498 How About I Put on Cat Ears and Let You Pet Me?

"It's alright, everything that needed to be taught has been taught, passing shouldn't be a problem... probably."

Yukino became uncertain in the end.

"Xiaoxue, if I want to, I can still do it!"

Yuigahama remains inexplicably confident.

Of course, nobody paid any attention to her nonsense.

"Um... I'd like to help too."

Saika at Hikigaya's clothes, looking at him with her big, watery eyes.

Hikigaya was instantly seduced and couldn't resist, nodding in agreement.

And so the decision to entrust the matter was made.

We chatted for so long, and it got quite late, so everyone went home.

When Shuya returned home, Ayase had already prepared dinner and was waiting for him. Motoko was anxiously waiting for dinner to be served, but Kirino was not there; she had gone home for dinner that day.

After having dinner with them and watching them leave, Shuya went to take a shower. After coming out, he thought he would play on the computer for a while and then go to sleep.

He casually picked up his phone to check his messages and saw that Maeda Saori LINE.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be about the IDOL production team.

After Shuya and Mai's schedules, Aoki Shin and Maeda Saori decided to hold a meeting on Sunday.

The matter is quite important. We need to meet with Shuya and Mai, along with the other actors and officials, to discuss the script, and then we'll start filming.

We really can't delay any longer.

As for why it was scheduled for Sunday, it was mainly because Maeda Saori knew he had exams, album work to do, and voice acting and live broadcasts on Saturdays.

The earliest available time is Sunday.

Shuya didn't think too much about it and replied that he agreed. A little while Maeda Saori replied that she was okay.

When Shuya saw that no one was looking for him anymore, he put down his phone and started playing games.

Nothing happened overnight, and Tuesday arrived.

After returning to school Shuya paid special attention to the girl named Kawasaki Saki.

She was a girl who was often late and was frequently taken away by Shizuka Hiratsuka for lectures.

Judging by her appearance alone, he felt she had the air of a young, effeminate girl.

It's possible that I had preconceived notions, and that Kawasaki Taishi's claim that she worked in a place called "Angel" distorted my thinking.

Shuya glanced at her a few times and then stopped paying attention to her to avoid any misunderstandings.

After school, Shuya, Yuigahama, Hikigaya, and Saika went to the clubroom.

They ran into Yukino on the way and decided to walk together.

Upon arriving at the location, Yukino said, "I thought about it yesterday, and it's best if Kawasaki-kun solves his own problem."

"It's better to pick yourself up on your own than to be forced to change. That way, she shouldn't do the same thing again."

Hikigaya agreed, "Indeed, people usually feel resentful when criticized, even if the person is close to them. For example, if our mothers constantly tell us to study before exams, we might feel rebellious."

"So that's why my grades are bad! I understand now!"

Yuigahama was extremely happy.

Hikigaya replied helplessly, "You don't know anything."

Ignoring them, Yukino went straight to the point. "Have you heard of animal therapy? It's a therapy that reduces stress through contact with animals, and it can have a positive effect on your emotions."

Shuya said lazily, "Let's give it a try then. If it doesn't work, we'll think of something else."

He's definitely not just being perfunctory because he finds it troublesome.

Saika a troubled expression, "Then... where are we going to find animals? Do you have any pets at home?"

Hikigaya replied immediately, "I have a cat at home, and Yuigahama has a dog that loves to run around."

"Ugh, ugh..."

Yuigahama was hit where it hurt and was speechless for a moment.

Yukino replied, "No."

Shuya replied, "Yes."

"Um?"

Yukino was taken aback. "Where did you get your pet?"

Shuya grinned, revealing his teeth. "She-fox."

"You pervert, who asked you that!"

Yukino's face darkened.

Yuigahama, however, was quite curious. "Eh? Shu-chan keeps foxes? I want to see!"

"Let's do it another day."

Shuya brushed it off, then paused and said, "Back to the main point, if you want animals, I can find plenty."

