Chapter 410 I will receive them.

Without a doubt, this little kitten, which had once been taken away by Natsumi Yase, came to find Aize.

Perhaps it was instinct, or perhaps it was because Aize had used his power to control it yesterday, leaving his spiritual energy on it, that the other party subconsciously came to find Aize and eventually found Aize's class, arriving at the seat where Aize's aura remained.

"It's amazing that you managed to miss out on me so perfectly."

Aize picked up the little kitten that was lying comfortably on his seat and meowing. Looking at its big, round eyes, he said something that made him both laugh and cry.

"Wouldn't it be great if you had arrived before I left the classroom to go to the junior high school to find Yese?"

Aize didn't care whether the little kitten could understand him or not, and continued to complain and scold.

Meanwhile, Aiba Asagi and others were also speaking up.

"This child suddenly appeared shortly after you left the classroom, right?" Lan Yuqiancong said with her hands on her hips. "It just jumped in through the window and wouldn't leave your seat once it landed on it."

Therefore, although she didn't know the details, Aiba Asagi always believed that this little kitten was related to Aize.

"You should thank Asagi." Yase Motoki put his arm around Aize's shoulder and said with a grin, "If she hadn't stopped you, all the girls in the class would have taken it to Nagatsuki's office. If Nagatsuki found out you were keeping a cat at school, you would definitely have gotten a lecture."

This guy knew the whole story, after all, he had been listening to the entire Saikai Academy and already knew what had happened between Aize and Yase Natsune.

"And Gu Cheng, he even paid for milk for this kitten out of his own pocket before you came back, you know?"

Upon hearing Yase Motoki's words, everyone immediately looked at Akatsuki Kojo.

"It's just the result of losing a game of rock-paper-scissors." Xiao Gucheng scratched his head, quite annoyed, and said, "Damn it, why me of all people? That's one of my few allowances."

Xiao Gucheng actually has quite a bit of pocket money, but because he has a meddlesome and thrifty younger sister at home, his pocket money is strictly controlled, and he usually doesn't dare to carry that much pocket money with him.

Thanks to this, he'll probably have to buy a cheaper set meal for lunch today.

"I'm so sorry, it's all my fault." Natsumi Yase bowed to Kojou Akatsuki and said, "It's all my fault for not keeping a good eye on this child, and I've made you spend so much money, senior."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Gucheng forgot all his irritation.

"Um...no, it wasn't your fault, was it?"

Xiao Gucheng became unusually nervous, and his speech became somewhat incoherent.

This made Asagi Aiba very unhappy.

"Hey Kojou, what are you so nervous about?" Aiba Asagi cast a disdainful look at Akatsuki Kojou and said, "Even if you want to act sophisticated in front of your cute junior, there's no need to be so nervous, is there?"

Motoki Yase also burst into laughter.

"Well, I can understand. After all, she's the saint of the junior high school. I heard that if any boy in Yase's class dares to talk to her, they'll be fined." Yase Motoki put his other arm around Akatsuki Kojou's shoulder and teased, "By the way, Kojou, Yase is quite close to Nagisa, you know?"

"Huh?" Akatsuki Kojou was taken aback and looked at Yase Natsune in surprise, asking, "Does Yase know Nagisa?"

“Yes.” Natsumi Yase seemed to have heard of Kojou Akatsuki as well, and said respectfully, “Nagisa and I were in the same class until last year. When my classmates were not very willing to talk to me, she took the initiative to chat with me and helped me a lot, for which I am very grateful.”

“That’s definitely something Nagisa would do.” Kojou Akatsuki said with a wry smile, “It’s not that she doesn’t understand the atmosphere, but she’s definitely more unhappy to see a classmate all alone in class. Just think of her as a talkative person.”

“No, that’s not true.” Natsune Yase quickly shook her head and said, “I am really grateful that Nagisa is willing to talk to me, who doesn’t fit in. I don’t think she’s being long-winded.”

“That’s part of Nagisa’s charm, isn’t it?” Asagi glanced at Kojou Akatsuki and said, “Compared to that useless older brother, she’s just too amazing.”

