"Chocolate?" Kaoru Kusano picked up the kitten and looked it over. "That name isn't bad..."
"Officer Matsuda, this chocolate isn't the same as the heroine from Nekopara you mentioned earlier, is it?"
Yue Yexue, who was standing to the side, suddenly asked.
That woman's guess was spot on!
“That’s right…” Matsuda nodded helplessly.
As expected, Officer Matsuda really likes girls with cat ears!
Yoko, standing to the side, recalled how she had imitated a cat's meow earlier.
The fleeting look of excitement on Matsuda's face.
When I get back, I'll look for places that sell cat ear and cat tail decorations!
Yoko thought to herself silently.
"Chocolate, chocolate..."
After playing with the cat for a while, Kusano Kaoru suddenly remembered something.
"Officer Matsuda, we don't even know if this cat has an owner yet. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to name it so hastily?"
“It’s alright,” Matsuda explained. “I know the cat’s owner. He just happened to be busy these past few days and has entrusted the cat to my care temporarily.”
On his way back to the ward from the bathroom, Matsuda did ask a nurse he knew about the cat, and the answer he received was that the cat didn't have an owner.
Although it stayed in the hospital and was very friendly to people, it was actually still considered a stray cat.
After speaking with a nurse he knew, Matsuda easily obtained custody of the kitten.
"Huh? Was it Officer Matsuda who took care of you?"
Kusano Kaoru, somewhat disappointed, tapped the kitten's nose with her finger.
"I was just thinking that if it were a stray cat, I would adopt it."
As she spoke, the girl held up the wound on the back of her hand to the kitten's eyes.
"Look, you just cut my hand."
"Meow……"
Hoshino Terumi looked at the bloodstains on Kusano Kaoru's hand and regretted her earlier rashness.
She was the oldest in the Earth Ladies group, and therefore always treated the other three girls like younger sisters.
Seeing that his youngest sister, Kusano Kaoru, had been injured by him, he subconsciously stuck out his tongue and gently licked the wound on the back of her hand.
"Ouch, it itches..."
Kusano Kaoru smiled and withdrew her hand.
At that moment, her gaze fell upon the similar scars on Matsuda's hands to those on the back of her own.
"Was Officer Matsuda also scratched by chocolate?"
Before Matsuda could answer, Kusano Kaoru handed him the chocolate.
"Chocolate, this is also your doing! Hurry up and lick it so Officer Matsuda will forgive you!"
Hoshino Terumi was stunned by Kusano Kaoru's words.
Matsuda looked at her with amusement.
Let's wait and see how she handles it.
Hoshino Terumi also noticed the smile in Matsuda's eyes.
It glared angrily at Matsuda with its bright green cat eyes, raised its paw, and was about to give Matsuda another slap.
Unfortunately, Kusano Kaoru had been keeping an eye on it.
Just as Hoshino Terumi raised her arm, Kusano Kaoru grabbed her cat paw.
"Chocolate, don't grab people like that!"
After giving a reprimand, Kusano Kaoru brought it to Matsuda's hand, which had been scratched earlier.
"Just lick it once, and that'll be an admission of guilt."
"Never mind, it seems this little guy won't get close to me," Matsuda said with a smile, waving his hand.
Kusano Kaoru was unaware that Hoshino Terumi was currently inside the cat's body.
It's one thing to just join in the fun, but if you really embarrass Hoshino Terumi, it might be difficult to meet her again in the future.
Hoshino Terumi remained unconscious, leaving Yoko and the other two helpless and forced to wait for the hospital to find a solution.
However, all three of them had their own jobs and couldn't stay in the hospital indefinitely.
Because of Hoshino Terumi's matter, almost a day had already been wasted, and they were soon urged to go back to work by their respective managers.
Matsuda stayed at the hospital until Hoshino Terumi's manager arrived.
After handing the person over to the other party, he took Hoshino Terumi home.
