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

That is, she unlocked an achievement and got a chance to draw a lottery, but the prize she drew told her how to unlock the next achievement.

Yimi looked down at her own hands, unable to figure out for a moment whether she had made a profit or a loss.

It was at this time that the office door was opened.

"Teacher Lingyin...Oh, why is Yimi here?" Shizhi walked in pretending to be surprised.

Seeing Shizhi, Yimi quickly jumped down and hid behind Lingyin: "Trash."

"..."

Lingyin closed her eyes: "Xiao Shi... Shizhi, what are you holding in your hand?"

Shizhi picked up the box in his hand and said, "It's delicious strawberry pudding. I brought it with me on purpose."

According to Ratatoskr's statistics, Yimi ate more of this flavor on their last date.

"Hmm?" The little girl poked half of her head out from behind Lingyin.

Shiori, who was listening to the external aid in his headphones, raised his eyebrows and was forced to say something a little greasy: "Because I always carry it with me, waiting for a child who likes it to meet me again by chance."

Chapter 21: Sharing Misfortune is Much Better

We made a date successfully, that’s great.

But it would be better if it could be closer to me.

Shizhi looked at Yimi who was eating ice cream carefully, as if he was afraid that his spiritual power would be sealed by her. The little guy was hiding most of his body behind a tree five meters away and secretly watching her. When he saw her looking at him, he quickly retracted his head.

"Don't be so afraid of me. I won't seal your spiritual power without Yimi's permission."

Before going on a new date, even though it was something unrelated to the date, she still wanted to ask, "Speaking of which, how did Yimi get picked up by Origami?"

"A cat dealer who sells cats." Yimi raised his paw.

I have absolutely no idea what this kid is saying.

"Uh... I don't mean to keep Yimi away from Origami. Origami might... not like elves that much?" Shiori really couldn't think of how to express it tactfully.

"Shiori, be careful, don't do anything that will make the elves hate you!" Kotori warned through the headphones.

But Shizhi ignored his sister this time. He squatted down, lower than Yimi, patted her shoulder, and put on a serious expression. He asked in a tone not related to the strategy plan: "I don't think it's Yimi, but can I ask you something? Five years ago, there was a large-scale fire in Tiangong City. Does this Yimi remember you?"

The kitten counted on his fingers and answered honestly: "Yimi has only been in the world for a few days."

"Swoosh." Shiori breathed a sigh of relief.

"Because Origami, the sister who brought you to school, had her parents murdered five years ago. It's said that the murderer was an elf that emits pure white light. This is why she hates elves so much."

"Hmm? Not me."

"I believe it's not Yimi, but the white-haired elder sister might not be able to calm down and listen to the explanation."

The kitten bit its thumb nail in confusion.

She only understood that Shizhi didn't want her to reveal the fact that she was an elf that could emit white light.

A loading bar seemed to appear above Yimi's head, because she suddenly realized that she had never known what an "elf" was.

"Let's put the persuasion aside for later, Shiori. Although I know what you said is important, any behavior that may cause emotional entanglement during the conquest period will only create obstacles for yourself. Now open the shutter in front." Kotori gave instructions through the headset.

There was no intention of blaming her. After all, the situation this time was indeed special. Last time, after leaving Yoshino, Yoshina was just a motionless puppet, and Shiori easily took it back.

This time, Shizhi did as she said. Someone had put the tricycle that Yimi had given her last time into the warehouse behind the rolling door.

She bent over and pushed the tricycle out: "Yimi, do you still remember this?"

"I don't have any more." The kitten spat out the cream that was on the tip of his tongue and returned it to Shizhi.

She only had a tricycle to give to the small fry as a reward.

"No, I want to give it back to you." Shizhi felt helpless. She didn't understand why this child always felt that others had to ask for something in return for their kindness to her.

Although strictly speaking it is pretty much the same...

Shizhi showed his signature gentle smile: "As a qualified adult, I will not take away Yimi's favorite toy."

"I don't like it. I've already given it to you." The kitten shook its head.

