Not too many out of four

There are two famous detectives, Kudo, in the Kudo house in 21-chome [-], Mihua Town.

Although one of them is nominally a mystery novelist and does not engage in the detective industry, and the other is currently studying in high school and does not have his own detective agency.

But Yusaku Kudo and Shinichi Kudo are doing detective work every time there is a case.

Investigating the scene, reasoning about criminal methods, and helping the police find the real culprit, they have been doing this for half a month.

Nakahara Chuya flicked his tail to the other side, licking his mouth to clean up the leftovers of cat food. The orange cats beside him were still eating hard, making chewing and swallowing sounds, their tails dangling like cat teasers.

He turned his eyes and landed on Kudo Yusaku who was reading the newspaper at the dinner table. This man's acuity and ability to see subtleties are outstanding, and he may be comparable to the famous detective from the Armed Detective Agency in terms of reasoning ability.

In the same way, Yusaku Kudo is not as sharp-edged as Shin Kudo, who is proud of his reasoning ability. He seems to have restrained his exposed sharpness after the precipitation of time, but his inner sharpness has not diminished at all.

When Li Jia came over to touch his head, Zhong Yuan Zhong also jumped on her shoulder and called out in a low voice, "Meow."

"Did you finish eating so early today?" Li Jia whispered softly, raised her hand to protect him and stood up.

During this period of time, in order to observe Kudo Yusaku and the others, Nakahara Nakata always quickly finished eating cat food and jumped on Li Jia's shoulder.

He wanted to see if Yusaku Kudo could see through their identities up close.

Even if there are no supernatural powers in this world, there should be no drugs that can turn people into cats, so guess his true identity.

"Meow ouch." Zhong Yuanzhong also licked the back of his hand, raised his paw and rubbed his face as a way to wipe his face after eating.

He got used to the cat's body for a few months. At the beginning, no matter how uncomfortable he thought he would not do things, he gradually got used to life, and in fact, it was a moment of distraction to get over it.

The moment his thoughts cleared and drifted away, he grinned and yawned loudly, then naturally lowered his head and licked the cat's paws to wash his face.

When he came back to his senses, he realized that he had just done the same movements as a real cat.

Zhong Yuan was also in a trance, and in just three months he was almost completely assimilated into a cat.

Except for the difference in thinking, knowing his true origin and identity, everything else seems to be the same as the other three real cats in the family.

"Is Mr. Chuya sleepy?" Li Jia looked at him doubtfully and worriedly, and said, "Let's sleep if we're sleepy."

The gentle caress fell on his body, and Zhongyuan Zhong also naturally relaxed and softened his body to enjoy Li Jia's soft caress as soft as a cloud, and the moment he lost his mind, he made a snoring sound.

Li Jia's movements paused, and Zhong Yuan Zhong also woke up and restrained his snoring, curling up his hands and feet and nestling on her lap.

"Meow..." He wasn't sleepy, he was just thinking about something.

Zhong Yuanzhong also shook his ears, and Mao Mao turned his head to the back and called out seriously: "Meow?"

If Li Jia said, would you believe that there are ghosts and gods reincarnated in the world?

Li Jia looked down at him, and stared at him quietly for a while: "...Mr. Nakaya."

Zhong Yuanzhong also calmed down, waiting for Li Jia's answer.

"You can start brushing your teeth in three months." Li Jia frowned and smiled.

"..." Zhong Yuan was also silent.

He was stupid, how could Li Jia understand cat meowing.

It's all because he usually asks and answers with Li Jia, and it seems that they can understand each other's words, which makes him have an illusion.

"Mr. Chuya's teeth look very healthy." Rubbing the base of his ears and the side of his face with soft fingers, Li Jia held up his face and looked around, pushing his lips to reveal the white fangs inside: "In order to protect the healthy teeth from now on We brushed our teeth every week starting late."

