III: Extra Story
Chapter 151: Side Story · 10
But for your sake (Part 4)

***

Cats were lazy and reserved creatures, always maintaining a calm demeanor.

But the premise of this calmness was that no other cats run into their territory.

As a cat with a territory, if another cat appeared in its territory one day, regardless of whether the other party had the intention to seduce its owner, the other party was a potential thief.

Humans have their own social rules, and cats have their own survival rules.

When other cats appear in the territory, a fierce battle was inevitable.

Yayoi watched her cat pounce on another cat, and the sharp "meow" cut through the dark night sky. The much larger body than most kittens did not hinder his movements. The big white cat opened his sharp claws and pounced on the white-haired man holding an umbrella.

The incident happened too suddenly, and the big white cat moved too quickly and fiercely. Yayoi, who was frightened by the other person's face, didn't even have time to grab him, and watched the white cat's claws scratch the delicate face of the white-haired man.

The attack full of hatred for the thieving cat fell in vain, and the big white cat's fate was strangled by the back of its neck.

"What a fat cat~"
The tail tone was dragged out, and the familiar frivolity in the words was inside and outside.

The puddles under the feet spread out circles of ripples, like flowers blooming one after another.

A refreshing man stood in the puddles, holding an umbrella in one hand and holding the back neck of the cat with the other hand. The thin light of the neon light was like a layer of light gauze, gently wrapped around the black umbrella.

Yayoi suddenly felt that this picture was magical.

The white cat that Satoru easily held in his hand meowed twice and kept hissing at him. The suppressed roar was contained in his throat, and the wet hair all exploded. The blue cat eyes were fierce, and he could even hear the sound of this particularly fierce cat grinding its teeth.

Satoru himself was so bad that he had no intention of letting the cat go even though the cat in his hand carried a very familiar smell.

He held an umbrella and carried someone else's cat in front of the cat owner. The framed sunglasses on his nose slid down his nose a little, slowly revealing the blue pupils, like the sky before dawn that faded away the chaotic haze.

"Is this your cat?" He curved the corners of his lips and showed Yayoi a smile that made her very familiar.

Yayoi was stunned on the spot. She had seen many big scenes in the past few years, but she had never seen this scene before.

"Meow!" Seeing Yayoi standing there dumbly, the tail of the big white cat exploded into a club. The sharp cat cry became more fierce and shrill in the cold night sky after the rain faded, like thunder exploding in the ear.

Yayoi came back to her senses, her amber eyes looked directly into Satoru's eyes, and her expression was deadly serious, "Please give my cat back to me."

The rain stopped, the layers of clouds were pushed away, the moonlight was bright and clear, like a handful of clear spring water in the mountains, and the amber eyes were reflected in it, shining with sparkling water.

The water drops from the red hair tips dripped down like beads with broken strings, and the wet red hair was obediently attached to the head.

"Meow..."
The cat's pale blue eyes softened, and after a moment, a bad premonition like the mist spreading silently in the mountains, seeping into the brain nerves little by little, the cat's eyes shrank violently into thin vertical pupils.

According to his personality, what would his wife do when she showed such a serious and cute expression?

The big white cat: "..."
Of course, tease her first and then hug her and kiss her!

...f*ck you! Beast, stay away from my wife!!!

Satoru, who was holding an umbrella in one hand and holding someone else's cat in the other, paused, tilted his head, and his expression was as innocent as a big cat, "But if I let go, he will catch me, right?"

Yayoi looked at the big cat in his hand, and happened to see the pale blue cat's eyes shrinking into a vertical pupil, and the suppressed fierce light overflowed from the cat's eyes like a flood.

Gojo the Cat: "..."
...the fish-stealing cat!!!

The fur that was wet by the rain softened in time and drooped wiltedly. The vertical pupils in the cat's eyes widened and rounded, and the originally sharp eyes looked harmless and cute. With this posture in the rain, the whole cat became pitiful.

"Meow..." The big white cat opened his innocent and pitiful big eyes and looked at her pitifully.

Yayoi's expression became more serious, and her amber eyes looked at the person holding the cat without blinking. She took a deep breath and said firmly, "Please give my cat back to me."

Gojo the Cat: "..."

The big white cat couldn't help shaking his ears, his heart was pounding, and he almost couldn't control herself from covering his face with his cat paws. Honey, don't use this expression, it's too cute.

As the big white cat expected, Satoru had no intention of returning the cat to the owner. He was just like an adult who was so bad that he had nothing to do and was teasing a child.

Satoru had a serious expression on his face. After thinking for a long time, he slowly said, "Okay."

The man standing in the middle of the road stood straight, like a pine tree, and easily lifted a large cat of outstanding size in the air like a cake.

