The great demon Toga King died just before his child was born.
He managed to move his body a little, but he was terribly weak. Even the raindrops hurt as they pelted him.
Am I still alive?
"Oh my, why is there a little cat here? Poor thing."
Before he passed out, he heard a girl's voice.
What? Can't you tell a cat from a dog? he grumbled inwardly.
When Toga King woke up...
Bad news: I'd really turned into a cat.
Good news: My savior is a cat person.
Bad news: I'm really weak now.
Good news: My benefactor is a great cook.
Bad news: She won't let cats eat her food! Woof!
Good news: There's a cat demon who says he has a special ability that lets him turn into a human.
Bad news: I used the ability and turned into a dog, but my benefactor is a cat person.
Tereia wanted a normal pet, but everyone in that place liked exotic, rare creatures. The employer's Sanmao was as big as a whole mountain, and the young master adored it.
Then there was a spider in the lab called Huahua. Its venom was so potent that a single drop could kill everyone in a small city, and the second young master adored it too.
Ants... ants... I'm out of here!
Tereia only wanted a fluffy little sweetheart to keep her company, cuddle, and kiss.
But finding a normal creature there was just too hard. Ever since ants began overrunning the world, she'd gone into the mountains, planning to bury herself...
Of course not.
She was a relic hunter. Protecting precious ruins was her duty, and nobody could have guessed that some bizarre mechanism would send her to another world.
And what a cute world it was. Tereia had to be careful around every single person, afraid she'd accidentally snap someone's neck...
The little cat curled up in her hands. Its tiny warmth practically melted her heart. If I found you, you're mine now.
Later, Tereia discovered this world wasn't quite so safe either. Invisible monsters were rampaging, and some people could control them.
Take her neighbor, Suguru Geto. One day, he suddenly declared that he didn't want to be human anymore, then tried to attack his parents and Tereia, who had just happened to drop by with something.
Tereia was shocked. Nobody had dared attack her in ages!
When Suguru Geto had his face shoved into a wall, he couldn't see any cursed energy on his neighbor. So why was she so strong, and why could she withstand some of the cursed spirits' attacks?
The Heavenly Tyrant? He remembered the man who had made such an unforgettable impression on him and Satoru Gojo.
Was she also a Heavenly Restriction user?!
Tereia: What are you talking about? Do you think the 128-ton door at my employer's house is easy to open? My arm strength is no joke.
Everyone, what should I do if I suddenly discover that the cat in my house is actually a dog?
One day, that question suddenly appeared on the forum.
Well, dogs have their good points too.
Over the hundred years in which human technology advanced by leaps and bounds, the yokai all went into hiding. The rise of humanity was the will of heaven, and whenever yokai walked among humans, they had to disguise themselves.
Sesshomaru was now the ruler of the Western Lands and the director of West Inu Corporation. While he was discussing business with other companies, the Atobe Group was rolling out its new short-video app, where everyone could share their happiness.
He watched in absolute shock as his father, who had been dead for nearly a thousand years, happily ate from a dog bowl while wearing a pink bib covered in bows. The person filming was a woman, and she'd even added some cute sound effects.
One day, Tereia met a handsome man with silver hair and golden eyes. He had an imposing air and was as perfect as anyone could be, except that he wasn't very bright. He tossed her a check and said, "Tell me, human. How much will it take for you to leave Father?"
Huh? What, another one who doesn't want to be human?
This is supposed to be a food story. I've been a little melancholy in the world of real life lately, so I wrote this to lift my spirits.
There may not be a couple in the main story, but there might be one in the bonus chapters.
Theme: True affection must never be betrayed.
