“Ah – qiu!”
Another big sneeze made the puppet cat burst into tears.
“Is it cold?” In the Nausicaa of Valley office, Shen Yu raised his head from a pile of reports and looked worriedly at Xu Maomao, who was dozing well aside.
The cat owner sneezed a lot today, and the store clerks suspected that he had caught a cold from shaving, so they turned up the heating.
“It’s really not cold, but my nose is very itchy.” Xu Maomao shook his head but did not refuse the blanket handed over by Shen Yu.
“Go back early today, I’ll let you rest. Don’t worry about the store.”
Shen Yu held him in his arms and prepared to get off work early to take Xu Maomao home. As soon as he left the office, he heard Xiao Zhang and Xiao Guan fighting outside. He didn’t know what they were arguing about.
“What’s going on with you?” Shen Yu asked.
“Boss, there was a hamster just now! There are also rats!”
“The rats are outside and want to come in and steal something to eat!”
Shen Yu frowned. His store was a new one. Even if it did have a lot of cereal-processed pet food in stock, it shouldn’t yet be time to attract mice so quickly.
What’s more, there were often a few dogs here, and only occasionally did cats and mice dare to come in. Could it be because a food packaging bag was broken?
Thinking of this, Shen Yu was not in a hurry to go back and ordered: “Check whether there is any damage to the packaging of the foodstuff, especially in the pet food warehouse.”
“I checked and found that there is no damage. It may be from a nearby store.”
Newly opened nearby was a smelly snail noodle shop. It smelled like a toilet, but there was an endless stream of enthusiastic diners. Some customers would come and stroll directly after eating, just like a moving durian.
Although the store was across the street, it was possible the rats came for a walk there occasionally.
“Oh~~~so angry!” Xiao Guan complained.
Shen Yu looked at his watch. There were relatively few customers at this time, so he simply said, “Let’s do some cleaning in the afternoon. After that, we’ll get off work.”
“Okay!”
All the clerks became lively.
The group of rats outside the door looked at each other in confusion.
“Boss, what should we do? Did we alert the snake?”
“…Nonsense. Who went out first just now? You must accept the punishment!”
They saw a gray and shameless rat stand up and raise his paws in front of the big rat. He grabbed one of his whiskers and pulled it out hard.
“Squeak——!” QAQ hurts so much!
But no matter how painful it was, the lazy rat didn’t dare to complain and obediently handed the whisker to the sorghum monster. In addition to being beautiful, the whiskers of rats were also an important aid to their sense of smell, so before the whiskers grew back, this punishment was equivalent to depriving him of the tools to find food, which could be said to be very miserable.
“You reckless idiots, you have to use your brain before taking action from now on. What do you mean… Those who succeed must be bold and careful, have foresight, and can’t act rashly, understand?!”
“Yes, boss!”
Da Zhi raised his paw, as the second-in-command of the boss, he shouted: “You all should learn to do something… Ouch! Boss, what are you doing?”
The sorghum monster plucked out a whisker on it with one paw: “You are not much better than them. What to do next, everyone stay quiet, pay attention to safety, and wait until I show my hands to you!”
Several pairs of small eyes stared at the big mouse for an instant, and everyone held their breath.
The sorghum monster held its little paws hard, with a look of constipation on its face. After a while, its long tail slowly retracted its buttocks. Its originally relatively strong body swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming rounder, and its claws became smaller. His sharp mouth became rounder and his face became fleshy.
The big rat with gray fur suddenly turned into an eagle-gray guinea pig. After turning into a pig, the sorghum monster scratched the top of its head with its claws and combed its hair into a chrysanthemum shape to disguise its crest.
The little rats didn’t blink. After a while, one of the rats asked: “Boss, how did you become the pig family next door? Aren’t they very weak in combat?”
Xiao Zhi said: “That’s right, they have little paws and big set of teeth but still can’t eat any meat other than gnawing cherry tomatoes. What’s the use of being like them?”
The little rats were worried. How could their boss like this fight a duel with that cat?
“Did I say I was going to fight it?” The sorghum monster laughed: “Now is a civilized society and we need harmony, so I have put down my butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately. I will not take the violent route. We want to outwit it.”
“??”
This was called ‘pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger’.” The person was pretending to be a guinea pig and eating a cat – they were all cats. If you round up, you could think of Maomao as a tiger. There was nothing wrong with it.
The little rats suddenly realized it, and they were all amazed and applauded. The sorghum monster signaled for everyone to be quiet, and then released a domineering look that said, “Learn more!”, landed on all four paws, and rushed out menacingly.
The boys thought it was going to start a fight, but when they rushed to the door of the pet store, the sorghum monster squatted there and grunted a few times in imitation of a guinea pig.
“…” Calm down, let’s take a good look, maybe the boss is reading a message to hold back his ultimate move, and he will use it soon.
A group of rats watched very seriously out of admiration for their boss!
Comrade Xiao Guan was mopping the floor at the door. When she heard the cry, she turned around and saw a fat guinea pig squatting there cutely.
She blinked, looked at it for two seconds, and screamed: “(*@ο@*) Wow~ There’s a guinea pig outside~ It’s also a rare gray crested variety! It’s super cute!”
The sorghum monster was proud of himself: Of course I am cute. This is one of the equipment that I use to travel around the world. My special skills are “cute” and “rare”. Sometimes when I am too lazy to move, I would even travel like this to cheat people out of food and drink.
Every time he was in a daze or barked a few times, stupid and simple humans would feed him food, such as the one in front of him –
Comrade Xiao Guan opened the door with glowing eyes and walked towards it happily.
