Cat Version of Gojo-san!

Lying in the hospital bed, reading the sweet words sent to his phone, "Gojo Satoru" felt incredibly happy.

Since childhood, he had suffered from a severe illness with no possibility of a cure, only able to cling to life through a host of medical equipment.

Forget being discharged; even just getting out of bed and walking normally was a luxury for him.

Someone like him could never make friends, yet by some twist of fate, he had found a partner through online communication.

It was only an online romance, with no possibility of meeting in person, and he was unwilling to reveal his condition to the other party.

But he was already satisfied. Originally, anime was his only companion, but the appearance of his online lover filled his life with hope.

These two years of communication made it hard for both sides to contain their love.

Finally, one day, the other party proposed the idea of meeting in person, and their attitude was so firm that it left "Gojo Satoru" no chance to refuse.

But forget meeting in person; due to his extremely poor physical condition, even speaking was exceptionally difficult. Over the years, he hadn't even made a few phone calls, and with his body covered in instruments, video chats were impossible.

It was only then that "Gojo Satoru" realized—what kind of relationship was this?! What was the point of it all?!

For two people in love, living apart was fatal. Phone calls and letters held no value; without being able to embrace each other, it was meaningless!

Holding onto this extreme belief, he shut down all social networks, immersed himself in the world of anime, and ended his short life.

After being reborn, Gojo Satoru experienced the life he had fantasized about in his past life. Whether it was sightseeing or making friends, he no longer needed to rely on the internet.

In the worldview he now held, online communication was meaningless. Cold text could never convey true emotion; even with a look of disgust, one could still type out messages that accepted everything.

He couldn't send messages on his phone, nor did he want to see anyone contacting him online, unless it was a special situation.

For someone like him, now like a living god in this world, if he wanted to see someone, he would just go see them directly. If he didn't want to see someone, there was no need to communicate.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about where we should go play later!"

Straightening out his mindset, Gojo Satoru put on his usual smile and explained cheerfully.

"Who said I'm going to play with you?!"

Seeing Gojo Satoru dodge her question, Kamuro Masumi angrily refused the invitation.

"Come on, come on! My treat, I'll pay for everything!"

Gojo Satoru shamelessly invited her again.

Hearing him say that, Kamuro no longer refused. After all, she had come for him in the first place. If she kept refusing and he got angry, what then? Her video was still in his hands.

"Fine, since you put it that way, I'll graciously accept this once."

"So, where are we going? Have you already decided?"

"Of course I have, my girlfriend!"

Seeing Kamuro Masumi agree, Gojo Satoru smiled and took her hand, heading toward their destination.

"I told you, I'm not your girlfriend!"

Although she shouted in protest, she didn't pull her right hand free from his grip.

Standing in front of the Cat Cafe, Kamuro Masumi froze in place and asked in confusion, "Why a cat cafe?! Shouldn't it be a movie theater or an Amusement Park?!"

"Eh? But I really like cats! This place is mostly visited by girls; I'd be too embarrassed to come alone."

Gojo Satoru stepped back, pressing his right index finger to his cheek, and answered pitifully like a little girl.

'How disgusting!'

"Someone like you actually gets embarrassed?!"

Watching Gojo Satoru's coquettish behavior, Kamuro Masumi bluntly teased him.

"Don't worry about the little details. Let's go in."

Ignoring her jab, Gojo Satoru took her hand again and walked inside.

"Welcome! Is it just the two of you?"

The waitress saw the pair enter and enthusiastically came over to greet them.

"That's right, that's right. Could you find us a secluded spot?"

"Of course! Please follow me!"

Following the waitress to a secluded spot and sitting down, Gojo Satoru ordered every dessert on the menu, plus a Cappuccino.

"What would you like to drink?"

"I'll just have an orange juice. I don't like coffee. By the way, can you really finish all those desserts?"

"Easy, no problem. That'll be all, thanks!"

Under the waiter's stunned gaze, she checked off every dessert on the menu, then handed it over.

"Got it! Please wait a moment!"

Maybe because Gojo Satoru had ordered so much, the waiter who took the menu was unusually excited.

"Meow~"

Just as she was about to get up and grab a cat to hold, she heard a meow from under her feet.

Looking down, Gojo Satoru exclaimed, "Nyanko-sensei!"

There, squatting, was a fat cat with markings like a three-colored lucky cat.

Wasn't this Lord Madara, "Nyanko-sensei" from Natsume's Book of Friends?

Seeing a cat that looked exactly like the one in his memory, Gojo Satoru excitedly picked it up and placed it on the table.

The cat didn't resist, letting Gojo pet it—clearly professionally trained.

"Is there something wrong with your head?"

Kamuro Masumi didn't even know how to retort anymore. Who calls a cat "teacher"?

"Of course not! This is a title with special meaning!"

Saying that, he even pulled off his blindfold and put it on "Nyanko-sensei's" face.

"Ta-da! Cat version of Gojo-kun has arrived!"

He held the blindfolded "Nyanko-sensei" up in front of Kamuro Masumi.

"Meow~"

"Nyanko-sensei" cooperated perfectly.

"Huh? Shinsuke, why aren't you saying anything?"

Hearing no reply, he moved the raised "Nyanko-sensei" aside, and Gojo Satoru met Kamuro Masumi's eyes for the first time, truly.

Looking at Gojo Satoru with his blindfold off, Kamuro Masumi was already frozen, and when their eyes met, she was even more stunned!

Without the blindfold holding it back, his hair fell loose, and beneath the silver locks were a pair of large, starry blue eyes. With their misty, pale-blue pupils, they seemed almost magical—once you locked gazes, you couldn't easily look away.

Add in his long, fluttering eyelashes and that handsome, boyish face—he was an absolute, universe-class, super handsome man!

Staring at the handsome man before her, Kamuro Masumi felt a bit unreal.

Why did someone with such a terrible personality have to look so good!?

He was more handsome than anyone she'd ever seen in her life. Without needing a mirror, Kamuro Masumi knew her face must be bright red right now.

"What? Dazzled by me?"

Seeing Kamuro Masumi's dazed expression and flushed face, Gojo Satoru smiled slightly and teased.

But Kamuro Masumi still hadn't snapped out of it. The impact of the contrast was just too huge; she couldn't accept it so quickly.

"Hey, hey! That's enough. Keep staring at me like that, and even I'll get shy, you know!"

Saying that, he even waved a hand in front of Kamuro Masumi's eyes.

Snapping back to reality, Kamuro Masumi quickly turned her head away, her face red, unable to speak.

After a long silence, Kamuro Masumi finally mustered the courage to ask, "Why do you wear a blindfold? When you're clearly so good-looking!"
