Making Kanda Sorata voluntarily leave Sakurasou was even easier. Frankly, this kind-hearted boy loved picking up stray kittens from the roadside. And the dormitory of Suimei University of the Arts Affiliated High School didn't allow keeping cats. He could only be forced to stay in Sakurasou, a gathering place for eccentrics—geniuses incomprehensible to ordinary people. Kanda Sorata, who was just an ordinary human with a little kindness, lived in Sakurasou, and was viewed with strange looks, the pressure in his heart was immense.
So, all this time, he had been looking for suitable owners for his cats. He hoped to send them away one by one, reducing his burden. However, as Renji Kamisaka said, the cats he sent away turned out to be "mothers" and widely advertised him among street cats. As a result, he became favored by cats in this way, and whenever there were kittens, they would be sent to his inevitable spot, waiting for him to pick up the kittens. If this continued, he would only take in more cats, trapped in a vicious furry cycle.
It's estimated that a certain second young lady from the Yukinoshita family would be very envious of this kind of thing, getting attention from cats, Renji thought, a fleeting image of Yukinoshita Yukino in his mind. It was said that Yukinoshita Yukino often carried cat food in her bag to give to stray cats on the roadside. But unfortunately, the cat food was never distributed even once—a detail that showed Yukino's tsundere side.
Ahem, back to the topic. To make Kanda Sorata voluntarily leave Sakurasou, he only needed to solve the problem of the cats he took in. Of course, Renji Kamisaka wasn't so cruel as to think of killing all the cats. That same day, he contacted the owner of a famous pet shop, offered 2 million yen and asked her to come and pick up the cats at Sakurasou. "Alright, just leave two or three," Renji thought. Sakurasou still needed a few pets to be cute.
Why couldn't Kanda Sorata get rid of the cats himself? The reason was very simple. He was just an ordinary student and didn't have much money. And it wasn't easy to find a suitable and trustworthy cat cleaner.
But the pet shop owner Renji Kamisaka contacted was different. This shop owner was also a cat lover. And besides running a cat pet shop at home, she also ran a "cat-sucking shop"—a place where people could come and pet cats to relieve stress. This was a type of shop specifically used to heal young girls, and specifically allowed people to come and pet cats. Since it was used to make money by raising cats, the shop would definitely take good care of the cats, and they would be clean every day. So there would be no more phenomena of cat abuse.
What's more, Renji Kamisaka also spent money, which was equivalent to an investment. At the end of the conversation, the shop owner also gave him 10% of the shop's dividends. Because he gave too much, the shop owner felt embarrassed. Her shop originally needed many cats to support its events. Renji Kamisaka not only provided free cats but also sent money. This made the shop owner feel that he was also a cat lover, a man who liked small animals and had a soft heart. So the shop owner was willing to give him shop dividends, a mutually beneficial agreement.
After the problem was resolved, he asked the shop owner to return to Sakurasou with him. Let the shop owner talk to Kanda Sorata.
On the way, he took the time to write a new game plan. As for the theme, it was a Madoka Magica type, focusing on a dark healing style—a popular genre yet not extensively explored in this world. The most famous magical girl animation in this world currently was "Magical Girl Meruru." Several series had been released. If Kosaka Kirino were in this world, Kirino would probably have bought all the series, Renji thought, a slight smile touching his lips imagining Kirino's fussy and reactive demeanor.
Kosaka Kirino, from "My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute," was the epitome of a tsundere heroine, Renji mused. However, compared to the tsundere Kirino, I preferred Kirino's best friend, Aragaki Ayase, when watching the anime. Aragaki Ayase also had the nickname "little angel." She was a very sweet girl.
Ahem, that was a bit off-topic.
Back to the topic. Renji Kamisaka had also written online novels some time before time traveling. So it was still very easy to write a magical girl plan. After writing the general storyline, he and the pet shop owner also arrived at Sakurasou.
"Kanda, are you home? Come out for a moment. I have something important to tell you," Renji called, knocking on Sorata's room door.
Hearing the knock on the door, Kanda Sorata immediately opened the door and stepped out. Seeing that it was Renji Kamisaka, and a gentle and mature older sister beside him, he immediately felt a little shy, his cheeks flushing.
"Eh, Master Landlord, what's wrong? And who is this older sister?" he asked, his voice a little hesitant.
Renji Kamisaka smiled faintly and introduced her to him.
"This is Mrs. Ishihara Satomi, the owner of a pet culture shop in Chiba shopping street."
"Didn't you always want to find a suitable home for cats?" Renji asked, gesturing towards the cats clinging around Sorata.
