Don't Keep Yato and Cats Together, You Idiot

It was a quiet moonlit night. A white-haired girl with cat ears sat high on the edge of a rooftop, her legs dangling as she hummed a song.

A young orange-haired Yato arrived quietly, looking up at her with a smile.

The unexpected visitor made the girl lean forward a little and look down.

The moonlight illuminated her face, so beautiful it could leave anyone speechless in an instant.

A young man and woman in the bloom of youth, an encounter that felt destined, and a perfect, fleeting first glimpse.

Following the textbook boy-meets-girl scenario,

the cat-eared girl should have parted her lips and asked:

"Tell me, are you my Master?"

But unfortunately...

This is a Gintama fanfic.

So instead,

she asked with genuine curiosity:

"D-Don't you have a mother?"

...After a vigorous kidnapping in place of a purchase,

the Yato boy announced on the spot:

From now on, he would no longer be a wild man without a cat.

A certain vice-commander had this to say:

"Thanks for asking. Friends still looking for work, be careful."

"Some companies' job listings say they have a cat, but they might mean you'll be taking care of the boss's cat."

[Reader's Guide]

1. The couple is Kamui and a deadpan, natural, quirky girl. He's a smiling, tsundere battle maniac.

2. The story takes place after the original work's conclusion, and characters beyond those in the blurb will appear.

3. The romance develops slowly (probably), but the tormenting of Abuto progresses very quickly.

4. If anything here is offensive, please blame Sorachi Gorilla. The author is already bowing to the ground in apology!

While I'm at it, here's another upcoming story of mine, which I'll start after this one is finished!

[One Piece] Ordinary Vampire, But an Emperor-Class Powerhouse

-Everyone thinks I'm an unfathomably powerful big shot

-Even if I have nothing, I'll live life to the fullest!

Lilim is an utterly ordinary vampire from a magical world who accidentally transmigrates to the One Piece world.

It seems there are no vampires here, so Lilim finds that people are constantly making all kinds of mistaken assumptions about her, even though she's perfectly unremarkable.

For instance, unlucky Lilim is just sleeping when the Marines mistake her for the corpse of a Celestial Dragon's slave and sell her, coffin and all, to one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Gecko Moria is delighted. "A secret character in the mystery box! Now, Shadow-Shadow Fruit... Impossible, why isn't it working?!"

Lilim is speechless. "Uncle, please stop cutting me up. I'm scared. Also, don't you know vampires don't have shadows?"

After kind passersby happen to destroy this den of crime, Lilim is forced to begin her grand voyage, strike that, her adventure, wandering the seas in search of food and a way home.

Then she accidentally stumbles into the Summit War.

Facing attacks from every direction, she can only turn into a swarm of black mist bats and scatter in every direction.

The Marines are horrified:

She can fly, is immune to slashing attacks, and can even ignore Armament Haki! Is this the legendary [Bat-Bat Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Vampire Form]?! She can even fight an Admiral. This girl is terrifying!

Lilim is horrified too:

What are you all babbling about?! There are way too many rules, I don't understand a thing! I'm not fighting. I'm getting out of here!

After being dragged into several major incidents, Lilim becomes more and more skilled at making a getaway, and her bounty steadily rises...

For some reason, she also earns the following reputation:

A person with a noble soul.

Lilim scratches her head. "Uh... This is sad to say, but I'm not technically a person anymore. Besides, as a vampire, I don't have a soul."

But there's no time to mourn this. After the Seven Warlords and the Admirals, Lilim must now face...

The Yonko with an obsessive need to collect members of every race, BIG MOM!

Lilim: "Marriage? Huh, me? Seriously? I should never have said I was a vampire!"

In the real world, the forum explodes after this week's manga update:

[Hot] Discussion: Has Lilim's strength surpassed Emperor-class?

As the title says, we know she can withstand Big Mom's Soul-Soul Fruit without moving, so even a conservative estimate puts her at strong Emperor level. Your girl Lilim hasn't lost a single fight since she appeared. She has a unique aura, so haters, speak up!

Meanwhile, an ordinary vampire from a magical world, an unfathomable powerhouse in the pirate world, and the real world's top-tier star of online debates is wearing a secret identity and wandering around as a sinister shadow, handing out flyers:

Mortal, offer me your blood, and I will grant you a miracle that transcends life and death.

Lilim: I'm hungry, feed me! Good Samaritan, please give me a sip of blood! If you don't want to die, I offer a first-bite service. Guaranteed to turn you into a vampire!

On the condition that you can find me.

This so-called Emperor-class powerhouse is still working hard to scam and con people so she doesn't starve to death.

She doesn't yet know the uproar her promise of immortality will cause across these seas...
