Living in Tokyo, all I want to do is laze around.

Vending machines are everywhere in Tokyo.

She saw the various drinks inside and decided to buy one to drink on the way.

She walked in front of the red vending machine, looked at the milk inside the glass, and touched her waist with her little hand.

I touched it and found that my waist was empty.

"Hey, didn't you bring your fanny pack?"

Hanabi Hanamaru looked herself over and realized that she had indeed forgotten to take it.

She thought about it carefully, and realized that not long ago... she seemed to have packed the things and put them in the bedroom.

I forgot to hang it on my waist when I went out.

Without money or a card, you can't even take the tram.

There was no other way but to turn back.

She turned back home, unlocked the door with her key, and put on slippers in the entryway before returning inside.

She glanced around the living room; the TV was off, and no one was there.

"Has Kai-kun gone out yet?"

He usually goes out later.

Hanamaru Hanabi slowly walked towards the second-floor bedroom.

Her steps were light and even, neither too long nor too short.

------

Ten minutes ago.

Kai Uesugi noticed that Hanabi Hanabi had indeed gone out. After watching TV on the sofa for a while longer, he went upstairs to his bedroom.

Morning is the time for the investigation.

He didn't go to class.

He wasn't seriously ill, but he still wanted to get better as soon as possible.

For the past two weeks, every morning he has transformed into Uesugi Neko and wandered around various shrines, lounging on offering boxes to kill time.

Some people would pat his head, and some would want to take him home.

But no one was interested in the magatama hanging around his neck, and the system gave no indication of its presence.

Kai Uesugi is a laid-back person; he believes in taking things slowly and not rushing things.

However, perseverance is a prerequisite.

Therefore, Uesugi Kai plans to have Uesugi Neko appear again today.

He was unaware of the transformation process.

Rather than a transformation, he felt that his consciousness had transferred into Uesugi Neko's body, and his own body had temporarily disappeared.

I'm not sure, but that's roughly the feeling.

He sat on the bed, closed his eyes, and selected to open the system interface.

.......

The curtains were gently lifted by the wind, and Hanabi Hanamaru remembered that she had closed the windows before leaving the house.

"cat?"

Hanabi Hanamaru was very curious about why an orange cat suddenly appeared on her bed. Could it have run in through the window? But who opened the window?

Uesugi Neko was actually startled. When he stretched out his body, he suddenly saw Hanamaru Hanabi standing at the door wearing a small straw hat.

Did she see it?

Will she recognize me?

If someone recognizes you, how should you explain it?

Uesugi Neko lay on the bed, looking towards the door, waiting for the girl to come closer.

Before long, Hanabi Hanamaru began to approach the orange cat in her house. She felt that this cat looked a lot like the cat she had seen two years ago.

She tried to get closer to him.

She extended her slender fingers and held them out in front of him.

The cat's eyes were intelligent; seeing the girl's outstretched hand, it affectionately licked it twice.

Girls usually interact with small animals out of curiosity, especially if the animals are affectionate towards them.

Their mood would instantly brighten, and they would say things like "So cute!"

Hanabi Hanamaru was just like that; she discovered that this orange cat that had appeared out of nowhere actually liked her, and she felt a little happy.

His tiny licks made his fingertips itch.

She reached out and picked up the cat.

"A little chubby... but... is this Kai-kun's necklace?"

Hanabi Hanamaru clearly saw the magatama hanging around Uesugi Neko's neck, and without a doubt, it was indeed a pair with hers.

Why is the magatama here...?

Upon seeing the magatama that shouldn't be there, a strange thought suddenly came to mind.

She turned around and found that Uesugi Kai's laptop was still sitting on the chair.

The computer wasn't taken either...

Turning back to look at the cat I had picked up, its eyes... were very similar...

The vanished Kai-kun, the unclaimed handbag, the identical magatama, the remarkably similar eyes...

"Is it... Kai-kun?"

Hanabi Hanamaru had barely opened her mouth when she began to doubt herself.

How could Kai-kun be a cat? Kai-kun isn't a cat in disguise.

They grew up together, how could Kai-kun possibly be a cat?

Uesugi Neko, nestled in her arms, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her shake her head.

If she discovers that I can turn into a cat, how should I explain it?

'Is Uesugi Kai a cat turned human?'

From the perspective of the supernatural and monsters, that should be able to convince her somewhat.

After all, anthropomorphic cats are quite popular online.

Hanamaru Hanabi is an illustrator, so she must come into contact with these elements.

She hugged Uesugi tightly, found the fanny pack she hadn't taken, took out her phone, and called Uesugi Kai.

The bell rang quickly, right in the bedroom.

Hanabi Hanamaru walked to the bedside, picked up Uesugi Kai's phone with a puzzled look, and hung up the call she had made.

"Kai-kun...why did you leave without taking your phone...?"

She lifted the cat in her arms again, gazing into his calm and languid eyes.

"棣... 君?"

###Chapter 325 The Discovered Secret.###

"Kai-kun, is that Kai-kun?"

"Meow~~~"

With its bland and lazy voice, Hanabi Hanamaru couldn't understand the meaning behind the cat's meow.

But strangely... she had a very peculiar feeling in her heart, which made her believe that the orange cat in her hands was Uesugi Kai herself.

This looks just like when he's standing next to me, looking me in the eye.

Hanabi Hanamaru hugged the orange cat back into her arms and curiously extended her index finger towards it.

The cat licked her affectionately, and the ticklish sensation between her fingers seemed to pluck at the girl's heartstrings.

Hanabi stroked the soft fur on its head and asked softly, "Can you understand me?"

"Meow." Uesugi cat stretched its neck along her little hand.

She roughly understood that this meant yes.

She hesitated for a moment, then asked:

"Is it... Kai-kun?"

"Meow."

Cats are inherently intelligent animals and respond to what people say.

Hanabi Hanamaru still couldn't make a judgment, but vaguely felt that this kind of thing was not very real.

She sat down on the edge of the bed.

"If...if you can understand me, could you call my name twice?"

At this moment, Uesugi Neko looked up at the girl's face from her arms, his mind also conflicted.

Should we tell Hanabi about this?

I told her... Will she be able to accept it?

The girl is very pretty, with soft short hair, a beautiful and delicate face, and fair and jade-like skin. Her pure and lovely appearance is well reflected in her.

She had grown up with him since childhood and had given him her heart countless times... Uesugi Kai didn't want to lie to her because of that.

After pondering for a long time, Uesugi Neko looked up at her in response to her question:

"Meow, meow."
