霞之丘 narrowed her eyes.
So, the time she went to the Fushikawa Library yesterday was when her home was robbed, right!
Just for a short while!
She remembered the pair of cherry blossom-colored slippers at home that had been unboxed.
霞之丘 looked at Yukiya with a rather resentful gaze.
Yukiya smiled awkwardly.
How to say it.
The current scene looks pretty serious.
But actually, the bigger thing is still to come.
Thus, Eriri used 'Byakuyūmaru' as an excuse.
The three of them set off on their way to Yukiya's house.
They didn't say much along the way.
Until they reached the door.
Yukiya took out his keys and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
The big one is coming!
Opening the entrance door.
On the steps, Byakuyūmaru was sitting there obediently, welcoming them.
Unlike most adopted cats.
Byakuyūmaru is a very affectionate character.
Its mother should have been a house cat, and under its tutelage, Byakuyūmaru is very accustomed to living with humans.
I just don't know why it was abandoned.
Seeing the fluffy Byakuyūmaru, Eriri instantly lost the mood to spar with 霞之丘.
She directly squatted down and stretched out her hand towards Byakuyūmaru.
She was also making 'meow' sounds.
Byakuyūmaru was attracted and walked towards Eriri, tentatively placing a paw on Eriri's fingertip.
After confirming that there was no danger, Byakuyūmaru simply climbed onto Eriri's hand.
Stroking the soft, pure white fur, Eriri's eyes lit up.
霞之丘 also looked at Byakuyūmaru for a while.
But soon, her gaze fell on the side.
At the bottom of the entrance steps, a pair of women's leather shoes had already been placed.
And, the pair of cherry blossom-colored slippers on the shoe rack were gone.
A bad feeling arose in her heart.
"Welcome home."
Along with the light, fluttering voice came a lovely girl with a face like a Chinese flowering locust.
Kato Megumi walked out from the kitchen, still wearing an apron.
If it weren't for the fact that she was still wearing the Fuzisaki uniform.
She would be a virtuous housewife.
Eriri's fingers, which were teasing Byakuyūmaru, stopped, and her entire body fell into a daze.
霞之丘's long, narrow beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.
So the person who robbed the house is here.
"Hmm, I'm back, Megumi, what are you doing in the kitchen?"
Yukiya changed his slippers and walked towards the kitchen.
"Because I don't know when you'll be back, Yukiya-kun, so I've made some dishes just in case."
Kato Megumi said matter-of-factly.
"Oh, oh, you've worked hard, I'll take over the rest."
"Okay, I'll take off my apron for you."
"Hmm, go sit in the living room for a while, stay and have dinner before you leave."
Listening to this conversation.
霞之丘 and Eriri exchanged glances.
The two of them obviously had the same thought.
'Why are you guys so practiced at this!'
"Shirakawa-san, Kaga-san, nice to meet you, I'm Kato Megumi, I was asked by Yukiya-kun to feed Byakuyūmaru."
At some point, Kato Megumi appeared next to the two of them.
She nearly startled 霞之丘 and Eriri.
Only upon closer observation did the two realize that Kato Megumi was actually a beautiful girl.
Although she doesn't stand out at first glance, she won't leave any impression on your mind.
But upon closer observation, after becoming slightly familiar, you will realize that Kato Megumi is completely a lovely girl who is no less than the two of them.
It even makes you think: 'Wow, why is such a cute girl so inconspicuous?'
"Kato... is it, you know me?"
Kaga Shizuka changed her slippers and started probing for information.
"Sort of, after all, Kaga-san is very famous in Fuzisaki, it would be strange not to know her."
"But I was a little startled just now, I didn't expect that Yukiya-kun's tenant would be the legendary Kaga-san."
Kato Megumi responded truthfully.
The legendary statement.
Even though 霞之丘 is used to being flattered.
She couldn't help but feel good about the cute girl's words.
霞之丘 understood immediately.
This girl named Kato Megumi is a threat far beyond Eriri.
Every word she said and every move she made made people not feel the slightest bit wary.
This kind of light, gentle girl, who seems harmless.
Actually, she is the most dangerous type.
After deeply understanding the danger of Kato Megumi, 霞之丘 looked at her enemy, who was on the same front as herself.
What is Eriri doing?
Oh, Eriri is petting the cat.
霞之丘 unconsciously touched her forehead with her fingers.
It was her mistake to place hope on Eriri.
Dinner was quickly ready.
Because it was taking over, there wasn't really much choice.
So, that night, the four of them ate curry, grilled saury, and miso soup.
After dinner, Byakuyūmaru lay in Kato Megumi's arms.
The two front paws, stepped on Kato Megumi's legs back and forth.
The pink pads, felt like a massage.
Looking at the friendly interaction between the girl and the cat, Eriri finally realized the crisis.
"Wow, it's already nine o'clock, Yukiya-kun, Shirakawa-san, Kaga-san, I'll go first."
Taking out her phone, Kato Megumi saw the time and stood up.
Although she said 'wow' with her mouth.
But her tone was still light and fluffy.
"I should go too."
Eriri stood up reluctantly.
The two of them lived near the academy station and could conveniently go together.
The train had already stopped running.
So Eriri simply hailed a taxi.
Yukiya inconspicuously stuffed the taxi fare into Kato Megumi's top pocket.
After all, he had asked the girl to come over and help.
If he let Kato Megumi pay for the taxi herself, it would be too much.
The taxi fare in Tokyo is considered the most expensive in the world.
Moreover, Kato Megumi's family background is not the type that can spend money casually.
As a result, the taxi had only been driving for a short distance.
Yukiya received a line from Kato Megumi.
Megumi: 【Yukiya-kun, why did you give me money? Is this a hint?】
Yukiya: 【It's the taxi fare!】
Megumi: 【If it's the taxi fare, I can pay for it myself.】
Yukiya: 【After all, I asked Megumi to come over and help, if I still let Megumi pay for the taxi... my heart will be uneasy!】
Yukiya: 【Uneasy deisi.jpg】
