"Hey Orikin, do you like cats or dogs more?"
Ise Yu Yuzhijin was obviously startled by this sudden question, but still answered honestly, "Well... having a dog is too much trouble; you have to take it out for walks often. Cats are better, they don't eat much..."
"So I don't like either."
"Eh...?"
"You see, while cats are cute, they're also very aloof and often don't come home. Being too independent is worrisome. Plus, cats are symbols of the supernatural; keeping them around might cause issues..."
"But I could go for a cat-girl! If it could transform, I'd have no problem keeping her!"
"Ah... I wasn't asking you to keep one. Just which image you prefer?"
"No need to keep them...? Then I'd want both!" Ise Yu Yuzhijin clenched a fist. "Virtual cat-petting and dog-petting are my ideal ways of interaction!"
