Yu Sui is the last youngling of the Soul-Reaping Cat clan. She cultivates by guiding the souls of those who died unjustly into reincarnation.
She wanders between the lands of the living and the dead, her clear cat eyes seeing into spirits.
Since spirits aren't allowed to become demons after the founding of the nation, her elders and aunties tearfully activated a teleportation array to send her to another world for her safety.
"The array needs to say that the world's chosen child of destiny is a kid! That'll make it safer."
"And it needs a thoroughly righteous law enforcement force!"
"It has to be a scientific world!"
The array, engraved to the brim, lit up. Yu Sui landed gracefully on her paws and looked around.
Oh wow, Beika Town.
From then on, every crime scene had a legend about a white-and-gold Ragdoll cat.
"That cat's incredible. How did it know where the killer buried the body?"
"The body, the body came back to life?!"
"I confess! Inspector, please get this cat off me, it's biting me! Aaaaaah!"
The immaculate cat merely tilted its head and smiled, pressing its dry, soft paw pads against the dead person's head.
O spirits who died unjustly, lost and wandering,
why do you linger in the world of the living?
You may confide in me, and tell me what obsession makes you willing to be bound to your body and scorched by sunlight.
What? You want me to give you a hand?
Let me see how substantial your spirit is, and whether you're up to the task.
The cat works crime scenes all year without a day off. Every so often, she comes across a remarkably resilient soul, still whole after several years.
In the middle of a frantic hostage-and-bombing crisis, a white-and-gold blur streaked through the screams and chaos. It grabbed Matsuda Jinpei's soul and pinned it to the unconscious security guard.
When the guard opened his eyes, his gaze turned sharp in an instant, and he set to prying open the explosive device.
I have three more souls this useful, meow!
- A sweet, lighthearted, healing daily-life story. It doesn't save everyone from death, but the five members of the police academy squad can fight side by side in other ways.
- The cat can turn into a person, taking the form of a cat-eared boy, but she can't maintain it for long.
