Ninja Shirou Is Actually a Summoned Beast
This female college student's attire was rather plain and unfashionable. To be honest, she looked older than those twenty-nine or thirty-nine-year-old women who used Japanese makeup techniques to transform themselves into under-eighteen-year-old girls.
In fact, she wouldn't approach a girl who seems aloof and unattainable unless she really encountered a problem.
However, seeing Yukino Yukinoshita completely let loose in front of the cat, there was no trace of her former majesty and aloofness, only a somewhat goofy cuteness.
The female college student laughed and said, "If I had known about this side of Yukino earlier, we probably could have become friends. Actually, my hometown is nicknamed the 'Cat Small Town'."
"Please be sure to tell me the address!" Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes lit up, and she immediately took out her phone, leaning close to her senior to ask.
Social interaction is valuable! Dignity is even more precious! But for the sake of petting a cat, both can be abandoned!
"Meow..." Shirou, held in his arms, let out a helpless meow. There was nothing he could do; his girlfriend was just like that. He was truly sorry.
"Ahem... I'm not... well, anyway, come on up first." Yukino Yukinoshita knew that her explanation wouldn't be convincing at all, so she resigned herself to her fate.
"Whoa...!" At first, the senior thought Yukino had stopped there because she was playing with the cat, but unexpectedly, she led her directly inside.
She looked around at the upscale apartments, and compared to her rented room with its welded iron frame staircase and four tatami mats, it was like heaven and earth.
High-end apartments like these are typically sold only, not rented, to ensure resident safety and avoid overly complex traffic flow. Therefore, the people who can live here are either wealthy or wealthy and powerful.
'I'm sorry... I was too ungrateful. As expected, a country bumpkin like me still can't get along with a high-class beauty on equal footing!' the female college student thought sadly to herself.
"Senior?" Yukino Yukinoshita swiped her card to open the inner door, looking at the girl with a strange expression who seemed to be thinking about something.
"Yes, "Shirou patted his senior's shoulder reassuringly with his paws. He understood her feelings; wanting to marry a rich girl like Yukino had put him under a lot of pressure.
After entering through the security door, I took the elevator directly to the floor Yukino lived. Yukino arranged for the guest to sit down and then made her a cup of tea.
However, before that, Shirou encountered another major problem in his life... no... in his cat life.
"Meow!"
"Meow?"
" Meow!!!"
The chubby orange Calico Cat Xiaoyu and the black lion cat Lanlan came over when they heard the door open, because they sensed different presences.
When they saw Shirou the cat being held in Yukino's arms, both cats jumped in surprise! They opened their vertical pupils at the same time, and the moment Yukino put Shirou down on the floor, the two cats pounced on Shirou.
'Handsome cat! Don't go! Play with me!'
"Stop!!!" Shirou Neko roared!
The two large cats, as fierce as tigresses, were stopped in their tracks by the shout.
"I'm actually Shirou! Listen up! Stay put, or I'll never cook cat food for you again!" Shirou warned. He hadn't noticed it when he was in human form, but after shrinking, Shirou suddenly realized that the cute cats he usually saw seemed to have been magnified a lot, with powerful limbs, sharp claws, and the destructive power of a brat—they were practically a tigress and a lioness!
"Xiaoyu loves her master and wants to make her happy, but she doesn't quite understand what humans want. But... if her master turned into a cat! Then Xiaoyu will definitely make her master the most beloved cat in the world!"
Xiaoyu had always dreamed of finding a good man like Shirou, but humans and cats are different, and Shirou was already in a relationship with his owner, Yukino Yukinoshita. Even if she were incredibly charming and could outshine a hundred other cat owners, she couldn't change that fact. But now, a male cat with the exact same aura as Shirou had appeared before her—her dream had come true!
"You're so manly~!" Lanlan, the black lion cat, was even more direct in her thinking. She was very gentle with kittens, even to the point of spoiling them. But she strongly supported the fierce competition between adults or adult cats, or rather, the law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, which seemed tailor-made for her and perfectly aligned with her understanding of the rules of the world.
