Hmm... He's not big enough to be called a panda yet. It seems he needs to help Mr. Pan gain weight and evolve.

Yuta Kijima thought about it... but he didn't bring up the idea now. Besides, if it's a male kitten, should he consider it later?

Mr. Pan, who was lying in Kitagawa Kaimu's arms, was suddenly startled. He looked up blankly and glanced around. After finding no danger, he relaxed and enjoyed the massage from the two humans in front of him.

It hasn't yet realized the seriousness of the situation.

……

And so it went on until dusk.

Kitagawa Kaimu looked at Mr. Pan, who was lying on Kato Megumi's lap enjoying her caresses, with a reluctant expression, but she hardened her heart when she thought about the class she couldn't miss tomorrow.

"Damn it! Why is Yuta's house so comfortable?! I don't want to leave!"

Kijima Yuta: "..."

Kitagawa Kaimu puffed out her cheeks: "The thought of the academic test next week makes me so sad!"

Despite her complaints, she still got up and packed her things.

Of course, she looked back several times with reluctance as she walked from the living room to the door, but the object of her gaze was her feline overlord, Mr. Pan.

Yuta Kijima coughed lightly: "My home is right here, it's not going anywhere. You can come over whenever you want if you miss Mr. Pan. But I suggest you focus on getting through your exams first."

"Ah."

Kitagawa Kaimu nodded dejectedly.

She also knew the priorities; the beautiful woman in the brothel was a graveyard...

"Then I'll leave first."

"Okay, remember to let me know when you get home safely."

After seeing Kitagawa Kaimu off, Kijima Yuta returned to the living room.

The Nishimiya sisters also got up to take their leave.

"Brother Yuta, I'll take my sister back now." Nishimiya Yuzuru gave the cat a final pat, then pulled his sister up to say goodbye.

"Well, shall I take you to the tram station?" Kijima Yuta knew he couldn't keep Shoko and the others too late, so he didn't try to stop them. Instead, he asked softly if they wanted him to escort them himself.

Yuzuru Nishimiya shook his head: "No need. It only takes a few minutes to get to the tram stop from Yuta-nii's house. There's no need to trouble Yuta-nii with such a short distance."

"Mom will come to pick us up when we get there."

Even though she's a middle school student now, she still feels a bit helpless about her mother's worries.

Seeing this, Yuta Kijima didn't say anything more. He said goodbye to Shoko in sign language and then saw the two sisters into the elevator.

When we returned to the living room...

Only Kato Megumi and Mr. Pan on her lap remained...

Chapter 157 Mr. Pan

After feeling his gaze.

Kato Megumi looked up and quietly petted the cat without saying a word.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

Yuta Kijima smiled slightly, sat down next to her, and casually picked up the cat and petted it.

"By the way, what are the plans for the school festival a few days later, Megumi?"

Kato Megumi's eyes flickered slightly as she gazed at the cat curled up in Kijima Yuta's arms: "Hmm... there wouldn't have been anything wrong, but this school festival is a group activity, and I didn't get any special treatment like Yuta..."

"I should stay at school for the next few days, just in case something unexpected happens during class activities."

"Ah... I see." Kijima Yuta was a little disappointed. If it weren't for the strange supervision mechanism in Megumi's class, he would have invited Megumi to go to the beach. He had plenty of time on his hands.

Since Hui can't get away now, he has no choice but to obediently work from home.

Kato Megumi tilted her head, parted her lips slightly, and asked, "What? Does Yuta have something to say?"

Yuta Kijima said, "It's nothing. Since Megumi has already made arrangements, I'll work hard too."

Kato Megumi nodded.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

After a short rest.

Kato Megumi stood up and said, "It's getting late, so I'll head back now, Yuta."

Yuta Kijima nodded: "I'll take you."

"Hmm..." Kato Megumi hesitated for half a second, then nodded slightly: "Okay."

Then, as if she had just remembered something, she asked, "Yuta, the wound on your back has almost healed, hasn't it?"

Yuta Kijima paused slightly and said, "It's almost done, but it's inconvenient to take a shower. I haven't taken a shower in the past few days."

"Yuta, just bear with it for a few more days. You can wash it off after the scabs fall off."

“Eh…” Kijima Yuta looked at Megumi’s profile.

"What's wrong?" Kato Megumi noticed his gaze and said casually, "Anyway, Yuta, you should just wait for your wound to heal."

