I have bound two systems.

"You're as straightforward as ever, but I don't hate that about you."

Just when Suzumiya Chisato's patience was running low, Yukinoshita Haruno finally told her the reason for her sudden call.

"Actually, I'm in Sapporo now, not Tokyo, but my sister seems to be unwell and has a cold. I remember that I took away her cold medicine before, and I don't know if she bought some later. As the saying goes, a neighbor is worse than a distant relative. At this time, I can't take care of my helpless sister, so I can only think of you, Suzumiya-kun."

"Ms. Yang No really loves her sister."

"Yeah, who says it isn't? I hope she can realize this sooner, and then listen to her sister in the future instead of going against me everywhere."

Listening to the half-sighing and half-exclamatory tone of Yukinoshita Haruno on the other end of the phone, Suzumiya Chisato smiled slightly. This was a piece of cake and not a difficult task, so she naturally agreed.

"I'm still outside now. When I go back later, just bring her some cold medicine."

"Well... she seems to have a sore throat and can't speak now. It's better to bring her some anti-inflammatory medicine and throat lozenges."

"Cold medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine, throat lozenges, do you need to bring her some porridge?"

"No, no, that's all. She's not a child, she can handle everything else by herself. Thank you very much. When I'm done with this, I'll thank you when I get back."

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Suzumiya Chisato always felt that Yukinoshita Haruno emphasized the word “thank you”, as if she had some hidden meaning.

He declined.

"No, it's not a big deal."

"Haha, let's talk about it later. I won't bother you anymore. Bye."

After saying what she needed help with, Yukinoshita Haruno hung up the phone decisively.

It just so happened that Chisato Suzumiya also arrived at her destination. After he paid and got off the car, he saw a pharmacy on the side of the street and walked towards that direction first.

------

Useless.

The idea that you will be back to normal after a good night's sleep is wrong.

Before, Yukinoshita Xuemiao, who was lying on the bed counting sheep, finally fell asleep. Then two hours later, she woke up and her body was still the same as before she fell asleep, with a soft body and tender pink balls. Nothing had changed at all.

Squatting on the sink, Yukinoshita Snow Cat looked at her own cute body and cute face, and her heart gradually sank.

Her mood became increasingly heavy. No matter how outstanding she was, when faced with such an incredible thing, she would inevitably fall into a vortex of anxiety and pessimism.

Why is this happening?

It doesn't make any sense at all and it can't be explained from a scientific point of view.

It’s true that she likes cats very much, but if she has to live as a cat from now on... Let’s not talk about her own thoughts, what will happen to her family?

You will definitely feel extremely sad because of this.

Yukinoshita Yukino, who was in a complicated and uneasy mood, came to her senses and found herself in the living room and jumped on the coffee table.

She stretched out her paw, unlocked her phone after several accidental touches, and flipped through the incredibly short address book list. Her eyes went back and forth among the names, and finally she chose her sister.

I want to talk, I want to tell the closest people everything that I have experienced...

[Yukinoshita Haruno, calling...]

After this prompt appeared on the screen, Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly woke up.

She thought about her current situation. She was just a kitten who could only say "meow, meow, meow". In this case, what was the point of calling him?

She was just about to click "Hang Up" to end this sudden call, but the other party answered the call before her.

"Hey, Yukino-chan~ It's really rare for you to call me on your own initiative."

"..."

"Hello... hello?"

"..."

"The signal is not good, strange..."

"..."

Yukinoshita Haruno talked to herself for a while and then hung up the phone.

When she called again, Yukinoshita Yukino simply chose to ignore her.

And after she sent him a series of "???" messages, he clicked on the text message page and simply typed on the screen with his soft flesh ball.

Originally she wanted to talk, but the moment she heard her sister's voice, she suddenly changed her mind.

My sister is currently out of town taking care of housework. If possible, I don't want to let her worry about my own affairs for the time being.

So she typed a reply.

[Sorry, I was a little uncomfortable with the question, and I accidentally dialed a number on my phone just now. ]

A cat's paw is much harder to use than a human's fingers. There were typos in the reply text message, but in this case, as long as the other party can understand it, it's enough. It took Yukinoshita Yukino several minutes to type these words and she didn't want to bother changing them.

Yukinoshita Haruno recovered in almost an instant.

【Where do you feel uncomfortable? 】

[It's okay, I just have a cold and my throat feels a little uncomfortable. I'm going to sleep. You should also take some rest, sister.]

【kindness. 】

After the text message exchange ended, Yukinoshita Yukino stared at the screen of her phone in a daze until it turned off by itself.

Night had already fallen, and the room was dark.

The light switch was more than a meter above the wall, and it was difficult for her to reach it with her unfamiliar body.

Is this going to continue forever?

Get used to this body and live your life from now on?

Yukinoshita Yukino came to the balcony and looked at the street scene that was so familiar to her through the transparent tempered glass from an unfamiliar perspective, her heart filled with melancholy and confusion.

------

“…Is this what you want? Ah——”

"Something is not right, Yudai, you are focusing too much on the sound of your throat and ignoring your breath. You must always leave yourself some room and use the strength of your chest. When you make a sound, you don't have to force the breath out, but rather let it come naturally through the rhythm of your breathing..."

At the dinner table celebrating the award, Chisato Suzumiya was explaining to Ikuyo Kita the vocal techniques for singing songs.

