[Comprehensive] Notes on Cat Raising by Benmaru

"It's really a heavy snow, is it because someone is arbitrarily controlling the compass of the seasons again?" Yaoken smiled wryly and looked at the thick snow in front of him. Judging from his words, this sudden change of seasons in this maru, It has happened more than once.

Yaken squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, and then stuck out his head after seeing a tree in the distance.

Cautiously sticking out his head, Wu Hutui showed a happy smile after seeing the person coming, "Yao... Brother Yaoyan... you are back." He ran over on the snow, the tip of his nose was a little red from the cold.

"Retire?" Yao Yan touched his younger brother's hair with some distress.

Sankaiyue bent down, intending to put down Chihiro, who was extremely restless in his arms, who knew that Chihiro, who didn't want to step on the snow at all, crawled along Fu Sangshen's arm to his shoulder with indescribable agility. superior.

Wuhu looked up at Qianxun, blinked, and said in a joyful voice, "Great... great, Xiaoqian is back."

"Meow~" Chihiro, who already had a good impression of Five Tigers, responded to him with a very soft voice.

Probably because her body was too far forward, when Wu Hutui was talking to her, her foot slipped and almost fell off Sanriyue's body.Startled, Chihiro quickly grabbed the clothes on Fu Sangshen's shoulders tightly with her fluffy paws, and made shallow wrinkles on the opponent's dark blue hunting clothes.

Because she still felt a little cold, Chihiro, who was already very afraid of the cold, couldn't help but move towards Fu Sangshen's neck, and the fluffy down was tightly pressed against the crescent moon.

But Tsurumaru, who kept shouting about being cold, didn’t get such a good treatment. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Catao Toshiro, who seemed not at all afraid of the cold, happily playing in the snow in the distance, and kept talking. It was scary.

Wuhutui noticed his movement, he blinked, and explained in a low voice, "Today, people from the government came to adjust the spiritual pressure inside the pill, and after the adjustment, it became like this. Mr. Gexian was very angry, saying that this kind of disregard for the change of seasons It is not elegant at all to change the climate arbitrarily.”

"It really looks like something he would say." Tsurumaru smiled wryly, "How long will it take to change back."

Five Tigers retreated silently for a while, before hesitatingly said, "Actually, they could be transferred back then, but..."

Just halfway through his words, Yan Rong and Taro Tachi, who were carrying the kotatsu together, came out from the depths of the corridor.Imai, who was following behind, saw the returning troops, and raised his hands enthusiastically, "You guys are back~ Candlestick Kiri said that today you can curl up in the kotatsu and eat hot pot~"

"..."

"Could it be for this?" Xiwan asked hesitantly, and then he saw Wuhutui nodded cautiously.

"Yes... yes, because everyone said they wanted to sit in the kotatsu and eat hot pot, so the winter scenery was temporarily maintained."

"Really, what's the point of this..." Kagemaru muttered in a low voice.

But what Ling Xiwan didn't expect was that during the time when he was talking with Wu Hutui, a line of sight was firmly stuck to his body, and then, a white shadow flashed in his peripheral vision.

Before he could react in time, he was suddenly attacked by a snowball on his face.The moment the cold snowball hit his face, it shattered into small crystal snow cubes and slid down from Fu Sangshen's face.

Keimaru kept silent and patted off the remaining snow on his face with his hands, and then he saw Cattail Toshiro who threw the snowball smiling at him, "Don't be so rigid, it's a rare snowy day, let's have a good time Isn't it good!"

"You..." Knee Maru frowned, bent down, picked up a handful of snow, squeezed it into a snowball, and threw it towards the cattail without hesitation.

"Whoa—dangerous—"

Cattail sideways dodged the snowball attacking him, then looked at the aggressive Kewanu chasing him, laughed, and ran away.

"Ah! I want to play too!" Imaiken, who witnessed the whole process, immediately ran over from the corridor.

Tsurumaru, who had been shouting coldly, blinked, as if he had found a new pleasure, he bent down and pinched a snowball, imitating the cattail before, and threw it towards the running knee pill, and then it turned out to be a miracle hit.

With one hand on his waist, he tilted his head to look at the black-faced Kagemaru who turned around, and burst out laughing.But soon, the snowball thrown from the side accurately hit the gloating Tsurumaru's face.

"It hit it!" Taiko Zhong Zhenzong stared at his hand in surprise.

Chihiro, who was lying on Sankaiyue's shoulder, was just like Sankaiyue at first, watching the excitement with a relaxed expression, but later, as more and more Fusangshen joined in, the scene in front of her became more and more chaotic.Chihiro, who was afraid of being affected, turned her head and rubbed Sanriyue's face, urging him to leave this place of right and wrong with a weak meow.

Sanriyue turned her head and gave her a quiet look, then followed her intentions, walked unhurriedly, crossed the long snow-covered bridge and walked to the room where the kotatsu was placed.

This room is the largest room in Honmaru, and it has been vacant before.This time, it was probably specially sorted out for eating hot pot, and a TV was thoughtfully placed in front of it.

Yan Rong and Taro Tachi, who had put the last kotatsu, had already got into the kotatsu. Seeing Mikayue come in, Yanrong smiled, "Sankayuedian, do you want to come and take a rest?"

