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

"That's what you can use. Look, it says I can attack twice, which means I can throw twice... Oh, are you a man? Haven't you even played a throwing card before?"

Yimi pointed at herself in confusion: "I'm a girl."

"Ah? You're a girl?" The boy observed Yimi's face carefully, and his voice instantly became much softer: "Then why are you wearing a baseball cap and not a skirt...Do you want me to lend you two?"

"Congratulations to the host for unlocking the achievement [Tomboy], and be rewarded with 5% portal energy."

"No need, just play." Yimi picked up two cards from the one that the man with the short hair didn't want.

It’s not a very pretty card, but Cat recognizes most of the words on it.

"Then I'll let you fall first." The long-haired boy found a relatively flat place and rubbed it repeatedly to try to clean the dust off.

Yimi looked down at the effect of her card: You can bypass the monsters in the front row and attack the main body.

"..."

Yimi raised her white and tender little fist.

……

……

It's the third day now, and the captain still hasn't announced her reinstatement. Perhaps she's been sidelined. Usually, I'm in the AST training room at this time, but suddenly having so much free time feels a bit empty.

There is a child crying, it's so noisy.

Origami was passing by this road after school and took a look over here. He saw a few childish little boys fighting.

"Congratulations to the host for unlocking the achievement [You don't need to attack the taunting minion first], rewarding 5% portal energy."

After going back and forth, I got another 10 energy. I didn't do anything when I first came to this world, and only 5% was left before I could directly cross to the next world.

The boy who was beaten cried while sobbing and swearing: "You...just wait for me...I'm going to go back and tell my mom!"

The guy with a crew cut tried to dissuade her: "Zhenjun, don't tell Auntie. It's embarrassing to be beaten to tears by a girl..."

Zhenjun cried even harder.

Yimi looked down at his hands and recalled the achievements he had obtained from Diego. The system said that there would be subsequent troubles if he didn't finish off the opponent.

The little hand is clenched into a fist.

"Ah! She's catching up, run!"

"Okay, what are you doing?" Shizhi, who had been peeking at the side for some time, held Yimi under her arms and lifted her up, leaving her legs flapping in the air with nowhere to gain support.

"Meow?" Seeing that it was Shizhi, Yimi shrank her neck in fear.

This lingering sealed monster is still there!

"Shiori." Origami, who was just watching the show, came over and greeted him.

"Origami? Why are you here... Oh yes, you live here." Shizhi gently put Yimi down so that her feet could touch the ground.

Compared to elves like Tohka, this child's strength is surprisingly small even if he is not sealed. I don't know where all the food he eats goes.

"Who is he, Shiori's son?" Origami bent down and tapped Yimi's forehead.

Thinking of what Origami had said to him privately before, Shizhi couldn't help but feel nervous: "Don't make such jokes, she... uh, she's my relative's child, her name is Takamiya Yimi, she's a girl!"

Shizhi covered Yimi's mouth to stop her from talking.

"Takamiya..." Origami nodded, recalling that Shiori had a younger sister whose last name was Takamiya, who came from nowhere.

Shiori breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that she didn't suspect anything, and in order to make the lie more believable, she directly used a surname that she was not familiar with.

"Hiss! Let go!" Then Shizhi was bitten because he covered the cat's mouth. Seizing this opportunity, Imi, who was afraid of being sealed by her, turned around and ran away without stopping.

There were a series of bite marks on her knuckles without breaking the skin. She hoped that covering her mouth just now didn't reduce her favorability too much, or didn't make Origami suspicious.

The girl smiled awkwardly at her friend: "What a troublesome little sister you are! Origami, please forgive me for making you laugh."

Origami looked at Yimi's departing figure and said, "It's a bit strange."

"Really?" Shiori quickly blocked her view: "Ah... maybe Origami has seen her at my house before? Let's not talk about that for now. Is Origami free today? I feel like my bra is too small."

"available."

Dengdengdengdeng-

Halfway through her run, Yimi turned back and watched Shizhi warily as he walked back to the sandy ground along the route farthest from her. She sorted out the card and put it in her pocket.

This is the cat's spoils.

ps: Thanks to the sage of [Four and Two-thirds Cat] and the boss!

Thanks to all the bosses! (Sorry for the inconvenience in backend statistics QAQ)

Chapter 14 Reluctantly Rewarding You

The central area, which is surrounded by primary, secondary and junior high schools, is considered to be the most expensive and the school district housing that should be given the most attention in development.

There is a sandy area on the way to the elementary school, which is where Yimi got the card yesterday. In the corner, there are several cement pipes of the same type as those in the open space of Doraemon stacked up. This is the latest hideout Yimi has found. When she is sleepy, she can sleep directly in the center of the pipe. She feels safe and if she is lucky, there will be students who come to feed her.

Now she has regained her human form, lying on the tube and flipping through these exquisite cards over and over again with her hands that are almost superior to all animals.

Yimi discovered a new interest. It was interesting to read the small words on the cards, even though she hardly knew any of them.

There are also monster patterns, some of which look very interesting. She arranged them in order of preference (desire to eat).

"Thief, give it back to me!"

"Meow?"

A discordant sound came from below, causing the little girl to sit up in confusion.

It was the True Lord from yesterday, and the guy with a crew cut followed behind him. The disadvantage of not finishing him off was immediately apparent.

Yimi glanced at the cards she had just sorted out, put them in her pocket and refused to give them to him: "This is what I won."

