A Leopard and the Fluffy Adventures of Daily Life

Yun Qing, a leopard, opened his front door and found himself in an unfamiliar place.

Fortunately, the farming game he'd just finished came along with him. So even as he watched lions fight, ostriches steal chicks, and ground squirrels argue with 'Timon,' he could still eat, nap, and bury his face in a soft belly in comfort.

With his farm, Yun Qing managed to make a life for himself in this land.

His farm also gave many animals struggling on the brink of death a chance to survive.

Before long, new legends spread across the savanna:

Beside the Katis pride, there was a watering hole that never dried up, even in the harshest dry season. Its lord was the elephants' friend, the merciful hunter, the lions' sworn brother, the dung eater... Mr. Leopard!

Yun Qing was visiting the salt lake, getting ready to take postcards to send back to everyone, when he heard the flamingos discussing this 'legend,' which had already passed through who knew how many mouths. The more he heard, the more silent he became.

= =+ : "..."

After hearing far too many strange rumors along the way, all he could do was flick his tail in exasperation and defend himself: That was cake! Chocolate cake!!

When Yun Qing finished sorting the postcards and was ready to send them home, he looked at an old photo of himself with Xize, then glanced at Xize, who was sitting quietly beside him and watching him.

After looking back and forth several times, he held the photo up in front of Xize. "Is this lion you?"

Xize calmly replied, "It is."

"...Really?"

"Yes. I was still very young then."

Yun Qing's teeth started itching. He couldn't help sinking his teeth into the big lion's thick mane, grinding them in irritation as he said, "That wasn't you! Who grows up and changes species at the same time?!"

[Leopard x "Lion"]

[The fluffiness doesn't refer only to the "lion," but the leopard's fluffiness is only the "lion."]

[The farming game is based on Stardew Valley. It's really fun OUO, and version 1.6 is coming soon!]

[Game information comes from the Stardew Valley Wiki. The game in this story has been altered and uses mods, so the references are just there to help readers understand and can't be followed exactly.]

[Animal information comes from encyclopedias and documentaries. But Kribi is a magical land (serious face), and creatures that grow up there really do become huge.]

[(Poking my head out secretly) (in a small voice) The author gets off work late. If there's no update before 10:00 p.m., it'll come in the early hours, so check back the next day.]
