Chapter 75: [Invitation To The U.S.]
That's a horrifying story about an animal hospital.
That's not necessarily all true, as some of the information here is based on second-hand accounts. However, it's said that the male employee wasn't a licensed vet.
Why was such a man in charge of medical treatment?
It's said that the vet, who was the clinic's director, told him, "It's too much trouble, so I'll take over for him".
Of course, it wasn't like this from the beginning.
At first, it was just a trivial chore.
But "This much is Ok." gradually escalated and …….
Finally, it became a regular occurrence for an unlicensed employee to provide medical care.
Of course, this is illegal.
The investigation found that they sloppily managed the facilities, and sanitary conditions were at their worst.
"I'm glad Iroha stopped it. Otherwise, what would have been injected into her?"
No, it wasn't me.
It was the animals over there that saved her.
I could hear dogs and cats meowing in the back room.
All I saw was hostility, fear, and pain.
It's understandable for animals to be a little hostile toward vets.
No one wants to be hurt by someone who is trying to hurt them.
But that was crazy.
It makes me sick to remember it now.
When I, only a VTuber, arrived at a large animal hospital, I clung to the veterinarian saying, "Please help those children!"
It was that bad.
"I hope those hospitalized kids there are doing well by now."
"…. I guess so."
Rumor has it that the animals at that clinic were transferred to a nearby veterinary hospital.
I'm sure they are receiving proper care there.
But don't be mistaken.
Even if it is a small practice, many vets there are very animal-friendly and good people.
Sadly, however, some don't. Some people in the world are not so good.
Not all people are good.
Doctors and vets are no different.
If you feel even the slightest bit of distrust, you need to ask for a second opinion.
Just then, the chime rang.
Ah, well. Time to go.
"I guess this is goodbye."
My mom muttered so sadly.

"Nice to meet you in person, Iroha-san."
"Hello, it's me Iroha. I'm here."
Standing at the entranceway was the cat's original owner, Ah-nee's manager.
I guess she guided me this far. There's Ah-nee next to me.
"Hey, how are you?"
-Oh, look who it is. It's master-nya!-
"Good, good, good. Are you so happy to see me?"
-Give me a snack!-
The manager is skin-to-skin with the cat in the cage.
The conversation is not at all engaging.
"Um, Mane-chan. So, about what I was contacting you about."
"It's about the vet? No, rather, thanks to Iroha-san. Thank you so much for protecting our girl."
"… No."
"And… Yes, I'm fine! That's nothing to worry about. It will heal in no time. My kids are naughty, isn't she? She gets hurt all the time. No matter how much we try to prevent it, she always gets out of control in the most outrageous ways. No, every time…."
The manager said with an exhausted look.
I can't help but chuckle. She seems to be giving me a lot of trouble.
The manager was rather apologetic when she learned that the cat had tried to claw at my autograph.
It's okay. It was safe.
If it wasn't, I would have fallen asleep.
But, hey, who's this?
Only for cats? Who said that?
"Wow, kitty's so cute… Whew, whew, what a joke!"
Ah-nee sneezed loudly while trying to love the cat.
She was sniffling and sniffling.
I guess she was allergic to cats.
How could she even say she'll take care of the cat with this?
"It's not good to stay too long, so let's go soon. I'd like to say, but there's another reason why I came to Iroha-san's house today."
"Excuse me?"
Do you know where I have been for the past two weeks? Iroha-san?
"—Would you like to come to America with us?"
The manager said.
She said she was also there today to get permission from my mom to do so.
"America…"
"The event is still a ways away, but we don't have much time to prepare for it. I apologize for the short notice, but it would be great if you could get back to me within a week."
After a brief explanation, the manager bowed and said, "Please.".
……… A large-scale event in the United States, huh?
I heard that Ah-nee will also participate in that event.
They will be my guardians when I go over there.
My mom looked thoughtful.
She must be worried about sending her daughter, who is still in the first year of junior high school, abroad on business.
I…
