But she still wouldn't let it go: "Who knows? After all, you really did make a move on Xiao Su Shi."
The fact that Nagasaki Motoyo inadvertently revealed made Riki feel a pang of jealousy.
"Then how do you want me to prove it?" Banami asked.
Lixi's cheeks suddenly flushed red. She gently squatted down and reached out to grab Banami's belt buckle. "Hmph, whether it's true or not, we'll find out by asking here."
Her voice trembled slightly, yet carried an undeniable force.
Huh?! ! Banai was completely dumbfounded. He looked at Riki's reddened earlobes and the hand gripping the belt, his mind going completely blank. "Riki, you, you calm down, this is a school..."
He now understood—the real "stray cat" was the one right in front of him.
I don't know how much time passed, but the shadows of the cherry blossom trees outside the window were all crooked, and the school bell suddenly rang sharply, breaking the lingering atmosphere in the astronomy department.
Lixi was breathing slightly rapidly when she heard Banami say with a hint of smugness, "I told you, I didn't lay a hand on Rakuna-chan."
Li hope gave a soft "humph" but did not refute it. After all, this guy had just wanted to die on him, and Li hope did not smell that strange smell, even though the Astronomy Department was full of it.
Hey, Zero-chan, I'll clean it up properly.
The thought of doing such a thing with Hanami in Kodama's astronomy club made Riki feel somewhat immoral.
Li hope nestled in Banami's arms, her fingers unconsciously tracing his back, her voice softening: "Honestly, why would Rakuna-chan do such a strange thing? She even skipped class to come find you. She's never done anything like that before."
And what's with all this talk about the feeling of love?
Thinking of this, Li hope rolled his eyes at Banai. Although it was probably none of his business, it was also unlikely that it was completely unrelated to him.
Hey, Riki-chan, why is your head so pointy?
Banami said, "Do you think Rakuna could understand the meaning of the word 'love'?"
Lixi seemed to remember something and looked at Banami with some confusion.
Banami hugged her waist, his eyes darkening. A vague guess formed in his mind, but he still needed to confirm it.
Chapter Eleven: The Despicable Xiao Xiang
In Banami and Shoko's bedroom, only a warm bedside lamp was on, its orange glow spreading across the edge of the bed and casting soft spots of light on the floor. Banami leaned against the headboard, his fingers unconsciously stroking the transparent stone that Rakuna had given him during the day. Shoko curled up beside him, her fingertips twirling the hair from Banami's sleeve, her eyes full of anticipation—neither of them was asleep, tacitly waiting for the "regular visitor" to appear.
Sure enough, not long after, there was a soft rustling sound from behind the bedside table, and then a snow-white figure nimbly darted out. Her heterochromatic eyes shone like two beautiful gems under the warm light, radiating a gentle glow.
"Xiao Nai" skillfully barged into the half-open doorway, jumped onto the table with practiced ease, grabbed a cotton swab, and ran straight to Banami's legs, affectionately rubbing her head against his trouser leg. Her furry body carried a refreshing lemon scent as it brushed against his skin.
Yoro Nai had gotten used to being a human during the day and a cat at night. She treated it as a long dream, since she would always turn back during the day anyway, so she might as well enjoy it to the fullest in the dream.
"I said, do you want Rakuna?" Banai held her breath and spoke very softly, "If so, hand me your left paw."
He emphasized the words "left paw" and stared intently at the white cat's forelimbs—if it really was Lena, she should be able to understand what he was saying.
"Pfft—" Xiangzi couldn't help but laugh out loud, and reached out to pat Banami's arm, "Do you know how silly you look talking to the kitten so seriously right now?"
She had heard Banami mention her guess before, but she still thought the idea was absurd.
As expected, the white cat completely ignored Banami's command. It brought the cotton swab to him, nudged it into his hand with its nose, and made "meowing" sounds in its throat. Its eyes were bright and sparkling, clearly still wanting to experience that so-called "electrifying love".
"Answer me first, then I'll help you." As Banai pressed the cotton swab, his guess became clearer and clearer—if this really was about Lena, then what Lixi had said to him during the day, wouldn't that mean... His cheeks instantly burned, and a wave of guilt washed over him.
Xiangzi's voice was full of sarcasm, "If your guess is true, should we call you a lolicon or a Furui connoisseur? Neither of them sounds very nice~"
Banai rolled her eyes, thinking to herself, otherwise it would be hard to explain why Rakuna would get close to him and suddenly talk about the feeling of love.
Whenever such strange situations occur, blaming the system is always the right thing to do.
