The two carried the cat cage together to the sales counter. After some bargaining, Ho Fei-yu and Hanasaku Tenkawa bought several items for the cat, such as a cat tree, cat food, and a cat bowl. Hanasaku Tenkawa originally wanted to buy cat litter and a scoop, which are essential basic supplies for typical cat owners online, but Ho Fei-yu stopped her, saying he had a way to teach the cat to use the toilet itself. Trusting Ho Fei-yu, Hanasaku Tenkawa didn't buy the litter or scoop.
The total for the cat and all the equipment came to ¥70,000. Of course, Hanasaku Tenkawa paid the money. Ho Fei-yu was willing but unable; he could only scrape together about ¥4,000 in cash, barely enough for a few bags of cat food. However, the girl firmly refused to let him pay, stating that she would be raising the cat.
Ho Fei-yu knew the girl was trying to spare him, but he felt a sense of defeat—he was too poor. Although he could ask Mitsuko-san, the rich older woman, for money, and she would give it to him, he felt it wasn't right.
Ho Fei-yu realized that all the women in his life were wealthy. Not to mention Reika Kurashiki, who offered ¥1,000,000 off the bat, or Mitsuko-san, who owned an apartment building; even the girl right in front of him lived in a small villa and carried wads of ¥10,000 bills. He had roughly estimated she had at least ten of them.
This solidified his resolve to find a part-time job immediately after completing the mission to conquer Hanasaku Tenkawa. After all, a lack of money makes even a hero helpless.
After settling up, the two left the pet store. Ho Fei-yu carried the bags of cat food and the cat equipment, while Hanasaku Tenkawa held the cat cage. Her beautiful purple eyes lingered on the cat, and she occasionally made little 'meow' sounds, her face alight with smiles.
Tedious times make the clock feel slow, but happy times fly by.
"Fei-yu-kun, would you like to come in and sit down?" The two soon arrived at Hanasaku Tenkawa's doorstep. Just as Ho Fei-yu was hesitating about whether to go in, the girl's voice chimed in.
"I can't carry all this stuff..." Ho Fei-yu looked at the girl. Hanasaku Tenkawa, thinking the boy was hinting at something else, immediately blushed and added.
"Okay." After he agreed, Hanasaku Tenkawa put the cage down, took out her key, and opened the door.
"Excuse me for the intrusion." Ho Fei-yu recalled the B-list films he watched in his past life. Even with the lewd content, there was some etiquette. He mimicked what he remembered, bowing as he entered the door and speaking politely.
"Pfft." "I'm the only one home, you don't need to do that." The girl couldn't help but laugh at Ho Fei-yu's behavior, her face looking pure and cute.
"Heh heh." Ho Fei-yu scratched his head awkwardly. To be honest, in the year since he transmigrated, he hadn't focused on etiquette much. Partly because he was busy studying, and partly because he wasn't naturally interested in it.
But now that he needed to use it, he realized it was better to learn a little so he didn't embarrass himself in front of the person he liked.
"Fei-yu-kun, wear these slippers. My father wore them, but I've washed them a few times. I hope you don't mind."
"Not at all." Ho Fei-yu and the girl took off their shoes together, and he put on the slippers the girl handed him.
He watched the girl slip off her white socks and stuff them into her white shoes, and a wicked thought actually crossed his mind—he wanted to smell them. He quickly shook his head, driving away the unhealthy urge. Ho Fei-yu wasn't sure if this was a lingering effect from his foot fetish in his past life or a newly acquired 'bad' habit since the women he met in this life all had beautiful legs and feet.
He wanted to play with them, but he would need the girl's permission. Otherwise, his nine years of compulsory education in his past life would have been for nothing.
"Cough! Hanasaku-chan, where should I put the things?" Ho Fei-yu followed the girl into the living room. It was completely quiet. To his left were presumably the girl's bathroom and kitchen, and to the right was the girl's resting area. The second floor was likely her parents' bedroom.
"Over there." Ho Fei-yu followed the direction the girl pointed, which seemed to be the balcony area. Ho Fei-yu carried all the items over and set them down. The cat was still in the cage, which the girl held in her hands.
"Fei-yu-kun, look how good the cat is."
"It didn't move around at all on the way here." Ho Fei-yu smiled inwardly at the girl's words. The moment he decided to buy this cat, he had fed it half of a Momotaro Dumpling and instructed it not to make any noise. The cat, naturally, was compliant.
"Hanasaku-chan, let the cat out now so it can get used to the environment."
