謎のマートでワンとニャー

[twomeals]

...What's this place...? There's a whole lot of TVs here.

Ooh, we're just in time for Igo Igo~ Oh right, this place is...

???: ...Nyaa.



...Ah.

Yo, you're lookin' good.

Nyaa...

Huh? What? Shut up, it's not like I can help it, there's all sortsa different circumstances I gotta...

.......Who is this?

Nyaa.

Oh right, he's this place's cat. I call 'im Sennen Cat, just like this store - Sennen Mart.

Nyaaaa...

You have a proper name? How should I know, you said yourself a straightforward name like that is fine.

.......Is the cat this store's shopkeeper?

Huh? 'course not, somebody else is. Never seen 'im myself, though. He's never around...

Oh, so then, this is your friend?

We're not friends, we just happen to know each other.

Nyaa.

Fufu, I see. So you have real acquaintances in town, huh?

'course I do. How long d'you think I've been gracin' this town with my presence for...

Um, nice to meet you. Do you know me?

Hey, don't just ignore me like that!

Nyaa.

.......What did he say?

Huh? He says knows. Says you're famous around here, there's nobody who doesn't know about you.

Eh, why's that?

Well, uh...Master and Sato-sama an' everybody all love you to bits, right? Because of that, talk an' rumors about you end up spreading all over the place.

Really...?

Nyaa.

What's that? There's no point tellin' me that. That sorta thing's obvious.

What's he saying?

Nothing you need to know.

Nyaa.

You shut up! That was a long time ago, you don't need to keep bringing it up...

.......Um, it'd be nice if you stopped leaving me out of the conversation with all your barking and meowing.

W-who's barkin', you-!!!!

Ah, yapping then. Sorry. But I can't tell what he's saying at all, so you should tell me properly, Kurogitsune.

Why should I? It's none of your business.

I think it is... You're talking about me, aren't you?

It's fine, forget it, let's go. We've still got a lot to do, right? Bye, Sennen Cat.

Nyaa.

Alright alright, I got it already, seeya later.

Nyaa...

...Is it just me, or does he seem unhappy?

Tch, just 'cause he's the only info broker in town, that guy thinks he c'n say whatever he wants.

He's an information broker? ...Then wouldn't he know about those people from yesterday, too?

Nyaa.

Whaddaya mean, "Of course I know nyaa," how do you know what happened yesterday! This is what I hate about you, seriously.

You do? Then do you know where I could go to find them?

Nyaa.

...What's he saying?

.......Oh, yeah. You're right. I totally missed that...

Hey, don't leave me out.

Those guys wore the same outfit. Remember?

Ohh...now that you mention it...

That was a school uniform. They're students at the same school.

A school is where human children gather, and humans who look like Sato-san teach them a bunch of different things, right?

Yeah that's right. 's where they study. So if we go there we'll probably meet them.

Hmm...a school...

Nyaa.

He says that uniform's the one for Utsuwa High School. That school's pretty close to here, so let's go check it out.

Okay, I got it. Thank you, Sennen Cat.

Nyaa.

Yeah, I know, I'll pay off all the information fees next time, so put this on my tab.

Nyaa.

"You say the same thing every time but never pay up?" Hey, I said it's fine!

Information fee?

This guy knows a lot, but he won't tell you anythin' for free. That's how information brokers work.

Nyaa.

Whaddaya mean "meowbviously," what's wrong with tellin' the basics! ...Ah, whatever. I'll tell Ranchuu.

Nyaa.

.......That's only if he says it's okay. ...Don't think he will, though.

.......I sort of understand what kind of conversation you're having, but I also sort of don't. Is Ranchuu going to make something to pay him with?

Yeah. He's gotta make something for a compromise.

.......Hmm...A compromise...what's that?

Nyaa.

He says "Anyway, good luck nyaa." Seriously, he's way too nosy.

Mm, thank you. See you later, Sennen Cat.

Nyaa.

.......What did he say?

Thanks for your patronage, basically.

Right, I had a feeling that's what he meant. Ahaha.

Nyaa.
