"This information needs to be recorded to prevent future mistakes."

"I don't want to endure another round of nagging from my sister-obsessed brother."

"Meow!"

Because he was so engrossed in thinking about the problem, Kasugano Mirai was only awakened by the sudden meowing of a cat when he realized that the direction he was choosing was exactly the opposite of the direction he was going home.

Just as I was about to turn around, I suddenly remembered the meowing I had just heard.

So he followed the direction from which the sound came and finally came to the entrance of a small alley.

"Meow~!"

Upon reaching this point, the cat's meows became even clearer.

Taking a deep breath, Kasugano Mirai walked into the alley and immediately spotted a cardboard box placed not far away on the ground. The sound was coming from the box.

Approaching the box, he looked down and made a loving eye contact with the little kitten that was raising its face.

Then, the kitten let out a perfectly timed "meow," which almost melted his heart.

As the saying goes, "A tiger in the heart can sniff a rose."

Even tough guys have tender feelings, let alone Kasugano Mirai, who is practically a cat lover herself.

Upon seeing this, he immediately made the decision to adopt.

Meeting this cat today felt like fate.

"Although my current apartment doesn't allow pets, Kurumi, being a cat lover, definitely won't object to having another little cutie in the house."

With this in mind, he bent down, picked up the box, and turned to walk out of the alley.

................................................................................................................................................................................................................ ………………

Concerned about the kitten's condition, Yukino Yukinoshita quickly went to a nearby convenience store to buy cat food and goat milk.

However, it's currently school dismissal time, which is also the time when many housewives come out to buy groceries and prepare dinner.

Therefore, even though she bought the food as quickly as possible, it still took her about ten minutes.

Carrying the food she had bought, she jogged towards the alley she had just come from. As she approached, she saw a strangely familiar figure emerge from the alley, and the person had clearly noticed her as well.

Seeing the contents of the convenience bag the girl was carrying, and then looking at the cardboard box in her arms, Kasugano Mirai hesitated and asked, "...Yukinoshita-san, is this kitten your pet?"

"...No, I only discovered it recently myself."

After a brief moment of shock, Yukino Yukinoshita regained her usual cool demeanor.

"Judging from its cries, I realized it had been left here for a while, so I went to a nearby convenience store to buy some food."

"Judging from Kasugano-san's posture, could it be that she's planning to adopt this kitten?"

Kasugano Mirai hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"We do have that plan."

"In that case, Kasugano-san, you should take these back with you. It's a waste to leave them here."

Upon receiving an affirmative reply, Yukino Yukinoshita handed over the cat food and goat milk she had bought.

Since she had already said that, Kasugano Mirai couldn't very well refuse, so she could only accept the convenience bag the girl offered.

"If I have the chance, I'll go to Kasugano-san's house to check on the cat."

"If I find out that Kasugano-kun has abused cats, please be prepared to go to jail and be fined."

There are many people in society who take stray cats and dogs home to abuse and kill them, either to vent their negative emotions or simply out of bloodlust.

Therefore, new Japanese laws stipulate that abusing cats and dogs can be punished with up to five years in prison or a fine of five million yen.

Having been married for many years, the young woman naturally knew that the man in front of her was practically a cat lover, and she never suspected that he was planning to do something bad by taking the kitten away.

I said that just to annoy him a little.

Upon hearing this, Kasugano Mirai secretly rolled her eyes.

"Going to jail? Being fined?"

"Come on, give me a break!"

"If I really had a habit of abusing cats, and Kurumi, that hardcore cat lover, found out, I'd be lucky to escape with my life."

"Don't worry, I'm not that ruthless."

"...I'll just believe that statement for now."

……

……

……

In the very end, Kasugano Mirai left the place carrying a cardboard box.

Behind him, Yukino Yukinoshita gazed at his back for a long time.

I don't know if she cares about people or cats.

But then again, what do we usually call the act of transferring a cat from one cat owner to another?

P.S.: Comments on sidebars will be closed for a month... Looks like I'll be writing single-player games for a month... I was originally planning to use sidebars to find problems or something... This is ridiculous...

Chapter Fifteen: Memories Always Make Me Cry

The flowers bloom at two ends, one on each side.

Private Fengzhiqi College.

At the school gate, Kato Megumi looked at her friend with concern: "Eriri, are you really okay?"

"No, we can go visit Xiaoqiong together tomorrow. Please don't force yourself."

Standing before her was Eriri, who looked lost and pale.

Hearing her friend's concerned words, Eriri forced a smile that looked more like a grimace: "He's just someone I don't get along with, I'm not going to be so devastated by this."

Hearing this, Kato Megumi felt a little relieved.

Because that's the truth.

Relationships need to be maintained. We've hardly been in contact since the third grade of elementary school. Even if we're childhood sweethearts, how much of the relationship can be left?

Even Eriri, who had reconciled with Aki Tomoya in her past life, was able to overcome her psychological trauma after learning of his death, let alone the fact that the two have not yet reconciled.

"Don't worry about me, Hui. Let's go visit Xiaoqiong."

"Ah."

The Kasugano family lives in Ikebukuro, Toshima Ward.

Toshima Ward is considered a relatively unknown area among Tokyo's 23 wards, but it is known as a mecca for manga. However, Ikebukuro is a bustling area on par with Ginza, Shinjuku, Shibuya, and Asakusa.

As they passed a slope covered with cherry blossoms, Kato Megumi subconsciously glanced at it a couple more times.

"...Detective Hill?"

"Thankfully, I've never been bothered by that annoying guy in my life."

In fact, Kato Megumi is hiding a secret that no one else knows.

She is a reborn person!

Rebirth time: seventeen years ago.

Simply put, it means being reborn as an infant.

When she discovered that she had been reborn, after a brief moment of surprise, she was filled with guilt and self-blame.

In her previous life, Kato Megumi was an insignificant girl who encountered something that changed her life during her second year of high school.

Years later, she still remembers it. It was a day after spring break when the famous otaku in the whole school chased after her and asked her to be his leading lady.

At the time, she was so annoyed by his harassment and was also quite bored that she agreed to his suggestion. Then, in that club, she met the love of her life, Kasugano Mirai, and her best friend, Eriri.

After graduating from university, she and her boyfriend entered the marriage hall amidst the blessings of relatives and friends.

Everyone, including herself, thought that the future would be filled with happiness and fulfillment.

However, fate played a trick on her, though not a small one.

The husband was diagnosed with an incurable disease in the third year of their marriage.

In order not to delay her, and not to let her spend the rest of her life alone with her memorial tablet and sweet memories, her beloved, together with several mutual friends, told a colossal lie.

"I'm sorry, the person I really like is Kasumigaoka-senpai."

"No man can resist a curvy, sexy office lady with long, straight black hair who also likes to wear black stockings."

……

"Hmm, Eriri is good too."

“We’ve spent countless sweet nights with you on our backs.”

"To be honest, girls who have their own steering wheel are absolutely treasures."

……

"Scumbag?"

"No, no, no, how can you call him a scumbag?"

"I just wanted to give them a home together."
