#amaterasu 01

While he loves the Cyberse Monsters from his world with all of his metaphorical heart, he can’t deny that the animals in this world are so soft and nice to pet.

He’s seen Duel Monsters modeled after wolves before, but here is a real life wolf with some of the whitest fur he’s ever seen on an animal. Not deterred by his earlier experience with the Netpups at all, he reaches up to pet the seemingly friendly animal. 

“What a good pooch! And you’re such a cutie, yes you are! Look how fluffy and pure your coat is!” He continues to coo while he pats her and she seems to enjoy the attention, so he tentatively wraps his small arms partway around her neck in a hug. She moves slowly and carefully so as to not knock him down, he notices. She must be an awfully smart animal. His hand brushes something metallic buried in her thick fur and pulls back to look at the name tag.

“Someone named you ‘Amaterasu’? Like, after the sun goddess? That’s adorable~ It’s a fitting name as well, even if it is a bit of a mouthful, what with you being all shiny white and warm!”

“I’ve got a Japanese name too! It’s ‘Ai’, meaning ‘love’.”

Wait... Weren’t animals with collars supposed to belong with someone?