Especially the new status that appeared in the system: "Exploring the Fields - Wanting to Become Human".
Moreover, similar to previous field trips, apart from names, all other information was concealed, and he will probably have to dig it out little by little.
"I was so unaware of the system's tricks that I was completely taken advantage of by the little cucumber that possessed you," Banami said regretfully, her words hitting Xiangzi's sore spot.
Xiangzi's face darkened instantly, and she turned away without saying a word—that embarrassing history of "swapping bodies" was something she never wanted to mention again in her life.
"Do you really want Rakuna?" Banami asked again, her tone a little urgent. The white cat tilted its head and shoved the cotton swab into his hand even harder. The two of them remained locked in this stalemate, as if they were competing to see who had more patience.
In the end, it was Banami who gave in first. He sighed and reached out to take the cotton swab. Xiangzi, standing next to him, immediately added insult to injury: "See? He said no, but his body said yes."
"Why don't you do it?" Banami shoved the cotton swab into Xiangzi's hand. "Anyway, she's your 'love rival'."
Xiangzi was actually a little tempted. Just as she took the cotton swab, the white cat suddenly bristled, arched its back, hissed at her, and revealed its sharp claws—this was a cat that only allowed its "owner" to touch it, how could it let someone else take its place?
"That heartless little brat."
Xiangzi reluctantly returned the cotton swabs, watching the white cat instantly soften in Banami's arms, like a flat cat pancake, its tail wrapped around his wrist, and he felt a strange pang of sadness.
Is this considered an open and aboveboard way to be a wife? Bana sees this bastard!
Seeing that he had no interest in arguing with her, Banai focused all his attention on the white cat in his arms. When the white cat purred comfortably, he spoke again: "If you want Rakuna, if you understand, give me your left paw."
As soon as the words were spoken, the white cat raised its left paw, its pink paw pad still covered in dust.
"Look, look! She really wants Rakuna!" Banami excitedly grabbed the cat's paw and turned to shout at Shoko. The white cat seemed quite pleased with his reaction, sticking out its tongue and licking his fingers again, the wet touch carrying a hint of warmth.
After licking it, it jumped down from Banami's arms, its tail brushing against his knees, and began exploring the living room—the Toyokawa house was so big, and there were so many fun places to visit. One moment it pounced on the swaying curtains, the next it breathed on the goldfish in the fish tank, it was so much fun.
"No way, no way?" Xiangzi covered her mouth and laughed. "Mr. Banami, you don't really think a cat can understand human speech, do you?" Having followed Banami for a long time, her "sarcasm" skills have become superb.
"It can't be a coincidence!" Banai got up to chase after the white cat. "Hey, Banai, come back! Let's try again!"
He had only taken two steps when Xiangzi grabbed him. Xiangzi walked around to face him, hooked his arms around his neck, and said with a dangerous look in his eyes, "Ba Naijianxi, with all these tricks you're up to, I suspect you've been cheating on me outside and now you don't want to eat at home."
Banami's body froze instantly—he had indeed sneaked out to eat, and he was indeed full now, but he really wasn't lying about that! He was innocent!
In the bedroom, Xiangzi was standing in front of the wardrobe, slowly taking off her coat—underneath she was wearing a different kind of dress, the lace at the neckline gleaming softly under the light, paired with matching tight-fitting stockings, making her figure appear even more slender, directly striking Banami's weak spot.
Holy crap, how despicable Xiao Xiang is! Seeing his appearance rate dropping, he actually resorts to this kind of deliberate trick?!
"It seems I need to make you remember who your master is." Xiangzi's voice was slightly seductive, his eyes slightly upturned, and he beckoned to him with his finger.
Banami's rationality collapsed instantly. He forgot all about Rakuna's secret and the troublesome system. He strode over, picked Shoko up, and the bedroom lights gradually dimmed.
In the living room, the white cat squatted by the door, tilting its head to watch the commotion inside. Because they were a little caught up in the moment, the two forgot to close the door. Kaoru Nai, who saw the whole thing through the half-open door, was filled with confusion in her heterochromatic eyes.
Is this love?
Chapter Twelve: White Tiger Cat
Yoro was awakened by the tickling of her own tail—the fluffy tail tip, covered in fine down, brushed against her nose, while warm sunlight streamed in through the cracks in the window.
She groggily raised her paw to slap it away, but touched a smooth, pink cat paw pad, still warm from stepping on the blankets.
