The Seven World Of Fantasy

Chapter 13: Nekomimi!

Cat girl, cat girl♪

Her ears are soft bangeett!

"Stop! It!"

"Hehehe... You won't be able to escape me..."

"Him!"

I grabbed the cat girl and held her with both hands. Because I could not run anywhere anymore, I was free to play her soft ears.

Her hair was long blue, and her eyes were the same color. It's really similar to what I see in anime.

"Mmmm-moo, please stop! I-I. I can no longer. Nyaaaa!"

"Wow, Riel. Apparently you really like half-animal humans. I'm pretty surprised to know that." Comments on Uncle Reinald.

"I can't stand to see something funny." My answer. I do like the funny ones, but I don't have the weird fetish, huh. Watch outyou.

We are now around the village gate. The bodies of the bandits we had defeated were being taken care of by the villagers as well as the hunters. The women and children hiding inside the house have been out since we were known to have defeated the bandits.

Some village children approached us, they were interested in the cat girl I managed to catch.

Hehe, now I am the bandit. How happy I am to find one of the most important elements in a fantasy world. Nekomimi! They're like soft dolls that move and I can hug.

***

After the crime scene was cleared, the villagers returned to their respective activities and were urged to remain vigilant for the next few days. I carried the cat girl in my arms like a doll during the trip. His body is very light.

I, along with the hunters and a cat, returned to the barn to discuss the situation that had just occurred. The appearance of bandits around the village was very rare. Moreover, their goal was not to rob this village, but to chase after someone they wanted to capture.

We gathered in the main hall of the hunter's building, with a large table in the middle.

I let go of the girl, then she ran and hid behind Uncle Reinald.

"Hee, why are you so scared of me?" I said disappointedly.

"Finally, brother is creepy." Answer very cute. Aaakkhh, I want to eat it!

"Haha! You're as excited as ever, Riel. But let this cat girl rest first, she must be exhausted." Uncle Reinald separated us, then he told us all to sit down.

The seats available on the premises were apparently not enough for the cat girl. After dinner, some excess equipment will be stored in the warehouse again. So, instead of wasting time taking it...

I caught the cat again. "Him!" Then sit her on my lap just like before. But this time my hand didn't lock it, and he didn't try to run away from me either.

Has he resigned? Would he accept if I indulge him again? No, hold your breath, Riel. This is a meeting room that requires you to be serious. I'm not a kid who doesn't know a place.

"alright. First of all, may we know your name first, little girl? So we can talk more familiar with you." Uncle Reinald opened this conversation.

The cat girl I was holding still looked timid to answer. It seems more appropriate to say afraid. If I was chased by bad guys without being able to put up a fight, I would definitely be in his position as well.

"Yes, mo... Monica Morin's. I used to be called Momo"

Momo's? Kyaaa, her name is cute bangeeett!!

"Momo, can you tell me what happened to you with those bandits?"

"I was pursued by the bandits because I ran away from them."

"Hmm? So, before they caught you, and then you ran away from them?" Uncle Reinald again asked a question. Isn't that not too good, uncle?

"Yes. They attacked my village and captured all my friends to serve as slaves. My friends helped me to escape and seek help, because only I could use magic." Answer Momo.

That's her! This cat girl could use a very powerful magic.

From the game I've played, Lighting Spear is not a basic lightning element magic. It was the evolution of the Lightning Arrow, and Lightning Bolt. In short, it was a third-rate magic. When I was a Class Mage, I had never reached the realm of that magic level.

"I'm pretty amazed you can use such powerful magic. Where'd you learn that?"

"There was a wanderer who came to visit our village, then quickly mingled with our race." Momo begins her story.

"He taught some kind of self-defense and magic to the residents, to take care of themselves and the family. But few can follow his training." Momo said it all as if she had never been chased by bandits..

It's freaky. Supposedly if someone was in that position, that person would still be terrified and unable to think clearly.

"Mmm, uncle. Wouldn't we rather not give him too many questions?" I tried to tell him that.

