I, the little cat, am a substitute for others who are starving and thin

Yimi retracted her claws cautiously.

She didn't even know she had this ability.

"So I've already said we can't be sure, and don't ignore the dangers I just emphasized."

Mami's expression suddenly turned serious as she looked at Sayaka, her boyish schoolmate. "Fighting a witch isn't like in cartoons where you just convert her or knock her away. You could die."

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Sayaka stopped talking.

"So, can you really sign a contract with someone and become a magical girl?"

Tomoe asked, looking at Imi.

"Can I?"

The kitten was puzzled.

"What are you confused about?"

Sayaka rubbed her body.

"it should be OK?"

Their confidence made Yimi lack confidence. I don’t know why they all think she can do it, but since they all think she can do it, then she can do it, right?

A magical girl is also needed to complete the mission. It turns out that the difficulty of this mission is not just that Kyubey meat is unpalatable.

"What should it mean?"

"Really."

Tomoe Mami held her forehead. "If Kyubey was here, it would explain a lot. Where did he go so late at night?"

After saying that, he took another sip of the soup in the bowl.

"Although I feel it's safer here, since this child has chosen you, let it stay with you for the time being. Since you also said that the black-haired girl took the cat away in front of you during the day, she shouldn't abuse the cat in front of others."

Yimi raised her paw in a dilemma, but as a cat she couldn't hold her fingers in her mouth.

So who did she choose? The three aunts were completely lost in what they were talking about.

Tomoe Mami smoothed Yimi's fur and smiled: "You can always contact me if you have any problems. As long as I'm alive, I won't let my friends get hurt."

……

It’s so simple to arrange the cat’s whereabouts.

"What should I do? I don't know if my family will allow me to keep a cat."

"Well?"

Yimi followed Xiaoyuan's feet on her short legs, her head tilted in her distress.

When Xiaoyuan returned home, she opened the front door, but instead of going in immediately, she quietly peeked into the room and said, "I'm back."

"Ah, why are you back so late?"

The beautiful lady in the living room who is slightly drunk, this is Xiaoyuan’s mother.

After all, Yimi is not like Kyubey who is not observed by ordinary people, so whether he can be accepted by this family is a difficult point.

The difficulty is actually not on the mother's side. The main difficulty lies with the father. As a househusband, the father is the one who should take care of the family, because Xiaoyuan has a younger brother who has just reached kindergarten age, and he may not agree with this.

"I just went to a classmate's house. Um...Mom, can I discuss something with you first?"

Xiaoyuan turned her eyes away feeling a little guilty.

"Hmm? Of course."

Mom waved at her.

Xiaoyuan didn't go over, but opened the door completely: "That is, can I keep it?"

"Raise... 'it'?"

The mother scratched her face and looked at her daughter's staggered body: "No."

"So decisive!"

Xiaoyuan didn't understand. She thought the real difficulty was with her father.

The woman held her forehead in her hand speechlessly. "It's impossible not to be decisive, right? If you picked up a kitten or a puppy, it would be fine, but if you picked up a child and wanted to raise him, then what's the point..."

"Child?"

Xiaoyuan looked back in confusion.

Yimi, who had turned into a human, was seen standing in front of the trash can at the door of their house, jumping back and forth trying to step it out.

Instead of worrying about cats being cats, wouldn’t it be nice if cats could become humans?

Chapter 9 studies the contract.

Although she refused, the kind-hearted Kaname Shunko still prepared a room for the little girl who couldn't even tell where her home was.

However, because Madoka's father, Chihisa Kaname, went to bed early, he didn't notice there was an extra person in the house until the morning.

Yimi was fiddling with the stove, standing on tiptoe and staring intently at the work in Zhijiu's hands. It was just an ordinary nutritious breakfast of bread and eggs.

"Um... Xunzi, this child?"

Zhijiu looked at his wife and daughter who were brushing their teeth in confusion.

"He's a lost child from the neighborhood, and was found by Madoka. Um... could you please help with the lost and found process?"

"'I found it,' what a casual explanation."

Although he said that, Zhijiu still had an extra egg in his hand.

He held Yimi's head with his hands and turned her around: "Don't get too close, the oil will splash on your face."

"Oh."

Yimi walked away in small steps, staring down at Xiaoyuan's three-year-old brother. This was the first time she had seen someone smaller than herself, except for the little girl who had lent her the tricycle.

"Why is this happening?"

Xiaoyuan looked at Yimi somewhat at a loss.

Isn't she a mascot who signs a magical girl contract with others? According to the general setting in cartoons, she is usually either invisible to ordinary people or a petite puppet. She could have fooled people by turning into a kitten, so why did she turn into a human when she got to the doorstep?

