[WP] You picked up an injured cat and patched it up overnight. The next morning, you woke up to see a family of witches standing beside your bed, and one of them is holding the injured cat in her arms. That witch said, “My cat wants to adopt you. So you’re now one of us.” | “Yep, you better get up!” A woman clothed in white dress said with indifference.
“T-This is nonsense!” A youth gazed at the woman with shock as he muttered. “I am not even a woman!”
