But the disappointment in her eyes was undeniable.
He helped Lena into the Ferris wheel car, and then sat down next to her.
Then, the Ferris wheel, its lights flashing, started up naturally. As the cabins slowly rose, Yoro Nai excitedly clung to the windows, watching the scenery below grow smaller and smaller, and couldn't help but let out a "woo-woo-woo!" as her cat tail swayed happily.
Seeing her excited expression, Banai gently comforted her, "Actually, Xiaonai also really wants to ride the Ferris wheel with you. She's been trying to find ways to make you happy."
Regardless of her true identity, her feelings are genuine.
Yoro's excitement subsided slightly; her cat ears drooped, and her tail stopped wagging, making her look somewhat unhappy.
Banami quickly added, "I didn't mean to criticize you, I just hope that you and Nami can both be happy. You two are one, aren't you?"
“Hmm…” Yao Lena was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly looked up and said in a light voice, “I listen to interesting boys! I’ll sit with her again later, but I won’t take you this time.”
Banami couldn't help but laugh and gently touched her cat ears: "Okay, whatever you say."
"I agree, but you have to agree to my conditions too." Yao Lena looked up at him with a sly smile.
Before Banai could respond, she leaned in and tried to kiss his lips, then gently unzipped his pants.
Startled, Banai quickly reached out and pressed her head down to stop her, her tone slightly surprised: "What do you want to do?"
Lena wrinkled her nose and said matter-of-factly, "Don't think I don't know what you did with her after you took me back to the cat house yesterday! I saw it all!"
"I...I definitely closed the door!" Banami's face instantly flushed with embarrassment as she said somewhat awkwardly.
"I can climb pipes." Kaoru proudly raised her chin, her cat ears standing up proudly. "I climbed out the window and saw you two were very close, kissing, and doing a lot of other things!"
As she spoke, her eyes were fixed on Hanami, her cat tail slightly taut, showing obvious displeasure.
This sour feeling isn't the jealousy between lovers, but more like the resentment and dissatisfaction of a child seeing an adult spend time with someone else instead of them, with a touch of childish stubbornness—you played fun games with her, why didn't you spend time with me?
When Rakuna tried to get closer again, Banami pressed her head down and said seriously, "You don't understand the meaning of this behavior yet, you can't do it casually."
"What's so hard to understand?" Kaoru frowned slightly, her tone puzzled. "This kind of thing makes Banami happy, and it makes me happy too! You looked so happy when you did it with Nami yesterday."
Her understanding was simple and pure, just like Wakaba Mutsumi's back then—anything that makes everyone happy is worth doing. In a sense, she wasn't wrong, but this straightforward idea made Hachimi even more embarrassed.
Looking into Rakuna's eyes, filled with expectation and grievance, and feeling the soft cat ears beneath his palm, Hachiman ultimately couldn't resist her advances. Besides, he subconsciously felt this was a dream, and his moral compass seemed to have lowered considerably than usual…
Well, how can you compare things that you don't have?
He slowly released his hand, and Lena immediately leaned in and gave him a light peck on the lips.
The kiss, tinged with a girl's innocence and tenderness, was fleeting, like a feather gently brushing against the heart.
The Ferris wheel has only just taken off.
****
As the Ferris wheel slowly descended and the cabin came to a stop, Banami helped Rakuna off.
With a satisfied look on her face, Rakuna walked straight to Xiaonai who was waiting to the side and said in a slightly muffled voice, "Let's go! Don't say I'm being unfair and not taking you out. I'll take you to ride the Ferris wheel. I won't be taking Hachinai this time!"
Xiao Nai looked at Banami with some surprise, her eyes asking: Is this thanks to Master's persuasion?
Banai turned her face away awkwardly, not daring to meet her gaze.
Xiao Nai keenly sensed his embarrassment, and then looked at Yao Le Nai's flushed cheeks and smug expression. Doubt gradually appeared in her eyes, and then, as if she had guessed something, her expression became a little strange.
Chapter Twenty-Four: Rising, Rising, Rising
Banami found a bench nearby and watched as the Ferris wheel, its lights flashing, gradually lifted the two girls up. She waited anxiously for them to come down.
He thought to himself, "Yao Le Nai wouldn't be stupid enough to tell Xiao Nai what the two of them did."
After all, this child usually seems so clever.
However, once the Ferris wheel came down, Yoro Nai, who was quite excited, quickly ran to him on all fours.
Well, having been a four-legged creature for so long, it's hard to change overnight, while Xiao Nai follows behind.
Yoru Nai, hands on her hips with a hint of smugness, said, "Yanami, I told Nai everything we did in the carriage just now."
The little girl looked smug, as if she was trying to show off in front of Nami that she and Banami had also done intimate things together, and she felt very superior.
Banai couldn't help but cover her cheek. Sure enough, she shouldn't have had any expectations of this catgirl.
Then, Yoru Nai approached Hanami somewhat mysteriously and breathed near his nose. Besides the sweet scent of a young girl, Hanami also smelled a faint milky scent.
