After the human beings on Earth were connected to the "Space Hitchhiker's Guide", the popular culture of the entire universe has changed.

For example, the program that is being broadcast in the whole universe - "Cat God Paradise".

——————

"As you can see, I'm a cat."

A pair of dark eyes flashed in the dimly lit room.

The young editor at the door was full of astonishment, her delicate little feet stepped on a pair of small brown leather shoes, her well-proportioned legs were tightly wrapped in black pantyhose, and under the plaid skirt was the mysterious realm that belonged to the girl, and above that was the body as flat as a plain.

"Come out and stop kidding me, Natsume-sensei." The young light sound is crisp and pleasant, but the dissonant tremors in it represent horror.

"Are you kidding? I'm not kidding! Am I that bored? The dark green eyes stepped forward and said in a persecuting voice.

The short-haired lady in the beret at the door gradually saw the whole body of the voice, it was a cat, a somewhat strange cat.

The coat on the body is white and black, and the two eyes are surrounded by round black hair, which looks like a panda.

What's even more strange is that he also has a red triangular scarf tied around his neck, like a red scarf, but it should be facing forward at the back of his neck.

"Usually I don't see people, say, what are you doing here?" The strange cat spoke ordinary words, and although he was asking, he said it in a declarative tone.

"I ...... I'm here to urge the draft! The editor, who was in shock, finally remembered her own work and said slowly but firmly.

"Reminder? What is the draft? Which magazine are you from? I remember that all the manuscripts I should have submitted have been submitted, where to urge! The cat said as she squatted on the floor with her head raised.

"You're writing an interesting story, right...... But...... There's no ending...... There is no end to what you call me to send! It is rare to encounter such a good story, and the editor-in-chief specially instructed me to find a reminder according to the address where I submitted the manuscript. In other words, there are really not many teachers who submit their articles by email these days. ”

Although the editor is still a little nervous, her true character seems to have begun to be revealed. Maybe her editor-in-chief sent her to urge the draft, but she was also annoyed by her.

"Humph! You know what! It's called mutilated beauty! Don't you humans like to be beautiful? "Teacher Cat's round face looks a little puffed.

"Where...... Where do we humans like to be mutilated? "Miss Editor can't help but want to prove it for humanity.

"None? Not yet? Then you tell me, where did my balls go!? "The cat, named Natsume, no longer squatted, but made a very unsightly posture with its belly forward.

The editor watched the cat's movements, thinking back to its questioning just now, and wanted to say something, but she couldn't think of a reason to refute it.

It turns out that Natsume-sensei is a gelding cat......

It turns out that Natsume-sensei is full of hatred for humans......

"Natsume-sensei......" Miss Editor exclaimed tentatively.

"Huh?" The old cat looked up at the young editor.

"Inside...... This ......" She looked at Natsume-sensei's round cute face, looked at its big eyes, and couldn't speak.

Silence, the air is silent.

After a full two minutes, the editor spoke again, she crouched down and asked tentatively, "Natsume-sensei, can I touch you?" ”

"Touch me? What do I have to touch? Be careful I scratch your ......" Before its claws could reach out, it was stopped in the girl's arms.

"Hmm! It's so soft! The editor's tender hands hugged the more tender cat, and she lifted the soft body into her arms.

"Let go of me! Snore...... Let me go! Snoring......" Natsume struggled to resist, but there was a gurgling sound in his throat.

"Don't let go! Natsume-sensei, you're enjoying it! The young girl said as she buried her face in her hairy hot body.

"I didn't! I'm upset right now! ”

"Why are you purring! Cats purr when they're comfortable! ”

"I ...... I'm no ordinary cat! Natsume quibbled.

"What's not ordinary? It's not two eyes and a mouth, it's not like it can purr. "It's the first time the girl has communicated with a cat like this.

"I ...... Don't want to see the manuscript anymore! The cat threatened angrily.

"Okay...... Teacher Cat, you hate me so much! The girl reluctantly raised her head and looked at Natsume with tears in her eyes.

