I am a freeloader in the anime world

A street near a mid-range apartment building in Chiba City.

At this moment, the light and shadow of May quietly fall, and Chiba ushers in the most pleasant season of the year.

The green leaves are swaying and the breeze is blowing gently, as if even the breath of nature has become lighter.

The fragrance of flowers is everywhere, and flowers of various colors are blooming, covering the land with colorful clothes.

On the street, the breeze blew gently, and the leaves of the sycamore trees swayed in the wind, making a melodious rustling sound.

Mahiru stood quietly on the street, gently holding down the hem of her skirt that was blown by the wind, waiting for the sea breeze to gradually subside.

She elegantly gathered up her scattered hair and gently pushed it behind her ears, revealing her soft yet determined face. She was like a lily blooming in the city, fresh and refined, intoxicating.

The girlish charm that was inadvertently displayed was like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, creating ripples, attracting passers-by to stop frequently, and their eyes could not help but follow, as if attracted by an invisible charm, looking sideways, and intoxicated by this pure beauty.

In this relatively quiet moment, Shiina Mahiru gently lifted up an exquisitely decorated cage, as if holding a fantastic treasure.

Inside the cage, a little tabby cat lay quietly. Its soft and thick fur gleamed with a silky luster under the dim light, as if it was wearing a layer of golden gauze.

The little tabby cat seemed to sense Shiina Mahiru's gentle breath. It opened its little mouth slightly and let out a soft meow, as if it was trying to show its affection to Shiina Mahiru.

Its eyes are half-closed and half-open, revealing a lazy and comfortable look, as if it is enjoying the comfort and ease brought by this quiet time.

Shiina Mahiru stared at the little tabby cat, with a soft light flashing in her eyes, as if she saw an innocent elf.

Shiina Mahiru gently stroked the edge of the cage, as if conveying her warmth and care, trying to soothe the kitten's inner fear and anxiety.

Shiina Mahiru knew very well that this little life had gone through many ups and downs and now had finally found a harbor to rely on.

At this moment, the whole scene is filled with a warm and peaceful atmosphere, as if time has frozen at this moment, leaving only the beautiful picture of harmonious coexistence of man and nature.

Shiina Mahiru's kindness and care not only made the little tabby cat feel warm, but also made everything around it soft and beautiful.

Her existence makes people feel the respect and cherishment of human beings for life, and makes people cherish the time of living in harmony with nature even more.

The little tabby cat in the cage was only two months old. It was abandoned three days ago at an intersection not far from the apartment where Shiina Mahiru lived.

At that time, it was huddled in a cardboard box, as if it was in a corner forgotten by the world.

Whenever someone passes by, it will cautiously stick its head out, and its round eyes will sparkle with fear and curiosity about the unknown, like two shining stars.

Its little paws tightly grasped the edge of the cardboard box, as if it was looking for a sense of security. Its appearance was extremely adorable, making people want to give it endless warmth and care.

Although Shiina Mahiru is not a cat lover, the kindness deep in her heart makes her unable to stand idly by when faced with the helplessness in the eyes of this cat.

So she decided to send this cat, which seemed to need help, to a nearby pet hospital for a check-up to see if there was any problem with its physical condition, and also to vaccinate it.

Unfortunately, this was all Shiina Mahiru could do for it.

Shiina Mahiru, who does not work part-time, relies on her family, which is not harmonious, for all her income. Under such circumstances, her daily life is not tight, but she is not rich either. Although her apartment allows pets, she does not have enough money to keep them.

Although she could get more financial support from her family by relying on Su Yang's reputation, Shiina Mahiru was not willing to do so. She didn't want him to get into trouble because of her family.

After all, one's own parents know themselves best.

Therefore, Shiina Mahiru has been living the same life as before, without any change at all.

Although people often say that when it comes to pets, there are different ways to raise them for the poor and the rich.

But Shiina Mahiru didn't want this cute little creature to suffer with her.

"I haven't seen Hoshino-kun for a long time. I've always wanted to go find him, but..."

Shiina Mahiru looked at the little takoyaki cat in the cage and said with a sigh.

Shiina Mahiru is very clear about her situation. She is known as the angel in her own school and is already very famous in nearby schools.

If Shiina Mahiru suddenly appeared in Sobu High School to find Su Yang, it would cause some sensation and might even cause Su Yang a lot of trouble.

Therefore, even though she knew that Su Yang was a student of Sobu High School, which was not far from Binhai National High School where Shiina Mahiru attended, she had always restrained the urge to look for Su Yang.

However, apart from knowing that Su Yang was studying at Sobu High School, Mahiru Shiina knew nothing else.

Of course, it's not entirely true to say that she knew nothing. She did know a little about Su Yang, Yukinoshita Yukino, and Sakurajima Mai. After all, even if she didn't deliberately ask about Shiina Mahiru, the girls in her small circle would still talk about these gossips.

The matter between Su Yang, Yukinoshita Yukino, and Sakurajima Mai is also one of the reasons why Shiina Mahiru did not go to find Su Yang.

"Oh, forget it."

Shiina Mahiru shook her head gently, with an inexplicable feeling in her heart. She once again looked at the pair of crystal clear eyes in the cage. Coincidentally, the little tabby cat was looking at her with curiosity and expectation, as if asking Shiina Mahiru: "Where are we going?"

"Let's go and meet your new master."

There was some inexplicable emotion in Shiina Mahiru's voice.

"I hope you'll like your new home, little one." Shiina Mahiru whispered, her eyes full of tenderness and expectation.
