What Makes a Kitty Impulsive / Moving the Cat Bed and [Rat King]

After an afternoon of learning, the cat had gained a great deal. Compared to the previous time when she only had a general understanding, this time she learned a lot about the situation in the slums in detail.

For example, what happened in which area, who is in dire straits, or who has experienced a tragedy, etc.

As for why she needed to know about this kind of thing, it was obviously because knowing more would make it easier for Pardofelis provide targeted assistance. Her thoughts before going to sleep today weren't just empty words.

Since the Canned Food method seems good and has been adopted, Pardofelis will naturally follow it.

Yesterday she received a batch of gemstones, which she really liked and has already collected. So naturally, she will take money from her own wallet to buy supplies to help those in need here.

If you ask why I don't just give money, all I can say is that sometimes money really can cause trouble...

Of course, if there are special circumstances that require money to resolve, then Pardofelis will consider providing assistance.

When the cat was delivering things to the people in the slums, it used some clever tricks to ensure its own safety.

Instead of sending out the supplies she had purchased that afternoon directly, she had them exchange some for the batch of goods that Griseo had bought for the Reunion Movement before sending them out.

As for the reason, Pardofelis isn't stupid. If she buys and delivers things on the spot, it might be fine in the short term... but over time, and with more and more things she buys, anyone with a keen eye can easily trace it back to her.

Griseo's shipment was different; almost all of it originated from Columbia. In that case, if the truth came out, it would at most be suspicion, without direct evidence.

"I never thought Pardofelis would be Santa Claus one day... So tiring." After quietly stuffing things into the house of a family in need, Pardofelis wiped the sweat from her forehead and muttered to herself.

Meow~

"Ah, why Canned Food you so easy, can? Can't you grow bigger like Santa's reindeer and help me?" As she spoke, Pardofelis reached out to grab the Canned Food that was clinging to her arm.

"Meow!"

However, before Pardofelis could even touch a single cat hair, Canned Food displayed an agility beyond its round and chubby body, leaping into the air and then dashing away as if it were truly afraid of being caught and used as a mount.

"Canned Food, you ran off so fast! Wait for me!"

Seeing the fat cat that was almost out of sight, Pardofelis's eyes showed a hint of helplessness, and she quickly followed after it.

After working through most of the night and completing all the targets she had marked in the afternoon, Pardofelis climbed back up to the rooftop where she had been during the day.

"Ah~ After being busy for so long, I finally finished the goal I set for last night. They'll be so happy to see those things when they wake up in the morning," Pardofelis sighed as she lay on the rooftop, gazing at the two unique moons in the Terra night sky.

Meow~

"You think so too, Canned Food?"

"Life is so good now. Although it's a new city, I feel very free, and I don't have to worry about food or drink... It's just that the mission is a bit difficult to complete."

"Meow!"

Hearing Pardofelis's exclamation, the Canned Food beside her suddenly let out two soft cries, then waved its two front paws as if making a gesture.

Pardofelis, who had just understood what the Canned Food meant, first lit up, then sat up and started bargaining:

"No! Twenty Canned Food and twenty dried fish are too much. Five Canned Food and five dried fish at most!"

"Meow!"

"No means no. The key to Swire's house is only worth this much. It's not like I can't open the door. I can't ask for more!"

P. S.: It's still a bit laggy, what do you guys think? By the way, what kind of cat-stealing scenes would you like to see? Tell me and I'll take some ideas.

Chapter 7 Things That Make Cats Impulsive

Pardofelis, who should have been resting in the middle of the night, perked up again after being given a mouthful of Canned Food. After some haggling, she managed to get a greedy fat cat to sneak into Swire's house that night and steal her keys in exchange for 7 Canned Food and 10 dried fish.

Of course, the cat didn't intend to keep the key. After getting her hands on it, she secretly went to the relevant place and made a copy of it herself.

"Alright, return the key to the Canned Food."

Looking at the brand-new key in her hand, Pardofelis gently wiped Swire's key and tossed it toward Canned Food not far away.

"... Meow!"

The Canned Food next to it cooperated perfectly, leaping lightly and accurately catching the key in its mouth.

But after landing, it quickly let go of the key, allowing it to fall to the ground, and even stepped on it with a chubby paw, barking at Pardofelis.