Natsume finally broke free from the clutches and sat on the floor, and said very seriously, "Don't you really want to publish? ”

"Your article is not finished, how can we publish it? As long as you take care of this ending, I promise you will be on fire! The editor said.

"Fire? I don't want to be angry. I just want someone to be able to read the words on the paper. Natsume shook his tail.

"Don't you want to make a lot of money?" The girl asked.

"Huh! Make hay! This house under my ass is all mine, what am I going to do with my money. Natsume's tone was full of disdain.

"It's all yours! This is available in the second ring! You're a cat! How can it be! The girl was surprised.

"What's there to be surprised about? Is there a law that says cats are not allowed to have big houses, you are racist! Besides, the small is hidden in the forest, and the big is hidden in the city, is there still a problem with my life in the city? ”

"No ......" The editor's world view was somewhat subverted, "I didn't expect you to be such a cat!" Since you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and you write because of your hobby, why not write an ending? Your story is really beautiful and especially infectious. ”

When Natsume heard the word "story", he raised his head sharply, a pair of pointed ears twitched, and he stood up and circled the editor girl a few times, pacing and saying, "I never wrote a story, I only recorded facts. ”

"The facts? You say what you wrote is true? The girl replied subconsciously.

"Of course! Of course what I said is true! Or else? Do you think I'm going to make up nonsense like a boring human and play with myself?

I'll tell you what I'm writing!

I'm writing about fragments of other worlds.

If what I wrote is forgotten, the world will dissipate.

If I finish writing, that world will also be facing the end.

So, Miss Editor, do you want to destroy the world? ”

"Natsume-sensei, don't joke...... Miss Editor was a little frightened when she saw the cat who was too serious, "What...... How could there be such a thing? ”

"Haven't you heard a cat talk before?" The cat's tone was serious, "Still don't believe me? To see is to believe? Pathetic two-legged beast, I'll show you there! ”

The cat stood up and flicked its tail.

The figure of a man and a cat is engulfed by an orange door.

There is a street on the other side of the door.

The pavement paved with bluestone slabs looks antique.

The editor, who often likes to wander around during the holidays, retrieved her head melon, but did not find any path similar to here.

"Here it is...... I remember that there was no such street in the Second Ring Road! Miss Editor shouted.

"This is the Hidden City." Natsume said back.

"Hidden City?" Miss Editor repeats the machine path.

"Purely literally, a small place hidden outside the ordinary world." As the cat spoke, it raised its front paws and blew the dust off the meat pad.

"We're here?" Miss Editor asked.

"Go to my workplace and prove to you what I wrote is what really happened in another world."

"Workplace, are you still at work?" Miss Editor asked, with long eyes.

"If I don't go to work, where did I get my big house?" Natsume said in an unkind tone, he took two steps forward, and found that the editor didn't follow, so he couldn't help urging, "You hurry up and follow, otherwise where will you go in a while, I'm not sure." ”

"If I stand still here, can I go anywhere else?"

"Of course, there are eighteen floors here. It's not the eighteen floors upstairs and downstairs, but the place where you stand, and at the same time the eighteen-story space is compounded, and where you are in high phase, you will go to which floor. ”

The cat explained impatiently.

"Eighteenth floor? Sounds like hell! Miss Editor reluctantly joked.

"Huh! You're right! This is hell. However, in recent years, Hell has begun to digitize office, and big data has been reborn, which is much more efficient. This layer of hell was vacated, so it lent us a hidden city.

A human like you, if you just look at your physiognomy, it is estimated that you will soon go to other layers.

However, I don't know whether to go to Nai Ho Bridge or Ghost Street.

It's okay to go to Nai He Bridge, at least Meng Po soup can still be entered.

If you go to the ghost town, beware of them buying and selling, and stew broken internal organs, clotted blood, tangled tentacles, godless eyes, twisted plants, shriveled limbs, mutilated brains, and scarlet fruits for you to eat, and make you pay the same price. ”

"You...... Don't scare me......" The editor had many indescribable images reflected in her head.