The blinding white light exploded in front of the eyes. The bright light was like a sharp knife, and the cold blade cut through the black night.

The rotating tires rolled over the road and the puddles filled with dazzling neon lights. The speeding car was like a black beast, roaring deafeningly, and the cold rain splashed all the way.

The beast's precise intuition of predicting danger exploded in the nerves throughout the body in an instant, and the pupils suddenly contracted.

The car lights hit the man and the cat, as cold as falling frost and snow.

The air condensed in an instant, and a shadow broke into the field of vision. The bright red was like a red plum splashed on the snow. The beast-like ferocious creature pounced directly.

The thunder-like loud noise exploded in the quiet night sky of Tokyo, and the hot air that had been rolling all the way stopped in front of him.

As if the stop button was pressed at the same time, all the movements of the two Gojo creatures stopped in an instant. Satoru kept holding the cat, and the cat he was holding kept his four legs drooping. Two pairs of Six Eyes and four eyeballs, all looking at the red-haired woman in front who kept one hand on the hood.

This was a black Honda car, with a standard appearance. The originally smooth and transparent black hood was crumpled like a fragile newspaper. The violently damaged engine was forced to shut down, and white smoke rushed out of the gap in the hood into the night sky.

The person sitting in the driver's seat was also standard. The driver was wearing a black suit and a neat tie. When the streetlamps and colorful neon lights fell on the thin face with bruises under the eyes, Satoru felt that he has seen Ijichi version 2.0.

The accident happened so suddenly that the look of fear had not yet faded from the face of the person sitting in the driver's seat. His mouth was wide open enough to swallow a pineapple, and the bright light mixed with fear fell into his black pupils.

Especially when the other person reacted, the two pairs of Six Eyes saw that the other person's hands holding the steering wheel were shaking like Parkinson's. The two Gojo creatures agreed that this was Ijichi's relative.

Ijichi: Achoo!
Ijichi: ???

Satoru pursed his lips. What the hell, he skipped work to buy dessert and he could meet Ijichi's relatives.

Gojo the Cat pouted his lips. What the hell, he could meet Ijichi's relatives even if he became a cat.

Ijichi: Achoo!
Ijichi: ???

The engine was forced to shut down and continued to emit white smoke. Satoru kept holding the umbrella and raised the edge of the umbrella. Through the wet car window and the rich night of Tokyo, he saw the eyes reflected on the smooth car window. The flames in the pupils were like torches thrown into a dry well, carrying a ferocity that was almost like that of a ferocious beast. It seemed that the danger was over, and after the raging fire in the pupils subsided, the other person's eyes slowly returned to the amber color seen at the beginning, as clear as the surface of a spring lake.

Satoru tilted his head.

Ijichi's relative in the driver's seat was frightened. The red-haired woman who came to his senses looked at the smoking hood with a blank look for a moment, and then seemed to realize something, his eyes suddenly became sad. To describe it specifically, it was like the eyes of a naughty child who was about to be beaten when he got home after getting into trouble outside, confused.

Satoru couldn't help laughing out loud.

It was a strange combination of the ferocity of a wild wolf and the confusion of a house cat.

Realizing that she had made trouble, Yayoi hung her head, grabbed her red hair, ran to the car window dejectedly and knocked on the window. The person sitting in the driver's seat lowered the window tremblingly.

"I'm sorry, I broke your car, I'm very sorry." QAQ

The confused driver looked at the smoking hood, and then at the redhead with thin arms and a few pounds of flesh, and while she apologized with her head hung, her wet red hair also hung.

The middle-aged office worker who had not spoken for a long time swallowed his saliva, fearing that he would be beaten to death by this redhead if he said something wrong.

"I will compensate."

Yayoi hung her head, like a cat that had made a mistake, soft and harmless, and looked easy to bully.

The office worker in the driver's seat looked at the smoking hood again. The fierce eyes that were as fierce as wild wolves in the wilderness exploded in his mind, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

"No, no, no, it was me who violated the traffic rules. It's really great that no casualties were caused..."

"It's my fault. I will compensate..."

Before he finished speaking, there were two clicks, and the seat belt and the car door were opened one after another. The person in the driver's seat rolled out of the car and bowed deeply to Yayoi, apologizing frantically while bowing. Yayoi also bowed and apologized. The other person was almost scared to death and bowed harder. The two Gojo creatures seriously suspected that he would break his waist. As a result, they inexplicably became two people bowing and apologizing frantically to each other like two clockwork puppets on the streets of Tokyo.

The corners of his mouth lifted unconsciously, and Satoru finally couldn't help it. His unusually loud laughter exploded in the night sky after the rain. After waiting for the other person to laugh enough, the other person walked over slowly with long legs in the accusing eyes of Yayoi and the middle-aged man.

