Title: The Yukinoshita Sisters Who Could Only Meow

This nekomata was a product of the fusion of many universes, perhaps having slipped from a certain world of ghost stories.

Unfortunately, what it didn’t know was that it had encountered the number one exorcist in Kasukabe!

“Boy, surrender obediently. As long as you obey, I can cherish you well.”

The nekomata approached Shinnosuke with a grin, its expression becoming increasingly terrifying, sharp teeth, long tongue, and beastly eyes. Its originally beautiful face now only held lustful desire.

“After I eat those two women, I can transform into their forms. Do you like the older sister or the younger sister? I can satisfy you...”

Seeing Shinnosuke holding a short knife in his hand, the nekomata snorted coldly with disdain.

“Give up, human weapons can’t hurt me!”

As soon as the words left its mouth, Shinnosuke had already slashed with his sword, swinging it towards the nekomata from a distance.

Just as it was about to sneer, it felt a piercing pain in its chest, and half of its arm and shoulder were severed.

Shinnosuke had wanted to try this for a long time! But there was never a suitable target to use his full power. This monster that looked so terrifying was perfect for testing his strength.

‘It’s just, why does this creature feel so weak?’

Shinnosuke immediately charged forward and slashed at the nekomata’s neck.

The nekomata wanted to dodge, but couldn’t, and could only watch with its own eyes as Shinnosuke slashed its body again.

Strangely, neither when its arm was severed nor when its head was cut off did any blood come out.

The decaying skeleton of the youkai crumbled and turned into ash, and a black cat with matted fur revealed its true form.

The black cat lay limply on the ground, staring at the boy in front of it with fearful eyes.

Although a youkai, this nekomata was not very strong, only mastering some confusing illusions and some not-so-great magic.

It might be able to deal with ordinary people, but if discovered by the authorities, firearms could easily kill it, so it always hid in shrines.

This time, because its skin was about to decay, it was forced to target the two Yukinoshita sisters.

“Two tails, do I have to kill you twice?”

This time, the nekomata’s tail had completely split into two. Recalling the legends about nekomata, it seemed that each additional tail meant one additional life.

Hearing Shinnosuke say this, the nekomata lying on the ground, pretending to be dead, widened its eyes. It was caught!

“I will curse...”

Before it could finish speaking, it was slashed twice again by Shinnosuke. Accompanied by a horrifying scream, it completely turned into black smoke, leaving only a pile of ash on the ground.

Shiro, who always followed closely at Shinnosuke’s feet, looked extremely surprised.

‘Shinnosuke! You! Why didn’t you do this from the beginning! You’ve been casting me in so many movie episodes!’

“So smelly, Shiro, can you help me clean this up?”

Looking at the pile of ash on the ground, Shinnosuke was very disgusted, feeling that his Holy Sword Fubuki had become dirty.

‘Why me again? That youkai said it had youkai blood, is that true?’

Shiro easily accepted this arrangement. He had indeed been much smarter than other puppies since he was a child.

But even though he was a youkai, it wasn’t possible for him to constantly do housework, was it? However, after hearing the youkai say so and accepting this arrangement, Shiro felt stronger.

Sighing, he picked up a small broom from the side and began to clean.

“That guy also said he would curse me, why don’t I feel anything?”

Shinnosuke scratched his head, feeling a bit strange.

Now that he was here, it was better to watch some Gundam robots first.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

What Shinnosuke didn’t know was that the nekomata’s curse wasn’t directed at him, but at the two Yukinoshita sisters next door.

The charms carried by the two Yukinoshita sisters contained curse talismans drawn with the nekomata’s fur and blood, which allowed the nekomata to cast a curse before dying.

“What a sound sleep!”

Yukino felt like she had slept for a very long time and stretched her body widely.

What time is it? Why didn’t the alarm go off? Wanting to get up and check her phone, she realized something was wrong.

Why is her bed so big? Where’s Onee-chan?

Unconsciously wanting to call Haruno, what came out of her mouth was a soft “Meow~”

Eh?!

Paws, fur, whiskers!

She, Yukinoshita Yukino, had turned into a cat?

Although she really liked cats and was a big cat lover, she had never thought of becoming one!

Oh no, she turned into a cat. Would her family be very sad? Shinnosuke must also be very sad, right?

“Meow meow~ (Yukino?)”

Another cat came out from under the blanket and looked at Yukino in surprise.

“Meow meow! (Onee-chan!)”

Oh no, the future of the Yukinoshita family was over! Both daughters had turned into cats, how could mother’s matchmaking plans continue?

Yukino was a white cat, while Haruno was a black cat. The two sisters stared at each other without a word, their brains stopping functioning.

“Why did we suddenly become cats?”

Yukino looked at her older sister. Such a supernatural event suddenly happening to her made her very scared.

Imagining that she might never be able to return to being human, she was terrified.

“Does this have something to do with the shrine today?”

Although she herself was also panicking, seeing her younger sister who had turned into a cat and was still cute in front of her, Haruno still forced herself to calm down.

“Hehehe, you two must live well.”

Just at this moment, a voice sounded in the hearts of the two sisters simultaneously.

“If you two die, I won’t be able to revive either.”

“Who are you!” ×2

“I’m a nekomata passing by... as long as you two are obedient...”

The voice was intermittent and sounded very weak. Before it had a chance to say what the two should do, the voice suddenly became shrill.

“You... damn human? Why, why is my soul also split?!”

The voice slowly faded until it was completely inaudible.

This nekomata seemed to realize only now that it wasn’t just its body that was slashed by Shinnosuke, but its soul was also cut into several pieces by several consecutive slashes, and it was only at this moment that it completely collapsed.

Although the nekomata disappeared, its curse did not.

The two Yukinoshita sisters remained in cat form. The only thing to be grateful for was that within their hearts, a way to remove the curse appeared.

As long as someone could recognize their identities and call their names, the curse could be lifted!

However, if that person misidentified the two sisters, then they would never be able to return and could only spend the rest of their lives as cats.