Natsume walked slowly forward with cat steps, "It's good to do it yourself." ”

"Mr. Natsume, Mr. Natsume, you see that you are so tired of walking, why don't I carry you away." The editor saw that the cat in front of her ignored herself, gritted her teeth, and the small leather shoes "clicked" on the ground and left a string of sounds, and picked up the cat.

The cat that was picked up said with a look of disdain, "Are you scared?" ”

"I ...... I didn't have ...... If I hold Natsume-sensei, I won't go to the ghost town......" The editor said with her mouth close to Natsume's ear, and the slight air current, blowing on the fluff of its ears, made him shake his ears sensitively.

"No, no." Natsume rubbed his ears with his paws and said angrily, "Timid editor, please keep walking, see the alley in front of you, turn left." ”

"Ahh Be! With that, the sound of leather shoes touching the ground came from the alley again.

"What are you doing in a daze, push the door and go in." The cat in the girl's arms snorted.

"What is here...... Miss Editor raised her head, looked at the plaque hanging on the door, from right to left, it read "Persona Division", grabbed Natsume-sensei in her arms with her right hand, and pushed the door open with her left hand and asked, "You work here." ”

"Hmm...... Snore...... Snoring...... Natsume, who was snoring from the touch, squinted his eyes and said, "See there's a well there, jump down." ”

"Huh? Do you really want to jump into a well? Wouldn't it be good for me and you to sit quietly here? ”

"Oh no, I don't like to fish during working hours. Don't worry, the well is like the Alice in Wonderland hole, a gateway to another world. ”

"Then I jumped ......"

"Let's jump......"

"Ahh

The screams of the editor's lady reverberated outward from the wellhead and spread throughout the hidden city.

The fox who was drinking tea next door to Persona put down his teacup and said, "It seems that the cat next door has found a new tool man." ”

………………

The yellow sand was swept up by the fierce wind, and the sun hung in the sky.

"There's a lot of sand, the sun is good, and this is the Taklamakan Desert? What about my sunscreen? The girl subconsciously wanted to get sunscreen out of her bag, but halfway through her action, she suddenly realized that she didn't bring a bag at all.

Only then did she remember the plush in her arms, and she lowered her head and asked, "Natsume-sensei, why are you now?" ”

Before the furry could speak, he heard someone from a short distance say, "Is this the new person this time?" ”

The editor followed the voice and saw a strong man who was at least one meter nine tall, and while looking at the strong man, she whispered to Natsume in her arms, "Teacher, is this your colleague?" ”

The furry in his arms said contemptuously, "Who are colleagues with them?" If I were a civil servant, they would be a group of temporary labor dispatch workers with tripartite contracts. Or a temporary worker who doesn't work and just makes trouble! ”

When it comes to them, Natsume is very angry, he has been messed up by these guys too many times.

"Don't panic, everyone, come to me first to get the basic rookie equipment." The "veteran" of 1.93 meters continued.

"They seem to be quite enthusiastic!" Miss Editor whispered.

"They like it." The cat tugged at the corners of her mouth.

"Shall I get it?"

"Take it! Why not take it? No money anyway! The cat said with teeth and claws, "It's better if you take more, and make them all poor!" ”

"Natsume-sensei......" Miss Editor screamed indescribably, feeling that the great image that had been cast in her heart was slowly collapsing.

"Hello, young lady, do you need a starter gear?" In the real world, a fitness coach, a strong man with a height of 1.93 meters came over and said.

"I ...... Wanted two servings, one for me and my cat. The editor said.

"Cat...... You've got a cat with you, have you? It's the first time I've ever seen someone who brought a cat into a mission. But...... Never mind...... These are two pieces of newbie gear. If you still need other equipment, you can go to the points mall after the mission is over, and if you can survive to the end of the mission......"

After the veteran strong man finished speaking, he continued to ask, is there anyone who needs novice equipment." ”

"Mr. Natsume, what is the Points Mall? Can I use it when I go out? Miss Editor asked.

"Of course not, only their temporary workers can be used when they leave the other world, but I can use them directly here!" The cat laughed.

"Natsume-sensei......"

"Huh? What about my newbie gear? ”

"I've already sold that garbage to the mall."

"Oh......"
