Although it is a little strange to think of the girl next door when it comes to the first impression of a new home, Mamoru Suzuki believes that most people in his situation will probably be interested in the girl who can turn into a cat or a cat who can turn into a girl in the neighborhood.

For the first time, an unknown mysterious power is revealed in reality, and there is no reason not to explore it.

However, although Mamoru Suzuki has always wanted to see the process of the girl's transformation again, it is a pity that he has never had a chance to do so except for the day he moved, except that Mamoru Suzuki saw it with his own eyes on the day he moved.

As usual, I glanced out the window directly opposite the bedroom, and all I could see was the tightly drawn curtains.

Maybe he was able to see it that day, just because he had just moved in, and the girl surnamed Yucheng hadn't been too wary of the direction on his side, and he didn't guard against him on the other side of the window when he turned into a cat.

After learning that he had moved in, he naturally raised his vigilance, and the curtains were always closed.

Despite this, I can't see her turn into a cat with my own eyes, but, after all, it's so close, the bedroom is facing each other, and Mamoru Suzuki hasn't started school yet, so there's plenty of time.

Therefore, after a long observation of the neighbor girl, Mamoru Suzuki still observed a lot of conclusions:

First, compared to the fact that the main body is a cat that can turn into a girl, subjectively he is more inclined to think that Yucheng has the ability to turn into a cat. Because judging from the transformed cat, the posture and demeanor are really closer to a human than a cat.

Guess: It seems that even if you become a cat, the human mind is still active in the cat's body. It's incredible from a scientific point of view.

Second, after turning into a cat, the maiden would leap out of the window and down the branches of the tree, which was the only way he could see her traveling.

Speculation: Maybe it's because Mrs. Tamaki doesn't know that her daughter will turn into a cat, so the girl can only pass through the bedroom window after becoming a cat in order to avoid her mother at home. It's understandable that if Mamoru Suzuki turns into a cat, he won't tell Yuko that it would be very troublesome if he found out.

Third, usually, because he has to go to school, Yucheng, who is still a high school student, only occasionally travels for a period of time at night. If it is a Saturday or Sunday, it may be possible at noon or in the evening.

Also: Since each trip is close to an hour later, it is likely that there is a one-hour time limit.

Fourth, as for the destination of the trip, it is not yet known.

Fifth, the girl's full name is "Tamaki Michiyo", and the pronunciation is "Tamaki Michiyo".

This is what Yuko learned about one day when she was chatting with Mrs. Tamaki, and told him afterwards - Yuko still thinks that he fell in love with Tamaki Michiyo at first sight... Let her be.

Sixth, Tamajo Michiyo is sixteen this year, one year younger than him.

Seventh, the family situation of Tamajo Michiyo...

Eighth, Tamajo Michiyo studied in...

Ninth, Tamaki 3000...

Tenth...

“......”

Mamoru Suzuki, who was sitting at his desk and looking at his observation notebook by the afternoon light outside the window, looked at it and suddenly stopped.

He felt something was wrong.

Where?

Mamoru Suzuki looked at it again from top to bottom. This time, he finally saw what the problem was.

Like, probably, it seems...

From the beginning of the ability to observe the three thousand generations of Jade City, to the back, it has deviated from the topic at all, right? Ever since Yuko told him about Tamaki Michiyo's personal information, too much of her unrelated personal information has been recorded.

"Looks like a stalker's criminal record."

If the police are caught, this record will definitely become ironclad evidence of his crime, and then he will go to the police station to eat pork chop rice.

Even Mamoru Suzuki himself had to admit that he was indeed a little too observant... Somewhat distressed.

So what should I do next?

Mamoru Suzuki didn't come up with an answer to this question.

However, at this time, he was still sitting at the desk thinking, and suddenly saw that directly opposite him, the curtain was lifted in a corner, and at the same time, a white cat came out with its head probed.

Mamoru Suzuki saw the cat, and the cat saw Mamoru Suzuki.