Yuta Kijima remained silent. I hadn't even said anything yet, and you'd already made your prediction.

Is this what they call telepathy...?

"Cough cough."

He coughed lightly and changed the subject, saying, "Come on, I'll take you to the station."

Then, he put Mr. Pan, whom he was holding, into the cat's bed.

It's too small now, so I won't take it around everywhere.

In front of the tram station entrance.

Kato Megumi looked at Kijima Yuta beside her and said softly, "Alright, Yuta, you should go home too. I'll send you a message to let you know I'm safe when I get home."

"It's okay, I'll leave after you leave, anyway, I'm nearby."

Kato Megumi gently pursed her cherry lips, her slender, white fingers twirling a strand of hair beside her ear, and said lightly, "Even if you give me something this time, I don't have any gift to give in return."

Yuta Kijima was embarrassed. Was his intention so obvious? I didn't have any other thoughts when I saw you off at the station. Your words were really hurting me.

Seeing Kato Megumi's sly and mischievous expression, Kijima Yuta couldn't help but chuckle.

"Hui, don't think of me as such a... strange person."

Kato Megumi looked up at his righteous expression, a slight smile playing on her lips, and said softly, "Really... I can't let Yuta come to see me off again."

"I'm going back first."

Before he could react, Kato Megumi took a step back, turned around, and walked towards the entrance.

Yuta Kijima was momentarily lost in thought; Megumi had already walked far away...

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Saturday arrived in the blink of an eye.

Eight o'clock in the morning.

Yuta Kijima had already woken up. After getting ready and washing up, he went to the living room.

"Meow~"

"Meow...meow..."

As soon as I stepped into the living room, I heard Mr. Pan's soft, childlike meow.

The last sentence doesn't sound like cat language, does it?

Yuta Kijima was a little confused and looked up.

Wearing casual clothes, Yukino Yukinoshita is sitting on the sofa with Mr. Pan in her arms, and they are currently having a conversation, each of them saying one sentence at a time.

But it was obvious that her meowing was not up to par, which prompted Mr. Pan in her arms to meow incoherently.

Although he couldn't understand it, Yuta Kijima felt that Mr. Pan was correcting his foolish servant's pronunciation.

Hearing the sudden footsteps in the living room, Yukino Yukinoshita was startled and slowly turned her head, only to see him leaning against the wall staring at the scene.

"I didn't realize Kijima-san had the habit of waking up early on weekends." Yukino Yukinoshita immediately reverted to her usual cold expression, speaking in a detached tone.

Yuta Kijima shook his head. "I'm supposed to be a good neighbor who helps you take care of Mr. Pan, right? There's no need to give me a cold shoulder first thing in the morning..."

"You can't apply that wrong view to me, Yukinoshita-san. I'm usually very busy, okay?" Kijima Yuta shrugged.

Just as Yukino was about to say something, Mr. Pan, who was lying flat in her arms, couldn't stay still and tried to break free from her embrace.

Because it heard the voice of its best servant.

It is the human who frequently makes offerings to himself.

"Meow~ Meow meow!"

Yukino looked at Mr. Pan, who was struggling to break free from her arms, with a puzzled expression. What's wrong with you? Aren't I your first master?

Kijima Yuta: "..."

After taking care of him for a while, he has come to understand Mr. Pan's living habits: he is closest to whoever eats it.

It's no wonder that Yukino Yukinoshita is puzzled by Mr. Pan's current actions, since she hasn't been there when he's feeding her these past few days, and clearly hasn't been aware of the situation.

“Uh… Yukinoshita.” Seeing that Mr. Pan in her arms was still struggling, Kijima Yuta hurriedly said, “Mr. Pan must be hungry. The cat food is over there on the TV cabinet.”

Yukino Yukinoshita was struggling to control Mr. Pan, who was struggling in her arms, when she heard Yuta Kijima's suggestion and hurriedly carried him to the TV cabinet.

I poured a bowl full of cat food.

After putting Mr. Pan down, it quietly began to eat its cat food, glancing admiringly at Yukino Yukinoshita beside it.

They're pretty savvy; this time they managed to barely make it into the second servant position.

Yukino Yukinoshita remained silent, unsure of what to say.

At the crucial moment, it was Yuta Kijima who broke the awkward silence: "Mr. Pan is growing a lot lately, so he's been eating more..."

He silently added in his mind, "In a few months, Yukinoshita-kun, you'll be able to get a panda."