The fingers that were originally rubbing and pushing to see the fangs naturally turned to massaging and rubbing the cat's head. Nakahara also subconsciously licked his own teeth. Did the cat start bathing and brushing its teeth at three months old?

"If the teeth are rotten, the doctor will pull out all the teeth." The little girl squeezed his cat's claws, lowered her tone and deliberately pretended to be terrified.

Zhong Yuanzhong didn't take it seriously, and let her pinch and press out her nails on the pad.

How can it be possible to pull out all the teeth if the teeth are rotten. Humans can fill teeth, and cats can also have dental implants.

"Eh? Do you want to pull out all the cat's teeth?" Kudo Yukiko held her chin and asked in surprise, "Is it enough if only one tooth is broken or just pull out one?"

"If it's just ordinary loose teeth and affected by dental calculus, you can just take tooth extraction," Kudo Yusaku shook the newspaper and explained patiently: "But cats over three years old are prone to dental calculus. If you don't pay attention to cleaning it, it will cause stomatitis. It will be difficult to cure, and the cat will also feel uncomfortable when eating. At this time, doctors usually recommend full tooth extraction.”

Anyway, cats don’t need to chew or bite too much to eat, they mainly rely on swallowing. Although full-mouth tooth extraction has some impact, it is better than letting the cat suffer from stomatitis.

Zhong Yuanzhong also opened his cat's eyes slightly, was what Li Jia just said was true?

He thought it was an exaggerated statement made by the little girl to educate the cat, but it turned out that she would really pull out all her teeth because of illness.

The tail flicked a few times anxiously, and Zhong Yuanzhong quickly calmed down: "Meow."

He is only three or four months old now, and he is far from the age when Kudo Yusaku said that his mouth is prone to calculus. Besides, Li Jia also said that he will help them brush their teeth from tonight. As long as they pay attention to stomatitis, things like this should be fine. will happen to him.

Zhongyuan Zhong also turned his head and glanced at the orange cats who squatted in front of the cat bowl after eating and taking care of themselves, raised their legs and kicked their heads and ears to stop, stretched their waists and froze, opened their mouths and yawned. stand still...

I don't know whether I really understood what they said or stopped following the cat beside me.

The little orange cat flicked its tail and leaned over to paw La Lijia's leg.

"What's the matter?" She asked softly, and bent down to hug the little orange cat: "Brother Zhongye also wants to participate in the topic of brushing teeth?"

"A kitten that brushes its teeth obediently can eat delicious freeze-dried beef." Li Jia coaxed slowly.

Zhong Yuanzhong also yelled helplessly: "...Meow."

Do not promise a freeze-dried treat just to get your cat to brush its teeth, as this will create a bad habit.

"It doesn't matter if you only eat a little bit." Li Jia laughed softly.

Zhongyuan Zhong also licked her wrist, got up and lightly jumped onto the back of Lijia's chair and squatted behind her.

Li Jia looked back, a little afraid to rely on it completely: "Speaking of which, Mr. Nakaya doesn't like being hugged by me very much recently?"

"Meow." He lifted his paw to press Li Jia's shoulder and pulled it back. She looked back and slowly leaned down, making sure that he didn't press his cat's paw before she was relieved.

Zhong Yuanzhong also patted Li Jia on the shoulder, and called out in a low voice, "Meow..."

It's not that he doesn't like being hugged recently, but he remembered that he shouldn't be hugged and walked around.

Although the cat's body is small, its movement speed is not slower than that of humans, and its stamina is almost the same as before. It can go anywhere freely.

Just staying on Lijia's shoulders will give you a wider view and see farther.

"Auntie Yukiko, is your plane this afternoon?" Li Jia looked up at the time. It took [-] hours to fly from Narita Airport to the United States.

Kudo Yukiko folded her hands, put her chin under her jaw and said with a smile: "At three o'clock this afternoon, will Li Jiajiang go back to the United States with me?"

