You take off Neko-chan’s collar and make your way around to the front of the pet shop.

“You’re taking me back?” Neko-chan asks. “I thought we were going somewhere safe.”/

“Trust me,” you say. “I am.”

You walk up to your mom’s car and she comes out of the bookstore looking confused.

“Where did you get that kitten?” she asks. “I didn’t give you any money.”

“It was stuck up in a tree, and I rescued it,” you say. “His name is Neko-chan.

“Neko-chan? That’s a nice name for an adorable kitty,” your mom says.

On the car ride home, Neko-chan sits in your lap as you pass the pet shop owner and the massive dogs, still searching angrily.

You are excited to show Neko-chan your room and all the things you like to play with every day. He finds all the best spots in your room for taking naps.

Neko-chan teaches you how to speak Japanese and he brings you good luck for the rest of your life.
