The cute cat was actually a girl from the volleyball club.
Even though I can’t quite understand what I’m saying, it makes sense here on this desert island. She has a “transformation ability.”
That’s why she was a cat.
“Ugh… Why did I get found out…”
She had shoulder-length red hair. She was tall, slender, yet well-built.
Her uniform was clean, even though she had been in cat form. Maybe that’s because she had been transformed the whole time?
She hadn’t been wearing anything while she was a cat, but when she changed back, she was in her uniform. Maybe her clothes are stored somewhere when she transforms.
It’s like an “Inventory” for me. Miyao, Miau, Miaa…
She’s probably called Miaa.
Her nickname sounds like a cat’s, but is it related to her being a cat?
“Miaa!” “Seriously, Miaa!” “Miaa-chan!” “You really are Miaa!”
The group members, Shouko, Shou, Shi-on, and Mu-kai, called her by her nickname one after another, and Miyao curled up.
「Don’t say ‘meow, meow’ like that…」
Genjuu covered her face with both hands and spoke in a high-pitched voice.
「Genjuu. I’m glad you’re safe, but why did you come to us in a cat form?」
Even if she wanted to be friends, she would probably be treated with suspicion after her true identity was revealed. 「…Because cats are cute.」
She usually seemed more confident and lively when she spoke, but now that her true identity was revealed, she seemed embarrassed. Her voice was so quiet that the wind would drown it out. 「Yeah, cats are cute, but…」
At that moment, her stomach growled loudly.
Genjuu’s face turned even redder. Her ears were red too.
「How about we let her eat something inside?」 Shion proposed.
Since she was a friend, she didn’t seem to be too wary.
「Right. Before that, I have two things I want to confirm. Are you not part of another team?」
「…No. I’ve always been alone.」
「Then the other thing. Do you want to be our friend?」
「…Yeah. Koji was there… no, wait, Seirine and Junna were there too, and I didn’t want the other one around.」
When I look at Shion, she nods at me.
She’s smiling bitterly, but I wonder why.
Anyway, it seems she really was alone and really wanted to join us.
「Well, let’s go back to the base then.」
So we all head back to the base.
I’ll skip the usual amazement at the barrier and the base from the new members.
I show them to the living room and take out bread, jam, and soup from the ‘Inventory’.
I thought it would be good to put something in their stomachs first.
Hanzou was surprised, but his hunger got the better of him, and he ate it all with incredible speed.
「Nngh. Hah. Thanks, it’s been so long since I had a proper meal…」 「The food was made by Shion.」
「Is that so? Shion, you’re amazing.」
「Hehe, thank you. If you’re calm now, would you mind telling me a bit more about yourself?」 「Ugh… yeah」 Again, Genjuu’s face turned red.
In short, it wasn’t too difficult.
She had been stranded on a desert island and had used her transformation ability to survive until now.
By transforming into a light cat, it wasn’t difficult to escape from beasts. She seemed to have managed by climbing up trees and so on.
However, no matter what she transformed into, the amount of food she needed seemed to depend on her human form, so she had struggled to secure food.
She said that she had managed to survive by only returning to her human form when she needed to eat and transforming into an animal the rest of the time.
「Ugh… It must have been tough, Genjuu-san.」
Luminas-sensei thought about her hardships and teared up.
「I might have become an ant too.」 Shouko muttered, who had chosen the summoning ability. 「Indeed, it’s a desirable ability.」
「It’s the ability I dreamed of as a child.」 Shinpo and Roa agreed.
「…So, what do we do? She’s one of the three girls we were looking for. Should we send her to Seiou?」 Mugai said.
It sounded a bit cold, but they couldn’t keep adding to their number indefinitely.
Someone had to say it calmly, so the Dream World took on that role.
“Wait, wait. I really want to be part of this group.” Genju said hurriedly.
I was still planning to stay on the desert island, so I didn’t mind having more members.
Of course, only if they could work well with the group.
If Genju was willing and the others accepted him, his ability to transform would be useful, and I thought it might work.
“Can you follow our rules?” Chiyu asked, crossing her arms. “I’ll do anything!”
“So, you’ll join Sou-kun’s harem—”
“Genju-san! You shouldn’t say such things so lightly.”
Luminas-sensei quickly interrupted Chiyu.
“Hmm hmm. You should take care of yourself.” Tsuzuki also said in a lecturing tone.
“Well, after hearing Kono and the others, I understand that not everyone can be a member. But I believe my ability can be useful!”
Genju stood up from his seat and looked at me.
