Unusual Fate Records

Chapter 31.005. Old Acquaintances and New Encounters

"Meow."

The orange cat's voice was soft and sweet, and it gently rubbed its head against my hand.

"Long time no see, kid."

Jin Ziyue half-squatted on the ground, touching the top of the boot. The latter's ears drooped, and he squinted, looking quite pleased.

Her eyes were gentle as water.

Boots, Jin Ziyue, both names contain the character for leather, "Ge," and the character "Zi," suggesting that raising a girl is like caring for a child.

"You've traveled across the ocean, thank you for your hard work."

He reached out and stroked the cat's back; its fur was soft and warm to the touch.

"I need to choose a name for my name, which might make me feel a little uncomfortable."

Jin Ziyue said gently.

The boot licked its lips, lay down on the spot, and wagged its tail.

A strange warmth flowed from my palm onto the orange cat.

There are eight streams of energy flowing within the orange cat.

Legend has it that cats have nine lives.

It's not that cats have nine lives, but rather that after being domesticated, they can store nine life-related words.

The number of stored command words can be used to determine what level of spiritual cat a cat has become.

At this moment, most of the life essences nurtured inside the boot were weak little life essences, swimming around inside the boot, and were grabbed by Jin Ziyue.

The man frowned slightly; it seemed that Yan Wuxun had also included some obscene and offensive phrases.

These pronouncements do not apply to the orange cat, but are stored quietly within a container, like blood flowing aimlessly within the body. They do not have any effect, do not affect the host, and do not reveal their presence. The cat's age increases gradually, day by day.

Low-level destiny words are not conducive to the boots awakening their intelligence. If possible, it is necessary to secretly gather auspicious destiny words with longer lifespans for the boots to store, which will also help the creature storing the destiny words to prolong its lifespan.

The word of destiny and fate are inherently twins.

Jin Ziyue raised his other hand and placed it against his chest. An invisible ball of energy was slowly placed into the orange cat's body.

The roadside trees swayed, letting in a few rays of sunlight.

Jin Ziyue reached out, sniffed the boots, and stuck out his tongue.

He said softly, "I don't have much to offer you. I'll make it up to you with some canned fish next time. Go back now and don't keep them waiting too long."

"Meow~"

With a soft call from the boots, it turned its head, its steps light and agile, and darted into the bushes, following the scent of the two people.

Jin Ziyue watched the orange cat disappear before turning his gaze away, taking out his baseball cap, putting it on, pulling the brim down, and turning to leave.

……

"Little sister? Where are you taking me?"

Douzi was somewhat apprehensive.

Although a little girl was leading the way, I had never lived in a residential complex like this before. It had a pond, flower beds, and everything else looked very high-end.

My and Brother Xun's hideout was just a single-story house with simple facilities and a lot of furniture that was made on the spot. Compared to that, I couldn't help but feel a little conflicted.

The little girl was very skilled at it, and although she was a head shorter than Douzi, she was still full of energy.

"Don't you really know how to speak Japanese?"

The girl's voice was somewhat disdainful.

Douzi scratched his head and said, "I know a little bit."

"Really."

Megumi Amamiya pouted.

"Um, what's your name?" Douzi rarely uttered a sentence.

The little girl blinked: "Amamiya Megumi, you can call me Megumi."

"Oh, it's Megumi-chan!"

Douzi nodded, indicating that she understood, and then added:

"My name is Kou Dou, you can call me Douzi."

"She looks clumsy and is a real handful," the little girl said in a precocious manner.

"Uh... Xiaohui, what did you say?"

Douzi felt that the words around her didn't sound quite clear.

Megumi Amamiya rolled her eyes, too lazy to bother with it.

"We're here." The little girl took out her keys from her pocket and introduced, "Ta-da! This is my house."

"excuse me."

Douzi was filled with trepidation, peeking out to see if anyone was inside.

He still needs to learn some basic etiquette and culture, after all, he had been scolded a lot before.

After putting her shoes down in the entryway, Douzi walked into the house.

Suddenly, my eyes saw stars.

It should be a well-off family home, with soft sofas, coffee tables, murals, and a television. The house is fully furnished, and trophies and medals are displayed in the showcase.

"Don't touch it, it'll be bad if my dad finds out."

Megumi Amamiya stared at the bean's expression and muttered:

"I'm so bored staying at home alone. Look, you're not a bad guy, so I'll bring you to my house to keep me company."

The little girl seemed to be comforting herself, thinking that it wasn't really bringing a stranger home, was it?

"what?"

Douzi felt it was a bit abrupt, but still sat down properly in the living room.

"Hey buddy, wait a minute, I'm looking for something for you."

"what."

Douzi scratched his head, seemingly unable to understand, and it seemed that no matter what reaction he made, it had no effect.

"But it looks really cool!" he exclaimed excitedly.

"Hehe." The little girl's eyes crinkled as she looked at Douzi's energetic appearance, and she herself felt playful.

"Here, take this yellow stone."

"What is this?" Douzi took the pigeon-egg-sized stone, which had a warm and smooth texture and was not jade, and asked curiously.

“This is a magical gem.” Megumi Amamiya extended a delicate pink finger, her eyes half-closed, her expression smug.

"Huh? Why do I feel like I... understood what you said?" Bean exclaimed in surprise.

Megumi Amamiya enjoyed the expression on Tsubaki's face and couldn't help but laugh, "This is a treasure that Mom left for Megumi! As long as you hold this, you can feel the other person's thoughts when you are of one mind."

"Our hearts... are connected?" Douzi asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I heard it from my dad. I don't really understand it, but isn't it easy to be kind to others and understand their feelings?" The little girl winked proudly.

……

"Dad, I'm home." Yingzi stood on tiptoe to reach the doorbell and struggled to open the doorknob with her short hands.

"Going out with Xiaohui again?" The man sat on the sofa with his head drooping, not uttering a single word except for his greeting.

"Ah."

Yingzi's voice was always slow and deliberate, with a childlike sluggishness, drawing out each syllable for a long time.

Is Uncle Ichiro home?

The man's eyes were lowered.

"I don't know." Yingzi took a breath and said, her round face flushed. "Xiao Hui asked me to go out and play."

The man patted her head and said, "I understand."

"Dad, Xiaohui just ate a fried egg, and it looked delicious."

"Fried eggs? I'll make them for you when Dad gets back. Lunch will have to do for now; the porridge is ready."

The man stood up, straightened his clothes, and his eyebrows twitched.

"Is Daddy going out?"

"Ah."

"Then... goodbye, Daddy..." Yingzi blinked her beady eyes and said in a daze.

"Ah."

"boom."

The man tugged at his collar, looked straight ahead, and slammed the doorknob shut.

Hiroya Nagashima walked into the corridor with his hands in his pockets, his face gloomy, and his long, slanted hair looked like a scar across his brow.

The sound of a girl's laughter came from inside the house.

Hiroya Nagashima took a breath and knocked on the door.

"Ding dong."

I changed my status today to encourage myself; I won't update tomorrow.
