Akane Nanao: [Kazuma, where are you?]
Kazuma: [I'm at the Old School Building. Don't co over, it's raining heavily.]
Akane Nanao: [Soone saw Sakurazawa Tomomi leaving with you earlier. Are you two doing sothing naughty?]
Kazuma:
It's not about whether Tomomi and I are doing sothing inappropriate right now. The problem is that my cat wants to do sothing inappropriate! Kazuma put his hand to his forehead, feeling a headache coming on.
Akane Nanao: [I know, I know. The important thing is that a second-year senior ca looking for you earlier. It was Miyajima Sakura, a senior from the Kendo Club. She left after seeing you weren't there. Kanna Hiiragi is beside now, so we won't disturb you~]
Akane Nanao sent a few cute stickers and then ended the conversation on LINE.
Miyajima Sakura? The Kendo Club?
Looks like she still cares about losing to last ti.
Kazuma replied with a heart emoji, then put away his phone and looked at the beautiful, cherry-blossom-haired girl sitting in front of him, as well as the black cat crouching beside her. He cleared his throat. "Next, we should talk about sothing serious. Ahem… Tomomi, shouldn't you be heading ho?"
"Kazuma, are you chasing away right after we finished? It's still raining so hard outside—you're so heartless," Sakurazawa Tomomi said, pretending to be resentful.
Kazuma: "…"
His eyes flickered. It's just too embarrassing to talk about those things in front of you. I want to talk to this mischievous little cat alone.
"Tomomi, I won't let you get caught in the rain. I have an Anywhere Door that can send you straight ho."
Kazuma took out the red Anywhere Door.
"I'm not going back!" She shook her head firmly. She had just beco Kazuma's woman—how could she bear to leave so soon? She wished she could stay by his side twenty-four hours a day. "Kazuma, let stay here with you. Don't worry, I won't laugh about what happened earlier."
She stared seriously at the small figure crouching on the ground. "I can also tell that this cat is a little strange."
Kazuma scratched his head helplessly. "It was my fault for letting her see… that scene. No wonder she learned that behavior."
"But… it's just a cat," Sakurazawa Tomomi said in disbelief. "Even if it saw sothing, it's still just a small animal. Why would it do sothing so strange?"
"She's not an ordinary cat. You've seen my special ability," Kazuma said as he gently stroked the cat's fur. "Before, she might have been an unremarkable stray cat. But now she's different. She's a completely new existence after evolving and mutating."
Yes, Kazuma had already discovered that her evolution was complete.
Much faster than his own.
However, judging from her appearance alone, it was impossible to tell what had actually changed. Kazuma observed her carefully. Her body seed slightly larger, her figure graceful, and her temperant elegant. If you didn't know better, you might think she was so noble cat.
Pat.
"Acting elegant is useless. Who told you to do that earlier…" Kazuma lightly tapped her head.
"ow…" She lowered her head pitifully, her small face full of grievance.
"I think she's still very cute, and her expressions are very human-like," Sakurazawa Tomomi said with interest. "She feels like a magical cat from a fairy tale. So it's fine, Kazuma—don't worry about it."
Why are you even more open-minded than ?
"She'll be led astray by you sooner or later," Kazuma muttered. "Anyway, I was planning to give her a na. Seeing how mischievous you are, I'll call you Pipi… Pipi Cat?"
"No, don't."
"It's useless to object—huh?"
Kazuma and Sakurazawa Tomomi froze at the sa ti.
The girl slowly raised her hand and pointed at the black cat on the ground, her voice trembling.
"Kazuma! She… she just spoke?!"
The evolved little black cat looked at her master and, for the first ti, spoke in a human voice—soft, silvery, and slightly clumsy, like a young girl learning to talk.
"Master… no good… na… listen…"
Gulp.
Kazuma swallowed hard.
She really spoke. This evolution had actually given her the ability to speak human language. Kazuma felt a surge of excitent. She could talk. Her intelligence had clearly reached a human-like level. If that's the case… would transforming into a human form soday really be impossible?
"If you don't like it, what na do you want?" Kazuma crouched down and scratched her chin.
"Master… give… … na…"
"Hmm… how about Tom? A divine cat nad Tom~"
"No… good."
"Gokou Ruri? That sounds nice…"
"No… don't."
You're really picky. You really are a noble lady among cats.
Kazuma wasn't annoyed—instead, he found it fascinating. He looked at the elegant and beautiful black cat. "Then… Luna? How about Luna?"
The little black cat imdiately showed a happy expression.
"ow~ Luna… like…"
She liked that na.
"Master… like…" Having received her na, Luna rubbed herself affectionately against Kazuma's leg, her large eyes becoming even more charming.
