Case 84: Genetic question.

''But, you seem pretty calm after the whole ordeal earlier?'' I tilt my head, looking at cat grandma.

''I was panicking when I saw that monster earlier. But now it's over, someone took care of it already, it seems.''

That would be me. Do I get free coffee?

''You really are always calm, grandma, I'm jealous.'' Anna said.

''Live longer. You will be less impressed by everything eventually.''

*szzz*

''Is it always this quiet, grandma?'' I asked, sipping the hot coffee.

''Pretty much, only this silly girl and occasionally some other guests come here.''

''Why am I silly again...''

''Because you let your only girlfriend get on with other girls, of course.'' Grandma narrows her eyes.

Well, this is awkward.

''Oh come on. I said that we all agreed to it already.'' Anna whined.

''Even more so when they're futanaris while you're just a normal girl... If you're not careful, she'll really be snatched from you, you know?'' She turns to me this time.

I won't do that though.

''Ahahah...'' I laugh awkwardly, stroking the cat on my lap.

''Muh...'' Anna pouts, holding the cat on her lap in front of her face to hide.

*meow*

See? How could I abandon her when she's this cute?

''Just get a male genital. That'll solve everything.'' She said after a sigh. ''I can see that you are not a normal elf. You can get your hands on it. The potion, I mean.''

''Oh~ Intuition perhaps?''

''Yes, same as this girl's.''

''...Hers is a bit more general than mine.'' Anna puts down the cat.

''But what will you guys do about the child?'' Grandma asked.

''What do you mean?''

''It can't be both an elf and a cat-kin, no?''

'''' ... ''''

Shit, I didn't think of it.

So if I mate with Tina, we'll have half-elves as our children, that's for sure. I've seen halfs several times before. And obviously, my children with Liana and Emy will be high elves.

So then, what about mine with Anna... Will they have both cat ears and elf ears? Or either pair? Will they have tails or not?

I'm starting to wonder...

''I've not seen a child between an elf and a cat-kin before, so I'm quite curious.''

''Can't you use your intuition?'' I asked.

''I can, but it's vague. The only thing I can be sure about is that you'll have to watch from the sideline a lot, Anastasia.'' Grandma said, glaring at me.

...What the hell.

''Mhmm.'' I nod. ''But I think we need to leave now, my girlfriends are probably waiting for me.''

Both Anna and I put the cats down and stand up.

''Sure, and... I can tell that you are a good girl, but why do you shun Anastasia like that?'' She raises an eyebrow.

''I only follow her wish, grandma.'' I giggle, earning Anna a surprised stare from her.

''Wha- Why would you say that?!'' Anna blushes, then drills her head against my side.

I'm immune to that now, you know?

So I put some money on the counter, and wave grandma goodbye.

''How did you even find a place like this?'' I asked while we're flying back.

''Mhm... I smelled a lot of cats, so...''

Cats invite cats, huh. How curious.

''Here we go.''

We land at the front door of our residence.

'''' Welcome back, Your Holiness and my lady. ''''

''Good job.'' I wave at the two guards.

My title now has officially turned into 'Your Holiness', apparently that's higher than Your Highness, and even Your Majesty in some cases.

*clack*

''Took you long enough, huh?'' A familiar cutting board greeted us.

''Sorry, I went on a little date with her.'' I said, hiding behind Anna.

''Well, go inside first. Emilia prepared a lot of sweets for you.''

''I love Emy!!!''

Maybe I should actually have five children with her... I'll get lots of free dessert...!

''Ah, is Tina there?''

''She is.''

Oh well, I'll have to console Tina first. Her brother just died.

-----

''My condolences, Tina.'' I said, holding her hand.

''I don't really mind.'' She shrugged. ''I might sound cold-blooded here, but our imperial family was always like this. Siblings killing each other, sons killing fathers...''

That's rough.

''And it's not like I was close with him before. I hated him.'' She frowns.

''That's a relief.'' I smile.

''But if you really want to console me...'' She grins and immediately thrusts her hand into my skirt.

...This girl is getting bolder and bolder. Though it's not like she wasn't bold before or anything.

''Hey.'' Liana across the table called out angrily.

''Let her do it.'' I let out a giggle. ''Hm... Do you guys have any interest in dates?''
