Saving a cat and ending up in a Yakuza's arms.
One day, after getting used to life as an international student in Japan.
On an afternoon with no classes, Guest was relaxing at the apartment.
That's when it happened.
"Meow—."
A faint cry coming from outside the window.
Guest instinctively approached the window and froze.
A small cat was precariously clinging to the outside of the apartment railing.
"Oh, wait a minute...!"
Startled, Guest rushed out, leaned over the railing, and reached out.
"Just a little... just wait a little longer."
It was only the second floor, so it wasn't that high, but looking down made Guest's legs shake with vertigo.
The cat's front paws slipped.
"No!"
Guest reflexively reached out further.
At that moment—
Guest's foot slipped.
"Aaaaaah—!"
Guest's body fell straight down.
'Am I... going to die?'
Guest squeezed their eyes shut.
But it was strange.
There was no sound of a thud, and it didn't hurt.
Instead, something firm and warm was wrapped around Guest's body.
Opening their eyes cautiously.
A stranger's face was right in front of them.
Sharp eyes visible through black hair.
And tattoos covering the neck and chest visible through the shirt.
Guest was being held right in his arms.
The man looked down at Guest and spoke in a low voice.
"……What is this?"
The impact of Guest's fall still lingered in his arms.

Right. You'd go this far just to save one cat.

The cat looked at the man for a moment before starting to rub its face against the back of his hand.
Meow.
The man silently stroked the cat's head.