Although her speech was still clumsy, her aning was clear. Luna was expressing her affection for her master. After evolving, her intelligence had clearly surpassed that of ordinary animals. Kazuma picked her up.
"Luna, how old are you this year?"
"ow?"
"Answer in human language."
"…Don't… know."
A human-like look of confusion appeared on her face. Her age… she didn't rember.
"Then what about your parents?"
"…Also… don't… know…"
She had forgotten everything. Little Luna's expression turned sad. Combined with her silvery, delicate voice, she looked heartbreakingly pitiful.
"Luna, then do you know… what you did earlier?" Kazuma asked aningfully.
"ow~ Master… I don't know…" Luna put on a confused expression. Her speech was already becoming smoother. Kazuma gave her a suspicious look but didn't pursue it further, placing her back on the ground.
The beautiful black cat lowered her head. A faint blush and shy expression quietly appeared on her face—hidden from her master's view.
"One last question. Are you a boy or a girl?"
"I… of course… I am a girl…" she replied quickly, almost anxiously. How could she possibly be a boy? Master was really…
She was a little sister~
Sakurazawa Tomomi watched from the side, clicking her tongue in amazent. A cat speaking human language would cause a global sensation—headline news everywhere. But Tomomi simply looked at Kazuma with a gentle smile. Because it was related to him, no matter how magical it seed, she wasn't surprised anymore. She had already grown used to it.
She couldn't help but speak to the cat.
"Luna, Luna, do you understand your changes? You can speak human language now~"
"ow." Luna glanced at Sakurazawa Tomomi, arrogantly raised her head, didn't answer, and simply owed.
"Kazuma, am I being disliked?" Sakurazawa Tomomi asked with a sad expression.
"She's rather cold toward outsiders. Kanna and the others were the sa at first. If you spend more ti with her, it'll get better," Kazuma said.
Luna suddenly stood up from the floor. Her body froze for a mont, then she suddenly pounced! In that instant, Sakurazawa Tomomi couldn't even see clearly what happened.
She could only see a black shadow flash past.
"Chirp chirp chirp—"
The wagtail on the windowsill seed startled, flapping its wings and flying upward with noisy cries. anwhile, Luna moved like a rabbit, bursting forward instantly. She leaped onto the window, then without stopping, kicked off the wall twice.
Like a ghostly shadow darting through the room, she reached the little wagtail near the ceiling in the blink of an eye.
Smack!
Her paw struck it precisely.
"Chirp chirp chirp…"
Carrying the struggling little bird back to Kazuma, Luna wore a proud expression, clearly wanting praise.
"Master~ I've beco even stronger~"
She was well aware of the changes in herself.
The only one injured was the poor little wagtail.
This little kitty, who had been silly and adorable before, had now transford into a fierce hunter, catching the wagtail effortlessly. Sakurazawa Tomomi couldn't forget what she had just witnessed. She stood there motionless, stunned and speechless.
Kazuma, however, had expected it.
If Luna hadn't evolved, she would have needed to ambush the wagtail from behind to catch it. Otherwise, she would never have succeeded. Her current speed and agility were completely beyond human visual perception.
Looking at the little wagtail again, it lay motionless, pretending to be dead, filled with despair. An opponent who had once been evenly matched with her was now completely overwhelming. Kazuma quickly rescued the wagtail and said with exasperation, "Luna, you're amazing, but don't do this to your companions next ti."
"Chirp chirp chirp~"
The little wagtail buried herself in her master's arms, crying in grievance.
"ow… I understand," Luna nodded quickly.
"Kazuma, this is incredible," Sakurazawa Tomomi exclaid repeatedly as she crouched down. "So Luna can catch mice too? I won't have to worry about mice or bugs anymore. Luna, can I touch you?"
"ow~ Go ahead~"
Wow, she's getting cuter and cuter.
Makes want to raise one too.
The thunderstorm continued. Violent rain slamd against the windows, the crackling sound endless. The sky gradually darkened, and the Old School Building, shrouded in heavy rain, seed to carry an eerie and unsettling atmosphere. Lightning split the sky from ti to ti, briefly illuminating the room.
"ow?"
While Kazuma and Sakurazawa Tomomi were preparing dinner, Luna, who had been lying nearby, suddenly twitched her ears. She curiously looked toward the door and quietly walked out.
The black cat moved through the darkness with elegant steps, making no sound at all. She silently observed the abandoned rooms and classrooms, feeling that sothing was off.
Rumble—
A sudden flash of lightning illuminated the window—and the corridor beyond. In that fleeting light, the beautiful black kitten stood quietly, her dark pupils reflecting the glow as she stared at a door that had sohow opened.
Luna felt no fear at all. Instead, she lowered her body, ready to spring, as if preparing to attack.
"ow?"
But soon, she relaxed again and returned to normal.
