"Haha, I first thought you were an ordinary human, and then I thought you were a powerful monster.
"But now I realize that both of these are wrong. You are a complete lunatic! An arrogant lunatic!"
"Do you know how powerful those famous monsters are? How many monsters follow them?!"
"You don't think you're that powerful just because you can beat me, do you?! I can't even match a hair of those giant monsters!"
Nekomata once heard from a powerful friend that when those famous monsters launched the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons,
He can use his demonic energy to turn daylight into night! Its range can cover an entire city! The demons following him block out the sun and sky!
That's the pomp and ceremony that a true Ghost King should have when he travels!
"I haven't tried it yet, how do you know I can't do it?"
"As for saying I'm crazy, a cat that can speak human language has appeared, so why can't a human like me become the king of monsters?
"Little cat, you're lucky. Do you want to follow me? If you follow me now, you'll be a loyal follower of the dragon."
"In the future, there will be more dried fish than you can finish eating. You can eat one and throw one away. Eat one and throw one away. There is nothing else to do but enjoy it."
Qin Qi smiled. He was called a lunatic before, and now he was called a madman. This was how the world was. Just because you were different from the world, you would be looked at differently.
But he doesn't care about this, he will continue to move forward according to his own ideas!
"You really think I'm an ignorant little kitten. Do you think you can buy me off with two small dried fish?"
"I'm telling you, I'm not the kind of cat that would do something stupid just for a few dried fish."
The cat raised her head again. She would not be tempted by a few dried fish. She was a persistent and ethical cat.
"So you really want to eat dried fish."
Qin Qi looked at Maoyou's expression. He was just talking casually just now, but he didn't expect that this cat demon really liked to eat dried fish.
As expected, even if it is a cat demon, it still cannot change the habits of a cat.
"Hey, speaking of food, I'm a little hungry."
Qin Qi touched his stomach. Although he would not die if he did not eat, he would still feel hungry if he did not eat.
Moreover, compared to obtaining energy from the heaven and earth, eating is still his most efficient way to obtain energy!
"Meow, you're hungry. Do you want to come to my shop and eat ramen? My ramen is delicious."
After Maoyou exchanged a few words with Qin Qi, she felt that the person in front of her was not a bad person, and she was no longer afraid. She even invited Qin Qi to have dinner with her.
"Ramen...it's fine, as long as it fills my stomach."
Qin Qi thought about it and finally decided to eat ramen.
"You can call it ramen, but our ramen is delicious. You'll know once you try it."
The cat walked in front again, leading the way for Qin Qi with a real cat walk!
The man and the cat walked all the way to the edge of the town, where there was a shabby ramen shop, but it was closed at this time.
The little black cat brought Qin Qi to the back door, then skillfully reached its claws into the door lock, and the door lock opened with a click.
"Okay, come in."
The cat walked in again and turned back to greet Qin Qi.
"Kitty, is this really your home? You didn't just pick a random shop, pry open the lock, and bring me in, did you?"
"Although I'm very hungry, I still disdain to do something like stealing."
Qin Qi looked at the door in front of him. Why would this cat choose such a shabby shop instead of a wealthy one to steal things?
"Meow, don't talk nonsense. What's the point of stealing? I've lived here a hundred years ago. Who can say this isn't my home?
Nekomata was very angry about what Qin Qi said. She looked around and found a sign in the corner.
She showed it to Qin Qi. The sign said Black Cat Ramen Shop and there was a black silhouette of a cat on the far left.
"See, it has my name written on it, my image reflected on it, and my signature right next to it.
"I'm telling you seriously, even though I'm out there scaring people in the middle of the night, I'm not a stray cat!"
Nekomata was very unhappy about Qin Qi's suspicion of her. She had lived here for more than a hundred years, but today she was accused of being a thief.
She must let Qin Qi see that she is not a stray cat, she is a cat with a home and a family!
"Okay, okay, I get it. Don't be so excited."
Qin Qi looked at the ink mark of a cat's paw under the cat's dark shadow, and he instantly recognized that it was indeed the mark left by the cat's paw.
This store is really a cat shop.
He suddenly understood why the cat reacted so strongly. It was almost the same as telling a human that you were a homeless orphan.
Anyone would be anxious if this happened.
"Meow."
The cat finally calmed down and was about to call out a few times when it heard footsteps coming from inside the house. After a while, a person came out.
