The next day, I did just as planned. I finished my errands early, brought the groceries back to the restaurant, and went to the alley. Arneau was already there with the kitten.

“I’m sorry, was I late?” I asked.

“No, I just arrived too,” he replied, but I saw the meat he was feeding to the kitten, and almost all of it was gone. He’d probably been here for a while and said that not to bother me. He always replied coldly, but I could tell how kind he was.

“I found an owner for the kitten.”

“I see.” He smiled.

“Oh!” I gasped, surprised by seeing him do so for the first time since I first met him.

“What?” He immediately went back to his usual annoyed face. Why is he like this?

“No, it’s nothing. Anyway, so, would you...?”

“Sure,” he replied, and then easily lured the kitten over with the meat and gently picked him up.

At first, the kitten twitched a little bit, but he went back to looking comfortable when Arneau started patting his head. No hissing or anything. If I tried to do the same, I was pretty sure he’d just scratch me and run away.

“There’s a garden near here, and the people living there have given me permission to put him there for the time being. Let’s go,” I said, guiding Arneau to a small house nearby.

The home belonged to the fruit shop owner who’d given me the apple on the previous day. Both he and his daughter were out, working or helping with the shop, but I’d gotten permission beforehand.

I stood in front of the bucket full of water and the bottle of shampoo that I’d prepared, rolled up my sleeves, and looked at Arneau.

“Let’s do it,” I said.

The kitten, probably understanding what was going to happen, started shaking.

“Please, Arneau...”

“Okay,” he said, slowly lowering the kitten into the bucket.

The cat, who’d probably never had a bath before in his life, was struggling to get away.

Arneau gently stroked his head, repeating, “It’s all right, it’s all right...”

The kitten was so filthy that I was worried that he’d get sick. I was planning to wash him clean with Arneau’s help, since the kitten was obviously very attached to him. I also thought that looking clean would help him find an owner sooner. Of course, we’d already found one, thanks to the fruit shop owner’s daughter, but I figured that it’d be better to wash him anyway.

“Okay, I’ll start,” I announced, grabbing the shampoo and walking closer to the kitten, who promptly started hissing at me.

He still didn’t like me that much. But he did eat the sausage I gave him... I sighed.

“Arneau, say... Do you think you could do it?” I suggested, thinking that it’d probably be better if he were the one to actually do the washing.

“...Okay.” He took the shampoo in one hand and slowly moved it toward the kitten, who looked scared but didn’t hiss.

He probably didn’t like the water but he could trust Arneau. The kitten obviously liked him a lot.
