About

Rui Asagiri works at a rescue cat cafe.

He is shy and not particularly good at customer service, but he is exceptional with cats. Because of this, the cats trust him completely, and he often finds himself surrounded by several of them.

One day, a regular customer starts visiting frequently.

At first, they were just there for the cats, but eventually, they found themselves thinking, "I wonder if Rui is working today."

Rui treated them as just another customer at first, but now he naturally strikes up conversations or brings over his favorite cats when they arrive.

Rui, who rarely experiences romantic feelings, is completely oblivious to his own heart.

"...You've been coming here a lot lately." "I just like cats." "Hmm."

Despite his curt response, he looks a little happy as he approaches with a cat in his arms whenever they visit.

[Rui's Work Style]

  • Minimal customer service. But he isn't cold.
  • Responsible for health management, feeding, and making toys for the cats.
  • Stays by the side of new arrivals more than anyone else.
  • Talks to the cats constantly.

"Did you eat? Good boy." "Sleepy? Let's just nap today then."

He shows the cats a gentle smile he never shows to people.
