About the time I was picked up and adopted by Tallulah

Orson quickened his pace, and so did Rosemary.

"Uh……"

"stare--"

Orson turned, and Rosemary followed suit.

"Um, Rosemary—wooooo!"

"Orson!"

Orson stopped and wanted to ask Rosemary what was going on with her, but as soon as he stopped, Rosemary's soft body pounced on him.

"I always feel like... Orson is so cute today! Although the usual Orson is cute too... but, but today's Orson is even more delicious!"

Rosemary rushed over from behind, put her arms around Orson's neck and said so.

"What the hell is delicious? Anyway, I have some catnip solution on me now, Rosemary, you need to calm down before... Ugh!?"

Orson wanted Rosemary to calm down and not be affected by the catnip, but the kitten had already put its nose against Orson's cheek, rubbing it against his skin, and then licked him gently with its tongue.

"If possible... I also want to be alone with Orson for the whole day..."

I don’t know if it’s because Rosemary licked Orson actively, the effect of catnip became more obvious. At this time, the kitten’s face was a little flushed, and the words that had been hidden in his stomach for various reasons slowly came out.

"I heard from Sister Shuangxing... that if you 'lock the door' in a room with someone you like, your relationship will improve. Orsen, Orsen! Let's lock the door too~?"

Rosemary's pink tongue licked Orson's cheek all the way to his earlobe, and in order to prevent Rosemary from getting hurt, Orson had to maintain this posture, and then his whole body was covered with goose bumps because of this wonderful touch.

——Shuangxing, you have taught the little cat bad things!

Orson complained loudly in his heart, thinking that Rosemary's words at this moment must have been influenced by the lecherous rabbit!

"Orson... Orson—"

Rosemary slid harder and harder, feeling a little dizzy. She lay on Orson's back like a pile of mud, but this made her and Orson even more inseparable.

"Woohoo, what are you doing?"

Just when Orson didn't know what to do, the voice of another operator came from not far away.

"Great! Come and help me, Huang-ah."

For a moment, Orson thought he had found a life-saving straw, and he instinctively called out the name of the operator who appeared in front of him.

Of course, the moment he shouted it out, Orson realized that things were not going well.

"I just came back from a mission and saw you and Rosemary clinging to each other. It's not nice to be so intimate in the corridor, right, Orson? Compared to that, I brought you some local specialties~"

"No, don't come here!"

Huang Maomao shook his hair and walked towards Orson, while Orson, who was stuck by rosemary, quickly signaled to Huang Maomao, "Don't come over!"

"Why are you so nervous? There's no bomb buried in the corridor... huh?"

Huang Maomao obviously didn't realize Rosemary's strange condition, nor did she care about Orson's words. She just went over and, as expected, was also affected by catnip.

"Strange... Orson, I feel like you're quite charming today, eh?"

Huang rubbed his eyes and said while looking at Orson.

"It's over—listen to me first, Huang! I'm poofing now...!"

Orson still wanted to try to control Huang, but the impulsive and reckless big cat had been attracted by the catnip, and buried Orson's head in his strong chest muscles from the front.

"Ah——Sister Huang, you can't fight over my Orsen...!"

Seeing this, Rosemary asserted her sovereignty somewhat unhappily.

"Hehe, then let's see if you can completely imbue Orson with your aura."

The little cat and the big cat immediately started to confront each other, and Orson, who was wrapped up and licked by the two cats, felt like a saury being fought over.

"Since that's the case, then I'll...!"

Rosemary, stimulated by Huang Maomao, became more and more frightened, and Huang, who was fanning the flames, became more proactive and active. The two were no longer satisfied with licking Orson with their tongues, and instead began to look for ways to "imprint their own scent" more deeply.

Orson originally thought that things couldn't get any worse, but when the reserve team operator Melantha took the newly hired rich cat-head Jessica to visit Rhodes Island and ran into the three people, Orson finally realized that there is no limit to human bad luck.

"Wow!? W-What are you doing?"

When Jessica the Crying Cat saw this picture, she made another comment.

"Is this an attack...? No, wait, is it Miss Rosemary and Miss Huang? What are you...doing?"

