Nekopara: New Beginnings [On Pause]

Chapter 3: An Old Enemy

Meringue: "You want us to sneak into the school that you're interested in trying out?"

Caramel: "Just for a little bit, please? I know that today is a school day."

Anmitsu: "If it'll help you decide that such a place is a vile uninhabitable prison, then fine. Minazukis don't go to school."

That was something that the three brothers decided. No school for them, especially after hearing their father's tales. But it was kind of a weird thing when Aunt Shigure told them about her high school experience, being mostly tolerable. However, they were going to trust their old man on this one. Hmmm... Calling Ray their old man sounds a bit wrong here, he's only twenty years old. The four Minazuki kittens go off and go to the school. From there, they saw what the students were wearing and if they were going to infiltrate the place, they'd need to look the part. They snuck around until they found spare uniforms and put them on

Anmitsu: "This stupid ass uniform is so uncomfortable. Not a great first impression."

Caramel: "I can't say I'm a fan of this short skirt either..."

Meringue: "That's because that's not your size."

Velvet: "Yeah Caramel. That one's on you. Now what do we do?"

Meringue: "I think we simply try to fit in. But how... our ears and tails stick out like a sore thumb."

Caramel: "We could do what dad taught us. To tuck our ears and tail when we're going places we're not supposed to."

Whether Ray is a good or bad parent for teaching them to break rules/potentially laws, you have to admit that it is a handy skill to have.

Anmitsu: "That's a great idea Caramel, but, what about your tail, you can't exactly hide it that well in a short skirt like that. Not to mention, mine is also having issues fitting. Our tails are too fluffy, curse us for being Maine Coons."

Meringue: "True, that is an issue... here, what about this?"

Meringue finds two school jackets in the pile as well and ties one onto Anmitsu's and Caramel's waist.

Meringue: "This way, your tails can be hidden a little better."

Caramel: "Woah, thanks Meringue. That's our big brother for you."

Meringue let's them shower him in praise for being so smart on the quick thinking. Like parent like child. They then go take the risk and simply expose themselves in the hall. Not surprisingly, they are ignored by everyone else. Because your average high school student doesn't give a damn who you are, heck they barely give a damn about themselves. At most, they'd probably be viewed as the weird kids.

Anmitsu: "Well I don't know what we were so worked up about, we're fine."

???: "You three, get to class, lunch is over."

It seemed a hall monitor had spotted them.

Meringue: "*whisper* Looks like we gotta go."

Anmitsu: "Yeah... We're going to class now."

They walk in the opposite direction of the hall monitor and realize they don't know where to go.

Velvet: "You said that we were going to class but where exactly is this 'class'?"

Anmitsu: "Beats me. I just wanted to get away from her. You pick Caramel, we're only here because you dragged us here."

Caramel: "Hmph! Fine, I'll lead this so called expedition we're going on then. We are going to... that classroom!"
