I really don't want to have a girlfriend.

"The wind is quite noisy today..."

"Stop meowing, you stupid cat! I'll whip you to death with my tail! And let you taste my powerful waist!"

"Ha, you rutting animal, why don't you reincarnate as a rabbit?"

"Stop arguing! If you want to argue, go do it in the examination room!"

"Idiots! You all escaped with your lives! Idiots!"

"Damn it! I, Teddy, am going to wreck this cage and that bird today!"

Standing at the door, Tenkuji Yu covered her ears with a grim expression.

When I came yesterday, all I noticed was how lively they were barking and meowing.

Now, as soon as you understand what they're saying, it's so unbearable to listen to and makes you feel uncomfortable all over. Staying here for even a minute longer is torture.

The parrot is a raspy-voiced idiot; the teddy bear is a foul-mouthed scoundrel; the British Shorthair is a sarcastic, two-faced cat; there's also a pigeon who sees through the nature of pigeons and a rabbit who tries to mediate...

This animal hospital is ridiculous! Even "The Last Supper" wasn't as outrageous as you guys!

"What's wrong?" Yukinoshita Haruno walked to his side and looked at him strangely.

Yuu Tenkuji shook his head, lowered his hand, and took a deep breath.

"It's alright... Let's go pick up Xue Nong."

He was mentally prepared.

If the gray-spotted kitten that he plans to entrust to his sister's care is a mollusc who's always trying to get into the cage, or a cat with a sarcastic, ambiguous tone, then for the sake of peace in the house and his own emotional stability, he needs to use his fluent animal language to communicate with it properly.

Communication techniques include, but are not limited to, threats, intimidation, bribery, deception... In short, if dialogue is possible, treat the other party as a human being for the time being to facilitate problem-solving.

"I called beforehand. Xue Nong is doing a final check-up and won't be out for a while."

"Then let's go outside and wait."

He really didn't want to stay in this place for even a second longer.

If noise had a shape, it would probably look like hell.

Yukinoshita, not understanding what was going on, shrugged and followed him to wait in the quiet waiting area.

Before long, the veterinarian and nurse came towards the two carrying a cage containing the gray kitten.

Yukino Yukinoshita talked to them about the aftercare, while Yuu Tenkuji took the cage and stared at the kitten inside.

After a while, a lively cat meow rang out:

"Human, are you my master?"

Chapter 65 Your voice actress is Kawasumi ○ko?

Yuu Tenkuji stared into the cat's eyes and whispered in a voice that Yukinoshita couldn't hear:

"That's right, I am your master from now on."

"Beast Language (Proficient Level)" gave him the basic ability to communicate with animals, and both sides could understand each other's language meaning - it's just unknown what kind of wonderful special effects this skill will have when it reaches the Expert or Perfect level.

"Meow~" The gray-spotted kitten meowed again, observing him with its cute and curious eyes.

But in reality, it says this:

"Although I don't know why you can talk to me, unlike the other humans... but I understand now, the contract is now established."

The kitten nudged the cage with its head, then gently licked the finger he had placed in front of it, its tone remarkably solemn:

"As your pet, my paws will accompany you from now on, and your fate will be intertwined with mine."

Yuu Tenkuji: "..."

Your voice actress is Ayako Kawasumi? (PS: Ayako Kawasumi is the voice actress for Saber)

Wait, how would a kitten that looks less than a year old know these lines?

This is too surreal!

The kitten answered his question: "There's an old cat nearby who understands human speech and sometimes comes over to tell us stories... He says that if we meet someone who wants to adopt us, saying this line is the best thing to do."

"But ordinary people can't understand it."

"It also says, 'Who cares if people understand or not, just say it and that's it.'"

"..."

Sure, I'm Cat Master.

Her expression shifted from subtle to amused, and Yuu Tenkuji couldn't help but think to herself—animals have their own fascinating stories too. They argue, they tell tales, and they even know how to use cartoon references to fool children. They're not that different from the human world after all.

And this skill is more useful than he imagined; it is certainly not the useless and ordinary skill he had previously thought.

Just as he was silently pondering the application scope of his animal language skills, Yukino Yukinoshita finished communicating with the veterinarian and came over with the kitten's physical examination report and some cat food to supplement its nutrition.

"Huh? Are you talking to Xue Nong?"