Of course, this includes not only food but also the choice of mates. Good men are fought for, and so are good male cats. Only a strong female cat is worthy of the strongest and best male cat.
"Meow!!" Shirou cried out for help as he ran away.
'Wait! Wait! I am Shirou!'
The black lion cat, with the air of a domineering female CEO, said, "Shirou loves them the most! Let's have a litter of adorable little lion cats together!"
The faster Shirou ran, the more competitive the athletic black lion cat became, and the more energetically it chased after him. She would only marry a male stronger than herself!
789 The Commission of Female University Students
Shirou dodged the two cats' pounces, but the black lion cat, Lanlan, was incredibly fast, almost like a small cheetah, and kept close behind Shirou, nearly getting its tail caught several times.
Meanwhile, the orange tabby cat, Tama, couldn't keep up with the two cats' speed at all. Because she was too fat and had difficulty moving, she simply observed the direction Shirou was running, made a prediction, and went ahead to intercept him. She was the epitome of wisdom, using her familiarity with the environment to catch the male cat.
Fortunately, Shirou was quite familiar with the environment and easily bypassed the blind spot.
However, this cannot continue indefinitely.
Shirou made up his mind and ran towards the storage room.
There was a large cage inside, specifically for use when taking the cat out.
Shirou squeezed straight into the cat cage, as if he had entered a dead end with no exit. The black lion cat and Tama, who was waiting for the cat, had their eyes lit up and squeezed through the crack in the door, getting completely stuck.
"Meow!!!" The two female cats screamed in pain after colliding with each other.
Shirou then turned on the switch behind him from the other exit, opened the door behind him with his head, and walked out.
"I'm sorry, but I already have someone I like, and she's my one and only." Shirou didn't go to the two cats anymore, just coolly left these words, and then walked towards Yukino Yukinoshita.
"Meow!"
"Why don't you just let us out?"
The two cats struggled, but unfortunately, the more they struggled, the tighter the cage became. The orange cat, Xiaoyu, had her chubby flesh sink into the gaps in the cage's wire mesh, forming little fleshy bulges.
Yukino Yukinoshita heard the commotion, followed the crowd, and was startled. The calico cat she had found seemed to be something special.
Wasn't it supposed to be that calico male cats are unpopular? My two cats at home are so arrogant, acting like the boss at the vet. I never expected them to actually like him, and even be tamed by him.
"Meow... Meow got dumped again, and this time it was by a completely bald human." The fat cat, Xiaoyu, lay sadly in her cage, refusing to come out.
There's no way around it! The victor takes all, so I'll just have to endure it for now. But I'll challenge them again someday!
Lanlan the black lion cat quietly gazed at Shirou cat in the distance, making a vow in her heart.
Finally, things quieted down. Yukino Yukinoshita sat back down on the sofa and said apologetically to the waiting woman:
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Now, senior, please tell me in detail what you've experienced."
"Hmm..." The female college student, expressing understanding, smiled kindly, but then a shadow fell over her face as she recalled what was on her mind. She began to recount the story of her boyfriend, whom she met while being dragged to a social gathering to make up the numbers.
"I'm sorry! Could you extend the loan period for the money you lent me last month?" The speaker was a young man in a suit, probably around twenty-five or twenty-six years old. His hair was styled in the trendy "Shamate" style, dyed brownish-yellow, with long, smooth bangs hanging down to the side. Although he wasn't exactly handsome, he wasn't bad-looking after dressing up, and he gave off a gentle, reliable, and honest vibe.
Perhaps she's the type of girl who's more honest and straightforward, and that's the type she'd like.
"Please! I'll definitely succeed this time. Then I'll have the confidence to become the man who can bring you absolute happiness, Lingling." The young man with dyed blond hair and a stylish haircut said, clasping his hands together at the dinner table.
Without hesitation, the female college student took out an envelope containing her wages earned that day from working at a food assembly line factory. She pulled out five bills from the envelope, then after thinking for a moment, she put three back in and handed them to the man opposite her.