"Aunt Youxizi..." Li Jia pursed her lips in embarrassment.

"Okay, okay," Kudo Yukiko rubbed her hair, and said generously, "If you want to stay in China, you can stay here, anyway, Xinchan can take care of you."

Zhong Yuanzhong also turned his ears, and looked at Li Jia thoughtfully.

He has never thought about it deeply, but to be honest, the current situation of the Kudou family is indeed quite special.

Kudo Yusaku and Kudo Yukiko lived abroad and traveled around all year round. The only son of the family stayed in Japan alone to study, and the niece who came over was also left in Tokyo.

He originally thought that it was the Kudou couple who wanted Li Jia and Kudou to stay in Japan, but now it seems that the fact may be the opposite. It was because they were unwilling to leave Japan that the brothers and sisters supported each other and stayed in Tokyo.

It can be said that Kudo is reluctant to part with his girlfriend in Tokyo, but Li Jia is obviously willing to leave Aichi Prefecture, why not follow the Kudo couple to live in the United States?

With them taking care of Li Jia, life should be easier.

……

In the afternoon when the Kudou and his wife were sent away, the Kudou house seemed much quieter and more spacious. It was indeed a little colder for this beautiful bungalow to only live with two young boys and girls.

Zhongyuan Zhong also stopped, stopped and looked up——

A group of orange fur quickly slid down the stair railing, and Li Jia chased after it and shouted anxiously: "Wait, wait, Mr. Zhongya..."

The little orange cat turned over and stood upright, landed firmly on the ground and shouted triumphantly: "Meow!"

Li Jia breathed a sigh of relief, and walked down slowly by leaning on the handrail of the stairs: "The handrail of the stairs is not a place for the kitten to slide down, what should I do if I fall down?"

The little cat didn't take her earnest lesson seriously, and the smallest orange cat in the family even raised her head proudly: "Meow meow!" as if saying that she would never get hurt.

Zhongyuan Zhong also looked away, shaking his ears as usual.

It's not so deserted, there are three cats at home that can play with Li Jia.

Although the house is a bit bigger, it wouldn't be deserted if there were enough lively and playful "children".

"Mr. Nakaya, are you looking for a suitable place to bask in the sun?" Li Jia picked up the kitten and bent down.

Zhongyuan Zhong also squatted and stomped his paws, raised his head and responded, "Meow."

It's true to say that, after four years of darkness in his predecessors, he quite liked the feeling of the sun shining through the windows.

The cat's body also likes to bask in the sun very much, and it will be very comfortable to warm the fur.

"I just saw that the sunlight coming in from the windows on the second floor is very good." Li Jia tilted her head and stretched out her hand to him, stretching her eyebrows and smiling, "Let's go to the sun together."

Nakahara Nakaya's tail swayed behind him, after hesitating for a while, he jumped into her palm and returned to his most familiar position: "...Meow."

It's not good to always reject Li Jia. He thought that the little girl would notice his hidden actions, but he endured it for half a month and didn't say anything. Maybe he felt that the cat would not understand what she meant.

Li Jia said that the location has good sunlight, which is warm and not glaring. The calmness and naturalness pass through the windows into grids and fall on the carpet, making the dark red carpet bright and warm.

The location and orientation of Kudo House are very good, the sun falls on the fur, and fine dust appears on the fur, passing through the light, it looks like light flying spots, Nakahara Nakaya's tail falls on his side, leaning against Li Jia's leg, feeling dizzy sleep.

The head is tilted and the body is facing the light, just like the photosynthesis of plants, absorbing the sunlight and sleeping in exchange for spirit and energy.

He closed his eyes and shook his ears from time to time.

A little movement came in through the ears, and was let go by the sleepy and drowsy brain without hesitation.

The kitten, which was sun-baked and fluffy, snored slightly while sleeping. Li Jia lightly held the kitten’s raised two front paws and combed it. The abdomen and body tend to get knotted, and she seldom shows it for her to comb. The place.

