“Natsuki? Is that really you, Natsuki?”

The kitten had been meowing to begin with, but as Touya held him in his arms and pet his head, he answered him.

“That’s right~”

“I was able to transform successfully, right? I’m amazing, right?”

“Yes, it was amazing.”

He

genuinely praised him. The kitten—Natsuki, jumped onto Touya’s shoulder

and sweetly rubbed against his nose. Suddenly feeling like a cat, Touya

also rubbed against the tip of Natsuki’s nose.

“Natsuki, that tickles.”

His

shoulders shook with laughter as Natsuki licked his face. That’s when

he noticed Akio sitting across from him, looking at him with a tense

expression.

“What about you, Akio? Can you change into a cat too?”

Akio

nodded without a word. After a while, Akio’s lowered eyes started to

glow with a golden light like Natsuki’s had earlier. In the next moment,

a gray striped cat appeared. Unlike Natsuki, he didn’t meow, he just

jumped onto the low table, sat down and looked up at him.

“I turned into a cat.”

“Come over here.”

He

thought Akio may not like being touched like Natsuki, but when he

reached out his hand, he looked at it hesitantly, and timidly approached

it.
