I'll give my daughter one more second.

This was the first time Wu Shen had ever seen Yukino react so strongly.

“Ahem, more importantly, what will happen if we don’t get rid of the cat within the deadline?” Seemingly noticing Wu Shen’s strange gaze, Yukino coughed lightly, put on her cold expression again, and continued to press for answers.

"If the cat problem isn't resolved by the deadline, I'll be forced to move to the dormitory at Sakura-sou. That's why I came to the Service Club for help."

“I see, that’s the problem.” Yukino said with an expression of understanding.

Yukino and Nanami were having a smooth conversation, but Wu Shen, who was listening in, was a little confused.

"Is this such a big deal? I could understand being kicked out of the dorm, but this is more than just changing dorms. Is the new dorm really that bad, or is it haunted?" Wu Shen scratched his head in confusion, not understanding why moving to another dorm would be such a serious matter.

"Wu Shen, you really don't know?" Qi Hai covered her mouth, looking shocked.

"What do you know? Doesn't Sakura-sou sound like a rather cozy name? Is there something wrong with it?"

“This is a big problem, Wu Shen. As an international student, you might not be aware of this. Sakura Dormitory is notorious for problem students, no, it's a famous gathering place for weirdos,” Nanami explained.

"In school dormitories, there are always some eccentric individuals who can't integrate into dormitory life. So, to minimize the negative impact, as punishment for these people, all students deemed eccentric or having strange behavior are forcibly assigned to live in Sakura Dormitory. Over time, it has become a place that hoards oddballs." Yukino added more details about Sakura Dormitory.

"I see. Your classmate would have a really tough time if she had to move to a place full of weirdos because of the cat." After listening to their explanations, Wu Shen understood why they reacted so strongly when the topic of "Sakura-sou" came up.

It seems the consequences are indeed quite serious. But just how strange is this so-called oddball? Wu Shen was very curious about this question.

"We understand the general content of the request. So, Aoyama-kun, you want our help in finding the owners of those cats, right?"

“Once enough owners are found, the boy will be safe and won’t need to go to Sakura Dormitory anymore, right?” Wu Shenlu understood the solution to this case.

Ultimately, as long as all the cats are found owners within the specified time, the bad ending of being forcibly relocated to Sakura-sou, the gathering place of weirdos, can be avoided.

“That’s right, but compared to the boys, the homeless cats are actually the most pitiful. If you have the means, I hope you can help adopt them. Thanks to the efforts of the class, only two cats are left without owners.” Qi Hai pleaded, “Wu Shen, can you keep cats at home?”

"Cats? My apartment doesn't have any restrictions on keeping cats," Wu Shen said after thinking for a moment.

"So, Wu Shen, do you like cats? Are you interested in raising a kitten?" Qi Hai seemed to see a glimmer of hope and couldn't wait to ask.

"I like it, but my family's financial situation might not allow it," Wu Shen said, indicating that he couldn't help her.

If it were before Wu Yi arrived, Wu Shen could have helped Qi Hai out. But now he has a little darling at home to support, and his phone just broke down, so Wu Shen doesn't have any spare money to keep any pets.

Owning a pet means taking responsibility for it. If you can't take responsibility, it's better not to own one at all. Wu Shen doesn't have that ability yet, so he has no choice but to refuse.

“If it’s a cat, I might be willing to try raising one.” Yukino’s cold voice trembled slightly as she spoke.

Strange, why does Yukino's aura seem completely different?

"Do you have any pictures of cats?" Yukino asked after a moment of silence.

"Yes, of course. I specially printed out a notice seeking cat owners." Nanami said, taking out several sheets of colored printed paper from her backpack, which featured images of two adorable cats.

One is pure white, and the other is pure black. The black and white cats give the impression of being a pair.

"So cute... I want both of them!" Yukino's breathing suddenly became rapid as she looked at the picture and blurted out.