Chenggong was so angry that Zhenjun's neck turned red: "You stole this. You hit me yesterday and I'm not admitting it today!"

"Master, it's shameful that you have never hit a girl. Don't do it again." The boy with a crew cut was still adding fuel to the fire.

"you shut up!"

"Huh?" Yimi didn't understand. She took out yesterday's winning card and pointed at the skill bar on it: "It asked me to play it."

The True Lord then remembered the rules he had made up yesterday.

"That doesn't count. Throwing cards doesn't have any skills. You can only use throwing!"

What a weird guy. He was the one who said he could use his skills but now he's refusing to do so. Yimi can't be such a bad kid in the future.

Yimi jumped down from the cement pipe and held the skill bar of the card: "Hit again."

"Violent woman..."

Zhenjun swallowed his saliva, felt a slight pain in his head, and couldn't swallow this breath.

He took out a pack of unopened cards and said, "Let's play. There are no skills this time. Do you dare to play?"

"rua~" Yimi suddenly felt that it was meaningless.

But Yimi saw that he had just opened a card that she didn't have, and there was a kitten on it.

……

Ten minutes later, Yimi's tail, which was hidden in his pants and was strangled, moved. He couldn't help biting his thumb nail, and in his other hand he held the last three cards that he was reluctant to play.

"I won again, can you do it?" The boy immediately became proud.

"Master, it's not that glorious to win by throwing cards against a girl you've never played with before..."

"Shut up, who are you with?"

Although the boy was discouraged by his companions, his smug look still made the cat unhappy.

"Next, it's my turn." Yimi picked up her card and looked around but didn't see Shizhi.

He threw it down with force, then used his little recovered spiritual power to quietly shake it, directly turning the opponent's card over.

"I won."

"What good luck... Why are you so proud of winning just once?"

Fall again.

"Won again."

"Huh? You're lucky."

……

"I've won." The kitten sorted out the stack of cards in his hand with satisfaction, squinted his eyes, and pursed his lips almost into three petals.

She pointed at the boy who had just mocked her and retaliated with a mocking retort: ​​"What a jerk."

"Trash...trash?" The little boy repeated the mocking voice weakly, with a blush on his cheeks, perhaps because of anger.

"Zhenjun was beaten by a girl who was playing for the first time while playing cards!" The guy with a crew cut was still trying hard.

"If you say that again, I'll beat you up!" The boy rolled his fist and pointed at Yimi's nose with a rosy face: "You're lucky today, just wait for me."

The buzz-cut boy said, "Such a cliché villain's stubborn remarks..."

"you!"

"The trash has escaped, trash." After Maomao said this, it was obvious that the other party paused, but still ran away without looking back.

The defeated general ran away.

What the system said is not entirely correct. If you don't last hit someone, they may keep sending cards to you.

"Ah la a la~" A strange voice came from behind Yimi, which successfully scared her.

Because the humanoid's sense of smell was not that sensitive and her ears were covered with her hat, she did not notice someone coming in advance.

There were many women, but today there was only one, and this time she was dressed with her hair covering one eye.

"That was spiritual power just now, right, little brother?"

Tokisaki Kurumi didn't come to see this child who was suspected to be a new Pokémon. She heard from her clone that there was a cat nearby that allowed them to touch it at will and would not run away, so she took the opportunity to come and see it.

But she had walked around three times and still didn't find it. Instead, she saw a funny scene of elf kids using their spiritual power to bully other kids. It was a good thing that she had deliberately taken a detour to buy a bag of sausages.

"I heard a while ago that a new spirit appeared in Tengu City... Well, you should have met that kid Shiori, right?"

"Mmmmm?"

The woman's tone of voice was strange yet familiar.

Yimi tilted her head back and reminisced. She was just over one year old and didn't have much to recall, but she quickly found that memory.

When I watch TV with my mother, the little man in the black box sometimes makes an "ah-la-ah-la" sound.

Then the person who swept the floor every day (the maid) passed by and said something.

Although Yimi didn't understand it at the time, she could still vaguely recall some details because she had read the key words before.

The maid sweeping the floor said, "Miss, are you reading magical girl anime now? But don't imitate their linguistic habits, or you'll be mistaken for a stupid idiot if you keep saying 'mumbling' all the time. I had this same dark history when I was in school... Ugh! Please forget that swear word, and the one after that."

Yimi doesn't remember most of it, but he still remembers those few words.

She pointed at Tokisaki Kurumi and repeated the maid's name: "Stupid two-spined newt."

"Congratulations to the host for achieving [Indiscriminately insulting everyone equally]. The system very reluctantly rewards you with 5% portal energy. We do not encourage or advocate for this type of behavior to continue."

"...Little brother, has your sister ever offended you in any way?"

Yimi followed the maid's explanation: "The one who can say 'Ah La Ma Ma' is a stupid idiot."

"...Hehe." Tokisaki Kurumi pinched Yimi's collagen with a forced smile.

I really want to eat him in one bite.

"Nightmare." The discordant voice appeared again from the side.

Well, the elementary school students have been out playing for a while, and it’s probably time for the high school students to get out of school.

Tokisaki Kurumi tapped her cheek and looked at the newcomer in confusion: "Ah La... I remember you are Tobiichi, right?"

Origami didn't respond, but glanced at Yimi who was standing next to the other person. She was Shiori's distant cousin, at least that's what Shiori himself said.
