Nice.
She's been showing off since the Culture Festival.
Really.
You seem to be attracting a lot of attention.
Jeez, everyone's looking at me oddly.
Cultural Festival Photo Gallery
Hey, I didn't think we had such a hidden treasure.
Which route do you think Junpei will take?
That's cruel.
All right! Let's go play before heading home!
And catch a bite at Sun Road.
Okay, next!
Mizuno, you're dazzling again today.

Cat 03!
What's your name?
Huh? Why am I in a tree?
It's okay.
Don't be scared.
Mizuno!
It was a dream.
The Culture Festival ended a week ago.
She was so cute in that maid costume.
Yes, master.
Hey. How long are you gonna keep that festive feeling?
What about atoning to us cats?
Shut up!
Let me relax every now and then!
Wait, where are you sitting?!
Get out!
It was empty, so why not?
That's no good!
The mailman will come after me!
Come on, don't be so serious, master.
Oh.
I'm Mochizuki Chizuru.
I'm the delivery girl for this area.
No need to be suspicious.
See?
Chizuru Mochizuki
You don't have to show me your ID.
Are you a temp?
No, I'm a college student.
I'm in my third year, so I only need to attend seminars.
Damn it!
I envy college life!
So, I was doing all right until I made a delivery to that monk,
but then I got lost.
A delivery girl with no sense of direction?!
There's only one path at the top of these steps.
Anyway, I heard voices, walked towards them, and came out here.
So...
Crap.
She's gonna ask, "Who were you talking to?"
I-I'm glad you made it.
Anyway, I'll be going.
Wait a minute!
Are you familiar with this area?
Perfect timing.
You can help the cats in this area while you show her around.
Great idea, Nee-san!
Then, I'll go ahead and see who needs help.
What?! Wait!
I'm sorry about imposing on you so suddenly,
Kousaka... um...
It's Junpei.
Yeah.
Damn it!
Why do I have to suffer like this?!
It sure is humid, even though it's fall.
I-I guess I've got to help.
She has no sense of direction, and she's a college girl.
You're a high school student, right, Junpei-kun?
Yes.
Are you...
old enough to be interested in a woman's body?
Sexual harassment?!
She's more like a middle-aged lecher than a college girl!
You're blushing! So cute!
It's good to be young!
Let's go on to the next one.
S-Strange person.
So, is 2-chome this way?
Wait! It's not that way!
Hey, young man! Over here!
Are you the allergic, good-for-nothing guy from Nyam nee-san's?
Tama-kun told me about you.
Would you do me a favor?
Hey, don't run off like that.
Let's see.
I guess I can catch up quickly.
My collar got hooked on a branch.
My owner will be upset if I lose it, so I need you to get it.
Fine, but where?
Right here.
Crap, that dog again...
According to this map, I'm at—
Yeah! I did it again this week!
Oh, Junpei-kun!
I was just wondering where you went.
I was also just wondering—
Junpei?
J-Junpei?
Is this address...
I can't get into my house.
My owner is having this "birthday" thing.
I haven't eaten in three days.
So...
Jeez!
Don't all talk at once!
My first meal in three days.
Mail delivery.
Would you open the door?
Yes, just a moment.
It's express mail, so I'll be here for a bit.
See ya.
Go meow in front of your door.
Thank you.
Hey, me too! Hurry!
It's her birthday!
Jeez!
All right! So stay away!
What are you doing?
A letter?
That's—
Thank you!
Look, Mommy!
I got a birthday card from Mike!
Good work!
Excellent move, Junpei-kun!
Nice surprise!
Th-Thanks.
Though I'm not so sure about that design.
Happy birthday! Love, Calico
Don't remind me.
Seriously.
I'm not that ugly.
But...
my owner was happy with it.
Thank you.
Take care.
Isn't this job nice?
It feels good to make people happy.
That makes me happy as well.
Is that why you do this?