Although the tricycle is fun, she can’t stand the noise after riding it for a long time.

Thinking Shizhi disliked this thing, Yimi added: "It's very useful, it can kill people."

It's strangely terrifying that a little kid would say something like that as a matter of course.

"Then it is also a good partner for Yimi to protect herself. How can I take it away?"

"It would be better to transfer the misfortune away." Seeing that Shizhi didn't take the ice cream, Yimi simply stuffed it into her pocket.

Shizhi took it out helplessly, but it still couldn't change the fact that the clothes were sticky.

"If we can avoid it, we should not let innocent people get hurt for no reason..." The girl scratched her face. Although she understood, this ability did make her feel a little uncomfortable.

She seemed to have thought of something and held up a finger. "Speaking of which, what is the principle behind Yimi's misfortune transfer? At that time, I seemed to be able to vaguely see people from all over the world."

"Why are you still talking about abilities with others and forgetting the main purpose?" Kotori complained unhappily in the headphones.

"Throw away the 'misfortune'." Yimi didn't quite understand. Since she came to this world, she had never seen the saint's phantom preach to her again.

"Then can we divide this 'misfortune' into several parts and share it with others? That way, no one will die, right?"

Shizhi started to come up with some bad ideas: "For example, if Yimi were to suffer a fatal attack, and find a hundred people who are playing the game to draw cards to share the misfortune, they would only bear the small cost of not shipping the game, right?"

"Ah, what nonsense are you talking about! What do you mean by a small price? I'll lose my wife!" The voice of a otaku in the strategy group could be heard in the headphones, and it gradually became smaller, as if he was being dragged away.

Yimi looked at Shizhi in confusion, not understanding what she was saying at all, and she didn't... at least now she had only merged with part of the remains and didn't have such strong control.

"Isn't this a bit too embarrassing... Yimi likes sweet things, right? Have you tried macarons?" Shizhi abruptly changed the subject.

Yimi put her hands behind her back and said, "I don't have anything to exchange with you."

"So everyone says this is a gift from me to Yimi." Shizhi reached out and rubbed the little girl's head before she spoke.

"No reason, I don't want anything in return, I just like Yimi. What I want to see is Yimi's happy expression after receiving the gift, not the worry of giving back."

Yimi raised her finger and pointed at her: "Then you swear that you will never play with that big idiot again."

"...Good boy, you can't do this."

Hearing this clear voice of the child calling out this name again still made me feel very sad.

Yimi's declining favorability towards her was largely due to Meijiu. She hoped that Meijiu would come over and apologize, and Meijiu herself also showed a willingness to apologize (more due to the fact that she discovered that Yimi was a cute girl). However, she did not forget the fact that the little girl's favorability towards her had dropped a lot before Meijiu appeared.

This must be understood before the strategy can proceed.

Shizhi looked down at the little girl's mouth covered in ice cream, a mouth that was only used for eating.

As if seeing what Shizhi was thinking, Yimi took small steps and moved away from her: "I won't seal you."

"Can I ask the reason?" Shiori sat on the edge of the flower bed and patted his side to signal the other party to sit down.

Yimi didn't dare to get close to her: "I want to go home."

"Go home?" The first thing Shiori thought of was Origami's family, thinking that he had made the other party unhappy.

Yimi wondered, "Don't you have a home?"

Chapter 22 Earth OL

This sentence, combined with Yimi's previous behavior of smearing honey on her lips, made Shizhi think for a moment that she was scolding him.

But then she realized that the other party had mentioned grandma during their last date. But this was strange because the little girl herself said that she had only been in this world for a few days.

Did Yimi just lie to her? But this child doesn't look like a liar.

Well, it doesn't look like someone who would call someone a 'big idiot'.

She tried her best to swallow her doubts and replied gently: "If Yimi wants to go home, I will help you. Let's make a deal. I will help Yimi find your home. In exchange, how about going on a real date with me afterwards?"

Because Yimi deliberately kept a distance from her, she didn't lower her voice either.

"Dating, what is this girl saying to the child..."

