5 Chapter 4 - Kuro The Black Cat

"Woah! You look so good in that swimsuit, Mei! So much that I want to—Guh! Bronya!"

"The Bronya and Kuro the black cat will protect Mei-neesama chastity from the pervert, Idiotka," said Bronya with an indifferent look on her face. Within the embrace of her petite figure, there is a silent black cat staring intently at Mei that none of the girls cares about. To them, it was just a stray black cat they randomly picked in the mall. But in actuality, it's a man transformed into a cat. No, for the current situation, he is nothing but a pervert now.

Yes, Kei's here. At first I was pretty hesitant in following them, but who would have known that they were actually looking for a new swimsuit. Apparently, their school would be having a school trip to beach for some unknown reasons tomorrow for three whole nights. Good job, Principal! You do know your stuff!

"P-Pervert?! I'm not a pervert! Take the word back, Bronya!" Kiana retorted with her face reddened in shame. Mei on the side couldn't helped but sighed before returning back into the changing room as she knows the two wouldn't go far in their 'fight'.

As for me, Kuro the black cat, I wished Mei can take me along with her. Though I can simply ignored the two when they starts bickering like little kids, I'm getting uncomfortable as the more irritated Bronya is, the tighter her embrace gets. Though it won't kill me, a normal cat would have die out of breath. Do you know that feeling when you can't breath no matter how hard you tried? No? Then I hope you keep it that way as it isn't fun in the least.

To begin with, I'm not a masochist who enjoys getting their neck choked while calling the culprit as their father. Or am I? Now that I think about it, isn't it fine? I wished it was Raiden Mei that I'm being embraced with but Bronya is fine too. No, I need to stop that thought and throw it away immediately. I don't need to open that forbidden door now of all places. By the time I've reached that conclusion, I realized that the two suspiciously went quiet so I decided to look up.

Oh, Goddess of Beauty, is that you? Is that you I'm seeing right now? I'm not imagining it, am I? I was stunned. It feel like I'm dreaming but at the same time not, it was just that surreal. Now, it might sounds like I exaggerated quite a bit, that's honestly how I feel.

"W-Woah...Mei..."

"...Da, Mei-neesama is pretty."

It appears I'm not the only one mesmerized by her beauty. It honestly suits her really well, more so than the other previous trials. Especially for the fact that the swimsuit color fits with her hair, it was as if the tailor had created the swimsuit with her in mind. Seeing the two reactions toward her caused Mei's cheeks to reddened with embarrassment.

"Mou! Stop staring, did you two even find your own swimsuit yet?" She said while trying to hide her embarrassment by changing the topic. Thankfully for her, the two decides to play along.

"Ah, right!" Said Kiana before running off leaving the two and a cat behind.

"The Bronya will also look for her swimsuit now. Mei-neesama, can you hold onto Kuro for a moment please?" Said Bronya as she slowly removing it from her embrace before giving it to Mei when the latter nodded her head. She then follow suit by running off somewhere deeper in the shop. Looking at the small departure figure, Mei once again sighed before looking down as her eyes locked with the black cat's brown pupils which Bronya named it as Kuro.

"I'm sorry for leaving you alone with them, Kuro-chan. They must have been noisy when quarreling over nothing again."

"Meow~"(Hmm? Did you say something? It's okay, all is forgiven. Yes..these softness...is truly out of the world.)

If she had known the cat was thinking something dirty, she would have thrown him away but unfortunately, only the cat kept his thought to himself. While he was enjoying his current position of being under Mei's embrace, the two seems to have found their swimsuits as his ears picked up the sounds of them returning.

"Ta—da! How do I look, Mei?" Announced Kiana with a smile. I didn't know much about bikini and it's type but the blueish one that she had chosen seems really good on her. It also shows her decent bust, overall it's great. Naturally, I'm not being biased here but it really suits her well.

"Da, The Bronya had decided on this one," Now comes Bronya with the classic one piece that wrapped around her petite figure tightly. It looks cute on her. Also great choice.

"Mhm, both of you looks very cute in that swimsuit!" Mei answered truthfully. I also responded with a meow which put a smile on their faces. Seeing as they have decided, the two went back to the changing room before coming out with their swimsuit in hands. Mei hands me over to Bronya before Kiana can hold onto me, fortunately.

Among the three, Mei is the wealthiest person of the group since her Raiden family is nothing to be scoffed at. It seems they have decided firsthand to let her pay for them as the two didn't appear uncomfortable at all the moment she paid for it. Having her as my sugar mummy is not a bad idea either, I thought to myself while being carried quietly to the hotel. I thought they would leave me the moment they exited the mall, but it seems they have taken a liking to me, well the cat me, as they brought me along.

Bronya did named me 'Kuro' after all. From now on, you should call me Kuro the black cat.

My initial plan is to scouted the whole city and maybe mess around with people until the outbreak happens. But due to unforeseen circumstances, I'm now living together with the girls. I wanted to be happy with the result, but the happiness disappeared the moment I think about how noisy Kiana can be. She's a good person, that's for sure. But she always managed to get herself in trouble, that's what she was known as. If I'm living with them, I should be prepared for any Honkai Beast attack at any given time.

Since I don't want to let the world know of my power, I should escape if the situation turned worse. I don't need to be worried about the three as I know that they can take care of themselves. After all, they did become a Goddess/Herrscher at some point in the game despite the current them looking nothing alike from what they would become in the future.
