Cat King rules daily life in Yokohama

Since picking up the little girl named D Le on the battlefield, Oda Sakunosuke has encountered some strange things every day.

Of course, nothing dangerous, just—

"A prank?" He pushed open the door as he was about to go to work, and once again found the dead bird on the stone steps.

Compared with the miserable situation of the previous two days full of holes, the "gift" this time has been combed carefully, and it looks like a specimen placed in a glass cabinet. sleep in general.

However, if it is a living bird, when humans approach it, it is impossible to lie down obediently.So if we delve into the reason for its appearance, I am afraid that there is no second possibility other than pranks.

He picked up the poor bird, and buried it, as before, under the big tree beside the house, giving it an eternal resting place.

"Whatever your purpose may be,"

He looked around, finally set his eyes on a cluster of low bushes, and sighed to himself: "It's best not to do such a thing again, it will scare the children."

As if expecting no response, he turned around and walked away, going to work as usual, doing trivial things no mafia would want to deal with.

After hearing his footsteps disappear completely, the bushes moved, finally revealing a pair of furry black animal ears, and then approached the window along the shelter, quietly peeking inside with a pair of green cat eyes.

Unlike ordinary homes, the first floor of this building is a curry shop with a "open" signboard. There are not many customers coming to the door, and it is often empty.The adopted children live on the second floor, and often run up and down to play, or play football in the yard.

And because the newly adopted D Le is a girl and very young, the new adoptive father will usually carry her downstairs by the window before going out, and ask the boss to take care of her.

She is now obediently holding the feeding bottle, her big round eyes looking out of the window, and then she burst into a happy smile, and said in a childish voice, "Cat, cat! This, this!"

Probably out of an intuition, she raised the bottle forward and patted the glass with one hand, wanting to share her food with the other party.

However, her strength was obviously not enough to break through the barrier, and she even attracted the attention of the boss, who raised her voice and asked, "What cat? There should be no stray cats around here..."

"Cat, cat—here!" The young child's vocabulary was very limited, and he could only choke out a few syllables after being anxious for a long time.

The middle-aged man walked over curiously, but he didn't see any stray cats at all, and instead made the little girl cry, muttering sadly: "Cat, cat, run woo woo woo—yes, cat cat! "

"Okay, okay, don't cry, the cat will come again." He coaxed her in a good voice, and at the same time he was thinking about it, so he might as well ask if there is any domestic cat in the neighborhood who gave birth to a kitten, and brought back a cat. Be a companion for the little girl.

When the exhausted Oda Sakunosuke came into the house at night and was sitting on the first floor eating curry as usual, the boss wiped the pot and put forward his own ideas to him.

"Cat..."

The red-haired man put down the spoon, paused for two seconds as if wandering, and then continued thoughtfully: "Just wait and see, it will be bad if there is a fight."

Leaving aside the confused boss, when he went out the next day, he suddenly discovered that the "prank" had become a real "gift".

——A few milky white flowers were placed at the bottom of the stone steps.

He didn't go over immediately, but turned around and went back to the house, found a clean glass bottle, filled some water, and then went out to pick up a bunch of not-so-beautiful wild flowers and put them in the most conspicuous place on the window sill. Location.

Under the morning sun, the little flowers that are desperately absorbing water show a bit of vitality, stretching their waists vigorously.

"Isn't this well done." He smiled, raised his hand to press D Le's soft, fluffy hair, and taught her a new vocabulary: "When you see him, say thank you for me."

"Huh? Ah, thanks?"

The little girl learned things quickly, with two dimples appearing on her cheeks with baby fat, she repeated sweetly: "Thank you, um, thank you!"

"Please don't close this window today." Odasaku turned his head and begged the boss behind the counter.When asked why, he replied:

"Have you heard of the cat's return? Probably, we have met the protagonist in the story."

"Hahaha, that was truly a miraculous experience." Already accustomed to his slightly off-line brain circuit, the middle-aged man sighed heartily, took out a small plate from the cabinet, poured some minced meat into it, Then he handed it to the person in front of him, "Since we are here to visit, we need to prepare some gifts in return, we can't neglect the guests."

"You are right."

