Chapter 32 I didn't come here to destroy this family, I...
Seriously, you've got me completely confused.
Nekono Yuuya covered her face in a daze, staring wide-eyed at Furuya Rei. Her emerald green cat eyes were full of confusion, clearly not yet having reacted.
He thought he was at the beginning of the second stage of the simple drawing process, having gone through the first of the eighty-one tribulations, and was preparing to overcome all difficulties. Unexpectedly, he had only taken one step and had not yet stood firm when he looked up and saw that the true scripture had been delivered to his door.
Wow... this is way too fast!
Nekono Ikuya was in a daze; he hadn't even started trying yet.
He wondered, could this be the legendary "As long as you bravely take the first step, I will take the remaining ninety-nine steps for you"?
Nekono Ikuya was surprised. Was this what it felt like to go to someone in a two-way street?
He couldn't help but exclaim again, "Furuya-kun, you're such a kind person."
Furuya is so nice to him!
Nekono Ikuya said sincerely, "Furuya-kun, I knew I liked you!"
He happily announced, "Great! I've made up with Furuya!"
Long live Furuya-kun! Long live reconciliation!
Hey, hey, what?
This time, it was Furuya Rei's turn to be dumbfounded.
All you said was "we made up," so why did you suddenly go straight to the point, praising him and saying you like him?
Sweet words just come out of his mouth, this guy is really... really... kind of embarrassing.
Rei Furuya gently shifted his gaze, a faint blush creeping onto his earlobes.
Nekono Ikuya thought Furuya Rei was easy to coax, but didn't Furuya Rei also think Nekono Ikuya was easy to coax?
He only said something about making up, and Nekono was so happy that she didn't even care about him pinching her cheek.
Because of the hidden anger in his heart and the shadow of the blank mask that came to mind, Furuya Rei didn't control his strength when he grabbed Nekono Ikuya's face, and his face still looks a little red now.
Although Nekono Ikuya believed he had only just begun his operation, and that handing out cards and raising the white flag were merely his initial moves, from Furuya Rei's perspective, the reality was clearly different; Nekono Ikuya was obviously in action every single moment.
He looked at the notes on the table, which were more detailed than usual, because he hadn't come yesterday.
If it weren't for the fact that copying things down personally could deepen his understanding of the knowledge, and the slight obsessive-compulsive tendency to maintain the consistency of his handwriting throughout the notebook, he wouldn't even need to make up for the notes he missed yesterday.
If you pay close attention, you can always discover the thoughtfulness that Nekonoko hides in unexpected places.
Even when Nekono suddenly encountered her own coldness, she remained positive and stable, without developing any negative emotions, despite not understanding why.
And before that, he hadn't spoken, but had simply been lying quietly on the table, tilting his head back and staring wide-eyed, his clear gaze seemingly a silent plea for mercy without forcing a response.
Nekono was clearly the one who was dealing damage the whole time. The cards and the white flag were just used to land critical hits and happen to empty Furuya's health bar, thus securing the last hit.
Under Nekono Ikuya's straightforward words and sincere gaze, Furuya Rei suddenly became busy.
When people feel embarrassed or shy, they often want to pretend to be busy, and Rei Furuya is no exception.
His gaze swept aimlessly across the table, when suddenly he saw the mysterious purple potion that Nekono Ikumi had given him on the corner of the table, and his gaze slowly froze.
For some reason, Rei Furuya reached out and picked up the bottle of mysterious potion, and drank it as if possessed.
The thick yet light, pale purple liquid slid down my throat. It had a slightly cool taste, similar to mint but not quite, and it wasn't unpleasant to drink.
Rei Furuya smacked his lips, even finding the potion somewhat delicious, like a nectar of unknown flowers, with a slightly sweet and refreshing taste.
Is this really medicine and not some kind of nectar? Furuya Rei looked at Nekono Ikuya with doubt.
Then he suddenly froze.
Because Rei Furuya noticed a sudden cool sensation in his sprained ankle, which quickly returned to normal, though the lingering pain was gone.
He subconsciously twisted his ankle, and his gaze toward Nekono Ikuya suddenly became somewhat dazed.
Wait, it's actually healed?
Is this... working too fast?
Rei Furuya stared blankly at Ikuya Nekono, who slowly blinked and smiled.
"The witch's potion is really effective, isn't it?" Nekono Ikuya said proudly, hands on her hips.
Ah, friendship!
Morofushi Kagemitsu, who had been closely observing the interaction between the two, saw Nekono Ikuya and Furuya Rei staring at each other again and looked away speechlessly.
In just one day, he witnessed the entire process of Nekono Ikuya and Furuya Rei going from inexplicably starting a cold war to suddenly making up.
My mood gradually changed from initial worry to calm, and I could no longer feel any ripples. At this moment, I just wanted to give them six points.
Zhu Fujingguang's crescent-shaped eyes: "..."
He finally understood that the Cold War was just a lie told by Nekono Ikuya and Furuya Rei, a little trick they used to attract each other's attention.
Nekono Ikuya and Furuya Rei have a genuine and wonderful relationship; they don't need anyone else to worry about them. What a waste of your time.
How could a real Cold War end so easily? From the start of their Cold War to their reconciliation, only a few hours had passed! It didn't even last a day!
Are you two elementary school students having a tiff? Morofushi Kagemitsu was utterly speechless.
"No, that's not right," said Morofukage Kagemitsu, blinking.