"Should we call the police? Or is this just the older sister playing a prank on her younger sister?"

"You must be kidding me. Look at the time now. High school and elementary school students haven't even finished school yet."

"..."

He was pointed at and talked about by passers-by. After all, he was in a busy area and there was no space shock to cover him.

"Host, there is currently no inter-dimensional travel in this world, and it will not be of any help to the host in traveling across time."

The cat was a little frustrated when he heard this prompt: "You can't help me."

"why?"

"Mom is in another world."

"..."

Because of the conflicting nature of Yimi's words, Shizhi couldn't figure out for a moment whether it was meant literally or whether the child didn't realize what death meant. She was more inclined to the former.

Because of the examples of Kotori, Kurumi and Miku who lived in the world for a long time, she almost forgot that Tohka once said that when she was not sealed, she spent most of her time in a forced hibernation in a place called "Neighboring World", and the principle of space shock was actually a by-product of the spirits coming from the "Neighboring World" to reality.

Could it be a special world where many elves live?

She placed her hand on the little girl's head and rubbed it: "Although I don't quite understand, can Yimi get home by herself?"

Ratatoskr intercepted all the available surveillance footage, and it can be seen that the little girl has been basically sleeping and foraging on the streets these days, and has done basically nothing serious. Doesn't this prove that she is not capable of going home?

It's like the other way around, the other elves are thinking about how to continue staying in the real world, but Yimi seems to want to go back but can't?

"You can't help me." Yimi shook her head and shook off her hand. "I won't seal you. I don't have money to give you."

Under Shizhi's puzzled gaze, she trotted out to a more crowded place.

"Wait, we just came out. Yimi, don't you want to eat something delicious?"

For a moment, Shizhi thought she would suddenly take out a child-proofing alarm and set it off, but that was not the case.

Yimi was indeed ready to run away, but before leaving Lingyin's office, she drew a very strange note, which contained a completion hint for a random other achievement.

After taking a look at the prompt, Yimi found that there were words that he didn't recognize, but miraculously he was able to understand it.

The kitten stood in the crowd, opened his arms to the sky as written on the wall, and shouted:

"I've had enough of this game. I'm quitting!"

Then he used his newly upgraded stand ability, and the dazzling holiness enveloped Yimi's entire body, almost blinding the eyes of many passers-by who had spent money on the game.

Shizhi was so frightened when he saw this scene that he couldn't understand why the little girl suddenly appeared as an "angel" in public.

Then the white light vanished, taking the little girl with it. Taking advantage of the moment when everyone was too stunned to look directly at her, she transformed back into a kitten and slipped away. It looked like a flash of white light and then she was gone. The passersby were startled and looked up at the azure sky with doubtful eyes, as if they were staring into a false curtain.

“…What’s going on?” Shizhi held his forehead with his hand.

This date fell through even more suddenly than the last one, but I finally had a clue.

"Congratulations to the host for unlocking the achievement [Earth OL], and the bonus number of lottery draws is +1."

"Meow?"

It’s the number of draws again. Will the cat be given another clue?

"smoke."

"Animation automatically skipped for host."

[Skill Book: Insect Manipulation]: Forgo the shrimp-headed sword and add the perfect insect manipulator. You can learn the insect manipulator skill 3 from "Monster Hunter: World & Iceborne".

Learning difficulty: difficult

Another book.

Yimi looked at the book, which was almost as thick as a textbook, unhappily. She opened her little mouth and nibbled a hole in it, and the knowledge immediately seeped into her mind.

The system spoke a fixed phrase: "The sweat of study and hard work is poured out upon the earth, but the sweetness after the bitterness is always worth savoring. After thousands of days and nights of deep contemplation and painstaking practice, the hard work has finally paid off. Congratulations to the hardworking host for mastering the difficult skill [Insect Manipulation Stick]."

Yimi felt that the skills of wielding a stick, or rather a gun, were completely useless compared to fishing.

The cat raised its feet, wanting to run back to school and lie down with the person who looked like its grandmother.
