Esper glanced at the cat mockingly. Fish, shrimp, and now grass? I’ll never eat it. Esper smelled it out of instinct. Hmm… It took a bite. What’s this weird-tasting grass? And it got lost in eating again. It was fed more food after eating the grass. Esper had never been this full in its life. It walked around the garden just to digest the food. Lilly was looking at it from the balcony. Drake walked up to her to help her with school work. "What are you looking at?" Lilly pointed at Esper and said, "Drake, it’s moving in circles because it can’t eat anymore."

Bellflower was bored of lingering out there. This is boring; I should go back to play with that dumb bird... It can't do anything to me with Lilly there, right? Right! Why should I be afraid when Lilly is there? Ugh! That's my territory; why should I run after all my hard work?
Its stomach sounded like it was starving. It only realized how delicious Bettany's food was after it ran away from home. Bellflower missed her cooking… It was as if its legs had their own wish; it went back.
And Bellflower saw the black cat lingering in the garden the moment it arrived home. It was shocking to see another cat with such a strong aura!
Esper sensed its likes, so it turned around and saw the striking Bellflower. Esper paused and growled at it. It thought, Dammit, where does this ordinary cat come from? How much did it cost to see what I've done?
Bellflower thought, F*ck, where does this cat come from? Why do I feel like I might lose to it?
"Rookie! Why are you backing off?" Someone yelled. "Go get it! Don't be a coward!" Polly started to sing, "You're the best... The best! Rookie is the best!"
Bellflower hesitated, and it stared at Esper while it escaped to Lilly's room. Polly said sadly, "Oh no, you failed!"
Lilly heard Polly's noise, and she suddenly saw someone dash into her room through the window. "Eh? Bellflower, you're back." It was pitifully nuzzling Lilly.
Bettany happened to bring some snacks into her room, and she said, "Eh? Have you eaten Bellflower?" It went to her and nuzzled her as it meowed. Bettany said, "Oh, you haven't... But Esper finished your snacks. I'll make you some steam chicken slices!" F*ck! It's taking over my territory and also my food! And I can't defend myself?
Bellflower was about to complain to Lilly, but it suddenly realized Esper was by the window, waiting to attack it. Bellflower hurriedly jumped into Lilly's arms.
Esper glared at it and changed its position to sitting.
Bellflower taunted it by saying, "Come here if you dare!"