They were indeed still elementary school students, so Nekono Ikuya and Furuya Rei's behavior suddenly made sense.
Morofushi Kagemitsu shook his head helplessly, pretending to be very mature like a little adult.
Sigh, elementary school students!
In short, this cold war, which started and ended inexplicably, passed without incident. Nekono Ikuya and Furuya Rei were still happily playing together, and their relationship had even improved.
The only slight difference from before is that Morofushi Kagemitsu has gradually become more prominent among them. After all, Morofushi Kagemitsu has a really good personality, and it's hard not to like him after spending time with him, just like Furuya Rei.
Morofushi Kagemitsu (serious face): I didn't come here to destroy this family, I came here to join this family.jpg
Nekono Ikuya and Furuya Rei: "I readily accept! Welcome them with flowers!" (Image)
Zhu Fujingguang seamlessly integrated into the team.
Time flew by, and another happy weekend arrived. Nekono Ikuya and Black returned to their familiar park, and once again, they were catching cats everywhere.
After searching for a long time without success, Nekono Ikuya stood dejectedly by the bushes, hands on his hips, a look of weariness in his eyes. He looked up at Black with a puzzled expression:
"Blake, does the cat have to get lost every time we walk it, making us search for it everywhere? Is it an inevitable part of the process, like the sun rising in the east and setting in the west?"
Nekono Ikuya is so engrossed in her search for the cat that she's almost lost her bearings, and her thoughts are becoming increasingly chaotic, leading her to start questioning the world with wild and fantastical ideas.
Ta Xue, where have you gone? I can't find you anywhere! Did you sneak home after all that trouble?
Nekono Ikuya looked blank, gradually beginning to question the meaning of life. Catching cats is so tiring.
That's why people unanimously call the game of hiding and searching "hide-and-seek." When it comes to hide-and-seek, you really have to be a professional cat.
Sure enough, Nekono Ikuya and Black haven't found a single trace of Tayuki yet, but they have found some of its shed cat hair.
However, Nekono Ikuya held up a few strands of black cat hair in his hand, recalled the location where he and Blake had found the cat hair, and gradually fell into deep thought.
Why did he always feel that those few cat hairs were deliberately dropped there by Ta Xue to mislead them about their true location and help them escape capture?
Are even cats learning anti-tracking skills now? Great post.
Blake remained calm, and with a touch of dry humor, he said, "Young Master Yumi is joking. We're not walking the cat; the cat is clearly walking us."
He pointed out, "Ta Xue slipped out of the courtyard by herself, we didn't have to carry her out."
Oh, right.
Nekono Ikuya looked dazed; it seemed that it really was true—Tatsumaki had sneaked out on his own.
Ever since the last time Nekono Ikumi suddenly had the idea to take Tayuki out of the yard to walk the cat, Tayuki seemed to have turned on a switch and suddenly realized how vast the world was and how sweet the air outside was.
He had been content with occupying such a small piece of land in the villa area, spending his days sunbathing and chasing butterflies, completely losing his former ambition.
Degenerate, utterly degenerate!
Ta Xue licked its paws and angrily scolded itself, "You're supposed to be a precious spirit cat valued by the noble witch, how can you be so unambitious? You've completely failed the witch's cultivation!"
It perched on the cabinet and looked down at Nekono Ikuya below, thinking that Nekono Ikuya had already grown quite large and no longer needed its attention.
It flicked its tail, and its gaze toward Nekono Ikuya gradually became more meaningful.
My little witch, you've grown up so big now that you can play by yourself without the cat's company. The cat is still young; the cat has its own career to pursue.
So, it slipped away silently, running quickly towards the courtyard.
The world of freedom has been opened to the cat!
“Blake, you’re right. It’s not that we’re walking the cat, it’s that the cat is walking us,” Nekono Ikumi said sadly.
Actually, he wasn't too worried about Taxue's safety. Although Taxue was a cat, she was a very powerful one.
Just by looking at how much older it is than Nekono Ikuya, yet its appearance remains vigorous and youthful, with clear and lively eyes, you can tell this cat is special.
Nekono Yumi dragged Blake around looking for Tayuki, mainly because she was curious about what Tayuki was doing.
Bring Yumi along if there's anything fun to do, don't let the cat play alone.
Unfortunately, Tayuki seems determined to shake off Nekono Ikumi, that clingy cat, and go it alone, even resorting to counter-tracking tactics.
Are all cats so eager for freedom? Nekono Ikuya shook her head.
Oh, kitty!
"Forget it, Blake, it looks like we're not going to catch Snowwalker. Shall we go back?"
The weariness on Nekono Ikumi's face vanished, and she became energetic again, no longer intending to be walked by the cat.
Blake was about to agree when he suddenly heard a soft meow beside him.
Meow~
He instinctively turned his head, only to find that there was only the swaying of leaves coming from the sound, nothing else.
Blake frowned, slowly turning around to discuss with Nekono Ikuya, "Young Master Ikuya..."
"Uh, Young Master Yumi?!"
Then they discovered that Nekono Ikuya had suddenly disappeared!
Blake was shocked, his pupils dilating as he stared in disbelief at the empty space where Nekono Ikuya had disappeared.
He suddenly wondered, did Mao Ye always have to get lost and make him search for her every time he took her out to look for the cat? Was it an inevitable process, like the sun rising in the east and setting in the west?
A black ox slowly lost its color.
