Although the journey was uneventful, ever since leaving the house, Haruko could always sense a faint reminder from her "Perception Skill".
It was as if someone was secretly watching her.
She looked around but couldn't find that Black who always made her heart clench whenever she appeared.
She thought that Black was probably observing her from somewhere in the shadows.
That Black would harm her!
That's why the Perception Skill gave a faint hint.
Fortunately, inside this cat cafe, she couldn't see that figure.
After completely relaxing, Haruko also noticed that many cats were looking at her. A bold orange cat had already rolled to her feet, gently rubbing against her boots and meowing cutely.
Led by this orange cat, many other playful kittens gathered around.
The Miss holding a cat smiled softly, "It seems they like you very much."
Seeing this scene, Ichiko no longer dwelled on the previous question. Instead, she handed two red bills to the Miss, "Then we'll trouble you."
Two hundred yuan for two people, petting cats all day.
Meanwhile, Haruko had already hugged the orange cat, which was fat into a ball, and looked at the other cats rubbing against her with a wry smile.
Her affinity skill was constantly working.
She cast a pleading look at Ichiko, "Ichiko, help me out."
"This is proof that they like you, just relax here properly~"
Ichiko squatted down and gently beckoned to a small white cat.
As the protagonist, her affinity was naturally very high.
The originally timid white cat mustered up courage and threw itself into Ichiko's arms. After being gently scratched under the chin, both the white cat and the owner who scratched the cat showed satisfied and happy smiles.
This scene was reflected in Haruko's eyes, and she couldn't help but smile easily.
Holding the big orange cat, she sat down on a blanket.
The Miss at the cat cafe was named Miss Ran. After high school, she didn't have money for college and didn't want to sell herself for black money. After working odd jobs and collecting bottles for several months, she unexpectedly met Inari.
Later, having a high affinity with cats, she was appointed as the small person in charge of this little shop.
After meeting Ichiko, their conversation never stopped.
Just like two parents meeting.
Miss Ran talked about the other two young girls in the cat cafe who were in their first year of high school, while Ichiko's topic never strayed from Haruko.
They were both reminiscing about the past.
Meanwhile, the person sitting on the blanket pricked up her small ears and listened to Ichiko's praise, but she wasn't as happy as she had imagined.
Ichiko was praising her.
But she wasn't praising the current her.
She had transmigrated here in November.
From then until now, it had only been a little over a month and a week at most.
This period of time was her true self.
But the praise in Ichiko's mouth was for Haruko from high school.
Her originally good mood gradually dissipated under such sinking thoughts.
Just then, the hem of a black evening dress came into view.
An index finger was touching a cat beside her.
Her gaze shifted.
Haruko, emitting a black aura, was squatting on the floor with her knees hugged, looking at her with a faint smile, "Don't you understand yet? Ichiko cares about the Haruko in her memories, not you at all."
Her sudden appearance prevented the Perception Skill from giving an early warning.
Haruko pursed her lips, her mood becoming much worse.
She involuntarily turned her head to look at Ichiko.
Black had appeared on her other side at some point. She reached out and put her arm around her shoulder, pointing at Ichiko and saying, "Didn't you hear what she said? Haruko from childhood, Haruko from high school, that beautiful time spent together in the countryside. There's only no mention of Haruko in the past month after going to college."
"You pretending to be obedient can neither get her person nor her heart."