……
In the apartment, Narumi was overjoyed to see the kitten Matsuda had brought back.
She busied herself for a long time and quickly made a small nest for the cat using cardboard boxes and sheets.
With accommodation sorted out, food became the next problem.
"Officer Matsuda, it seems we don't have any cat food at home?" Narumi asked, looking troubled.
"She can't eat cat food."
Matsuda shrugged and told Narumi everything about Hoshino Terumi.
"What? This cat's body contains a human soul, and it's that Ms. Hoshino Terumi?"
As Narumi spoke, she hurriedly got up, turned on the TV, and tuned it to Nichiri TV.
A TV drama featuring a female detective is currently airing in Japan. The female detective is played by Terumi Hoshino.
"Officer Matsuda, is the Hoshino Terumi you mentioned really her?" Narumi asked, pointing to the female lead on the TV.
“Yes, it’s Ms. Hoshino Terumi,” Matsuda nodded in confirmation.
Chapter 149 The Little Cat Detective
“I really like this TV series,” Narumi said, looking at the chocolate with a complicated expression.
"I never imagined that Ms. Hoshino's soul would be trapped inside a cat's body."
"Meow..." Hoshino Terumi lowered her head and let out a weak meow.
She also wondered why things would turn out this way, when she had only gotten up in the middle of the night, heard a little noise, and ran out to check.
"Since this cat's body is inhabited by Ms. Hoshino Terumi, it's true that we can't let her eat cat food. But if she eats the same thing as Officer Matsuda, her digestive system will probably have problems."
After saying this with concern, Narumi suddenly stood up.
"Never mind, I'll go ask at the pet store."
As soon as she finished speaking, she walked straight through the wall and went out the door.
Narumi's actions truly startled Hoshino Terumi.
Hoshino Terumi initially mistook Narumi for Matsuda's sister when she saw her at Matsuda's apartment.
After all, she had never heard from Yoko that Matsuda had a girlfriend.
But then, hearing Narumi repeatedly refer to him as "Officer Matsuda," Hoshino Terumi's mind immediately became suspicious again.
If she's a younger sister, why would she call her that?
Could it be that this beautiful girl really has an unusual relationship with Matsuda?
As the eldest member of the Earth Ladies Team, Hoshino Terumi naturally wouldn't stand by and watch her best friend get deceived.
She had already made up her mind to use these seven days to investigate the relationship between Narumi and Matsuda.
If there really is a problem between the two, once she recovers, the first thing she should do is immediately persuade Yoko to stay away from Matsuda.
However, just as Hoshino Terumi had this idea in mind, she witnessed Narumi walking through the wall.
Although she had witnessed all sorts of strange things today, and even turned into a cat herself,
But this was the first time that Hoshino Terumi had actually seen a ghost!
For Hoshino Terumi, neither Teng Xiangming nor the Ghost Knight were visible before.
Only Narumi, because she possesses the Joker, can freely reveal herself to others.
And in normal circumstances, he looks almost the same as a normal person.
But precisely because of this, seeing that she could actually pass through the wall undoubtedly gave Hoshino Terumi an even greater shock.
"Meow?"
Hoshino Terumi quickly leaped to Matsuda's side, her cat-like face filled with terror.
One paw gripped Matsuda's clothes, while the other paw trembled as it pointed at the wall where Narumi had just disappeared.
“Narima is not a living person, she is a spirit,”
Anyway, Hoshino Terumi will be staying here for the next week, so there's no way to hide it from her now.
Matsuda then directly told Narumi the truth.
"Meow?" Hoshino Terumi was taken aback.
That girl, was she really a ghost?
After a moment of stunned silence, she raised her paw again, first pointing at Matsuda, then at the wall where Naruto had disappeared.
"Are you asking what my relationship with her is?"
Matsuda checked and saw Hoshino Terumi nod.
He then continued, "Actually, Narumi was originally a doctor, before..."
