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

"..."

Chapter 14 is flesh and blood.

After a good sleep, Yimi wanted to stretch her waist, but found herself tied up tightly. Based on her previous experience of liking to get into bed, she knew that the bed warmer was holding her dishonestly.

Yimi stretched out her claws and pressed Asuna's chest and stepped on her breasts. The feeling was better than Madoka, Reimu, Betty and Origami.

28%, this is the current restructuring progress of the system, which is very slow.

Although she took a nap in the afternoon, she slept until the next morning and missed a meal.

Yimi skillfully crawled out of Asuna's arms, staring at Asuna with her pupils that automatically dilated in the dark environment, and noticed that her brows were slightly wrinkled, as if she was having a nightmare.

The kitten reached out and touched her forehead, helping her to divert the misfortune of the nightmare away.

As a cat that loves to eat, it should be nicer to the cook, although this woman is suspected to be a weird aunt.

Yimi stretched her legs over Asuna, put on her shoes and tied her bow. Betty had said she could braid her own hair in the future, but she had never done a braid in this world before.

Her hair didn't grow longer, which meant she didn't sleep in the wild for very long.

Yimi opened Asuna's inventory and looked through it, taking out things she didn't recognize, taking a look at them, and then putting them back.

After a while, she took out a piece of meat. This was Asuna's treasured A-grade ingredient, but Yimi couldn't understand what ABC meant.

I slept through dinner yesterday, so I had to make up for it with a meal right away.

She placed the piece of meat, which was a little heavy to lift, on the chopping board, took out the kitchen utensils from the storage space, and without any sense of safety, she started a fire in the bedroom and started cooking.

With the noisy sounds and the refreshing fragrance, Asuna naturally couldn't continue to sleep peacefully.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a kitten holding a bowl. It pursed its lips into three parts with satisfaction and handed over its masterpiece.

"Thank you."

Asuna, still half-conscious, took it and tasted the soup.

"It was delicious."

“Hehe. (*^_^*)”

The kitten narrowed its eyes when it received the praise.

Since Yimi only had a pot with her, she always made soup with it. In SAO, eating is more about tricking the brain into inexplicably feeling hungry than feeding the body with real nutrients. So, drinking broth early in the morning isn't unusual.

Asuna yawned.

Perhaps because she had just experienced something unpleasant yesterday, she had a strange nightmare. She dreamed that after returning to reality, she passed by Kirito, who pretended not to know her and just walked past her. Then she arrived at the high school entrance examination site, and the people around her were talking about why she had to take the high school entrance examination at such an old age.

Just as Asuna looked up and realized the invigilator on the podium was her mother, the scene suddenly switched to a cat cafe. The owner was none other than the little one cooking in front of her. Then, she took some cat food and chose the owner from among the various cat breeds to feed and pat on the head...

Asuna took another sip of the broth in her hand, savoring it for a moment. Then, as if realizing something, she quickly opened her inventory, her expression frozen.

Her A-grade ingredients are gone.

Not only was it gone, but the broth on hand also tasted far from what an A-grade dish should be.

Then she glanced down at the cat girl, who was happily sitting in the chair, shaking her legs that were not touching the ground, and eating the kneading in her hand in the way she had taught her yesterday.

Specific process: Yimi put the bowl on the table, then stretched out her claws and grabbed the meat directly from the soup with her bare hands, transferring the hot touch away, and ate it in small bites like Asuna did yesterday.

"..."

A '＃' seemed to appear above Asuna's head.

She must have thought her cooking was delicious, and she might have even stewed a rat in her pot, even if it was just a malicious setting by Kayaba Akihiko.

He clenched his fists and was angry for a while, but finally he could only relax and sigh helplessly.

"That's not how I taught you yesterday. For this type of food, it's better to use chopsticks and a spoon."

Asuna took out the cutlery and taught her again.

“I can’t use chopsticks.”

"It's actually very simple. Come here and hold it with your fingers like this... Yeah, that's right."

"Well……"

Yimi manipulated the chopsticks unhappily.

It would be a lie to say she doesn't know how to use them. Having eaten so much in so many worlds, more than half of them require chopsticks. Origami had introduced her to chopsticks in the Elf World, and Tomoki and Madoka in the Magical Girl World even taught her step-by-step for a month.

But children's hands are small, and even if they learn how to use chopsticks, they will definitely not be able to operate them skillfully, so even if she can use them, she doesn't like to use them.

However, in Asuna's eyes, the child who had just said he couldn't use chopsticks was gradually learning to use them clumsily under her teaching.

"You killed a living child, Asuna."

She remembered this sentence.

"The living child..."

*Do NPCs have this kind of learning ability?

Asuna pinched her brows together and used her fingers to smooth down the brows that were squinting inwards.

She reached out and touched Yimi's head: "You did a great job. I only taught you once and you learned to use chopsticks so quickly."

What she showed was probably what she herself desired, normal praise rather than 'this is what you should do'.

Although this is not the case, Yimi straightened her chest and felt proud.

"but!"

Asuna quickly flicked her forehead and said, "Looking through other people's things without their permission is really bad!"

Yimi rubbed his forehead: "Because you are a weird aunt! It's not bad to go through your things."

Asuna rubbed her forehead in confusion. "The topic of weird aunt is over now. I fed you so much, and you still call me weird aunt? That's too much."

"I gave you food, too."

Yimi pointed at the unfinished broth.

Asuna held her forehead with her hand. "Don't talk about topics that make me even angrier."

She glanced at her friends list, but Kirito's name was no longer on it because he had deleted her due to the misunderstanding yesterday. Although, as a solo player, Kirito rarely had permanent friends.

