"Yes."
“Is fish okay?”
"can."
"Where's the rat?"
"can."
"Where are the bugs?"
"It will be all right."
"Then can we change Ryoko?" the tabby cat said, looking into his eyes seriously.
Hoshino Bai Ze smiled and explained: "If someone wants to exchange money for something, you can refuse. For example, if someone wants to exchange money for Ryoko, I will just refuse and not take his money."
"Ryoko understands."
"Well, Ryoko is really smart."
"How can I get the money?"
"It's work. Ryoko helps catch mice at home, which is a kind of work."
"Then why doesn't Ryoko have any money?"
In an instant, the tabby cat seemed to have discovered some incredible secret, and stared at Xingye Bai Ze with its round eyes, as if saying, "Give me an explanation quickly."
Hoshino Bai Ze was helpless.
I had to continue explaining her problem, and it took a long time before I finally explained the concept of money to her clearly.
Chapter 0032: The second light ball takes shape
eight pm.
After dinner.
Hoshino Shirasawa took out a new notebook, sat at the dining table, and prepared to write the script for "Hachiko: A Dog's Story".
A "swish" sound.
The tabby cat jumped onto the table, looked at the words on the notebook, and subconsciously wanted to stretch out its claws to scratch the hand that was holding the pen and writing.
But in the end she held back and asked in a low voice:
"what are you writing?"
“I’m writing a story.”
"story?"
Ryoko tilted her head and sat directly on the table, with her tail wrapped around her little feet, looking very cute.
Hoshino Bai Ze did not even raise his head, and said as he wrote:
"Don't underestimate the story. If the story is well written, you can make a lot of money."
"A lot of money."
"Well, it will allow Ryoko to eat meat for the rest of her life."
"How long is a lifetime?"
"Well..." Hoshino Bai Ze thought for a moment and organized his words: "It means that Ryoko can lie down every day, and when she is hungry, someone will bring her meat, until Ryoko gets tired of eating meat."
"Ryoko wouldn't hate eating meat."
"I'm just making an analogy."
"Ryoko wouldn't hate eating meat."
"Well, Ryoko won't."
"Ah."
The tabby cat was satisfied with his answer and continued to stare at him writing and drawing in the notebook. Even though she couldn't understand a word he wrote, she still stared at him without any sign of boredom.
After half an hour.
Hoshino Bai Ze stopped writing and stretched himself.
"Have you finished writing?" Ryoko asked curiously.
"No, it's very early."
Hoshino Bai Ze shook his head.
I really miss the era of smartphones. Typing was really fast back then, unlike today when people have to write by hand and may not write much even after half an hour.
The worst thing is that if you make a mistake or are not satisfied with what you have written, it is inconvenient to modify it, which greatly increases the difficulty.
After exercising the body.
He continued to write.
He glanced at the tabby cat that had remained motionless for half an hour and asked:
"Aren't you tired, Ryoko?"
"I didn't catch any mice, so I'm not tired."
"I mean, won't Ryoko get tired if she doesn't move?"
"No." The tabby cat tilted its head: "It took Ryoko longer to catch mice than this."
"I see. That's great."
"Yeah, awesome."
"awesome."
"How amazing~" the tabby cat repeated out of habit.
But this time, after she finished speaking, she asked another rare question:
"What story is it about?"
"A dog's story."
"dog?"
"Correct."
"Only dogs?"
"There are still people, people and dogs inside."
Hear the words.
Ryoko stopped sitting there obediently. She stood up, bent her waist and stretched it for a while. Then she stared at him and asked:
“Why not cats?”
"I didn't think about it."
“You can write stories about people and cats.”
"Well, I'll think about it carefully next time."
“Write it now.”
"Have no idea."
"Ryoko is going out to catch mice!"
The tabby cat's tone suddenly became powerful. It turned around, jumped off the table, and walked towards the entrance with a cat-like step.
Hoshino Bai Ze stopped writing, turned his head and saw her waiting there, and smiled:
"When will Ryoko be back?"
"Ryoko will come back once you catch the mouse."
"alright."
Hoshino Bai Ze had no choice but to get up, go to the entrance and open the door for her. He watched her run out without looking back and shook his head helplessly.
He didn't close the door, leaving it a crack.
If the little guy gets tired of playing, he can just go back to the door and come in without bothering him anymore.
Returning to the dining table, he wrote a story while whispering:
"are you angry?"
"Are you still jealous?"
"Sure enough, she has the personality of a little girl."
It took me less than three minutes to write.
The door was pushed open.
The tabby cat ran in quickly and jumped onto the table:
“There are a lot of people outside.”
"Who are they? Did they bully Ryoko?"
"No. There are just a lot of people, all wearing black clothes. I don't know what they are looking for."
"is it?"
Hoshino Bai Ze raised his eyebrows, slowly stood up and walked to the balcony, looking down.
in the night.
Under the dim light of the street lights, I could indeed see several figures in black, who seemed to be looking for something on the street.
Moreover, judging from their appearance, they were not afraid of being discovered at all.
Even though they saw Hoshino Bai Ze peeking from the balcony, he did not make any move and continued to look along the street.
"Someone from the Black Organization?"
"They don't look like them. They look more like people from an official organization."
"Police? Or public security?"
Hoshino Bai Ze shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and walked back to the living room.
He thought of Vermouth again. That woman had disappeared for so long and no one knew what she was doing.
"correct."
Hoshino Bai Ze looked at the tabby cat still on the table: "Ryoko, do you want to go on a long trip with me tomorrow?"
"Travelling?"
“It means going to a very far place.”
"Ryoko has been to very far places, and the places where she caught fish are very far away."
"Not far enough. The place I'm going to this time is much, much farther. It's farther than the ten times Ryoko went fishing."
After hearing this, the tabby cat fell silent. I don't know if he was comparing something in his mind. After a while, he asked:
"Where?"
"A place called Saitama Prefecture."
"Why go?"
"There's a festival going on over there. I was invited by someone else and I'll be gone for a day or two. I'm worried about Ryoko staying here."
"how to get to?"
"Let's take a ride. Ryoko has never ridden in a ride, right? You can experience it tomorrow."
"Oh~"
After asking the question, the tabby cat jumped off the table.
Hoshino Bai Ze decided to stop writing here tonight, picked up his notebook and returned to the bedroom.
