I, the little cat, am a substitute for others who are starving and thin

After running all the way to a deserted place, she opened the system panel to take a look at the tasks of this world.

"How strange."

Suddenly, a child's voice that had not yet gone through the voice change period appeared behind him.

Yimi turned around and saw a vaguely familiar creature. Its overall appearance was somewhat cat-like. Its body was white, but its eyes were pink, like a rabbit's. Extending from its cat ears were two ponytail-like 'earlobes', each with a pink tip and two suspended rings.

The tail behind her butt is as fluffy as a squirrel. Rather than being a living thing, it looks more like the doll that Grandma Siji bought her in the previous world.

"Are you a cat? Or some other unknown creature I've never seen before?"

The doll sat in an elegant posture on a trash can that looked cleaner than the world had ever seen. Its lips were pursed but the voice automatically appeared in Yimi's mind.

“I am a cat.”

Seeing that the creature opposite did not follow the rules, Yimi simply gave up the rule of "not speaking human language when in cat form" and sat here with the same elegant posture.

"That's really strange. I don't think normal cats have the ability to speak or intelligence."

The doll jumped off the trash can and turned around Yimi, looking around.

"Or are you a creature from another civilization that came to Earth?"

"Meow?"

Yimi looked unkindly at the creature in front of him who dared to look down on the cat.

"It's true that the most emotionally unstable human girl on Earth is the most suitable creature to become a magical girl. But so far, I have never seen anyone with better qualifications than you, even though you are clearly not human."

The doll stopped, sat upright and looked at Yimi. Considering the difference in species, it did not use the same tricks to deal with human girls. According to the popularity of human society, the topic of "magical girls" can attract young girls, but other creatures may not understand it.

"Do you believe in the power of miracles?"

"Meow?"

“To change reality to the extent that desires can be fulfilled.”

"Meow?"

Yimi didn't understand what it was saying, so he stood on his hind legs, showing politeness when talking to others.

This thing suddenly started talking to it, talking about miracles and the fulfillment of wishes.

Although the power of miracles can indeed break the rules, Yimi doesn't know whether it can make wishes come true. She has tried it herself in Gensokyo. Using the infinite magic power of the third method combined with miracles can indeed modify reality. However, she was only interested in cat grass and did not study it further. This thing cannot help her go home.

"My name is Kyubey, I want..."

The kitten standing there looked down at it and said, "You can tell me."

"Ok?"

Kyubey's expression didn't change at all, and he tilted his head.

Yimi continued, "What is your wish?"

"I always feel like you seem to have misunderstood something. Do you have the power to fulfill other people's wishes?"

Kyubey was very interested in this matter.

"No."

Yimi's ears twitched.

Her greatest development of Miracle is Endless Cat Grass.

"So you want to sign a contract with me and become a magical girl?"

Kyubey simply got straight to the point, "I can grant you one wish. In exchange, you must become a magical girl and fight against creatures called 'witches' to maintain order in the world."

"A wish come true?"

Yimi felt something familiar. The Holy Grail War also said that wishes could be fulfilled, but the essence of the Holy Grail was the product of the Third Law.

The clever kitten didn't expect anything, but stared at Kyubey and asked, "How do you make your wish come true?"

"As I was saying, do you believe in miracles?"

Kyubey replied.

Yimi dropped to all fours again in disappointment.

If a miracle could help her get home, she wouldn't be traveling so much.

Ignoring this strange creature, Yimi continued to check the main task.

Main Quest: Use [Kyuubi] as the ingredient to make delicious dishes, and make five specific magical girls give the evaluation of "very delicious" from the bottom of their hearts (Current Progress: 0/5)

"Meow?"

This mission was more abstract and bizarre than the previous ones. The system did not give any hints about the five specific magical girls, but Maomao's language skills were not enough for her to understand the specific meaning of this sentence.

((l) ω(l) *)

She slowly turned her gaze towards Kyubey: "What did you say your name was?"

"My name is Kyubey. Have you thought about it?"

Kyubey scratched his neck with his hind legs. "I feel like your eyes changed for a moment. It doesn't look like you want to agree."

Although the system gave such a task, the Kyubey in front of him did not provoke the kitten much, and the current conversation could barely be considered friendly. If the kitten suddenly attacked it, it would become a bad cat.

When Yimi was struggling, time froze for a moment.

"Meow?"

Unlike the previous world where her time ability was interfering everywhere, Yimi was still able to move this time. So when time stood still, she watched helplessly as Kyubey, who had just been chatting with her, was instantly surrounded by rapid-fire bullets.

"Ok?"

With a puzzled sound, a pair of soft, boneless hands hugged Yimi and pulled her away.

The bullets turned Kyubey into a sieve.

"Meow!"

The kitten looked at the scene in shock.

"Are you scared?"

There was a certain indifferent voice, and the black-haired girl named Homura Akemi scratched Yimi's chin to comfort her.

But she just heard Kyubey's voice, and she thought the other party was looking for someone to sign a contract, so why was there only a cat at the scene?

2

Chapter 2 Difficulty.

