Chapter 02 Title: Asking Yako-san.

PAGE 02

Norie: -----So,
>I don't really understand about the "nekomata" part.

Norie: But she's a really nice kid.
>So if it's all right with you...

Norie: I was thinking maybe she could have a spare room....?

Tama: Yako?

>lil txt: Wait one second.

Norie: Yes.
>This is the landlady.

PAGE 03

Yako: A nice nekomata...

Yako: However,
>you know I don't lend rooms to the unemployed!

>lil txt: uhyaaaa~~

Tama: Hey, hey.
>What is "unemployed?

Yako: The aforementioned nekomata!

Norie: ...it seems that way.

>lil txt: Being poor sucks.

PAGE 04

Yako: So, you are this nekomata then?

Tama: I'm tama, the nekomata!

Yako: ....hmph.

Yako: The quality of nekomata's lately has really declined.

PAGE 05

Tama: Gyanyaa~~~

Norie: Wait...
>Wait a minute!

>lil txt: You can't do something foolish like scratching her now.

Yako: It's time for tea.

Yako: I suppose you two can join me.

PAGE 06

Yako: ----Temporarily.
>I'll overlook her unemployment status this time.

Yako: I guess I can lend her a room.

Yako: Currently, there are two available rooms here at nekomachisou.
t/n: The name of the apartments

PAGE 07

Yako: Unfortunately the roof over both of them leak, though.

>lil txt next to him: Isn't there a room missing?

>lil txt next to her: Try not to think so much.
t/n: Wrong. Guess. Can't find the kanji. Help would be welcome.

Yako: It's certainly been rare for new tenants to--

Norie: ...surely because of how old the building is.

>lil txt: hahaha...

Yako: Worn-out....crumbling is it?

PAGE 08

Yako: Anyway, the building is over 100 years old you know.

>lil txt: By the way, this building was made the year of the Tunguska explosion.

Yako: Even now, it's a splendidly "old" apartment.

Norie: I...

Norie: I just "love" living here at nekomachisou!

>lil txt: ....the Tunguska what?

Norie: Yako-san.

Norie: Is it really not possible...
>to allow Tama to stay with me in my room?

PAGE 09

Yako: Aren't you being a little too kind to a nekomata?

>lil txt: Rea~~~~ch

Norie: Well....considering the circumstances.
>I thought it might be fate?

>lil txt: Don't spill it, now.

Yako: .....guess it can't be helped.

PAGE 10

Yako:Well, this time,
>I suppose I could give you permission under the "allowable pets" clause.

Norie: So that means---

Norie: This is great, isn't it Tama?
>....Tama?

Tama: Tama is not a pet-nyaaaa~~~!!

>lil txt: Just calm down...

Yako: Since that's been decided.

Yako: I have a little task I'd like Tama to help me with.

>lil txt: Just a little something, not too big.

PAGE 11

Yako: A littler more to the north.

Norie: More north~~

Yako: Lately, the reception has been total crap on this thing.
>Conveniently a handy little person has shown up.

Tama: What is "north"?

Page 12

Norie: How can we show her which way north is?

>lil txt: Counterclockwise to ten o'clock......

Yako: ....like this!

Norie: ...like this!

Yako: Oh and.
>About this month's rent.

Yako: I guess I can wait a little while until you land your next job.

>lil txt: This month has been harsh for you right?

Norie: ...thank you so much.

>lil txt: It's been hellish out there...

PAGE 13

Norie: In order to pay you soon,
>I'll definitely give it my all!

Norie: Tama~~~ Don't play up on the roof~~~

Norie: Oh by the way, Yako-san.
>You didn't seem that surprised at all when you saw Tama huh?

Tama: Ooh? x2

PAGE 14

Yako: This neighbohood is known as "cat rest hill."

Yako: Since ancient times, there has always been religions praising divine cat gods in this area.

Yako: Most likely,
>Tama heard of that from somewhere.

Norie: You mean you've met some before?

>lil txt: Nekomata's other than Tama....

PAGE 15

Yako: I've only heard about it.

Tama: Ooh?

Tama: ....Oh?

Tama: Hooh!

SFX: Ba-kin!

Norie: Ah....

PAGE 16

Yako: ....You know,
>I'm going to add that to this month's rent.

>lil txt: Well...good luck.

>txt on right: By the way, the Tunguska explosion took place in 1908.
