Extra Chapter - My First Dream[]
Upon entering first grade, Tama comes home to her mother saying she doesn't want to go to school anymore; Mrs. Nekonari worries about her daughter's safety but Tama reveals she doesn't want to study and rather be lazy.
A short while later at school, the teacher tells the entire class to write their dream for the future. When asked what job she wants, Tama's already depressed stating she doesn't want work and has no dreams until she looks outside and sees a cat cuddling up to an old woman and laying in her lap. Tama realizes that cats don't have to work or learn and starts writing her dream.
In the current period, Tama calls her mother telling her she quit her job; Mrs. Nekonari wonders if her daughter wants to move back in but Tama states she got a job now. Her mother actually feels shocked Tama got an actual job and wants to work as she continues she has friends she has fun with and wants to try harder for them, apologizing for making her mother worried. As the conversation ends, Mrs. Nekonari cries about how Tama finally found something inside herself to work as she looks over her first-grade assignment which reads:
Class 1-1 Tama Nekonari
Tama wants to be a cat. Cats don't have to work or learn. Cats just lay around.
While Mrs. Nekonari thinks her daughter is facing reality, Tama is laying in Rentarou's lap shocked at how elated her mother is at her current life.
