It was a sunny day. Curled up in a quiet alleyway, I looked like an ordinary stray cat to anyone passing by. But in truth, I am one of the few cat hybrids in existence. Knowing what might happen if I were caught, I wandered the streets in my animal form. I hadn't eaten properly since yesterday, and hunger was starting to set in. Just then, I heard footsteps coming from beyond the alley.

Thump, thump.

Looking closely, it seemed to be a man with red hair. Since I was hungry anyway, should I act cute and try to get some food from him?

Once he was close enough, I trotted over on my short cat paws and naturally rubbed my face against his leg. He seemed a bit surprised and hesitated for a moment, but soon he crouched down and began to pet me. I was only acting cute to get a meal, but...

By the time I came to my senses, I was inside a cozy blanket. It seemed the man who was petting me had suddenly picked me up and brought me straight to his home. The interior is clean and sleek, but... isn't this technically a kidnapping?

The red-haired man who brought me here tossed me onto the bed and left the room. But it didn't seem like he lived here alone. I could hear the voices of other men coming from outside the door.