"Huh? So much... Is this really okay? Lingling, you still need to pay rent, right?" The punk-style man looked at the female college student with surprise and asked.
"Yes! I still have some savings for next month's rent, so please accept this. I believe Mr. Qianqiu, your dream will definitely come true!"
"Thank you, Lingling! I'm so lucky to have a girlfriend like you." The punk youth stood up and said excitedly.
However, everyone in the restaurant turned their attention to them. The shy female college student blushed and quickly asked the young man to sit down. Although she had already given him all the money in her savings account, she had very little savings left.
After paying the rent, she had less than 10,000 yen left. For the next month, she had to eat two meals a day, surviving on steamed buns and instant noodles. But for her lover, she felt it was all worth it.
After all, he was a fashionable man who didn't look down on her for coming from the countryside and being unsophisticated.
After dinner, the female college student proactively paid the bill, which meant she probably wouldn't even last long enough to finish her instant noodles. Perhaps she'd have to call her mother in the countryside and ask her to send some vegetables and rice.
"Yeah, I know. You're a good girl. These things were done after we got married," the punk-style youth said with a smile, kissing the female college student's forehead.
However... a month later, on the day the female college student received her salary, the punk youth arranged to meet her at a restaurant.
That night, the young man with the "emo" style once again lowered his head, clasped his hands together, and said to the female college student:
"I'm sorry! I was supposed to return Lingling's money to you. But a few days ago, an important piece of equipment in the company suddenly broke down, and we urgently need funds to repair it. If it hadn't broken down, we would have already made our first pot of gold. Now, if we can't repair it in time, we'll have to pay the other party a penalty for breach of contract," the young man said with distress.
"Do you need to borrow money again?" The female college student looked suspicious and tightened her handbag. Inside, there was indeed an envelope containing money that she had just received and hadn't even had a chance to warm up yet.
This time, instead of handing it over directly, she asked, voicing her doubts, "Mr. Qianqiu, what kind of products are you actually selling in your startup?"
The man slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and angrily demanded, "What do you mean! Lingling, are you doubting me? I like you so much! I've been so sincere to you, and you don't trust me anymore because of a little money? It's not like I'm not going to pay you back, I just need some time to get things sorted out. I'm working so hard to start this business so that our future life can be more prosperous!"
"If Mr. Qianqiu could take me to see your startup company, I might consider lending you another sum of money," the female college student said to the man.
"I know... then I'll take you there, but do you have any money on you right now?" the man asked, rolling his eyes.
"No, I haven't withdrawn any money today," the female college student said.
"Then let's wait until tomorrow night. You can withdraw the money then, and I'll take you directly to my company. You'll then know I haven't lied to you. Goodbye." The man waved his hand, stood up, and walked out of the restaurant, leaving only the leftover food on the table and the female college student who stayed to pay the bill.
The afternoon before her appointment, the female college student sought out Yukino Yukinoshita, hoping to ask her to find a solution and let the black-haired girl tell her whether she should trust this man again.
"What should I do?" the female college student asked hesitantly, twirling the teacup in her hand.
"Meow..." Shirou looked at his senior with wide, worried eyes.
When someone invests genuine feelings and trusts another person, even if they are later deceived, they still can't help but trust that person again and again.
For example, some abusive men apologize immediately after hitting their wives, and the victims forgive them out of pity. Then, when something happens again, the violence resumes. "He may have a bad temper, but he truly loves me." "He knelt down and hit himself, and I softened."
This vicious cycle continues until it escalates to the point where it can no longer be concealed; otherwise, the cycle will never end.
"No, senpai, you don't even need to think about it to understand, he's a fraud!" Yukino Yukinoshita said bluntly.
As direct as you want to be.
Chapter 790 Shirou is Actually a Summoning Beast
"But! But Mr. Qianqiu is a kind person who takes care of lost children and helps old ladies cross the street," the female college student stood up, trying to defend her boyfriend.
