I swept Yokohama with a vest

It is difficult to accurately describe Natsume Soseki's feelings and mood at that time in words.

His special ability is 'I am a cat', which can turn into a male three-colored cat.

If someone else awakens this ability, then this is an ability that is so useless that it can no longer be used. Maybe it can be ranked in the top ten list of the most useless supernatural abilities in history.

But the one who awakened it was Natsume Soseki, a person who has no supernatural powers but only trash.

So Natsume Soseki became a recognized transcendent, and even became an urban legend in Yokohama.

The importance of this ability is that generally no human being will deliberately guard against a cat, nor will he come up with ideas such as 'is this cat sent by the enemy to spy on intelligence', and there is no other cat in the world. A person with similar abilities, Natsume Soseki doesn't even have to worry about being exposed by others.

Time will change everything, and it will also turn the lucky things into regrets, such as immortality, such as having no companions.

So at a certain moment, when the Sanhua cat walks on the eaves of Yokohama with the bustling crowds below, it will feel the loneliness of the sun; at another moment, when it deftly walks out from the darkness, it will be thankful that it has no companions.

In short, the complex emotions from different angles were eagerly ignited, at this moment, on the proudly raised cheeks of the girl in front of her.

She obviously doesn't have the consciousness of a smart person, she is just proud of scaring a cat, the edge of the pool covers most of her body, only above the waist is exposed, and the bare/exposed skin is covered by half of the wet white hair Covered, only revealing one side of the white shoulder and scarlet wound.

The sun shone through her sideways face, blurring her uncomfortably quivering cat ears, bent eyes and the corners of her lips, making the cat so dazzling that it really wanted to turn around and run away.

Seemingly wondering why the three-colored cat's paws were stuck to the ground, the white-haired girl said impatiently, "Meow meow... injured meow?"

Your paw was glued by the rebels, so you hurt, can't you jump up and run away?

she asked.

Rebels refer to those humans who originally enshrined but betrayed the cat. For example, they were still smiling gently and offering tribute to the cat just now, but the next second they suddenly reached out and tried to kidnap the cat, take the cat to the hospital, and deal a heavy blow to the cat. those people.

Knowing the glue, it is because the white-haired girl once accidentally got the glue on herself—the glue bottle was regarded as an enemy, and she carried out a brave cat-cat attack, so the tip of her tail touched the glue.

The meaning of this sentence was learned by Natsume Soseki a long time later. As for now, he was entangled in a series of meowing sounds, and it took a few seconds for him to realize the distinctive pronunciation mixed in the meowing sounds. It means 'hurt'.

He hesitated and asked, "Uh, you're hurt and need help?"

Of course, what came out was meowing.

The expression of the white-haired girl is completely different from that of the person seeking help. It is not a pitiful expression, but a superior one.

After hearing the question, the arrogance on the white-haired girl's face faded a little, and she was even more puzzled and shocked: "Meow meow!"

'What kind of weird cat are you, I can't understand you! '

At the same time, the white tail that was covered by the pool began to flick impatiently, splashing some water every time it landed. The white-haired girl subconsciously shook herself, trying to shake the water off the cat's ears and hair.

The three-flowered cat, who also couldn't understand cat language and cat language, stared at the tail flicking back and forth and fell into thought. He pressed his paw back and forth awkwardly.

If I remember correctly... Ah, it is impossible to remember this kind of thing wrongly. Cats flick their tails, which is usually the prelude to attack, so is this the beginning of a battle?

How should humans and cats fight? Due to the white-haired girl's current attire, it is not convenient for him to transform back into a human, let alone fight with her in the form of a cat.

So in general, it is correct to say that the flowers meet... Anyway, she was really holding the flowers at the time!

And the truth of the first meeting, even the other party didn't have much impression, only Natsume Soseki knew.

The attention of the other party, the white-haired girl, was not on him, but on the clothes she was wearing. She put on the clothes Mao Lilan had found for her before, but she couldn't find the shoes, so she could only step on the ground barefoot On——Edogawa Ranpo found that even when she walked on the ground in human form, her feet would not get dirty dust, and she had the characteristics of cat paw pads.

Especially the white fluffy ball hanging from the hood, she shook it, and the ball followed it, which was like provoking the cat, and the cat couldn't help but want to jump up and down to catch the ball for a few seconds.

Stretching out and grabbing the ball, he helped her lose interest and solved a cat's jumping up and down battle that was about to start.

The white-haired girl: "...Tch."

Smart cats have always been assassins, the white-haired girl backed away quietly, escaped from Edogawa Ranpo into the darkness, and when she reappeared, she had already silently walked to Natsume Soseki's vicinity, and jumped at him unawares.

Then Natsume Soseki skillfully caught her and hugged her in a posture that would make her unable to move.

This is the backstage of the stage. Since a farce has just been solved, almost no one comes here. Everyone is watching the fun outside. Even the police who came to ask for the record were led to the detective kid by random steps.

The white-haired girl flicked her white cat tail, and she frowned and said, "Zhenye Kushami!".①

"Zhenye Kushami?" Edogawa Ranpo repeated, calling out another meaning that was the same as it, "Idiot?"

"...that's why Hanako's surname is Zhenye." Natsume Soseki said, he let go of the white-haired girl a little, and it was no surprise that she didn't jump away immediately, but sniffed at him, " The first Japanese she learned again was 'idiot', so she likes to use it as a modal particle or address."

