[Comprehensive] Notes on Cat Raising by Benmaru

Chihiro poked her head out from the corner of the house, and after making sure that there was no one around, she walked out cautiously.

It's terrible, why did she think that a petite body might be a good thing before?

Have people in this era never seen a cat?Why do you have to surround her when you see her!

She sighed, and walked towards the fabric store in a sneaky way, but the next second, she felt someone approaching behind her.

Chihiro, who hadn't noticed the footsteps at all, was taken aback, she turned her head abruptly, and then froze.

How does it feel to meet a long-lost friend?

The big onmyoji with the corners of his mouth slightly raised was wearing the moon-white safari suit she was very familiar with. The bat fan in his hand opened and reconciled, reconciled and reunited, and his eyes as deep as the sky were quietly watching her at this moment.

The moonlight shone on his body, coating him with an extra soft light and shadow.

However, facing this kind of girlish reunion, Chihiro just wanted to wave her paw.

explain!I will become smaller is it you!

"Oh." Abe Seimei raised his eyebrows slightly, "This is really a coincidence."

Yuan Boya, who was standing behind him, squatted down and looked at the little milk cat with a puzzled face, "Where did this cat come from? Did it get lost?"

"Pfft..." Abe Seimei covered his lips with a butterfly fan, and smiled softly, "Boya, this is no ordinary cat."

After finishing speaking, he bent down, grabbed the little milk cat, and calmly avoided the other's waving claws.

"Chihiro..." He sighed pretentiously, "You seem to have become a lot irritable after not seeing you for such a long time."

"Hehe." Chihiro sneered, "I sealed my memory without my consent at all, do you think I will rush forward to tell you my heart with a moved face?"

"The cat... the cat talked?!" Yuan Boya, who was completely out of the situation, opened his eyes wide, "Is it... a monster?!"

"Who is a monster!" Chihiro rolled her eyes silently in her heart, "I haven't seen you for so many years, you still haven't improved at all, Boya."

This familiar, ironic and sighing tone obviously evoked Yuan Boya's memory. He took a step back and looked at Chihiro with an unbelievable look. "Chihiro? You...how did you change?" Become a cat?"

Chihiro gave him a smile, but because she was still a kitten, the smile looked a little strange.

Abe Seimei raised her hand and pinched her bulging belly, and received a sharp blow from the little milk cat in the next second.

Unhurriedly grabbing Chihiro's waving short legs, Abe Seimei blinked, "Let's talk about the details when we get back."

So, after a long time, Chihiro, who was struggling hard, was brought back to the seemingly abandoned courtyard again.

Although she was not touched at all.

Abe Seimei placed Chihiro on the low table in the room, and he sat down calmly.He said as if sighing, "I didn't expect that the technique would be lifted one day."

"I don't believe you didn't expect that there will be a day when it will be lifted. Compared with that, why on earth did I become a milk cat?"

"Huh?" Abe Seimei blinked innocently, "Isn't the kitten very nice?"

"No, I want to change back!" Chihiro's reaction was very cold.

"I told you before that no matter what kind of technique, it will loosen after a long time of practice."

"Wait a minute first." Chihiro raised her soft fleshy pad and made a gesture like a pause. "Although it hasn't started yet, please try to keep it as simple as possible."

Although it has been a long time, every time Qingming speaks, she always feels that the other party will say something very simple.

Chihiro felt that she was about to suffer from Abe Seimei phobia.

Abe Seimei glanced at her indifferently, but for some reason, he swallowed half of what he had said, and asked instead, "Chihiro, do you want to eat the grilled sweetfish?"

"Xiao Qian, are you fat?"

San Riyue's words resounded in her mind, Chihiro tilted her head, looking a little hesitant.In the past, she would have agreed without hesitation, but now...

She lowered her head, looked at her round belly, and poked it lightly with her paw.

"Eat?" Abe Seimei looked at her leisurely.

"Eat..." Chihiro, who was shamefully defeated by the temptation of food, had a normal expression, but her ears drooped involuntarily.

Although he knew that the cat in front of him was actually a person, Minamoto couldn't bear it for a moment. After he hesitated for a long time, he lowered his voice and said to Abe Seimei, "Seimei, just tell her."

