Chapter 46: Little Thoughts
It turns out that Savannah and Daya are stowaways from the planet M32. They have been using their precious animal forms to mingle in the pet market and the homes of their owners, living a miserable life.
This time, it was also because Cathy suddenly got into trouble that they were taken in by Tong Wanwan by accident.
"Wait." Eli suddenly interrupted.
He looked Savannah and Daya up and down, and didn't see any signs of distress on the two children. "Are you lingering on?"
Savannah choked and felt that her words were a bit exaggerated.
"Anyway, Daya and I didn't approach your family on purpose!" The boy turned his head away and suddenly regretted what he said.
Generally speaking, when normal people hear about stowaways, they will report them.
Savannah clenched his fists quietly, his eyes dimming. He didn't want to go back to M32, to that nightmarish place.
Even if I have to pay everything, I will never let Daya get hurt.
"Brother..." Daya seemed to have noticed something and grabbed his sleeves tightly.
"Daya, don't be afraid."
Eli looked away, exchanged glances with the long-tailed tit that flew onto his shoulder, and coughed uncomfortably.
This scene, no matter how you look at it, it seems like he's bullying a child...
"You said you would let us go!" Savannah reminded again.
"That's right," Eli pondered for a moment and asked, "But where can you go after you leave? Run back to the pet market and wait for someone to buy you home and eat and drink for free?"
After hearing this, Savannah and Daya blushed.
Not wanting to be misunderstood by the blond youth in military uniform, Daya spoke up before Savannah and explained, "My brother and I are stowaways from M32. We don't have federal residency permits, so we can only survive this way... When we turn fifteen, we'll register for the federal military academy exam!"
Indeed, the examinations for federal military academies have never been restricted by region, and no federal residency card is required. Even foreigners can come to take the examination.
However, if you want to stay in Federal City for a long time, a resident ID card is still an indispensable item.
"In that case..." Eli lowered his eyelids and suggested, "Why don't you stay here first?"
Eli didn't want the two children to return to their previous wandering life and waste their potential.
Verifying Savannah and Daya's true identities and knowing they had no connection to the anti-federation organization would be enough. Marshal Ives would decide whether to grant them federal residency or find someone to adopt them.
After all, sneaking across a planet is no small matter.
The two children were shocked: "Is it possible?!"
Is it okay...right?
Eli rolled his eyes and looked in the direction of the little white lion. Seeing the marshal nod imperceptibly, he immediately smiled.
He affirmed: "Of course!"
However, if you want to stay in the pet shop, you need to agree to certain conditions, such as: you cannot easily reveal your human form, you must help the store manager Tong Wanwan with daily business operations, etc.
Only after Eli left with the white lion and the long-tailed tit did the brother and sister truly breathe a sigh of relief.
At this time, it was already one o'clock in the morning.
But... cats are naturally active at night and are in the habit of staying up late.
The later it gets, the more energetic Savannah and Daya become.
They waited until no one was in the room before they dared to explore. This pet shelter was huge, with not only sleeping nests but also soft sofas, which looked very comfortable.
Daya pulled Savannah and tentatively sat on the sofa. As her body sank, she suddenly felt as if she were sinking into marshmallows, soft and dizzy.
“So soft…” Daya’s eyes lit up and she tugged at Savannah’s sleeve, “Brother, can I live here forever?”
The girl's eyes were exactly the same as when she turned into a British Shorthair cat. Her brown-copper pupils seemed to be coated with a layer of light, full of water, bright and clear, making people unable to refute any request that came out of her mouth.
Savannah hesitated for a few seconds, but nodded firmly, as a promise to her.
Seeing this, Daya smiled with her eyes curved.
She believed in her brother and believed that he would do whatever he promised her.
"Daya, do you like it here?"
like……?
The girl was stunned for a long time and even forgot to blink her eyelashes.
She and her brother Savannah were homeless stowaways who met unexpectedly on Planet M32, became dependent on each other, and then fled from M32. While living as cats, they had many owners. Some truly loved them, while others treated them as mere showpieces.
Daya was originally somewhat repulsive and afraid of her previous owner, Cathy.
Accustomed to Cathy's hysterics, Daya became increasingly curious about what kind of person Tong Wanwan, the one Cathy envied, envied, and cared about, was. Was she the older sister she appeared to be on screen, with a gentle smile and twinkling eyes?
Therefore, even if Cathy finally came to her senses and became more agreeable, Daya was still...
I really want to meet Tong Wanwan.
I really want to be like the other pets in the live broadcast room, get close to her and act coquettishly, and fight for a warm hug.
Recalling the time when they first met, when she carefully concealed her excitement and tentatively circled around Tong Wanwan, Daya couldn't control her ears burning and the corners of her lips curled up.
"Daya?" Savannah asked doubtfully.
I don't know why, but I have a strange feeling in my heart.
"Ah?" Daya came back to her senses and hurriedly avoided her brother's sight, "Yeah, that's right! I like Sister Wanwan very much!"
Savannah: “……?”
What he asked was "Do you like it here?", not any other question.
Savannah's sister-con radar was flashing, reminding him: It's time to be alert to the possibility of someone snatching Daya away.
However, when he thought of the blond young man's extraordinary aura, and then thought of the white lion and long-tailed tit that might also be orcs, he forced himself to turn off the little radar in his heart.
Tong Wanwan is not someone they can dream of getting close to. I hope Daya simply has a good impression of the store manager.
Savannah sighed and urged Daya to transform into her second form and go back to her nest to sleep.
The two cats jumped into the express box and played around, just like when they first arrived.
Not until all the catnip in the box was eaten up by them and the intoxicating smell disappeared in the air did the two cats jump out of the box contentedly and crawl into the small house prepared for them by the black-haired girl.
It feels so comfortable.
Lying on the cushion with her limbs stretched out, even Savannah, a rare wild cat species known for its arrogance and indifference, couldn't help but sigh.
It looks like... tomorrow will be a sunny day.