Yukino glanced sideways. "And it's the kind that can talk, right? You don't need to look anymore, Hikigaya- kun, could you please bring your cat over?"

"That's fine too."

At this point, Yuigahama became a little dissatisfied. "Huh? Why can't we use my dog? It's so cute! There's no other animal cuter than a puppy!"

"That's only because you like dogs."

Yukino replied to her.

Similarly, you find cats cuter than dogs because you like them.

Shuya complained.

Who isn't a hypocrite?

"Inoue- kun, if you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."

Yukino and embarrassed.

"No, I just wanted to annoy you. You look so cute when you're angry."

Shuya replied with a grin, making Yukino want to fight him.

If we weren't outmatched...

She gritted her teeth.

While she was glaring at Shuya in a helpless rage, Hikigaya had already contacted his sister and asked her to bring the cat over.

Section 537, Chapter 498: How about I put on cat ears so you can pet me?

Hikigaya quickly finished talking to his sister.

At first, she didn't want to bring such a heavy cat, but when she heard it was Yukino's request, she readily agreed.

Hikigaya once doubted his place in his sister's heart.

But he first addressed everyone:

"My sister said she'll be here soon. Should we wait outside?"

Shuya said, "No need, I'll have my men keep an eye on the area around the school. Your sister can go down when it's almost time."

"Alright."

Hikigaya nodded, but didn't ask who Shuya's subordinates were.

A while passed like this.

Shuya received a notification that Hikigaya's sister had arrived.

"Your sister's here, go pick her up."

"Good."

Let's go.

Yukino and the others stood up and went out, with Shuya following leisurely behind.

As the group walked to the school gate, they saw Komachi waiting there with a pet cage in her hand.

"Komachi, thank you for your help."

Hikigaya went over and talked to her.

"No need, after all, it was Yukino- senpai's request."

After Komachi finished speaking with a smile, she opened the lid of the cage, revealing a cat.

Yukino's gaze was fixed on the cat.

Wow, so cute.

Saika out to stroke the cat, Hikigaya family's cat kept wriggling and meowing in protest.

Yukino's fingers couldn't help but twitch; she really wanted to pet the cat Saika.

Seeing how hard she was trying to hold back, Shuya said, "How about I wear cat ears so you can pet me?"

Get as far away from me as possible.

Yukino replied kindly.

Hikigaya the scruff of its neck and lifted it up. "What's next?"

Yukino replied, "Put it in a cardboard box and then place it in front of Kawasaki-san. If she's interested, she'll take the cat home."

"She's not the leader of any delinquents... and this joke is way too old."

Hikigaya's rant.

However, he didn't have any other solutions, so he could only try this.

"Never mind, I'll go find a cardboard box."

Hikigaya speaking, Hikigaya casually handed the cat to Yuigahama, who jumped back in fright.

Are you afraid of cats?

"Me? How could I be afraid of cats? I actually love them! Oh my~ They're so cute~ Meow meow meow~"

The sound of thunder Yuigahama.

"Yeah."

Hikigaya handed the cat to his sister.

Then he went back to the school alone to look for the cardboard box.

Yuigahama paused for a moment, then explained to Yukino and Shuya, "Actually, I don't hate cats..."

... This has nothing to do with us.

Clearly, Shuya wasn't interested in her being a cat or dog lover.

But Yuigahama wants to say it, let's listen to her.

After hearing it, Shuya felt that the truth was just so-so.

Yuigahama was a child, but one day it suddenly disappeared, leaving her with the emotional trauma of losing a cat.

Yukino simply nodded silently after listening, offering no comment.

Komachi and Saika offered her a few words of comfort.

Shuya was about to retort, "Then why do you still keep pets? Isn't that just asking for trouble?"

But after thinking about it, he realized it was none of his business, and his laziness kicked in, so he didn't say anything.

A few minutes later, Hikigaya returned carrying a cardboard box.
