Chapter 65 I Am

I am a cat. My name has yetnya!!

W-What are you doingnya! Sto,a!!

Haa, haa

To suddenly get thrown by someone, how terriblenya.

Ahem, once again, Im a catnya.

Although it hasnt been a year since I was bornnya, Im a splendid female catnya!

Ive recently been picked up by a masternya.

Its a small human girl with beautiful black hair and black eyesnya.

Masters hair is incredibly magnificentnya.

Even though master is still a childnya, she lives alonenya. How praiseworthynya!

It was fate that master and I metnya!

Master gently gave me food when I was hungry and couldnt movenya.

I wont ever forget the flavour of the food at that timenya

Today will be an introduction of a regular day of me and masternya.

Nya~

teshi teshi

The start of my day begins by waking master up.1

Master wakes up early in the morning, just as the sun starts going up.

Nya~

naah, is it morning?fua, ah~

The first thing master does after waking up is change her clothes.Eh? Everybody does that? No no, master exercises every morningnya. The first time she changes is for that reasonnya.

After master changes and washes her face, she immediately leavesnya.

She usually returns after around half a koku, I thinknya?

I saw master off and rested for a little bitnya *mumble mumble*.

Wa! I oversleptnya! Master has already returnednya!?

Master washed off her sweat in the bath after she returns from exercising.Nya nya, I hate bathsnya

Master immediately does the washing after coming out of the bathnya.

Its the perfect day to do the washing since todays weather is goodnya.

Nya nya

Be a good child and dont disturb mene.

U-Nya!? Im dispiritednya2

Once the washing is done, breakfast preparations are nextnya. Masters meals are incredibly deliciousnya. Its even more delicious than the food scraps from a first-class restaurant I ate when I was a stray.

Nya~

Are you hungry? Please wait a bit longerne.

Nya nya, even though I planned to help, it was mistaken as beggingnya

Sorry to keep you waiting. The meals ready?

Nya~

U-Nya, as expected, masters meals are the bestnya! Deliciousnya~!

Well then, Ill be going out, so please come back before dinner okay?

Master goes out almost everydaynya. Though it seems to be work, for a child to work, how difficultnyaa But there should be something I could help withnya

The time when master leaves for work is my free timenya. Going out is fine, idling about is fine, I

can do as I pleasenya!

Todays weather is also good so Ill go for a walknya.

I used my personal secret path and headed outsidenya.

Nya~, sunbathing on days like this is the bestnya~.

*sniff sniff*nnya? This smell is

Oh, well isnt it Sakura-chans cat. What? Do you want this fellow? Just one okay

Nya~

I received a fish from the uncle from the fish storenya! I gave my thanks and decided to eat it in a quiet locationnya.

Nnya, nnya, delicious fishnya~!

Oh, well isnt this little kid eating something nice huh.

All of a sudden, a voice echoed from behind me.

You are the wild cat thats been running wild around herenya!?

Will you hand that over to me?

ku my fish is being aimed atnya But this fish is minenya, I wont hand it overnya!

I refusenya!

Ah, hey, get back here!

I dashed away with the fish in my mouth and escapednya.

After checked if I was being followed after running for a while, I finally relaxed and placed the fish by my feetnya

Whatnya!? Theres only a portion of the fish leftnya!?

It seems I bit too hard and it fell on the way herenya

ku the dropped fish has surely been stolen by that wild catnya what a blundernya!

Ill take a nap since Im frustratednya3

U-Nya its already eveningnya Did I oversleepnya?

Lets go back home and eat masters foodnya.

Im backnya~

The sun had already gone down when I returned homenya.

I took the secret path and entered the house, then went to masternya.

Nya~

Oh? Where did you go today?

Nya~

Mm? Youre awfully dirtyne. It wont be good if you dont take a bathne.

Whatnya!? I hate bathsnya!

Ni~

I cry out in protestnya! I violently opposenya!

Thats no good okay. I wont let you enter the futon if youre not clean okay?

I also dont want thatnya! The futon, its warm and feels goodnya.

To endure the bath I hatenya, or to endure the futon I lovenya an ultimatumnya

If you obediently take a bath, Ill give you some dried bonito today.

What was thatnya!? That fluffy the more you chew it, the tastier it iskatsuobushinya!?4Ill take a bath with pleasurenya!!

Nya~

fufu, I understand. Once dinner is finished, please dont struggle in the bath okay?

For the sake ofkatsuobushi, I can endure through anything!

Okay, heres thekatsuobushi, just as promised.

Nya~

Katsuobushi nya, katsuobushi nya

Deliciousnya~!

In front ofkatsuobushi, I dont have to bother with that strange man who always comes at around dinner timenya.

That strange man turns up to dinner everydaynya.

I hate that strange man because he touches master excessivelynya. The time master and I can touch gets reducednya!5

When dinner finishes, master will clean up and the day will endnya.

After that, master will sleep after taking a bathnya.

Ill go in the futon first and

Now, its time for a bath you know?

U-Nya, like I thought, I hate bathsnya!

Ni~

Thats no good. Since I paid thekatsuobushiin advance. Or would you rather never havekatsuobushiagain?

Ni~

I dont want thatnya. Theres no other waynya I am a lady who keeps her promisenya! Ill do my best for the portion ofkatsuobushiIve already eatennya!6

Its not like I was defeated by those words aboutkatsuobushiearliernya. Reallynya!

Hey, behave yourself. So dirty if you hate baths, then please dont get dirty.

Ni~

The water! Im being attacked by the waternya!

Youre clean now. Now, lets soak in the bath.

Ni~

Drowning, Im drowningnya!hafu..

fufu, does it feel good?

Fu-Nya~

Its strangenya, but master doesnt have any fur covering her bodynya, I wonder if shes alrightnya? Although master has a lot of fur on her head, wouldnt it be cold since she has no fur elsewherenya? I think Id be cold if I didnt have any fur thoughnya Is it because its hot right now, so its fine without any furnya? Or is it that every human doesnt have furnya? Does fur grow when its coldnya? Humans are strangenya

Now, shall we get out before we get dizzy?

U-Nya, it feels so good I almost fell asleepnya.

Lets wipe your body~

Nya! I hate being scrubbednya!

Ni~

Hey, dont struggle

U-Nya nya, master will become weak if I lick herenya!

lick

Hyan

Nownya!

Ah, hey!Kya.

shake shake shake

Aah, stop flinging water everywhere!

That should be sufficientnya.

Geez, arent you still wet!

Oh, I got caught againnya

Look, itll be better with this.

U-Nya~, I got scrubbed in the endnya

Its about time to sleep okay. Good night.

Nya~

Our day ends with thatnya. Good nightnya
