CHAPTER XVII
"So, can you give me a touch?"
Hearing this, I guessed the most fundamental reason why Takahashi-senpai would stop me, it seems that this guy has no resistance to cute things at all.
"I don't know what the name of the cat is, but Senior Sister Takahashi has no malicious intentions, so be honest."
I didn't know if the animal could really understand me, but I still persuaded the cat like this, and Takahashi-sani stood aside and looked at me expectantly.
"Okay, let's try it, although there's no guarantee that it will work."
Hearing my words, Senior Sister Takahashi slowly stretched out her hand and gently touched the cat's head, and then, maybe my words really worked, or he also noticed that the beautiful girl in front of him was not malicious, in short, this cat did not reject Senior Takahashi anymore.
"Uh......h Didn't dodge it, it's soft, fluffy and comfortable......"
Seeing that the cat did not dodge, Senior Sister Takahashi touched the little head with confidence, and at the same time showed a happy smile on her face.
What?,It's so mysterious in the rumors.,Isn't it a very ordinary girl.,Like cute things.,And show such a happy smile...... Ah, can't think any more! If you accidentally fall into some strange territory, you're in trouble!
Maybe it's because Takahashi-samachi is a little too pretty, and I've been a little messy in my head.
"Ahh Sure enough, I still want to hug it! ”
Suddenly, a fragrant breeze hit my nose, and then I only felt a light in my arms, and I saw that the cat ran into Takahashi-senpai's arms for some reason.
Took the cat from me so easily...... This agility is terrifying...... If you just look at the appearance, it's just an ordinary beautiful girl.
"It's so cute, I really want to take it home and raise it~ I can't bear to let you go like this......"
Sister Takahashi, who is holding the cat, has obviously risen a notch in her happiness index, but what I care more about now is ...... Because the cat was held right on the senior sister's chest, the senior sister's chest was a little dented under the squeeze.
If I were that cat......
My brain did an evil brain make-up without permission, and then I immediately came to my senses, quickly shook my head, and drove out all the inexplicable thoughts.
Akihiko Sakamoto! What are you thinking? The other party is a senior sister I just met!
After yelling at myself like this, I finally calmed down.
Then, Takahashi-senpai returned the cat to me with some reluctance.
"Thank you, thanks to you I can hug this child well, as a thank you gift, I don't care about the rude words before."
So you were still thinking about it until now......
"Why don't you try to raise it?"
"No...... I'd love to, but my home doesn't allow small animals. ”
Senior Sister Takahashi showed a regretful smile, and then her face suddenly changed, and she regained her appearance at the school gate in the morning, exuding a powerful aura, and the approachable Senior Sister Takahashi who was the sister next door before was almost as if it was a fake.
"Then leave it at that, Sakamoto-kun, it's nice to meet you."
Although the senior sister is still smiling, she doesn't have the feeling of closeness before, it is a formulaic smile. The contrast between the front and back made me feel very awkward, and I didn't know what to react to for a while.
"Also, please keep the previous incident a secret."
At this moment, Takahashi-senpai reverted back to her previous approachable appearance, then returned to her formulaic smile, nodded at me, and turned away.
After watching the back of Takahashi-senpai leave, I touched the cat in my arms.
"When you encounter cute things, you can't help but show your true side, but you usually live with a mask, and it's really hard to live, you say yes, I don't know the name of the little guy."
"Meow~"
As if in response to me, the cat in my arms meowed.
"Well, I'll take you to eat now."
……
"Little one, it's delicious, I'll send you to your new home when you're done."
I looked at the little guy eating cat food in front of me and smiled faintly.
Then, when the cat was full, I picked him up and walked towards the shelter.
After walking a bit of a bit, though, I ran into some trouble.
I was surrounded by six thugs.
"Oh, is this really, is that the case?"
I glanced at the six people surrounding me, and then I couldn't help but smile bitterly, today's situation is even worse than last time, first of all, the space here is much narrower than the school gate, and it is easier to be besieged, and secondly, today's group of guys are ruthless today, I saw two people holding daggers that are bright.
Coupled with the little guy in my arms, there is no chance of winning at all......
At this time......
If you don't run, you're brain-dead!
I didn't think about it, but one of them rolled over and jumped onto the wall next to me, and after a moment of scrambling to get my balance right, I just ran on top of the wall.