“But sometimes it can be terrifying.” Yase Motoki shuddered, perhaps because some unpleasant memory had been triggered, and muttered, “It’s better not to make Nagisa angry. Remember that, okay?”

“Oh…” Aize narrowed his eyes and said, “While I’d like to thank you for the reminder, why did you have to say that to me?”

"Because you and Nagisa are already quite close, right?" Yase Motoki said meaningfully, "This morning, Kojo complained to us a lot about this, saying that you two are practically inseparable. Since that's the case, of course I have to give you a good reminder."

It wasn't Aize who reacted to Yase Motoki's words, but Akatsuki Kojou.

"What do you mean by 'always together' and 'inseparable'? I didn't say anything like that!" Xiao Gucheng's reaction was quite intense, as if his tail had been stepped on. He shouted, "Besides, I was just saying it casually, I didn't mean to complain to anyone!"

That blatant attempt to cover up the truth left everyone speechless, and even gave Natsume Yase an incredulous look.

"Sister fetish..."

Asagi whispered a disparaging remark about Kojou Akatsuki, which immediately angered him.

Next, the scene turned into a one-sided argument by Akatsuki Kojou... no, a situation of defending himself.

Unfortunately, no matter how he tried to explain, Asagi Aiba's disdainful gaze didn't disappear, and Motoki Yase looked at him with a "don't even try" attitude, which almost made Kojou Akatsuki break down.

Seeing this, Aize and Natsune Yese stopped disturbing the three of them and left the classroom with the kitten.

At this time, the two were unaware that their habit of entering and leaving classrooms together, and going in and out of the high school and junior high school buildings together, had gradually spread throughout the entire Saikai Academy through the mouths of many witnesses.

Rumors such as "The high school transfer student who just transferred here yesterday and the saintess of the junior high school seem to have a close relationship" spread at an alarming rate within Ayakai Academy, gradually making Aize's name widely known.

…………

After finding the lost kitten, Aize didn't hesitate and prepared to hand it over to Natsume Yase.

But then, some unexpected things happened.

"Meow! Meow meow meow!"

Just moments ago, the kitten that had been obediently nestled in Aize's arms began to struggle violently, just like yesterday, if Aize did not hand it over to Natsume.

"Don't make trouble!"

Aize made the kitten behave again with just one sentence, but Natsume Yase dared not take the kitten back.

"It seems it really doesn't want to leave its senior."

Natsune Yase looked troubled.

"It's okay, I'll make it listen to you." Aize didn't think it was a problem.

However, Natsune Haze doesn't think so.

“Even if it listens to its senior and stays quiet for now, it will probably run away again tomorrow.” Natsumi Yase looked at the kitten in Aize’s arms with a pitiful look and said, “I have a feeling that it will definitely run out to find its senior again.”

Now, Aize couldn't say anything more.

Because he also felt that what Natsume Yase said made sense.

Although he couldn't understand animal language, with the power of the Monster King, Azer was still able to understand some of the thoughts and meanings expressed by beasts.

If he's not mistaken, this little kitten is probably too young and has never seen its mother before, so it likely sees him as family.

The reason it was Aize, and not Natsume Yase, is because Aize had some residual spiritual power in his body, which caused his animal instincts to kick in and find him, the true owner.

Therefore, unless Azer uses his power to command it not to come looking for him again, it will definitely escape again and run to him.

The solution is indeed simple: Azer can just give the order. But that seems a bit cruel...

After all, this little kitten came out specifically to find its family members whom it had never met before, so it's not quite appropriate to forcibly order it not to do so.

"what can we do about it?"

Natsune Haze also seemed troubled.

"There's no other way." Seeing the little guy lying comfortably in his arms, Aize scratched his face and said, "Since things have already developed to this point, I'll take this little guy back with me."

"Huh?" Natsumi Yase was stunned for a moment and said, "Are you planning to adopt it, senpai?"

