Chapter 107 A Cat

A new cat cafe has opened in Beika-cho 3-chome.

When Jyoutani heard passers-by excitedly discussing the news, the first thought that came to his mind was to go investigate.

There has been some unrest in Beika Town lately, with many members of organized crime groups infiltrating. Furuya originally tried to find out their purpose, but was eventually warned by Rum, so he could only pretend to be aware and give up his curiosity.

Now there is another cat cafe, which makes Fūtani suspect that this is another fake store opened by a member of the organization that has infiltrated Beihua.

But he also found it strange. What was there in Beika Town that required the organization to keep such a close watch? He had been lurking here for a long time, so why did he have no memory of it?

For some reason, Fūya had a hunch that the answer to this question might be found in that cat cafe.

So at 2pm, during the normal business hours, Furuya quietly approached the location of the new cat cafe he had found out about.

Standing at the corner of the street, he could easily see the sign of the cat cafe as soon as he looked up. On it was written [Kahlua] in beautiful fonts. As a cat cafe, this name is really strange, but from another perspective, the name of the store is obviously the name of a wine, which further confirms Kouya's guess that "this store is related to the organization."

After a closer look, he found that the door of the cat cafe was in the shape of a round cat's head outlined by a sky blue frame. The wall facing the street was made of single-sided glass, and one could only see the cat stickers on the glass from the outside. The induction door made in the shape of a cat's head, together with the single-sided glass wall, blocked the outside peek line.

It seems that the only way to see what is going on inside is to go in. Fūya thought so.

"Welcome--" the girl at the front desk said subconsciously as she looked at the door that opened automatically, but she did not see any visiting guests.

"Eh?" The receptionist was stunned. "Is the door broken?"

While she turned around and walked into the store to call the manager, Kouya, who was hiding behind the door, seized the opportunity and suddenly jumped in, hiding himself in the shadows, patiently waiting for the footsteps to fade away.

The position chosen by Jōgōu allowed him to see what was happening outside without being caught, which made it convenient for him to move.

After all, he had been warned once by Rum, and it would be better not to expose this investigation to them, not to mention that the manager of this store was most likely also a member of the organization.

These guys who destroy the harmony of society, sooner or later he will kill them all... At this moment, Furuya suddenly caught a sound approaching from behind, he became alert and turned his head quickly to look.

The next second, his eyes widened - he saw a face that couldn't possibly appear here.

"Hi, long time no see." The visitor had a pair of gentle blue eyes and looked at Fūya with a smile, "I've been thinking for the past two days that you would definitely come here to investigate. Just now I heard Miss Xiaozi and the store manager say that the sensor door was broken... I came over to take a look, and it turned out to be you."

It's Hiro's voice.

Fūya did not respond to the other party's words immediately. He just stared blankly at the visitor's face and calmly compared it with the childhood memory.

Is it really Hiro?! Impossible, how could Hiro appear in this place?

Fūya subconsciously took a step closer to that direction, but relied on self-control to stop himself from taking any unnecessary actions.

"Will it be of any benefit to you to pretend to be him and play a prank on me, Vermode?" Fūya said coldly.

This is definitely not the Hiro he knew, because Hiro had died in the line of duty two months ago.

Then it can only be the Thousand-Faced Witch who is the best at disguising herself as other members in the organization... Why would Bermode do this? Could it be that his identity has been exposed?

"What?" The newcomer was startled and looked at Fūya in surprise, "I am Morobuchi."

The guy who called himself Zhufu wanted to touch Furuya's forehead to see if he had a fever, and muttered, "Strange, this is Zero..."

Fūya took a step back, distrust written all over his face: "Who are you?"

Not only did he know Hiro's real name, he also called out his name! Could it be that he was really exposed?

The ambush on the opposite side looked at him with a strange worried expression: "Zero, are you really okay?"

Just as Fūya was about to do something else, another voice interrupted him.

"Zhu Fu, why do you stay in this corner all the time... huh?"

As soon as Matsuda turned the corner, he saw his two friends standing there, not knowing what to do. Morofushi looked confused, while Furutani on the opposite side had a look of confusion and disbelief on his face. He had no idea what that guy was thinking.