"Oh, it's already this time, I have to go to work."

Xunzi took his breakfast and left.

"Be careful on the road."

"Then I have to go to school too."

Xiaoyuan looked back at Yimi every few steps.

Are you really not going to come with me?

But even if she turned into a kitten, she couldn't bring it into school casually, right?

In this way, Imi, who first broke into Homura Akemi's house and was later taken away by Madoka, was left at home. However, she was not alone, because Chihiro and three-year-old Tatsuya were also staying at home.

Zhijiu squatted down: "Then, can you tell me your name first?"

"Yimi."

"Hmm, it sounds like a foreign name. Where do you live?"

"another world."

"Um, so where did you get lost? Do you remember your parents' phone numbers?"

The kitten, unable to answer, stared at Zhijiu.

It's difficult to communicate.

Just as he was struggling, Zhijiu saw Yimi suddenly pointing at him and asked curiously: "Why don't you go to work?"

"I'm a little embarrassed to be asked this question suddenly by a kid. Uncle is a househusband."

Zhijiu turned his face away.

"Househusband?"

"It's the person who takes care of this family wholeheartedly."

Zhijiu grabbed his running little son and held him on his lap.

"Because Xunzi loves her job very much and enjoys the feeling of overcoming difficulties step by step, in order to ensure that Xiaoyuan and the others do not lack care and companionship, I quit my job to take care of the family."

This phenomenon is quite common in this place, but most of them are women who are full-time housewives, and there are very few cases like his.

Zhijiu raised his finger and said, "Don't underestimate a househusband. When Xiaoyuan was little, I had to take her to and from school every day. After that, I had to buy food and try to make different meals every day to relieve their stress from work and school. Then I had to do all the housework. There were many days when I didn't even have time to rest..."

"Can you cook?"

The young kitten only filtered out the information that was useful to her and looked at the other party expectantly.

"Of course, that's what you're eating."

Yimi humbly asked: "I have a dead body. It tastes terrible when cooked. It has a bad texture and a weird smell. How can I make it tasty?"

"Describing the ingredients as corpses is a bit bizarre, but you mean salmon? It doesn't taste good when cooked. If you want to cook it well, the heat control is very strict, so it's usually used for sashimi here."

"Sashimi?"

Yimi had never heard of this word.

"It's simply processed and eaten raw. I usually use mustard to overcome any flavor issues. However, this way of eating can easily lead to parasites, so for the sake of my family's health, I rarely use it."

"Mustard?"

Yimi nodded.

She had never heard of it, but she thought she might give it a try.

She turned and walked towards the door, ready to try to catch another Kyubey.

"Don't run around, I still have to take you to take a picture of a lost and found notice, wait!"

……

Finding Kyubey is not a difficult task, because Kyubey will easily come to you when Homura Akemi is not around.

Yimi stepped on the square bricks on the sidewalk, and walked with her hands stretched out like Rumia to maintain balance.

"You seem to have an obsession with cooking."

Kyubey really came over, but this time it learned its lesson and kept a distance of more than ten meters from Yimi.

Although Kyubey has a small body, its agility is such that it can even dodge Homura Akemi's bullet spray at medium distance. The reason it failed to dodge the attack of "The World" last time was that on the one hand, it could not think of that move, and on the other hand, the speed of "The World" was faster than bullets.

"Was that a manifestation of spiritual power last time? We've done this research before, but it didn't have the same effect."

The one who replaced her is the current witch.

Yimi didn't rush to catch it, but squatted down and asked: "How do you turn others into magical girls?"

"I've explained this before, haven't I? Sign a contract with me and become a magical girl. In return, I can grant you one wish. How about that? If it's you, any wish can be granted."

Kyubey stared at Yimi with his lifeless pink eyes.

This child, and the child named Kaname Madoka, are both girls with inexplicably high and frightening talents. If one of them signs a contract, it will bring benefits to the universe far beyond imagination.

"What are the specific steps?"

This is what Yimi cares about.

She also lacked magical girls, and the blue-haired girl from yesterday had inexplicable expectations for her.

"So you're asking about someone's skills right away? That's definitely not allowed... That was a close call."

Kyubey leaped, avoiding the grasp of the World, and said as he ran: "If you can sign a contract with me, I can obtain all the recipes in the universe, or taste the most delicious food I have never tasted before."

Sign a contract with Kyubey.

The answer lies in Kyubey.

After Kyubey dodged the attack of [World] with a jump, its body suddenly collided with another stand of Yimi, and this time it could no longer escape.
