Announcement at last.
....
Gojo family resident,
Gojo Satoru came back with Vanilla and Kikufuku in his arms, and shouted at the entrance while changing into indoor shoes.
"I'm back."
"Welcome back, Onii-chen/ Gojo-sensei/ Gojo-sama."
The two women and one shikigami sitting in the living room responded at the same time.
After changing, Gojo walked in directly.
"Meow~"
Vanilla in his arms let out a soft sound when she saw the unfamiliar room.
Stare~~~
Three pairs of eyes looked over in unison.
"It's so cute! Kinako, look! We finally found your cousin!"
"Oh hoo~!"
"I'm a shikigami!" Kinako shouted immediately. "This little cat is not my kind at all! Mrs. Umaru and Benio, why are you both making that weird 'oh hoo' sound?!"
The three (or rather, the three-and-a-half) started arguing noisily together.
After Gojo sat down on the sofa, Vanilla jumped out of his arms and looked around curiously.
"Onii-chan, why did you suddenly decide to raise a kitten?" Umaru Gojo walked over from the other side of the sofa, sat beside Gojo Satoru, and asked suspiciously.
"It's really pretty…" Benio Adashino nodded with a red face, looking longingly at Vanilla. "Can I hug her, Gojo-sensei?"
That made Kinako, who was lying on Benio's shoulder, instantly jealous.
Obviously, I'm also half-cat. Why didn't Benio-sama react like this when she first saw me?
"It's called Vanilla." Gojo Satoru waved his hand casually. "You can hug her if you want, Benio."
"As for why I'm keeping a cat…"
Gojo pinched his chin and thought for a moment. Then he said, uncertainly:
"On a whim?"
"The whim of a ghost," Umaru muttered without hesitation.
But Umaru was actually quite convinced by the words "on a whim." After all, you could never guess what Gojo Satoru wanted to do, or what was going on in his head.
Today he adopts a kitten.
Tomorrow he might adopt a puppy.
Or a crow.
Or… a strange cursed object from somewhere!
Umaru didn't want to think too deeply.
Benio carefully picked up Vanilla. Vanilla didn't resist, she only blinked and looked at Benio with curious eyes.
Suddenly, Benio felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
As she —
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…"
Instantly started rubbed her face against Vanilla, feeling the soft white fur against her cheek.
Looking at the shameful scene, Kinako jealousy became even stronger.
That hateful "little third party" actually stole Benio-sama's love from me!
Then Kinako suddenly froze.
Eh? Wait. If Benio-sama likes kittens that much…Then I can become a kitten too!
Thinking of that, Kinako felt it was completely doable.
He jumped off Benio's shoulder, sat on the table, then lay down in a very "cat-like" posture, and started meowing in a sweet, enchanting tone.
"Meow~ meow~ Benio-sama… I'm also a kitten~"
"…Uh."
The living room froze instantly.
Umaru froze.
Benio froze.
Even Vanilla froze in Benio's arms and stared at Kirara like she was looking at something beyond her understanding.
{T/N: I know that normal animals aren't supposed to see him but lets just say that some special animals have gain a special ability to sense or see the spirit/shinigami/curse spirit in this world}
"Meow~ Meow~ Meowww~"
But Kirara kept meowing, endlessly, and even used her paws to gesture in the air like a real cat trying to act cute.
It felt like this would definitely win back Benio-sama's attention.
After all, how could this street cat compare to the most cutest Shinigami Kinako!
"Blegh—"
Finally, Gojo Satoru couldn't take it anymore and retched directly to the floor.
"Ah! What's wrong with you, Onii-chan?!" Umaru panicked immediately. "Don't puke here, there's a trash can here! Be good! Aim at the trash—Blegh—!"
Before she could finish, Umaru herself was also disgusted into retching. Before she control herself as she pulled her brother towards the trash can.
The two siblings vomited together into the trash can.
Their expressions and movements were unbelievably synchronized.
As expected of you siblings!
"Ah...Kinako, you don't have to do this." Benio Adashino said with a very uncomfortable face.
