I take the sip of my second coffee and wait. It's been three days since my outburst at the hospital. Lan Hui Yao brought ho on the sa day. Next day, he called and told that he can send sowhere far away if I still wish to. I haven't answered him yet.
Yesterday, I received an unexpected ssage from an unknown number. That person told that I should et him at the spot where I was reborn.
I was suspicious of the ssage first. Why suddenly? It's been more than a month since I am reborn. Who can this person be? Not anyone normal. Anyway, I want to see this person. If this person is related to my rebirth, he is getting a beating. If it is a prank, he is still getting a beating. After this, I am going to the school to find that ghost at the rooftop,
A white cat jumps on the table. I am startled. The coffee cup falls on my lap but doesn't spill over my clothes. A miracle. I tightly hold the cup and frown at the cat.
"Yo! Finally, found you."
I look around. The coffee shop is not crowded. I am sitting alone on the table near the window. I can see the corner where Sung Jun and I t for the first ti in my both lives. That's also the place where I was reborn.
"We were supposed to et there." The white cat with beautiful heterochromia eyes is licking its paw. Its one eye is yellow and another eye is blue.
I turn my gaze away. This cat is beautiful, but I am not a cat person or a dog person. I am immune to beautiful people or animal after being around Sung Jun for a long ti.
"Hey!" The cat's paw is up. "Why are you ignoring ?"
I don't answer. I stare at the cat blankly. I look around the coffee shop. Nobody is paying attention to the talking cat. Am I going crazy? What is this disease called? Shit! I was not serious when I said that going to ntal asylum was better than living like this. Dear God, please don't take seriously. I don't want to go to a ntal asylum. Seeing ghost is enough insanity.
"Don't worry. They won't notice ." The cat sits down on the table, playfully moving its tail. "We were supposed to et at that place." It points at the place where Sung Jun and I t for first ti with its paw.
"What the hell are you?" I whisper to the cat.
"I am the god of ti." The white cat blinks once. "You don't recognise your benefactor?"
"What benefactor?"
"I am the one who gave you another life," The cat answers arrogantly. "I am the one who turned back ti. I am the one who granted your wish. I am your sponsor, Rene Reis."
I leave the money for the coffee on the table. I pick that cat by his scruff.
"Hey, what are you doing? I am a god. Kneel on the floor and apologise." The cat screams and tries to scratch my face. The waitress looks at with confusion.
"It's my pet. It follows everywhere."
"Lies! I am not your pet. Puny human! I am a god. How can you do this to ? Put down this instant or I will incinerate you into ashes."
I don't reply. The people in the coffee shop looks in our direction, but they aren't get astonished by this talking cat. I assu that they can't hear what I can hear.
"FANG AISA! YOU WILL REGRET THIS."
I take the cat with to an isolated alley and throw it on the ground. The white ball rolls and jumps on its four feet. It eyes with fury.
"Before you start..." I crack my knuckles. "Let tell you this. If you are really a god, I don't appreciate your help. I didn't want you to turn back ti and give this life."
The cat blinks again. I have to admit. This cat with heterochromia eyes is beautiful. It can beco a cat model. If I raise it, I can take its picture and put them on social dia. I will gain followers and opportunities to earn money. This kind of thing is a trend in the future.
But it's a talking cat who thinks that it's a god.
"Second, if you are truly a god, I don't think that you will be a cat. You would have incinerated into ashes the mont I grabbed you."
Suddenly, the cat launches itself on my face. I shift to the left. The cat falls into the dumpster behind with a crash. In the next mont, there is another loud crash right at the spot where I was standing.
When the dust clears, I can see a boy around seventeen in a long black coat and a mask. In his hand, there is a bare sword half dug into the spot where I was standing a mont ago.
Cosplayer? Isn't he into his role too much?
He stands up straight and points his sword at . His thin lips curl downward.
"What are you?" He asks in English.
"Do you know that it's illegal to walk around with a real sword?" The tip of the sword moves an inch closer to my throat. "A foreigner like you will end up in a major problem if you attack a civilian."
"What are you?" He repeats the question.
"Move this sword first." I frown at the cosplayer. He isn't a psychopath who kills young girls in alleys, is he?
"What are you?" He doesn't move the sword.
Behind him, the cat is making weird gestures. I don't understand what the cat is trying to say. I smile at the boy. I must an opening.
"Homo sapien." I put my hand in my pocket and find a coin.
At the sa ti, Wang i appears out of nowhere. This ti, her foot finds its mark. I flinch when I hear the crack. The sword falls on the ground. The boy's wrist is broken. That must have hurt.
To my surprise, the boy doesn't cry or show any pain. Wang i doesn't waste any ti and picks up the sword.
"Say, how should I end your life?"
