They all think I'm a boss

"Mr. Cat, where did you go? Really, Tanuma and Nishimura Kitamoto have been looking for you."

The boy complained with some dissatisfaction, as if he believed that the strange cat-like creature on the ground could understand what he said.

However, the three-flowered cat with a bell around its neck ignored him, and just continued to gnaw the other half of the chestnut-stuffed steamed bun with its head buried in relish.

The boy sighed helplessly, and when he looked at Fujikawa beside him, a slightly apologetic smile appeared on his delicate face, "Sorry, my cat has caused you trouble."

"So it's really a cat?"

Fujikawa pointed to the opposite side who had already eaten half a piece of steamed buns, and was looking eagerly at the strange cat-shaped creature with the paper bag of steamed buns in Fujikawa's arms.

"Eh?"

The young man froze for a moment, then looked down at his chubby fat cat who was staring at the mantouliuhazi motionlessly at the moment.

"Um, although many people say that it looks like a pig, but he is indeed a cat."

The boy replied hesitantly.

Then he was scratched by a fat cat that looked like a pig.

"It seems to understand what you say."

Fujikawa stared at the opposite fat cat who was throwing a temper tantrum at the boy because of that sentence, showing a particularly dissatisfied look, and slowly said.

As soon as these words came out, no matter whether it was the boy who was tearing the fat cat off his body, or the fat cat lying on the boy's head and biting his hair, they all froze for a moment.

"How...how is it possible, Mr. Cat is only a few times fatter than ordinary cats, how could he understand what I said..."

The boy's expression looked a little flustered. He didn't seem to be very good at lying. When he said this, his eyes were always erratic, as if trying to cover up something.

And the fat cat lying on top of his head didn't have the humanized expression it had at the beginning, but started to behave like an ordinary cat, lazily licking its paws and obediently "meowing" a few times. Voice.

Fujikawa silently stared at the person and the cat for a while, until the fat cat lying on top of the boy's head was almost blown out by his stare, then he slowly looked away, turned and left without saying a word.

After he left, both the boy and the fat cat behind him heaved a sigh of relief.

"Really, it's because of Mr. Cat that you were running around, and you were almost spotted by others."

The boy complained to the fat cat lying on top of his head with some dissatisfaction.

"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have taken you with me on this school trip to Yokohama."

He seemed to be simply complaining about his dissatisfaction to the fat cat on top of his head, but if someone passed by the boy at this moment, he would definitely be startled, because the fat cat lying on the boy's head was as big as The pig-like three-colored cat actually spoke, and it was a middle-aged uncle's voice that didn't match his cute and round appearance.

"What did you say?!"

The fat cat, which was almost fat like a ball, stretched out its paws and scratched the boy's hair into a bird's nest.

"In the end, it's not because you are too stingy and refused to buy me Nanatsujiya's steamed buns!"

"But Mr. Cat, you already ate up all my snacks on the Shinkansen before you came here. If you continue to eat like this, one day you will really turn into a pig."

"I'm called plump, you know how to hammer a bean sprouts!"

"What did you say?! You fat middle-aged uncle meow!"

One person and one meow started arguing on the streets of Yokohama. Fortunately, there were not many people around, and the disturbance between the two of them was not too big, so it didn't attract the attention of others.

"But having said that, that man just now..."

Teacher Cat licked the crumbs of steamed buns on his lips, with a look of unfinished thought.

"The spiritual power in him is comparable to yours."

Moreover, the spiritual power of the black-haired man wearing the priest's uniform just now was obviously purified, much richer than the completely undeveloped spiritual power of the young man.

If human beings like Natsume who are born with sufficient spiritual power are sweet pastries in the eyes of monsters, then that man just now is a peerless treasure in the eyes of monsters. If he can be eaten, he will become a superior monster from a low-level monster Monsters are not dreams.

He almost couldn't hold back and pounced on him and swallowed him up.

Although it is said that a high-level monster like it no longer needs to increase its strength by devouring humans with spiritual power, but the spiritual power emanating from that person is too tempting.

"Then can he see monsters too?"

After listening to Mr. Cat's words, Natsume asked curiously.

It was the first time he heard Mr. Cat say such a thing. Except for Mr. Natori and the group of exorcising demon masters from the Ba family, he had hardly encountered a human being with spiritual power. A man who had only met once had a little curiosity.

"Who knows."

Teacher Cat yawned lazily, "Not all people with spiritual powers can see monsters. Besides, most monsters are dormant in deep mountains and old forests far away from the world. In a bustling metropolis like Yokohama, there are basically few monsters. This monster is willing to stay here, maybe that's why he has survived until now despite having such pure spiritual power."

Demons are more picky about their living environment than humans. A densely populated city like Yokohama with a well-developed industry has no living space for demons.

"Speaking of which, I really didn't see any monsters along the way..."