"This Miss Ishihara Satomi runs a pet shop, and also has a special cat-sucking shop that can be visited, a place where cats are well cared for and can be hugged."
"If you are willing," Renji continued, "you can hand over all those cats to her to raise."
"Eh, really?" Kanda Sorata showed a surprised expression, his eyes wide, but after seeing the cats in the room seemingly pleading, he showed a hesitant expression again.
"I want to find suitable owners for the cats and send them away, but... it's..." Sorata mumbled, unsure.
Ishihara Satomi smiled gently, her smile soothing, she had read the uneasiness in Sorata's eyes. "Little brother, I know your worries. You're afraid I'm a bad person and will harm the cats, right?"
"You can come with me to visit my pet shop and the cat-sucking shop to see for yourself, and after you understand the living environment and daily care of the cats in our shop, you should be able to make a decision," Ishihara explained, her tone full of understanding.
"So, young man, will you come with me?"
"Yes!"
Kanda Sorata was enchanted by Ishihara Satomi's gentle tone, and his face flushed. Without saying a word, he nodded and agreed, as if hypnotized by Ishihara's kindness.
Then, Ishihara Satomi took Kanda Sorata away. It seemed everything was to be resolved. By following Ishihara Satomi's lead, Kanda Sorata could send the cats he picked up to Ishihara Satomi in the future. This way, he could return to the school dormitory without having to stay in Sakurasou, an ideal solution. This was truly beneficial for all parties!
Taking advantage of his free time, Renji Kamisaka placed the completed game plan at Misaki Kamiigusa's room door, a surprise for Misaki. After that, all that remained was to wait for her reaction.
During this time, Ogiwara Sayu diligently cleaned, kneeling on the ground to mop the floor, every movement full of dedication. Sometimes the girl would look at him with eyes full of resentment—not true resentment, but rather a cute jealousy. Her small mouth pouted slightly, an adorable expression. He estimated she was jealous, Renji realized.
After all, she was clearly in Renji Kamisaka's arms last night. Then, Misaki Kamiigusa took her place, a fact that bothered Sayu. But what embarrassed her was that it seemed she couldn't satisfy Renji Kamisaka, which allowed Misaki Kamiigusa to take the main position. A feeling of inadequacy enveloped her heart.
What was all this about? Although Ogiwara Sayu had long anticipated that Renji Kamisaka would have other girls besides herself, however, when faced with this kind of situation, she still felt heartbroken, a small wound in her heart. With other girls, could I continue to enjoy Renji Kamisaka's tenderness? She felt panicked about this, a fear of loss.
Just as she felt sad, a large, warm hand landed on her small head and gently stroked it twice, a soothing touch.
"What are you thinking about, looking so sad?"
It was Renji Kamisaka. This large, warm hand quickly made Ogiwara Sayu's eyes wet, tears welling up. She couldn't help but throw herself into his arms, seeking comfort. She hugged Renji's waist tightly, as if afraid of losing him.
"Renji, can I still stay here?" she asked, her voice trembling.
"Of course you can. Did you forget? You are now a part of Sakurasou," Renji replied, hugging her tightly.
"If you're because of what happened with Miss Kamiigusa Misaki last night..." Sayu began, her tone full of guilt.
"No, I don't mind. If anyone lost, it must be Miss Kamiigusa Misaki, right?" Renji smiled mischievously, trying to ease the tension.
With a flushed face, Ogiwara Sayu rubbed her cheek against the man's chest, a little embarrassed, but there was an unspoken sense of relief.
"Although it's embarrassing to say."
"But it seems I can't satisfy you alone," Sayu whispered, an honest and painful confession.
She clearly wanted to give herself to him. But her body couldn't satisfy this person, a bitter reality. This made Ogiwara Sayu feel frustrated, and she also felt too weak. With such weak combat power, she felt unqualified to exclusively possess this gentle man.
Hearing Ogiwara Sayu's words, Renji Kamisaka was stunned. Then he began to smile mischievously, a small smirk.
"In that case, try to coexist harmoniously with Misaki-senpai," Renji suggested, his voice containing a teasing tone.
"But it might be better to pretend it didn't happen for now." Renji added, his tone more serious.
After all, Misaki-senpai didn't say she wanted him to take responsibility.
"I understand." Ogiwara Sayu looked at him wryly, but there was understanding in her eyes.
Renji Kamisaka couldn't help but sigh with emotion. This 'never-falling spear' skill was truly useful. Even Sayu felt guilty for not being able to satisfy him. This was tantamount to giving him the best reason to have multiple relationships—a cunning yet beneficial thought.
