Even the Cat Cafe in Beika Is Dangerous!

[Unconditional reader comments are open. Updates around midnight according to the ranking schedule. I promise not to abandon this story, so please add it to your collection (^ ^)] Also known as "This Kitty Just Wanted to Find a Scoop-Servant, So How Did I End Up Getting Dragged Into This?" "Scotland's Cat-Chasing Crematorium" "Give the Case-Closed Crowd a Fuzzy Shock" Xue Jian is a little cat demon. To be clear, she isn't a stray. She has a home and a gentle scoop-servant whose eyes look just like a cat's and whose homemade cat food is unbelievably delicious. The golden-haired jerk who hangs around her owner may always come by to bother her, but Xue Jian is still very happy with her life as a house cat. But then, one day, she woke up to find that her owner had run off, and she had somehow been given away. Police! Someone's abandoned their cat! With no other choice, Xue Jian angrily transformed into a human and set out to make her own way in the world. She opened a cat cafe to gather intelligence, led an army of animals with claws at the ready against the distillery, and vowed to catch the scoop-servant who had carelessly abandoned her and lock him in a dark room to vent her fury! But under her leadership, the little animals of Beika seemed to turn downright strange: The park's big white goose successfully identified a murderer, then chased him down the street, pecking at his backside for three blocks. A certain elementary-school grim reaper: So this is the fighting power of a big white goose? A cat fearlessly rushed into an explosion site to bring a police officer trapped inside the tools he needed to defuse a bomb. A certain curly-haired man in sunglasses: ...I have reasonable grounds to suspect this cat knows how to defuse bombs. What kind of cat can predict your next move and hand you the right tool?! And then there was the crow patrol, who hated evil and couldn't stand to see people commit crimes, so they did everything they could to stop them. A certain top killer, whose hat was suddenly snatched away while he was aiming a sniper rifle, then got hit in the head by a rock: … The Case-Closed crowd: Are you sure these animals aren't spirits? Xue Jian: Worry about yourselves, you bunch of jerks! Every few days, I have to rescue one of you. It's not easy being a cat and having to eat human food! Everyone in the Organization knows that Scotland has recently been hounded by an information broker known as the "Cat Demon." That woman is an irrational lovesick fool who will do anything to keep Scotland by her side. Scotland used to think so too. Until the day his identity was exposed. In the narrow space between life and death, he saw a girl with cat ears running toward him. What lovesick fool? What scheming and manipulation? She was just his stubborn, silly little cat, desperately trying to bring him home. * Pairing: a clingy, melodramatic little cat who says one thing and means another x Hiro PS: 1. The heroine is a native cat demon. She will not join the Organization, and the main Case Closed storyline comes into play later. 2. Primarily Case Closed and Magic Kaito, with a little Natsume's Book of Friends crossover later. You don't need to know the series to follow along, and there are little Easter eggs from other anime too. 3. A slow-burn, plot-focused story, more or less, with a firm one-on-one pairing. Lots of cats and dogs appear. This foolish author will do her best to capture the charms of both the Red and Black sides. Any out-of-character writing is on me. Hope your brains can handle it, haha. [Here's a sneak peek at my upcoming story. If it sounds interesting, please add it to your collection.] * Asane has been thrilled lately. The reason? After accidentally witnessing her cousin and a friend capture a rogue Clow Card, she discovered that she might have awakened an extraordinary ability of her own. For instance, she can enter her own spiritual world in her dreams. There, she finds a warmly decorated kindergarten surrounded by untamed land. She can decorate it however she likes, as long as she completes the kindergarten's tasks. And what does a kindergarten do? Raise children, of course! Asane, who is unable to get out much due to illness and adores children, eagerly opened the child-drawing System. She had to admit, the kindergarten's students were an outstanding bunch. Every child she drew was adorable and beautiful, each with their own quirks, but Asane didn't think that was a problem. She traveled with the children through all kinds of dream worlds, and the kindergarten was always filled with laughter. Then one day, the child wrapped from head to toe in bandages stood before her and voiced the question all the children at the kindergarten shared: "Sister Asane, why do you take such good care of us? Does it really mean anything?" "Because every child deserves to be loved. I simply did what I knew in my heart was right." They were stray dogs with no home, so Asane would give them one. She would stay with the children as they grew up, until nothing was missing from their hearts. "Welcome to the Dream Home. I hope the love you find here gives you enough courage and strength." At some point, people in Yokohama began waking from their dreams with a profound sense of peace. Sometimes, they even found beautifully wrapped supplies and gifts by their beds. They suspected it was the effect of an ability, but their investigations turned up nothing, and eventually they gave up. Years later, their world suddenly merged with another. As the barrier between the worlds disappeared, they remembered the older sister who had stayed by their side through the hardest times of their lives in their dreams. "I've found you, Sister Asane." "So now, shouldn't we be the ones to stay by your side in the real world?" PS: 1. Primarily Bungo Stray Dogs, with Cardcaptor Sakura as a backdrop. There will be crossovers with other anime, but they won't get much page time. 2. A heartwarming childcare story. No pairing in the main story, with Chuuya as the pairing in the extra chapters. Theme: Love can overcome anything.