Because they were adopted by Natsume Soseki, they lived together every day. Natsume Soseki corrected Zhenye Hanako's pronunciation, words, deeds, and ideas, and Hanako prolonged the sound of "stupid—" every time she was taught.

Of course, occasionally, when Natsume Soseki was in a low mood, he would lower his eyebrows every day and comfort him carefully, although he was still calling him an idiot.

Most of the time, the two cats are basking in the sun on the roof, and the white cat, which is so comfortable that its belly turns over, will bark. Anyway, the Sanhua cat can't understand what she is calling.

But these, the white-haired girl probably don't remember anymore.

Natsume Soseki paused, and said seriously, "Hanako has another question."

"In terms of memory?" Ranpo asked in a declarative tone.

According to Natsume Soseki, he should have adopted and taught the white-haired girl for a long time, but in this case, there is an obvious doubt, that is, the white-haired girl does not know who he is at all, and his behavior is still cat-talking, only Being able to communicate with people as usual and knowing how to wear clothes shows that it barely knows a little bit of human common sense.

"Yes, Hanako's memory is only for three days, and she can only remember things within three days, so once she is separated from her for more than three days, she will forget me...but if it is something important to her, she It will be memorized together with other memory background boards." The gentleman in formal attire said, and after he finished speaking, he added, "But it seems that she hasn't completely forgotten my smell yet."

For cats, neither the breeder nor the guardian cat is particularly important, only toys and cat food are.

"Hmm, Miss Kitty said before that she remembered someone forcing her to clean her wounds and wear human clothes." Luanbu said calmly, and he glanced at the white-haired girl who completely shielded the people around her, and asked the most important point , "So, who is the enemy?"

Since Miss Cat has a big memory problem, according to normal logic, her guardian will never let her wander outside for three days, so that she completely forgets her guardian, thinking that she is still a stray kitten with no taboos - and then being picked up by random steps go!

This is the arrangement of fate!

For Ranpo, Miss Cat is a cat angel who descended from the sky, and for Miss Cat [-], Ranpo is also a human angel descended from the sky. The so-called redemption of each other is like that.

Luanbu thought confidently.

Natsume Soseki glanced at Fukuzawa Yukichi who was half frowning, and smiled, "It's a difficult organization, but if you guys want to adopt Hanako, it's easy to solve."

"Sure enough, it's an official mysterious organization that is so secretive that no one knows about it." Luanbu sighed heavily, "But since it's my uncle's friend, it's easy to handle!"

After checking the relevant file records and observing secretly for a while, Natsume Soseki has a general understanding of Edogawa Ranpo, at least now he will not be surprised because he seems to know something out of thin air for a moment.

"...Is it a hunting dog?" Fukuzawa Yukichi was no longer silent.

He glanced at Edogawa Ranpo, and took the initiative to explain: "The Hound is an official organization in Yokohama... But since those who join it have to undergo physical transformation by supernatural technicians, they are not welcomed by superhumans."

There are always a small number of people who are willing to be transformed, and there are even fewer people who are strong and willing to be transformed. The Hound has always only absorbed powerful people, and it is an organization that targets supernatural criminals. normal thing.

"Yes, although there are still many problems with Hanako's supernatural ability, which even affects her human identity, but compared to letting her enter a hound and be transformed into a body, I still prefer to let her gradually change herself." Natsume Soseki Dao, his tone gradually became gentle and friendly.

"But when Hanako went out to play, she actually went to the special prison of the Supernatural Secret Service Division, and even found a backup breeder there." His tone was more kind and friendly, and he didn't even stop the soothing gesture of touching the cat's ears. .

The white-haired girl with unexpectedly sharp instincts looked up at him hesitantly, and then went to Edogawa Ranpo, and found that Ranpo was meditating on Natsume Soseki's words while opening her arms to her, and decisively gave up on Natsume Soseki, Bouncing and hanging on Detective Boy.

"Ah." Natsume Soseki smiled indifferently, and said without any surprise, "You're still so sharp, Hanako."

He patted the non-existing cat fur on his body, took out the pocket watch from his pocket, opened it, and began to say goodbye: "Since Mr. Fukuzawa is willing to adopt Hanako, let me handle the rest... including this The mastermind behind this farce."

The last sentence was said to Ranpo, and Ranpo immediately looked away.

"The man behind the scenes?" Fukuzawa Yukichi frowned, but he didn't ask any further questions. He followed Natsume Soseki and walked out, "Mr. Natsume, let me see you off."

"Sure enough, I was recognized." Natsume Soseki said, he stretched out his hand to open the door, and the door and a string of clothes hanging behind the door shook and slid towards Fukuzawa Yukichi like a stream of water.

After Fukuzawa Yukichi subconsciously stretched out his hand to block it and walked outside the door, the corridor outside the door was already empty.

A male three-colored cat passed by and looked up at him curiously.

Fukuzawa Yukichi and it looked at each other for a few seconds, and found that this cat didn't froze its hair when it was scared like other cats, jumped up and ran away from the place where Fukuzawa Yukichi could be seen, but showed contempt for cats eyes.

... At this moment, Fukuzawa Yukichi seemed to see the cat shape of the white-haired girl. The other party suspected that when he was staring at him solemnly but did not dare to touch him, it was the contemptuous look, the superior cat-like look.

Sanhuamao walked around the door, tentatively raising its foot towards Fukuzawa Yukichi.

Fukuzawa Yukichi: "..."

He quickly retreated into the house, and said to the two cats who started to rub against each other in the house, "Mr. Natsume has left."
