“……meow……meooow?”

The first time his voice came out it made him freeze. Why did his meow sound so strange? He was faced with both the man’s surprised eyes and the children crying, he meowed! at the same time. At that point he just wanted to disappear. Having a clumsy meow was so unlike a cat. No matter how many times he went meow, meow like he normally would, it sounded terrible like a human imitating a cat’s cry.

“Why won’t he stop meowing?”

When the man approached the futon confused, the children next to him also changed the focus of their gazes with slightly knit brows.

“Was he meowing like this before?”

“No, he started when Kiri-sama showed up.”

When they said that, the man furrowed his brow anxiously.

“It’s my fault? Am I scary?”

“He wasn’t so worked up like this when it was just us.”

“I see……I guess I am scary.”

When they saw the man’s suddenly troubled expression, one of the cat-eared boys clung to his arm, trying to cheer him up.

“It’s all right. Kiri-sama isn’t scary!”

“He was just surprised, I’m sure of it.”

The other one next to him replied with a cool expression.
