"Filthy! Filthy! Aunt Li! Come up quickly!" The woman shouted loudly for reinforcements.
The nanny heard the mistress's call and hurried up to the attic, dropping her chores to ask what was needed. The mistress extended her soft, boneless fingers, pointing to the gap under the bed, and commanded, "Get that smelly cat out for me!"
Smelly cat?
Minamoto Tamako was momentarily stunned, and then realized she was perceived as a cat. She still couldn't get used to this identity; she'd rather be turned into a child than a cat. Why had she become a cat?
The nanny wasn't afraid of dirt. She crouched by the bed, reaching in. With nowhere to retreat, Minamoto Tamako decided to take the initiative. She was, after all, an armed criminal police officer. Were it not for her earlier carelessness, she wouldn't have died three times. Perhaps it was time to help Fushimi Roku clean house!