Melanza was so frightened by the scene before her that she drew her sword immediately. Later, she realized that it was not a zombie virus outbreak in front of her, but two elite operators of Rhodes Island holding Rhodes Island's honorary leader Orson and chewing him.

"Silly children, run—"

Orson's screams did not reach the ears of the two men, and there were not many parts left for Orson to lick.

--------

By the time Amiya and her team rescued Orson from Film Hell, the chimera was covered in cat fur of all colors, and his skin and even his clothes were stained with a clear liquid (referring to saliva). The cats around him were all excited, asking for Orson to be sucked for a while longer, just one bite!

After this incident, for a long time, Rioson would subconsciously hide when he saw Cat Ears. Even if Rosemary Huang and others apologized sincerely and desperately, it had little effect.

Krosier became an alumnus of Warfarin Bridge University, and 'catnip' was classified as a prohibited substance by Rhodes Island.

When the security department was counting the goods, they found that a bottle of catnip solution was missing, but they couldn't find it no matter what, so the matter was eventually left unresolved.

And that last bottle of solution—

“…What on earth am I doing?”

In Kal'tsit's office, the green cat that had lived for a hundred years frowned. She stared motionlessly at the catnip solution that she had secretly brought in front of her, her expression appearing very hesitant and confused.

She could have legally obtained the solution by simply sending a document, but for some reason, Kal'tsit chose to steal it secretly.

"... Anyway, let's keep it for now."

Finally, Kal'tsit sighed and put the potion into her drawer.

06. The long-lost Bear Group

Chernobyl——

This mobile city-state, located in the south of Ursus and close to Longmen, was the site of a war more than ten months ago.

In order to compete for the ownership of the city, the old nobles attacked the new nobles. The old nobles led by them even secretly deployed the Third Army without the emperor's knowledge.

The scope of this war far exceeded the residents' original expectations. Faced with the battle array of the regular army, everyone thought that the new noble forces would be completely wiped out. However, the heir of the Rostov family stood up -

Natalia (Zaolu), a girl who was originally still attending school with her peers, bravely stepped forward. She united the noble forces within the city of Che, and with the help of the security company "Integration Movement", she took the lead in the front line of the defense battle.

Under the leadership of Natalia, the conspiracy of the old nobles was completely thwarted, and the city of Che was reborn. Today, the city of Che not only has a self-sufficient energy system and trade logistics that does not exclude anyone (including the infected), but also has an angelic new idol, Angel Ino. This city-state has experienced destruction, but under the leadership of Miss Natalia, we will face the rising sun and move forward firmly towards a new life.

"——The above is the process of our Qicheng's transformation."

In a corner of the clean and tidy street, a man selling souvenirs was talking incessantly about the past experiences of the city of Che, while holding an exquisitely crafted siege spear pendant in his hand.

Opposite the man was a young boy who was listening with great interest, and a white-haired Ursus girl who was covering her red face and looked like she wanted to stop him but didn't know how to start.

"Sure enough, from an outsider's perspective, Natalia, you really did something very cool!"

"Ah—no, no, stop talking, Orson...!"

After listening to the battle history of the Lord of Qie City, Orson applauded and expressed his admiration without any concealment.

The person involved, Zaolu, was so panicked that she wanted to cover Orson's mouth. Her expression of panic, shyness and a little happiness could not be associated with the "Lord Natalia" in the story. Instead, she looked like an ordinary girl in love.

"But speaking of it... the changes in Qicheng are not too many, but not too few either."

"Hmm...it's okay. We are a city-state of Ursus after all. Lyudmila and I have vetoed any radical and reckless changes. For now, Che City must focus on gradual stabilization and development."

Orson said as he looked at the familiar yet not so familiar scenery around Che City, while Zaolu beside him patiently explained the various changes currently taking place in Che City.

Because the little rabbit Amiya forced Orson to take a period of paid leave, he had nothing to do. Just after receiving Zaolu's invitation, he returned to Che City after a long absence.

"It seems like there wasn't a building over there before. Was it built in the past six months?"

"Well, that's the new convention center over there. More and more people from the surrounding cities are coming to Eno's concerts, and the original theater can no longer accommodate them."

"Ah...haha, that's pretty impressive, as expected of Ino."

Orson nodded somewhat stiffly in response.