The comb teeth combed the soft and fluffy hair under the pure white abdomen, and Li Jia put his hands together to knead the combed cat hair into balls, then turned over the sleeping kitten and combed.

The most relaxed and natural postures in sleep are open to her. The kitten makes a small sound in dreaming and twitches its limbs a few times. Zhongyuan can also hear Li Jia chuckling and rubbing their hair.

Zhong Yuanzhong also fell into a drowsy state of consciousness, but it was not a deep sleep state of complete unconsciousness.

He could feel some things around him and he could hear the sound of Li Jia grooming them, in a relaxed and comfortable state half asleep and half awake.

After combing the kitten, Li Jia carefully put it aside and stroked the cat's head.

When he was picked up again, Zhong Yuanzhong didn't have the urge to struggle to get up at all, he just moved his tail lazily, indicating that he was not completely asleep.

"Have a good rest, don't forget to be vigilant Mr. Knight when you sleep." Li Jia smiled very softly.

The feeling of fingers and comb teeth falling down made Nakahara Zhongya relax, his body rose and fell with his breathing, and the tip of his tail moved slightly and then retracted.

He is no knight...

Just staying in this home regards Li Jia as his responsibility, an existence that needs to be guarded.

The bungalow they live in is named Kudo. Li Jia is related to the Kudo family but not the closest one. She may stay here or leave the Kudo house in the future.

But as long as he is still by Li Jia's side, he will always protect her.

Whether in cat form or human form.

Zhong Yuanzhong, who was slowly falling asleep, didn't notice that under the sunlight, his hair was covered with a light red light, which was not conspicuous. Even Li Jia didn't care much, just thought it was a special shimmer under the sunlight. .

She lightly took a photo, and decided to quietly draw this photo she likes very much.

If there is a chance, I will add the other two Zhongye cats and my elder brother as gifts for my birthday in late June.

Nakahara Chuya, who was asleep, was woken up by the sound of taking pictures and flashing lights from the phone. He raised his head and tail and pulled it back to his side: "Meow?"

Li Jia was embarrassed to explain: "Sorry, did I wake you up?"

Zhong Yuanzhong also yawned and didn't pay much attention.

Just a sneaky photo of a cat, not a photo of a port mafia boss, nothing to worry about.

He stretched on his side, raised the tip of his tail, and looked at Li Jia with half-closed cat eyes: "Meow..."

The soft light fell on the girl's beautiful and gentle face. She tilted her head and looked at them with a gentle smile. The black hair on her temples was like the soft ears of a small animal.

Li Jia's hair seems to be difficult to grow. Since the first time we met, she has had slightly longer sideburns on both sides of the ear, and the rest of the hair is short, fluffy and soft, and looks good to the touch.

It's a pity that his cat's claws can't feel the feeling of touching Lijia's hair.

Zhongyuan Zhong also slid down from Lijia's lap like running water, Maomao's head hit the ground with a bang, he turned his head and looked at the hair behind Lijia's ears, it seemed to be about the same length as when he was 15 years old.

But he cut it so short at that time because he didn't have time or thought to take care of it.

"Meow." When Li Jia held him up and rubbed the back of his head worriedly, Zhong Yuanzhong also raised his tail and landed it in her palm, wriggling and patting like a cat.

"Is Mr. Nakaya's tail going to play a game with me?" She simply became happy.

"Meow ouch." Zhong Yuanzhong also answered vaguely, and he can understand it in any way.

The soft lying cat body and the lively tail patted in Li Jia's palm seemed to be split into two parts. Nakahara also turned his head to avoid the light that fell on his eyes, and his tail flicked half-circled in Li Jia's palm freely and impatiently. Hold her wrist.

The fluffy soft tail is half wrapped around her wrist, and it can be released with a slight pull.

Li Jia's hand fell to Zhongye's side, and his tail was wrapped around it.