"Did you eat milk candy?" Banami asked, puzzled.
As a result, Lena gently raised her head and said, "It's a secret, Xiaonai said she can't tell you."
This time, it was her turn to have a secret with Xiao Nai that she didn't tell Bana, which made her happy. Then the catgirl said, "I'm going to the haunted house."
Then one of them slipped away. It seems that revisiting this amusement park that she often visited with her mother when she was a child had made the girl somewhat excited.
Not long after, Xiao Nai, now a quiet and elegant college student, sat next to Yana and said in a voice that revealed neither joy nor anger, "Master, do you know that Xiao Nai is just a high school student right now?"
Although she looked to be about the same age as Hanami, for some reason, Hanami recalled the imposing presence of his mother-in-law when he and Hatsuka had revealed their pregnancy to Ms. Nao.
"Uh, but... that was Ryuna-chan's request. I tried to stop her, but I couldn't," Banami said somewhat guiltily.
Just tell me whether you tried to stop it or not.
However, the next moment, Xiao Nai whispered in Banami's ear, "Bad master, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Yesterday with me, and now with Rakuna-chan...aren't you feeling very accomplished?"
Banami quickly denied it, saying, "No... not at all, I really respect you."
How could he possibly answer such a potentially disastrous question wrong?
He's the kind of person who can build a harem right under Xiao Xiang's nose!
Xiao Nai couldn't help but chuckle and said, "I was just kidding. After all, you're the owner. I'm just a poor, helpless little kitten."
Hearing Xiao Nai's mood change 180 degrees, Bana asked with some doubt: "You're really not angry?"
"No," Xiao Nai said with a slight teasing tone.
From a somewhat naive girl yesterday to an increasingly mature one today, it seems that every day, the girl is growing at the speed of light, in units of 10 years.
"Then stick your butt out and let me see," Banami said shamelessly.
But Xiao Nai actually did it.
"How is it, Master? Does it look good?" Xiao Nai asked, her eyes slightly watery.
Banami was immediately moved. "Waaah, this is the kind of treatment a transmigrator should get! Before, all the amazing people I encountered were the Civil Engineering Girl, the Moon Forest Idea King, the Pink Milk Dragon, and Saki-chan Saki-chan Saki-chan Saki-chan!"
Although he was almost completely smitten, he still maintained his composure and asked with some doubt, "Uh, why? You were clearly..."
She was somewhat reluctant to kiss Renai-chan in the morning, but the boy ended up teasing her quite a bit.
Xiao Nai paused for a moment, then said softly, "Just now, Le Nai-chan was really bragging to me about how she rode the Ferris wheel with you."
These words sounded like a joke, but Banami detected a slight sourness in them. He couldn't quite tell whether it was sourness directed at Rakuna or at Banami herself.
But he was quite experienced in what to do in this situation. His self-cultivation as a sea king made him naturally put his arm around her and say, "She's just a child. She feels it's unfair that the two of us don't play with her."
Hearing the boy's clumsy nonsense, Xiao Nai's expression relaxed a little, but she still didn't say anything. After a slight hesitation, Bana boldly gave her lips a light, fleeting kiss.
Xiao Nai then said with a hint of satisfaction, "I should be angry... but I found myself feeling a little jealous listening to her words, not like the childish jealousy of Le Nai-chan, but..."
The vibrant young girl turned to look at Banami and said, "I never imagined that the love and gentleness my owner showed me during the time I was living like a cat before I regained my memories would have such a profound impact on me."
"If it weren't for Lena-chan finding me and my owner's loving care afterward, this little stray kitten wouldn't have survived the winter."
Banami showed a slightly surprised expression, which meant that although Xiaona had realized her identity at this moment, regardless of whether she had lied to Banami.
What she didn't expect was that her experience as a cat would have a greater impact on her than she had imagined.
She even subconsciously gets close to boys and gets jealous of Ryuna-chan, whom she cherishes.
Banami gently hugged the other person and said, "I... am very lucky to be able to take good care of you when you were in a daze."
Xiao Nai couldn't help but laugh, and continued, "Besides, I've also figured it out. After all, what will happen when I'm 'gone'..."
Upon hearing this, Banami's expression seemed to turn somewhat serious.
Xiao Nai gently comforted the other person, saying, "It's alright, Master. My life has been more exciting than many people's. You can't talk about ice with a summer insect, but who says that a summer insect can't live a happy life?"
I was thinking that after I left, I would eventually have to ask my master to take care of Ryuna-chan.
"Lanna's world is very small, only a few people are allowed to enter, so..."
Xiao Nai whispered in Banami's ear, "Right now, I should help Rakuna-chan increase Master's favorability."
The sound, like the teasing of foxtail grass, made Banana's heart flutter and her ears itch. Then she heard Xiaona whisper, "Do you know why Rakuna-chan's mouth tasted milky just now?"
Seeing this, Banai couldn't help but widen her eyes slightly, her eyes revealing a seductive quality that was not typical of a female college student.