"!"

"Canned Food again! No way, this trip back has to be free. No more Canned Food and dried fish." Pardofelis, after hearing the Canned Food's cries and watching its series of actions, understood what it meant and said with a slight bristling of fur.

"Meow!"

"No means no. We agreed on a fixed price. If you try to bargain again, you won't get the Canned Food you promised!" Seeing the unyielding Canned Food in front of her, Pardofelis couldn't help but pull out her trump card.

"... Meow~"

However, it was clear that Pardofelis understood Canned Food. After hearing her words, although the cat was still somewhat unwilling, it ultimately compromised for the sake of food.

Finally, the deal was settled with the key being returned in Canned Food, and then Pardofelis paid with 7 cans of delicious Canned Food plus 10 dried fish.

In the morning, the bright, warm sunlight shone evenly on the city, adding a touch of warmth to it.

Ah~

Meow~

On the deserted rooftop, a cat-eared girl sat on a cushion, her back to the warm sunlight, and slowly stretched. The chubby cat beside her seemed to be influenced by her, lazily stretching as well.

"Although I want to sleep a little longer, Swire should be at work by now. Let's go check and then go to her house." Muttering to herself, Pardofelis slowly stood up and picked up the mat and blanket from the floor.

Meow~

"Let's go, Canned Food."

After leaving her resting place with the Canned Food, Pardofelis didn't rush and went straight to Swire's house. Beforehand, she leisurely went out to buy some things and filled her stomach.

After all, for both cats and Canned Food, eating is the most important thing.

After finishing their late breakfast, the cat and the person first went to the Lungmen Guard Department to check on Swire and make sure she was at work before leisurely strolling towards her house.

One thing Pardofelis had to admit was that the area where Swire lived was well-managed and secure. Of course, good as it was, it still couldn't keep her out of the way.

Furthermore, there were far fewer surveillance cameras here than the cat had expected, probably because it wasn't far from the Lungmen Guard Department building and the security was quite good... But, this was a lucky break for her.

In a corner where no one was watching, Pardofelis skillfully vaulted over the fence and landed lightly and silently in the yard of Swire's villa.

After confirming that no one was in the villa, he went around to the front door, took out the key, opened the door, and entered someone's home.

"Hmm... it feels a little strange."

Pardofelis, who entered the target's house without picking the lock or climbing through the window, gently wagged its tail, feeling a little unreal.

In a sense, this was the first time the cat had ever so easily and brazenly walked in through someone's front door to buy goods...

"Never mind, let me see if there's anything good!" Not paying much attention, Pardofelis quickly put her earlier emotions behind her and excitedly began to tour Swire's house.

Swire's home has a very fresh and clean style, and is decorated with many artistic items. However, at first glance, the cat didn't find anything that interested it.

However, just as she was about to look elsewhere, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a faint reflection out of the corner of her eye, which made her pause and walk towards the reflection.

"Let's see what kind of treasure it is..."

As she spoke, Pardofelis bent down and reached under a vintage European-style cabinet that was filled with various items.

A moment later, the cat pulled out a gemstone earring from a gap under the cabinet. It was slightly dusty, but its brilliance was still undeniable.

"Wow, this is good stuff. Hehe, now that I've found it, it's mine."

As she spoke, Pardofelis took out a small handkerchief printed with cats and carefully wiped the earrings in her hand before skillfully putting them into her treasure chest.

"What a pity to find treasure so early. Let's go, Canned Food, we can explore the rest later."

Meow~

After adding one more item to her collection, Pardofelis abandoned her plan to continue exploring the Swire House.

Firstly, because the cat isn't greedy and knows when to stop. Secondly, because there's plenty of time ahead; besides this time, she'll come at least nine more times... Exploring everything at once would take away a lot of the fun.

After carefully erasing all traces of her presence, Pardofelis quickly left with the Canned Food.

Cat plans to complete the remaining nine deliveries as quickly and carefully as possible.

As for why they wanted to get it done quickly, it's because Pardofelis has some gems she wants from Eden... if there are any more...

However, based on her own and others' judgment, Cat felt that Eden would probably bring something with it when it was unlocked.