"Really? You're going to take both of Yukinoshita's cats?" Nanami asked excitedly, seeing a glimmer of hope for completing her mission.

"Wait, I can only keep one..." Calming down from her excitement, Yukino hesitated. With Amane at home, even with considerable savings and monthly living expenses, the costs would be enormous. Most importantly, as a member of the Yukinoshita family, her parents would definitely not allow her to work, so with the funds she currently had, keeping one was probably the limit.

Seeing Yukino's unusually cute reaction, Wu Shen suddenly remembered that when he met Yukino's older sister Haruno at the department store last time, Haruno seemed to have mentioned that Yukino liked cats.

Recalling this incident, Wu Shen suddenly understood the reason for Yukino's unusual attitude and frequent loss of composure.

So Yukino is a cat lover? That's an unexpectedly endearing trait. Wu Shen couldn't help but exclaim.

Chapter 95 The Last Owner

"Just one?" Nanami sat down, looking a little disappointed, but she quickly composed herself. "But it would be great if we could adopt one."

In any case, finding an owner is already very lucky; it's a great start. Asking for anything more would be asking for too much.

"Although I can only keep one cat, we've accepted this request. Rest assured, I will absolutely not allow such a cute creature to sleep on the streets like this," Yukino said seriously.

"If you can only keep one, which one would you choose, Yukino?" Nanami asked, pointing to the picture of two cats.

“It’s so hard to choose…” Yukino stared at the photo, and the usually decisive Yukino was suddenly suffering from decision-making difficulties.

Wu Shen found Yukino's infatuated yet deliberately cold expression, as if afraid of others discovering her secret, particularly endearing.

"Wu Shen, which one do you think is better?"

While he was hesitating, something unexpected happened to Wu Shen. Yukino actually presented him with a notice looking for a pet owner, wanting him to make a choice.

"Didn't you, Yukino, want to get a cat? Why are you leaving the choice to me?"

"Because I can't make a choice, I can only ask you for help. It's just a simple choice between two options, and I'm sure even someone with your ape-like brain could make a decision." Yukino was being sarcastic again. However, Wu Shen now took Yukino's sarcastic remarks as a kind of "tsundere" behavior that didn't mean what she said.

Did I jump straight from a paramecium to an ape? That's a huge leap! If I evolve again, will I end up on Mars? Wu Shen thought to himself.

After staring at the photos of two solid-colored cats, one black and one white, for a moment, Wu Shen said, "Since your name has two 'snow' characters, why don't you choose the white cat?"

Actually, Wu Shen doesn't have a particular preference for cat colors. There's a saying: it doesn't matter if a cat is black or white, as long as it can be cute... no, as long as it can catch mice, it's a good cat.

"Since snow is also white, should we choose a white cat? Okay, then let's choose it." Yukino considered it for a moment and agreed with Wu Shen's statement.

"Okay, I'll take Yukino to get the kitten in a bit." Nanami smiled slightly, seeing that Yukino's adoption was a done deal.

"The two cats have already found a human. Does that mean we only need one more cat to complete this task?"

“It seems we still need to find a host for another black cat.” Yukino nodded in agreement. Although she seemed calm, Wu Shen had already noticed that Yukino was somewhat restless, as if she couldn’t wait to see the cat she had adopted.

"Yukino, why don't you go with Aoyama to take that cat home first? It's still early, so you can go to the pet store to buy some cat supplies."

“But if that’s the case, then the commission…” Yukino was clearly hesitant.

"Since we're just killing time anyway, let me take on the task of finding a human for the other cat," Wu Shen volunteered.

After considering it for a moment, Yukino finally succumbed to the allure of the cat and nodded in agreement to Wu Shen's plan.

So Yukino and Nanami went to see the kitten, while Wu Shen was given the task they had entrusted to her. Before leaving, Nanami told Wu Shen that if he had any questions, he could ask the boy on the notice board. That boy was probably advertising this on the notice board. If they really couldn't find the owner, he could help put up the notice.

