My Feline Spectator 『Aphmau!MCD x Oc insert』

『 Chapter 9: "Mothers hidden by shadows" 』

"mhm?" I opened my eyes to feel Aphmau shaking me awake. "Aph? What happened?" I tried to stand up but Aphmau stopped me. "Wait- Rest a little first Mei. You sustained a minor injury to the head so its best you lie down for a bit." She explained to me. "May I ask what happened- ZENIX" I bolted up just as my memory was coming back to me. "Shhh its okay just lay down for a bit I'll explain to you what happened." Aph said laying me back down and tucking me in? 'What?' I stared at her awkwardly. "So the old man we were helping was Zenix as you recall, but after you engaged in battle with him he knocked you out cold. Thankfully Kawaii~Chan and her maids were close by so they helped us." She explained to me as I slowly remembered what happened. "I shouldn't have taken the wood. Now what is he gonna do?" Aph mumbled to herself. "Don't worry Aphmau I kinda tampered with your maid and left most of the wood back in the dimension, safe to say he won't even have close to enough wood for his purposes." I grinned at her. "Wait you did? Thank Irene... Wait you're not calling me 'Aphmeow anymore'?" she looked at me with mixed emotions. "Don't worry Aphmeow! I'm just a bit *yawn* tired." She smiled at me relieved. "Take a rest, we can depart tomorrow." She said standing up to leave.

"Thank you so much Nana I couldn't thank you enough" I said to the pink haired Meif'wa "Its ok Michelle~Sama what are friends for! I hope you get there safely, and also say 'Hi' to your family for me!" I smiled and waved her goodbye as I went outside to join Aphmau. "Will do, Drop by sometimes they really love your company~" I said as I closed the doors to her café. "Ready to go Mei?" Aphmau looked at me as she picked up Thorgi in her lasso. "Mhm I'm ready, Hello there Kimi~Chan" I replied as I walked up to the horse to pet them. "Ah Mei since we only have one horse do you want me to bring you in a lasso?" She offered me. "Don't worry I have a horse with me." I said letting Peach come out of my subspace. "What- How did you- do you have a pet charm too?" she stared at my polka dotted horse in awe. "Sort of something like that, anyways this is 'Peach' she's been my faithful companion since I don't know? Forever?" I thought as I mounted her. "Let's go lady Aphmeow?" I smiled as we set off to Scaleswind.

As we entered the vicinity of scales wind we found some maids and decided to send them with Kimi~Chan. "You're sure she'll be able to get back?" Aph asked me. "She's a smart girl, Aren't you Kimi~Chan?" I smiled stroking the horses as I let Peach in my subspace again. When we entered Aph made a bee line towards a guard named 'Sota'. "Good day madam, what can I do for you?" he asked "I'm looking for a woman missing a baby." She told him as I looked around trying to spot my siblings. "SHE'S DEAD?!" I jump looking at them as I heard Aph scream. And it seems I wasn't the only one who heard her commotion "No, no, it's possible she's moved on and tried to look in a local town for her baby. She's very determined to find her missing baby boy." He explained to her as I felt arms embrace me. "Michelle!" I hear my oldest sister squeal from behind me. "Shhh!! Don't call me that Marie!" I scolded her a bit before I hugged her back. "Mei? Who's this?" I hear Aph finish her conversation and ask about the maroon haired Meif'wa that I was hugging back. "Ah Lady Aphmeow! This is my sister Marie! Marie this is Lady Aphmau!" I introduced them and they shook hands. "Aphmau eh? Well a friend of my baby sister is a friend of mine!" she smiled inviting us back home.

"So you're looking for Matilda eh?" she said mixing tea for us. "Well the town says they haven't seen her for the past week but me and my siblings have been hearing some things in the night so I'm not sure with that fact." She said giving Aphmau some tea as she smiled graciously. "Mei how many siblings do you have?" she looked at me as I exited the room of my sick brothers. "I have 6 older siblings Lady Aphmeow. 2 of which are inside the room whilst the other 2 are currently in Tu'La." I said facing my sister. "Where's Brother Ester by the way?" I ask Marie as her tail lowers. "Hehe uhm... well he's currently out and won't come back till... Tomorrow! Yeah tomorrow..!" she said hesitantly as I eyed her suspiciously. "I see you have a pretty big family... How about your parents I would love to introduce myself!" I just stared at her as she said as she sipped her tea. "I can lead you to them later lady Aphmau." I said a bit distracted by Marie's fidgeting. "Haha... okay, so if I were to look for clues where should I look?" Aph said changing the topic. "The Place I recommend you to look first is the church... I've seen Matilda there a few times though I haven't gotten to go there in a bit due to some things popping up." My sister told her as I just listen intently sipping tea. "Thank you! Mei, would you be coming with me?" I shook my head as I thought I should spend some time here with my siblings for a bit. "Okay then! See you later!" I smiled and waved her off after giving her directions.
