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

"Zouyu Shiori."

"..."

"Congratulations to the host for achieving the achievement [Female Imp], and be rewarded with 5% portal energy."

"Meow?"

Shiori didn't feel like he was being scolded at all, but he still inexplicably had the urge to teach this little thing a lesson. However, since Kotori didn't remind him, that meant his favorability toward him didn't drop sharply, right?

She looked at the little girl in front of her: "Do you like this dress, Yimi?"

I have to praise the staff of Ratatosk here again. They were able to make suitable custom clothes according to her requirements in less than two minutes.

Because the tail directly restricts the skirt, it cannot be as eye-catching and stunning as previous elves. The white shirt with a cartoon cat pattern and light-colored shorts are what Shiori thinks little girls should wear. In fact, it received unanimous negative reviews from Ratatoskr and others.

Even so, the poorly educated Shiori couldn't think of how to dress the cat girl in a pretty little skirt in reality. When she was a child, she made clothes for the cat girl doll because the doll's tail really couldn't swing.

The only brightly colored thing that could make Ran Yimi happy was the over-the-knee socks covering her legs. The flashy pink and white color perfectly matched the cat's aesthetic taste, but she felt a little uncomfortable with her toes still being covered by shoes and socks.

If it weren't for these socks, the kitten, who can only wear shirts and shorts, with short hair that only reaches the neck, would probably give people the illusion of being a handsome boy with long hair.

Thinking of this, Shizhi took out a hairpin to help her decorate her hair a little.

"like."

Before Shiori could even begin to wait for Ratatoskr's options, Yimi made her own appeal: "Pudding."

I haven't forgotten why I came here.

"Ah, please follow me."

Shiori wanted to hold the other person's hand, but seeing that the little girl continued to walk beside her with a fat gait, she withdrew her hand awkwardly.

After they left the area, Ling Yin asked two staff members to shovel some soil to fill the "huge hole" in the small garden to prevent passers-by from falling into it accidentally.

The dessert shop is also staffed by Ratatoskr. It doesn't mean that they have to push civilians away every time they attack elves. It's just that they felt that Yimi was a little dangerous at the beginning.

"Order, please."

The receptionist, dressed in a shop assistant's uniform, was a familiar face: Murasame Reine, Ratatoskr's analyst and their physics teacher and homeroom teacher. A silver-haired beauty, no more than twenty-five, she looked half-dead from excessive cultivation.

"Uh-oh!"

The woman who looked ordinary except for her identity attracted Yimi's attention at this moment. He circled around her with sparkling eyes, looked left and right, and finally sniffed her.

Lingyin turned her head away somewhat unnaturally.

"What's going on? How come her affection for Reine suddenly surpassed Shiori's!" Kotori opened her mouth wide, causing the lollipop in her mouth to fall out.

Because in addition to Shiori, the protagonist, the passers-by they arrange may also inadvertently do things that the elves find offensive, so there are indeed passers-by values ​​in inconspicuous positions that you would not usually pay attention to.

For a moment, he surpassed Shiori, even reaching full strength, but soon fell back. Even so, his affection for Shiori is still about the same. Is it because he is a child that he likes this type of person?

Before she could remain confused for long, Yimi immediately pointed at Lingyin and gave her a new nickname: "Someone who looks a lot like grandma."

And the smell on her body is also fragrant.

"?" Ling Yin was stunned: "How are they similar?"

Yimi moved her fingers to the dark circles under her eyes: "You look almost exhausted."

Yimi had used the mirror to look at herself in her kitten form before, and she herself had dark circles under her eyes, which was evidence that the cat and her grandmother were related.

"..."

Tong Yan Wuji.

But in other words, this can also be regarded as one of the evidences that this elf is more human than cat.

Lingyin handed over the menu expressionlessly. If you look closely, you can see that options like coffee and chocolate have been removed. It seems that they took into consideration that Yimi might feel uncomfortable with such items like a real cat.

Seeing that the other party didn't move, Shizhi, who had experience in dealing with people without common sense, explained to her: "This is the order form. You can choose what you like to eat, and then I will pay for it for you."

Yimi leaned closer to Shizhi with doubt, her childish breath almost hitting the girl's face: "What should I pay you?"

The cat has learned the truth about the world, but the ignorant big cat ignored her.

