Chapter 372 Cats are always better than mice...

"Why do I smell so good?"

Xiao Ke had just woken up and was still feeling a bit dizzy.

His expression was also glazed over.

It raised its arm, scratched its armpit, and then put its hand in front of its nose to smell its scent.

It was discovered that it did indeed smell very fragrant.

Xiao Ke, in his daze, also felt something was strange.

"Sakura, you big idiot, why did you have to take a bath while I was sleeping?"

After a while, it calmed down.

Xiao Ke felt that her consciousness had almost returned.

It slowly opened its eyes, only to find that the ceiling it saw was not the one it was used to.

"(··) Oh, right?"

Xiao Ke suddenly sat up.

Its big, yellow head looked around, quickly surveying its surroundings.

It then discovered that it really wasn't in Sakura's bedroom.

It was a completely unfamiliar place that I had never seen before.

"What's going on? How did I get here? Where am I???"

Xiao Ke's face was completely bewildered.

It looked down.

I discovered that I was covered by a thin blanket.

Even the place where he lay was a small, exquisite-looking bed.

Xiao Ke had seen it on TV; it was the crib from those TV dramas.

It's just a bit smaller than a real crib.

It looks like a toy for dolls.

Even without its transformation, it wasn't very tall, yet it fit perfectly inside.

Looking around.

There were many dolls in the room.

Besides these, there are various building blocks and other toys for children.

This room appears to be a children's room.

Xiao Ke also noticed that it was right in front of her.

There was a small stool.

There was also a Barbie doll on the bench.

We face it the same way.

It feels as if someone deliberately placed this doll here to keep Xiao Ke company.

"It seems like this is the room of a girl even younger than Sakura," Keroberos thought to herself.

The things in the room looked a little messy.

However, the hygiene is very good.

It's obvious that someone cleans this place regularly; the tabletops and floors are very clean.

"How did I end up here out of nowhere?!"

Xiao Ke felt a tiny bit of pain in her head.

It felt like someone was stirring something inside your head with a stick.

It felt as if many needles were piercing my skull.

"click"

Suddenly, the door was pushed open.

Xiao Ke quickly turned its head to look and immediately realized that it could not reveal its identity outside.

Otherwise, it will only bring a lot of trouble to yourself and Sakura.

But it was just about to pretend that it was a doll, acting as a lifeless, inanimate object.

However, when the little girl who pushed open the door saw it, instead of asking what Xiao Ke had expected—questions it couldn't answer—she greeted it in a relaxed tone: "You're awake? Did you sleep well?"

The little girl was also holding a tray.

It appears to contain some simple food.

"And who is this girl—?"

Xiao Ke felt like she had blacked out.

I can't remember anything that happened yesterday.

"I feel like I've lost a whole day's worth of memories—" Xiao Ke's expression was slightly blank.

It looked at the little girl who seemed not to be surprised at all after seeing him.

I felt a little panicked.

"What exactly happened to me yesterday? How much does this girl know about my identity?"

No one could immediately answer Xiao Ke's question.

The girl also tiptoed, pushed the doorknob to close the door, and then came to Xiao Ke with the tray.

There is a small board in the very center of this crib.

The little girl placed the plate on top.

"You woke up too late, quite a while has passed, you don't have time for breakfast, but you can have morning tea."

The girl giggled.

They seemed to have no doubts about Xiao Ke's existence.

"Does she think of me as some kind of cat or mouse?"

Xiao Ke gritted her teeth.

In the end, he chose not to speak.

Instead, they silently gazed at each other.

"There's milk here, would you like some?" the little girl asked Xiao Ke. "Do you have a name?"

Xiao Ke blinked.

They remained silent.

"Why is she asking my name right away? Does this little girl know I can talk?" Xiao Ke wondered with some uncertainty.

It seems it's overthinking things.

The little girl did not ask any further questions.

It seems like what she just asked was just a casual question.

"Hey, you must be hungry, have some milk."

The little girl scooped a spoonful of milk from the plate and gently placed it near Xiao Ke's lips.