The red-haired young man put the small plate full of food on the window sill, glanced at the bushes not far away, and said in a low voice: "I also hope that he can accept my 'gift' one day earlier, the second floor I've already cleaned up his room."

As in the past, he still didn't get any response. He was not discouraged, and walked out of the door as usual, and set foot on the road to the workplace.

It always seems to be the case, with the success of the first, the second and third will come naturally.

The little flowers that appeared on the stone steps gradually became a part of daily life, even more punctual than the door-to-door milkman, and full of new ideas.

Yesterday it was delicate yellow, today it will be close to the blue of the clear sky, and the next day it will be changed to rich purple, with a little dewdrops dotted in it, showing its beauty in full bloom.

"I've never seen a flower of this color around here. Where did you pick it from?" Occasionally even an old resident like the boss would be surprised, and then, as if to make up for the hard work of the other party, he hurriedly took out a fresh one. The minced meat is added to the fixed "cat bowl" all at once.

Feeding seems to have become a norm.

I don't know when, the always vigilant feline let go of his vigilance. After seeing the situation of D Le, he took a container full of food and ran to a place where no one saw him, gobbling it up. holding something.

If someone could see it, they might sigh that he is really no different from a wild cat. While eating, he would keep his cat eyes wide open and his ears pricked up, vigilantly paying attention to the movement around him.

He ate very fast, and he didn't forget to put the plate back to its original place after eating, and then left satisfied, continuing to search for beautiful wild flowers all over the mountains and plains.

As time passed day by day, the distance he needed to walk became farther and farther. When he finally stepped into the territory of the same kind, he had to fight hard and subdue a bunch of cat boys before he was able to bring the gift with him before dark. went back.

As a result, it was on this day that for the first time he ran into a formidable enemy that was a hundred times more terrifying than the "demon".

The black-haired boy was sitting at the table bored, with a game console in his hand, flipping through his records absent-mindedly, obviously looking like he couldn't find any fun.

When he keenly heard footsteps outside the door, he immediately stood up, supported the window frame with his hands, and leaned half of his body out of the window, revealing an immature handsome face, and looked over with interest.

"Oh, it's a cat."

His tone was very soft, fluttering upwards with the breeze in the setting sun, giving people a frivolous and loose impression.

However, his iris-colored eyes are too gloomy, which greatly reduces the sense of harmlessness, even if he smiles and bends his eyes, there is no way to conceal the danger.

The half-beast boy took two steps back subconsciously, his cat pupils almost narrowed into narrow thin lines, and the tail behind him also exploded, looking like he was ready to attack.

"G—don't be so fierce, I'm just curious about the 'protagonist' that Oda Saku mentioned, so I came here to take a look." The young man softly elongated the ending sound, tilted his head helplessly, and signaled: " You see, I don't have any weapons in my hands, and I won't hurt you at all."

"call--"

The other party did not listen to his words, but let out a threatening exhale, pressed his hands to the ground, then arched his back, and uttered another syllable similar to "ha".

Anyone who knows a little about cats knows that this is a warning that no approaching is allowed.Obviously, once the black-haired boy made a slight move, he would mercilessly rush forward and bite the opponent's neck.

In a world that no one else can hear, the survival instinct he has honed over the years has been frantically warning-run, run, and don't stay for a moment!

However, when he was stared at by the other party, he made too many movements at all, for fear that he would encounter some unknown attack the moment he turned around and ran away.

Fortunately, Oda Sakunosuke, who was coming home from get off work, pushed open the door at this moment, which happened to break the confrontation between them.

"Dazai, why are you...?"

"I happened to be passing by, so I came in and sat for a while." The boy called Dazai turned his head to respond, and then, as if regretting it, he sighed with emotion: "Ah~ah~ the cat was scared away——"

"Ah, it's him." The red-haired man took off his coat and put it in his arms, as if telling his own child, he said in a warm tone: "He's timid, don't scare him."

"Know it--"

Osamu Dazai sat back to his original place, took out his mobile phone with a leisurely expression, looked at the fast-moving little red dot on it, and couldn't help but smile more lazily on his lips.

"I'm very interested in him, why would I act recklessly. Hey, Oda Saku, can you go with me tomorrow? It shouldn't take long."

——After all, catching a "cat" is a very simple matter.