"What the hell, it's really that blond bastard." Matsuda's mouth twitched, "Do you really have to reminisce at the door? 'Hiro' and 'Zero', don't leave all the work to me and Team Leader Hagi."

"I'm sorry, Matsuda." Morobuchi apologized, "I wanted to bring Zero in, but for some reason, he seemed to think I wasn't the real one."

A question mark almost appeared on Matsuda's head: "What?"

They looked at each other and then looked at Furuya.

"Ah." Matsuda suddenly remembered something. "I said, Zhufu, you didn't leave a message for this guy before, right?"

Jōtani was alert and silent, but when he heard this, his heart skipped a beat: What message?

When asked this question, Morofushi's face went blank for a few seconds.

"It seems...I really forgot."

He finally understood why he and Furuya were talking at cross purposes. He covered his eyes with his hands and tried to explain himself: "Well, Zero, listen to me. I am really Morobushi, Morobushi Kagemitsu, not Vermode in disguise! I am not dead."

Fūya's eyes became even more ferocious.

"Hey, hey, if you can't recognize Morobuchi, you can at least recognize me, right?" Matsuda said speechlessly, "I've never died, and I'm not pretending. I'm Matsuda Jinpei himself, you bastard Rei."

Jōtani's mind was in a mess. He was no longer prepared to continue investigating this suspicious cat cafe. He just wanted to quickly confirm the authenticity of the two things in front of him, or confirm whether his identity was exposed, and then quickly escape from here.

A pair of hands stopped his movements and lifted him up into the air from behind.

"Hey, is this the new employee that Hiro and Kojinpei brought back for the job?" A clear voice sounded in Furuya's ears. "It's really a new face that I haven't seen before. I think he will be very popular with the customers."

Fūya was just stunned at first, but then he began to struggle, trying to break free from the shackles and return to the ground.

"It's no use, Zero." Fūya saw Matsuda's face full of schadenfreude, "The store manager is very strong. He can't even get rid of Hagi. Forget it."

Zhu Fu beside him paused to explain, and nodded in agreement: "Yes, I was also lifted up by the store manager. It was a force that I could not resist at all."

Just as Fūya was about to say something, the person behind him put one hand across his chest and covered his mouth with his free hand.

"I've been wanting to say this since the beginning. You two know each other, right? Even so, you can't block the door and chat." The voice of the man called the store manager came from above Furuya's head. He said lazily, "Sorry, new here, you're a bit noisy, I'll mute you for now."

Fūya stared blankly.

What? Weren't those two guys the ones who were arguing and complaining just now? He hasn't said anything yet!

Fūya tried to struggle again, making a whimpering sound, but was patted on the head by the store manager.

"Don't move. I quite like this dress. If you damage it, I will pawn you to work for free in my shop."

gameover~

Fūya looked up helplessly and saw himself in the mirror opposite him being held by a beautiful chocolate-colored Siamese cat.

And of course, there's the guy holding him.

Furuya looked up and met a pair of gray eyes.

The store manager looked at him with a smile and greeted him: "Hi, new guy, you are very good-looking."

Fūya decided to pretend that he didn't hear it and would definitely continue to look for an opportunity to escape later.

...escape?

He stared in amazement at the silver tabby and white Maine cat surrounded by a group of pretty girls in the cat cafe, as well as the amber Norwegian Forest cat and ginger Labrador Rex cat who were warmly welcomed after trotting back from the corner where they had just been.

It's really Hagiwara, Hiro and Matsuda... What on earth are you doing!!

"Do you care?" The store manager seemed to be able to see what he was thinking, and explained to him seriously, "I met Xiao Zhenping and Hagi on the street, and because they were so good-looking, I lured them back. As for Jing, I found him injured at the door of my house two months ago. During this period, I was preparing to open a store, so I just let him work in the store to pay off my debts."

No matter how Fūya looked around, he had to admit one fact.

In this crowded cat cafe, there are only three cats besides him! Can Hiro and his friends really take care of them? No wonder Hagiwara is surrounded by a group of customers sucking...

Jōgō's eyes went dark, and he felt that his future was hopeless.

He, will he become one of them next?

…

Wait, I remember.

He was just here to gather information, not to actually apply for the job, right?