Speaking of which, Pardofelis felt it was a bit of a pity to have to source goods from Swire. It's a pity that the definition of "home" in the system task was too narrow.

Otherwise, if all of Swire's family businesses were considered as property, then the cat would definitely target one thing: the expensive piano in Dagu Square, worth 1.8 million Lungmen Dollars.

Of course, Pardofelis's reason for wanting to steal the piano was not because she liked it or because of its value, but simply because she wanted to.

Because this piano didn't have a good ending in the game, it was used as cover and tragically sacrificed during the battle between the Lungmen Guard Department officers and the Reunion Movement...

It's like the 1.8 million just exploded in an instant.

This broke the cat's heart... Although she knew that with Griseo around, it was almost impossible for this to happen again, she still felt a surge of emotion when she saw the piano...

P. S.: Sigh, another all-nighter. Writing about cats still gives me some feeling, and I'll write more about them next time.

Chapter 8 Moving the Cat's Nest and the [Rat King]

After leaving Swire's house, Pardofelis didn't rest. In addition to secretly purchasing another batch of supplies, she continued to gather as much intelligence as possible about the various forces in Lungmen, both overt and covert.

Of course, Pardofelis didn't let her guard down when purchasing supplies. If anyone asked, she would always tell them that her boss had asked her to buy them, and she didn't know what they were for.

As for why the cat did this even though it had already sent out supplies along with Griseo's batch... well, you can only say that having an extra layer of insurance is always a good idea.

As people are busy and focused, time flies by quickly, and soon we will see the sunset and evening glow.

"Finally, I can get off work."

After a busy and fulfilling day, Swire dragged her slightly tired body home quickly.

Once she got home, the first thing she did was stand next to the cabinet, take off the earrings she was wearing, and place them on the cabinet in a small dish that she had temporarily stored.

"Speaking of which, didn't I lose a gemstone earring here before?" Swire, having removed the small ornament from her body, looked at the cabinet in front of her and muttered to herself.

"Never mind, it's not that important. We'll ask the cleaning lady to help us look for it next time."

Swire didn't dwell on this minor incident and quickly got distracted by other things. After all, she had just gotten off work and was both hungry and tired.

Over the next few days, while gathering intelligence, Pardofelis also set many goals and began to execute them. After all, she couldn't just focus on the second mission and abandon her own unique weapon.

Of course, these Lungmen organizations and forces targeted by the cats are all those whose hands aren't exactly clean.

Moreover, apart from a few items that she personally liked, most of the goods she purchased were stolen or of dubious origin.

The reason for Pardofelis's choice was simple: it was out of caution, just like before.

If she had stolen something of legitimate origin, putting aside whether it violated her own "morality" or whether she would face retaliation, the possibility of being targeted by official organizations in this situation would be almost 100%.

Cat Cat has absolutely no desire to clash with the police or official organizations; it's troublesome, and she can't retaliate. Even if she does end up in a confrontation because of Swire, she doesn't want to do it from the very beginning.

However, if the stolen items are of dubious origin, then there's no such problem, because the organizations that lose their belongings are unlikely to report it to the police.

At most, it would be a covert investigation and retaliation, but that's the last thing Pardofelis is afraid of now.

What a joke! Let's not even talk about whether those people can catch her. Even if they could, she has Senti's boss protecting her now.

In just a few days, two underground organizations lost their "goods," and the poor in the slums received their second, third, and fourth rounds of material assistance.

Meanwhile, Pardofelis's reputation as a "kind-hearted person" spread rapidly throughout the slums in the past few days.

"I'm leaving, Canned Food. I'm changing seats today, I'm not staying here." With that, Pardofelis slowly sat up, stretched, and then waved to Canned Food beside her.

"Meow~" Upon hearing this, Canned Food didn't stand on ceremony and ran over in a few steps to grab Pardofelis's shoulder.

"Why, you ask? Well, it's because someone's watching us. It's not safe to stay here at night. I don't want to wake up to the enemy the moment I open my eyes after taking a short nap," Pardofelis explained helplessly after hearing the Canned Food's cry.

"Let's go, let's go, hold on tight!"

After saying that, Pardofelis suddenly sprinted down the stairs, carrying her fat Canned Food.
