After Half Past Eight in the Morning / Shirou Turns into a Cat After Dark ...

"Meow~!"

The two cats meowed at Shirou before turning around and slowly walking towards the restaurant to eat.

Hmm, Yukino the type who's very rude to others, cold and aloof to the point of being unapproachable. But she might be the type to spoil children excessively. Although Shirou thinks that the girl at this moment seems very virtuous, practically Nadeshiko.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and go to the bathroom!" Yukino Yukinoshita said to Shirou.

Hmm... I really hope she can be gentler with her husband in the future.

Shirou silently took off his shoes and walked towards the bathroom. He skillfully opened the drawer, took out a towel, and washed his face first. On the cabinet above the sink, there was a toothbrush cup with two toothbrushes standing upright inside. The cup was decorated with a cute chibi cat, one black and one white, smiling.

Shirou first took off his quick-drying shirt and put it in the bamboo basket for changing, revealing his well-trained muscles. He was the type who looked thin in clothes. After graduating from high school and going to university, his body had basically grown out, and at 1.85 meters tall, he looked somewhat slender.

However, once the clothes are removed, there is a well-defined physique underneath. Although it is not as full as that of professional fitness enthusiasts, its explosive power and endurance in actual combat surpass most people.

Swinging a wooden sword had forged his arms into something as strong as steel, while archery had kept his back perpetually straight as a pine tree, seemingly unyielding to anything. It wasn't obvious when he was clothed, but now, looking in the mirror, one could clearly see the distinct, clearly defined muscles in each part of his body.

To be honest, this kind of physical body is already the limit that ordinary humans can train to. Above this, there are either those with a special physique like the Dragon Heart, those blessed by the gods, or Chinese martial artists who are proficient in Qi.

Although magic can be used in this world, there are no Magecraft to speak of it. Apart from a few rogue superpowers causing trouble from time to time, the world is generally peaceful.

With a creak, the bathroom door opened, and Yukino Yukinoshita walked in, having taken out a change of clothes from the bedroom.

The black-haired girl frowned as she looked at Shirou, who was shirtless, and said, "Why haven't you gone in yet? What are you admiring yourself in the mirror for?"

"No..." Shirou was about to explain, but the girl walked up to him, put down the clean clothes, and pushed Shirou, not giving him a chance to speak.

"Alright, hurry up and get in! I need to shower after you're done!" Yukino Yukinoshita said irritably. It's not like she hasn't seen it before, what's there to brag about?

"No, I meant how about we go together?" Shirou said, inviting the girl.

"Eh!?" Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes widened, and the two stared at each other. Then she turned to Shirou's exquisite figure, which was indeed very handsome. Beautiful things are beautiful, and even if you see them many times, you will still find them beautiful. Especially when it is something that belongs only to you, you can't help but play with it.

In a daze, the girl made a choice between reason and her heart, and nodded in accordance with her heart.

Then a pair of strong arms carried the girl into the bathroom and slammed the door shut.

What are you doing in broad daylight? What are young people thinking about these days?

Chapter 786 After 8:30 in the Morning

At 8:30 in the morning, Shirou, having finished washing up, rode Yukino Yukinoshita's red bicycle to the university, went up to the third floor of the laboratory building, and knocked on the door of an empty classroom.

"Good morning, senior. I'm here to help repair the equipment. Sorry to keep you waiting," Shirou said somewhat apologetically.

"Oh, it's nothing, I just arrived too. I'd heard about a first-year student who's got amazing hands-on skills and is a promising engineer. You're the one! That's great, come on in!" The greasy senior student inside greeted Shirou with a smile.

"No, I actually studied high-energy physics," Shirou corrected him. "Art is an explosion, and the ultimate sword-making technique lies in nuclear explosion."

Shirou told Yukino Yukinoshita the purpose of their visit.

However, she didn't tell Yukino Yukinoshita that the club president she had promised to help was actually a woman.

Moreover, she was a rare beauty in the science department, wearing red glasses that perfectly revealed the beauty mark under her left eye. She wore a white lab coat, but her demeanor was very intellectual, completely different from a certain high school teacher, possessing a unique and alluring feminine charm. Underneath the lab coat, she wore a long-sleeved shirt and a long black culottes that extended all the way to her shoes.

