It started with being hated by the girl in the band

Because the stars were out of power tonight, Nakagawa Nobuyuki and Chihaya Aine did not take the same route this time. In the end, Chihaya Aine said goodbye to Nakagawa Nobuyuki with a reluctant look in her eyes.

Xiao Deng and Shiina Riki left together. Before leaving, Xiao Deng said seriously: "Next time, I want to take photos like this with Xin."

As a result, Nakagawa Nobuyuki was glared at by Shiina Riki before he left...

(Let’s not talk about the name [Light]. If you dare to touch the light, I will definitely not let you off!)

Shiina Riki glared at Nakagawa Nobuyuki with these words.

Nagasaki Suyo couldn't leave easily all of a sudden. Xiaoju was now circling around Nagasaki Suyo's feet, as if he didn't want to let Nagasaki Suyo go.

"Okay, okay... I'm going home, okay?"

He touched the kitten in front of him with a gentle tone, but although the kitten was still purring, it had no intention of letting Nagasaki Suyo go.

Nagasaki Suyo had no choice but to turn her gaze to Nakagawa Nobuyuki who was teasing Lenna.

"Nakagawa-san, can you do me a favor?"

Hearing Nagasaki Motoyo's light and embarrassed tone, Nakagawa Nobuyuki turned his head and looked at Nagasaki Motoyo who was scratching the kitten's belly and feeling troubled.

Pets cannot be brought on the train. The fact that RiNG accepted this kitten for such a long time was nothing more than Miss Rinrinko's tacit consent. It is also possible to release it back to the street... But looking at this clumsy and cute three-legged cat, Nagasaki Suyo softened her heart.

Should I try to take it home and raise it for a few days? It would be better to raise it for a few days before sending it to a rescue center.

Although I can't take the train, how about... taking a taxi? My pocket money should be enough.

"If you want to take it home, just wait a minute—here's this."

Miss Rinrinko seemed to have seen the people in trouble, and suddenly seemed to remember something. She turned and went backstage. Soon she took out a pet backpack and handed it to Kaname Rakuna with shining eyes.

"this."

Kaname Lenai, carrying a beige pet backpack, ran over to the two of them with a happy look on her face.

"Doraemon? I mean... where did you get the pet backpack?"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki looked at Miss Rinrinko who seemed to be performing magic and couldn't help but complain.

"Ah... this was left here by a guest a long time ago. Maybe half a year ago?"

Miss Rinrinko tapped her lips, looking as if she was trying hard to recall something.

"…Then thank you, Ms. Rinrinko."

Nagasaki Suyo was stunned, seemed a little surprised, and took the pet backpack with a smile.

"come in?"

"Meow~"

The little orange one was quite well-behaved. He meowed softly and then snuggled into the pet backpack.

There is a small spherical observation window on the pet backpack, with a movable black baffle on the outside. This is because if you want to bring your pet on the tram, it cannot be seen directly by other passengers, so the baffle needs to be lowered at that time.

"Meow."

"Meow~"

Through the transparent observation window, Yao Lenai poked the window curiously and meowed. The little orange in the backpack also meowed back out of courtesy.

...Is this some kind of cat language?

Chapter 81: Owner.

The neon lights on the streets are flickering, and Tokyo in Minato Ward is worthy of the word "magnificent". Only at this moment, Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who lives in an old apartment, can remember that Tokyo is still the "second largest city in the world".

Looking at the conspicuous Tokyo Tower in the distance, Nakagawa Shinko's heart was as calm as water.

Not to mention the Tokyo Tower, the signal towers around the place he rented are a bit far away, and he has to hold the phone higher to make calls every day.

"So, we need to buy cat food, cat litter, and a litter box, right? Is there anything else we need to replenish?"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki wrote down the things he needed to buy on the memo on his phone and looked up at Nagasaki Suyo who was thinking about something.

"Hmm...it should be nothing. Thank you so much for coming over here today, Nakagawa-san."