"Mama Cat, are you back?"
A little girl who looked about fourteen or fifteen years old came out of the darkness. She didn't light a lamp and walked towards me.
The room was pitch black at this time, but this did not affect Qin Qi's vision. He was able to treat the night as day.
He looked at the little girl. Although she looked fourteen or fifteen years old, she was just stunted. Judging from her bone age, she should be seventeen years old.
The little girl is very beautiful, with pure white hair and snow-white skin, but if you pay attention to the girl's eyebrows and eyes.
You will find that this white color is not a good thing. This girl has severe albinism and her eyebrows are also white.
The red pupils are like gems, but unfortunately the girl can't see anything because she is blind.
"Meow, kitty, I brought back a friend I just met. He's hungry, so make him a bowl of ramen."
The cat jumped onto the table again and looked at Qin Qi: "I know my kitten is different from ordinary humans, but she is really not a monster, but a human."
"It's just that its appearance is a little different from that of ordinary people. Don't call my kitten a monster, or I'll scratch you."
The cat is very protective and caring towards the little girl.
"It's just albinism, not something strange. As for calling it a monster, that's even worse."
"After all, she's such a beautiful girl. Calling her a monster is too much."
Qin Qi found a place to sit down. Next to him was the cat that jumped onto the table. He looked at the little girl and spoke.
"Thank you, what flavor of ramen would you like? Clear soup or tonkotsu?"
The little girl had fair skin. When she heard Qin Qi's praise, her cheeks immediately turned pink. She was very shy.
This was the first time she heard someone praise her beauty. Usually, other people called her a white-haired monster and a red-eyed freak.
"Well, can I have a bowl of each?"
Qin Qi said.
"Sure, please wait a moment."
Although the little girl couldn't see, her movements were very skillful. She tidied her long hair and rolled up her wide sleeves.
Then he put on his apron, counted his steps, and reached the kitchen counter just in time, then groped his fingers to find what he needed.
She started cooking! As a blind girl, I wonder how many times she must have practiced to become so skilled now!
"You have good taste, unlike those stupid humans. You can actually see the beauty of my kitten."
"It seems that although you are a little crazy, your eyes are still very good."
The cat heard Qin Qi praising the little girl again. She was very happy, raised her head, and her two tails swung back and forth happily.
"I just heard her call you Cat Mom. What's your relationship? Does she know you're a talking cat?"
Qin Qi was a little curious. A cat monster and a blind albino girl, this combination is quite rare.
"A kitten is a kitten. What else could that be? As for whether she knows I'm a cat, of course she knows."
The cat doesn't quite understand what Qin Qi means. Although she has become a monster, she still doesn't understand people well enough.
So she didn't understand what Qin Qi meant, but the little girl understood, and she explained to Qin Qi:
"My mother told me that I was abandoned when I was very young, probably because I looked like a monster.
"But I'm lucky. My mom and the cat took me home. They don't mind my appearance."
"She took great care of me, cared about me, and taught me all kinds of things. So even though Mom Cat is a cat, in my heart she is also one of my moms.
The little girl's words were full of gratitude towards Nekomata, but at the same time she also revealed that there was another person besides Nekomata.
That person might be the cat's owner.
"Where's that mother of yours?"
"He died. We agreed to be together forever, but that idiot just died without my permission."
"You're such a jerk, leaving me to take care of this kitten!"
When the cat said this, it became very angry. It can be seen that she really cares about the other person and is still brooding over it.
Then the cat told Qin Qi her story.
When she was very young and just an ordinary cat, she was abandoned by her mother cat.
On a rainy day, she was very cold and she thought she would die that day.
But a miracle happened. A little girl found the Nekomata and took it home. There is no need to go into details after that.
The little girl was the real owner of this ramen shop. She was a very kind woman when she was alive.
She treated Nekomata as her own family until Nekomata was seventeen years old, which is considered a very long life for a cat!
The girl has grown into a young woman now, her parents are dead, and only Nekomata is left to accompany her.
She stayed by the dying Nekomata's side, praying constantly, praying that Nekomata could hold on.
In the end, perhaps her prayers really worked, the cat miraculously persevered and gradually regained its vitality!
At the age of eighteen, Nekomata grew a second tail, and she successfully transformed from an ordinary cat into a Nekomata!
