“Okay, it looks like we’re going to need this many planks, this many sheets of plywood, these tools, and shingles.” (Kit)

“I’ll go get the supplies from that construction store on the other side of town. I’m going to need...” (Cat)

“You need me to come too, right! I can help carry everything!” (Tabby)

“Yes, I need you to come carry the materials.” (Cat)

“Yay!” (Tabby)

“Could you two pick up these groceries on the way? All we have in the refrigerator is take out left overs. I used what I could for breakfast this morning, so, we’re out of a bunch of things.” (Katya)

“I will stay and prepare the roof. It shouldn’t take long to get everything and run back.” (Kit)

“Okay, we’re off then!” (Tabby)

———

“What do you mean we’re lost?” (Tabby)

“I lost track of where we are when I followed after you when you chased that dog down a bunch of side streets.” (Cat)

“He started it! I had to stand up for our master.” (Tabby)

“He was just barking... It didn’t have anything to do with our master.” (Cat)

“Look at that over there!” (Tabby)

“What am I supposed to be looking at?” (Cat)

“Well, we better be going! I’m sure if we ask somebody directions we’ll find our way.” (Tabby)

“You are such an air head...” (Cat)

“Excuse me, little girl. Could you tell us where the construction depot is?” (Tabby)

“Little girl? We’re the same age.” (Girl walking home from school)

“Tabby, you do realize you’re many years younger than her?” (Cat)

“But compared to master, she’s super young.” (Tabby)

“Umm, I don’t understand. Are you cosplayers, or construction workers?” (Girl)

“We’re construction workers!” (Tabby)

“No, we aren’t either of those things. I apologize. We’re out on an errand for our master and we got lost. Could you point us in the direction of the construction Depot?” (Cat)

“You’re really going to the store dressed like that?” (Girl)

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

“Like what?” (Tabby)

“We should probably put away our ears and tail.” (Cat)

“You’re wearing a tail too? Why would you bother wearing a tail underneath your robe?” (Girl)

*pop*

“Wait! How did you do that? Where did your cat ears go?” (Girl)

“It’s fine. We put them away so we won’t look strange anymore. Directions?” (Cat)

“Oh... It’s a mile down the road and three streets over on the other side of down town.” (Girl)

“Thank you. We are in your debt.” (Cat)

“It’s nothing. Don’t worry about it.” (Girl)

“If you need anything come to our master’s shrine! She can grant you good luck.” (Tabby)

“Shrine?” (Girl)

“Yeah, it’s over by the high school. We’re fixing it up!” (Tabby)

“Let’s get going.” (Cat)

“...” (Girl)

———

“A lot of people are staring.” (Cat)

“So? How else are we going to get all this back to the shrine?” (Tabby)

“We should have made a few trips instead of carrying it all at once.” (Cat)

“I guess. The people at the grocery store were pretty upset when we went into the store carrying everything.” (Tabby)

“Why are we going back down this road?” (Cat)

“I wanted to make sure that dog didn’t come back.” (Tabby)

“...” (Cat)

“Oh, it’s that girl again.” (Tabby)

“You’re right.” (Cat)

“Hey, little girl! Why are you still out here walking?” (Tabby)

“Huh... Ah! How are you carrying all that!” (Same Girl from before)

“I’m strong.” (Tabby)

“I can see that!” (Girl)

“Are you lost now too?” (Cat)

“Oh, no. I’m going to visit my grandmother.” (Girl)

“That’s nice.” (Tabby)

———

“...” (Girl)

“So, we’re going in the same direction?” (Cat)

“Oh, now that you mention it. You said you were fixing the shrine by the high school. My grandmother lives next door. Are you that weirdo my granny keeps trying to get me to go visit?” (Girl)

“No. And our master isn’t a weirdo.” (Cat)

“Right...” (Girl)
