white glow that wasn’t dazzling, before turning into specks of light and scattering into the air.
"Was I summoned by you in the sa way back then, ow?"
Haibara ow looked at the summoning ticket that had just dissolved into light, tugged on Sherwin pants, and asked.
"Yes. After the ticket disappeared, it started pouring on the island we were on at the ti, and then you crawled out from the bushes," Sherwin answered.
Taking advantage of this rare chance, he finally asked about Haibara ow situation.
"When you were summoned, what state were you in? Among all the Felynes, your condition back then was the worst."
Haibara ow pressed her lips together, her ears drooping, and spoke in a low, heavy tone:
"Our village was attacked during the Rampage and at the sa ti hit by a rare heavy rain. Under the control of an Almudron, the flood destroyed the village defenses. Everyone scattered in panic. Many Felynes and Hunters... died."
Sherwin heart ached as he pulled the little kitten into his arms. Haibara ow clutched tightly at his clothes and continued in a faint murmur:
"A Zinogre drove away from the main group. I fled in a panic, only to run into several Jaggi that had co to scavenge. Just when they were about to catch , I vaguely heard a voice telling it could help escape. When I ca to my senses again, I saw you all, ow."
So even Haibara ow inherited such a tragic backstory...
"It over now, it over. You have and everyone else here. We won’t let you face that kind of danger again."
Sherwin gently patted Haibara ow back. He knew the truth behind her story was probably more complicated, but he had no intention of pressing further. In fact, he almost regretted bringing it up.
"Don’t worry, Big Sister Ai, ow! Klee ow will protect you from now on, ow!"
"I feel the sa. Protecting one companions is the duty of a samurai, ow!"
"Little Sister Ai, whatever you want to eat in the future, just say it, ow! Even if I have to kick that idiot Sherwin to death, I’ll make sure he gets the ingredients for you, ow!"
Hua i ow didn’t say anything, but leapt onto Sherwin and gently began grooming Haibara ow fur.
"Thank you, everyone, ow~" Haibara ow said in an uncharacteristically soft and gentle tone. Then she lifted her head and exchanged a glance with Sherwin...
"Hmph!"
Sherwin: "..."
Co on, wasn’t I the first one to comfort you?! Tsundere little kitten is really hard to please!Although he was secretly grumbling about Haibara ow in his heart, Sherwin hand stroking her fur didn’t stop.
Soon, the little kitten forgot her earlier sadness, narrowed her eyes, lifted her chin, and purred with deep, contented rumbling sounds.
"By the way, Admiral, where our new companion? Why haven’t they shown up yet, ow?" Seeing Haibara ow mood improve, Hua i ow stopped grooming her and turned to ask.
"Oh, right... where the newly summoned cat, ow?"
Sherwin quickly activated Observation Haki and looked around, but found nothing. After a mont of thought, he suddenly lifted his head toward the sky.
The other cats also raised their little heads. Up in the clear, cloudless sky, a small black dot could faintly be seen... rapidly—no, slowly—growing larger.
"This entrance looks a lot like Klee back then, ow..." Sanji ow muttered as he placed a paw above his eyes, staring at the black dot in the sky. "Only this ti, it seems to be flying even higher, ow..."
"This is way more than just a little, isn’t it..." Sherwin mimicked Sanji ow gesture, tilting his head back to watch for a long while until his neck began to feel sore.
"With the ti we spent chatting just now, it already been a while, but that black dot in the sky still hasn’t gotten any bigger. And maybe it just , but... why do I feel like it keeps getting larger and smaller?"
"It not your imagination," Hua i ow, perched on Sherwin shoulder, said. Her pupils had already shrunk into needle-thin slits.
"The new companion should be using sothing like a parachute to constantly slow their descent."
Huh?Sherwin instincts were triggered.
That repeated action of opening and closing a parachute—or rather, a glider—for a safe landing... he knew it well!
And with such an exaggerated altitude, as if they had jumped down from Skypiea itself...
The first thought that popped into Sherwin head was from a year before he crossed over: a ga that had taken the world by storm—The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom!
So, could this ti it actually be Link ow?!
Just thinking about that strange arm of Link with all its mysterious abilities made Sherwin heart race. Even the Breath of the Wild version of Link had the Sheikah Slate, a divine artifact!
But then again... the Calm Belt didn’t really have much to do with Link, did it?Could it be that summoning Hua i ow near Cocoyasi Village back then was only a coincidence?
Finding no clear answer, Sherwin didn’t dwell on it. Either way, he was quite satisfied with summoning Link ow.
It just that...
Sanji ow was probably going to be very disappointed.
Sherwin cast a sympathetic yet gloating look at the little yellow cat who was still full of hopeful anticipation.
Poor Sanji ow, however, didn’t notice Sherwin gaze at all—his entire attention was locked on the "big sister" in the sky.
"She looks like a yellow Felyne too!" Sanji ow exclaid excitedly. "This big sister must be really beautiful! I’m sure we’ll have so much in common, ow!"
Well... Link cross-dressing was indeed quite pretty.
But as the figure in the sky drew closer and closer, Sanji ow—who had been thrilled a mont ago—gradually fell silent...
"Eh? Big brother Sanji turned white again, ow!"
∑(=ΦДΦ=)Klee ow, who was getting tired of craning her neck, tilted her little head, and then saw that Sanji ow had turned pale as ash.
"Don’t worry about him. It just because this summoned cat happens to be a boy again. He’ll recover after a while."
Sherwin curled his lips. By now, he could already make out the appearance of that Link ow descending from the sky...
Golden and black fur—though it didn’t look like a tabby or a big orange—most likely... a leopard cat? That actually fit pretty well with Link agile movents.
On his body he wore a short-sleeved blue tunic, paired with leather bracers and a single shoulder guard. Clearly, this was the new Champion Tunic from Tears of the Kingdom.
Sherwin felt a bit regretful that it wasn’t one of those outfits with special abilities, but since the Champion Tunic was basically the official "default skin," it still made perfect sense.
On Link ow back, though, the load was rather heavy... the full set of sword, shield, and bow.
The old rascal of Hyrule had his gear complete, and judging by the glider he occasionally spread open, when folded it seed to be strapped to his back as well.
As Link ow descended further, Sherwin could even make out the pattern on the glider... it wasn’t the default fabric at all, but one that matched his Champion Tunic design.
Of course, the pattern on the glider wasn’t the real issue. The real problem was—
Link ow right hand seed to be his original one...
Don’t panic. Even without the Ultrahand, the Sheikah Slate was still amazing!
Sherwin focused his eyes on Link ow waist. He was so serious about it that even his Observation Haki sharpened slightly.
However...
Forget the Sheikah Slate—Sherwin didn’t even see a Purah Pad! Not even the Zonai batteries that looked like a string of firecrackers!
"ow! Big brother Sherwin turned white too, ow!"