It seems like they want to feed it.

Xiao Ke was completely bewildered.

He stood there, stunned, without saying a word.

It was a little unsure whether to continue pretending to be a doll or an animal.

"Don't you like milk?"

The little girl's eyes were very clear. She put the spoon to Xiao Ke's mouth, but the other child showed no intention of licking the milk.

"Are there any small animals that don't like to drink milk?" the little girl blinked and asked Xiao Ke. "Are you a kitten?"

Upon hearing the little girl's words, Xiao Ke instinctively shook her head in denial: "No (no) ————"

However, it immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Oh no, what did I say?!"

Xiao Ke's eyes widened, and she quickly covered her mouth.

Impressed.

I was still debating whether to continue playing the puppet or pretend to be a small animal.

As a result, the moment he opened his mouth, he began to speak human language.

Xiao Ke was speechless at her own actions.

Sure enough, the little girl stared at it in surprise, her mouth slightly agape: "The kitten can talk?"

Xiao Ke hurriedly shook his head.

"Oh no! Sakura and that brat keep saying that if they're discovered, they'll be captured, dissected, and used as lab rats or yellow mice for research—"

"Haha~ What an adorable sound!"

However, the little girl behaved differently than Xiao Ke had expected.

Instead of questioning Xiao Ke's ability to speak, she let out a childlike laugh.

"Your name is Bubu (Qiuqiu)? That's a very nice name! I'll call you Qiuqiu from now on!"

It turns out that the little girl mistook Xiao Ke's earlier statement for its cry.

Xiao Ke was stunned.

Its mind is now filled with thoughts of why it ended up here and how it can get back to Sakura's side.

Judging from the little girl's expression, it seems she intends to keep it as a pet.

Instinctively, Xiao Ke shook her head, wanting to refuse the name the little girl had given her.

"mound----"

However, its words made the little girl think that it agreed with the name she had given it, and she immediately clapped her hands happily.

"Hi Qiuqiu, my name is Xiaoqian!"

The little girl was about to continue chatting with Xiao Ke when she suddenly heard a faint sound of a door opening outside.

Immediately afterwards, a female voice came.

"Xiaoqian, Mom is back. Are you in your bedroom?"

"Oh, Mom's back!"

The little girl's eyes lit up when she heard her mother's voice.

That sparkling childlike innocence is like the most dazzling light in the world.

She quickly stood up, intending to run out to find her mother.

However, her mother didn't forget about Xiao Ke's presence when she got home: "Qiuqiu, you stay here quietly for a while, okay? I'm going to find Mom. It shouldn't be long; I think she'll be leaving again soon."

"Don't worry, I'll come play with you right away, you won't feel lonely!"

After giving Xiao Ke her instructions, Xiao Qian jogged over, opened the door, and went out.

Only Xiao Ke, still looking regretful, remained.

Looking at the tightly closed door.

Although Xiao Ke was left here alone, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that it's all alone here, it can finally calm down and think things through.

Shaking her head and observing the details of the room, Xiao Ke sighed helplessly, "What Qiuqiu? My name is Xiao Ke!"

'

It really wanted to tell the little girl that its name wasn't Qiuqiu at all; what an awful name!

But there's nothing we can do about it.

Fortunately, the little girl is still very young.

They don't have much experience.

I always thought it was a rather unusual cat.

"They actually mistook me for a kitten? I'm braver than a tiger!"

Xiao Ke pouted, then thought to herself, Wang Changsheng and the others call her "little mouse" every day—

Forget it, I'd rather be treated like a cat.

"It seems that after eating those chocolates, I originally intended to go back to my bedroom to play games for a while, but inexplicably I went to the window to get some fresh air, and then I ran outside—"

"And then—"

Xiao Ke scratched the back of his head.

It doesn't remember much about what happened after that.

I only have a vague impression of it.

"What is that red thing?"

With one hand supporting her chin, Xiao Ke fell into deep thought.

"I have a feeling I did something rather irrational with that red thing... Oh well, never mind, should I run away now?"