However, this senior student, despite being completely covered up, managed to make ordinary clothes look like bodysuits because of her figure, which only accentuated her curves. It's almost like the title of a very unique work written by some Nobel Prize Chinese author.

It has a similar wonderful effect to a beautiful woman in a bikini.

Although she is also a college student, her stunning figure gives her a mature, sophisticated charm that makes her seem almost ascetic, creating an inexplicable urge to uncover the facade of her good student persona.

Shirou agreed to help with the repairs because a male classmate who admired her asked him for a favor. However, Shirou had heard before that this upperclassman's behavior seemed to be somewhat questionable in its openness.

Shirou went straight into the classroom and saw a table in the center made up of four square white tables. On one of the tables were experimental instruments, so he simply sat down and began to study them.

"Hmm, hmm, he's much more handsome than I imagined, especially when he's serious. I'm starting to want him a little." The woman placed her two mounds of flesh on the table, then rested her chin on her hand, gazing at Shirou with a lovesick expression.

It's like the kind of color you sometimes see in host clubs with rather revealing customers. But the senior is younger, prettier, and has a fantastic figure.

"Senior? What happened to the science and engineering student, single dog, who can't date? So those jokes are just for variety shows to fool people?" Shirou, having already let loose his true nature, wasn't too bothered by the flirting from the opposite sex. He continued checking the equipment and muttered a complaint.

"Shirou-kun... don't you know that many mathematicians, physicists, and Nobel laureates are actually ladies' men? Like Schrödinger, Einstein... people admire their romantic escapades and talk about their greatness." The senior sat directly on Shirou's desk, pointed to Shirou's chest, and slowly continued:

"But when it comes to Marie Curie... everyone calls her a Polish harlot just because she became a mistress after being widowed? Don't you think that's unfair? I think I can understand your feelings, madam. We just want to satisfy all our needs as women in addition to being scientists."

"Even a woman who decides to dedicate her life to science is still a woman, and she still has physiological needs. Don't you think so?" The woman spoke softly, her voice alluring as she leaned close to Shirou's ear.

Like a beautiful spider weaving its web, trying to hunt butterflies.

"Please stop, senior. I'm just here to repair the equipment, I have no other intentions." Shirou quickly stepped aside, creating some distance, and called for a halt.

"Huh? I heard you're willing to help for free, doesn't that mean you're interested in me? That's why I wanted to tell you. But you're prettier than I expected, so since no one's around now, I can give you the reward in advance. Ah, since I don't intend to find a boyfriend, you don't need to worry about anything else, just enjoy yourself." The senior said, and then tried to pounce on Shirou again.

"No, you've really misunderstood. We're doing a charity event to help students at the school overcome difficulties," Shirou said calmly, stepping back once more to create some distance.

"Them?" The woman raised an eyebrow. Was there perhaps a better woman than her?

"Yeah, and my girlfriend Yukino Yukinoshita, you should have heard of her," Shirou said. After all, she was a famous girlfriend who became the most beautiful girl in her department as soon as she entered the university.

"Tsk! What's so great about flat-chested girls?!" The senior slammed her hand on the table, bouncing slightly in front of her as she angrily exclaimed. Hmm... she clearly remembered.

"At least we truly love each other. I believe that only a relationship can lead to a happy ending," Shirou said firmly. He would never repeat the mistakes that had occurred in other worlds.

"Hmm... I can't understand it. I've already decided to marry myself into the research lab, so I don't need to understand!" The senior tilted her head and said. Her attitude was actually that she wanted to play around with Shirou, but she was rejected because of other women, so she was still very unhappy.

Clearly, she and the man in front of her were completely different types of people. Even if she was good-looking, if they didn't click, it wouldn't matter.

The senior, having made a fool of herself, didn't press the issue. She wasn't lacking in men; she was just a little hurt by the rejection. So, in her frustration, she started brushing test tubes, brushing until the sticky, unpleasant feeling in her heart was washed away. Yes, brushing test tubes brought peace of mind, brushing test tubes brought happiness.

So the senior, with a fierce expression, was about to wipe all the test tubes in the classroom clean, but his body twisted and turned with each movement, as if he were dancing.

'You're kidding me! Humph! Men!' the senior, with her back to Shirou, thought to herself. There was no man in this world she couldn't sleep with!

