“… Huh!?”
When I woke up, the first thing I saw in my sight was a gray ceiling .
There were cracks everywhere, and I saw the ceiling where something like the sun was shining through the cracked gaps, and tilted my head as to why I was sleeping in such a place .
“What…? Why am I in this kind of… Place…”
Certainly, I was trying to go home from school while holding an umbrella, and I encountered Shishihara, and then I was surrounded some lights and magic circle that I didn’t understand .
“Shi, Shishihara!”
I got up and looked around .
I saw debris was rolling around . It didn’t seem like a place where human live .
If I look closely at the place where I were sleeping, it seems that I were sleeping on an altar-like table . From the sidelines, it seems as if I would be sacrificed in some kind of ritual .
“What is this place … No, wait . Situation, I need to grasp the situation…”
When I returned from school, a magic circle occurred at the feet of my classmate, Shishihara, who happened to be walking ahead of me .
I was just within that magic circle range, so I was caught up in it .
“The shock at that time … Maybe I was repelled?”
I was halfway into the magic circle, but I think I was blown away from the magic circle during the transfer .
So, I fainted in a place like an archaeological site that I didn’t know where is it . So, it’s must be a different place from the place where I was supposedly to be taken .
… .
… .
“What does it mean!”
I slams my school bag that was transferred with me on the ground and screams .
I really don’t understand .
Why do I have to be thrown into a place where it doesn’t even look somewhere around Japan, huh!?
“No way, did ‘That’ fly me to this kind of place!? Is that even possible!?”
Rather, can I even go home!?
So far I only feel the danger for my life, though!?
For a few minutes, I cried out at an empty ruin and regained my composure for the time being, and realized that I couldn’t do anything even if I was screaming, so I decided to check my belongings first .
“Smartphones, pencil cases, umbrellas and bags … Yeah, I don’t think there’s nothing useful …”
First, my smartphone screen said is out of service .
What’s more, the battery level is 3%, just a few minutes before it becomes a completely useless .
I don’t have anything I can count on .
Then, around here… is there an exit around here? For the time being, I want to get out from this dim place where the sunlight hardly seen .
“Something, is there nothing, huh …”
Oh, There it is . Something like an exit .
However, the rubble is piled up and there is only a hole that big enough for one person to pass, and it is unknown whether there is a point beyond that .
Let’s go there after investigating this place a little more .

With that in mind, when I was looking for something around the place I woke up, I found something behind the altar .
It’s hard to see because the shadow of the altar, but it’s look like something as big as human .
No, that is more than a human size …
“A . a corpse!?”
It’s the body of a skeletonized person .
I fell behind because of surprise, and trembled with fear .
The fact that this person’s body is here means that he was brought in like me … and couldn’t leave…?
“Here, am I, am I going to…”
Bad imagination in my mind doesn’t stop .
Facing the reality in front of me, my heart is about to break .
At that time, some noise can be heard from the hole that seems to be the exit .
While my shoulders keep shaking, I looked at it, and something like a small black animal crawled out from the hole .
“C, cat …? In this kind of place …?”
“…!”
It’s a black cat .
A cat whose eyes shined suspiciously without crying in a place so dim like this .
It’s line of sight was directed at me, who was sitting in front of the skeleton corpse .

“…”
It looked like a normal cat that I usually watched in videos and saw from a distance . But, for some reason it didn’t seem like a cat to me .
It’s another creature in the shape of a cat .
Intuitively, the black cat on the rubble made a strange leap on the spot and attacked me .
“What?”
Being attacked by animals— For me, who lived a life without such worries, I couldn’t have been able to react to the black cat that open its front legs and try to attack me .
As it is, I was pushed down by a black cat that bitten my chest and I hits my back against a cold stone pavement .
When I opened my eyes to the pain, there was a black cat’s face with bare fangs at the tips of my eyes and nose .
“I’m sorry! I used to lie that cats aren’t cute, but actually, I loved cats very much! I watched the videos about cats so many times!! I’m hated by cats, but, in truth I always wanted to touch them at least once in my life! So please… life, spare my life!”
“…”
When humans are cornered, they say anything .
With teary eyes, I’m begging for my life in front of a cat, and the black cat who saw it, touches my chin with his small forefoot and move it left to the right as if to confirm something .
Kaito and the Cat
Ah, it’s a paw… and I thought it was okay to die now, but the black cat suddenly move away from my face .
“You are, a human?”
“…Huh?”
Did the cat just speak?

Eh, it’s a lie right? Do cat usually talk?
Maybe, because I was hated by animals, I’ve never knew that cat actually can speak?
To me who is confused, the black cat moves its tail softly .
“I was surprised . I’ve never thought there are any humans who get lost here . You look a bit insane, though … Hmm… This Mana . ”
“Why, w-w-why… why cat could talk …”
“Mmm? I’m not a cat . ”
A black cat make a slightly stuffy face .
That figure, what is it if it wasn’t a cat? Is that something from a cat species overseas?
“Don’t you know? I’m a shape shifter . I’m not a cat, I’m a monster . ”
“Shape… shifter? Monster?”
“Hmm, don’t you know anything about me or monsters? This is… another strange human being . ”
The black cat got off from me, jumps on the altar .
He stretched his back to look down at me, and spoke clearly to me with a beautiful voice .
“First, we should talk about each other . ”
After being blown away to a place that I don’t even know where it is, next is a talking black cat .
And somehow its called shape . . something and it’s a monster?
There are many things that I don’t understand, but at least I thought I could trust the existence in front of me who spoke reasonably .
