Chapter 120: The Cat and Elf-san
"Onii-chan’s viewers, sailors, good morning. I’m Siren."
Top Chat: Kyoka-chan is such a good girl, greeting everyone.
Top Chat: She even called out the sailors!
Top Chat: She’s wearing something cute again today.
Top Chat: Neko neko!
"Thank you. Onii-chan picked this out for me."
In the living room, Kyoka played with the viewers. Today’s outfit was a big white shirt with black cat paw prints running down onto a matching skirt, the prints trailing all the way to her hips. A hood with cat-ear-like points suited her perfectly.
Top Chat: Hooh.
Top Chat: Is this another Elf-san coordinate?
Top Chat: Elf-san, do you like cats?
"Nn."
"Onii-chan is really good at catching cats."
Top Chat: Cat-catching pro, Elf-san.
Top Chat: Confidence Elf incoming—is this it!?
"If you draw a circle on the ground, they’ll come."
Top Chat: Oh, wrong one.
Top Chat: Guess it wasn’t Confidence Elf’s turn.
Top Chat: Disperse!
Top Chat: Thinking about it, if Kyoka knows this trick, it must’ve been from before Elf became Elf.
"If you make food out of leftovers, they’ll stay around longer."
"I wanted to feed them too, but I got stopped…"
"Humans eat lots of things cats can’t. And human seasoning is way too strong for them."
Top Chat: Detailed!
Top Chat: Is Elf-san confident in cat handling too?
"I heard that if you feed squid to cats, they lose the strength in their legs, so I looked into it a little."
Top Chat: Huh, really?
Top Chat: Never knew that.
Top Chat: Raw squid guts have an enzyme that destroys a cat’s Vitamin B1, making their legs give out.
"Ah, Onii-chan."
"What is it?"
"How many slices of bread are you toasting?"
Top Chat: He averted his eyes lol.
Top Chat: Grass.
"Seven should be doable."
"No way!?"
"I believe in you, Kyoka."
"Believe in me for something else!?"
"You mustn’t lose the spirit to challenge yourself."
"You’ll lose your health first!"
Top Chat: Yeah nah, even for a guy seven’s rough.
Top Chat: Even I, a calligraphy club member, couldn’t do that.
Top Chat: That’s why it should’ve been a sports club example.
Top Chat: Can brass band count as sports club?
Top Chat: Barely counts.
"I want to train Kyoka’s stomach."
I set down a plate of toast on the table. Today I was wearing a pale leaf-patterned shirt with a skirt that reached below the knees, topped with a light bolero.
Top Chat: Cute outfit, but she’s talking like our club advisor.
Top Chat: Reminds me of that sadistic OB who’d drill us until we puked stomach acid, then drag us to yakiniku: ‘Huh? You’re not eating? Guhehe.’
Top Chat: Demon.
Top Chat: We secretly swapped in a sumo wrestler once, and the OB’s torture stopped.
Top Chat: Devil.
Top Chat: So, what’s for breakfast today?
"Soaked bread."
I sliced the bread thinly and set it on a large plate. In front of Kyoka I placed extended dishes: stew, curry, instant potage, clear soup, and miso soup—light on ingredients.
Top Chat: Ahh, dangerous.
Top Chat: This is the kind you can soak bread in forever.
Top Chat: Does clear soup or miso soup even go with bread?
Top Chat: If it goes with rice, it usually goes with bread too.
Top Chat: Feels like Elf cuisine is breaking a taboo here.
"I-Itadakimasu!"
"Eat a lot."
"Ah, delicious… Bread with dashi is weird, but tasty."
"I cut back the ingredients and diluted the flavor to match bread."
"That makes sense. It really makes me want to dip more and more."
"Don’t forget to add lots of croutons."
"Ahh, so crispyyy."
"The chocolate cream’s expiration date is close, so finish it off too."
"Sweet! So good!"
Top Chat: Half the potage is croutons lol.
Top Chat: Expiration date ‘close’ (next spring).
Top Chat: Fall——en.
Top Chat: That was fast.
"I’ll make it last another three months at least."
Top Chat: She extended it again.
Top Chat: Confident in feeding—this is Elf-san’s specialty!