You have no sense of direction, so I wonder why you're doing this.
That's pretty mean.
You're embarrassing me.
I wasn't praising you!
Originally...
A guy I liked did this as a temporary job.
I started without thinking much more than "Me too!"
Nice ass.
But before I knew it, I got into this job so much that I almost forgot about him.
I think it's nice to be the bridge between people.
She's weird,
but I guess she's not a bad person.
However, I have no sense of direction, so sometimes I think I'm not suited for this.
I get scolded all the time.
I don't see anything wrong with it.
You're a hard worker.
I think that's pretty important.
Are you trying to cheer me up, young man?
Thank you! Thank you!
Stop! Jeez!
All right, let's finish the rest!
Thanks for the treat.
Don't mention it.
With your help, I've reached the bottom of the pile.
Oh, this last item has been forwarded to another address.
I guess they moved to this area.
Really?
Man, I didn't expect that trick just then.
Yeah, it was bad.
Crap!
Who knows what they'll say if they see me!
It's hard to pull that off alone.
That was the perfect time to show off.
Junpei?
Is that woman...
This is bad!
Oh?
Explain, you bastard!
Run! Run! Run!
Junpei-kun, was that girl—
Junpei nii-chan?
Run away! Run away!
Hey, cursed guy.
You're the cat with that shoe...
Thanks for that.
Come in for some fun.
We'll make it cheap.
You're only a cat!
Um, Junpei-kun?
Oh,
this is rare.
She never likes anyone except for me.
Are you in high school?
Do you wanna come back some other day?
To play with Nya-san.
I-I'm really sorry!
So much trouble.
A girl, a loli, and a pro too.
You're pretty good.
So, who's your favorite?
No pressure.
Just tell me.
Oh!
I found the last address!
With that, we're done!
Thank you!
You really were a big help!
Oh? You don't like hugs?
L-Let me go!
"Arf"?
M-Mizuno!
This is...
I'm sorry!
Is she... your favorite?
Um,
I'm sorry I got carried away.
It's okay.
So, have you kissed her?
What?
Don't tell me you haven't even told her!
She's cute, so someone else will grab her if you don't make your move.
Aren't you a man?
You've got balls, don't ya?
Even the cats...
I wanna die.
But that's nice too.
I'm on your side.
I've got balls, but they're just for show.
If you can't say it, why don't you write to her?
I'll deliver it to her.
You mean...
A love letter?
That might be good.
Maybe a handmade card.
Though that design was questionable.
Happy birthday! Love, Calico
F-Forget that one!
But it would make me happy if I got a letter from you.
So, help me again.
I'll buy you a drink.
I'm a minor.
Don't worry about it.
Sheesh, you're picking on me.
Good work today.
Maybe I should've acted cute.
I like a nice ass.
Coshee! Coshee!
Dang! I can't pronounce "coffee"!
Oh, I just did.
This is to keep me quiet.
Just so you know, it wasn't what you thought.
Oh? What's all this about?
Someone else will grab her if you don't make your move, huh...
Come to think of it, it's been a year since then.
Man, I'm in the same school as Sumiyoshi again.
Why am I already so depressed on the first day?
It's okay.
Don't be scared.
A cat?
Wh-What?!
White!
That's how Mizuno and I met.
Are you okay?!
Please wake up!
I-I'm sorry!
Are you okay?!
I'm okay!
You're awake.
Thank heavens.
I'm sorry for being so rough.
I thought giving you a shock might bring you back to your senses.
Treating me like an old TV?
Weird girl.
But...
Uh...
Could you get off?
I-I-I'm sorry!
I must've been heavy!
I've been eating too many sweets lately!
Oh, wh-what should I do?
Not that.
You came down by yourself.
So, was I too heavy?
No! Th-That!
She looks like a lost kitty.
I'm not talking about the cat.
I got excited right away when I realized I'd be starting high school today,
so I came to school a little early to look around, and that's when I saw her.
