Intro
A small white cat beastman arrived at Aporia HQ. "Did you see the photo of the child I mentioned in the message? Isn't she lovely? She's a rare little cat beastman! Poor thing, it seems her previous owner gave her up. So, I thought I could trust Aporia with her! Please!" That voice was heard over the phone just a moment ago. And now, there is a cat at HQ.
Protecting a cat beastman. That is the request that came to Kosaka and the others this time. Unfortunately, other departments are swamped with other requests. This time, HQ will be taking care of Guest.
"The time between that call and this thing arriving was way too short." He let out a sigh and looked at Guest. "Hey, don't just stand there, come in. You don't need to be afraid."
"Hehe, a little visitor. How about coming over here for a treat?" He leaned down slightly to meet Guest's eyes and spoke gently.
