Cat Lover

Shishio didn't like to waste time, so he quickly distributed the flyers. He had to admit that Sorata really had printed a lot of flyers, which made him speechless, and if this was business, then he would ask Sorata for money. After all, most of the flyers that Sorata had printed were being distributed by him.

When Shishio distributed the flyers, he heard his name was called.

"Oga-kun?"

Shishio turned his head and saw Nanami was there. "Oh, good morning, Aoyama-san."

"Good morning, Oga-kun." Nanami smiled then looked at him in surprise. "I almost don't recognize you since you have cut your hair."

"You're so cruel, Aoyama-san. You can even forget the one who is sitting behind you," Shishio said sadly, but with some joking tone.

Nanami smiled and said, "I was just joking, but this hairstyle suits you well."

"Thank you, I know that it is very late, but a ponytail really suits you well too," Shishio said sincerely, but in truth, he really loved Nanami's ponytail and watching her nape during the class was one of his enjoyment during his free time.

Nanami blushed and became shy when she heard such sincere praise. "We - Well, what are you doing here?"

"Oh, I'm helping Kanda-kun to distribute flyers. It seems that he's going to search for the owners of the cats that he has picked up," Shishio said.

"Kanda-kun did?" Nanami was surprised, then sighed in relief. "It's good that he has decided to move out."

Shishio raised his eyebrow and asked, "It seems that you want him to move out from Sakurasou."

"Well, I'm not saying Sakurasaou is very bad, but I'm worried about his state after he has stayed there," Nanami said worriedly.

"Well, Kanda-kun is really lucky to have you feel worried about him," Shishio said and felt really jealous of Sorata, who had Nanami who worried about him.

"Do - Don't tease me, alright? I'm just worried as his friend, and I have never thought of him that way..." Nanami pouted, murmured in a low voice.

"What did you say?" Shishio asked when in truth, he heard what this girl was saying.

Nanami felt that her face was so hot at the moment, so she quickly changed the topic. "By the way, where's Kanda-kun? Are you here alone?" If so, then she really felt that her friend had really changed. After all, Sorata would let Shishio distribute the flyers alone.

"He's over there," Shishio said, pointing to Sorata, who stopped distributing flyers. However, he didn't blame Sorata that much, considering he was talking with Sorata's waifu candidate so intimately. He was wondering whether Nanami didn't notice Sorata, who had been staring at them earlier.

"Huh?" Nanami was surprised, but then she saw Sorata, who was looking at them with an ugly expression, but he quickly looked away when he noticed both of them were looking in his way.

Nanami wasn't sure, but somehow, she just couldn't bring herself to come toward Sorata when she saw Sorata with that expression, but then she felt that her back was patted gently.

"Go after him. You want to help him, right?" Shishio said gently.

"Oga-kun..." Nanami looked at Shishio for a bit before she nodded, then she walked toward Sorata since she had decided to help him distribute the flyers.

Shishio looked at Nanami's back. He had to admit that he was a bit jealous of Sorata, especially when he saw Nanami was so worried about him, and when he thought about Nanami's profession... Cough! Cough! He shouldn't think something perverted now, and it was better to focus on distributing the flyers.

Nanami's profession was Seiyuu (Voice Actor), and marrying Seiyuu was like marrying thousands of waifu. After all, she could mimic various voices, which meant she could become various waifu with her ability, mimicking various voices.

Shishio was in deep thought, but then he heard a slightly cold voice from behind.

"You're searching for someone to adopt a stray cat?"

Shishio turned and saw an unexpected person. He saw the "Yukinoshita-san" that had made Sorata mesmerized in the past. He observed her secretly, from up to down, and had to admit that except for her flat chest, this girl was gorgeous, especially those long legs that wrapped by a black stocking made him want to rub his face there forever.

<Target has been found!>

<Congratulations, you have received "Business Mastery">

The "Yukinoshita-san" stared at Shishio with indifferent eyes. There was a trace of unnaturalness and blush, seemingly very embarrassing when she asked this question to someone that she didn't know.

"Yes, do you want to adopt a cat?" Even so, Shishio smiled gently and asked politely.

"No, not me, but my... my fr-- I mean my niece!" The girl quickly said, but then she noticed Shishio's strange expression on her, which made her frown. "Why are you staring at me like that?"

"Nothing, do you want to see the photo of the cats? I keep it inside my phone," Shishio said and took out his phone. If it was someone else, he wouldn't even bother to do this, but he knew that the girl in front of her was a cat lover, and he was sure that this girl would be hooked by the photos of cats that he had taken before.

Shishio had gotten "Photography Mastery" and took photos of cats that were a piece of cake for him, even though the quality of his mobile phone camera was shit, but the result could make anyone feel amazed by his skill.

"Let me see it!" The voice of the "Yukinoshita-san" was quite eager, but then she realized her mistake and quickly coughed to fix the misunderstanding. "Don't misunderstand. I just want to see whether the cats are in a healthy condition or not."

"Yes, yes, I understand." Shishio smiled knowingly since this girl was too cute, right?

The "Yukinoshita-san" seemed to be quite displeased by Shishio's smile. "I haven't seen you before. You're a freshman?" It seemed that the quality of the freshman was quite low this year since this guy dared to tease her, so as a good senior, she thought to teach him some manners.

"Yes, my name is Shishio Oga." Shishio nodded.

The "Yukinoshita-san" nodded then said, "Then have you heard that you should respect your senior, Oga-kun?"

"Really? I feel like I have respected you enough. After all, you haven't even introduced your name to me," Shishio said.