The woman didn't want to be a third party and admired the boy's loyalty in love, but she also had the dignity of a succubus who had slept with hundreds of men on campus. Like some hedonists, while seeking intellectual enrichment, she also wanted to satisfy her physical desires.

Chapter 787 Shirou Turns into a Cat When It Gets Dark

However, this is an era where gender equality has become a consensus. When many women's incomes have surpassed those of men, and men no longer hold an absolute advantage in society, all the patriarchal ideas formed in the era when men were the sole breadwinners seem out of place and completely out of touch with reality.

In fact, many people criticize those of the opposite or same sex who are too open-minded, such as calling them "green tea bitches," "stamp collectors," or "two-way plugs," and angrily denouncing them as disgusting.

More often than not, it's not because they want to uphold social morality or the truth of nature, but because they instinctively feel that the privileges that originally belonged only to men have been encroached upon by new forces.

It turns out that a woman doesn't necessarily have to marry a man and depend on him for a living. For example, she can marry another woman. Naturally, a man who can't find a wife will be angry. Of course, he won't think that he's unwanted because he doesn't work, doesn't earn money to support his family, has a bad temper, isn't smart, or has all sorts of bad habits—that would be too humiliating. Instead, he'll say that homosexuality is a kind of... (censored).

Just like the people in Milijian believe that their unemployment is due to the diligence of the Chinese people beyond the sea, therefore... For example, Huawei's 5G is so advanced that it harms the interests of other telecommunications R&D companies, so it must be suppressed by any means necessary!

Their interests felt threatened, and this was a natural reaction. Because if you unilaterally demand that the other party follow the rules, that's not called being moral; it's just being a hypocrite.

This is a new era, the best of times, and the greatest of times.

It doesn't mean everyone is more faithful and abides by morals and laws, nor does it mean men's character has been elevated and they will never be unfaithful again. It just tells you that when you're chasing women, women are actually chasing you too. And when you neglect your family and don't consider your wife's feelings, you're not just a jerk to your neighbor Uncle Wang, but also your neighbor Sister Wang, nothing more.

That's what the science-oriented woman in the white lab coat thought. What she did at school wasn't illegal. Love between a man and a woman is perfectly natural, and it was all consensual. They weren't unmarried, and even if they were, couldn't they get a divorce?

Wash, wash, wiggle, wiggle.

The woman in the white coat is exuding her charm.

However, in reality, a person's freedom is based on the premise of not breaking the law and not harming others. If this bottom line is exceeded, it is not freedom, but excessive indulgence and violence.

Shirou remained engrossed in his repair work, and by the time he had almost finished cleaning the test tubes, he had also completed his repairs. Without his senior's interference, Shirou 'Shirou progress was rapid. After all, it was a basic experimental instrument, not a laser beam or a quantum collider.

He made good use of the knowledge he had learned, along with information about the materials, to transform the aging parts into new ones and break them in until they were suitable for use. Now, it's actually easier to use and operate than if he had bought a brand new one.

"It's fixed!" Shirou said, standing up.

Shirou then turned on the instrument, which emitted a light, confirming that the values were correct.

"Huh? So fast!" the senior exclaimed in surprise. This man was probably the first one who hadn't secretly glanced at her!

Well, having learned from the mistakes of other worlds, Shirou has reformed and is determined to become a truly devoted and faithful man.

If you have a girlfriend, don't spend too much time alone with other young women, and don't do anything that could cause misunderstandings.

"Then I'll be going now, goodbye, senpai." Shirou bowed slightly, then turned and walked out the door.

"Wait... wait..." The senior tried to persuade him to stay, but Shirou didn't seem to hear him and left directly. Did he really just leave like that?

After leaving the laboratory building, Shirou walked along the green path. It was quiet and deserted. A strange sound came from behind him, like a hoarse voice whispering some kind of eerie curse.

"I sensed the guy with the most unfortunate luck in love in this country! Unforgivable! Unforgivable!"

'It's still early morning, yet this young man possesses two distinctly feminine auras. This heartless man must be punished!'

'Huh? But he's not a womanizer, is he? We seem to have the wrong person in mind.'

'No! He didn't distance himself from a woman, and they were alone together in the same classroom—that's a sin!'

Is... is that so?

