[Level One Alert! Level One Alert! All lords go to the east side of the school area to be on guard. Groups of dark creatures are gathering. Danger level: Tiger...]
Kusuko woke up with a start.
Great, it was just a dream... If it's a dream, then it's a prophetic dream, right!
Kusuko looked up and saw the main body looking at the scenery outside the window. He created a white cat doll in its place and teleported away.
On the bus, the bus driver looked at the passengers in the car from ti to ti through the rearview mirror: "Hey, in the back, students in the back?"
Is he calling ? Saiki Kusuo turned his head to look at the driver in front.
"I turned the air conditioner up a bit. You can pick up the doll. It's dirty on the ground, right?"
"It's okay... he's a real cat."
"You don't need to worry about it. This is a tolerant city."
Isn't that intolerant of even cats being on the ground? Saiki Kusuo pulled his leg back to block Kusuko's body a little. "We'll be getting off in a few stops."
"Ah, what I an is..."
"Driver! Start driving!" [That human might be a fetishist, treating the doll as a real cat. Don't ddle in other people's business! Driver!]
[Okay, okay, strange human.]
I think I heard sothing.
Saiki Kusuo looked up and stared ahead. The driver was already focused on driving.
Well, he was probably just talking softly. Although I didn't use pure hearing much before, it's obvious that my hearing is very good without even thinking about it.
My superpowers haven't recovered that quickly yet.
When the bus arrived at the station, Saiki Kusuo got up from his seat.
Kusuko followed behind, panting, which caught Saiki Kusuo's attention.
Do you not like crowded places?
Indeed, telepathy is very complex in shopping malls. He didn't like it before either. He didn't think it through.
Saiki Kusuo suggested: You can go back. And you probably can't bring a cat to work anyway.
Kusuko shook his head frantically. The problem has been solved. Although the voices in the shopping mall hurt his ears, and he felt so tired that he could fall asleep on the spot at any ti! But it's okay. Not being able to bring him to work is perfect. He can lie down at the entrance of the workplace and wait. No problem. Thinking about it this way, the break is just around the corner!
Kusuko followed closely behind.
And for Saiki Kusuo, this was the first ti entering a shopping mall without telepathy. Without the noisy voices, he could hear the mall's music and people's conversations. Occasionally, there were a few announcents. Other than that, although there were many people, he could still feel like an individual.
Although there were many people around, their eyes wouldn't et yours for more than a second. There were many groups of people, especially couples. The combination of one person and one cat looked more like a hobody group that had been kicked out of the house by their parents after staying at ho for too long.
Saiki Kusuo glanced at the shopping mall's directory and rembered the locations of several buffet restaurants.
This is my first ti working. Let's find a few stores that aren't too crowded.
The first one was a sukiyaki buffet restaurant. The sign for hiring servers was very clearly written next to the store's entrance. Saiki Kusuo stepped forward to ask.
Kusuko curled up on the chair at the door and closed his eyes to rest...
["This store looks good."
"The business isn't very good. The boss just wants to eat sothing sweet, right? Are we going to eat sothing sweet for lunch?"
"Well... there are other kinds of hot pots to choose from here. Don't you want to eat it? We can change it."
"Let's try it. And for so reason, my intuition tells that there's sothing here that makes people care..."]
"Everyone, look at the cat at the door."
At the sa ti, Kusuko also looked up and t the eyes of the group of people. There were four of them, Chrollo and the three female mbers of the Phantom Troupe. The first thing he saw was the ugly, bulging-eyed vacuum cleaner that wanted to eat him.
Kusuko woke up with a start. At that ti, Saiki Kusuo was taking over the store's exclusive apron to take office, but Kusuko hurriedly pulled him away.
Saiki Kusuo: ??
"I predicted an accident. Let's change stores!"
Saiki Kusuo accepted this reason.
The second one was a barbecue buffet restaurant. Compared to sukiyaki, it had more of a smoky atmosphere. After a day of work, he might have the sll of barbecue on his body.
Saiki Kusuo went up to ask. Kusuko lay down on the stool and felt a headache again.
["n should eat barbecue. They actually opened a buffet restaurant, haha. Uvogin, let's give him a lesson!"
"I'm not going to the buffet restaurant. Eating a free al at the roast whole lamb restaurant next door is the act of a thief."
"Ha! Are you going there? That's fine, too. Wait, look at that cat..."
