Chapter 2, Where Are the Fish

The boss merely glanced at me, ignoring my pleading gaze.

Living ... ... is living ... ...

With my head lowered, I walked cautiously down the street, glancing at the women and transgenders beside me with the corner of my eye. It seemed that no one noticed my presence, nor did anyone come to devour me, so I let out a long sigh of relief, lifted my head, straightened my chest, and strode forward in search of food

After walking just a few steps, I saw a roast chicken shop. The chicken inside was roasted to a tender golden color, emanating an enticing aroma. The owner standing inside was not wearing a skirt, but rather a long top and a pair of long pants, appearing to be an ordinary man, likely within the realm of communication.

I saw the woman leave, and then I ran out again. Looking at the canopy over the bed, I thought about the delicious fish. Finally, unable to resist, I quietly lifted a corner of the canopy at the foot of the bed to peek inside, hoping to catch a glimpse of the fish's remnants and leftover juices

I seem to remember that the master once said that men with long hair wearing skirts are transgender

What does this have to do with fish? Is it possible that defeating him is the only way to have fish to eat? I looked down in surprise at the turtle before me, hesitated for a moment, and then slightly struck it with a paw.

I curiously walked over to the side, extended my paw, and gently touched it

Thus, I assumed the most cultured posture, sitting upright at the entrance of the roast chicken shop, wide-eyed and gazing at the busy owner, and called out loudly: "Meow~~"

A great opportunity! Go find some fish to eat

The boss remains unyielding and unmoved, impatiently waving his hand and muttering softly, "Where did this filthy cat come from?"

Fish ~ Do you still want it? Do you want it?

It is unclear how much time has passed; perhaps the fish have been eaten, and their fighting gradually began to cease. Suddenly, the woman lifted the curtain and stepped out. I quickly crawled under the bed, anxiously watching her movements.

It is a town I have never seen before

Of course, it's you ~ Hurry up ~

I sensed that the situation seemed rather unfavorable, and I dared not continue searching. In a hurry, I took advantage of the chaos and jumped out from the windowsill.

I did not expect that turtle to actually move! It startled me, and I took a step back

Fish? Where is the fish

In the midst of despair, a voice suddenly came from beside me: "Fish, you smell really good..."

I caught sight of the gleaming knife in his hand, and instantly, I was so frightened that my soul seemed to leave my body, and I ran away with my tail between my legs

Ah, hurry up, even faster

What is going on? Who is the monster?

Knowing that opportunities must not be missed, I immediately jumped carefully in from the windowsill, circled around the edge of the bed a few times, but I could hear the continuous moans of a woman and the gasps of a man coming from inside.

The turtle moved again! The man let out a moan: "Fish ~ so comfortable, continue ~"

Hastily running in, I saw many people walking back and forth in the city, just like the street downstairs from my home. Strangely, the houses here are particularly short, and the roads are very narrow, with no vehicles coming and going, making it quite suitable for cats to live.

While he was asleep, I searched around but still found no food. The woman, hearing the noise, rushed in through the door. She hugged the man on the ground and screamed: "What happened to you? Wake up quickly! Is there a robber? Wake up quickly!"

Not far along, a large black wolf dog approached me, and it spoke to me in human language: "Monster that harms others, watch how I deal with you!"

She seemed not to notice my presence, merely saying to the man on the bed, "I'll be right back," as she picked up a few pieces of clothing from the floor, draped them on, and swayed her hips as she walked out of the room.

I watched intently as they began to bite each other all over, seemingly engaged in a fight. As they continued, they ended up on the nearby bed, and even set up a tent.

The man is resting with his eyes closed, unaware of my presence. I boldly and quietly climbed up to take a look, finding no trace of any fish, but I did discover a strange object between his legs

I felt my ears twitch a few times, and I immediately jumped up, following the sound. However, I saw a room filled with a pungent fragrance, where a naked woman was sitting on the lap of a similarly unclothed man, twisting her body and saying: "I won't let you have any of the fragrance either"

But will the monsters eat cats? ... I began to hesitate, feeling somewhat reluctant to enter this unfamiliar world, yet the aroma of the food wafting through the air made me, with my growling stomach, forget everything...

Am I better, or is your husband better

"Fish, do you want to drive me to my death?" The man grasped the two unknown objects on the woman's chest, kneading them as he pleaded, "Please give it to me~"

However, the shopkeeper seemed to have seen through my intentions. He picked up a roasted chicken with his left hand and placed it on the cutting board, while his right hand elegantly performed a flourish with the knife in the air, then he brought it down forcefully. The poor roasted chicken was immediately severed in two. He turned to look at me, revealing a sinister smile: "Dead thief cat, dare to steal a bite, I will chop off your tail!"

I ran through several streets without daring to stop, and once again, I collapsed on the ground, my limbs weak from hunger, unwilling to take another step. Many birds were flying in the sky, but I did not know how to catch them.

I once again mustered my courage and gently touched it again

The wind howled fiercely in my ears, and the surrounding trees retreated like lightning. My four paws seemed to be running on clouds, and when I finally came to a stop... I no longer knew where I was... and that boy in white had long since vanished from sight.

Therefore, I can assert with absolute certainty that this is undoubtedly a city of transgender individuals, belonging to a category of monsters

What is that? It is red, small, and resembles a turtle's head

Where is it dirty? ... I turned around to see my entire body covered in muddy water, I licked it, but I couldn't clean it no matter how hard I tried, so I sadly drooped my ears and walked to the side of the shop, glancing back three times, preparing to steal a chicken to eat

The woman suddenly blushed deeply and brushed his hand away, saying: "Darling, why the hurry~"

The turtle was successfully flattened, but unfortunately, the entire bed board was also broken in two by my claws

I was astonished

This bed may be quite valuable

If only the white crow were still here, I recall its pure and delicious wings, and I sigh quietly

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ! ! ! ! A man fell to the ground, covering the turtle, and let out a scream akin to that of a slaughtered pig

However, I did not expect that the man would roll around even more violently than I did. He was convulsing as he rolled, his facial features contorted into a mass, tears and mucus flying together, appearing to be in immense pain

Where is home? ... I, lost, feel somewhat frustrated and also a bit hungry ...

Thus, I employed the unbeatable tactic of acting cute, rolling on the ground while exposing my fluffy white belly, and continuously calling out in a pleasing manner: "Meow~~ Meow~~"

Strangely, both men and women here mostly have long hair, which they style into various peculiar shapes, adorned with different metals or woods, and they wear skirts that trail on the ground

He finally accepted my apology, fell asleep contentedly, and slept with his mouth full of white foam

Is this fish ...? ... so delicious? They even fight to compete for it. Their voices sound very happy and excited, making my mouth water, yet I dare not rush in to snatch it, anxiously pacing by the bedside.

In the midst of his howls, I felt somewhat guilty, after all, I had broken his bed and was bound to be scolded. So I hurried over, intending to roll on the ground and act cute to apologize.

To express my sincere apologies, I pressed my paw on his foot and rubbed my head against it, meowing as I did so to convey my regret

I want it ~ I still want it ~ Good brother, hurry and give it to me ~

The sensitive nose gently twitched in the air, detecting the scent of a person from afar. I hurriedly ran a few steps forward and unexpectedly saw an unfamiliar town.
