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

The Earth Spirit Temple seemed to have a lot of pets, but their owners could read minds, so it would be hard to trick them by saying it was a panda.

She lifted her foot and gently moved Yimi aside: "Why don't you leave? Are you waiting for me to defeat you? Don't monsters need to work? Go get a job and pay me back the five million yuan for tea."

"Well."

Yimi turned over and changed back into human form, reaching out to grab Reimu's coin.

Reimu moved the coin away from her so she couldn't grab it. "What? Can't this transform into a human form? What style of clothes is this? It looks like something from a picture book."

Most of the clothes in Gensokyo are ancient style or Western style.

Yimi stared at her imperial coin. Apart from the broom, this was the first time she had seen a stick straighter than the one she picked up.

Looking down at the talisman that had automatically fallen off as he transformed into a human, Koneko began to worry about his mission: "How can I become a Hakurei shrine maiden?"

Reimu crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes. "As a youkai, you actually want to be a Hakurei shrine maiden. I've never heard of such a thing. Are you a little person from a picture book?"

Occasionally, one can see some picture books from outside the world in Xianglin Hall, but the kind-hearted Reimu is not as dishonest as Marisa, so she always reads them at his place before coming back.

The kitten pointed at her and said, "Can you come down and let me be your boss for a while?"

"No, unless I'm dead."

"Oh……"

Yimi bit her finger and asked, "When will you die?"

"..."

……

If you don't want to be pawned, then don't be pawned. Why are you so fierce? The cat doesn't mind your rudeness because you gave it dried fish to eat.

The cat is going to go somewhere else to be a Hakurei shrine maiden.

Yimi, who had no idea what Hakurei meant to Gensokyo and what the shrine maiden represented, walked out, took out her small wooden stick and started knocking and hitting, destroying all the plants on the road that were taller than herself.

The road leading out of Hakurei Shrine is called Beast Road, a winding road in the woods between the shrine and the human village, where some sinister monsters often appear.

In a sense, this necessary route is one of the reasons why no one visits the Hakurei Shrine.

As the name suggests, Renjianzhili is a village where humans live. After all, it is the place that maintains the balance between humans and monsters.

Although humans look much more normal than those in the sailing world, the clothing styles of these guys are something Yimi has never seen before, and they even avoid her.

Even though it's a place people live in, youkai do occasionally wander in. Unless they're a rare, well-integrated character, everyone tends to avoid them if they see one or two unsuspecting creatures brazenly entering the village.

If someone is more sensitive, they might even notify the local vigilantes. After all, there was a cat demon with two tails that looked like a child and liked to come here and harass people whenever it had nothing to do.

"Well……"

As a result, the kitten was walking well when suddenly someone picked it up from behind.

"Where are you from, little monster? Why have I never seen you before?"

The person behind changed from carrying to hugging, and turned Yimi around so that she could look at him.

This is a white-haired woman who wears a big bow on her head like Reimu, but her main color is white with a red base. She wears a white shirt on top and overalls with talismans on them on her lower body.

Fujiwara no Mokou, a girl who possesses the power of the phoenix and has taken the immortality elixir.

"Rua!"

The kitten pinched its nose in disgust: "You smell bad!"

"Nonsense, I take a shower every day."

Meihong put her down, grabbed her collar suspiciously and sniffed inside.

"A smell of cigarette smoke."

Yimi took two steps back away from her.

"Is it so obvious? Oh no, I have to go to Huiyin's place soon... No, where did you come from, monster? What do you want to do in the human world? Did the cat with two tails send you here?"

Meihong tapped Yimi's forehead.

Koneko put her hands on her hips and said, "I am the Hakurei shrine maiden."

"Ok?"

Meihong stared at the cat ears on her head and almost couldn't hold it in: "I know, go play somewhere else."

She held onto Yimi's shoulders and turned her around, then squatted down to show her a clear path: "Go out this way and you'll see a road. Follow this road and you'll see a shrine. There should be a lazy Kohaku sitting there. Tell her that you're the Hakurei shrine maiden and tell her to get lost."

Yimi turned back unhappily and looked at the woman who gave her bad advice: "That's where I came from."

"Oh huh?"

Meihong was very disappointed that she failed to deceive her, and she stood up and rubbed Yimi's head.

It feels pretty good.

"So you were sent by the Red and White Witch to my territory to collect protection money?"

"No."

Yimi's ears drooped downwards, responding to her head pat, "Kohaku said that if she dies I will be the Hakurei Miko."

Meihong's hand froze as she petted the cat: "What the hell?"

What kind of plane?

Never mind, it has nothing to do with her anyway.

Meihong moved her hand away: "You don't have any demonic power... Forget it, don't mess around where humans live. If I catch you, I'll spank you and throw you out."

She put her hands in her pockets and was about to leave like a sly person.

But she didn't expect that this little guy would dare to take a step forward to stop her.

