The azure sky, the narrow streets, the crisscrossing power lines.
In the crowded Tokyo City district, a little girl picked up an orange cat in front of a vending machine.
Aei held its front paws with both hands, her little head swaying left and right in front of its placid eyes, seemingly puzzled:
"I feel like Cat-chan, you seem like my brother."
Uesugi Cat didn't make a sound.
"Hmm~ Could it be that Cat-chan has turned into my brother?"
You might not believe it, but you're right, I am indeed your brother.
Sadly, Uesugi Cat could only meow and couldn't speak human words.
"Aei! Ah~ seriously, how did you run all the way here?" A young woman with glasses, slightly chubby, holding a small red flag, ran up to the vending machine, one hand on her waist, the other against the machine.
Under the sun, the vending machine was very hot; the young woman yelped, quickly pulled back her hand, checked for injuries, and finding none, just had to put both hands on her waist.