The cat jumped down the branches of the tree and disappeared from view.

If Mamoru Suzuki hadn't been able to see the girl's transformation into a cat with his own eyes on the day he had just moved, perhaps, he wouldn't have noticed anything abnormal. The scene in front of him, the cat's behavior of jumping from the window, everything is normal, and he can only think of the neighbor's cat with a cat.

Tamaki Sanchiyo, probably this kind of thinking, she didn't know that Mamoru Suzuki already knew that she could turn into a cat, so when she became a cat, she didn't deliberately avoid Mamoru Suzuki. Of course, I can't avoid it, it's so close, and it's facing the window.

In this regard, Mamoru Suzuki can only say that it is fortunate that he did not miss this interesting thing at the beginning.

Close the observation notebook, put the "criminal record" in the drawer of the desk, and lock it.

Mamoru Suzuki stood up from his desk, walked out of the room, and walked all the way downstairs.

When I was at the entrance, I was stopped.

"Are you going out?" Yuko was playing with her phone on the couch and looked up at him.

"Well, go for a walk." Mamoru Suzuki responded, changing into his travel shoes.

"Where to go?"

"Not necessarily, just take a look."

"That's... Is Mamoru going to your school? You haven't been there yet, have you? Yuko asked again.

Mamoru Suzuki's action of pushing open the door stopped, and he thought for a moment: "Will you go back in two days?" ”

"Two days, then." Yuko also agreed, "I'll go with you then?" ”

"Everything." Mamoru Suzuki had already pushed the door open, "Then I'll go first." ”

"Stay safe on the road."

"Hmm."

Closing the door, Yuko's child-like words were silenced behind the door, and Mamoru Suzuki stepped into the late March sunshine.

It wasn't long before the start of school in early April, and he was going back to school after a year off, and he was indeed going to visit his new school.

But not now, his purpose today is - he is going to find Tamaki Michiyo, who has become a cat.

By the way: while he is now behaving very much like a perverted stalker, and there is something like incriminating evidence in his drawer, it must be argued that he is not, absolutely not.

"It's just a curiosity that normal people have, that's all."

......

Although it's justified, I have to say that Mamoru Suzuki is indeed very stalking... No, I should say that it is a gift of "observation".

From small to large, for a variety of reasons... For example, when you are born again, you psychologically feel that there is a gap that is difficult to cross between people in the same grade; Physiologically, because of his frailty and illness, it is difficult for him to join in the games between classmates and many activities.

As a result, when other students were messing around, Mamoru Suzuki was always independent of the group.

Over time, he became an "outsider".

In fact, Mamoru Suzuki is also happy to do this, and he doesn't plan to fit in, but being alone is always a little boring sometimes, so "observation" has become a kind of entertainment for Mamoru Suzuki to spend his leisure time.

"Observe" the behavior of others, "delineate" the characteristics of the other person, "deduce" the personality characteristics of the other person, and finally "outline" the other person's character.

It's one of the great pleasures of being a lonely observer outside the circle.

This also makes a lot of the time, maybe he himself doesn't know, but in fact, Suzuki Mamoru already knows the other party quite well.

For example...

Although Mamoru Suzuki has never officially contacted the girl named Tamaki Michiyo, he has been secretly observing for most of the past half a month, as well as the information he has learned from Yuko, from behavior, how to do things, to family situations... All of this, in Suzuki Mamoru's mind, has indeed sketched the character image of Tamaki Sanchiyo.

She was in his head, and he could almost substitute into her perspective and become her.

And because of this...

"Found it."

Under a tree in a nearby corner park, the canopy blocks out the light from the clear sky, and the dappled shadows are sifted through the gaps in the leaves.

And in the shade of the trees where light and shadow intertwined, two small triangular shadows are quietly hidden.

That's a cat's ear.

The light left between the leaves outlined the outline of the cat on the ground.

Suzuki stopped and looked up, and on the main branch of the tree, there were a pair of sky-blue eyes.

There is also a pure white cat.
