Tezuka was walking home from school. He was stressed and tired from practice because Inui killed everyone with his drinks again. The practice was shortened by about half an hour due to missing players.

While walking along the road, he noticed a Himalayan sitting beside a wall. The Himalayan looked around its environment. Tezuka bent one knee down on the ground and tried to call it. "Come here." The cat stared at him for a few seconds. Then it looked away. Tezuka tried to call it again, but still to no avail.

"This should work," Tezuka thought. He took out a cat toy. He swung his arm back like in tennis. Then, he came forward with the cat toy in it. "Tezuka Zone!"

The Himalayan started to walk toward the person holding a cat toy. "Mrow?" The legs seemed to move on its own! "Mroaw!" The cat didn't know how he was able to walk without thinking. When it came next to the person, it felt a hand petting him. "Mroaw." It enjoyed being pet by this person. "He isn't a scary person after all," the Himalayan thought.

"Karupin, where are you!" Ryoma was frustrated. He had just recovered from drinking Inui Juice. But then, he found out that his idiot father fought a fierce battle with Karupin and Karupin ran away from home. Ryoma had to find him.

Tezuka found himself very relaxed playing with the cat. He raised the cat toy higher.

"Mroaw" Karupin tried to grab the cat toy Tezuka was holding.

"Mrow!"

"Yudan sezu ni ikou!"

"Mroaaw!" Karupin leapt as high as he could and finally touched the cat toy.

Tezuka thought it looked very strong. "Neko-chan," he said to the cat, "become the pillar of cats." He raised the cat toy higher than the previous time.

"Mroaw!"

"Mrow!"

"Come on, I know you can do it," Tezuka kept thinking.

"Mrow"

"Almost there," he thought.

"Mroaaw!"

"Mroaw!"

"MROAAW!"

"BUCHOU, WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY CAT!"

End note: We have no idea why Tezuka carries a cat toy around with him.
