Being a cat person in a game couldn’t take any special skill, right? Guys, I found a bandaged cat! It’s so gorgeous! He wants to come home with me~ The cat ran away! No problem. Players can use forced love. For her cats, she would work hard to earn money for cat beds and build cat trees. She was determined to turn Yokohama into a cat-friendly city. Any bad cats or rats who tried to hurt her kitties could go straight into the animal hospital she built for quarantine. What had people done wrong? She just wanted to give every kitty a home. Thanks to the player’s tireless efforts, Yokohama became a paradise for “small animals.” The little guys who’d once bared their teeth at her and swung their cat paws had all become sweet and clingy. An orange cat, a pair of black-and-white siblings, a tabby… She was in heaven. Even the cat she’d first met hurling insults at her came over purring to rub against her. Mikoto: What do I do if the cat keeps making noises? If the cat keeps rubbing against me, does that mean its head itches? If the cat keeps clinging to someone, does that mean it’s sick? How could she be so clueless! 【The cat is exasperated and kneads you】 Mikoto: I know this one. It’s making biscuits, right? 【The cat: No, I’m actually stepping on you】 Then one day, she opened her eyes and saw those violet eyes. The man was leaning casually and gracefully against the windowsill. Though he was tall and slender, he had an air about him that made people want to cherish him. He smiled and walked toward her, step by step, then rested his chin in her palm. “Didn’t you promise to give me a home?” “This time, I’m the only cat allowed in the house.” “Meow.” A strange entity had appeared in Yokohama. It had no physical form, but could knead and squish people. A certain guy who was just wandering around Yokohama had been targeted. Oh no. That thing seemed to be trying to win him over. Piles of bandages, piles of canned food… Like a puppy bringing its favorite things to someone it liked. No, no, no. He’d always hated dogs: the ones that couldn’t understand human speech, were self-righteous, and accepted everything… But she really did like him a lot. In that case, he supposed he could humor her and return her feelings a little. Next time she patted his head, he could let her, pretending he really was a little cat. Why did he actually grow cat ears? … …Being petted felt pretty nice. But what was that about? Why was Mikoto petting other “small animals”? The cat was shocked. The cat’s fur stood on end. The cat would absolutely not allow this. Pairing: Bandage Cat. They only start dating after realizing they’re both human. Everyone survives, in both worlds. The Black-Hearted Widow of the Big Three There were two high-stakes bets on the sorcerers’ dark web. One: Who could kill the strongest Six Eyes bearer in the jujutsu world? Two: Who could marry the Zenin family’s black widow and survive? The two subjects of the bets had originally had nothing to do with each other. The first had already made curse users quake in their boots, while the second had worn mourning clothes to see off one husband after another. Until the two families announced that the head of the Gojo family and the acting head of the Zenin family would soon be married. A new bet was placed: Were the Six Eyes strong enough, or was Zenin Airi tough enough to stay alive? The strongest sorcerer hated Zenin Airi. A lot. He hated her fake smile, her ambiguous tone, how she took advantage of everything and manipulated people. He hated how she sat kneeling like a doll at meetings of the higher-ups, saying things like: That’s against the rules, Lord Gojo. What was this? The head of the Gojo family stormed off, blowing the shoji doors to smithereens. Now he couldn’t even hear her name? From the covered walkway, he could still hear the hollow reassurances of the old mandarins. “Gojo’s getting more and more out of hand… but you should be used to it by now.” Who was the one out of hand, exactly? And who was supposed to be comforted? Airi had inherited the Limitless technique carried down through her father’s bloodline and had been born with a noble status. But Limitless without the Six Eyes was a bomb with no countdown, and that noble status meant she was destined to sacrifice her life for it. Meanwhile, some people could sit high above the clouds without sacrificing anything, looking down on others like they were ants and dust. She didn’t want to die. She would rather accept an arranged marriage than die. She would rather be the Zenin family’s most loyal dog than give up on living. She would face the person who had been born with everything. She would turn the old world into ruins and establish a new order of her own. Airi thought about it day and night. Why couldn’t the Six Eyes be mine? Why couldn’t the Six Eyes be mine? Zenin Airi would get everything she wanted. Everyone knew that the Big Three families were the very embodiment of feudal decay in the jujutsu world. So arranged marriages wouldn’t be surprising, and it made perfect sense for the heads of the Big Three to lead by example and arrange one themselves. 【But it’s not normal for one of the people involved to be the strongest, is it? Who would have thought that the unorthodox head of the Gojo family would obediently marry a woman from his sworn enemy, the Zenin family, and even seem to do whatever she told him?】 5t5: What’s not normal about that? Listening to your wife is perfectly normal. Airi: The jujutsu revolution is over, so why are old-fashioned people still asking this kind of question? Was the reckoning not thorough enough? Reader’s guide, possibly needed: ① The heroine is not a virgin, but all the male characters are. A true widow of the Big Three. As for who her dead husbands are, they’re all in the story. ② A self-centered heroine with a twisted gravity-based technique. Airi is a wicked woman who manipulates power. Her priorities are roughly: herself ≈ Gojo >>> … Theme: Don’t try to toy with people’s feelings.
