"No feeling."
"Really?"
"Yes."
Bayonetta said very certainly.
"When I hugged you, I also didn't feel anything, after all, you were a cat at the time."
Bayonetta heard the meaning in Aiden's words, narrowed her eyes and asked, "So you want to hug the current me?"
Aiden didn't admit it, "I didn't say that."
"A man whose mouth says no but heart says yes." Bayonetta glanced at him, then turned her body sideways, supporting the back of her head as she looked at him, "Want to hug for a bit?"
Aiden couldn't tell if these words were true or not, but it felt about seventy or eighty percent true, so he said, "Of course I want to, but would you agree?"
"What do you think?" Bayonetta answered ambiguously, but her body leaned a bit closer to Aiden, so close that they were already touching, so Aiden could once again feel her butt, which looked even more voluptuous than Jeanne's.
However, Aiden hated this kind of ambiguous answer the most, and said irritably, "What do you mean 'what do I think'? If you agree, nod. If you don't, shake your head. I hate guessing the most."
A woman's thoughts, don't try to guess them. No matter how much you guess, you'll never figure them out.
This lyric applies equally well to a witch.
Bayonetta bit the lollipop in her mouth with a crunching sound, then said, "That's too direct. I'm a lady, of course I have to be a bit reserved."
Aiden pulled at the corner of his mouth, "Aren't you a witch? How are you a lady again? Also, your current posture isn't reserved at all!"
He pointed to Bayonetta's butt pressed against him, which had already been squished out of shape.
"Isn't this nice?" Bayonetta asked, pretending to be surprised.
'Of course not, because you're too reserved, I still prefer your earlier posture…' Of course Aiden couldn't say that, so he remained silent.
"Hm, I know you're definitely thinking right now, that the earlier posture was better, right? You're just too embarrassed to say it, right?" The black-haired witch actually saw through Aiden's real thoughts, asking two rhetorical questions in a row.
This time, Aiden had no choice but to speak, "Don't slander me out of thin air, I wasn't thinking that at all."
The black-haired witch sighed and said, "Men, always saying one thing and meaning another."
As a witch, Bayonetta seemed to be able to see the real thoughts in people's hearts, so of course she could tell that Aiden was just being stubborn.
However, she instead thought Aiden was quite cute when he was being stubborn.
And for a man she found cute, naturally, she would be very interested, so she always wanted to tease him a bit.
Yet just as she was preparing her next move, Aiden suddenly stood up and said, "Ah, we've been out for a long time, let's go back first."
"Miss Cat, are you going back with me like this, or are you going to turn into a cat so I can carry you back?"
"So you still want to hug me?" Bayonetta's focus was very off.
Aiden didn't speak, just looked at her.
"Alright, alright, I'll indulge you once." Bayonetta said to herself, then looked left and right, saw no one around, and turned back into a cat.
Agilely jumping into Aiden's arms, Miss Cat adjusted into a comfortable position and lay down.
Looking at the suddenly so obedient Miss Cat, Aiden actually felt a little unaccustomed to it, but he soon shook his head, tossing out all the stray thoughts in his mind, then used his left arm to steadily support Miss Cat's body, and gently used his right hand to stroke her back.
Miss Cat's fur felt even smoother than silk, he found it hard to stop.
But if Miss Cat were really just a cat, that would be fine. The issue is, Miss Cat is a witch, a woman, so Aiden's stroking of her back felt more like caressing, which made not only her body itch a little, but her heart as well.
But she didn't say anything, even half-closed her eyes, seeming… a bit like she was enjoying it.
Then, she suddenly thought of a question, and abruptly opened her eyes, speaking human words, "You don't like me in cat form, do you?"
"How could I, I'm not a furry, don't talk nonsense." Aiden hurried to defend his preferences.
Actually, even he wasn't sure whether he was a furry or not, since up until now, he hadn't met a real beast-girl.
