“Hmm ...” Yuki studied the Neko Sage Scroll, deep in thought, her hand supporting her own chin.

“Hmm ...” Katsuki emulated Yuki, scratching at her fuzzy chin, her kitten eyes studying the scroll with a comparable degree of dedication. They were both staring at the opened scroll before them, scrutinising, analysing every detail. So far, they were both at a loss. For understandable reasons. The scroll frustrated all of their efforts to decypher its contents.

“Hmm, do you know what these symbols mean, Katsuki?” Yuki gave up, turning to her feline companion for counsel.

I am the mistress of nyine lives,

Meow cuteness is my strength,

Meow cuteness is my sword,

Meow cuteness is my shield,

I will meow a thousand times each day,

I will purr a thousand times each day,

I will and will be pet over a thousand times each day,

I have withstood countless falls,

I have caught countless prey,

I have taken countless nyaps,

Yet mwoq tail stands tall,

Yet meow paws are raised high,

Yet meow heart stands strong,

Neko mode!!! Unleashed!!!”

...

...

...

Nothing. The incantation reverberated through the air, yet nothing happened. Absolutely nothing. Once again, she had made a fool out of herself for absolutely nothing to show for it. Excellent.

“Hmm, I guess that we need to try harder”, Katsuki mused.

“I guess so”, Yuki sighed.

Katsuki raised her paw. “That means that we have to train more! You nyeed to work harder to awaken your inner neko!”

“...” Yuki declined to reply. Katsuki was not exactly wrong, but it sounded like a lot of work. The path to the Neko sage mode was long. There were still many naps to take. Many treats to gobble. Much catnip to gather. Much yarn to play with.