This is serious business. If it were in the past, Ijichi Kouka would not have had any strange thoughts, but since Chisato Suzumiya took the stage at the music festival, she found that everyone who had ended the band seemed to have changed in some ways.

There's not much to say about Goto Ichiri, he's the same as always.

As for Yamada Ryo, there are some subtle changes, but if you don't look closely, you can hardly see anything, so it's not a cause for concern for the time being.

Only Kita Ikuyo is different. Her words...many aspects of her expression are completely different from before.

For example, when they were practicing together in Fanxing, she would always be particularly happy when Chisato Suzumiya came to visit.

For example, at today's award celebration dinner, before Chisato Suzumiya arrived, she asked Goto Ichiri, who was in charge of liaison, three times in a row about the other party's specific arrival time.

For example, now, she directly took the seat next to Chisato Suzumiya, and talked about the singing techniques of the song so happily and familiarly.

We are all friends, and it is a good thing that the relationship is so good... But, is it a bit too much to have such a good relationship?

Ijichi Kouka, who noticed this, was extremely worried about this matter.

It can be said that those involved are the most confused. The three key people at the center of the vortex did not seem to notice such changes. Ijichi Hongxia didn't know whether this situation was a bad thing or not.

With such complicated feelings, Ijichi Hongxia went to discuss with Yamada Ryo, but the other party, contrary to her usual behavior, stared at her eyes for a long time, and the answer she gave in the end was quite consistent with her usual style.

"Let it be. If Yudai-chan really has that idea, and Suzumiya-kun also has that intention, then we can't change anything."

After hearing Yamada Ryo's answer, Ijichi Hongxia sighed helplessly. Although she couldn't agree with it, she really couldn't say anything now since nothing had happened, let alone do anything about it.

We can only hope that Kita Ikuyo's sudden enthusiasm for Suzumiya Chisato is simply because she admires her singing skills, and not because of some other inappropriate thoughts.

The celebration banquet lasted until after ten o'clock in the evening.

After the show, Yamada Ryo suggested going to karaoke for a second time, but Ijichi Kouka rejected the suggestion by tapping her head and saying that she had classes the next day.

After seeing everyone off in a taxi, Chisato Suzumiya was the last to leave.

After arriving at the apartment, he stepped into the elevator and pressed the corresponding floor.

Looking down at the cold medicine in his hand, he thought about just knocking on the door and handing the medicine over, saying that it was Yukinoshita Haruno who asked him to do so. The other party had a bad impression of him, so there was no need to be polite.

"Ding."

When she arrived at the floor, Suzumiya Chisato walked out of the elevator. Instead of going to her own home, she came to the door of an apartment with the surname "Yukinoshita" on the wall.

Come to think of it, this seemed to be his first time visiting his neighbor.

He didn't think too much and rang the doorbell.

The room was dark. Yukinoshita Yukino was lying on the sofa, staring at the night view outside the window, thinking about her future. She was startled by the sudden ringing of the doorbell. Her drooping ears suddenly stood up, and so did her tail.

Who would come unexpectedly at such a late hour?

Yukinoshita Yukino quickly jumped off the sofa and came to the entrance.

She looked at the peephole in the middle of the door in a dilemma. As a kitten, she had no way of finding out who was outside the door through that small hole.

However, there are other ways.

She used the shoe rack as a springboard and jumped onto the entrance cabinet next to the door.

There is a camera installed above the door to her apartment, and a video screen inside, next to the inner door.

She stood on the entrance cabinet and could operate it easily even in cat posture.

After a few clicks with the meatball, Chisato Suzumiya appeared on the screen.

He stood outside the door obediently, looking straight ahead and waiting quietly, seeming to be holding something in his hand.

Why did this playboy suddenly ring my doorbell so late at night?

Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly became alert.

Before she could vent her emotions, she suddenly felt dizzy for a moment and the scene in her eyes became blurry.

She realized something, but her body didn't have time to react, so she lost her balance and fell to the side.

Chisato Suzumiya waited for a while outside the door, but seeing no response, she thought the other party didn't hear her, so she planned to press the doorbell again.

However, before he stretched out his hand and pressed it, he heard a distinct dull sound coming from inside the door.

It was like something had fallen to the ground.

Combining with what Yukinoshita Haruno had said before, he suddenly imagined the scene where the weak Yukinoshita Yukino was trying to open the door with her weak body, but ended up running out of energy and falling to the ground.

Are you kidding me? If something happens to Yukinoshita Haruno's beloved sister because of me...

Suzumiya Chisato didn't dare to think too much, he started knocking on the door the next moment,

"Yukinoshita... classmate? Are you okay!?"

………………

Chapter 8 If I Became a Cat (k)

"Yukinoshita... classmate? Are you okay!?"

Chisato Suzumiya's worried words came in along with the knock on the door.

Yukinoshita Yukino fell to the ground inside the door, ignoring the pain in her buttocks and staring blankly at her hands.

Each of them has five fingers, so it is indeed a human palm!

Looking slightly downward, what she saw was not the hairy body as before, but a bright and clean body.

The human body that she had once taken for granted now actually returned, and for a moment her eyes welled up with tears.

Some things, you don't realize how precious they are until you lose them.

"Um, I heard a loud noise, are you okay?"

Chisato Suzumiya was still knocking on the door.

His voice brought Yukinoshita Yukino back to her senses.

She looked down at her naked body and her face instantly turned red.

She was in such a close distance to a man in such a posture, even though there was a door between them, it was still shameful enough.

"Wait a mininute."
