Special thanks to @clearui for proofreading. Please don’t repost/reuse my translations!

Shun

House cat: Cyprus Aphrodite A cat who lives an elegant life on the top floor of a mansion block. His tail can occasionally split into two, but that is a secret ☆

Kai

Stray cat: hybrid (brown) He's Ikebukuro Sanchoume*’s boss and he’s also really big. He has a good relationship with both humans and cats, and a broad mind. He accepts meals from Shun’s owner frequently.

‘You’re certainly a strange cat’, was what I told him.

“I think you’re waaaay stranger than me”

Kai laughed loudly once I said that.

“I am often told so”

“Figures.”

For the first time after I was born, I came out to the city.

This cat called Kai, whom I met just now, is said to be the cat boss in the area.

He was indeed an unusual cat, with a large physique and hiding a great potential, as well as tolerance, making him certainly look like a leader.

Cats and dogs, birds and humans.

He looks at every living creature with clear sight indiscriminately, and faces them.

His broad smile is pleasant like the sea, and we became friends as soon as we met.

Oh, well, I met him just about 30 minutes ago, though.

“...... and yet, you don’t know the city at all for someone living around here”

I give him an intense stare, then chuckle.

“That’s right. Anyhow, I am a young master sheltered from the outside world. Before, not even once I have ever taken a single step outside my house.”

“Eh, really? Is that…alright? Shouldn’t your owner be worried about you around now?”

“It’s fine. I let my owner know about it properly before I went out. Unlike ordinary relationships between cats and humans, my owner and me understand each other perfectly ♪ You might say that’s natural, I guess? It’s because we’re too similar to each other that I can pretty much figure out the answer.”

“...... haah???”

Kai had a question mark floating above his head, but I only smiled. “Let’s go”.

“? ‘Let’s go’?”

“Isn’t it obvious, Kai? You were chosen to accompany me on my first adventure! Hurry up, take me out to explore Ikebukuro, will you?”

“You decided that on your own!!!”

My first time in the city, my first adventure, my first friend.

This city fills me with excitement!
