Cute little family searching for a new home.

The Yukkuri are unique in that they breed like rats and rabbits and are just about as destructive, but their speech ability and basic humanesque cognitive capabilities place them a rung above the average dog or cat in some regards. Their durability is about on par with insects - a boot stomp is usually enough the permanently flatten out a scummy yu, just as it would be for a cockroach.

Depends on who's story you're reading and where the yukkuri are. Gutter trash yukkuri tend to breed far less, as food is harder to obtain and shelter is harder to find. Wild yukkuri tend to breed like rabbits, as food is more plentiful, and since they can just eat the grass and not have their taste buds ruined by human food, they can sustain their families easier.

It's been discussed that yukkuri in city life aren't stupid when it comes to family -- they know if they have lots and lots of kids, they won't be able to provide, and thus, all of them die.

After the next "disciplining" session she might become a nicehead.

Or you could just teach her how to talk. She looks rather eager to learn. :3

She could have taken the premature home.

That was always a possibility.

After all, she clearly already owns two Momijis. Why not?

Besides, screw her. She was stealing from that family. They sang and performed (somewhat poorly) for peoples' entertainment. They weren't harming anyone.

But yeah, typical ending: abyusers go and kill them, because yukkuri. And no, badges wouldn't save them at all.

I imagine in these universes, stray yukkuri populations are rather high, and so they're somewhat perceived as no different from infestations of insects. I would assume if they were truly represented by law, then there'd be a greater movement to shelter them, even if it meant putting a few (dozen) to sleep (permanently, then grinding them up for food) in order to control their population.

^ What I was thinking

She's bowing, which shows that she's showing respect. She just may not know -how- to ask nicely.

That may not necessarily be true -- this is a step forward. It switched her reaction. Her stubbornness may be gone, and thus, can simply be nudged into saying different things (since she probably doesn't know -how- to be nice yet)

I'd check it's personality-type.

I don't live in the shed, and it made a shelter. Give it a chance, talk to it. If it turns out to be a nice one, I'll let her stay and she can maybe be a pet (or outdoor pet)

The body has no accessory, and in Takumi's universe, yukkuri only recognize one-another via accessory.

That's why, when they honored their fallen sibling, they honored the hat, but not the body.

I suppose this makes sense in the lore, since yukkuri are cave-dwelling, so their eyesight may be somewhat poor.

Depending on the strength of their family bonds, yukkuri can generally be either totally ignorant of their dead, or go so far as to build graves to mark their lost family members.

Interesting, as not many other species go that far to honor their fallen, other than humans.

People assume they're scum because they don't know how to behave around humans. It's a sad fact of the yukkuri universe.

Hair tonic for yukkuri. Interesting.

It's rare I would demand retribution, but this anon seriously needs to drink bleach.

Any chance the translations can continue? I mean, I know what happens, I'd just like to see what the scientist's observations are.

Hard-working Chen is helping other yukkuri take it easy! Chen gets it!

Probably why she's kept in-doors, and the rest are all killed.

Aaand this is why you DO NOT LET SOMETHING INFECTED WITH AN UNKNOWN DISEASE WITH UNKNOWN EFFECTS BREED.

Massive genetic anomalies occur in the huge passage of genetic data between mother and child. It can cause huge, radical mutations in the virus.

Even if scum, poor thing. Terrible way to die, and the fact that her last thoughts are of her family.

Yeah, thanks for catching on to what I said a few pages ago. :P

Is it funny that I play the game advertised? <3 Brave Frontier.
