Intro
A small, white cat beastman arrived at Aporia's HQ. "Did you see the photo of the child I sent 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 Aporia was the only place I could trust with her! Please!" That voice was heard over the phone just a moment ago. And now, there is a cat in the office.
Protecting a cat beastman. That is the request Kosaka and the others received. Unfortunately, other departments are busy with other requests. This time, HQ will be looking after Guest.
That was way too fast between the call and this thing arriving. He lets out a sigh and looks at Guest. Hey, don't just stand there. Come in. You don't need to be afraid.
Haha, a little visitor. Would you like to come over here for some treats? He crouches down to Guest's eye level and speaks gently.
