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

Today she went out wearing the autumn clothes from Reimu's wardrobe. Compared to the little skirt Marisa gave her before, the autumn skirt made Imi feel very uncomfortable. The long skirt would be disturbed from time to time when she walked in the grass. Obviously, Marisa did not take into account the fact that Imi could not fly.

"This is for you, not for Orange."

Yimi shook her calves that couldn't reach the ground twice and handed the kumquat meat to Youxiang.

"It has a rather unpleasant smell. Never mind. I can just save it and use it as fertilizer for the flowers."

She rubbed Yimi's head.

Because the magic forest is so big, and Yimi's way finding depends entirely on luck, she ran to the flower field before finding Marisa's house. She originally wanted to come to Youxiang's house to find the green bug, but she didn't expect that the green bug didn't live in Youxiang's house.

I was worried that the green worm would be accidentally eaten by Misqi one day.

"What do you usually do at home?"

Yimi stepped on a stool and leaned on the table to look at the flower pots on it. "Can you plant plants and drive away Diego's plants?"

Youxiang gently carried her down and said, "Girls shouldn't crawl on the table."

"Congratulations to the host for unlocking the achievement [Feudalism is Unacceptable], and reward 5% of portal energy."

"Meow?"

It was another word Yimi couldn't understand, but she pointed at Youxiang and said, "Feudal Youxiang."

"..."

Youxiang pinched her lightly.

Marisa's house is so hidden that Yimi couldn't find it after searching for two days. Has she returned to her hometown?

After leaving Youxiang's house, Yimi walked towards the magic forest again, but saw that the stone where Cheng had been lying yesterday appeared in front of the flower field for some reason.

Yimi kicked him.

"Woo..."

The kitten squatted down, covered its toes, and quickly started the train of love.

"It doesn't hurt at all."

She shook her tail twice to relieve the momentary palpitations, and found that the frequency of the tail shaking today was not very consistent with her, so she couldn't help but slap the other party twice to let him know who was the boss.

"Little girl, don't attack other people's inventions casually!"

A girl with blue hair and twin ponytails and wearing a green hat suddenly emerged from the bushes and looked at Yimi angrily.

"invention?"

Yimi looked at this stranger in confusion, then glanced at the huge rock that was taller than her, pointing at her in shock.

"You invented all the stones!"

"It's such an incomprehensible association, but this piece was indeed invented by me, and it's not made of stone either."

Kawajo Hetori took out a remote control that was very inconsistent with the style of Gensokyo and pressed it. Then the stone next to Yimi suddenly deformed and folded, revealing the mechanical parts inside, and finally turned into a small cart almost as small as Yimi.

"A reporter who wishes to remain anonymous said that it was difficult to uncover news stories about certain people, so she paid me to make this easily disguised camera. I had no idea she'd installed it in such a dangerous place. If she'd been discovered, I'd have been pissed off."

At first, I wanted to make it into a more inconspicuous little stone appearance, but after it was made, the ice fairy kicked it away and hit Ligeru in the face. I didn't expect that now that it is so big, it will still be kicked by others.

Hetori grabbed the cart and walked back.

Yimi trotted after her, staring at her stroller intently.

"Do, do what?"

"It won't go away on its own?"

"Of course not. Don't look at its appearance. When it's placed there, the texture and weight are similar to those of ordinary stone. If you add other functions, wouldn't it feel wrong when you knock it?"

Hetori waved his hand to drive them away.

"Go away, I'm very busy."

Yimi was very disdainful and took Xiaobai out. She held its leash and wanted to deliberately show off her pet in front of Hequ, but found that the sweeping robot could not move at all on the grass.

"What the hell is this?"

It did successfully attract Hedao's attention. She put down the cart in her hand, picked up Xiaobai curiously and observed the chassis.

"Its name is Xiaobai."

"Um……"

Hequ took out a screwdriver from his large backpack and quickly disassembled the chassis of the sweeping robot.

"noob!"

Yimi took out the blood-stained spear in shock and anger.

"Calm down, this is obviously a machine."

Sensing danger, Hequ quickly put Xiaobai back and returned him to her.

"If you really like this thing, please be nice to me. If it breaks down in the future, I might be the only one in Gensokyo who can fix it."

"Are you a doctor?"

Yimi touched Xiaobai and found that it was still very energetic and the wheels were still moving.

"Doctor? For a machine, it's pretty much the same. You see, when you put it down just now, its wheels got stuck in the grass. I can't clean it out unless I take it apart."

Although her purpose in taking it apart was actually to see the specific structure of this thing.

He Cheng He Qu's eyes wandered for a moment. "Anyway, this time it's free for you. If you have any business in the future, you can come to me. I usually work with your mother."

"Are you working with your mother?"

Yimi looked at her in shock.

"Well, kind of. I occasionally go to help out when Hakurei Shrine holds an event, and Reimu allows me to set up a stall there."