Nagasaki Suyo, who was wearing a beige pet backpack on her back, came to her senses, crossed her fingers in front of her, and smiled softly.

Because Nakagawa Nobuyuki often works part-time and is only at home at night, the shelter would have been closed by then, so they had to send Xiaoju to Nagasaki Suyo.

By the way, on the way, Nagasaki Motoyo also called the rescue station, arranged a time, and sent the kitten there. However, it seemed that Xiaoju would have to stay at Nagasaki Motoyo's house tonight.

That's why we need to buy some cat food, cat litter, etc. Although Xiaoju probably won't need the cat litter tonight, we can just donate it to the rescue station when the time comes.

As a real local rich lady, Nagasaki Motoyo took Nakagawa Nobuyuki for a few turns and entered a fairly large shopping mall.

As soon as he entered the door, the powerful air conditioner was so powerful that it made Nakagawa Nobuyuki shudder subconsciously.

How could one find a pet supplies store in such a large shopping mall? Just looking at the large and small characters on the guide sign, which looked like ants moving, gave Nakagawa Shin a headache.

"Nagasaki, there really is a pet here..."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki turned his somewhat hesitant gaze to Nagasaki Suyo who was standing in front of the guide sign, and couldn't help but open his mouth to ask something.

"Ah, I found it. The pet supply store is over here."

As a result, before Nakagawa Nobuyuki could finish his question, Nagasaki Suyo, who was overly familiar with the place, had already looked at the densely packed guide signs and immediately found where the pet supplies store was, and Nakagawa Nobuyuki was about to say something.

"Nakagawa-san, what did you just say?"

As if she didn't hear clearly what Nakagawa Nobuyuki said, Nagasaki Suyo gave him a curious and innocent look.

Maybe it was Nakagawa Nobuyuki's illusion, he always felt that there was some mockery in Nagasaki Motoyo's eyes... Maybe it was an illusion, after all, it seemed that Nagasaki was not capable of doing such a thing.

"I'm sorry, please pretend you didn't hear anything."

Nakagawa Shin had a blank expression on his face and shut his mouth obediently.

I almost forgot that this kind of rich lady is probably the one who can recite in one breath: [Delicious milk tea with taro balls, pudding, coconut, taro paste, Aoao crumbs, crispy Bobo, milk cap, peanuts, oats, red beans and arsenic], so it seems that it's just a pet supplies store, which is a piece of cake.

Since I knew where the pet supplies store was, I quickly found the entrance.

“Welcome~”

The shop assistant's eyes lit up and she stood up from behind the counter to greet me.

"Eh...um, what kind of cat food would be best for a ginger cat of this age?"

As she spoke, Nagasaki Motoyo smiled her signature smile and handed the beige backpack in her hand to the store clerk.

Xiaoju seemed to be curious, lying on the observation window and peeking outside.

After opening the backpack and seeing the new area, Xiaoju seemed quite curious and looked around. The clerk already had a rough idea of ​​what to expect.

"Okay, Miss, please come this way."

The shop assistant smiled, leaned forward and stretched out her arms, motioning the two to follow her.

"Thank you so much~"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who was following Nagasaki Motoyo and the shop assistant, was a little shocked. The prices of various cat foods on the shelves in a place like this were simply outrageous.

The most expensive ones that Nakagawa Nobu saw were about 1 kilogram in a bag, but they were selling for nearly 7,000 yen...

Although I don’t know how much the kitten eats in one meal, but looking at its size, I guess it won’t last long.

Nobuyuki Nakagawa only makes about 6,000 to 7,000 yen a day working, so it seems that this little rich woman does have a lot of pocket money.

"If it's a kitten of this age, this one will be a little pinker and better for the stomach, but you still have to add a little water, okay?"

"But this one is not bad either. It's more suitable for long-term feeding."

