Reincarnated as a Poor Little Green Tea, Am I Destined to Be Bullied? - Volume 1 Chapter 5

Chapter 5: Want to Know?

***

This unfortunate girl’s home, upon opening a drawer, actually had Meow Meow Snow Biscuits.

The little cat girl, wearing a black dress, sat on the edge of the bed, her two bare feet swinging like works of art, in harmony with the creaking sound of the bed frame. Judging from her blissful expression, she was thoroughly enjoying the taste of the snow biscuits. She said it was a delicacy that couldn’t be found in the heavenly realm.

Your heavenly realm must be quite lacking in resources, huh…?

Lin Yueye picked up the snow biscuit packaging she had left on the table and took a glance.

Hey, it’s already 3 months past the expiration date.

Well… let’s not tell her about that. She doesn’t know what expiration means anyway, it’d be a waste of breath.

Having clothes to wear and snow biscuits to eat, she could be considered free from worries about food and clothing. So, it’s time to talk about some serious matters, right?

After a brief exchange, Lin Yueye roughly understood the reason why this trashy deity was sent down.

— She was caught slacking off at work by her superior.

She said she wanted Lin Yueye to reincarnate into this body to find happiness, to stage a beautiful comeback from a miserable life, which could greatly increase her divine achievements and boost her status among the gods from a rookie to someone with respect. That wasn’t wrong.

But if they were to follow the rules of the gods guiding souls to reincarnate, this choice should have been in Lin Yueye’s hands.

In other words, if she didn’t dare to take risks and wanted to give up all memories to reincarnate into an ordinary life, that would have been reasonable too.

But…

The result is as it is now.

“Uu… I was greedy, I have sinned.”

“Frankly speaking, you’re really something!” Lin Yueye was concise, her finger poking the cat girl’s forehead, hitting the nail on the head.

“Wuwu, thank you for the compliment… but haven’t I paid the price? The previous senior had just left her position, and I took over her work. It hasn’t been long, and I’m unemployed again. Do you know how much damage this does to a newly appointed deity…!”

Lin Yueye wasn’t sure how much damage it was.

But she was curious about this one’s work attitude, and how many people she had already harmed?

When Lin Yueye asked this question, the little cat girl probably felt like she was being looked down upon. She counted on her fingers, holding up two fingers — as if making a “peace” sign.

“Two hundred people already?” Little Yueye was speechless, and could only feel sorry for those victims, “It’s good that you came down earlier. With that mouth of yours, even the dead would be angered to die twice more.”

“Huh? What two hundred people? I mean, I’ve already guided two people to the afterlife. You, and the original 【Lin Yueye】, um… that’s two people, right? I’m not very good at math, let me count again.”

“……”

Just started the job and already unemployed, huh!

Stop counting back and forth on your two fingers! Is this just being bad at math? Aren’t you ashamed as a deity!

“But… but don’t worry!”

The little cat girl leaned close to Lin Yueye, so fast that her hard forehead almost collided directly with Yueye’s skull.

“The Mother Goddess said I can make up for my mistakes! Her exact words were ‘Since you coveted this momentary achievement, go down and help her achieve the life she wants. If you can do it, you can come back; if not, just stay down there.'”

Lin Yueye covered her face, speechless, her beautiful little face full of worry.

Although she could feel that this cat girl deity indeed had the enthusiastic idea of “making up for her mistakes.”

But the problem is… is this reliable?

For example, she had just eaten the family’s only Meow Meow Snow Biscuit, is this making up for mistakes?!

“Here, human, want some?”

Hm?

“You’re not completely beyond… are you serious?”

“I can’t eat that much either, don’t be shy. From now on, we’re on the same boat.”

That’s called being in the same boat, what you said didn’t even mention a boat, nor a rope.

Mainly, you’re only offering a single snowflake from the biscuit!

Are you measuring my stomach by a cat’s appetite?

Lin Yueye wasn’t picky.

She took that bit of snow biscuit and threw it into her mouth. Even though it was expired food, the sweet taste stimulating her body after reincarnation made her eyes light up, as if rediscovering the state of being alive in this world.

“It tastes pretty good… hey, cat.”

“Hm?”

“Don’t you have a name? I give up, you actually hid another piece.”

I was wondering how you could bear to share a bit with me, turns out you had another bag of expired snow biscuits hidden in the blanket.

The cat girl, while biting and tearing open the snow biscuit, pondered Lin Yueye’s question.

“Name? How could deities have names? Um… I heard that some deities were recently named by humans. It’s really laughable, how could a dignified deity allow humans to name them? I wouldn’t envy such a thing. A deity is a deity, being as vague as clouds is enough. What’s the use of having a name? Even if someone said they wanted to give me a name, I would definitely refuse!”

“I see, then let’s just keep calling you weirdo cat.”

“Even if given a name… I would definitely refuse!”

“……”

Suddenly so close!

You’ve already pressed your face against mine…

They say when you desire too much, when you envy others, the emotions will be written on your face.

Then, what kind of expression is directly pressing your face against someone?