"You said it yourself, didn't you? This world is the image you most want to present in your heart."
"Master, due to health reasons, Ms. Kaname was unable to feed Ryuna-chan herself, so Ryuna-chan grew up on milk when she was born. This is Ms. Kaname's biggest regret, and she even feels that Ryuna-chan's small size is her fault."
Her eyes seemed to be moist as she said to the boy, "Master, I feel... uncomfortable right now."
Chapter Twenty-Five: Farewell
The glow of dusk spread across the sky, painting the outline of the abandoned amusement park in a warm orange-red hue.
The fairytale atmosphere that made the amusement park so vibrant during the day, thanks to the company of the three, gradually faded away, revealing its dilapidated and gray original appearance.
The rusty facilities looked even more mottled in the afterglow of the sunset, and the swing creaked and groaned as it swayed in the wind, but it no longer affected the three people who were leaving in a moment of contentment.
Yoro Nai has turned back into a little white cat. She probably had too much fun during the day and is now completely limp on Xiao Nai's head, with her limbs hanging down relaxed, like a fluffy ball of fur.
And at the moment Yao Le Nai transformed back into cat form, Xiao Nai returned to Yao Le Nai's original body. The girl was slender and light-footed, with a lazy white cat on her head, making the scene exceptionally harmonious.
"Lanna-chan, how was it? Did you have fun today?" Xiao Nai turned her head slightly, her gaze gently falling on the little white cat above her head, her voice as gentle as if it were an elder to Lanna-chan.
Lenai let out a sleepy "meow," rubbed her little head against her hair, and probably got tired of playing. She even let out a small burp, her voice soft and adorable.
Seeing her satisfied expression, Xiao Nai's eyes instantly lit up with a smile, her lips curved into a gentle smile, and even her steps became lighter.
Seeing this, Banami whispered, "Rakuna-chan seems to be getting closer and closer to you."
The creature perched on his head seemed to understand him, letting out a lazy "meow" with a drawn-out, slightly impatient tone, as if refuting his statement.
But this utterly unconvincing rebuttal only made Banami and Kona laugh.
Xiao Nai turned to look at the boy beside her, her eyes as gentle as the warm breeze: "And what about Master? Did Master have fun today?"
Just as Banami was about to respond, a warm feeling suddenly welled up in her throat, followed by a burp—or rather, a burp exactly like the one Rakuna had just given.
The crisp sound of a baby burping was particularly noticeable in the quiet atmosphere, and Xiao Nai's cheeks instantly flushed red. She shyly avoided his gaze.
Seeing this, Banai couldn't help but chuckle and gently put his arm around her waist.
The girl's waist was slender and supple, and he could feel her warm skin through the thin fabric. He thought to himself: "This little girl mom is just amazing."
The evening breeze gently blew, carrying a faint fragrance of flowers. The two people walking side by side had a lazy white cat above their heads, and their shadows were stretched long by the sunset.
***
By the time the three returned to the Toyokawa family home, night had completely fallen, and the streetlights in the courtyard shone with a warm yellow light, illuminating the path in front of the house clearly.
As usual, the Toyokawa family would have finished dinner long ago by this time. But as soon as he opened the door, he saw Shoko standing in the entryway with her hands on her hips, her brows slightly furrowed, and her tone clearly dissatisfied: "So slow! Did you lose track of time while playing? Everyone is waiting for you to eat."
Banai was slightly taken aback, then said, "Didn't I call ahead to tell you to eat first?"
He really didn't expect that even though he had specifically notified everyone, they still had to wait for so long.
Standing next to her, Mutsumi Wakaba said in a calm tone, "SAKI-chan said that when a family eats together, it's best to be all together."
Meanwhile, Chu Hua, who was already like a permanent member of the Toyokawa family, leaned against the restaurant entrance and added with a smile, "Besides, it's okay for you to skip a meal, but Xiao Nai and Le Nai are still growing, how can they go hungry?"
Xiangzi felt a little uncomfortable from what the two were saying. He coughed lightly and said with a touch of arrogance, "Alright, alright, what are you talking about? Hurry up and wash your hands and eat! I cooked this myself today."
Hatsune next to her couldn't help but chuckle a few times. One of the reasons they were eating so late was that Xiangzi had suddenly decided to cook.
Do you even realize the significance of bending a stainless steel basin with one hand?
Meanwhile, Nami, who was standing next to Banami, stared blankly at the Toyokawa family. She gently hugged Rakuna and whispered, "Rakuna-chan, everyone is waiting for us to come home."
At this moment, Yao Lena not only has mygo, a band where she can entrust her guitar, but also a place to return home, a place where people are waiting for her to come back for dinner.
Kaoru let out a soft "meow," as if to say, "I'm back."
***
As night deepened, warm yellow light shone through the sheer curtains into Xiangzi and Banami's master bedroom, creating an ambiguous atmosphere.
After satisfying Xiangzi thoroughly, Banami covered her with a thin blanket.
Xiangzi lay on his side, his cheeks still flushed, looking at the boy beside him with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