Then, for some reason she climbed up the tree,
and I think she wasn't able to climb down.
I wanted to save her.
You know the rest.
Really, I'm fine now.
Anyway, what are you gonna do with her?
You can't care for her all the time.
The entrance ceremony is starting soon.
P-Please go ahead without me.
But...
I'm responsible for what happened.
I can't make you late as well.
I'll be fine on my own.
Then I'll be going.
Okay.
I'm sorry for all the trouble.
Um, I'll help.
Don't worry.
The entrance ceremony will begin shortly.
All freshmen should follow their teacher's instructions and—
Looks like we'll make it.
Yup.
But I'm so glad the custodian came around.
Leave her to me.
Thank you for asking him.
It's okay.
I'm also glad I got to meet a cute kitty and a nice guy.
The two of you allowed me to relax.
It's amazing that you're so open with a guy you just met.
Class 1-2, line up according to seat assignment,
one row each for the boys and the girls.
I'll be going now.
I'm really sorry for getting you involved.
I hope we'll meet again.
Welcome freshmen, and congratulations.
Blah blah...
She was cute.
She seemed pretty athletic, but slow in other ways...
and pure at heart.
I hope we'll meet again.
But I didn't get her class number or her name!
Hey, Junpei.
Haruhiko?!
Are we in the same class?!
Yeah, Kouta's with us too.
Hey.
The same group as elementary school.
I'll be bugging you again.
By the way, your natural enemy, Kanako-san, is in class two.
I don't need info like that!
What I want to know is...
her name.
Next up, a word from the freshman class representative.
From class 1-2, Mizuno Kaede.
She's a cutie.
On this fine day, we freshmen
That voice...
are starting at Tokiwa High School with its long and distinguished history.
It's her!
The rep usually scores highest on the entrance exam, right?
She's both cute and smart!
Seriously?!
She's way beyond my reach.
This is a little bit personal,
I'm just a...
but before today's entrance ceremony,
I had a wonderful experience.
It made me really love this school.
I'm glad I came here.
I hope you will also cherish your wonderful encounters and days.
Is that about me?
Yeah.
Also, we should all cut down on sweets.
Is that about me?
She's cute.
Is it about me?
About me?
What's wrong with this school?!
But... if I turn into a cat from the curse...
will Mizuno look at me like that?
What the hell am I thinking?
I'd be dead from allergies before that happened.
Anyway, I need to clear up the misunderstanding about Mochizuki-san right away.
U-Um, Mizuno, about that mail lady...
I think you're mistaken about her.
She's got no sense of direction, and I was only helping...
Aw, come on, I know that already.
Besides, you're with Kana-chan, right?
Oh yeah, can I come play with your cat—
Junpei!
Let's go take out the trash.
Why me?!
Huh? You don't know?
So you can tell me all about that girl!
Why me?!
Come on, slave.
Kaede.
Ichinose-senpai!
We're about to start our jog.
Oh?
Oh no!
Then, I'll go on ahead.
Yeah.
You see, Fukuzawa Yukichi has divine abilities and...
I don't like that guy.

Strawberry tears.
Today's Nyan Koma.
Today's Mew view
Watch out!
In many senses...
Are you okay?!
I'm more concerned about you!
Good meeting, and good farewell.
Chibi!
Mew view
Nice kick!
She kicks, and he meows.
By the way, in the song "Sticking a Cat in a Bag," the bag is made of paper.
Now, the next Nyan Koi...
Good work, Senpai.
That guy is making my beautiful Kaede look so sad!
Is this... a challenge?!
I'm Ichinose Nagi of class 3-4, the president of the track club.
Kousaka Junpei, we're going to fight over Mizuno Kaede!
Over Mizuno?!
What do you mean?!
Next Nyan Koi, the 4th nyan-ko, "A Beautiful Person!"
Over Kaede?
And what if Senpai wins?