"Still not awake?" she muttered, trying to sit up, but the position of lying on all fours felt surprisingly natural. To make matters worse, when she tried to complain, a soft "meow~" came out, with a slightly sticky, just-woke-up tone at the end.
She froze, tilted her head, and licked her paws—this wasn't a dream; she was still in cat form.
At the same time, Banami's phone was vibrating wildly on the bedside table, like a grenade about to explode, and the two words "Lixi" on the screen seemed to be expeditled.
He had been kept up by Xiangzi until the wee hours of the morning last night, and had only managed to doze off for a few hours when he answered the phone and was immediately struck by a furious roar from the other end that made his eardrums throb: "Hanai-mi! Come to Rina-chan's dorm right now! Something terrible has happened!" Li Xi's voice was full of anxiety, and there were strange "ha-ha-ha" sounds in the background, like some kind of small animal protesting.
Seeing that he was instantly awake, his drowsiness vanished in a fright. He rushed downstairs barefoot without even putting on his slippers properly. Just then, he saw Xiao Nai coming upstairs. As if something had occurred to him, he grabbed the white cat.
When he drove to Yao Le Nai's dormitory, the door was ajar. As soon as Yao Le Nai opened the door, she was so shocked by the scene in front of her that she stopped in her tracks.
Kaoru was curled up on the old carpet in the corner. Her white Hanasaki River school uniform was wrinkled, and two of the buttons on the collar were fastened incorrectly, revealing a small patch of her fair neck.
Most startlingly, a pair of snow-white cat ears suddenly appeared from her white hair, their fur gleaming in the sunlight, and a fluffy tail swayed behind her, its tip taut with alertness.
Oh no, she really turned into a catgirl?
She bared her teeth at Li Xi, her small canine teeth peeking out, and made a threatening "ha-ha-" sound in her throat. Her eyes were full of wild vigilance, making her look like a small, bristling animal whose tail had been stepped on.
"You've finally arrived!" When Lixi saw Banaijian, he rushed over as if he had grasped a lifeline, and Lenai, the cat girl, instantly lost most of her bristling aura.
Lixi's long hair was a little messy, and she looked tired, which shouldn't be there in the morning. She had obviously been through a lot.
“I brought her breakfast this morning, and she was like this as soon as I walked in. She was huddled in the corner and wouldn’t let anyone touch her. When I tried to pull her up, she scratched me!”
She raised her left wrist, where there was a faint scratch mark, the red mark still fading, and her tone was full of grievance.
The fact that the strong-willed Lixi has been turned into this shows that Lena is indeed very difficult to deal with right now.
Even more bizarrely, the white cat in Banami's arms suddenly became agitated, struggling to jump down, its snow-white claws leaving several shallow marks on his shirt.
It arched its back towards "Yaorenai" in the corner, its back bulging high, and emitted a sharp and rapid "ha—" sound, its heterochromatic eyes filled with undisguised hostility.
Banana felt a jolt of fear in her heart, thinking, "Could it really be another soul swap?"
Moreover, this time it wasn't a soul swap between people, but between a person and Hakimi. Yao Lenai became the white cat Xiao Nai, and the white cat Xiao Nai possessed Yao Lenai's body.
Uh, the thoughtful system also comes with a catgirl mode.
"Do you still recognize me?" Banami, holding the white cat, slowly approached the corner of the wall, her steps extremely light, afraid of upsetting the other person.
Sure enough, when "Yaolenai" who was originally bristling at Lixi saw him, her tense body visibly paused, the threatening sound in her throat weakened, the tip of her tail was no longer taut, and she even tentatively moved in his direction, her cat ears slightly twitching, as if confirming his identity.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Banami squatted down, her voice even softer than usual, almost like she was coaxing a child.
"Yao Le Nai" opened her mouth, letting out an unconscious "meow" as if by reflex. Realizing something was wrong, she abruptly shut her mouth, her cheeks turning red and her eyes welling up with tears. After a long while, she managed to squeeze out a few indistinct words through her teeth: "Pee...pee..."
Banai understood instantly and quickly reached out to pick her up from the ground—her body was very light, and she huddled in his arms like a frightened little bird.
"Take her to the restroom, I'll wait outside." He was about to hand her over to Lixi when "Yao Le Nai" in his arms suddenly arched her back as if her tail had been stepped on, her cat ears standing straight up, the fur on her tail bristling, and even her claws sticking out, looking like she was ready to scratch anyone who dared to touch her.
In this unfamiliar body, only Banami can make her feel at ease; she is not allowed to touch anyone except her "master".
"It's...it's so uncomfortable..."