"This is my treat, you don't need to pay anything..." Shizhi waved her hands quickly, feeling a little guilty. After all, her ultimate goal was to kiss the child in front of her who could be considered a young girl in order to seal her spiritual power.

"Let's order first."

Yimi sat back down and pointed at the menu: "Only one?"

"If it won't be wasted, you can order a few more." Shizhi looked down at the table and saw the little girl's feet, wrapped in leather shoes, dangling faintly and unable to reach the ground. How much can a child of this age eat...

"Want them all!"

"...Can you finish it?" Is she really the same species as Tohka?

Fortunately, Ratatoskr already had experience in dealing with Tohka, so he didn't seem to be flustered in this situation.

But when the pudding was served, the girl reached out and grabbed it without saying a word!

"Wait a minute, at least respect the spoon next to you!" Shizhi took out a napkin to wipe her mouth, sat next to her naturally, grabbed her little hand and taught her how to hold the spoon.

"Look, if you use this, your hands won't get sticky after eating, right?"

"trouble."

Even though we have evolved such convenient hands, we still need to carry tools with us when eating in the future.

"As expected of Shiori, he's full of boyfriend energy," Kotori praised through the headphones, "but should I say he's really a child? Even so, the intimacy and shyness are stuck there and won't rise."

The subordinates around him reminded: "A normal little girl wouldn't be shy when faced with the intimacy of an older sister."

"It's obviously my elder sister's strength. This is how I treated you when you were a child." Gokawa Shiori murmured in his heart.

"But at the beginning she seemed to ask about the original elves. Maybe this is a breakthrough about her past." A subordinate below suggested.

"Indeed, this topic may very well lead to a disaster, but after all, she brought it up herself... Anyway, Shiori should take the risk first." If he didn't take a step forward, the progress might get stuck here.

"I understand." Shizhi responded subconsciously in a low voice.

Yimi raised her head and looked at her in confusion.

"Ah...what is the original elf that Yimi mentioned before? Can you tell me about it?" Shizhi supported her cheeks with her hands, trying her best to act like a caring older sister.

"What a big idiot!" I get angry when I mention this cat.

"Big, big what?" Shizhi lost his grip and hit his chin on the table.

She must have heard it wrong. What words just came out of that pretty little mouth?

Shiori noticed that Reine, who was standing in the aisle waiting for orders, looked over here. Although Miss Reine appeared unmoved, she must have been shocked in her heart that such a young child could utter such dirty words.

"It's purple hair." Yimi touched her hair and tried to describe Youxiao Meijiu's appearance in more detail.

Shiori noticed that Miss Reine's gaze was more serious than usual. As Ratatoskr's analyst, she was carefully taking note of every detail, which was very conscientious.

Speaking of which, although Miss Lingyin has silver hair, it also looks a bit purple in dim light hh.

"Why is Yimi so hostile to her?"

"She scolded me."

"..."

Suddenly I didn’t want to ask about the details anymore. So the original elves were such extreme people?

"Would you like to go for a walk after we finish eating? Later... um, there's a temple fair on that road where you can catch goldfish."

"goldfish!"

It is easy to grasp the preferences of children.

Chapter 10: It will be fine when you become big cats

Compared with other elves, Yimi's entertainment projects are more suitable for younger children. Children of this age are not so interested in shopping unless you buy her toys or take her out to play.

To this end, Ratatoskr built a street fair on the spot and replaced all the stalls with ones that little girls (according to the Commander's opinion) would like.

Overall, the date went pretty smoothly.

"You are a good guy."

Yimi was carrying a bag filled with goldfish and walking with a gait that was strange but not at all out of place on a child.

She held the little goldfish in front of her eyes, opened her mouth to reveal her little fangs, and her eyes flashed with a different kind of luster from innocence.

Goldfish: Danger

The kitten caught a goldfish, put it in his mouth, chewed it briefly and ate it in front of Shizhi.

Shizhi: "..."

"The favorability is already very high, but there is still a lack of an opportunity. Do I have to help her find trouble with the First Elves?" Qin Li pressed her fair neck with a headache.

"That's not good," Lingyin, who had been teleported back to the spaceship at some point, said, "To offend another Pokémon just for the Pokémon you're trying to capture, it's not easy to make a child feel shy towards someone else."

