The Country of Cats is so refined. Its kind of retro.

Touya stated his impression as they walked. Kiri stopped, a little surprised.

You mean it looks like a somewhat previous time period? You can tell?

so it would seem.

He remembered what Akio had said to him last night, about how his speech was so smooth even though he had just come to the Country of Cats. He didnt really understand it either, but he seemed to be suddenly full of knowledge he shouldnt have.

Cats have a high sense for aesthetics. Since ayakashi have been around since long ago, they emulate the scenery and the time period that feels most beautiful to them.

So that was it, he could understand their reasoning. The thing he couldnt understand the most was himself. He knew this scenery was like the olden days, but he wasnt very used to walking upright like this through the town. With his vision placed so high, it made him feel like he could trip at any moment. When he would stumble, he was quick to let out a meow.

Are you all right? I get worried when you make such cute noises.

Kiri supported him with his arm as he laughed.

S-Sorryits undignified, isnt it?

Thats not it. I have to make sure you dont get catnapped.
