He was still unable to meet the maid, Kudou-san, who prepared their delicious meals, but he was getting along with Natsuki and Akio very well. The two of them followed Touya around the house no matter where he went. Even though their personalities were completely opposite, they were both attached to him in the same way. For instance, during snack and meal time, Natsuki ate whole-heartedly and would get food all over his mouth. Touya would wipe his mouth and Natsuki would hug him back as he smiled widely. Instead of learning by example, he would continue to eat the same way. On the other hand, Akio always ate carefully, but whenever he saw him wipe Natsukis mouth, he would purposefully get food around his mouth and wait for Touya to do the same for him. He would tell Akio to come to him so he could hold him and clean him up. Finally letting him spoil him, Akio would timidly push his forehead against Touya. They were both cute in their own way. Even though he needed to hurry and remember about his true self, he forgot about his anxieties when he spent his pleasant times with Natsuki and Akio. He wasnt making any progress in his situation though. He had asked Kiri how he could make himself transform completely into a human, but he gave him some advice instead.

Why dont you work on trying to become a cat first? Since its easier.

While Kiri was away, Natsuki and Akio had been teaching Touya techniques to help him change into a cat.