"I was just saying it casually. After all, even if I were to teach Shiori how to pick up girls, I wouldn't use this age group as a reference."

"How did you overlook the fact that this kid just ate a goldfish alive..." Shiori muttered to himself in a voice so low that it was almost inaudible.

Eating pudding, visiting the amusement park, catching goldfish...except for watching movies which is a very bad choice to improve the favorability, we have taken this child to play almost all the games that can be played. As far as I can see, the progress has been stuck.

Yimi turned around and practiced walking backwards, facing Shizhi: "What do you want? I don't have any money to give you."

"You don't have to pay me..." Shiori looked down at the pair of furry ears helplessly, trying his best to restrain his desire to reach out and touch them. Before truly completing the strategy, he tried to avoid any behavior that might be considered an offense.

Able to eat, simple, and lacking common sense, this child has a lot in common with Tohka.

Shiori recalled the day when he sealed Tohka's spiritual power. Perhaps a girl like this is more suitable for playing straight?

As she was trying to think, she suddenly noticed that the pair of cat ears that she cared about moved, and she saw the little guy in front of her suddenly running towards the alley on the side.

"Yimi?"

The girl hurried to catch up and saw the little girl squatting in front of a cardboard box, staring at a kitten inside that looked only about one month old.

There were three calico cats of similar fur, one of which lay motionless in a corner. On the box, "Please adopt me" was written in Japanese. It was clearly a request, yet it was placed in an alley where no one would likely notice it. Perhaps they had hurriedly placed it where it wouldn't be stepped on after hearing the space quake warning.

Filled with a sense of déjà vu, Yimi recalled memories that she had almost forgotten. It seemed that she was picked up by her mother in the same way?

Maomao was shocked because she didn't remember much at that time and always thought she was her mother's biological child.

Why do both the cat and grandma have dark circles under their eyes?

"Has it been abandoned? So pitiful." Shizhi squatted beside Yimi and reached out to touch the motionless one in the corner.

It's already stiff, it looks like it has gone to the cat planet.

Noticing this as well, Yimi's ears drooped.

Shiori sighed, "This kind of thing happens all the time in the city. Office workers who lose their jobs or are transferred have to abandon their pets, but most of the time it's probably because of space tremors."

"Spacequake?" The kitten looked up at her.

Shizhi's lips moved, and he explained the truth to her: "It's the destruction caused by the appearance of the spirits, AST... I mean, the people who just attacked Yimi appeared because of this. Of course, space shock is not something Yimi can completely control."

She still couldn't help but gently rub the little girl's head.

Kotori said that Yimi was a new spirit who didn't even have a code name. Perhaps she herself didn't know what kind of damage her "coming" had caused to people.

It wasn't nice for her, a conqueror, to say such things, but if Yimi wasn't made aware of the consequences and chain reactions of her arrival, she probably wouldn't be willing to be sealed.

But strictly speaking, if the space shock caused by Yimi's appearance just now really caused casualties, then it can be considered a win.

"When a spacequake occurs, everyone needs to run for shelter, but in this society, everyone is busy with various things, and it's not practical to have someone accompany the cat 24 hours a day."

"If a space quake suddenly occurred at this time, even if the cats themselves could sense it before people could, they wouldn't be able to escape from being locked inside, and their owners wouldn't be able to return home in time to save them... Perhaps it's because Tiangong City has been experiencing so many space quakes recently that everyone is feeling the pressure..."

Shiori felt helpless. She thought about her previous date with Miku and how she tried to use the space earthquake alarm to clear out all the people in the city in order to create an environment for her to practice singing alone.

Yimi understood, because the space shock caused by her use of the spiritual equipment made the little cat homeless like her.

Cat is a bad cat, don't do this again.

"Anyway, let's take the kittens to the veterinary hospital for a checkup. If everything's ok, take them to the rescue center with some cat food... As for this one, let's bury it in the back hill."

"Bury it?" Yimi held the dead kitten in her hands and refused to give it to her.

"Well, we will bury the deceased so that they can rest in peace." Shiori picked up the cardboard box and the remaining cats together.

Although they had never thought it would be necessary, Ratatosk actually had two people who had changed their careers and had veterinary certificates. They could use the existing equipment to do some simple examinations on the cats.

Fortunately, the two surviving kittens showed no abnormalities and could be sent to a rescue center after being vaccinated and dewormed.