The thugs who surrounded me obviously didn't expect me to come to this set, and they were all slightly stunned, and then the leading guy immediately reacted.
"Give me chase!"
At his command, all the thugs chased after me.
After running down a street and throwing the thugs off for a short distance, I got back on the ground and kept running.
I can't beat you, can't I get rid of you?
However, as I turned the next corner, I saw an unexpected figure.
...... Takahashi?
After a brief moment of surprise, I remembered what I should have done best.
"Don't stand there! Run! ”
However, Takahashi-sana didn't turn and run away when she heard my shout, but leaned towards me, and I could see her gradually accelerating, then suddenly leaping up, passing past me, and then completing a beautiful roundhouse kick in mid-air.
"Tom!"
Takahashi-senpai's attack hit the leader of the gangsters who were in hot pursuit, and the guy was kicked hard in the chest, and then the whole person flew up, and he flew out more than two meters before falling to the ground again.
Takahashi-senpai, who fell back to the ground, stood between me and the gangsters, looking at each other coldly. And those gangsters didn't know what was going on, and they all showed frightened expressions, and they didn't dare to approach this side at all.
What's the secret here......
I'm sure the reason why this group of gangsters don't dare to approach is definitely not because of scruples about Takahashi-senpai's strength, there are other reasons for this.
"Ahem! You are ......"
At this time, the leader of the gangsters who was kicked away coughed and got up, and when he saw Senior Sister Takahashi in front of him, his face suddenly changed, and then without saying a word, he just turned his head and left.
"That's all for today, all withdraw!"
Actually just left?
I couldn't help but be surprised to see the gangsters retreating like this, this group of guys is menacing today, and at first glance, they came with the purpose of letting me go to the hospital for a long stay, and they retreated so simply?
Takahashi-senpai...... Who the hell are you?
I couldn't help but cast a complicated look at the beautiful girl beside me, but the other party turned around and smiled slightly, and asked in a calm voice, "Sakamoto-kun, aren't you injured?" ”
"Ah...... It's okay, don't look at me like this, I still have some ability. ”
"Hehe, I can see it." Senior Sister Takahashi suddenly showed an expectant expression, "That, I helped you just now, right?" ”
"yes, that helped a lot......"
I can't help but be a little puzzled, Senior Sister Takahashi's attitude is a little strange now.
"Na, since I helped you, you should also repay me~"
I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when I heard Senior Sister Takahashi's words, and then smiled bitterly, what kind of calculation is this guy making, no matter how you look at her, she doesn't look like the kind of person who will help others and then ask for returns......
"That...... That's it. ”
"In that case, can you take this guy back and raise it?"
Huh? What do you say?
I looked at the cat leaning into my arms.
"You say...... He? ”
"Well, you're going to send him to a hospice, right? If that's the case, he'll probably be adopted soon, right? Then I thought it would be very difficult to see this child again, and you know that the situation in my family does not allow this little one to be raised, and even in that case, it is better to beg you. You'll say yes, right? ”
Takahashi-senpai showed me an expectant expression, and as a normal boy, I couldn't say a "no" to her like this.
"Okay, I'll give it a try."
If you think about it, my mother likes cute things, so as long as she passes that level, there should be no problem......
"Thank you so much, Sakamoto-kun is really like I thought, a good person~"
Belch...... I was issued a good person card so quickly......
I smiled wryly as I watched as Takahashi-senpai turned around and left here.
After Senior Sister Takahashi's figure couldn't be seen at all, I couldn't help but raise the cat in my arms: "You guy, you really brought me an affair, and you have maintained this affair, what should I say......"
"Meow~"
"Speaking of which, since I decided to raise you, I have to come up with a name, and I don't know your gender yet."
Maybe it was shyness, but the cat started to shake its limbs wildly after hearing my words, but it didn't mean to hurt me.
"Ah, it's Miss Cat, it's not 'him' but 'she', little guy, I thought you were Mr. Cat before, I'm really sorry."
I smiled and hugged the cat again and touched her head.
"In that case, it's better to have a more foreign name, it's not very popular in English now, then call you 'Alice', Alice."
"Meow~"
"Looks like you like the name, Alice."
"Meow~"
"Excuse me, Alice, then."
"Meow~"
In this way, I hugged Alice and had a conversation that I was not sure if we could understand each other, and walked in the direction of home.
Then, the Sakamoto family added a small new member.
