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

Natsuki Subaru looked dead in the eyes: "When did you hide here?"

Meili's eyes flickered for a moment: "This kind of thing has nothing to do with you, big brother? Ah, why do you care about Meili so much, big brother? Could it be that big brother actually has a strange batch number? Is this why you locked Meili up? She's going to be defiled..."

"I was smeared for no reason! It's so obvious how guilty I am!"

Natsuki Subaru looked back at Yimi who was squatting in front of Xiaobai and studying the handmade tank.

He chuckled as if he understood something and patted Meili's head: "Forget it, big brother will leave some private time for you kids."

"?"

After Natsuki Subaru left, Meili didn't go out either. Instead, she leaned over and took a look at the kitten playing alone.

Because he had nothing to do, Otto told Mary some stories. Based on the stories he told, Mary thought of a good way to take revenge.

For example, pretend to be kind and tell Yimi to help record her growth, then take Yimi to a sapling that has not grown well and draw a line at her height.

Then, after waiting for another year or so for the sapling to grow, he would take her to the tree and measure her height: "Huh? Sister Yimi, how come you haven't grown at all in this year? Instead, you've become shorter?"

But when she was about to do so, she saw Beatrice hugging Yimi and bursting into tears. She could faintly hear words like "leave this world", but she couldn't hear clearly because the distance was too far.

Speaking of which, I always seem to see that big elf caring about the little brat's health along the way. Is she going to die of some disease?

That's good too. The person who killed Elsa was also the one who saved her from her 'mother'. She couldn't bring herself to do it, so leaving it to the disease might be the best outcome for her?

Is this good enough?

Meili peeked out from behind the tree again, but Yimi and Xiaobai were no longer there.

She hurried out to look for Yimi, but could not find the kitten.

……

"Damn it!"

Garfiel angrily waved his claws at the environment in front of him, but could only see his hands penetrate through it.

The first trial was to face his past. He had come here to destroy everything, but somehow he also restarted the trial.

It was 'again', because he had been here before when he was just a child, and witnessed the scene where his mother abandoned him and his sister and left alone when he was still a baby. As a pure-blooded human mother, she could leave the Sanctuary freely.

He was just a child at the time and couldn't accept it, so he hit his forehead in a self-harming way and got a scar.

However, what they couldn't accept was not the scene of their mother abandoning them. On the contrary, their mother loved them very much and left them, not to abandon them, but to find their father who had left them. However, just as she left the sanctuary, the unfortunate woman encountered a mountain torrent and was buried.

This is what he saw during the Sanctuary Trial.

That's why he couldn't accept it, and what made it even harder for him to accept was that he still remembered his mother's love for him. Compared to being abandoned by a cold and heartless woman, the sudden tragedy of his beloved mother was obviously a much stronger blow, so he wanted to destroy the trial to escape it all.

However, after the trial ground was destroyed, he lost his sense of distance and unknowingly walked into the trial ritual.

The illusion of the 'past' was blurry and unclear. It was hit head-on by a burst of Imi's magic power. The magic power of both sides was not originally from the same source, so it was normal for a malfunction to occur.

It was clearly something he wanted to avoid, but it was played out again in front of him.

Garfiel watched in agony as his mother was buried by the flash flood.

But this time the scene did not stop, it continued until an uncle who looked like a good man came over and dug his mother out.

"Are you okay? What's your name?"

"name?"

The woman's mind is not very clear.

Because she lost her memory, she had not returned to the Sanctuary for so long, and therefore forgot that she had two children waiting for her.

Garfiel watched all this in a daze.

"Mother... is she still alive?"

-

In front of Kuerxiu's house.

"Isn't it here too?"

Reinhard sighed. He had just come from Roswaal's mansion, and the situation there was terrible.

"Subaru, who was staying here, ran away two days ago. She's not here anymore, but that child is a distinguished guest of Master Crusch-sama, nya. What do you want with her?"

Felix asked curiously.

"I just wanted to see her, that's all, but nothing should have happened."

Reinhard's purpose was indeed as simple as he said. He wanted to meet the child who could unsheathe the dragon sword.

Felix took a step back. "Then we should be on our guard. You're acting like you're planning an alliance."

"It's really just a private matter."

Reinhardt turned around. “However, Felt-sama and Emilia-sama do have a good personal relationship. Perhaps this possibility will arise in the future. Consider this insignificant information as compensation for disturbing you this night.”

"Really..."

"Reinhard."

Just as Reinhard was about to leave, Wilhelm called out to him.

Reinhard stopped in surprise, looking at his closest relative, with whom he had not spoken properly for more than ten years.

"Would you like to come in and have some tea first?"

"..."

Reinhardt was a little confused by the sudden change in attitude, but he had never tied himself down to trivial matters.

"Sorry to bother you, Grandpa."

Chapter 1: Madoka: Buho!

Still left.

The previous world was the world in which Yimi had the most leisure. She solved the trouble of being chased by Diego, and discovered Natsuki Subaru, the item-brushing machine. There was only one task left before she returned home, but Yimi was not in such a happy mood.