"Meow meow meow! Meow meow meow meow! Oh wow—"

Yimi broke free from Homura Akemi's hands and cursed at her.

This cat killer is not a good person!

"..."

Homura Akemi looked down at the strange cat.

She was already used to being distrusted by people other than Madoka, but why was she misunderstood by a cat today?

Perhaps feeling a little depressed, the girl looked up at Kyubey. Too numb to defend herself, she muttered to the cat, "This isn't a good cat. Look, this guy can't die."

"Meow?"

"Really, this is such a waste."

As Yimi stared in amazement, another Kyubey jumped out, lowered its head and began to eat the body of the previous Kyubey that had been shot.

There is no point in killing creatures like Kyubey.

It has no emotions and has countless clones. Killing one of them would be a waste for it.

After trying a few times, most of the time, even if this thing jumped in her face, Homura Akemi was too lazy to kill it. However, when Kyubey was looking for a new girl to sign a contract, Homura Akemi would still use this method to stop its behavior.

Although her main goal was to save Madoka, she tried her best to save as many other girls as she could, but no one ever appreciated her kindness, even though she explained the truth to them almost begging them to believe her.

The scene before her still made her a little confused. Why was there no girl who was being bewitched by Kyubey this time?

"You're a magical girl too, right? But you're a face I've never seen before. I don't quite understand, but this is our first meeting, right? Why are you showing such hostility towards me?"

This is indeed the case for Kyubey in this timeline when they meet for the first time.

The reason for this is that Homura Akemi is a magical girl who possesses the power of time. In the first timeline, she made a wish to meet Madoka Kaname and start over again, and can freely control time to go back to before she met Madoka.

She didn't know how many times she had experienced restarts like this.

Feeling no need to explain, she fired another burst of bullets at the new Kyubey before turning to leave. Since there were no victims, she would be wasting bullets by continuing to kill Kyubey.

But then she saw out of the corner of her eye that the cat that had just scolded her hesitated for a moment, then ran to Kyubey's second corpse in small steps, sniffed it, and tentatively opened its mouth to take a bite.

"vomit!"

It tastes terrible!

It's definitely nutritious, but it's really unpalatable! In the pirate world, she occasionally encounters such unpalatable fish, but with her ability to starve others, she can directly eat them with her ability, but she definitely can't do that if the mission requires her to taste it for others.

The kitten began to understand the real difficulty of this task, which was to make something so unpalatable appear delicious to the heart's content.

"Don't eat dirty things."

Homura Akemi gently hugged Yimi away.

What a strange cat. It had just expressed dissatisfaction as if its own kind had been killed, but now it started to treat the other one as food.

Neurotic, at this moment she fully understood why more people like dogs than cats.

But just as she held Yimi away, the body of Qibi disappeared. She was sure that the cat in her hand had done something, which was difficult for her to understand.

Only at this moment did she realize that the person Kyubey was talking to might not necessarily be a human.

She had gone back so many times and had caused trouble for Kyubey countless times, but she had never seen Kyubey go after a cat.

Homura Akemi turned Imi over and saw that she was still retching over the unpalatable Kyubey.

Homura Akemi frowned slightly and thought for a few seconds.

So, just now when time stood still, the cat also moved.

"A familiar?"

Not at all. From the feeling point of view, it is just an ordinary cat. When Kyubey disappeared, I didn't feel anything wrong except visually.

……

Because it was very close to her home, and because Kyubey had deliberately used his ability of telepathy to exchange Madoka or someone else in the past, Homura Akemi took Imi home first.

She only had a short month, so naturally she didn't have the time to adopt a pet.

After a month, the strongest witch, 'Witch Night', will descend upon the city, but this is the only thing she cannot defeat alone.

If this thing cannot be solved, with a kind character like Madoka, she will definitely fall into the trap of magical girls because of Kyubey's instigation.

Homura Akemi put Imi on her desk. Since she saw Kyubey resurrect the cat nonchalantly, the cat has become much more obedient.

Because Yimi finally remembered why Kewpie looked so familiar. There was a person whom her mother hated who showed her a cartoon, and this thing appeared in the cartoon.

Then I don’t know what happened in the cartoon, but the mother was scared away and moved its nest under the bed and let it guard it for three days.

So Kyubey is a bad cat!

Homura Akemi put a pistol to Yimi's head and said, "Who are you? An accomplice of the Incubator (Quppy's identity)? Or another hostile race in the universe? No... Judging from your reaction just now, it seems like neither of these."

Normal Hatchers have no emotions and shouldn't have the kind of mood swings they just had, but to be honest, this hostile cat was cursing at her for Kyubey's death.

"Meow~"

Yimi raised her paw and gently moved her gun away.

Homura Akemi moved back and looked at her expressionlessly: "Do you know how to use a gun? Kyubey is looking for you, or what is your purpose in looking for Kyubey? I'll give you three seconds to answer. If three seconds are up, I'll shoot."

"Three, two, one."

She counted quite quickly, but Yimi followed the rule that cats cannot talk in front of people and remained motionless, and Homura Akemi didn't actually shoot.

"Can't speak? Or is your intelligence low?"

"Meow!"
