Section 960: Growing Pains VII.
Something is wrong with the cat girls - Marceau is convinced of this, because they don't eat together, don't play together, and even bask in the sun separately.
There was no other explanation for this than to cut off the seat, and the strange thing was that neither Flame nor other cat girls squeaked, which made Marceau very worried while puzzled.
What's wrong with them?
With this question in mind, Marceau called the flame to the rooftop.
"What's wrong with us?" Flame seemed a little puzzled as to why Marceau asked the question, she paused for a moment, then shook her head with a smile, "That's our cat girl's own business. ”
"You grew up together, what can make you choose to break up, is there a quarrel. Marceau watched as Flame walked to her side, and the two cats leaned against the railing on the rooftop, feeling the warmth of the afternoon sun.
Flame narrowed his eyes, then sighed, "We have a showdown." ”
"Huh?" Marceau said he couldn't understand the meaning of the word 'showdown'.
"Kyoko and I chose you, Asami and Madoka chose Al, and Sayaka resented you and El for letting us break up...... It's that simple. Flame raised his right hand and used it to block the direct sunlight, and then continued: "We five meows, we have agreed since we were very young, we have similar interests and opinions, and we will eat together and hunt together in the future...... It's just a pity that we like different members of the opposite sex. ”
"I know you'll choose me, but I don't seem to have any merit at all about apricots. Marceau doesn't think it's a love saint, but Apricot's door-to-door delivery attitude makes him very ...... Scratching your head.
"You're just clumsy, Marceau. Repeating what Kyoko had said that day, Flame withdrew her hand and leaned on Marceau's shoulder as the cat girl snorted softly, "They won't know what I've been through...... I've witnessed their weddings, I've seen them regret their choices when they were younger, and I've seen so many stories...... Al is like a normal male cat, and he has all the shortcomings of male cats...... And you, you are more like a wonderful alien, your cat ears and cat tail are more like a disguise, and at that time, I was a prey attracted by your gentle trait, and accidentally walked into a trap called life...... Ah, it reminds me of the beauty of the beginning. ”
"It's going to be better in the future, but I really don't know why Apricot chose me, gentleness can't be eaten as a meal, I'm under a lot of pressure right now. "To tell the truth, the girls' next birthday present has already made Marceau close to bankruptcy - yes, that's right, even if he has made a lot of money in the past few years, but when he thinks that it is really going to be the day of marriage, the money in the hands of the cat cub is really not enough to buy this and that.
"What's the matter, now that you're thinking about buying rings for Akemi, have you saved enough money?"
"Of course they're enough, and you're enough, but Penny and Changjiu, and now there's more apricots......" Speaking of these three, Marceau really doesn't know what to buy, the two girls are not like Akemi and Minen, even if they buy a plastic ring, they can be happy for a long time, and they are not like Annie, who can be satisfied by just giving a masonry bracelet, and not like Yang and Jiuye, they prefer Marceau to buy materials and make jewelry that satisfies them.
"How about buying three more sets of materials and building three sets yourself. ”
"That's no problem, I really don't know what kind of materials can be used. ”
Because of his lame legs, in addition to exercising in the real network, as well as studying, Marceau prefers to make some small things - at least cheaper than buying finished products, although his grandfather and grandmother of the Su family are not good at making, but the cat cub seems to be born with the same, he is better at repairing and making, rather than like his mother, something falls on her hands...... Wait to be disemboweled.
"Apricot I know that her favorite is agate, and this thing is not expensive, many mining planets produce it, and only the Cylisians and a very few kittens will like their products. Flame gave Marceau an idea, and then she noticed Marceau get up: "What's the matter, can you go offline and make it now." ”
"No, I'm going to take you to find Apricot now, and then to Asami and Madoka, although you have different choices, but ...... Why should you end your friendship? Marceau asked.
Then, without waiting for an answer, the cat cub took Flame's hand and walked downstairs: "Love and friendship are the most precious, don't give up easily." ”
………………
With one hand dragging the flame and the other dragging the apricot, Marceau strode to the single room that Sayaka had just tidied up, and curled the sheathed dagger with his tail in the ...... Slam the door.
Sayaka opened the door, then closed it with lightning speed, and the kitten let go of both hands and slammed the door frantically: "My tail is clamped!"
Sayaka opened the door again, and this time, the kitten simply dragged the cat girls into the room.