Lin Yueye pushed against her shoulders to make her sit back down.

Tentatively, her gaze returned to normal, directly meeting the little cat girl’s hard-to-read eyes.

There was no need for the cat girl to hint, Lin Yueye’s emotional intelligence was actually quite high.

“So… you want me to give you a name?”

“No.” The little cat girl tilted her head to the side, her throat making a gurgling sound as if hinting at something.

Hah…

To be honest, this scene suddenly made Lin Yueye’s tense heart relax a lot.

Faced with so many unknowns and an unclear path ahead, Lin Yueye didn’t know how to proceed, nor how to ask.

But when a deity shows human-like emotions, it becomes a regulator that gradually eases the taut string.

A relaxed smile, which hadn’t appeared on her face since her reincarnation, gradually bloomed on Lin Yueye’s face.

Like the faint moon on a serene night, hazy and indistinct — yet enough to make countless poets stop to recite and raise their wine in praise.

The little cat girl’s gaze was inadvertently drawn in, her starry eyes also lighting up with a spark.

“So pretty…”

“What did you say?”

“Uh?” The little cat girl came back to her senses, took a couple of bites of the snow biscuit, crunchy, “Nothing, just thinking that your appearance, when you smile, is really quite beautiful? It’s truly captivating, the Mother Goddess was right to warn about this!”

Huh? The Mother Goddess said such things?!

Of course, the Mother Goddess said that some people, after becoming too beautiful, when they smile, it can easily make people, even deities, waver, so we must be extra careful.

But… is it really just because of appearance?

The cat girl felt a bit confused because at that moment, in her eyes, she seemed to see a soft light of the soul, releasing some kind of kindness towards her. It felt like being amidst layered clouds, soft and fluffy, with an exceptionally comfortable mood. Even on unfamiliar ground, there was a sense of security similar to being in heaven.

Before she could finish her reminiscence in her mind.

Lin Yueye’s voice, after she stood up and thought for a while, entered the little cat girl’s mind.

“Hey, since we’re going to live together from now on, we should have a name. Let me think… from now on, you’ll be called 【Yuebing】! How about that?”

“Huh?! Who allowed you to name a deity! You’re simply…! Simply… Yuebing…? Yuebing… it sounds nice.”

“Sounds nice…?”

Ahem, to say it sounds nice, Lin Yueye thought it was just so-so.

Mooncake as a food is quite sweet and tasty.

But as a person’s name, doesn’t it seem a bit perfunctory?

But the problem is she’s a cat, or a deity, but not a person anyway!

Lin Yueye thought, since her current name has the character “Moon” in it, and the little cat girl will be by her side in the future, having a “Moon” character would make it more consistent?

Plus, seeing her holding the Meow Meow Snow Biscuit, the inspiration for the latter part came from that.

However… even if named like this, this cat girl deity probably wouldn’t be too happy about it, right?

But when Lin Yueye was about to think again and looked up to observe her.

She found that the little cat girl was looking at the snow biscuit cradled in her hands, her mouth slightly open with snow flakes on the corners, her feet stopped swinging, and as she kept repeating this name in a low voice, the light in her eyes grew increasingly bright.

“Yuebing… Yuebing… Yuebing! This is the name! Hahaha! Human, you’re quite good at naming! I’m very satisfied!”

“Eh?”

Satis… satisfied? Why?

It’s hard to fathom the thoughts of a little kitten.

Yuebing kept nodding, her cat ears rapidly moving, the fluffy cat tail behind her spinning like a windmill. Since they met until now, this was the first time Lin Yueye had seen her so happy.

“Mm! From now on, I’ll be called Yuebing! Now that I have a name, you can’t call me weirdo cat anymore, okay?”

“I don’t really mind…”

“Then! Call me once!”

“Ah? Well… Yuebing?”

“Yes! I’m here, I’m here~ Hehehe… Yuebing, it’s so nice.”

“……”

Yuebing hugged the snow biscuit and spun in circles on the bed, happy beyond words.

You know what.

If she wasn’t so trashy and acted more normal, she might actually be quite cute?

Thinking this, Yuebing once again offered the snowy remnants of the eaten biscuit.

This time, it seemed a bit more than before.

But it was still pitifully little, even a shrimp would be bigger than this.

“As a thank you, please eat.”

“I give up, can’t you break off a bit more?”

Take back what I said, this one is indeed not cute at all!

Yuebing, in high spirits, sat back on the bed.

But.

Lin Yueye noticed that Yuebing’s expression was becoming serious at a visible speed.

Unlike her casual demeanor before, a completely different aura suddenly appeared.

“Let’s put my matters aside for now… As for you, Lin Yueye, don’t you want to know about 【Lin Yueye】, no… now we should say, about yourself?”

Lin Yueye swallowed and slowly nodded.

That’s right… of course I want to know.

These things concern my own future, even the direction of this life.

But Yuebing.

You look very reliable when you’re serious, I have to admit that.

But the way you’re being serious while sneakily pulling out a third hidden snow biscuit from under the bedding really shows your true colors.