Vanilla in her arms also had a look of disgust, as if she was judging Kirara in her heart.
"…Okay then." Kirara pouted and finally stopped acting like a cat.
After retching for about ten seconds, well, the two siblings didn't actually vomit anything, but they leaned weakly on the sofa like they had just suffer the fate of eating a 3 months old expired milk.
Gojo Satoru took off his sunglasses and placed them on the table.
Then, like he was searching for something important, he patted his pockets up and down.
Umaru thought he was looking for his phone.
But instead—
Gojo pulled out a brand new catnip ball.
"Hey, Kinako." Gojo held it up. "Want to try it?"
Holding the catnip ball, he looked like a suspicious man trying to lure a kid away with candy!
"What?"
Kinako leaned closer and sniffed it.
Then he slapped it away with her paw, wearing an expression full of disgust.
"No thanks. It smells awful."
"Yes?" Gojo nodded seriously.
Then suddenly—
He slid the catnip ball through the air, up and down, left and right, and shouted dramatically:
"Here comes the little flying stick—!"
"Aaaaah~~!"
Kinako instantly jumped into the air, stuck out his tongue, and caught the catnip ball like a dog.
After catching it, he slammed it onto the table and started licking it wildly.
Benio, Umaru, and even Vanilla couldn't stand it anymore.
… Kinako, if you're going to behave like a cat, then be a cat.
Why did you stick your tongue out mid-air and catch it like a dog?!
And can you be more gentle while licking?!
After only a few licks, Kinako collapsed to the floor.
His tongue hung out.
He stared at the ceiling with dull eyes.
"Gojo-sensei…" Benio asked cautiously. "Is Kirara… okay?"
Even though she didn't like Kirara's coquettish behavior just now, but after all, they have lived together for several years, and it must be false to say that they doesn't care for each other, and both parties have spent the most time with each other.
"It's fine." Gojo said calmly. "He's just… high."
"Licking catnip can actually make him high…?" Umaru muttered.
Then she suddenly realized something.
"Oh! Case closed! Kirara is a cat shikigami!"
Benio's eyes widened.
"…That's… actually true."
She said, while glancing at the cat shinigami of her's.
.....
After that small incident, the three of them ate Kikufuku and watched anime on TV.
As for Kinako, he still hadn't recovered.
He was still lying on the floor, occasionally twitching his tail, with the face of someone who had just experienced a spiritual breakthrough.
Vanilla sat on the sofa between Benio and Umaru, quietly licking her paws, looking extremely well-behaved.
Gojo Satoru leaned back lazily, his long legs stretched out.
After finishing the last Kikufuku in his hand, Gojo stood up and asked naturally.
"What do you want to eat tonight?"
"Kung Pao Chicken!" Umaru shouted immediately.
"Yakimochi."
The two women said in unison.
Gojo nodded.
"Kong Pao Chicken is fine. Hmm, we can add some side dish to go with it. As for Yakimochi…" Gojo thought for a moment. "I still have a few in the refrigerator. Lets, eat them as dessert after dinner."
After deciding the menu, Gojo walked toward the kitchen, ready to cook.
Gojo Satoru was extremely good at making all kinds of cuisine.
And he even liked it.
Umaru once said it was unfair.
Because Gojo already had a face that could destroy many people's heart, and now he could cook too.
That was simply cheating!
Gojo took out a pink apron and tied it around his waist.
He didn't look awkward at all.
Who said that only woman can like pink color. They had clearly not seen Black Goku!!
Umaru watched him from the sofa.
"…Onii-chan."
"Hm?" Gojo answered while taking out ingredients.
"Why are you wearing that apron again?" Umaru asked, her tone full of disbelief.
Gojo didn't even turn around.
"Because it's comfortable."
Benio's face turned slightly red.
Gojo-sensei… looks… surprisingly good…
Then Benio quickly shook her head, with a red face.
Oh, by the way, this pink apron was bought by Subaru Mitejima, who said he would look good in it while cooking.