Sanriyue agreed to the other party's invitation with kindness, and sat down quietly.

"In winter, you really have to hide in the kotatsu to stay warm," Yan Rong sighed.

Chihiro, who was staying on the shoulder of Mikazuki, tilted her head to look at the kotatsu, which was very warm just by looking at it, then lightly jumped forward onto the table, and lay down calmly.

Yan Rong glanced at Qian Xun, and then showed a surprised expression, "I didn't notice it before, but it looks like Xiao Qian is really small. I feel like I will step on it if I'm not careful."

No, no, I'm not that young!Obviously you are too tall!

Yanrong, who needs her to look up even if she becomes a human, is too high for Chihiro.However, Taro Tachi, who had completely different ideas from Chihiro, said in a tone of approval, "It's a cat after all."

To him, cats are small and fragile things.Although it was invisible on the surface, Taro Tachi, who actually liked small animals very much, stretched out his hand, looking like he wanted to touch Chihiro, but he was worried that his nails were too long to scratch her, so he took it back in silence.

Chihiro glanced at him a few times, and couldn't help becoming a little interested in this dignified Yushen Dao.But she just flicked her tail quietly and looked outside.

It was only for such a short while, and it had already started snowing outside again.The falling powder snow fell into the lake profusely, and the cherry blossom trees erected by the lake, because of the sudden drop in temperature, the delicate petals fell down within a day.

The snow on the branches looks very heavy, and if you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of the branches being crushed.

Smiling Qingjiang walked in from the outside stepping on the accumulated snow. His white clothes were covered with large flakes of snow. He was standing at the door at the moment, patting the snow on his body, and sighed, "I found it snowed after I came back from the expedition. , really startled me."

Sanriyue turned her head and nodded to him, "It's Your Excellency, the expedition has been hard."

Smiling Qing Jiang walked in, his golden eyes not covered by his hair were as soft as candlelight in the middle of the night.

"It's very lively outside." He said with a smile, "It's really energetic."

"After all, even in winter, it rarely snows in Honmaru." Sankayue answered the other party calmly.

Probably because the white clothes were already wet with the snow, Qing Jiang took off the white clothes with a smile, and got into the kotatsu very consciously.

Yan Rong conveniently took an orange from the tray on the table and handed it to Qing Jiang. The other party just picked up half of it, then suddenly stopped, raised his hand and muttered, "Hands are so cold."

As he said this, his eyes stayed on Chihiro's body.

Ok?

Chihiro was eating an orange peeled by Sankayue with her head tilted, but when she noticed the other party's gaze, she turned her head in a daze.After looking at each other for a short while, Qingjiang with a smiling face stretched out his hand and hugged her.

Huh?etc?Surprised by Fu Sangshen's sudden move, Chihiro struggled a bit, and then was embraced by the smiling Qingjiang. There was still a faint scent of citrus in his hands, but his fingertips were as cold as snow.

He gently wiped off the orange juice that Qianxun had stuck to his face, and then placed his reddened fingers on her stomach.

"Meow?" It's so cold!

Chihiro, who was about to explode, couldn't help but looked up at the other party, and just met Qing Jiang's gentle gaze on the smiling face.

"It's so warm." He sighed.

Chihiro, who was regarded as a cat-shaped heater, hesitated for a few seconds whether to continue to be a high-quality natural heater that saves electricity, but soon she focused on Mikami Tsukimune, who was also on the opposite side and put his hands in the kotatsu .

If your hands are cold, how about the smiling old man opposite Xuexue?

Chihiro let out a cry of dissatisfaction, then ruthlessly broke free from the grip of Smiling Qingjiang, and quickly got into the kotatsu.

The warm kotatsu and the icy and snowy outside are like two worlds. Chihiro stretched comfortably in the kotatsu, and then started her 'adventure' in this small space.

Taro Tachi was originally listening to the other three people talking quietly, but suddenly he felt something climbed up on his knees.He lowered his head slightly, and then saw that a corner of the quilt covering him was lifted, and then a furry head protruded from it.

The white cat lying on his back looked at him with wide eyes, its pink ears trembled slightly, and it meowed softly at Taro.

Taro Tachi couldn't help but grabbed Chihiro's front paws in the kotatsu, and then lightly pressed the opponent's pads.When he was doing this, his expression was still very serious and serious, and it was completely impossible to see that he was holding on to Qianxun's flesh pad at the moment.

Because Chihiro, who was pressed by someone, opened her claws involuntarily, and lightly grabbed Taro Tachi's palm a few times very weakly.

"Brother!" Jiro Tachi's voice came from outside the door, and Taro immediately let go of his hand as if startled.

But in the eyes of the other three, Taro Tachi just turned sideways with a calm face, and nodded slightly towards his younger brother.

"What, you're here. I've been looking for you for a long time." The drunken Jiro Tachi walked in. Although he smelled of alcohol, his eyes were sharp, and he saw his brother lying on the bed at a glance. White cat on lap.

"Hey!" He squatted down, smiled and raised the wine bottle in his hand, "Would you like to drink with me~Little cat~"