"That's true. Let me introduce myself. My name is Yukinoshita Yukino," Yukinoshita said while putting her hand on her flat chest.

"I see. Nice to meet you, Yukinoshita-senpai." Shishio nodded and asked, "By the way, do you still want to see the photo of the cats?"

"I don't really have time, but since you insist, I'll look into it for a moment," Yukinoshita said like she didn't have a choice.

"....."

'No one is forcing you, though,' Shishio thought, speechless.

"Are you thinking of something rude about me?" Yukinoshita asked with a frown.

"Nothing." Shishio shook his head and said, "By the way, I have two themes of photos, one is lazy cute, and the other one becomes a beast. Which one do you want to see first?"

"Then let me see the lazy cute first," Yukinoshita said and stared at Shishio's mobile phone screen intently.

"Alright." Shishio then showed a photo of the cats showing their bellies while meowing lazily and smiling in front of the camera to Yukinoshita. "What do you think?

"...Cute." Yukinoshita seemed to be obsessed and couldn't take her eyes away from the mobile phone. She just wanted to grab Shishio's phone at that moment, but she held herself.

"I don't take many photos. After all, the quality of the camera on the phone is like this, but if I have a better camera, I can make the cats become several times cuter," Shishio said confidently.

"Se - Several times?!" Yukinoshita's mind seemed to be shaken, after all, the photo of cats on Shishio's phone was so good and cute, but then he said that he could make it several times cuter? Was this guy trying to kill her?

"Un." Shishio nodded and said, "But well, let's talk once I have a new camera, so do you still want to see the other theme?"

"Yes." Yukinoshita nodded without hesitation.

"Here." Shishio then showed a photo of the cats roaring angrily in front of Shiro-san, but from the angle of the camera, to achieve the best photo, he needed to erase the existence of Shiro-san from the picture. Still, he wasn't going to say all of that to Yukinoshita.

"....." Yukinoshita was speechless and asked, "What did you do to make a cat so angry?"

"It's not me, but my friend?" Shishio wasn't sure about his relationship with Shiro-san, but he was pretty close with him.

"Hmm... but they're still very cute..." Yukinoshita said and still observed the photos with some obsession.

"...." Shishio.

"Then, do you want to adopt those cats?" Shishio asked.

"I...." Yukinoshita couldn't say a word. After all, she just wanted to see the cats, not to adopt them since her apartment didn't allow her to keep one.

"Well, don't force yourself. I know that you just want to see the photos of cats, Senpai," Shishio said with a smile.

"...." Yukinoshita stared at Shishio, then became annoyed and said, "Oga-kun, it seems that you don't respect your senior that much."

"Yes, yes." Shishio only nodded and didn't care much. "Well, I'll give you one of the flyers. You can keep it, Senpai. If you know someone who wants to adopt a cat, then you can call the number that is written on the flyer."

Yukinoshita snorted and didn't care about his rudeness since she was a good senior and she needed to tolerate her junior, right? She looked at the contact info and asked, "Is this your number?"

"No, it is someone who lives in the same dorm as me." Shishio then pointed his finger at Sorata and said, "It's that guy's phone number." He pointed his finger at Sorata, but then he was stunned when he saw what had happened in front of him.

"I don't need your help! I can do this by myself! You don't need to help me! Just leave me alone!" Sorata roared at Nanami.

"Kanda-kun..." Nanami looked at Sorata for a while, and her eyes were red, staring at Sorata. She was about to cry, but she held it since she felt that her tears weren't worthy of the boy in front of her. "I see, then I won't help you." She then left decisively, without looking back, while wiping the tears that slowly dripped from her eyes.

Sorata looked at Nanami, who was walking away, but then a regret started to appear on his face. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth before ignoring Nanami, who had left.

Shishio frowned, looking at the scene in front of him since he didn't expect such a thing would happen, but he could more or less guess the reason why it was happening.

"So the number on this flyer is that guy's phone number?" Yukinoshita asked with a frown since she didn't have a good impression of a boy who made a girl cry.

"Well, Senpai, I'll leave first. I need to talk to him," Shishio said and left Yukinoshita without hesitation.

Yukinoshita looked at Shishio's back and wanted to call him. Still, she felt quite embarrassed and knew that it wasn't the time to ask for his contact number so she could get those cats' photos, but she was a bit unwilling. After all, if she could get those photos, she could stare at them every day. However, once he had left, she knew that she couldn't talk with him again.

---

While Yukinoshita was thinking about cat photos, Shishio approached Sorata and asked, "Kanda-kun, what happened? Why did you fight with Aoyama-san?"

Sorata, whose mood wasn't good, also wasn't in the mood to talk with Shishio. "Nothing, it isn't your problem. You don't need to ask." He just wanted Shishio to go away at this moment or else, he might lash out his emotion again.

"Is that so? I have heard that you can do this on your own, right? So here's the rest of the flyers, please do it yourself," Shishio said and returned the flyers to Sorata directly, then left and thought that Sorata was stupid for fighting with Nanami.

"....."

Sorata looked at the flyers that had been returned by Shishio and couldn't help but crumple it tightly, showing his jealousy and anger. He wanted to get angry, but his anger quickly cooled down when he noticed the stares of the students on him, which made him very uncomfortable, and then he could also hear some murmurs that talked about him, which made him want to run away.

Sorata lowered his head and entered the school silently, and at this moment, he just felt regret and wanted to apologize to Nanami, but he didn't know that he was too late since someone moved faster than him.