Abe Seimei smiled. After Shikigami served the grilled sweetfish, he held the wide sleeve of the hunting clothes with one hand, and picked up the chopsticks with the other hand to hold the sweetfish to Chihiro's mouth. When biting, remove the chopsticks calmly.

Chihiro showed a very complicated expression. Is this kind of casual behavior of teasing cats the prevailing trend in your Heian period?

Probably because it was too familiar, Chihiro was not as soft and cute as she was when she faced Mikazuki Zongjin, but rather domineeringly pressed her chopsticks on the table, and snatched Ayu away with a cold face.

Abe Seimei took back the chopsticks calmly, and then continued the previous topic, "Simply put, the magic technique I applied to you before to make you a cat is loose. If you want to change back, you can change it again. Just one operation is enough."

He paused, then blinked slyly, "Are you really going back?"

His attitude made Chihiro have a bad premonition, she said that of course she would change back, while staring at him vigilantly with blue eyes.

"Say it first, don't do unnecessary things."

Abe Seimei smiled, but did not speak.

This attitude was what Chihiro was most afraid of, her eyes widened, and the white fluff seemed to explode in the next second.

After successfully scaring the kitten, Abe Seimei raised his hand and touched Chihiro's soft fur, although he was bitten the next second.

Abe Seimei had no intention of withdrawing her hand at all, instead she directly rubbed her furry face with the palm of her hand, and before Chihiro broke out, she said lightly, "Just in case, just in case, I will hand over this technique to you Hello."

"Eh?" Chihiro let go, her biting force was not heavy at all, not even leaving the slightest trace.

"Anyway, you'd better turn back into a human first." Abe Seimei glanced at her, turned around and called out to the courtyard, "Honey bugs."

Immediately afterwards, the wisteria branches not far away shook slightly, and then a pretty woman suddenly appeared in the courtyard.She nodded slightly, her eyes full of smiles.

That is Abe Seimei's shikigami.

"Go and help her find her clothes."

Hearing Abe Seimei's order, Mi Chong nodded obediently, then took a few steps forward, picked up Chihiro very naturally, and walked towards the inner room.

The little milk cat that was suddenly picked up poked its head out of Mi Chong's arms in a daze. After thinking carefully for a while, she finally found that no matter who it was, it seemed that it was very easy to hug her.

Feeling that the cat's life is very bleak, Chihiro nestled in Mi Chong's arms and sighed deeply.

Honey Bug withdrew from the room after helping her find the clothes. Chihiro, who had turned back into a human, put on the clothes, and suddenly felt an extremely absurd feeling. In order to wait for her to come back, it was specially prepared for her.

If you think about it, it's not impossible.

She knew everything in her heart, the omnipotent onmyoji might have already guessed when she would come back.

She tightened her waist silently, then turned sideways to the mirror, and muttered in a low voice, "I can't be really fat, why do I feel that my waist is a little tight."

She tilted her head in front of the mirror, feeling a faint sense of strangeness in herself in the mirror.

Probably because it took too long to become a cat, and suddenly it turned back into a human, and I felt a little unaccustomed to it.She shook the thought out of her mind with a look of horror, then pulled her long scarf-colored hakama and walked out.

"It's really Qianxun! It feels like you've grown up a lot." Seeing Qianxun walking out, Yuan Boya sighed.

Of course, for Yuan Boya, maybe only a few years have passed since the separation from Qianxun, but for Qianxun, it has been too long.

But she didn't have the slightest feeling of sadness, instead she blinked her eyes and said mysteriously, "It's also possible that I was originally a cat, but I just became what you said Chihiro!"

Yuan Boya has always been the best at deceiving, just like now, Chihiro's pretending to be mysterious made him seriously think about whether the woman in front of him is the Chihiro he knew.

His appearance was so cute, Chihiro couldn't hold back for a moment, and burst out laughing.

"You're joking with me again!" Yuan Boya finally understood and shook his head helplessly, "This point really hasn't changed at all."

Chihiro didn't speak, and sat down next to him with a smile. Abe Seimei looked up at her, then paused slightly with the hand holding the wine bowl, "What's wrong with your eyes?"

