When he got out of the bath and started to walk down the hall he ran into Kiri. Touya confessed to him the things that made him even more confused.

I took a bath with no problems.

Kiri looked at him blankly, then smiled amused.

Of course. Youre different from before, youre no longer a mere cat.

He could say he had adapted to his amazement pretty quickly, and it was good that he had accepted various things as natural, but as usual, being unable to remember who he really was left him frustrated. Even though the scenery around him had become clear and vivid, only how he felt inside seemed to be hazy. Sensing his confusion, Kiri pet Touyas damp head.

dont get so worked up, itll be all right. You should rest for today.

Kiri was a strange person, well, cat. He responded as if he could understand how he felt. Even though they had only met today, it was a mystery why he treated him so kindly. Was it because he was a cat with a charitable heart? He may have been lucky to have met Kiri and the others first when he came to the Country of Cats.
