No, thats not itwas what he tried to say, but was unable to get anything out other than even more strange meows.

Got it. You dont have to meow. You should be able to speak in words since youre already in human form.

Since he pointed it out, he once again looked at his own appearance. He remembered his off feeling from earlier. There was no way he wanted to realize it, so he looked away from reality. Rightsomehow he had become human. The arms coming out of his kimono sleeves were long and thin, and not covered in smooth fur.

M-Meow?

Like I said, you can talk. You may not understand how since you just changed. Move your mouth. Try to do so like a person.

The man leaned forward, and supported the corners of his mouth with his hands.

Say a-i-u-e-o.

Kiri said as he guided his lips.

Haha-i-u-e-yo.

When he somehow managed to push his voice out, the man laughed as if he were teasing him.

Try to say it one more time. Remember how humans talk.