"Oh, okay." Hanasaku Tenkawa opened the cage that was placed on the dining table, and the cat immediately jumped out.
"Waaah~ I'm its owner, so why is it clinging to Fei-yu-kun!!!" Hanasaku Tenkawa saw the cat jump out and rush toward her, thinking it was coming for a cuddle. She quickly opened her arms, ready to embrace it, but to her surprise, the cat jumped onto a chair and then directly onto Ho Fei-yu. The cat rubbed its head against his chest, and the girl couldn't help but whine jealously.
"Good kitty, meow, meow."
"Grrr~ grrr~" Ho Fei-yu simply smiled at the girl's complaint. He held the cat with one hand and stroked its head with the other. The cat closed its eyes and made pleased purring sounds.
"Waaah~ I want to pet it too!" Hanasaku Tenkawa, seeing the cat cling so closely to Ho Fei-yu, quickly walked up to the cat, wanting to pet it.
Ho Fei-yu, hearing the girl's desire, moved his hand away and watched as the girl slowly placed her hand on the cat's head. But before she could even touch it, the cat opened its eyes and turned its head away, seemingly communicating, Don't touch me, human.
"How could it be like this!!!" Hanasaku Tenkawa felt a little defeated. The cat she paid for wasn't affectionate towards her. She couldn't help but complain.
"Heh heh, there's actually a trick to it." Ho Fei-yu looked at the girl's slightly wronged face and pouting pink lips, feeling a strong urge to make out with her. He tempted the girl.
"What? Tell me quickly, Fei-yu-kun!" Hearing the boy's words, the girl immediately looked up, her purple eyes fixed on Ho Fei-yu with a look of eagerness.
"Are you sure? There's a price to pay!"
"Yes, I'm sure! I'm willing to pay!"
"Are you really truly sure?"
"Yes! I'm really truly sure!!!"
Ho Fei-yu said no more and immediately kissed the girl's pink lips. The girl was momentarily stunned but quickly responded fiercely.
"Meow, woof~" The cat was uncomfortably sandwiched between the two. It struggled free from Ho Fei-yu's arms, jumped onto the sofa, and lay down. Its small eyes looked at the two humans exchanging ink with a human-like look of disdain. After watching for a while, it grew bored, closed its eyes, and tucked its head down.
With the cat no longer in the way, Ho Fei-yu tightly embraced Hanasaku Tenkawa with both hands. The soft flesh on the girl's chest was pressed out of shape, but Ho Fei-yu's entire focus was on the girl's lips. This time, there was no one else around, and he wanted to properly savor the moment.
In the girl's territory, two small tongues were intertwined. Both their mouths secreted massive amounts of ink (saliva). Since their lips and teeth were joined, the ink was passed back and forth, making it impossible to distinguish whose was whose. Ho Fei-yu didn't care. He directly swallowed the saliva in his mouth, then sucked the saliva from the girl's mouth, swallowed that too, and continued their entanglement.
Hanasaku Tenkawa finally tapped the boy's back when she couldn't breathe. Ho Fei-yu reacted and immediately separated. The girl's face was completely flushed. Her normally pink lips were bright red from the boy's aggressive kissing.
"Hah... hah..." Hanasaku Tenkawa gasped for breath, her moist purple eyes looking at Ho Fei-yu with deep passion. Her flushed, pretty face was vibrant and charming.
Ho Fei-yu had originally planned to take out the Momotaro Dumpling to explain the trick, but seeing the girl in this state, he couldn't resist. He immediately lifted her by the waist and walked toward the sofa.
The sofa sank under the weight of the two bodies piled together. The girl was now facing Ho Fei-yu, her full, long legs straddling his thighs. Both her hands wrapped tightly around Ho Fei-yu's head, causing his entire face to be buried in the girl's snowy peaks.
The faint, sweet scent of the girl filled Ho Fei-yu's nostrils, but he was not satisfied. As if wanting to plunder more of the girl's fragrance, he forcefully burrowed his head into the girl's cleavage. The hand tightly embracing the girl's waist slowly slid down, passing through the girl's short skirt and touching a layer of silky fabric.
Ho Fei-yu knew what this was but paid it no mind, continuing downward. Half of his arm was now covered by the girl's short skirt. His hand touched the girl's full, rounded buttock. Softness, suppleness, and delicacy were the first things that came to mind. Such a beautiful object made him want to mar it. He forcefully kneaded the girl's full, rounded buttock as if kneading dough, continuously reshaping it in his hand.
