407 Anna and them

-Pomp. Pomp. Pomp.

-Pomp. pomp.

-Pomp...!

They started jumping and their destination was naturally the most fascinating person in this whole area, my dear little Anna.

They were running towards her with wide eyes, surprised faces, and wide cute eyes but, this wasn't good.

-Swish!

[< "No, no, children. Not this time... she's young like you all, so she can't handle your weight, alright? Just greet her slowly." >] I quickly appeared before Anna using a quick step and warned the overexcited children.

They were going to jump at her, just like they did with Rein and me.

And it may be cute to see, but I definitely didn't want my Anna to suffer or get hurt.

So, even though I was smiling, they understood what I meant and slowed down their advance.

And though Anna was confused by my sudden attitude, she knew I was worried and that it could have been harmful to her.
