The old man wasn't particularly worried about his cat's safety. No matter what, Kirara was already a two-tailed nekomata, and her self-preservation ability was no less than little Eula's...
Mm, just to be safe, he stuffed one more Geo Archon cat-dragon plushie into the package.
The Geo Archon cat-dragon plushie on the desk was still lying flat.
Slacking off.
Afterward, the old man escorted cat Kirara—who was wearing the box—and began her delivery journey.
Mm...
Time to go pick up little Eula.
So, would cat Kirara's path really be smooth and unimpeded?
Clearly, no.
Leaving aside how eye-catching cat Kirara's box form was, just those two tails that the old man had deliberately left visible through some opening he made for who-knows-what reason...
In all of Inazuma, how many cats had two tails?
Mm, only the Shura Anyakonsen-shou's Shura cat had two tails...
When the Shura cat was out, no one should disturb her—she was probably off somewhere punishing evil and upholding justice.
The people of Inazuma looked at box-mode cat Kirara and instinctively cleared a path for her.
"Huh? Kazuha bro, Inazuma City sure is interesting. There's actually a delivery cat?"
A sturdy-looking red-horned young man stared at Kirara in surprise.
"Itto bro, the aura on her... it seems to belong to a youkai from the clear winds of the mountains and forests..."
Tugging along beside the red-horned young man was a more petite young man with a gentle and refined temperament, bearing an Anemo Vision, looking very much like a young master from some clan.
One human and one youkai together somehow gave the impression of a down-on-his-luck young master and his youkai attendant.
"Hm? A youkai? Then I gotta go check it out. Kazuha bro, wanna come along and take a look?"
"Since I've got nothing better to do, might as well."
Warm reminder from the old man: If it's purely out of curiosity or other non-malicious purposes, briefly following someone on the street for a short time without causing any interference to their life, work, etc., and without infringing on their privacy or other rights, generally does not constitute a crime. However, such behavior may still cause discomfort to others and is best avoided.
But regardless, a young man's curiosity always carried a reckless energy. The two youths boldly followed behind this cat.
"Kazuha bro, didn't we... just pass by here? This youkai isn't lost, is she?"
Itto bro was a bit puzzled.
"I think it's possible, but she gives off a happy aura. It's probably best not to disturb her."
In the end, the two young men stood in place, watching as this two-tailed cat continued forward, only to return to the starting point again...
"Mm... Kazuha bro, shouldn't we remind this cat that she's lost?"
Little Kazuha was also hesitating at this point—mainly because the people around had noticed this as well, yet not a single one reminded this two-tailed cat.
"We're newcomers here. It's probably better to follow the locals' habits, right?"
"You make a good point. Then I'll go ask that auntie over there to see what's going on..."
At this moment, cat Kirara had also arrived beside the two young men and fell into confusion.
Had she... just passed through here?
These two people hadn't moved from the scenery around them either.
The cat pondered. The cat understood. The cat ran!
"Quick, quick! The cat changed direction and ran! Follow, follow!"
Little Itto didn't bother asking the auntie anymore. He grabbed Kazuha bro and ran straight after her.