Nobunaga and Uvogin instantly surrounded Kusuko. Uvogin's big face with a strange smile quickly approached.]
Nightmare!!
Kusuko stood up. With too much force, he broke the stool under his feet.
Saiki Kusuo ran out in surprise: "What's wrong? You..."
Because he had to speak to communicate with the store manager, Saiki Kusuo also spoke.
"I had a nightmare!"
Nightmare? Doesn't a nightmare an a prophetic dream?
"We can't stay here! Let's change places!"
Saiki Kusuo could tell from Kusuko's state that nothing good would happen if he stayed here. He took out money to pay for the stool and left with Kusuko.
The third store was a roast duck buffet restaurant.
A buffet restaurant featuring roast duck. As soon as he entered, he slled a very fragrant roast duck sll.
This ti, Kusuko hid inside the table at the front desk and dozed off again.
["Oh, I slled a very fragrant roast duck sll as soon as I entered. Not bad here."
"The money I stole yesterday is just enough for two people to eat a al. I guess it's still considered stealing."
"Then let's eat at this one."
"Hey, waiter, the store has two levels. What's on the second level... This table feels wrong when you knock on it."
"Hey, hey, look what I found here. We've been looking for it for so long..."
"Bang!" The sound of the table being destroyed!]
Kusuko woke up with a start! He broke the table with one strike of his tail!
What's going on? This group of persistent Phantom Troupe mbers were supposed to be looking for the chaleon cat. Are they just here to cause trouble?!
Saiki Kusuo walked out after hearing the noise and saw Kusuko and the frightened receptionist.
Who exactly is facing a nightmare?
Saiki Kusuo took out the little money he had left to pay for the table and left with Kusuko.
Kusuko had a gloomy look on his face. Hiding all the ti wasn't a solution. Since the Phantom Troupe mbers were going to co to this shopping mall, he might as well take this opportunity to eliminate the Phantom Troupe in one fell swoop and uphold justice on behalf of heaven.
Saiki Kusuo: Are you worried?
Kusuko stopped and realized that he had unknowingly walked several steps ahead of Saiki Kusuo.
What exactly did you foresee? Is it that I'll regain my superpowers today?
Kusuko shook his head frantically: "How could that be? Ordinary days will last for a long ti!"
Did I ss up every job?
Kusuko: No, the Phantom Troupe ssed it up. It's better not to talk about this.
"That's right! Mascot costu staff!" Since the Phantom Troupe mbers want to eat, let's just change jobs!
Mascot costu staff are usually on the first floor. It's already close to noon. Those Troupe mbers are likely to appear around.
Kusuko was on alert for people coming up and down the various elevators and escalators in the shopping mall while taking Saiki Kusuo to the ergency exit.
The ergency exit is very civilized. He should be glad that he chose to have ergency exits in the shopping mall even in the dark continent where there wouldn't be fires.
Kusuko looked around like a thief, using his tail to push open the door of the ergency exit while facing away from Saiki Kusuo to be on guard.
Saiki Kusuo: Wait a minute, Kusuko. I noticed you just now...
"Let's go to the ergency exit first. It's dangerous here, main body."
Saiki Kusuo: But that thing on your body is really intriguing. Can't you feel it?
"What thing?" Wait, why are there footsteps in the ergency exit?! Above, below too!
As soon as the door closed, Kusuko imdiately stretched out his tail to open the door.
Saiki Kusuo squatted down and held Kusuko's neck.
Kusuko was grabbed by the scruff of his neck by fate.
"Huh? Main body...? I didn't an anything else by bringing you here. If you want to find a mascot costu job, the service station is on the left side of the ergency exit on the first floor..." What do you want to do? What do you want to do here in the dark? What do you want to do, touching the scruff of my neck in this deserted and dark corner of the ergency exit?!
Kusuko beca nervous, lowered his tail, and ignored the approaching footsteps from above and below. Even closer than that was the main body's heartbeat, and his own heart was beating faster and faster. Wait, why is there another heart beating even faster?
Saiki Kusuo grabbed the fluffy "accessory" from the scruff of Kusuko's neck.
[I've been discovered! I was hidden so well by the change of color that it was like camouflage, the long shape makes it seem like a scarf. That's it!! Waaaaa, the world outside is so dangerous, I miss Nobunaga's chest, how I miss the boss' chest, how I miss Uvogin's chest, and I long for Paku...]
Saiki Kusuo held a small white ferret from it's tail, Kusuko looked glared at it, since it was now covered in his scent, crying.
