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.

Thats right~

I was able to transform successfully, right? Im amazing, right?

Yes, it was amazing.

He genuinely praised him. The kittenNatsuki, jumped onto Touyas shoulder and sweetly rubbed against his nose. Suddenly feeling like a cat, Touya also rubbed against the tip of Natsukis nose.

Natsuki, that tickles.

His shoulders shook with laughter as Natsuki licked his face. Thats 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, Akios lowered eyes started to glow with a golden light like Natsukis had earlier. In the next moment, a gray striped cat appeared. Unlike Natsuki, he didnt 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.
