Black’s Secret Morning Appointment
Yellow Cat Story 44 begins with Black looking unusually well prepared for an early morning outing. Her fur is neat, her expression is calm, and she seems far too cheerful for an ordinary walk.
When asked where she is going, Black gives a perfectly respectable answer:
Bible study.
Then she adds choir practice.
The explanation sounds innocent enough—until everyone remembers that her last Bible study lasted several days.
The Beautiful Voice Next Door
Black insists that the church guy has a beautiful voice and needs help practicing.
According to her, the mysterious sounds heard the night before were not suspicious at all. They were simply part of an intense musical lesson.
Yellow listens carefully.
He has used many creative excuses himself, but even he respects the ambition of turning strange nighttime noises into choir practice.
Black remains confident. Faith, music, and private lessons are all serious matters.
Apparently, they are also conducted very late.
Why Not Use the Front Door?
Black approaches the wall instead of walking toward the main entrance.
That creates one obvious question:
Why not use the front door?
Black explains that the church guy specifically asked her to enter through the back.
It is quieter, more private, and better for avoiding unnecessary attention. She even calls it:
“Our little secret.”
Yellow’s ears rise immediately.
Black has spent months investigating secret meetings, hidden routes, and suspicious late-night business. Now she is climbing a wall to attend a private choir lesson through a hidden entrance.
The balance of power has officially changed.
Bad for Business
Black adds that public attention would be bad for the church guy’s business.
The explanation is meant to sound practical, but it only creates more questions.
What kind of Bible study requires secrecy?
Why would choir practice damage business?
And why does a respectable church guy need a private back-door system?
Black refuses to answer. She is already halfway over the wall, confident that the matter is settled.
The Back Door Has Regular Traffic
Then comes the final detail.
Black casually mentions that she saw another lady using the same entrance yesterday.
She stops.
The wall suddenly feels much higher.
For a moment, Black had believed the back door was reserved especially for her—a private entrance for their very important lessons.
Now she realizes it may simply be the church guy’s standard visitor route.
The secret was not exclusive.
The door was not romantic.
And the traffic was apparently quite regular.
Black stares into the distance.
Yellow says nothing.
For once, he knows that silence is the most enjoyable answer.