"Why are you coming. Although he couldn't help but look at Marceau's somewhat deformed tail, Sayaka still didn't give the kitten cub in front of him a good look.
"I've heard about you. Marceau replied as he magically healed and snapped his tail.
"What's the matter of our cat girl, it's not your turn to solve it. Shayaka pointed to the door, "Go out." ”
"Why, just because they chose different people, do you have to die of old age, isn't it too much to do this? Marceau shook his head, and the cat cub, who said that he would not leave, asked loudly: "I will not leave, as long as you and Apricot, Fire, and Asami do not reconcile for a day, I will not leave." ”
Then a pillow fell on Marceau's face, and the blue-eyed cat girl pouted: "A good annual party, it was so pleasant, but because of the matter between you and Al, our friendship came to the brink of collapse, I don't know whether the friendship between our cat girls is precious, or the instinct to choose a mate to manipulate them, why, why do you want to appear in our life trajectory!
"Request?" Marceau turned to look at Flame.
Yan Gan coughed: "Shayega, cats have nine lives, but they will also die from talking too much. ”
“…… I'm sorry. Rarely, Sayaga apologized with a pout.
"What do you mean by asking?" Marceau looked at Flame.
“…… Okay, it's all your fault, Sayaka, when this matter is over today, you can go to the one who apologizes yourself......" After speaking, Flame turned to look at Marceau, who had a look of 'I want an answer': "In that life, it was your great-grandfather who asked me to take care of you. ”
"My ...... Great-grandfather?" Marceau said he really didn't have enough head.
"What life?" said Sayaga's eyes were running out of focus.
"It's a very interesting story, you and Apricot don't know, and I'm going to tell it, but I'm going to say the ugly thing in front of you, if you want to know the secret, you have to swear to follow Mr. Marceau with me. Yan said so seriously.
Marceau almost laughed out loud, please, Flame, how could a cat girl with a will like Sayaga change her camp for the sake of a little secret, what are you kidding?
"Okay, but if you dare to lie to me, I'll fight with you!" Sayaga nodded vigorously.
Marceau slammed it, and then slapped himself in the face - Miss Sayaka, what about your strong will, your steely mentality, didn't you say that Ben Meow was the murderer who tore apart the boat of your friendship!
As if noticing the collapse on Marceau's face, Sayega glanced at Marceau: "I also thought about it yesterday, what you said is good, the cat girl has a difference in this life, it's just who she marries, you have Sister Kyoko here...... So, I thought I could give it a try. ”
"Hey, don't you blame me?" The loveless apricot suddenly seemed to be reborn, and she was instantly recolored from the original gray and white cat girl, and she happily hugged her sister.
"Okay, okay, don't hug so tightly, Flame hasn't shared the story she made up yet. Although he reconciled with Kyoko, Sayaka still glared at Flame: "I want to hear what story she has to tell." ”
Flame sat down on the armrest of the couch beside her, and she motioned for the girls to sit down, and then for Marceau to sit on the couch beside her.
After the three of them were seated, Flame spoke: "This story starts with me accepting the request, it's a very long story, so I don't know if you have the patience to listen to it." ”
"Let's say, at least this patience, as the daughter of the Bai family, I still have it. Sayaka said solemnly.
"Well, the beginning of this is when I came to Paronst in 1848. ”
"Wait a minute, it's only 1849!" said Sayaga, gesturing to the calendar in his hand.
"You also said that you were patient, and that you wanted to listen to the story I was making. Meaningfully elongating his voice, Flame looked at Sayaka with an unhappy expression.
The blue-eyed cat girl was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, I won't interrupt you again." ”
So Flame began to tell her story, when it came to her and Marceau's life and separation, and finally developed into a death parting, the cat girl was already in a state of complete stunned, just when Flame took the tea to moisten her throat, and signaled the cat girl in front of her to have something to say, Sayaka pointed to Marceau: "Mr. Marceau, do you really believe these nonsense of Flame?!"
"If I weren't like her, I'd react the same way you do. Marceau smiled and reached out to hold Flame's hand: "I'm dead, but I'm back before 1845." ”
“…… You're singing a double reed!" Sayaga stood up.
"You haven't finished listening to the story we've made. Marceau and Flame said in unison.
Sayaka looked at Marceau, then at Flame, and finally sat back beside Apricot with an aggrieved expression.
