ChioriMikami's Story Plushie Princess Plushie Princess "Index, do you think Mom and Dad will come back today?"
Chiori Mikami nestles herself into a swing on the balcony with a pink bear in her arms, dangling her legs while looking up at the starry sky.
The pink bear named "Index" in her arms is a gift her parents sent to her for her birthday while they were overseas. Index can't answer her question because it is just an ordinary plushie handbag, and it has been entrusted with too many missions that adults haven't been able to complete, such as making her little owner not feel lonely.
Behind her is a pink bedroom filled with things that children like, and there is an alarming number of plushies inside it. The adults think that children will never be lonely if they have plushies to keep them company, and the children around her all call her the "plushie princess" in a tone full of envy.
"Chiori is so amazing! There are so many plushies at her home."
"I want to have as many plushies as Chiori!"
"Chiori's parents are so nice to her because they buy her so many plushies."
Whenever children gather around her and chatter these words, Chiori Mikami always wears a proud expression and enjoys the feeling of being admired by everyone at this moment.
However, she dislikes the way adults look at her. She may be young, but she can tell that they think "plushie princess" is a pitiful and scornful form of address.
"I feel really bad for that child. How are her parents able to do this?"
"Yeah, she just plays with plushies without speaking. Will she close herself off to the world over time?"
"Forget it. It's not our problem. Who are we to say anything if her parents are okay with it?"
"We shouldn't let our children spend so much time with her. Who knows how a child who is raised without parental discipline will turn out?"
As she recalls the gossip of the people who live around her, she purses her lips and hugs Index tightly in her arms.
