Chapter 506: 506 Chainsmoker Cat 10

It started to get cold now.

Winter was coming, and Japan has thin window glass in houses, so it is quite cold, so it was necessary to prepare in advance.

So I purchased insulation film from Korea and was attaching it to Penpen’s veranda window.

"Really, just attaching this makes it warm?"

"To be precise, it provides insulation. It blocks the heat going out and blocks the cold coming in from outside."

"Oh my, there’s even film coming out..."

"It would have been nice if Japan also basically used insulated glass..."

In Japan, since there are many areas where winter has not been that cold from long ago, there are many cases where they don’t care much about heating.

But recently, the situation was changing due to abnormal climate.

Because Japan’s winter has also become much colder than before.

So these days, among wealthy or middle-class or higher families, the trend of installing double-glazed insulated windows is gradually increasing.

"Then, this big mat is an electric mat, right."

"Yeah. Now film construction is also finished, so let’s install the mat and check if the kotatsu works well too."

"Okay."

Today too, Aruneeko was lying down sleeping after drinking alcohol, so I had to carry Aruneeko on my back and lay the mat.

But this girl didn’t think of waking up at all even though I was moving around here and there carrying her.

’...At this level, even if someone really kidnaps her, she wouldn’t know?’

As it’s a worldview with many perverts, it seemed a bit dangerous, but still, since she’s almost living with us now, I thought it’s fortunate that I can take care of her.

"Phew... It’s done. I also installed a dedicated waterproof warm air heater in the bathroom, so there should be no problem."

"Thank you, thanks to you Jin, I can spend this winter warmly."

"No. Since I’ve been staying here for a long time, it feels like home."

At those words, Penpen was embarrassed.

When winter preparation ended, Yanineko returned after going to buy cigarettes at the convenience store.

Yanineko had already finished shedding season and her hair had returned to normal.

As expected, as a race that sheds, the speed at which hair grows back also seemed quite fast.

"I came back nya. But since winter is coming soon, I saw people exchanging gifts with each other nya. So I also earned some money, so I want to buy gifts for Imoko and Shizue nya. But I don’t know what to buy nya."

Hearing that, I looked at Yanineko for a moment.

She was still wearing old clothes with stretched necks.

’You should take care of yourself.’ was about to come out naturally, but I barely held it in.

"Imoko is your younger sister, so I get it... Who is Shizue?"

"She’s my mother nya."

Despite her own clothes being old, looking at her expression, it seems her heart to give gifts to her family is sincere.

"Hmm... Then, shall we all go to the department store together? This morning I drove the Buzz because there are many things to bring. It will be convenient to shop and come back."

At those words, everyone agreed, so we all rode the Buzz and went to the department store.

Of course, we brought Aruneeko too because we didn’t want to leave her alone.

"Your younger sister is still a student, right?"

"That’s right nya."

"Then a scarf or fur gloves would be good. What does your mother like?"

"Shizue likes cigarettes nya."

"..."

I was a fool to ask.

"It’s better to just buy a warm set of clothes."

"Got it nya."

Penpen and I worked hard to pick gifts.

Since it’s a department store, they wrapped well too.

And while buying, we also bought Yanineko’s.

In the middle, Aruneeko dozed off, so I had to carry her on my back, but we could finish shopping smoothly.

"I didn’t know clothes would be so expensive nya..."

As expected, this girl is sensitive to things like cigarette prices, but since she doesn’t have much interest in such places, the unexpected expenditure seemed quite regrettable.

"Can’t help it because it’s a department store. Still, yours was bought cheap."

"That’s true, but still expensive nya. Now I have no money nya."

"Huh? You earned some money from part-time job. What did you do with it?"

"I paid back all the overdue rent nya."

"How much was overdue?"

"Three months nya."

"..."

I was at a loss for words for a moment.

The reason she spent all the money earned from part-time job was too realistic, unlike Yanineko.

"Then you can earn hard again from tomorrow. Today I’ll buy you a meal, so let’s eat and go."

"Buy me something delicious nya."

"Yeah, yeah."

But this girl, it seems compensation psychology was triggered.

When I bought her high-end steak, she ate so much that the meal cost was quite a lot.

