With classes over, Eryon and Kojirō began the long journey home. Their high school was lost in the countryside, surrounded by golden fields.

"I hope we don't miss the bus," Kojirō muttered, his hands in his pockets.

Eryon, carefree, listened to his music, his purple headphone in place. Suddenly, Kojirō stopped dead in his tracks, breathless. A majestic tiger with piercing blue eyes stood at the side of the road.

"Eryon! Don't move! It's the tiger that escaped from the zoo this morning!" Kojirō whispered, panicked.

Eryon removed his headphone, shrugged, and calmly approached the big cat.

"Oh, a big cat," he said, stroking it. "It's so soft."

The tiger let him, closing his eyes. Kojirō, trembling all over, stepped back.

"You're crazy! He'll eat us!"

Eryon stood up, a wide smile on his face.

"Relax, Kojirō. Shall we take him home for dinner?"

Resigned, Kojirō followed his friend and the beast, wondering how he still managed to survive these crazy ideas
