Chapter 154: Cats?
"Hey, hey, are you sure you're going to find that youkai who can see the condition of a human body today?" I looked at Tsubaki as he packed his luggage and said, "Also, what's going on with you?"
Tsubaki and I have been to many places, but most of the time she turns into cats and leaves, and this is the first time she has packed her bags so seriously.
"What's the matter, you humans are only allowed to go out and bring something, and youkai can't bring anything?" Tsubaki said unhappily, "If youkai are exquisite, they are much more refined than you humans." She said as she placed a small mirror in her case.
"Okay, let's not talk about that," I pointed to the small white suitcase in front of Tsubaki, "where did this come from?"
She put the fish neatly in the box, "Guan Qing gave it to me." ”
“... When did Guan Qing give it to you?"
"Some time ago," she patted her white suitcase with satisfaction, "I asked him if he had a suitcase suitable for me, and he sent someone to bring me one, how about it, it still matches me quite well, right?"
"Why do you suddenly want a suitcase?" I asked, "and you want to just talk to me?"
"You?" Tsubaki gave me a look in disbelief, "Forget it, you're so poor..."
“... I also have a part-time job to earn money. "I feel like I'm being looked down upon by this white cat.
"You better keep the money for yourself," Tsubaki said, "and I didn't ask for this box for nothing, but I did a great favor to clear it." ”
"What did you help him?"
"Help him choose a gift for You Zhen. She said proudly, "Youkai can understand the meaning of youkai." ”
"How come I've never heard you say..."
"You're busy. She finished, "There's a box that's just different, it looks like it's more human." ”
"I have two questions. ”
Tsubaki's eyes were full of disdain, "You have a lot of questions today, and you refuse to answer." ”
"Answered: There are small dried fish. ”
"That's also refusal. ”
"Double. ”
“... Okay, you ask. ”
How the so-called foodie was born.
"First," I stretched out my index finger, "it seems to me nothing wrong with you carrying a suitcase, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it is not you dragging a suitcase, but a box moving around on its own, what are you going to do?"
Tsubaki's eyes stared at me, and he said word by word, "You, unexpectedly, yet, no, know, Tao!"
"No... I don't know what?" Tsubaki looked fierce, and I thought about it carefully, I shouldn't have overlooked any important information.
"I'm already a normal human!"
"Of course I knew you could become human... Huh??" I shouted.
The white cat snorted, looking unwilling to pay attention to me.
"You mean you've become what humans can see?" I said this to myself.
"Yes, now I'm walking on the street like a normal person, and everyone can see me as a human being," Tsubaki said, "so of course it's okay to walk back and forth with a suitcase or something." ”
"When?"
"I don't know when it started," she said, "and it seems that my demonic power has become stronger since my memory disappeared, and if I hadn't been accosted on the road one day, I wouldn't have known that my changed human form would have been able to be seen." ”
Should I rejoice or be worried?
"What's that look on your face?" Tsubaki asked me, frowning.
"Nothing, nothing. I waved my hand, "There is a second question, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, if you have to find the monster that Shi Xia said today, you may not be able to rush back tomorrow, then you will miss the Mid-Autumn Festival night at the barbecue restaurant." ”
As a foodie, she definitely doesn't want to miss the rare Bifang barbecue.
"Alas, that's also something that can't be helped," Tsubaki's answer tonight was more unexpected than the other, "After all, only in the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon is the roundest, Bifang Barbecue missed this time, maybe there is still a chance for the Winter Solstice and the Spring Festival, but if you miss this Mid-Autumn Festival, the next time the moon is so round, it will only be next year." ”
"You're talking weirdly today. I touched her head.
"I don't have a fever. She shook off my hand and dragged the box to the door of the store, "Anyway, let's go!"
Looking at her swaggering, I sighed, "Hey, do you know where to go..."
Her raised foot stopped in mid-air, "That... Where are we going?"
The city mentioned in Shi Xia's letter to her mother is some distance away from City A, and I could have gone directly through the gap in time.
However, with Tsubaki, this guy still has to take a plane once to live or die.
"Because I want to experience a human vehicle in its entirety!" she said...
"But you don't have an ID," I said.
"ID card... What is it?" she asked me, blinking.
“......”
Of course, in the end, I still took her on a plane, but I went through the normal security check and sat in economy class, while Tsubaki could only check in as a white cat.
"Don't laugh. Tsubaki's voice was a little hoarse.
"Haha, sorry sorry, haha... You okay. "My stomach hurt from laughing, because Tsubaki's hair was a mess when she came out of the cage, but fortunately she didn't get airsick.
"There wasn't even water on the plane, and the beautiful young lady who said she would have something to eat, drink, and a little girl!" she said angrily.
"Yes, but that's a human treatment... Sorry I didn't mean to laugh at you, hahaha... Hey, don't go, I'll buy you something to eat. ”
I dragged the white suitcase covered in colorful stickers while chasing the speeding white cat in full view.
......
"You're too energetic," I finally grabbed the white cat with teeth and claws, "okay, don't make a fuss, we still have business to do, so maybe we can make it to the barbecue tonight." ”
The white cat in her hand disappeared with a "whoosh", and the familiar girl arranged her hair with an unhappy face.
"Give. "I handed her a ticket.
"What. "She didn't seem to pay much attention to me, after all, the first flight trip was so different from what she had imagined.
"Metro ticket. I said, "With this, you can take the subway like a normal human, although it's not as good as an airplane." ”
Although she kept saying that she didn't want to, she couldn't help but be excited after she actually swiped the card to enter the station, and the unhappiness just now was instantly reduced by half.
"I'll see, we should be going to sit... Three stops. I looked at the subway platform and said, "Don't run around when you get off the subway, it's a transfer station, there must be a lot of people, so... What's wrong?"
Tsubaki, who was so happy that she was spinning in circles just now, suddenly quieted down and silently looked at herself reflected in the subway window.
"What's wrong?" I rubbed her hair, "won't be intimidated by my human appearance?"
"If it sees me like this, it will definitely say I'm messing around. Tsubaki muttered to herself.
"Who?" I was bewildered by her cold words.
"Every midnight, squatting on the house, stretching out his mouth to the moon, sucking its essence, it has become strange for a long time. She looked at me with a smile, as if she knew what she was here for.
“... The youkai that can see the condition of a human being, you know it. I said.
The subway stopped at this moment, and many people got off this station, and the carriage suddenly became empty.
"Well, it's not just acquaintances. She turned her head, "That's a Jinhua cat." ”
