Chapter 66 - Chapter 66: “Stray Cat” and “House Cat”

Huangquan contentedly ate the snacks Ayanokoji Kiyotaka brought her. Although they were common snack brands on the market, the taste was a completely new experience she had never had before.

She picked and chose, taking a bite of shrimp crackers one moment and a bite of jelly the next, thoroughly enjoying herself.

Huangquan asked curiously while eating: "Ayanokoji, where did you buy these snacks? They're the same brand, but the ones you brought feel completely different from the ones I buy!"

"Well, that's a secret," Ayanokoji said with a mysterious smile.

Produced by the system, it must be a high-quality product—this phrase no longer needs to be elaborated on.

Sado Mikura stood by, watching, and scoffed with her arms crossed: "They're just junk food. I can't believe you can eat them so happily."

"Mikura, you don't know…" Huangquan Luna laughed nonchalantly, holding up the potato chips in her hand and inviting: "Do you want to try some?"

Mikura hesitated for a moment but still took the potato chips.

Ten seconds later, she also joined the snack-eating army.

"Didn't you say this was junk food? Why are you eating it so happily?" Ayanokoji Kiyotaka said with narrowed eyes.

"I am Sachiko-sama's livestock. livestock should eat livestock's food, so it's very suitable for eating junk food."

Sado calmly demeaned herself, but her actions did not stop for a second, continuing to grab snacks from the bag.

Mikura was also very surprised; she hadn't expected that mechanically processed snacks could actually have such a taste, completely comparable to the food made by the chefs in the school cafeteria.

One must know that those chefs graduated from Far Moon Institute.

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka didn't eat any snacks; he just stood with his arms crossed, smiling at Huangquan Luna.

Huangquan Luna pouted and said lazily: "Ayanokoji, tell me, what do you want from me? Since you came to find me, you must have something, right? I won't believe you came all this way just to thank me."

"Truly worthy of a Student Council member," Ayanokoji said with a flattering smile. "That's right, I do have something I'd like your help with this time."

"It's like this… can you let me see the surveillance cameras at the Teaching Building entrance?" Ayanokoji stated his request.

Although the main Teaching Building used a Western style and did not require students to change into indoor shoes, most students, especially girls, were already accustomed to changing shoes at the entrance.

The lockers in the Club Building are unlocked, so anyone could be the culprit.

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka wanted to check the surveillance cameras to see who put the razor blade in Hanatemari Kazura's shoe.

This was also the purpose of his visit to the Student Council lounge.

Most of the food in this school is managed by the Student Council, and the surveillance room is no exception.

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka briefly described the case, and Mikura, who was beside him, became serious: "Someone put a razor blade in a girl's shoe… Even if the person is a 'livestock,' this has already gone beyond a prank and cannot be easily forgiven."

"So, can you help me?" Ayanokoji looked at Mikura with hopeful eyes.

"I'm sorry, I cannot." To Ayanokoji's surprise, although Mikura showed disgust, she refused very directly.

Mikura explained: "Although I stay in the Student Council lounge, I am not a Student Council member, but Sachiko-sama's pet. Pets do not have human rights, so naturally, they don't have the authority to view surveillance."

"Hey… are you really not treating yourself like a human?" Ayanokoji's eye twitched.

This person is truly strange. Who would willingly want to be someone else's pet?

"By the way, you also wear a 'Stray Cat' tag on your chest. Don't you get bullied by other girls? This kind of thing, like having razor blades put in your shoes, could also happen to you."

Mikura snorted proudly: "Don't lump me in with other livestock. I am Sachiko-sama's exclusive livestock, so no one dares to bully me."

In her eyes, those girls who had become "livestock" were "wild cats," while she was a "house cat," was that it?

Aren't they all cats? Who is nobler than whom?

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka didn't refute her, but asked curiously: "By the way… what is your job as a pet cat normally?"

"As long as Sachiko-sama commands, I must come when called and leave when dismissed. Even at night, I must stay by Sachiko-sama's bedside all night, on standby. No matter the command, as long as Sachiko-sama has a need, I must be ready at any time."

Mikura proudly lifted her face, seemingly finding it a great honor to be a pet.

Aside from the dog collar around her neck, to put it simply, she was Sachiko Juraku's personal secretary, responsible for handling miscellaneous tasks for her. However… this secretary was a bit too personal.

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka truly hadn't expected that Mikura, this personal secretary, was already providing services in bed.

Ayanokoji's heart stirred, and he subconsciously spoke: "Are you still recruiting pets over there? It sounds like the treatment isn't bad…"

It wasn't that he coveted this "night" job; Ayanokoji Kiyotaka simply suddenly realized that this job had quite a future.

Yes, just like that.

"Don't dream! I am Sachiko-sama's pet number one, and there are no plans to recruit a second pet yet! Besides, Sachiko-sama wouldn't take a man who might bite his master as a pet!"

Mikura looked at Ayanokoji Kiyotaka warily, leaning forward, like a cat protecting its food, making a prelude to an aggressive move.

"A dangerous male detected towards Sachiko-sama, must be eliminated as soon as possible…"

Ayanokoji quickly raised both hands, making a French salute, looking exasperated.

"Hey, I was joking, you didn't actually take it seriously, did you? Besides, you said Sachiko Juraku has no plans to recruit a second pet, but she personally asked me yesterday if I could be her dog…"

"Sachiko-sama was just joking too!"

Mikura interrupted Ayanokoji firmly, her aggressive stance still not relaxed, and suddenly asked urgently: "Quick, Ayanokoji, what is your relationship with Saotome Meari?"

Saotome? Why are you suddenly bringing her up? She's my friend, what about it?

"Since she's your friend, you should keep her in line and make sure she doesn't appear in Lady Juraku's sight!" Mikura said sternly.

"What do you mean? What's Meari's relationship with Sachiko Juraku?" Ayanokoji felt a bit baffled, unable to keep up with Mikura's train of thought.

Mikura's expression flickered, as if she was hesitating whether to speak. She was silent for a moment, but still decided to tell Ayanokoji.

"I don't know why… Lady Juraku is very interested in Saotome Meari and wants to take her as her second livestock. That day, Lady Juraku was just passing by to collect Togakushi Yukimi's rent. Her real purpose was to see Saotome Meari.

Saotome's performance that day was a bit poor, and Lady Juraku temporarily lost interest in her, but I'm worried that Lady Juraku might still care about her later, so I hope you can keep an eye on her…"