"You've seen all of this, haven't you, senpai? Have you tried to learn about his character through mutual friends? Have you ever met him without his knowledge? Besides you, who else has he borrowed money from?" Yukino Yukinoshita bombarded her with a series of probing questions.
Just like on a volleyball court, the girl's three spikes shattered the glass wall of happiness in the senior's heart.
"This..." The female college student had never thought about these issues in this way before.
Mr. Qianqiu has always been very mysterious. In fact, none of the classmates who dragged her to the social event knew him. Even the man's side didn't seem to know him very well.
Although Mr. Qianqiu herself said that she was starting a business, whenever she talked about it, the other party would either call or change the subject.
In fact, she has already lent out more than 600,000 yen, which consists of her savings and wages from part-time jobs, but she has no idea what the specifics are.
Yukino Yukinoshita sighed. Compared to the problems high school students face, the things university students encounter are indeed much more complicated.
When faced with difficult problems, people often seem to be stubborn and unrepentant, which only makes things worse. It's like a natural talent buried in the human gene.
For such unfortunate people, you may be angry at their lack of self-reliance and saddened by their misfortune. Although neither God nor society is ever kind, and human tragedies have never ceased, in the end, it is still the individuals themselves who make the choices.
Even among homeless people, some would rather starve to death, while others can beg on the streets until they have enough money to buy a plane ticket to China to become foreign teachers. At least their character is much nobler than that of some foreign teachers.
However, some people may choose to remain holed up on the streets, only to freeze to death, die of illness, or be tortured to death by impulsive criminals who are either under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Yukino Yukinoshita pondered for a while, then finally made up her mind and said to her senior:
"It seems you won't listen to my advice not to go. So let's make a deal: I'll call you after 9 PM tonight, and if you don't answer, I'll call the police."
"Oh... that's too much. There's really no need to go to such lengths," the female college student said, waving her hands. She felt bad for troubling the other person so much.
"No! It's absolutely necessary! At least that's how I feel. Now that I know about this, I have to see it through to the end. As long as I'm sure you're safely back at your place, I'll keep calling you, because I mean what I say," Yukino Yukinoshita said.
"Yukino- senpai, have any of your female classmates ever told you that you're a bit unreasonable?"
"Oh dear, I've been ostracized by other girls since elementary school. Things like my shoes being hidden, being inexplicably mocked and ridiculed, and never having a partner in gym class. I have a wealth of experience with that."
"Haha, I always feel like your boyfriend has a tough time," the senior student said with a laugh.
Yukino Yukinoshita didn't deny it, and said with a light laugh, "Yeah, he's a really good boyfriend. Although he stood me up and I can't get through to him on the phone, I'll wait for him to give me a reasonable explanation tomorrow."
"Meow~!" Shirou the cat protested, 'I've been here the whole time!'
"What's wrong, little kitty?" Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Shirou, thinking he was being affectionate, and affectionately stroked the cat's chin.
Now is the time for Ninja Cat to make his appearance! As a gentleman, he naturally cannot ignore the requests of troubled women.
The female college student met with a young man with a flamboyant, "emo" style of fashion at night.
As agreed, the punk youth would take her to the company.
"You're here?" the punk youth said impatiently.
"Yes, Mr. Qianqiu?" The female college student nodded. She felt that the young man, who usually seemed very kind, was acting differently today.
He seems to be speaking in a somewhat nonchalant manner, lacking the entrepreneurial spirit he used to have.
"By the way, did you bring the money you promised?"
"Hmm..." The female college student nodded.
"Is that so? That's good." The young man smiled, put his arm around the female college student's back, and said, "Let's go then. I'll take you to my company. Once we get there, you'll understand what's going on."
The man, in a half-pushing, half-pulling manner, led the female college student toward the commercial street.
"Mr. Qianqiu?" The female college student looked at the somewhat rude man, her worry growing stronger.
"Alright, alright, I'll take you there." The man said, holding the woman's hand, as he walked forward.
