Flora Bloom looked at the cub in the woman's arms.
The cub was covered in white fluff, but since it had just been born, its fur wasn't completely dry. Flora could see its pink, tiny body, which, upon closer inspection, had the features of a dog but the posture of a cat.
Flora instantly felt that the little cub looked incredibly familiar, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.
'Is it a dog? No, it's not a puppy or a kitten either! Newborn puppies and kittens have much thicker fur. Besides, what cat or dog has a tail this short? It's like a bear's tail...'
'A bear?'
A thought suddenly struck Flora. Aethelgard City was situated in a hilly basin with unique terrain and soil, making it a year-round producer of bamboo shoots. It was the nation's top supplier.
Besides its bamboo shoots, the city was most famous for a rare little animal that loved to eat them: a precious and treasured species from Veridia, the panda.
