Will the Undercover Cop Arrest Me?

What does a proper corporate drone need?

Coffee, afternoons without 007 shifts, and a cat that can heal all the wounds inflicted by crappy bosses and garbage coworkers.

That's what Shijing Hecheng has learned over more than a decade.

But not only does he work 007, he has a heartless boss and a pile of troublesome coworkers, and he doesn't even have a cat.

I should get myself a cat, Shijing Hecheng told himself. Then, in a small alley near Shinsaibashi, he finally made a long-held wish come true.

Hiro: I think I might be a person, not a cat.

Shijing Hecheng: Feline, what nonsense are you talking about? Of course you're a cat, not a person.

Hiro: I don't think my name is Feline, either.

Shijing Hecheng: If I say that's your name, then it is.

There are plenty of joys in having a cat, but it also brings endless trouble. Like a certain blond man with dark skin who came chasing after them, a certain silver-haired assassin searching for a traitor, and certain feline friends who spotted them...

Shijing Hecheng's response: Since I took this cat in, don't expect me to hand it over. Even if it dies, its bones will remain my cat's personal specimen.

Reader's guide:

1. This is a story written to indulge the author's tastes. If it's not for you, leave right away.

2. The protagonist's faction is lawful evil. The police academy group survives, but he only saves Hiro of his own accord.

3. The characters' worldviews do not represent the author's.

Theme: A corporate drone can be happy with a cat.