In every world I've been through, except for the first one, I've had to say goodbye to someone, but this is the first time I've felt like "you're all I have left" like Beatrice.

The cat was just leaving as usual, but I felt guilty as if I had done something bad.

"Host, according to statistics from all worlds, 66.6% of travelers choose to settle in the most beautiful scenery along the way. The system does not object to this behavior."

"Well……"

Yimi looked up at the new world, but what she saw were familiar cities and streets.

"what happened?"

A familiar voice brought Yimi back to reality. Xunzi bent down and gently hugged Yimi, patting her head: "Did anyone bully you?"

When Yimi is in a bad mood, her ears will droop left and right, which is easy to see. At this time, you should touch her head to comfort her.

"No."

Yimi shook her head and rubbed her head against Xunzi's chin.

It doesn't matter which world it is.

"I want to take Zhijiu's plants."

Yimi was still very worried.

Maomao had no idea what the oath was, what if Diego was actually lying to her and was actually sneaking up on her?

"I don't think Zhijiu would mind this, but can you at least call me uncle?"

Xunzi pinched her little hand.

Yimi shook her head.

There are so many uncles in the world, it would be so difficult to distinguish them if you call them all uncle.

She looked up and asked, "How long have I been gone?"

"How long? Let me see."

Xunzi glanced at his watch: "About 16 hours, right?"

"16 hours?"

Yimi looked down at her fingers.

There were not many lessons about time in the first grade, and she had only been in the first grade for a month.

"Even if it's just one day, the teacher called this morning to ask why you weren't in school. The paperwork hasn't even been completed yet. Are you going to class tomorrow?"

"Tomohisa went to pick up Tatsuya from kindergarten, and Madoka will probably be back late too."

Xunzi pulled a chair and sat down, then held Yimi on her lap and said, "You look very troubled. If you have anything bothering you, you can tell your auntie."

Compared to when Xiaoyuan was a child, this child's feelings are even more difficult to hide.

Although their radio signals are always mismatched, for example, Xunzi cannot understand why Yimi is worried about the destruction of the universe at such a young age.

She was very sensitive and could sense something unusual between her daughter and the newly adopted child after such a long time.

"It's like, go to a world, make friends, then leave, and Betty is reluctant to leave. The time in each world is different, but Betty only has Cat, and Cat can't take Betty with her..."

Yimi gestured with her little hands, as if people could understand her if she spoke that way.

"You really still need to learn how to organize your words."

Xunzi helplessly touched Yimi's hair, which had obviously grown a little longer than the last time they met, and tried to understand with his adult thinking.

"It seems this auntie can't help you."

"Well?"

Yimi sat down facing Xunzi, stepping on the milk with her little paws to maintain her inner peace.

"As parents, we have to face the fact that our children will eventually leave our wings. Just like now, Madoka's dating with girls has become a regular thing. She doesn't even say hello in advance when she comes home late. In the past, Chiku would have been worried if she didn't come home after 4 o'clock."

"After she finishes her studies, starts working, or even gets married, we might not see each other for months. We have no idea what kind of injustices Madoka has endured or what achievements she has made. If we meet again, she will definitely have changed a lot, which will inevitably make her parents sad."

"But it may be too early for you to say this."

Xunzi stroked her hair. "It's the same principle. Even if time is different for us, seeing Yimi suddenly grow up would still make me feel a sense of loss, as if I've missed out on so much of you."

"So if you make an appointment with someone to meet again, even if the time is different, you must not keep them waiting too long."

She stretched out her pinky finger and said, "Come, I'll teach you a way to make an agreement. It's called a hook. Hook your pinky finger around Auntie's finger."

"Well."

Yimi did as he was told doubtfully.

"Let's make a promise that Yimi must be a good child from now on. If you break the promise, you'll have to swallow a thousand needles."

"A thousand needles!"

Yimi quickly withdrew her hand and moved away from Xunzi's leg.

"Did you get scared? I'm just exaggerating. This is a common convention."

Xunzi smiled and patted her head:

"Just like you learned to make a pinky promise here, you can share it with your friends tomorrow. But if Yimi hasn't seen her friends for a long time, and she learns more and more things, to the point where she knows more than her friends know about you, then won't you be strangers when you meet next time?"

"Even for her friends, Yimi comes back so suddenly, becoming very outgoing and then very introverted. Of course, for me, as an aunt, I just want Yimi to be a happy and good child."

"But when Yimi grows up, she'll understand that you're often too busy to take care of everything. That's why Auntie said this point can't help you."

"Well."

Yimi crossed his arms and frowned as he thought like an adult.

"I'm back. The kindergarten asked parents to help with crafts today. Tatsuya was praised by the teacher."

Zhijiu happened to come home at this time and was a little surprised: "Yimi is back so soon? Did you bring any gifts for uncle and auntie?"

"Have!"

-

"so beautiful."