Ino, who was originally a bit self-contained and never opened his mouth even though he loved singing, is now able to step out from Sasha's protection and pursue his dreams on his own. He has come this far as an "infected idol singer". Of course, Orson is extremely moved and relieved to see that.

But at the same time, this also means that the area of the person being hunted by the bounty is likely to become even larger...

"Haha, I'll ask the security team to keep you safe, Orson."

Zaolu also knew the reason why Orsen was entangled. She smiled and said that as long as she was in Qie City, she would protect Orsen.

"Thank you so much... Natalia, you're becoming more and more like a qualified leader."

Orson smiled and praised, saying that when he was heading to Casimir from Rhodes Island, Zao Lu still looked a little immature, but after going through the hardships of this period, Zao Lu has now become a great leader.

"Orson doesn't seem to have changed at all."

"Uh uh... my growth cycle is just slower!"

Although Zaolu was not being sarcastic, Orson, who felt hurt, immediately retorted that he was just not tall enough yet.

"Haha, maybe the Chimera race is really like this."

"This actually has a basis, let me tell you..."

Zaolu responded with a hardcore Orson smile, while looking at Orson's profile which showed a distressed expression.

——I always feel that Orson looks more...should I say more manly than before?

Although Orson himself is still small and looks harmless, Zaolu, who has dealt with countless people during this period, can still feel the changes that have taken place in this young man.

That slightly childish face clearly showed more responsibility and a sense of duty, and perhaps even Orson himself didn't notice that his words and actions had become much more "calm" than before.

It's normal to think about it. He resolved the disagreements over the actions of the knights within Casimir, became an honorary knight, and stood against the relatives of the Yan Kingdom king in Longmen - such a person would naturally become much more mature and stable.

Zaolu patted her cheeks. The boy next to her was becoming more and more outstanding. She must also work hard to become someone who could accompany him without being a drag.

"——In summary, I think Chimera is indeed a species that requires a long time to grow!"

"Hmm? Sorry, Orson. I was thinking about something just now, so I didn't hear what you said clearly."

Orson seemed to be talking about the reason why he didn't grow taller for a long time, but because Zaolu was thinking about other things, she missed it perfectly.

"hateful……!!"

His hard-earned arguments were so casually ignored that Orson became withdrawn.

"Hehe, sorry."

——Although he has become more stable and elegant than before, his cute side has not changed at all... I wish Orson could stay this short forever.

——It's decided! From now on, I'll go find the Dragon Balls and increase my height by 30 centimeters!!

Although the two of them were holding hands at the moment, their thoughts were completely opposite.

Because Amiya and even Kal'tsit had specifically told him, "You're taking a break! You should act like you're on vacation!", Orson had come to Che City purely to hang out.

After experiencing the changes in Che City with Zaolu on the streets, Orson and Zaolu returned to the Rostov family mansion.

As the two of them entered the house, Zaolu's businessman father happened to be there. When he saw Orson, he immediately stood up and waved to greet him.

"Long time no see, Ollie——"

"It's Orson. Seriously... It feels like it's been ages since I was called by the wrong name."

Orson interrupted Zaozi's father by mistakenly calling him "Biscuit" or something else, and at the same time wondered if the last time he was called by the wrong name was not long after he met Rosemary.

"That's right, Orson. So, Orson, when are you going to marry Natasha—Puff!!"

"Don't say such outrageous things as soon as we meet, Dad!"

Zaozi's father started by asking Orson and Zaolu when they would enter the bridal chamber. Of course, Zaolu seemed to be well prepared. Before her father could finish his words, the power of the bear had already come over, and he directly launched a series of fatherly and friendly punches.

"Don't pay attention to what that idiot said... Um, Orson, I know your situation very well. Although I may not be suitable for it right now... well, I may not be suitable for it yet, but I will definitely work hard on my side!"

After embedding her father into the gap between the floor tiles, Zaolu wiped the blood off her palms and spoke to Orson shyly.

"Uh... well, I get it. Let's work hard together, then?"

Orson glanced at Zaozi's father, who was stuck to the floor, and after confirming that he could be rescued, he turned his attention back to Zaolu and nodded to indicate that he understood.

——I must become a girl worthy of Orson...!