"Huh?" Chihiro blinked, then lifted the hair covering her right eye, "You mean this? Hmm... proof of friendship?"

The pair of eyes that were originally as blue as the deep sea and smiled as if embracing the starry sky, now one of them has turned into a somewhat dull golden color.

"There was a little accident before, and I happened to meet a friend I hadn't seen for a long time. He gave me something that can stabilize the spirit body. Then this eye became like this. I thought it was very beautiful, but my brother seemed Not like."

Abe Seimei didn't speak, he picked up the bat fan beside him and put it on the table, bypassing the topic about the eyes, "Then next, I will hand over the technique I mentioned earlier to you."

Teach me so simple?Chihiro felt a little surprised. Based on her understanding of Abe Seimei, this person should try to whet her appetite, and then teach her the spell when she was about to get angry.

Abe Seimei seemed to see Chihiro's surprise, he smiled slightly, and then pushed the written spell in front of her.

For Abe Seimei, it was not a very difficult spell to control, but Chihiro, who had never been exposed to the spell, was much more laborious to learn.

After she finally mastered the technique, it was already very late. She was startled first, and then thought that the Fusangshen would not come back so early, so she said in a soft voice, "It's already so late, I have to gone back."

"Oh." Abe Seimei didn't look surprised, he turned around, looked in the direction of the gate and said lightly, "Then, I'll send you a bullock cart."

He clapped his hands, and then, an ox cart pulled by Shikigami slowly drove in from outside the gate.

Chihiro blinked, then picked up the lady's hat on the table and walked towards the bullock cart.Before getting into the car, she suddenly turned her head and asked, "Qingming, you blocked my memory and sent me back to the original world forcibly, was it because you sensed that my spiritual body was unstable?"

"No." Unexpectedly, Abe Seimei quickly answered, "It's because Chihiro is too noisy."

"..."

Good bye!

Chihiro boarded the car angrily, and then knocked on the wooden partition of the car.Accompanied by the sound of the bell hanging in front of the car, the bullock cart moved forward slowly.

There is still a distance from Tsuchiyamen to the hostel where she lives, because she was a little bored, Chihiro opened the window casually, and saw Fu Sangshen in blue at a glance, walking towards the ox cart.She subconsciously wanted to close the window, but to her surprise, San Riyue also raised her head at the same time.His always soft brows and eyes were somewhat alienated for some reason.

When he saw the ox cart approaching, he lowered his head slightly, as if he was thinking about something.After a while, he walked over slowly, "Excuse me, Ji Jun. Have you seen a cat nearby?"

This sudden question is actually very strange.Sankaiyue, who has always been very calm, seemed to feel anxious and worried about Chihiro's disappearance for a moment, but she just covered it up very well.

But Chihiro didn't notice.

The moment she talked to herself in Sanriyue, her heartbeat accelerated suddenly.

What about the promised night patrol in Heianjing?Why did you come back so early?In this case, the fact that she ran out secretly was completely exposed!

Although it is most appropriate to say that she has never seen it before and leave, but for some reason, she subconsciously asked, "What kind of cat is it?"

San Riyue thought for a while, then took out a piece of paper from her sleeve, unfolded it and handed it to her, "It's probably such a cat."

Chihiro lifted the silk of the hat slightly, narrowed her golden eyes slightly, and carefully looked at the painting in front of her by the moonlight, then she fell silent.

Is this painting me?Is this how I feel in your heart? !

How does this thing that looks like two circles spliced ​​together at random look like me?

She endured it, but she still couldn't, and asked in a hesitant voice, "Is this a cat?!"

"En?" San Riyue turned over the painting and looked at it, and she seemed to be taken aback for a moment, "Hahahaha, I took it wrong."

He calmly folded the work of the soul, and took out another piece of paper from his body.

No, wait, tell me who drew this first? !

But Sankaiyue obviously didn't hear Chihiro's inner cry, but just unfolded another painting smoothly, and placed it in front of Chihiro.

Different from the first one, this painting is completely like a printed one. The cat in the painting is cute and well-behaved. In short, this is a painting that makes Chihiro very satisfied.

