''Do you think she'll open up?'' I gently stroke Emy, who's in my embrace, and ask.

Somehow Emy took Anna's place, but that's alright. Big cats or small cats, they're all warm and nice to hug.

''Probably.'' Liana replies. ''She doesn't know that Anna is your lover, and our cat-girl looks innocent enough, that no one would dare to shoo her away.''

[That's embarrassing to hear...]

''It's true though.'' Tina adds.

We decided to spy the conversation through a phone call instead of just tailing them. I'm afraid that Sara would notice us since she seemed quite strong.

[Hmm... Oh, I see her. She's sitting alone in the park near the stage earlier]

''Perfect, all hope is on you, Agent Anna!''

[Shh! Don't speak so loud...!]

Ah, right, sorry ma'am.

'''' ... ''''

[Um... Hi? Sara Felidae, right?]

[...Who are you?]

[I'm Anastasia. I enjoyed your performance earlier! It was so good!]

[Thanks...]

[This might be rude, but can I ask why you look so sad...?]

[...It's none of your business.]

[Hmm... You know, I am a priest, believe it or not.]

[And?]

[I listen to people's worries all the time. They always seemed relieved after talking about their problems with me.]

[...]

[Hah... Fine. Because I lost to that elf. Isn't that obvious?]

[You still earned second place though?]

[Second is not enough. Nowhere enough. I wanted first.]

[I heard that the 'Miss Ranka' title is prestigious, but how is it actually?]

[It is prestigious. One can do many things with the fame coming from that title, like borrowing money...]

Hm? I couldn't hear that last part.

[...Else I wouldn't have competed for it.]

[Heh~]

[I bet that elf would be on the front page of tomorrow's newspaper, all over Ranka... You're not living in Ranka, are you?]

[Mhmm, yeah. I moved to Xeno when I was seven.]

If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.

[About right, I suppose.]

[Right, do you know grandma Kara?]

[...No.]

That pause was pretty suspicious.

[Oh.]

[Hah... Alright, I'll go now.]

[Ah, wait! Let's talk a bit more?]

[Sorry, I have schedule.]

[Can I meet you again in the cat-kin territory, then?!]

[Sure, I'm about to go back there anyway. Come to the Chief's house if you want to meet me.]

[Thanks!]

'''' ... ''''

[She left.]

''I mean, it wasn't too bad.'' I let out a light sigh. ''Now we have someone to talk to when we arrive there, though I'm not sure if she'll like me at all.''

''I thought we would kidnap her if Anna couldn't fish out information?'' Liana chimes in.

''That's too violent. Who would even suggest that?'' I reply.

''You.''

''...I don't know what you're talking about.''

We can kidnap her when we're there anyway, doesn't change the fact that we still need to get there.

''Anyway, good job, Anna.'' I say after a few fake coughs. ''Come back here, we need to move on.''

[Sure!]

----------------------------------------

Three days after that incident, and now, the daily travel routine continues as normal.

'''' Hah~! '''' We elves all melt at the same time.

Why? Cause it's a forest! Trees!

''Can we stay here for a day?'' Liana proposes, sinking herself into the seat-bed.

''I would like that, too, but probably not possible.'' I reply.

Can't just abandon our mission like that.

''Mghm...'' Liana grumbles, then goes on to hug my thighs, planting her face into it.

''Me too~'' Emy joins in.

The hell is this cuddling mess? Can't you see Anna sleeping on my stomach as well?

Oh, well.

''Tina, come here.'' I signal Tina with my hand.

''Sure.'' She smiles.

Tina crawls over to lie near my head and promptly kisses me on the lips.

'''' ... ''''

Silence fills the car, only the occasional popping sounds of Liana sucking my thighs can be heard.

Aside from that though, we really need a way for fast travel in this world. I'm tired of living in a car like this.

Option one is long-distance portals. This concept is actually in development right now, with the catalyst being my mom discovering the little portal sex toys that I made a while ago. Apparently, that design was genius, according to her, and it could be implemented into making real long-distance portals. Although they wouldn't be up permanently, and it would take up a lot of mana to activate them once. So expensive cost.

Option two, this one is way cooler. Jets. Who doesn't want to fly across the continent, right? So I told our production team to make a few fighter jets for us to ride later. Usually, I would be concerned about the safety, but I'm quite sure all of us here would survive a normal crash anyway.

So yeah, I'm looking forward to flying a jet, basically.

''Mhm...!''

Miss Liana, could you please not eat my pussy here? Didn't you just fuck all of my holes yesternight?

Well, I mean, all of them did, except for Anna, I still couldn't handle hers with my mouth or my backdoor, but.

----------------------------------------

''Hm, hm, hm...'' I bob my head up and down, letting myself flow with the music.

It is now day nineteen, and we're almost there.

From the passing wolf-kin people outside the window, it's pretty obvious that this is the wolf-kin territory, which according to the map borders the cat-kin territory.

Actually, do they have names for these territories? How the hell did I not find anything other than 'x-kin territory'? Other people too, I didn't hear anyone saying anything other than that.

''Anna.'' I tap the cat on my boobs gently.

''Mhm~?'' She raises her head and looks at me lazily.

''Do you know what these territories' names are? I couldn't find anything.''

''Ah, um...'' She averts her gaze awkwardly. ''They're... Weird. The names are.''

''Tell me.''

''So the cat-kin territory is named... 'Meow'.''

Instantly, my other three fiancés, who are playing games on their phones together, stop their small talk and stare at Anna in disbelief.

Yeah, what the fuck?

'''' ... ''''

''What, this town we're in right now is called 'Woof'?'' Liana sneers.

''...Yeah.'' Anna nods slowly, her soft cheek grinding against my soft boob, feels nice.

''...All of their names are like this?'' Liana cringes.

''Yeah...''

So the reason why it's all 'x-clan territory' now is because the names are just too lame...?

Why is everything in here so wacky...

----------------------------------------

Day twenty, everyone is up, rise and shine. I don't even know if that's the right words. But the point is, we're excited. Finally, we can escape this cramped nest. No more making out in a tight space, we can now do it out in town!

''It looks like we're about to cross into the cat-kin territory.'' Justia lets out a small sigh.

''Finally...!'' I exclaim.

Poking my head into the front row, I can indeed see a high wall painted in white ahead, above the high gate is a silver flag with a cat paw on it.

Here I come, cat people!
