Chapter 839
His sharp gaze was cast toward the source of the sound.
He saw a cat with snow-white fur crouching outside the windowsill, not knowing when it had arrived.
It was exactly that little white cat that often came to "beg for food."
At this moment, it was not licking its paws elegantly or waiting quietly as usual.
Instead, it straightened its body, and a pair of round, blue eyes like glaze were looking through the glass, looking left and right at the room.
When its gaze locked onto the three people beside the warm table, especially when it saw Natsume Chikage—
Those beautiful cat eyes seemed to widen a little instantly.
Immediately after, the little white cat raised its head and let out a series of loud "meows" with obvious emotion toward the inside of the window!
"Meow——! Meow——!!"
That cry was not as soft as when it was begging for food, but carried a sense of... anger and accusation.
As if questioning: "Where did you go?!"
This sudden movement immediately interrupted the thoughts of Natsume Ruri and Kaga Reisa.
The two turned their heads in unison, looking at the windowsill with blank faces.
"Eh? Is it the little white cat?"
"Why did it come at this time?"
"It sounds like... it's very angry?"
"Is it hungry?"
"I'll try with a cat treat..."
Natsume Ruri said, skillfully taking out a cat snack from the drawer, tearing open the packaging, and bringing it to the window.
However, the little white cat, which would usually rush over impatiently upon smelling the scent, only glanced at the cat treat handed out today.
Then, it actually... turned its head away!
It continued to "meow" even louder toward the room.
Its body also walked back and forth on the windowsill anxiously.
Natsume Ruri and Kaga Reisa looked at each other, both somewhat confused.
"What's wrong with the little white cat today?"
"I don't know... it seems it's not just hungry..."
"Is it feeling unwell somewhere?"
Natsume Chikage was also somewhat confused at first.
But soon, his gaze swept over the new layout and strange furnishings in the living room...
A thought flashed through his mind like lightning.
He suddenly realized, and then couldn't help but laugh or cry.
"I know why it's so angry..."
Natsume Ruri heard her brother's voice and immediately turned her head, asking curiously:
"Brother, do you know why the little white cat is so angry?"
Natsume Chikage looked at the white cat outside the window that was still "scolding," as if it had suffered a great grievance, and explained with a suppressed smile:
"We... didn't we just move yesterday?"
"Moved from that three-mat small house to here now."
He pointed outside the window.
"This little foodie, the little white cat, very likely waited for us at the windowsill of the three-mat shack we used to live in yesterday evening, just like usual."
"As a result, it waited from dawn until dark, and never waited for us to open the window, nor did it wait for its beloved cat treat."
"Today, it probably wandered around the neighborhood for a long time based on its sense of smell, and finally found us."
"As a result, when it saw us staying comfortably in the new home..."
"It felt like it had been 'abandoned,' waited for a night in vain, so... now it's very angry and is protesting to us."
After Natsume Ruri heard this, she was stunned for a moment, then laughed out, her eyes curving into beautiful crescents.
"If you put it that way... it really is very likely!"
"The little white cat runs over to ask for food on time almost every night."
"We started packing and moving very early yesterday, and didn't return to the old house at all at night."
"It must have waited for a long, long time and didn't see anyone. Today it finally found this place and discovered that we actually 'moved' without telling it, and didn't take it with us, so it threw a tantrum!"
Kaga Reisa also couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, her voice soft:
"I think so too..."
"The memory and temper of cats are sometimes really like children."
Natsume Chikage shook his head with a smile and took the cat treat that had been "disliked" from his sister's hand.
He walked to the window, extended the cat treat, and handed it to the little white cat.
"Alright, alright, I know you're hungry, eat quickly."
The little white cat on the windowsill first haughtily turned its head away, letting out an unsatisfied "purr" from its throat.
But the familiar scent of the cat treat, mixed with the scent on Natsume Chikage that made it feel at ease, finally made it unable to resist completely.
It slanted a glance at Natsume Chikage with those blue eyes.
Then, it reluctantly and slowly approached and began to lick the cat treat in small bites.
Watching this scene, Natsume Ruri and Kaga Reisa both felt that the little white cat was indeed easy to coax.
Anger is anger, but with food in front of it, any grievance can be temporarily put down.
However.
The little white cat only ate a few bites before its movements stopped.
It raised its head, licked its mouth with its pink tongue, but had no intention of continuing to eat.
It just crouched there, narrowing those beautiful blue eyes, staring at Natsume Chikage without blinking.
That look seemed to carry scrutiny and a hint of... disgust?
Just as if saying: "Shovel-poop-officer, you changed your heart and forgot me, not to mention. The tribute you gave me also tastes worse! Heh, men!"
Natsume Ruri looked at the little white cat in surprise, and then at the cat treat that still had a large half left.
"Eh? Strange..."
"It used to eat all the cat treats given to it happily."
"Why didn't it eat much today?"
She was a little worried.
"Is it really feeling unwell?"
Natsume Chikage looked at the little white cat's "lack of interest" and even somewhat "picky" appearance, and was stunned for a moment.
But soon, he also understood the reason.
His heart couldn't help but feel amused, and a little helpless.
This guy... its mouth was really spoiled.
It likely sensed that today's cat treat lacked that unique "special flavor" that it dreamed of.
——That mysterious effect that could enhance the flavor of food, which came from the "Broken Oden Immortal's Tang Shao."
And now, that soup spoon was in the repair workshop of the Ando family, waiting to be retrieved the day after tomorrow.
Without the "bonus" of the soup spoon, ordinary cat treats for this foodie cat that had tasted "supreme deliciousness" were probably really just "tasting like wax."
So, it would show this unsatisfied expression of "you are perfunctory to me."
However, if it weren't for the little white cat's picky behavior today, he would have almost forgotten—
This little guy had only been fond of food "processed" by that special soup spoon from the beginning.
Without the "Broken Oden Immortal's Tang Shao," wanting to "conquer" this foodie little white cat with picky taste...
I'm afraid, it really wouldn't be an easy thing. ===== CHAPTER 840 =====