'Yes! I must nip him in the bud before he manipulates this innocent girl!'

Witches are seen as cute magical girl when they are young, but as adults they can only be called witches. If they look a little older, they will be seen as old witches.

But everyone has been young, and some witches were actually lovely Princess. However, once Princess becomes a queen, she is seen as a wicked witch.

'So... next we'll take revenge... no! For all the poor women, let's curse the heartless men of this world!'

Shirou shivered, as if he had caught a cold. A cold wind entered his body, making him feel cold all over and his bones chilled.

Shirou suddenly turned around and looked around, but nothing happened. Shirou turned back and continued walking towards the school building; the second period was about to begin.

Around noon, Shirou went to the library to find Yukino Yukinoshita. Although she didn't have classes in the morning, the girl had already gone to school after finishing her chores like washing clothes and dishes, and was studying on her own. Then she waited for Shirou to go out for lunch together.

"Shirou, what's wrong? You don't look too well." Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Shirou with concern. After all, the man had always been very healthy, and she had never seen him with a fever or cold before; she was the only one being taken care of.

But now Shirou's face was noticeably pale, which made her worry.

"No, perhaps I'm just a little tired," Shirou said with a light laugh.

At this point, he was unaware that he was actually under a witch's curse.

After lunch, Yukino Yukinoshita moved slightly to the side of the bench, patted her thigh, and said to Shirou, "Lie down."

"Huh?" Shirou hesitated.

"You need to rest now, so come here." Yukino Yukinoshita pulled Shirou into her arms.

"Thank you." Shirou lay down without resistance, then felt the softness behind his head and a girl's natural fragrance, which felt very healing.

In fact, the girl would normally be unwilling to do such intimate things for him in public, because she would be too shy. However, Shirou accepted it this time.

"And come straight to my house tonight, I'll buy groceries and come back." Yukino Yukinoshita stroked the head of the man who was resting on her lap and said softly.

"But... it's heavy, isn't it? I'd better come along." Shirou still wanted to help.

"Alright, I'll consider the amount based on my own strength. Listen to me." Yukino Yukinoshita said to Shirou earnestly.

"I know." Shirou smiled and nodded, accepting the girl's kindness.

They rested under the big tree in the courtyard until the first class of the afternoon began, at which point they parted ways.

After school in the afternoon, Yukino finished her class first and went out to buy groceries, while Shirou went straight to the high-end apartment building where the girl lived after school and waited for her to return.

As the sky shifted from the orange hue of dusk to a greyish-blue, and the sun completely turned behind the western mountains, Shirou found himself suddenly appearing shorter.

"Meow? (Hmm?)"

"Meow!!! (What's going on!)"

Shirou screamed, only to realize that what he was saying wasn't human language at all. He ran to a nearby puddle and saw that his face had turned into a cat's face!

Chapter 788 Shirou's Cat Life is Full of Crisis

Yukino Yukinoshita crouched down and reached out to touch the head of the calico cat, which was not at all afraid of strangers and was looking into her eyes as if it were having a conversation with her.

"Wow, he's a calico boy! That's rare. So, was he ostracized?" The black-haired girl grabbed the cat's front paws under its armpits, picked up Shirou, and looked at his little penis under his white belly.

"Meow meow meow!" Shirou waved his paws up and down, protesting, "Wait! Yukino! Don't lift me up! And don't look there!"

"Would you like to come to my house? Meow meow," Yukino Yukinoshita asked with a smile.

"Meow meow meow!" Shirou met the girl's gaze, trying to convey his true identity, but it was simply, 'It's me! It's me!'

"Ah, you agree? Then from today onwards, you're a member of the Yukinoshita Family."

'Don't jump to conclusions about what other people say!' Shirou retorted with a helpless meow.

However, in the girl's eyes, it seemed more like she agreed with what she said, and her expression was so cute that she couldn't help but rub her face against the cat.

"Pfft..." A woman's voice, unable to suppress her laughter, came from behind.

"Ah..." Yukino Yukinoshita realized that she wasn't alone, and blushed shyly.

It was only then that Shirou noticed a young woman in her early twenties standing behind Yukino.

This woman is a senior from the same academy as Yukino Yukinoshita. She was actually facing some problems and was unsure of what to do, so she sought out Yukino Yukinoshita was engaged in helping others.
