Chapter 45/300
Moth Crawler
Bionis' Leg Arc (11/22)

"Weird little wriggler. It's harmless, so it's fun to roll it between your fingers."


Before returning back to the Refugee Camp, Shulk had a vision of collecting 3 Moth Crawlers for a boy and his sister. Now, Shulk and Reyn approached the two, who were sitting near the lake. The boy looked up. "Hey!" the boy said. "Um... You two look strong. Could you find something for my little sister to play with? There aren't many toys here, and I don't know what to do."

"I want some pet insects to call my own," the sister added. "It's so boring here..."

"Well, what kind of insects?" Shulk asked.

"Moth Crawlers! I heard they're fun to play with."

Shulk smiled. "Well, we have 3 Moth Crawlers. They're yours to play." He pulled out a small insect box, containing the three bugs. When he opened the top and showed the two, the girl's face lit up with glee.

"Whoa!"

"Me and Reyn used to play with these back home when we were kids. I let Reyn handle this since I'm no longer a fan of these bugs."

"No sweat!" Reyn said as he sat down in front of the boy and girl. He picked up the Moth Crawler in his right hand.

"Are you sure about these...bugs?" the boy asked, moving his head back a bit.

"They may wiggle a bit, but they're harmless!" Reyn grinned back. "They're fun bugs to play with because of this!" He let the Moth Crawler on his fingers, allowing the bug to roll between his fingers. "Try it, you two!"

The girl clapped out loud. "I wanna try! I wanna try!" she said. The boy, his sister, and Reyn held each of their own Moth Crawler and let them roll between their fingers. Shulk simply watched to see the three laughing and having fun, even in these dark times.
