Life is difficult, but we still have to live.

Although there are requests in front of you, Fortunately, Senior Sister Heimi is still kind. Before challenging the King of the Smart Zoo, Ron will have a good rest one day.

Of course, after temporarily forgetting the matter of continuing to challenge Brother Pingtou the day after tomorrow and having a sleep, Ron was naturally taken by James to the place where he usually performed.

However, this time, going out was a bit different. When James walked out of the welfare room with Ron on his back and turned around and closed the door, he happened to see the tenant next to him doing the same thing.

It was a girl with curly blonde hair and a slim figure.

"Hi, hello~"

Recently, James' drug addiction has not occurred since he has been drinking potions on time. With Ron as his companion, his income from acting has increased several times, and he naturally has some flesh on his body - this gives James a little courage to talk to others.

So, when she saw that her neighbor was a girl, James felt it was necessary to say hello to meet her, so he tidied up his clothes slightly, James smiled and raised his hand.

"Hi, hello~"

"I'm James next door~"

Hearing James' greeting, the girl who closed the door next door turned around, and immediately there was a hint of surprise in both of them.

"Why are you?"

"Why are you?"

Ron, the girl who turned around, knew him. If it weren't for her, Ron would probably not even be able to enter the operating room of the pet hospital, let alone undergo surgery.

Of course, this girl James also knows Betty, who once worked as a caregiver in a pet hospital.

"Hello, James, I'm Betty, we should have met."

"I didn't expect you to live here too."

A hearty smile bloomed on Betty's face, like the sun just rising in the east, making James' cheeks warm and dazzling.

"Well, I... this is the welfare room I applied for."

"I...it's time for me to leave. See you tonight..."

Not knowing how to talk, James stuttered a few words, and turned around and ran away, leaving a embarrassed figure.

Such bumps made Ron, who was standing on James' shoulder, stretched out his hair claws and patted James' head in dissatisfaction.

“Meow~”

Brother, you don't have a good mount~

However, James' back, which fled in a panic, made Betty chuckle suddenly while covering her mouth.

"Puchi, what a strange person."

…………

"Fat Cat, I didn't expect it was her who lived next to me."

"What should I do in the future?"

Walking quickly until you can't see Betty, James grabbed his hair hard and said to Ron on his shoulders-replying him with a soft cat moan.

“Meow~”

Go ahead!

Don't be timid, just do it!

James may not notice it, but in Ron's opinion, because of the good drug rehabilitation process, James has gained weight recently. With his curly brown hair, sparse stubble, and a shabby guitar on his back, it naturally has a strange decadent charm, which can easily attract girls.

So in this cat meow, Ron was filled with strong encouragement.

However, before James could understand what Ron's scream meant, a thin palm suddenly grabbed James' sleeve - the people around him immediately frowned and began to stay away from where James stood.

"Hey, James."

"Long time no see, it seems that you have been doing well lately."

"What a cute little guy."

Turning his head, the one who appeared in front of James was the best he had ever been, Buzz, who enjoyed time in heaven together.

However, during this period, James became much fatter, but Buzz became thinner. His face, which should have been full of youthful collagen, was tightly wrapped around his skull, and his eyes were deep. You could tell at a glance that he was the one who often took medicine.

"Bazs, why are you here?"

Turning his head and looking around, looking at the eyes of people around him, James took off Buzz's hand from his sleeve and asked with a frown.

"I saw you. You pass by here every day, carrying a guitar and carrying a cat."

"I dare not get close, I am afraid of disturbing you."

Hunched over, Buzz said something he didn't believe, his eyes rolling up and down - Ron, who was squatting on James' shoulder, immediately found that Buzz's eyes were James' pockets everywhere.

Then, Buzz finally expressed his purpose of holding James.

"But, I'm too hungry now and haven't eaten for several days."

"Can you give me some money?"

"Let me buy something to eat."

“…”

Looking at Buzz's eyes silently, James' heart was fighting - after meeting Ron, he had gradually moved away from the circle where he had been with Buzz, but looking at Buzz's thin body and begging eyes, James finally couldn't bear it.

He reached into his pocket and took out a handful of paper money.

But before he could count it clearly, Buzz's palm trembled and quickly reached over, snatching the banknotes.

"You must buy food!"

"Remember, absolutely, never change the dressing!"

Grabbing Buzz's hand hard, James said to him almost roaring, and Buzz nodded with joy, sending the banknote to his mouth and kissing him gently.

"Thank you, thank you!"

"I promise I will never buy medicine, really!"

"Thank you, thank you!"

"Goodbye, James!"

Watching Buzz run away quickly, James sighed and turned his head to look at Ron.

"Fat Cat, did you think I did something wrong?"

"Baz will definitely spend half of his money to buy medicine."

“Meow~”

I think so too

In line with it, James hugged Ron off his shoulders - Ron was a little heavy, James occasionally needed to change hands.

After hugging Ron, James stroked his hair by the way - he felt very lucky. If he hadn't met this fat cat, he would probably have been mingled with Buzz now.

Then at this time, the person who rushed out and asked his acquaintance for money might be himself.

"The car is here."

"Let's go~"

Soon, I walked by the tunnel bus station. After waiting for a while, James and Ron got on the bus and headed towards their daily location.

Then there was a day of singing. When night fell, the exhausted James took Ron back to the welfare room - but the light in the next room was not on, which made James a little uneasy.

The next morning, James couldn't wait to push open the door early in the morning and immediately saw a smiling face like the sun.

"Good morning, James~"

"Good morning, Betty."

Looking at the smiling face opposite, a smile slowly appeared on James' face.