"Yao Le Nai" was on the verge of tears, her cat ears drooping and sticking to her hair, her voice trembling with grievance. Her language system was like rusty gears.
Clearly, the silly cat girl's thinking cannot support the human brain circuit.
But all that came out of her mouth were broken single words, and her body moved uncontrollably to snuggle into Hanami's arms, her cheek pressed tightly against his chest, drawing in the familiar warmth.
Li hope gritted her teeth in anger, glared at Banai, but could only stomp her foot and turn to wait outside.
In the bathroom, Banai gently placed the person in front of the toilet. Just as she was about to turn away, her clothes were grabbed tightly—"Yawana's" fingers were slender, but she gripped them with unusual force, and her knuckles turned white.
"No...no..." She blushed, not daring to look up at him. Her tail unconsciously wrapped around his wrist, the furry touch tickling him—the physiological instincts of this human body were still there, but the cat's soul had no idea how to use the toilet and could only instinctively rely on familiar people.
Left with no other choice, Banami could only turn his back, gently wrap his arm around her waist to steady her body, and put his other hand behind his back, trying not to touch any places he shouldn't.
He could clearly feel the person in his arms getting hot, their cat ears trembling like leaves in the autumn wind, even the hand gripping his clothes was trembling slightly, and their breathing became rapid.
As the sound of flowing water arose, he heard her let out a soft whimper, her head gently resting against his back, filled with complete dependence.
Lixi's ambiguous smile was just like her older sister's as she asked, "How was your first experience teaching a catgirl to use the toilet?"
Banami thought to herself, "What did I do to deserve this? Is this what I'm thinking?"
But the cat "Yaorenai" in his arms seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, snuggling comfortably against his chest, its tail gently brushing against his back—a natural and affectionate gesture.
That look was exactly the same as when Xiao Nai clung to him and acted cute, even the force with which she rubbed against him was exactly the same.
Banana couldn't help but recall the scene in the bathroom earlier. Although it wasn't intentional, her eyes must have caught something unintentionally. She thought to herself, "Rakuna truly lives up to her nickname 'White Tiger Cat'..."
At this moment, Banai saw the white cat at his feet start to struggle violently again, its claws pawing at his trouser leg, meowing at "Yawana" with dissatisfaction, its voice full of accusation.
"Yao Le Nai" (Xiao Nai's soul) finally reacted, looked down at the white cat throwing a tantrum in her arms, and suddenly revealed a smug expression - she now had a human body and could be held by her master with dignity.
She deliberately hugged Hanami's neck tighter, pressed her face closer, and even rubbed her chin against Hanami's chin in a provocative manner towards the white cat.
Tsk tsk tsk, this kitten food, how come it's already so tea-like after just turning into a human.
The next second, the white cat leaped from Hanami's lap onto his shoulder with lightning speed, pouncing precisely on "Kaname Rakuna's" shoulder and slapping her with its paw—
Although it didn't extend its claws, the force was considerable, causing "Yawana" to stumble and almost slip off Hanami's arms.
Not only that, but Lena's claws kept slapping the catgirl's face, even though it was her own face.
Even though her soul had been transferred to another body, Yao Le Nai's inherent domineering instincts still overwhelmed Xiao Nai. She breathed on "Yao Le Nai's" face, the breath carrying a hint of warmth, her eyes filled with the disdain of someone at the top of the food chain.
Xiao Nai's soul was clearly unable to support her human body. After being patted, she immediately meowed pitifully, tears welling up in her eyes, like a bullied kitten, even her steps were a little unsteady.
After all, she was originally just a five or six-month-old female kitten. Although she was already an adult in the cat world, she was no match for Lenai, a "wild cat," in terms of aura and intelligence.
Before Banami could speak to mediate, the white cat on her shoulder suddenly jumped down, nimbly leaping onto Banami's head from her back and gently pressing her head down with its paw.
"Yao Le Nai" (Xiao Nai's soul) was stepped on and made "woo woo" sounds, but dared not resist. She could only obediently lower her head, her cat ears drooping down, and she stuck out her butt and whimpered.
Banami found it hard to keep her composure at this absurd and funny scene, but she finally confirmed the fact that their souls had been swapped.
Chapter Thirteen Cat-Eared Maid
Kaoru's dormitory has finally returned to some peace.
Lixi slumped in a chair, gulping down half a bottle of mineral water, seemingly still processing the current situation.
Banami leaned against the window and immediately checked the system's notification. Sure enough, as the fact of their souls being swapped was confirmed, the system's notification changed.