"What, you want to fight?"

Meihong rolled up her sleeves.

"You haven't given me food yet."

Yimi pointed at her head in dissatisfaction.

Another big cat who doesn't know the rules.

"You get food for a pat on the head? Is that the rule in the cat demon community?"

Meihong looked down at her hands, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly: "Okay, I'll take you to eat. But..."

She bent down, grabbed Yimi's little hand and lifted it up, then took out a cigarette box from her pocket, pinched out a cigarette, crushed the tobacco leaves on the kitten's palm, and smeared it all over.

"When you see another older sister later, tell her that the smell of your cigarettes infected me..."

Chapter 4 Big News.

Terakoya is a private school in the human world. The teacher is the half-beast Kamishizawa Keiin, who appears as a girl with long blue-white hair, a scholar's hat, and a long skirt.

You can tell her identity just by listening to her name, Bai Ze, the auspicious beast from Kunlun. This is also one of the main reasons why humans can easily accept her existence and feel at ease sending their children to attend classes here.

"Ah woo~"

At this moment, she was holding her shoulders with her hands, carefully examining her good (girl) friend Fujiwara no Mokou, because the kitten she had coaxed over was now sitting on the desk and trying hard to bite a skewer.

Meihong looked away guiltily and corrected Yimi's posture: "Don't eat it upright. Aren't you afraid of poking your mouth? Horizontal like this... If you put it aside, the oil will drip onto your clothes!"

Don’t just look at some children because they look cute. Once you give them food, their dirty side starts to show.

"Well……"

Huiyin grabbed Yimi's greasy little hand, sniffed it, and asked, "Child, what brand of cigarettes do you smoke?"

"brand?"

Yimi looked up in confusion.

"It's just that the types are different. You see, the barbecue you're eating now should be sold by Yamashita, but in addition to Yamashita, Inoue also sells it. But the taste and price are different. This is considered a brand."

Huiyin patiently explained to Yimi.

Yimi's ears moved and he tugged at Meihong's clothes: "What brand of cigarettes should I smoke?"

The confession was not arranged in advance.

"Wow! The oil from your hands got on my clothes! No, you're selling me out?"

Meihong quickly took off her dirty claws and looked at Huiyin nervously.

As expected, I saw an angry look.

"Meihong, sit up straight!"

"Wait, give me five minutes and I can come up with another explanation!"

Huiyin pulled her over and confronted her face to face: "Didn't you promise me that you wouldn't smoke anymore? And now you're actually lying to a child!"

"What little kid? She's not a human! A three-digit age isn't too much, right?"

Meihong shook left and right trying to break free.

"Three digits?"

Yimi lowered her head and pulled out three fingers, not knowing what this meant.

"Boom!"

Huiyin headbutted Ling Meihong, who fell to the ground in the corner.

Yimi opened her mouth, jumped off the table and poked Meihong.

"Congratulations to the host for achieving [No response, just a corpse], rewarded with 5% portal energy."

"She's dead!"

The cat opened its mouth wide and looked at Huiyin in shock.

This bad woman killed the woman who fed the cat!

"Don't worry, she won't die even if the world is destroyed, and I know how to act with discretion."

Huiyin took out toilet paper and helped Yimi wipe her dirty hands.

I'd also like to explain Yimi's question: "Three-digit numbers usually refer to the 'hundreds' place. 1 to 9 are generally the 'ones' place, 10 to 99 are the 'tens' place, and 100 is the 'hundreds' place."

Yimi counted on her fingers: "I am, single-digit age."

"Well, he's a very smart kid."

Huiyin nodded in satisfaction, but was a little surprised: "Is it actually a little demon that was just born not long ago?"

Her eyes gleamed slightly. "Well, no matter what race they are, children of this age should study hard."

Although it was originally a private school for human children, the children she taught said that her courses were too boring, and even Meihong was unwilling to audit them, so the number of her students was actually not as large as expected.

Until one day Huiyin noticed a mischievous goblin sneaking into her classroom to play a prank. The goblin also looked like a child and was not very smart. Only then did she discover a new world.

Many monsters don't necessarily eat humans, but why do they bully humans? It's because they haven't received formal education.

Looking at their behavior, apart from their different lifespans and some strange abilities, they are actually no different from human children.

So Huiyin began to capture some child-like monsters that were not particularly strong and needed to be educated, and brought them here to teach them.

The one in front of me is almost the same age as a human child, so he needs even more education.

Huiyin squatted down, squinted her eyes and smiled as she asked Yimi: "Child, do you want to learn knowledge?"

"No, I want to be a Hakurei shrine maiden."

Yimi shook her head and refused.

"what?"

Huiyin was a little confused.

"According to her, that red and white city management officer seemed to be planning to pass the position to her. I don't know what's wrong with him."

Meihong has recovered to full health and stood up to brush off the dust on her body.

"Boom!"