Surprised, she sat down beside him with a smile in her eyes, leaning in to look at the kitten in the cage with him, her long eyelashes blinking with interest.

"Meow, meow~"

As she listened to her feigned cuteness in imitating a cat's meow, Yuu Tenkuji said truthfully, "I was just communicating with it, and it has already recognized me as its master."

"Hmph~ So amazing?" Thinking he was joking, Yukinoshita Haruno glanced at him with a smile, not caring at all.

The kitten, despite being stared at, showed no fear. Instead, it looked at Tenkuji Yu and meowed.

"Master, she was very kind to me, giving me food and taking care of my health... I thought she was my master, but she couldn't understand me, so the contract wasn't formed."

Tenkuji Yu raised an eyebrow.

"So, do you want her to become your master?"

Seeing him speak to the kitten with a serious expression, Yukinoshita Haruno's gaze towards him immediately turned strange.

However, neither the cat nor Yuu Tenkuji paid any attention to her.

The kitten shook its head: "A loyal subject does not serve two masters. Since the contract has been made, I will not show loyalty to other humans... Besides, they cannot understand me."

"I see." Tenkuji Yu was inexplicably moved.

No wonder his old cats always ignored him; it turns out it was because they couldn't communicate with him...

Long live animal language skills!

Owning a cat doesn't feel like having a master, it feels more like having a servant—it's so exhilarating!

A smile appeared on his lips as he pointed to Yukinoshita beside him:

"I understand. From now on, you can call her 'Yonai-neechan'."

The kitten immediately meowed at her.

Yukino Yukinoshita, who was watching their "interaction" with a subtle look, paused for a moment before looking at Tenkuji Yu with suspicion.

"Is it... talking to me?"

Yuu Tenkuji glanced at the veterinarian and nurse returning to the examination room and said directly, "It's calling you Haruno-neechan."

Yukino was still somewhat skeptical. She met the kitten's gaze again and tentatively asked, "Hello?"

"Meow~"

"It said, if you can't understand cat language, don't waste your time over there, you foolish human."

Yukinoshita Yono: "..."

She gave him a half-smile, half-smile, and could tell he was deliberately making fun of her.

Before Yukino could ask any further questions, a girl suddenly walked in from outside, passed by them, and hurriedly rushed to the counter while carrying a dachshund.

"Um, excuse me, my dog ​​Sabre suddenly..."

Just as Yukino Yukinoshita turned her gaze away, Tenkuji Yu took the cage and the miscellaneous items in her hands, turned around and walked out the door.

"Are you alright now? Let's go back then."

"Ok?"

Sensing something from his deliberately lowered voice, Yukinoshita Haruno slowly raised her eyebrows, revealing an interested smile.

She glanced at the pink-haired girl standing at the counter, then looked at the nonchalant Tenkuji Yu, her eyes gradually brightening with pleasure, her intention to cause trouble obvious.

Then, as if she hadn't heard what Tenkuji Yu said, Yukinoshita Haruno, with an innocent smile, spoke:

"you……"

Before the sound was even halfway through, Yuu Tenkuji raised the cage and blocked their heads.

The gray-spotted kitten, forced to maintain a fixed perspective, blinked blankly.

Because these two human men and women suddenly started fighting with their mouths right in front of it.

"Meow, Grandpa Cat didn't teach me this move..."

Less than three seconds into the brief encounter, Yuuki Tenkuji pulled the now-silent Yukino Yukinoshita away from the animal hospital.

"...I have a poor appetite and can't eat anything."

After the pink-haired girl in front of the counter finished speaking, she seemed to hear a sound and turned her head to look in confusion.

But all I saw was the back view of a couple hurrying away.

△

"Unauthorized kissing of a woman... let me think, how many years could that get me in prison..."

Leaning against the car door, Yukinoshita touched her lips thoughtfully.

Tenkuji Yu glanced at her sideways, showing no fear whatsoever: "It's really shameful that someone who forcibly kissed me twice has the nerve to say that."

Her expression changed instantly. For some reason, Yukinoshita Haruno smiled extremely happily, her eyes curving into crescent moons.

"Hehe, just kidding~ We're boyfriend and girlfriend, this kind of reciprocal physical contact is just normal, right?"

“Yeah,” Yuu Tenkuji replied dismissively.

For him, men and women always stand on equal footing.
