Chapter 22: The mystery of the cat mansion

One week had passed since I began living with Misha .
She continued supporting me in the dungeon . However, she still refused to do any chores at homes .
Misha told me this:
[I am just a cat and my pride as a cat prevent me from doing chores]
I could only reply with [Yes, I see] after she used pride as her reason .

Since that’s the case, Misha became extremely free during days where we are not going into the dungeon .
Although this is how she used to be in the past, but it became a thorn to my eyes now that she is in a beastkin form .

First of all, let’s talk about her sleeping habit .
I am not complaining about things like oversleeping every morning but instead about her napping immediately after every meal without me noticing .
Furthermore, she slept on the floor most of the time .
It would not be out of the norm if she did this in her cat form but it gave me a shock when she also did this occasionally in her beastkin form .

[Oi, stop rolling on the floor . It is dirty even though you are on the carpet]
[Jaaa, Goshujin-sama, carry me to the bed]
This is Misha way of fawning over me .
Because of how she is acting, I have no other choice but carry her to the bed .

Well, I would also take naps on days where we are not going to the dungeon so I have no rights to lecture her —
I lie on the bed and prepared to nap .
I would be all fine if she stayed her cat form but my heart would flutter when she remains in her beastkin form .

[Let’s sleep together, Goshujin-sama ~]
This isn’t any weird intention behind her words at this moment, so the correct choice would be to immediately sleep before the atmosphere became weird .

Despite saying that, there are several times where I wrongly guessed her intention and it is extremely mentally tiring for me to second guess .
A black hair nekomimi girl in the bed with me, and despite shampoo not existing in this world, I could still smell a sweet fragrance coming from her hair .
I am suspecting that this is a new form of prank on me .
On a side note, there isn’t any problem with kissing as we kissed all the time .
Whether she is in her beastkin form, or her cat form, she would always lick my face .

In addition, she would also disrupt when I am cleaning or cooking .
To be specific, she would hug me from behind in her beastkin form .
This might be a natural instinct of a cat .
If you ignore a cat and started reading newspaper on your bed or desk, they will naturally jump and sit on the newspaper .
There would also be time where they will block your computer screen .
These are all methods to catch our attention .
Cats will always look disinterested when you approach them to play, but will come on their accord during time when they wanted to play .

And on that day too, Misha suddenly hugged me from behind when I was cooking stew .
[Hey, don’t do that . I am cooking so it’s dangerous]
[Eh~, but I’m bored . Let’s play with ball]
Misha was just chasing a ball while reading a difficult grimoire until a moment ago . (T . L not sure how she did that?)

[Just wait a moment . I am unable to stop right now]
[Jaaa~, I will steal a bite]
In the end, she ate the fruit that was supposed to be the dessert after dinner .
[You are too free]
[Because, I’m a cat]

In this way, Misha lived as she pleased but —
The following day, Misha suddenly appeared to be serious .
She did not take an afternoon nap nor explore the neighborhood .

[I am going shopping, so do you want to come along?]
[I will stay at home today, I have work to do]
[You didn’t accept any work]
[No matter what, I am not planning on going out]

I am feeling something suspicious . Last time, she would definitely follow me when I go ouy .
Since I am being neglected, I felt slightly lonely . I thought that I am slightly selfish so I quickly finish shopping and went home .
A white cat appears in the house .

[Ah, Misha – or not!]
Misha is a black cat .
So, where did the white cat appears from?

I observed the white cat but could not find a clue .
Just when I’m thinking about this situation while walking towards the kitchen — An Abyssinian-looking cat appears this time .
[Nyaa?]
The Abyssinian cat seemed to be asking [Who, are you nyan?] .
No way, I could understand them!
I should be the one asking you that!

Suddenly, a fluffy cat appeared from behind and rubbed against my leg .

[Just how many are there!]

Just what on earth happen here…
It suddenly became a cat mansion .

[Ahh, Goshujin-sama, I am slightly surprised…]
Misha came running here in her beastkin form .
[I made a few friends when I was walking in the neighborhood in my cat from, so I invited them in]
[I see… speaking of which, how many cats did you invite in?
[8 of them]
This is more than I expect!

I finally solve the mystery .
Although the mystery is solved, the main problem still remains .

[Nee~, Goshujin-sama, I have a request]
Misha looked at me with upturned eyes .
It’s coming .
[All the children here, can we adopt them?]
It’s here!
The request of keeping cats .

Speaking of which, this is not a rented apartment so there are no issues with keeping pets and it should be fine if we trained them not to scratch the furniture .
As adventurers, we have the financial capabilities to support them .
Hence, it should be fine since we have the power to take care of them .


Furthermore, I am a cat person so I can easily accept her request .

[I understand . Let’s adopt them]

Misha also wanted friends .
Although I would be slightly lonely if she has more friends .
[Uwaaah! Goshujin-sama, I love you the most!]
Misha hugged me . If I panicked every time she hugged me, I would lose my dignity as her master so I need to appear calm .

[However, you have to be responsible for training and taking care of them]
In this way, it might be a good thing for Misha to hold some responsibilities .
[Eh? Why, must I do all this?]
She stared at me in puzzlement .
Her response is out of my expectation!

[No,no . no! You, this is where the person wanting to keep the cats, agree to properly take care of them!]
[These children are cats . I am also a cat so I do not have the rights to manage them]
That’s right, Misha is also a cat .
She does not have the human concept of taking care of others .

[Well, at least tell them not to scratch the wall of this mansion…]
[Un, I could do this!]

And this is how our new house became known as the cat mansion .