Things seem to be getting a bit out of hand...

Asuna rubbed Yimi's head again. The feeling was just as good as in a dream. "I have something to do. You stay home and don't run around."

"I'm going out to play!"

Yimi objected again.

The weird aunt has no right to ask the cat to stay in one place.

"Come back and I'll teach you how to cook."

"Well."

Yimi sat down obediently.

Maomao knows very well that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish, and it is better for the maomao to cook delicious food by himself than to have a chef who cooks delicious food.

"Well, if I don't see you when I come back, I won't teach you how to cook."

After making a slight threat, Asuna turned and walked out of the room.

After going out, she did not leave immediately, but stood at the door and waited for a minute, then suddenly opened the door.

"Well?"

Yimi took out a fairy tale book from the storage space and looked at Asuna in confusion.

"I forgot to take something."

Asuna sheepishly walked to the bedside and pretended to take something from under the pillow.

Even if she is not around, she will have her own things to do, her own thinking ability, behavior, and personality.

After hearing her say that, Kirito would of course be angry.

So this misunderstanding must be cleared up.

Asuna, who was given a holiday by Heathcliff, walked towards the conference room. As long as the wild area boss was still here, the conference room on this floor would never be short of people.

The sixth floor seems to be themed around puzzle games. If you have some free time, you can go there and buy a simple one to bring back.

Asuna's thoughts drifted away, and she didn't come to her senses until she returned to the meeting room.

Heathcliff was sitting in the main seat, and Kirito, who had just had an unpleasant argument with her yesterday, was there too. However, when he saw her come in, he couldn't help but lower the brim of his hat and turned his face away.

"Then gather at the village entrance in ten minutes and the battle will begin."

These were Heathcliff's words that finalized the outcome; the meeting was over.

Chapter 15: After rushing through the door.

The picture books were loaded onto the ship by Dog Eye, and most of the picture books were lost along with the ship.

In fact, Yimi has read this book many times, because she particularly likes the story about a kitten catching fish with its tail, although as a kitten herself, she definitely doesn't want to put her tail in the water.

In the previous world, Betty also gave her some picture books, but Yimi didn't like the picture books that Betty considered interesting. For Yimi, the stories that required common sense from that world to understand were not as good as watching "The Kitten Fishing" again.

But no matter how much I like a story, I feel bored after reading it too much.

Yimi climbed onto the table by stepping on a stool, opened the window and looked at the passers-by on the street, which was originally a privilege only granted to the owner of the room.

People on the street were moving according to the regulations, and NPCs in some shops stood from morning to night, and were rarely absent except for their sleep time at night.

After coming into this world, Yimi has never even seen other cats, otherwise she would run over and play with them to pass the time. It is really annoying to ask her to stay in one place without giving her toys.

Yimi changed back to cat form, observing the room from a smaller perspective. She was almost unaccustomed to this appearance after being in human form for so long. But after changing back, some seemingly ordinary furniture could become parkour terrain.

The cat form has many advantages over the human form, such as greatly improved speed and physical strength, and more importantly, the sense of smell. Therefore, she smelled several familiar scents floating in the air just after she turned back into a cat.

Because you have to taste the food, and some monsters can be tracked by smell, this game still has an olfactory mechanism that is easily overlooked.

The smell of Kirito, the smell of the strange aunt, and the smell of the bad guy in black who I saw in front of the tombstone before.

These were all encountered up close, so even the humanoids could remember their smells.

"Meow?"

Yimi walked towards the window and followed the direction of the bad guy in black.

I will kill them all, kill them all!

……

Instead of watching other players dying in this game, it is better to join in and play a role together. This is the idea of ​​Akihiko Kayaba, the mastermind behind the death game.

No, anyone behind this would have done the same. Kayaba Akihiko never wanted to see tens of thousands of people struggling to survive, only to be wiped out in this world.

Heathcliff, the top figure in the strategy group and even among all players, is actually the alias of Kayaba Akihiko. Compared with other players who were transformed back to their original appearance by him, he still despicably retains the appearance he created.

But in fact, he couldn't even be considered to have invested in the player character, because the account Heathcliff was originally an administrator account that had existed during the internal testing period.

That being said, if he wasn't in the strategy team, the progress probably wouldn't have been so fast and smooth. He did make a lot of contributions to reducing sacrifices.

Geographic Tracks, this is the wild area BOSS that is stuck directly at the village entrance on the 56th floor. Due to the terrain bonus, it is simply an overpowered thing if you fight it head-on. However, as long as you can attack its belly, it is actually easy to defeat it.

It is also very simple to attack its belly in this terrain. If a player does not return at night but walks in the fountain instead, the little girl NPC who opened the door for Kirito and Klein will go over to talk to him and give him a hint on defeating the Geo Crawler.

It was a nursery rhyme that could make the Geo Crawler fall asleep directly. Then, when it fell asleep, the player could take the opportunity to attack its weakness and kill it.

Of course, he would definitely not tell this information directly to others. A hidden element is interesting only when it is discovered by the players.

And because it was only the third day, the tactics he employed were nothing more than a tactic of luring the enemy that was doomed to fail. His reputation of invincibility had to be shattered a few times in due time to dispel any doubts that might arise, just like a cheating player who still had to perform a little.

"I should have given you another task."

At the door, Heathcliff deliberately expressed his doubts to Asuna with words that sounded a little impolite.

In fact, while explaining this to the others, he also reminded Asuna that she should take care of the more important things, which was to take care of the Bugnpc that actually appeared last year.

"Things have stabilized over there."