Otherwise, if she had encountered a strange monster alone, she would have run away long ago.

The kitten's expectation was dashed, but he still handed her a Kewpie: "This is for you. If Xiaobai gets sick in the future, I'll ask you to see him."

"You might as well give me a cucumber."

He Qu took it with disdain, and fiddled with it in confusion: "What's the matter with this creature that looks like it was artificially created?"

"It's Kyubey, it's not very tasty."

"Huh, you actually measure the value of this creature by its taste. Kids are just kids... The pattern on its back seems to hold some secret. If only I could pry it open. Could it be a magical artifact? Magical items aren't worth studying. But if it's truly relevant, it might be worth selling to a wealthy magician..."

She walked out with Kyubey, mumbling to herself.

A weird girl, because of her strange dress, her nickname was "green hat".

The kitten shook its head twice and stuffed the recovered Xiaobai back into the storage space.

Hurry to go see Marisa, and after seeing her, she will leave this world. It's all Orange's fault. The kitten rarely comes back and leaves the kitten with unpleasant memories.

Chapter 5: Unconscious.

"I'm borrowing it!"

"You bastard black and white mouse, if you have the guts, let your wife support you!"

"That rumor should have been outdated long ago, right? You can just wait until I'm dead and take it back!"

Marisa muttered to herself as she flew out of the Scarlet Devil Mansion carrying a large bag.

From the perspective of outsiders, she seems to be taking risks all day long, but in fact, she is also working hard to learn the magic she loves, although she doesn't work 200 times harder than an ordinary person.

A large part of her knowledge came from the magic books collected by other magicians in Gensokyo. Of course, Patch was definitely reluctant for her to borrow them, and she had no intention of asking for Patch's consent.

"Ok?"

Flying back to the Magic Forest, Marisa stared at a tree in front of the door. A cat's tail was sticking out from behind the tree and swaying back and forth. Judging from the color, it was definitely not the one from Yakumo Yukari's house.

As if noticing her gaze, it stretched out a small paw from behind the tree, grabbed its tail and hid, then stretched out an ear to listen to her movements.

Marisa scratched her cheek and stood there staring at the ear for a while. She had been looking for the owner of this ear for the past few days, but she didn't expect it to appear in front of her in this form.

Perhaps it was because Marisa paused for too long and didn't come over, which made the cat confused. Yimi cautiously peeked at her.

Marisa averted her gaze and didn't meet hers, and Yimi shrank back again.

"Ah, I'm walking home alone and defenseless."

Marisa read this and walked in that direction.

"ah!"

Yimi suddenly jumped out!

"Oh, you scared me!"

Marisa quickly took a step back and patted her chest to try to calm her fear.

"Well."

Yimi patted her with satisfaction and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Marisa's home was not as remote as she had imagined. Although she had not spent much time with Marisa in cat form, Imi, who was often held by Marisa in human form, had somewhat remembered her scent.

"Oh, it's you. I thought it was a tiger that jumped out of nowhere."

Marisa patted her head.

She's wearing her autumn clothes nicely, and it looks like she's already said hello to Reimu.

"what is this?"

Yimi pointed curiously at the big bag she was carrying.

Marisa turned her eyes away and said, "This is my treasure bag. I heard there's a Santa Claus in the outside world. This year it's my turn to be Santa Claus."

"Santa Claus?"

"It's the person who wears blood-red clothes in the winter and sneaks into your house down your chimney in the middle of the night."

"!"

Yimi carefully took a step away from Marisa with her hands in her pockets.

"It's not what you think! It's about giving gifts. There seems to be a tradition in the outside world that there's a holiday called Christmas in winter, and a guy called Santa Claus will give gifts to good children."

"What will he give, a gift?"

Yimi wagged his tail.

"Don't underestimate Santa Claus. He only gives gifts to good children."

Marisa closed one eye and teased her deliberately: "But didn't a certain naughty kitten just scare you..."

"I am a good kid."

The kitten quickly raised his hand and gave an example: "I never steal anything!"

Yimi always exchanges what she wants with others.

"..."

Marisa looked down at her 'treasure bag' and felt a pang of shame at the kitten's innocent gaze.

She began to think seriously: maybe it would be better to steal less in the future? For example, she could trade Patch's stolen and finished books for new ones. Bartering would surely be more acceptable...

"this is for you."

Yimi handed the last of the Kyubey meat to Marisa.

"What is this thing that looks like an artificial embryo?"

Marisa pinched Kyubey's ear with one hand, but couldn't throw it away because it was given by Yimi.

Yimi hugged her shoulders unhappily and said, "There are only a few."

She had already calculated that she would give one each to Reimu, Marisa, and Orange, who were her closest friends in Gensokyo. It was impossible for her to have an extra one for Heto.

"But because Orange bullied me, that's why it happened."

"..."