Only then did Natsume realize belatedly that since he came to Yokohama, his surroundings seemed to have been much cleaner, and he did not see those monsters who always haunted him in the past.

"Let's not talk about this, Natsume, go to Nanatsujiya and buy me some steamed buns. I want red bean and chestnut stuffing."

The chubby three-colored cat lay on the boy's head, urging him to hurry up and buy steamed buns for it.

"Didn't you just eat two?! You are not allowed to eat any more today!"

The brown-haired boy ruthlessly rejected his request, making the fat cat above his head meow in anger.

……

"What are you doing?"

As soon as Oda Sakunosuke came out of the study, he saw Fujikawa Toki squatting on the ground, staring at the puppet cat named "Wangcai" opposite him.

Fujikawa turned his head and glanced at him, then focused his attention on the beautiful puppet cat in front of him.

"I'm talking to it."

The water in Oda Sakunosuke's mouth almost didn't come out, "Why are you talking to it, it's just a cat, and it can't understand human language."

"But I just met a cat in front of a dim sum shop that can understand human language."

Although I don't know if that strange creature can be called a cat.

"Hey, can understand human speech, what kind of cat is it?"

Oda Sakunosuke was sitting on the sofa beside him with a cup of wolfberry tea, looking at Fujikawa who was still squatting on the ground and staring at Wangcai.

Since his hairline began to recede at a speed visible to the naked eye, Fujikawa Toki brought him a bunch of black goji berries, black sesame seeds, black rice, and black beans from the Chinese product store, which are said to prevent hair loss. He brought a thermos with him, and he can soak a cup of black wolfberry in it when he usually goes out.

He is only 28 this year, and he was forced to live a healthy life that a 68-year-old would live.

"Well……"

Fujikawa bowed his head and pondered for a moment, recalling the cat's appearance while searching for an appropriate adjective in his mind, and then hesitantly said, "It's a three-colored cat that looks a bit like a pig."

Or a pig that looks like a three-colored cat.

Hearing his description, Oda Sakunosuke fell silent.

He had forgotten that Fujikawa Toki was the one who could name the puppet Wangcai, so what was he expecting.

But when it comes to Sanhuamao, he remembered one thing.

"When I came back a few days ago, I also saw a three-colored cat at the door."

When he came home that day, he saw a three-coloured cat nestling motionless at the door of his house. The cat did not run away when he approached. Oda Sakunosuke thought it was a homeless stray The cat, thinking that there was already a cat at home anyway, and it would be okay to add another one, but when he opened the door to carry the three-colored cat into the house, he turned around and found that the cat had disappeared.

Thinking about it now, the security system in the place where he lives is so good, how could a stray cat come in casually? It seems that the three-colored cat squatted in his house from the beginning just to wait for him to come back. the door.

Oda Sakunosuke told this to Fujikawa Toki on the opposite side. After hearing these words, Fujikawa quietly watched the blue-eyed puppet cat opposite him who was tilting his head to show off to him.

It is said that cats are spiritual beings, but this Mr. Wangcai seems to know nothing but eat, shit, and be cute.

Perhaps God only cared about adding beauty to creatures like puppet cats when he created them, and forgot to give them brains.

……

At the other end, a thin young man was running quickly on the streets of Yokohama. The young man was running very fast and in a hurry. He bumped into many people along the way, but he didn't have time to turn around and apologize to the people he hit. He could only keep running forward, as if someone was chasing him behind.

In fact, he was indeed being chased, but what was chasing him was not a person, but a thick, thick black thing that was like mud and was still emitting a strong stench.

However, except for him and the three-colored cat that was as fat as a pig at his feet, no one present could see it.

The sticky, thick, unknown black object was rapidly crawling towards the direction of the boy. Naturally, only the boy and his three-flowered cat could notice it.

"Mr. Kitty, didn't you say that there are no monsters in Yokohama?! Then what is this?"

While running, the boy didn't forget to scold an incompetent bodyguard next to him.

"Idiot, I mean there are no demons in Yokohama, the thing chasing after you is a monster, because of..."

A certain three-colored cat running on the ground, panting, just wanted to have a good science explanation of the difference between monsters and monsters with the young man next to him, when he was interrupted directly by the young man.

"Mr. Cat, can't you swallow that lump at the back like you did before?"

The boy said anxiously, if he didn't think of a way to get rid of the unknown creature behind him, the two of them would have to explain it here today.

"Idiot! Can this thing be the same as those monsters before? If I really swallow it, I will definitely have diarrhea for several days."

A certain obese middle-aged three-colored cat couldn't run anymore, and simply jumped onto the skinny boy next to him.

The young man who was already physically exhausted was suddenly stuffed with such a heavy burden, his center of gravity was unstable, and he was about to fall to the ground.

And at this moment, a hand stretched out from the side to hold him firmly, and the boy fell directly into someone's arms with the fat cat in his arms.

At the same time, the boy suddenly smelled a hint of sweetness, like the strawberry milk he once drank.