Xiao Ke shook her head and began to observe the windows in the room.

However, it may be because the owner of the house has been away from home for a long time.

The windows appear to have been sealed off.

This is probably to prevent the little girl from accidentally falling out of the window while she's at home alone.

Seeing that there was no way to leave through the window.

The little girl and her mother were also outside.

"Forget it, let's wait for that little girl to arrive and find out where we are before making a decision. Anyway, if we want to run away, there will be plenty of opportunities!"

Xiao Ke sighed again.

"Besides, even if I could leave through the window now, I don't know where I am. It's not very reliable for me to find Sakura and the others on my own—"

Xiao Ke knows herself very well.

It traveled between the school and the park a few times with Wang Changsheng and Xiaoying.

For other places.

It had never been there and didn't know the place.

If no Clow Cards appear.

It can stay at home all day.

Staying at home all the time.

If the place it was in wasn't too far from Sakura's house, it might be able to find its way.

However, it seems to have been flying around the streets for most of yesterday.

We don't even know where it's going.

Xiao Ke felt it was better to play it safe and wait for the little girl to arrive before making a decision. She could then find out what was going on and make a decision later.

Otherwise, if she runs out and bumps into other people, Xiao Ke thinks those people wouldn't be as easy to fool as this little girl.

At least the other person would never think of themselves as a cat or any other animal.

What cat has wings?

"Damn it, I didn't take anything with me this time. I even left the communication flower that brat Wang Changsheng gave me at home. Sigh, if only I had that brat's Anywhere Door."

Xiao Ke looked like she was sighing.

That sound-transmitting flower can actually be directly integrated into the body.

However, Xiao Ke felt that Wang Changsheng's thing might have other effects.

For example, knowing what it did, etc.

So, to be on the safe side...

Unless it's going out with Sakura and the others, or if it's specifically going to capture the Clow Cards, Kero will not bring the communication flower that Wang Changsheng gave him.

After all, it is the mighty Clow Seal Beast—Kerberos!

Although this flower can transmit sound, what if that brat has ill intentions? What other effects might this sound-transmitting flower have that he hasn't told them about?

Xiao Ke is always wary of anything that can be integrated into her body.

It didn't want that brat Wang Changsheng to know exactly what it did every day.

Of course, Xiao Ke's high level of vigilance is also because she has suffered losses in the past.

That's a long story. When Kuro created it—

"Cough cough, so annoying (1ε1)~ I should have brought that brat's flower with me, but the transmission distance probably can't be too far, right? If they don't pass by, this flower is useless."

Little Ke rolled around in the crib that the little girl had prepared for it.

"Snoring"

Just then.

Xiao Ke felt her stomach start to rumble uncontrollably.

"I'm so hungry————"

Xiao Ke sat up.

A milky fragrance wafted to my nose.

Its gaze fell upon the plate of food that the little girl had placed in front of it.

It's said to be food.

It's basically just milk with some small particles soaking in it.

Those small particles appear to be biscuits.

It seems the little girl doesn't have any other pets at home, so naturally there's no pet food.

She specially prepared a meal for Xiao Ke that she thought pets could eat.

"That's quite thoughtful."

Xiao Ke smacked her lips.

The milk was still warm, so a fragrant aroma wafted through the air.

Little Ke couldn't resist any longer. It hugged the spoon and took a bite.

Then his eyes lit up and he immediately started eating it spoonful by spoonful.

"This milk smells so good! Is it pure milk or made from milk powder?"

It has a rich, creamy flavor.

Xiao Ke thought that none of the milk he had ever drunk at Xiao Ying's house tasted as good as this one.

Therefore, it wasn't entirely sure if the milk here was specially prepared for it by that little girl.

If so, that's even more troublesome than simply heating milk.

"How can such a young child already be making food by himself?"

Xiao Ke, holding the spoon, suddenly remembered what the little girl had said before she left.

"Is her mother leaving again soon? But I just heard the door open, so she must have just come back—so is this little girl home alone?"

Xiao Ke frowned.