The final solution was a person who watched the show with evil eyes. The strongest person in the world of sorcery who regarded money as dirt compensated the other person with a sum of money, enough for him to buy a brand new Honda. The man was an office worker who stayed up late on a business trip and was rushing to the airport. There was a flight for him at the airport tonight. Satoru considerately called a taxi for him and gave the driver a few big bills in advance to pay the fare.

The two people and the cat stood on the street, watching the taxi dragging the shining lights of the car behind it, rolling up the water and disappearing from sight. The black Honda car that was ravaged by Yayoi lay pitifully on the side of the road.

The commotion just now was quite a big deal, and the relevant personnel would be here soon. Satoru contacted Ijichi to clean up the mess, and after explaining a few things, he hung up the phone. He turned around and saw Yayoi holding her cat and trying to run away.

Yayoi, who was about to run, was strangled by someone on the back of her neck. The collar on the back of her neck tightened, and the red-haired woman paused, like a broken machine, and turned back stiffly. When she saw Satoru's face, her expression was about to cry.

It made him want to tease her for some reason.

"Eh~ Are you just running away like this?" The white-haired man spoke slowly with a long tail tone in the sound of the cat's purring.

Yayoi froze and told him sadly, "I will pay you back."
Suddenly, she remembered that she smashed Yaga's building many years ago, and the person who cleaned up the mess for her was Satoru. Because it was an ancient building, Satoru lost a lot of money, and she needed to work for many years to pay it back.

The salary of a sorcerer was high, and the money of a Honda car was really nothing in the eyes of a sorcerer with a high salary.

Then the problem was, Yayoi was not only an illegal resident, but also a pauper. The few bills in her wallet were still the kind that could not be used. During this period, she ate Suguru's food, drank Suguru's drinks, and lived in Suguru's resident. It was all for free, and now she was still in debt.

"But I am not short of money~" Satoru, who exuded the glory of looking down on money, said slowly.

"Then what do you want?" Yayoi's expression was about to cry.
The white-haired cat in her arms almost had fire in his eyes.

"Actually, it's like this." Satoru blinked, and the light in his eyes flickered as bright as starlight, "I am actually a teacher, a teacher whose main job is to teach and educate people~"

Yayoi: "...oh."
Of course she knew.

"Do you know what the teacher is lacking?" Satoru bent down and almost put his face against Yayoi's face. The cat in her arms raised its cat claws to scratch the face that looked particularly hateful at this time, but it scratched in vain and fell on the invisible barrier.

Gojo the Cat: "..." ###
He had never felt that the Limitless was so hateful as it was now.

Yayoi shook her head.

"It's a student!" Satoru raised his voice slightly and said excitedly.

"Oh." The silly redhead hugged the cat with round eyes.

"In short, if you want to pay off your debt, just become my student~" Satoru raised his eyebrows and spoke like a profiteer, "How about it? The enrollment debt will be written off, and it's a sure win!"

As soon as the words fell, a cat face pressed against his face, the furry cat claws pressed against his face, and the soft meat pads pressed against his face, forcibly pressing down Satoru's face that wanted to come close.

The big white cat, who has been a professional with Limitless for more than 30 years, was very familiar with the application of Limitless automation. After the object of the technique became himself and became automated, he would only block things that threaten him. Of course, harmless things like cat paws would not be a threat.

#Damn, I want to scratch him to death!
Gojo the Cat was grinding his teeth.

Satoru, who was covered with paws, took off the cat paws on his face and pinched them. As a result, the cat was disgusted. The big white cat shook off his salty pig paws.

Yayoi paused and said seriously, "I graduated from college several years ago."

Satoru was stunned for a moment, and looked up and down at the red-haired girl who looked like a high school girl at this age, "...maji?"

Suspected by the other person, Yayoi was paralyzed, "My daughter is almost five years old."
Gojo the Cat, who was held in her arms, raised his tail.

Satoru: "...maji?"
Ssh, she's married and had a child, this was going to be hard...

"And I'm just an ordinary person." The redhead said seriously.

Satoru: "..."
The car you smashed with your bare hands was still on the side of the road, look at it again.

"I will pay you back, but I'm really an ordinary person, I don't have any cursed techniques or cursed energy!" The redhead, who lied with her eyes open, turned around and ran away, but was once again strangled by the back of her neck.

Gojo the Cat: "..." ##
A shameless and persistent cat that steals fish!!!

Yayoi: "..."

"I don't think... I've ever told you what cursed energy and cursed technique are." Satoru's cold voice came slowly from behind.

Yayoi: "..." QAQ