"He tried to show off and ended up taking on the responsibility instead." Wu Shen sighed. Seeing Yukino's eagerness, he couldn't bear it, so he impulsively took on the task.

Although he has calmed down now, he does not regret the decision he made.

"Since we have already agreed to help complete the task, we should keep our word, especially since it is rare for the Service Department to have such a request."

Wu Shen originally planned to start with people he knew to see if they were interested in keeping cats. However, at this time, most of the people he knew had already left school, so he could only try again tomorrow.

So Wu Shen found Kanda Sorata, the person Nanami mentioned, at the school, explained the matter to him, learned about the latest developments from him, and helped post notices seeking owners at the school and nearby streets. He also asked students from various clubs who were still staying at school, but the effect was not obvious, and all the replies he received were rejections.

"Kanda, I have to go to work at the supermarket later, so I'll stop here for today." It was getting late, and Wu Shen said goodbye to the boy who had asked him for help.

"Thank you for your help today. It's rare to see someone so dedicated to something like this," Kanda Sorata said with a wry smile.

"We're basically a jack-of-all-trades club, so don't worry about it. Besides, our club president is a cat lover."

After parting ways with Kanda Sorata, Wu Shen rushed to his part-time job at the supermarket. When he arrived, Aoyama Nanami had already started working at the checkout counter.

When Qi Hai met Wu Shen, his first question was about the progress of the matter.

"How's it going? Have you found the last owner yet?"

"No, we've asked every club and organization. We've also put up a lot of flyers outside, but the effect has been minimal."

"Really? I guess I oversimplified things." Nanami's voice dropped a beat, her mood clearly downcast. "I wish I could have a cat. Unfortunately, my family situation doesn't allow it."

"Speaking of which, Aoyama is quite concerned about this matter."

"Because I always feel so sorry for those abandoned cats." Nanami lowered her head, her words containing both pity for the stray cats and dissatisfaction with those who abandoned them.

"Won't this affect your voice actor training program?"

Wu Shen knew that Aoyama Nanami was a simple and kind girl. If this matter delayed her own dreams, it would be a great loss.

"I've had much less time to practice my lines, but it shouldn't be a big problem. Once the first round of voice actor training tests is over in a few days, I'll have more time to dedicate to this."

Although Nanami acted nonchalantly, Wu Shen could tell that this incident was clearly distracting her from the important voice actor test. This was not a good sign.

"I remember the training course assessments are crucial for many subsequent developmental stages, right? Is it okay to shorten the training time in this way?"

“I know this is important, but I still can’t just leave those little guys alone. The main problem is that the school seems to be making new rules recently, and even in Sakura Dormitory, pets won’t be allowed.”

So that's why Nanami is so anxious. Even if she moves to Sakura-sou, she has to abandon the cat.

Having grasped the general situation and seeing Nanami's uneasy appearance, Wu Shen felt he had to do something.

Chapter 96 A New Member of the Yukino Family

"Aoyama, you should focus on preparing for your voice actor exam. Leave the finding of a pet owner to me. I've already accepted the commission."

"But wouldn't this be too much trouble for you..." Nanami's attitude was clearly very hesitant.

"It's not a matter of whether it's troublesome or not. With exams approaching, you have to work and take care of the kitten, so your time is actually quite tight, isn't it?"

"Yes, the schedule is indeed a bit tight, but..."

"No need to say anything more, I'll just ask you one question—do you believe me?" Wu Shen interrupted Qi Hai.

"Of course." Nanami nodded without hesitation, perhaps influenced by the previous rumor incident.

"Then you should just focus on practicing and wait for me to bring you good news. Unlike you, I'm usually quite free." Wu Shen snapped his fingers, looking relaxed.

His schedule used to be packed, but since he doesn't need to be a novel critic for Shi Yu for a while, he has a lot more free time.
