Once Kiri finished, he cheerfully watched Touya bring anmitsu to his mouth. When he narrowed his gentle eyes at him, it didnt make him feel uncomfortable at all. The mystery in Kiris eyes looking at him and the uncertainty he felt about them had started to fade away. They were like the flavor of a sweet tried for the first time. He wondered why even though they had just met yesterday, the atmosphere between them when they were alone together became unusually sweet, as if it melted into a mound of sugar. He could understand how gentle he was with him if he were a child like Natsuki or Akio. However, he was no longer at an age where he needed protection. Why was Kiri being this kind to him?

Kiri. Earlier when you were explaining how I could be catnapped, you mentioned undeveloped cats were easy targets. I asked you yesterday as well, but what is an undeveloped cat? Is it a cat like myself that has just come here?

Thats righta brand new soul with nothing unusual attached to it. There are those who could go after you with various intentions.

Various intentions?

Well, eat your anmitsu.

Since he didnt answer him clearly yesterday either, it seemed difficult for him to talk about for some reason. Once they return, Akio and Natsuki would be there, and it would no longer be the right mood to listen to his explanation carefully, so he needed to ask him about it now. Once he finished his anmitsu, he resolved himself to the task.