Of course, being a furry doesn't only mean being into beast-girls, it usually refers to certain furry animals, but in Aiden's understanding, it just meant liking beast-girls.
But one thing is certain, he's not into animals. Though he does crave animals' bodies, usually in the way that makes your mouth water.
"That's good. Even though I'm a witch, I still can't accept a human being into animals." Miss Cat breathed a sigh of relief, thankful the man she liked wasn't a pervert.
Then she continued to narrow her eyes, enjoying Aiden's caress.
And at that moment, Aiden also began thinking about something.
"Come to think of it, in your current form, you're technically not wearing any clothes, right?"
"More or less." Miss Cat said lazily.
"Then in that case, if I flipped you over…"
Before Aiden could finish speaking, Miss Cat cut him off.
"Don't even think about it."
'At least for now, don't think about it.'
Miss Cat added in her heart. She wasn't ready yet.
"Fine, I won't think about it. But right now, you lying in my arms is pretty much the same as being naked, isn't it?" Aiden continued.
Miss Cat's body stiffened.
'It really… kind of is.'
So last night, did she sleep with him all night… without wearing anything?
———
Aiden didn't go directly back to Enzo's house, since right now Enzo's wife was the only one home, and it didn't seem right to just go back like that, so he kept walking outside with Miss Cat in his arms.
He walked who knows how long, until he finally saw Enzo driving back.
"You weren't out wandering the streets with that cat the whole time, were you?" Enzo parked the car in front of Aiden and asked curiously.
"Yeah, you weren't home, I didn't dare go to your house." Aiden nodded.
"Why?" Enzo clearly hadn't thought that far.
Aiden said directly, "Because your wife is home alone."
"Uh, alright then, I see you're a gentleman." Enzo instantly understood Aiden's meaning. He patted the car door and said, "I'm back now, no need to worry anymore. Get in, let's go home."
Aiden nodded, freed up a hand to press the car door, nimbly jumped into the car, and after sitting down, he asked, "Have you chosen the burial site?"
"It's chosen, in a small town near the city. The agent said the environment there is really good." Enzo said, "And the grave's already dug. We can bury Rodin tomorrow."
"Tomorrow, huh…" Aiden's gaze flickered. That means tomorrow is the official start of Bayonetta's plot.
Looking down at the sleeping Miss Cat in his arms, Aiden curled his lips. Looks like it'll be hard to see Miss Cat again from now on. After all, she'll be busy too.
Thinking regretfully like that, Aiden's hand returned to Miss Cat's back, and began stroking even more gently.
Somehow, he really did seem to prefer Miss Cat, after all, the witch in human form wasn't nearly as docile as she was in cat form.
———
Because they had walked outside for a long time, by the time they returned to Enzo's home, Enzo's wife was already preparing lunch.
"You've been out so long, you must be hungry. Rest for a bit, lunch will be ready soon." Enzo's wife was very virtuous. While working on the food, she said this to the two who had just entered.
Upon hearing this, Aiden smiled and said to Enzo, "You have a great wife."
"Jealous, huh?" Enzo said proudly.
Aiden, of course, wasn't jealous. When it came to being cared for, the women at his place weren't lacking either, but he still nodded, "A little."
"Want me to introduce you to someone? One of my wife's girlfriends is also a traditional European woman, just like us." Enzo stood on tiptoe and patted Aiden's shoulder, seemingly forgetting Jeanne.
Hearing this, Miss Cat in Aiden's arms opened her eyes slightly and glanced at him.
"No need, I already have a girlfriend." Aiden reminded him.
However, Bayonetta, hearing this, thought he was talking about her, so she immediately closed her eyes again, thinking to herself, I didn't agree to that.
But Enzo knew who Aiden was talking about, and could only shake his head, "What a pity, that girl's really great."
"No matter how great she is, she's not half as good as my girlfriend." Aiden praised Jeanne.
At the same time, Bayonetta was thinking, 'Hmm, not bad. I really am a good woman.'
