"Quaint and fun-sized."

Oum pinched Ruby's plushy cheeks.

Another day of work, another day of having to take care of two tiny miracles. Oum grew used to interacting with the tiny Huntresses that constantly wandered around whatever table he placed them on. After a good amount of animating, he took a break and rewarded himself by pinching Ruby's cheeks.

The girl squirmed as Oum pushed her cheeks. He smiled as she stared at Oum in wonder.

Interestingly enough, no matter how much time passed, Ruby and Weiss never seemed to lose interest in him. Whenever he spent time with them, they would always pay attention to whatever he does. To them, he was a massive entertainment system filled with fun things. Weiss exemplified this trait of theirs by waving her arms around in front of Oum until he gave her something.

In short, they just wanted to play around and discover new things. He found it cute.

"Uu," Ruby squeaked, her hands touching two of Oum's fingers. She then giggled when Oum tickled her chin.

If Miles Luna saw the sight of Ruby giggling at the Oum's tickling, he would probably die out of being unable to handle the tiny innocence of the red Huntress. Oum could already see it written on a newspaper: "Everyman Miles Luna found dead with Niagara Falls pouring out of his nose."

No matter how Oum looked at it, no one seemed to have enough potential to handle the tiny Huntresses' innocent nature. They trusted him so much, and there was no doubt that their trust could possibly murder people like Barbara. Ruby and Weiss were dangerous just by the way they acted.

With that in mind, Oum let go of Ruby, who rubbed her plush cheeks with an open smile. Turning to Weiss, she ran up to the white-haired girl. Weiss blinked as she watched Ruby run up to her.

All of a sudden, Ruby picked Weiss up with both of her hands.

"…"

"Uwa! Uu! Aa!"

Clearly surprised by Ruby's action, Weiss kicked her tiny legs as she waved her short arms around frantically. A smile plastered on her face, Little Rose tossed Weiss, who curled into a ball and rolled across the table. Oum watched the white-haired girl roll past him.

Weiss stopped rolling in front of a bunch of soda cans Oum drank out of earlier. Standing up, the white-haired girl dusted her dress with her cheeks puffed like a hamster. She then marched up to Ruby, who tilted her head with a smile still on her face.

Weiss picked Ruby up, turning to the same direction she was thrown at, before tossing the red-and-black haired girl. Rose, too, curled into a ball and rolled down the table, stopping in front of Oum's cans.

This, Oum thought to himself, is actually really addicting to watch.

Ruby stood up, giggling obliviously as she waddled over to Weiss again. The white-haired girl backed away from Ruby. The way Little Rose wiggled her fingers as she playfully reached out for the Little Schnee made Monty snort ever-so-quietly.

Weiss carried herself to one of the corners of Oum's desk before emerging with a Fuel Rod Cannon.

Monty decided to find a different weapon for Weiss to play with as soon as possible, for the Fuel Rod Cannon seriously disturbed his image of her.

Ruby blinked, her smile turning into an open mouth, as she let out a surprised squeal. She turned and ran, with Weiss making weird noises as she pretended to fire bullets out of her weapon, running after her red-cloaked friend. They continued to run around in circles for a while, much to Monty's amusement.

During her stupendous chase, however, Weiss tripped and fall on her Fuel Rod Cannon, causing the tip of the gun to brighten. Oum's eyes widened as he instinctively kicked his foot against the ground, pushing his office chair away from the tiny gun.

A BB pellet flew out of the gun.

That would've sucked if I got hit by that, Monty thought, surprised at both the BB pellet that came out of nowhere and how quickly he reacted to the BB pellet in the first place.

Oum turned to Weiss to see if she was alright, only to find her thrashing about as Ruby carried her back to where she initially tossed Weiss.

As he silently put the Fuel Rod Cannon away from the Huntresses, he watched Weiss tumble across the table.

A smirk sneaked into his idle expression as he saw the two Huntresses giggling in unison.
