Chapter 206: Saturday's Plan
After dropping them off at home, Sawamura Sayuri didn't go upstairs and went straight back.
Before leaving, she said to Eriri, "Eriri, since you've decided to adopt them, you must take good responsibility!"
Eriri nodded assertively, "Don't worry, I absolutely will!"
After seeing her mother off, Kaede and Eriri returned home. They set up the Cat bed and Cat litter box in a corner of the living room. After arranging everything, they opened the Cat carrier and placed the two kittens in the Cat bed.
The mother Cat came out, and although she was a bit nervous, after walking around once, she immediately settled down, drank some water, and lay down in the bed, guarding her two children.
Squatting in front of the Cat bed, Eriri looked at the Cats, a silly smile on her face: "Hehe, from now on, I'm a Cat owner too, and I have three Cats."
Kaede walked over, patted Eriri's head, and said, "Alright, alright, it's time to prepare dinner. Eriri, you go pour the Cat food first."
"Okay!"
After pouring the Cat food and seeing the mother Cat start eating, Eriri followed Kaede to prepare dinner.
While washing the rice, Eriri asked, "Kaede-kun, what should we name the Cats?"
"Naming them, huh."
At this, Kaede looked troubled, frowning as he said, "This kind of thing isn't really my forte. How about you do it, Eriri, or ask everyone in the club for suggestions?"
"Hehe, Kaede-kun has things he's not good at too."
"I have many things I'm not good at."
Chopping vegetables, Kaede said with a smile, "In any case, the matter of the Cat's name is up to you, Eriri."
"Okay!"
In the evening, after dinner, Eriri was not in a hurry to do her homework. Instead, she took many photos of the three Cats, then sent them to Usami. Then, the two of them started a voice call and began discussing names for the Cats.
Kaede watched from the side, not disturbing them, lazily holding his phone and scrolling.
They chatted for over half an hour until Eriri's phone was almost out of battery, then they hung up.
Getting up from the floor, she sat back next to Kaede. Eriri said with a troubled expression, "Sigh, I haven't thought of a suitable one. Kaede-kun, stop watching TV! I really can't think of a good name, come help!"
Shaken by Eriri's arm, Kaede's face was stiff. Finally, he said, "How about just calling them Tiga, Gaia, and Dyna?"
"Pfft!"
Eriri burst out laughing, falling onto Kaede: "Hahahaha, that name sounds really interesting, but we can't actually use it. Which of those three names would you give to the big Cat?"
"Use Tiga, since he came out first." After a pause, Kaede looked at the Cat leisurely strolling in the living room and mused, "But this is a female Cat. How about Camilla instead? It just so happens that the biological father of the two kittens is nowhere to be found, just like Tiga who left Earth in the movie version."
"Hahahahaha~~~ That's possible! How about Camilla then?"
"Uh... are you really going to use that?" Kaede looked at Eriri speechlessly. He had just thought of it casually, but seeing Eriri's expression, was she actually going to use it?
"Hehe, what's wrong with it? Isn't Camilla a pretty name?" Picking up the Cat, Eriri said with a smile, "Right, Camilla~~"
As if understanding, the Cat looked up at Eriri and let out a meow.
"Meow~~~"
"See? She agrees too! So we'll use this name. We'll wait until the two little ones are a bit older to name them!"
"I have no objections."
Glancing at the two tiny kittens sleeping in their bed, Kaede felt that naming them now wouldn't make much difference. He decided to wait until the two little guys could run around freely.
When Kaede woke up on Saturday morning, he was immediately surprised to find that Eriri next to him was already awake. Was this girl not sleeping in on the weekend anymore?
Putting on his pajamas and heading out, Kaede predictably found Eriri in the living room, preparing breakfast for the Cat.
He checked the time; it was only seven in the morning. Even Kaede himself wouldn't usually get up this early on a weekend.
"Eriri, did you really stay this excited all night?"
"Hehe~~~"
After petting the Cat, Eriri, still in her pajamas, ran over and hugged Kaede, saying, "It's my first time owning a Cat, of course I'm excited!
When I woke up this morning, I thought I was dreaming. I only confirmed it was real after coming out and looking."
"You are something."
Kaede looked at Eriri helplessly and asked, "Are you going back to sleep?"
"No, I'm not sleeping anymore. I didn't stay up late last night, so I feel wide awake right now."
Eriri shook her head, "Kaede-kun, go wash up. I'll prepare breakfast!"
"Alright. Oh, are we still going to the zoo today?"
Kaede looked at the new members of the household as he spoke.
Sure enough, Eriri hesitated.
"Hmm~~~ Hehehe, how about we postpone it until next week? Today, I want to buy some more Cat supplies, like a Cat tree and Cat wands.
Also, we didn't buy any Catnip!"
"..."
Kaede suddenly had a premonition that after having three Cats in the house, his position in the family hierarchy would definitely start to drop after a while.
Suddenly feeling a tickle on his foot, he looked down and saw that Camilla had approached him and was rubbing against his calf.
Well... if it drops, it drops.
After a simple breakfast, ensuring the occupants of the various rooms were secure and the balcony door was closed, the two of them headed straight out. They had quite a few things to buy today.
Since they were at the animal hospital yesterday, although some items were sold there, the focus was mainly on Cat food, canned Cat food, and simple Cat beds. For other items, they needed to go to a proper pet store.
After searching on their phones, the two took the train to a nearby pet store.
As soon as they entered, they saw many pets; there was even a Persian Cat perched on the counter, observing the customers who came in, likely owned by the shopkeeper.
When the clerk saw the two of them, she immediately walked over with a smile: "Welcome! What can I help you with? Are you looking to buy a pet or pet supplies?"
Eriri replied, "Pet supplies!"
She then listed many things they needed to buy. After listening, the clerk took them to the product area and began introducing items.
Since Kaede and Eriri had done quite a bit of research on the way, they avoided many useless items recommended by the clerk and only bought what they truly needed.
Although they weren't short on money, they shouldn't just spend recklessly.
That being said, the final cost was still considerable. After selecting everything and paying, they asked the shopkeeper to deliver all the items to their apartment that afternoon.
The Cat tree alone was too much for the two of them to handle.