The shop assistant smiled and pointed to the bag of cat food that was placed a little higher for Nagasaki Suyo.

Of course the salesgirl could tell which school the uniform in front of her belonged to.

The young ladies in Tsuki No Mori, especially those who are still here at this point, must be the ones who live nearby.

So, of course, we recommend slightly more expensive cat food.

"Well... Nakagawa, what do you think?"

Nagasaki Suyo looked a little embarrassed, and looked hesitantly at Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who was still observing other expensive cat food and supplies in amazement.

“…No, I’ve never had a cat.”

Nakagawa Nobuyuki looked at Nagasaki Suyo who was asking for his opinion, spread his hands helplessly, took down two bags, and then pretended to look at the introduction above.

"Do you need me to introduce you?"

The saleslady also came in promptly with a professional smile.

"Can……"

"No need, just pack them all up, okay?"

Nagasaki Suyo gently pushed her hair behind her ear, without much hesitation in her voice.

"That's no problem of course - is there anything else you need?"

The smile on the salesgirl's face suddenly became even brighter, and she immediately put the cat food in a plastic basket that appeared in her hand at some point.

"…and cat litter and the litter box, please."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki sighed slightly, saying that the little rich woman was different, and then looked at the shelf where cat litter was placed.

Cat litter is relatively cheap, but there are almost no small bags, so you have to buy a big bag... But considering that it will be delivered to the volunteers along with Xiaoju in a few days, it is not a big deal.

Of course, the cat litter is also a lot heavier, so it looks like Nakagawa Nobukazu really needs to carry it.

Because I bought a lot of things that looked expensive, the store even gave me a set of pet washing and care products, so I just took Xiaoju to give him a bath.

Fortunately, the black cat did not turn into a white cat after washing. Xiaoju was even so well-behaved that the shop assistant was surprised.

……

"Nagasaki, if nothing else, I'd have to get over my fear of heights if I did this every day."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki looked at the rapidly jumping numbers in the elevator and his eyebrows twitched.

"…It's actually not that bad."

Nagasaki Suyo didn't have any special reaction. She just stared at the cat food in her hand, and no one knew what she was thinking.

I knew the rich lady was rich, but I didn't expect she was really that rich... The big flats here in Roppongi are really not affordable for ordinary people, no wonder the waiter can get such a high salary just to teach coffee.

Oh yes, speaking of coffee, I just happened to tell Nagasaki that I'm going to take over for RiNG... Come to think of it, I should have told Nagasaki earlier, but I was just paying attention to the cat.

"Um, Nagasaki..."

As a result, before Nakagawa Nobuyuki could speak, Nagasaki Suyo suddenly spoke and interrupted Nakagawa Nobuyuki.

"Is it about the cafe? Riki told me about it when we were at RiNG."

The Nagasaki Suyo in front of him had the same gentle and soft tone as always, but following the reflection of the smooth mirror of the elevator door, Nakagawa Nobuyuki clearly saw that Nagasaki Suyo had a calm expression that was a little exaggerated, and she was gently rolling her hair with her fingers and pursing her lips.

...No, what does this expression mean?

Chapter 82 When the girl was worried about gains and losses...

"…Shigaraki, your expression right now is a bit scary to be honest."

Lifting the cat litter in his hand upwards, Nakagawa Nobuyuki twitched his brows and complained.

It is quite rare to see Nagasaki with such an expression.

Afterwards, Nagasaki Motoyo in the reflection was stunned, and she seemed to have noticed her stiff expression in the reflection of the elevator door. She quickly adjusted her facial expression and put on that beautiful and apologetic smile again.

"Um... sorry... I was a little-"

Ding dong.

The elevator has arrived.

It seems that Mr. Elevator doesn't give Nagasaki Suyo much face.

"It's okay, it's okay... you are indeed a little tired today, Nagasaki."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki laughed, holding a bag of cat litter in each hand, and walked out of the elevator where the atmosphere was somewhat low.