We finished eating and went to shop for groceries.

But this time, Aruneeko, who was dozing, suddenly flashed her eyes.

"Oh, alcohol!"

Then as if she had been waiting, she started to pick up a lot of alcohol.

’...Really, they do all sorts of things.’

Yanineko said to stop by her main home on the way back to the beastman apartment.

Because she said her family would dislike it if cigarette smell permeates her clothes.

So we stopped by Yanineko’s main home for a while and delivered the prepared gifts to her family.

"Th, this must be a dream. The day comes when I receive a gift from my older sister..."

"I made up my big mind nya."

As expected, Imoko couldn’t believe that Yanineko bought gifts.

How debauched her life was that her younger sister would be like this.

I met Yanineko’s family for the first time on this day.

Imoko was a high school girl with a cute impression with light purple short hair close to white, and Yanineko’s mother Shizue had white hair with bang haircut straight in front and long hair neatly tied at shoulder.

What’s funny is that all three had similar facial features except for hair style and eye color.

To the extent that anyone could tell at a glance that they are family.

"Ah, you! Long time no see, how have you been?"

But at that time, Imoko recognized Aruneeko and came and greeted her.

But Aruneeko tilted her head as if she couldn’t immediately remember who Imoko is.

"Who...?"

"That, in front of the station..."

"In front of the station?"

"Yeah, you were almost hit by a truck, but I jumped in and..."

"Truck...? Ah... Yeah. Long time no see."

It seems she now remembered and greeted gladly with a bright smile.

It seems Imoko saved Aruneeko who was almost hit by a car while walking drunk on the road in the past.

Aruneeko, after exchanging greetings like that, as alcohol in her body became insufficient, took out a beer can from the car and tried to drink it as it was.

Then Imoko was surprised and hurriedly took away the beer can from Aruneeko’s hand.

"Hey!!! This is what adults drink! A child shouldn’t drink it! Huh! Perhaps your parents didn’t buy you something to drink, so instead alcohol...?!"

Imoko was misunderstanding something tremendous.

Certainly, Aruneeko looks much younger than her actual age, so it was understandable to have such a misunderstanding.

But the problem was that this misunderstanding didn’t end here.

Imoko suddenly walked towards me and Penpen with an angry expression.

"Wait! You two, let’s talk for a moment!"

"Huh? What talk?"

"You two! Properly bathe the child and feed her! And buy her something to drink! What about family register? Did you properly put her on family register?!"

"..."

Penpen and I froze at the same time.

It seems Imoko is firmly mistaking Aruneeko as our two’s child.

"You... You’re misunderstanding something very seriously."

"You must cherish your own flesh and blood! Moreover, I heard before that she seems to be having a bad time at school, are you properly caring?!"

"No, that is... We do feed her... School is privacy..."

"Is that what you call..."

But what’s funny is that Aruneeko, regardless of whether there is such misunderstanding or not, started to take out another beer can and drink.

"Hey!!!"

This time too, Imoko hurriedly took away Aruneeko’s beer can.

"Ah... My beer..."

"Look!!! Right now your child is drinking alcohol because there’s nothing to drink!!!"

I thought the misunderstanding wouldn’t be cleared, so I went stronger rather.

"Our kid will be raised strongly!! Beer is just like a soft drink!!"

"Yeah, beer is a soft drink..."

When even Aruneeko agreed with my words, Imoko thought there’s no way, sighed heavily, and took out her phone and immediately started calling the police.

I also thought it would be better to talk to the police than to Imoko who is firmly misunderstanding, so I just left it.

"I’m sorry..."

"So I told you. It’s a misunderstanding."

When the police came and saw Aruneeko’s student ID, the misunderstanding was immediately cleared, and Imoko apologized repeatedly to the police and us.

The police also seemed to understand that they could misunderstand seeing Aruneeko’s appearance and returned.

"She looks like an elementary school student, but she was a university student..."

"Although she looks like this, Aruneeko is older than me."

"Th, that’s true... But what is your relationship with my older sister?"

"Just friends? These two here are also friends living in the same apartment. Today Yanineko said she would buy gifts for her family, so we came together to help."

"I didn’t know that..."

