Its all right since Im here now, but if you go walking around by yourself around here, you should be cautious of strange people calling out to you. An undeveloped ayakashi cat is an easy target. You could get auctioned off in the cat slave trade.

He had thought Kiri not letting him run an errand at the Nekomata Shrine was exaggeratedbut, it really did seem like he could get catnapped.

Are Natsuki and Akio really more okay out here than me? I feel like someone would want to kidnap those children way more than me

Thats because those children have been here for quite a long time.

About that

As soon as he spoke in order to casually bring up the things weighing on his mind, Kiri suddenly stopped his feet in front of a certain shop.

Touya, why dont we have some anmitsu?

Having just the memory that anmitsu was something sweet, his proposal of that bewitching taste made Touyas cat ears reflexively perk up as he nodded. The sign board read Suzukaze and appeared to be a sweets shop, but there wasnt a single customer inside. The interior of the Japanese style shop was cute and compact. There were only six seats at the table.

Welcome.

Someone called out from inside.

Oh, Kiri-sama. Good afternoon.

The shopkeeper said as she came out.