That's right!Chihiro breathed a sigh of relief, then she blinked happily and said, "What a cute cat! Such a beautiful cat, if I see it, I will definitely remember it."

After praising himself without any psychological barriers, Qianxun also praised Fu Sangshen in a strange way, "You are also a very good-looking adult."

"..." Sanriyue just smiled gently and distantly, without answering.

Chihiro put down the silk, thought for a while and said, "But please don't worry, I once heard that cats will find their way home by themselves, maybe when you go back, you will find that the cat has already gone back."

"Indeed, there is such a possibility." As if she had already guessed that the other party might not have seen the lost kitten, San Riyue was not particularly depressed, but quietly took back the painting, and thanked Chihiro with a slight nod.

Sifengyuan·I always want to do something·Full of self-confidence·Before Mikayue turned around, Chihiro couldn't help but ask one more question, "It's worth you to come out late at night to look for it, this cat must be very important to you, right?!"

The white gauze covered her shining eyes, but Fu Sangshen did not immediately give the answer Chihiro wanted. He pondered for a while before smiling and saying, "If you lose it, it will be very troublesome."

Very good, Sanriyue Zongjin, I will never talk to you again.

Chihiro, who watched Sankayue go away with a stiff smile, silently made an oath in her heart.She tapped lightly on the carriage in dissatisfaction, causing the stopped bullock cart to move forward.

If everyone has already returned to the hotel, it is safer to park the ox cart a little farther away.She thought about it, and felt that she was very close to the hotel now, so she simply turned into a cat.

Sure enough, as Abe Seimei said, after reapplying the surgery, she changed back to her original appearance.But before she could breathe a sigh of relief, she found that she was completely buried in the clothes.

Clothes from the Heian-kyo period look very gorgeous, but they are too heavy, especially now that there is an Ichime hat on top.

Chihiro felt that she was about to be smothered to death, she stretched out her claws, trying to push aside the clothes in front of her.However, just as she was struggling to climb out, the bullock cart shook violently as if it was suddenly caught in a hurricane.

In an instant, the ears were filled with noisy noises and chaotic laughter, and the surrounding air seemed to become colder.

"Ah, there are bullock carts here..."

"It smells so good..."

Immediately afterwards, there was a small exclamation from the shikigami in front of him.Then, the bullock cart that was still struggling to move forward stopped completely.For some reason, the words Hyakki Yaxing appeared in Chihiro's mind.

Hyakki nocturnal walk, this is a scene that Abe Seimei would find a little tricky if he encounters it. If he really encounters it, it will be troublesome. In order to prove his guess, Chihiro accelerated the speed of crawling out of the clothes, but at this time, Slender slings wrapped around her hind paws.

"Next, the ones in the bullock cart..."

"Wait for Yuanxing Temple..." A thin female voice rang out, "It's rare to meet a human being who is considered high-grade just by smelling it. Why don't you just dedicate it to Lord Shuten."

The chaotic noise grew louder, Chihiro gritted her teeth, and decided to simply turn back into a human again.However, when she made a decision, the ox cart suddenly tilted to one side, and Chihiro, who was wrapped in clothes, slid to the side along the tilted body.

"Strange, why is there no sound..."

Before the bullock cart floated in the air, Chihiro heard the whispers of the monster in doubt. Compared with the humans who were involved in the night walk of the ghosts before, this bullock cart was really too quiet.However, the doubts were only short-lived. After confiding their words, the monsters once again rushed into the carnival that belonged to the night.

However, Qianxun's bullock cart was shaking violently while moving forward at an unimaginable speed.Then, after Chihiro finally crawled out of the pile of clothes, the ox cart stopped.

"Yo~Ibaraki~Look what I brought back for Lord Jiuten!" The female voice just now sounded again, and then Chihiro heard someone's footsteps getting closer.

The door of the bullock cart was suddenly pushed open, Chihiro narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked at Ibaraki Doji who was in front of her in shock.

"Skeleton girl..." Ibaraki looked at the graceful and well-furred white cat squatting on the gorgeous Tang clothes and said hesitantly, "Did you bring back a... cat for Lord Shuten?"