"Pretty much," Aize shrugged. "It's the only thing we can do now, isn't it?"

"Will this be okay?" Natsumi Yase asked with some concern, "Isn't it true that you can't keep pets in the apartment where you live, senpai?"

“But these rules were set by the apartment owner, and they’re not things that can’t be changed.” Aize gently stroked the kitten in his arms, smiled at Natsune Yase, and said, “I will contact them and negotiate the terms.”

The Lion King Organization and the National Demon Extermination Bureau were brought into use at this time.

As long as you explain to the other party that it is necessary to do this, they will likely fill in the blanks themselves and think that it is part of Azer's mission.

"That's good."

Natsune Yase seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, a somewhat unreal smile appearing on her face.

Although the smile was illusory, it was still exceptionally beautiful. Fortunately, Xiao Gucheng wasn't here, otherwise he probably would have been stunned by it again.
"By the way, Yese, you seem to have quite a few cats, right?" Aize remembered this and asked, "Can you manage to take care of them all by yourself?"

"...Actually, it's a bit of a stretch." Natsumi Yase lowered her eyes and said softly, "However, with the help of Nagisa and some other classmates, it should be fine for now."

"Temporarily...?" Aize understood what Yese Natsune meant and said, "So, you can't take care of them long-term either?"

“Yes.” Natsumi Yase smiled sadly, “I can’t keep pets where I live now, so I will do my best to take good care of those children until they are adopted.”

The cats that Natsune Haze fosters on the hill behind the school are all abandoned stray cats, and there are many of them.

If it weren't for the fact that Natsune Yase's family is not short of money and even tries to meet her requests to a certain extent, she probably wouldn't be able to support so many cats.

She didn't know how much longer she could take care of the cats, so she could only do her best to care for them and find adopters before she was too weak to do so.

This job is quite tough. After all, Natsune Yase has always felt that she is not popular and is ostracized by others. She is also introverted and shy, and finds it difficult to have friendly conversations with others. Even if she can, whether others can have friendly conversations with her is another matter.

In view of this, Natsune Yase has been trying to find a good home for the cat she keeps on the back mountain, and she plans to ask Nagisa Akatsuki and others who have been helping her all along for this purpose.

Although she didn't really want to cause trouble for others, she had no choice but to do so when there was absolutely no other way.

"Honestly, this island is really strange. Where did all these abandoned stray cats come from?" Aize sighed first, then said to Ye Se Xia Yin, "If you trust me, why don't you give all those cats to me?"

These words stunned Natsune Yase once again.

"You...you're leaving them all to your senior?" Natsumi Yase asked, somewhat surprised and bewildered. "Does your senior intend to raise them himself?"

Those were more than a dozen kittens. Natsumi Yase herself had taken care of those kittens, so she knew very well how hard it was.

It's already so hard to keep pets outside, let alone take them home to keep. Apart from pet stores that will arrange for someone to take care of them, who can do that?

Not to mention, Aize's current apartment doesn't allow pets anymore. Even if he really intends to negotiate with the apartment owner, they'll definitely be even more opposed once they hear he's planning to keep a dozen cats.
As Natsune Yase thought about it, she also began to worry.

But Aize wasn't just saying that casually.

"Don't worry, raising me is much easier than raising you," Aize said with a smile. "You've already seen me, haven't you? I'm no ordinary person, you know."

Natsune Yase immediately recalled the demonic arts that Aize had used in the courtyard.

“I have unique cat-raising skills and the ability to take good care of them.” Aize blinked and said, “If you’re willing to trust me, I’ll take them in.”

Natsune Yase hesitated for a moment.

“Of course, if you don’t want to, that’s fine.” Seeing this, Aize immediately said, “After all, we’ve only met twice, so it’s only natural that you don’t trust me.”

Upon hearing this, the kind-hearted saintess naturally began to worry.

"No, no, it's not that I don't trust you, senior." Natsumi Yase quickly said, "You're a good person, I know that very well."

Then you're wrong.

I'm not exactly a good person.

Aize smiled silently to himself.