But while we were struggling to clear up the misunderstanding, the parties concerned were extremely peaceful.

Yanineko and Shizue were sitting side by side, smoking cigarettes together.

"It’s more interesting than a movie nya."

"Yaniko has made really interesting friends."

Despite a tremendous misunderstanding surrounding her own daughter, Yanineko and Shizue didn’t care at all.

Rather, they were sitting side by side peacefully smoking cigarettes, watching that appearance as if some interesting spectacle had occurred.

But Imoko, who now discovered that those two are smoking, went to the two and started nagging.

"Ah! How many times do I have to tell you that our house is non-smoking?! You said you would quit smoking, mom, why are you smoking again?!"

Then Shizue glanced at Yanineko and made an awkward excuse.

"That is... Yaniko was smoking next to me, so I unconsciously..."

"It’s not unconscious, not unconscious."

Yanineko and Shizue were nagged by Imoko for a long time, but both were naturally accepting it without much rebellion.

It seems they have been nagged by Imoko like this normally.

Looking at that, I could roughly understand how this family is running.

It seems Imoko is playing the role of the de facto head of the household, blocking Shizue and Yanineko from causing accidents.

I thought the nagging would be long, so I called Yanineko.

"Yanineko, we have to go now. It’s getting late. If we get later, all the groceries we bought will go bad."

"Got it nya. Imoko, Shizue, I have to go now nya. See you next time nya."

Yanineko, when a way to escape Imoko’s nagging appeared, came running to the vehicle quickly, excited.

At that, Imoko sighed heavily, and Shizue, thinking it’s fortunate that she no longer has to listen to nagging, smiled and watched that.

From that day on, Yanineko started to save money hard.

It seems it was quite anxious that the money she saved was gone at once because she bought gifts.

So I also sometimes gave her a bonus when working hours got longer.

Then Imoko came to Penpen’s house, and perhaps sorry for last time’s misunderstanding, she bought some slice cakes and came.

"Hello. This is small but..."

"It’s Imoko nya! It’s cake nya! As expected, Imoko likes me nya!"

As expected, when Imoko came, Yanineko liked it the most.

"Unnie, that’s because last time I was sorry..."

"No, it’s okay, just let her eat."

"Yes... But why are unnie and Aruneeko in this house?"

I explained how they came to stay here.

"I see. Thank you for taking care of my older sister."

"Penpen Neko also owed Yanineko, and it’s lonely to eat alone, so we’re eating together, so you don’t have to worry."

"Two of you were good people."

At that time, Yanineko also told me about me.

"Jin is a boss nya. He’s a good person who gives jobs to beastmen nya. The gift I gave last time was also bought with daily wages Jin gave nya. The clothes I’m wearing now are also the same nya."

"Ah, that’s what it was! No wonder you were wearing clothes I haven’t seen."

How long she didn’t change that even her younger sister would say that.

"Imoko, if you have no job after graduating from school, contact me."

"Thank you for your words, but I also want to go to university."

"What I said is valid even after graduating from university, so you can think leisurely. Anyway, it’s not easy for beastmen to get employed."

"That’s true... Okay."

Imoko would do well even if placed in a fairly high position, with a sense of responsibility.

"Can we talk outside for a moment?"

While Yanineko was gobbling up cake, Imoko quietly came and said so, so I nodded and went outside.

"Actually, November 11th is my older sister’s birthday. But I want to make it a little special."

"How?"

"Pretend not to know until the birthday. Then I’m going to throw a surprise party."

"Aha, so you mean pretend not to know?"

"That’s right."

"Got it."

It seems this was the real purpose of coming here.

From the next day, as usual, I was evaluating tobacco together with Yanineko.

"Hmm... Filter is certainly P company’s is rated well."

"But B company is also okay nya. It gives a bit soft feeling nya."

"Really? Then we need to release separately later. Let’s finish here today."

But Yanineko kept looking around as if she had something to say.

"Do you have time on November 11th nya?"

This girl, as her birthday is approaching, is worried that no one will come to celebrate.

"On November 11th, I have a date with Penpen... Is something on that day?"

"Ah, it’s not nya."

Of course, as planned, I also pretended not to know, but Yanineko already heard the same words from friends, so her expression was not so good.