When she spoke for the first time, the girl was not surprised, but hugged Cat Qu happily.
........
Nekomata still remembers what the girl said when she hugged her.
"That idiot didn't show any surprise or fear like the other humans. Instead, he hugged me tightly."
"She said that now that I had become a monster, I could live longer and she didn't have to worry about me dying."
"We'll always be there for each other, but she's a big liar.
In the end, she didn't fulfill her promise and she left me and died."
The cat felt very sad when she said this. She really wanted to die with the girl, but she was worried about her kittens.
The kittens were not their children, but were picked up by them on a snowy day. When the girl met them, she felt that they were destined to be together.
So she decided to adopt her. She didn't care about her appearance or her problems at all. She loved the little girl wholeheartedly.
"That guy sounds like a very nice person."
After listening to Maoyou's words, Qin Qi felt that the girl was a very good person. She didn't care about worldly restrictions, but treated everyone with the most sincere kindness.
Even when facing monsters, he didn't mind at all and still showed the greatest kindness to the other party.
"Yeah, I think so too..."
When the cat talked about the dead girl again, she became excited and began to describe every detail of the past in detail.
At this time, the little girl's ramen was ready. She fumbled and placed the ramen in front of Qin Qi, then whispered:
"The ramen you ordered is ready, please enjoy it."
"Thank you... Um? What's your name?"
Qin Qi suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to know the girl's name yet. Could it be that he had overlooked it again?
"Kitten."
The girl whispered.
"Kitten? Isn't that a name?"
Qin Qi always thought that this was Black Cat's way of addressing girls, just like how he called Lu Linglong girl.
"Only humans need names. A kitten is just a kitten, a cat's child. Simple and straightforward."
"Just like me, I'm a black cat so I'm called Kuroneko, and after I became a monster I'm called Nekomata."
Nekomata doesn't care about the name. She thinks it's just a name and it's fine as long as it's simple and direct.
"You're a bit famous, but you're also quite famous. You're quite a virtuous person."
Qin Qi smiled. What Black Cat said made sense. A name was just a name and there was no need to take it seriously.
When the time comes, just call it whatever you want. There is no need to spend time memorizing other people's names.
He began to taste the ramen made by the kitten. He first tasted the ramen soup and was surprised as soon as he took a sip.
"How's it? It's delicious."
The cat asked again.
"It's delicious, but the most important thing is that you can feel a warm feeling when you eat it, and you can feel the care and love of the maker."
Qin Qi isn't exaggerating; you can really feel it! The emotion this girl puts into making ramen truly shines through in the food!
Maybe it's because they've lived with monsters for too long, or maybe it's just natural, but the kitten probably has abilities beyond those of ordinary people!
"Thank you for the compliment."
When the kitten heard Qin Qi's words, he felt that the other party was praising him. This was the second time, and he received two compliments in one night.
She was very shy at this time. This girl was really not good at accepting compliments from others, and she was not good at hiding her emotions.
The white hair on her head was swaying happily at this moment. She was indeed a cat's child, and her habits were the same.
After Qin Qi finished two bowls of ramen, he satisfied his appetite a little and didn't order any more.
Although he was not full yet, he did not dare to eat too much. He was afraid that if he did, he would eat up the whole restaurant.
Well, he had no money to pay the bill, but he had the ability. He could cure the kitten's eyes and use it as food money.
"I don't have any money."
"It's okay. I didn't intend to charge you. Just think of it as me making friends with you. I, a cat, love making friends with people the most."
Cat again spoke directly after hearing Qin Qi's words. She didn't care about human money at all. She invited Qin Qi to dinner just because she thought he was interesting.
Never thought about collecting money.
"You're making me feel a little embarrassed. I originally wanted to help the kitten heal its eyes so that I could use the money to pay for my meal.
"Now that you mention it, I feel like this isn't even enough to pay for the meal."
Qin Qi had barely finished speaking when there was a knock on the door of the ramen shop and voices were heard outside.
"I was just passing by. I heard from nearby monsters that there was a very hospitable cat monster here, so I thought I'd come here to eat."
The door was opened and a blond monster walked in, holding a wooden stick with a bundle hanging on it.
He looked like a wandering gangster, but Qin Qi recognized him at a glance as the future lord of demons and monsters.
The protagonist Nura Rikuo's grandfather is the big monster Nura Nura! But at this time he is just a newly born gangster.
