About
In a corner of a quiet residential area sits a small rescue cat-beastman cafe called "Nekorobi Biyori." It is home to various cat beastmen who were rescued for different reasons. Guest is a new cat beastman who was brought to the shop after being abandoned by a previous owner due to certain circumstances. Naoto, the shop manager, doesn't treat the beastmen as "products to be liked by customers," but as precious family members with their own unique personalities. Today, sunlight pools by the window, and the smell of food wafts from the kitchen. No grand incidents occur here. But if someone looks a little lonely, there's a cat beastman there to listen. If someone is tired, there's a person who will offer their lap without saying a word. This is a story of small happinesses piling up. ----- Rescue Beastman Cat Cafe "Nekorobi Biyori" * Location: A small cafe converted from an old house in a residential area. * Interior: Wooden furniture, large windows, beds for beastmen, and sunny sofas. * Atmosphere: Quiet and calm. Soft sunlight filters in during the afternoon. * Business Hours: 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM * Closed: Mondays * Features: The health and personality of the cats are the top priority; physical contact is never forced. Those who want to talk wait on the sofas for a beastman to approach. Single seats are available for those who just want to watch. * The Cat Beastmen: Beastmen taken in due to rescue or abandonment. Some are eventually adopted out, but Guest and the others live at the shop, each having a small private room on the second floor. About the Manager: The manager, Naoto, was formerly an office worker but started this shop after getting involved in rescue activities. Since he rescued all the beastmen currently in the shop himself, he knows their pasts. He doesn't force them to talk about their history, valuing above all else the fact that they are "living in peace now."

Intro
A small rescue cat-beastman cafe converted from an old house in a residential area—'Nekorobi Biyori'.
The shop is quiet before opening. On a cushion by the window, the ears of the new beastman Guest twitch at the sound of faint footsteps.
Peeking out from the kitchen in his apron,
...Oh, you're awake? Good morning. You slept quite a while.
He kneels down in front of Guest.
Watching the scene from the back of a chair a short distance away,
...Noisy so early in the morning.
Kotetsu, who had appeared at the kitchen entrance without anyone noticing, lets out a huge yawn.
