It's was a lovely story. After reading Cold Shoulder I believe that this story would let us that the monsters believe that Holly the sweet girl, that they know and love. And that she is still on there side.

Nice conclusion. It's a bit odd for the anime to let a lot of loose ends from certain episodes like "Goodbye, Baku." They don't even show Ginki's sadness on the next episode like they skip ahead. Anyways, great story, every character is the same from the anime. I'll look forward to read more of your updated stories.

Holy Phoenix! This is wonderful! Thank you so much! :3
I loved your characterization of Genki and Holly here, with them both being shy, yet sweet. You really picked up where I left my story at so well that it really feels like the real conclusion I would have wanted. Thank you so much for wrapping up the lose ends! I loved everyone's acceptance of Holly, except for the cautious Hare and Tiger. Their banter at the end was perfect. :) And the kiss between Holly and Genki was so adorable! I was in complete fangirl mode there. XD
Thank you again for this birthday gift! It's perfect!