He then "bit" the head of the ferret.
Rage. So this is what made the Phantom Troupe co straight at him every ti they t! Throw it in the trash. Let him go back to the stinky teor City and let all the Phantom Troupe mbers go back to that stinky teor City! ...Where did that murderous aura co from?
Kusuko looked up and saw Chrollo walking down the stairs above. The female mbers of the Phantom Troupe were walking up the stairs below.
Oh, they were just eting in the ergency exit to go eat, right?
Why are criminals and thieves walking through the ergency exit? Do they want to turn the ergency exit into a dead end?!
Kusuko suddenly realized that Machi's threads were everywhere. Paku was holding up a black hole gun below. Chrollo had a book in one hand and his other hand behind his back. The protruding-eyed fish was drooling and sticking out its big tongue, ready to be used by Shizuku in the back.
The spiders had surrounded them.
And they were all filled with murderous intent.
Kusuko raised his tail and arched his back.
Heh, don't think that my side is easy to bully. Today, I'll show you the power of a psychic...
Saiki Kusuo gently tapped Kusuko's nose with his index finger.
"Spit it out. You can't just eat rats."
Kusuko obediently spat the thing out on the ground.
Of course it didn't die. He wouldn't eat raw animals either. Although he turned into a cat, he's still a human being, right?
The white ferret, no, chaleon cat, shook the saliva off its face on the ground. It was convinced the end of the world had co today. While not forgetting to wash its face with its paws, it suddenly saw dress shoes in front of it.
Dress shoes with buttons on the surface, unparalleled strange dress shoes, pants with straps that are very suitable for climbing! This is!
The chaleon cat's eyes turned into teardrop bubbles, and it quickly climbed up Chrollo's pants, grabbing the straps and waistband, pulling the two belts and ca out of his shirt, lying on his shoulders.
"Wow?!" The exclamation ca from Saiki Kusuo.
Saiki Kusuo's eyes followed the escaping mouse before he found a row of people standing behind him. He was shocked like any ordinary person and almost sat down on the ground.
"The xx bullied ! xxx bullied too! And xx and xxx kept chasing and bullying ! It's good that I t a big cat with a subtle familiar scent. It was so nice, it even marked with saliva! Protect ! Waaaa!"
Kusuko: Who protected it with saliva? Put it down. I'll eat it right now.
"Okay, okay, it's good that you're back. We can't understand you if you don't turn into a parrot." Chrollo stroked the white ferret's head. The white ferret's head was buried in Chrollo's palm, and tears were falling.
"I'm sorry. I misunderstood just now. I thought you didn't know this was Mimi and were going to use it to feed the cat." Chrollo reached out to Saiki Kusuo, who was squatting on the ground.
Don't scare people. Really.
The Phantom Troupe's footsteps were especially light because they were looking for a lost pet.
Kusuko: Who would eat sothing that's snotty and teary like a mouse? Does he even rember that I'm a psychic cat?
Ten minutes later, the chaleon cat turned into a parrot and persistently told Chrollo about its great adventure.
"Thank you for helping find him, Saiki," Chrollo said.
No, I didn't do anything at all. Who knows when this thing got on Kusuko.
Saiki Kusuo patted Kusuko, signaling that Chrollo should thank the cat.
Chrollo looked at the cat and found that the cat was staring at the parrot-shaped chaleon cat on his shoulder and was emitting a subtle murderous intent.
Was it really this cat who saved him? Anyone would only think of cats looking at birds...
"Hey, I was originally human," Kusuko said, speaking human language.
"Oh, I rember. But what kind of person would hold an animal's head in their mouth?"
Kusuko searched his vast mory: "People who suck on cats?"
Chrollo: I see. So it likes small animals.
"I'm saying that so humans suck on cats like that, I'm not talking about my actions just now!"
"Your personalities are still similar," Chrollo comnted and said to Saiki Kusuo, "Since you helped find Mimi, I'll treat you to a al."
No need. I just had breakfast not long ago. I'm going to work now.
"You can't hear voices? Should I use telepathy? You should get used to talking, right? It's been so long." Chrollo took out a brooch from his pocket. The brooch was crushed by a tail before it even saw the world.
Chrollo looked at the remnants of the brooch on his fingertips and was silent for a short ti.
He understood it.
"I think it's necessary to treat you and the cat to a al. I'll be disciplined by the cat if I don't express my gratitude."