"Ah, right! Sorry, yes. I'm not used to this kind of situation. We are hunters." The answer.

As I thought.

"It's okay, really. The traveler taught us to always be ready for all situations. But I'm still worried about my friends."

Oh, poor Momo. His face looked sad even though his expression was flat. I'm sure he's a low-expression character, but it can be brought up if I can find a lighter. Hehe.

"Then, my uncles, do you want to help us?"

"Hmm?"

Momo suddenly asks the hunters for help. He wanted us to help save his friends who were captured by the bandits, even though I was not included in the 'uncle' guys'.

"I beg. My friends were captured by the bandits, and they were locked up in a camp on the other side of the forest. If it's too late by tomorrow, those bandits will be taking my friends to their base."

Uncle Reinald thought about it with a hammer. I can see the faces of the other hunters if they really object.

From the fight I could feel it. The hunters could only hold one bandit each, and it took a long time to subvert them. Whereas I only need to take out a few bullets and subvert several bandits at once.

Then Momo can also subvert a bandit in one attack. If he used a large-scale magic attack, then dozens of bandits could be overcome at once.

"Sorry, but we can't do it." Uncle Reinald finally replied.

"Ke-"

This time Uncle Reinald set his sights on me.

"Riel, the true number of bandits if they gather in one place, can reach dozens of people." Uncle explained the reason to me

"Honestly, we have no experience in dealing with bandits. Especially if it is directly at their gathering point. We're just hunters from the village." Further.

Also true. The headquarters of the bandits must have contained very many of them. Coming there is like suicide.

"But what if we make a request to adventurers? They'll definitely be intent on helping save Momo's friends." I try to express what is on my mind.

"Did you remember, why did you take this C rank hunting request?" Uncle Reinald replied with another question.

Wh why? I can't understand it.

"That's because they won't accept requests with low rewards. Try to pay close attention to every request displayed in your guild. All that remains are troublesome low-paying requests, while high-paying ones have already been taken by other adventurers."

I just realized that. Every request I see on the notice board is a residual request with very little reward. Is that the price of an adventurer? though as far as I'm concerned adventurers take requests as well because they like to help people.

They will go take the request if they find the appropriate amount of the reward, then after that they will rest first for a few days before taking the next request. They don't care about low-reward requests.

It was only fitting that Shin became sick when we returned from Juna Village. Previously we continued to go into the dungeon without resting even for a day, and immediately took a heavy request from the village.

Our age cannot be counted as adults and strong to work every day. Even adults need a holiday. Energy and mind also need rest.

"Oh, yes. What about the knights? They're gonna do their job to protect their people, aren't they?" I said one more idea.

"Huh, fuck those knights." Replied Uncle Reinald with a ketus.

"wait. What do you mean, uncle?"

"Riel, I'll tell you one thing that you still don't know." Uncle Reinald confirmed his sitting position before returning to speak.

"The knights will only carry out orders from their superiors. Protect the country from attacks and maintain the peace of the people in the city. What's out of town, beyond their responsibility. Except the nobles."

"No way,"

"If you want them to keep doing it, then you should talk to the leader. They would make up reports of the bandit assault, then deploy their troops. It wouldn't have happened if there wasn't money."

Money, money, money. Why should money be everywhere!?

"But, isn't uncle's son also a knight?"

"Yes, but only novice knights in Ciatar City. He doesn't have anything to talk to the boss."

It hard.

The world is really difficult, but in order to help its own people.

From what I know, the village where Momo lived was indeed within the kingdom's territory, but it was never considered. Since their race chose to seclude themselves, neither would the kingdom interfere.

Logical, but not. I don't know what his words are. A good man will not look at anyone he needs to save. As long as he needed help, that person would definitely extend his hand.

Momo looked even sadder as her request was rejected outright.

I really don't know what to do now.

The group disbanded, the hunters returned to their homes.

Momo and I are welcome to rest in one of the empty rooms in the hunter's building. On the second floor there were unused rooms that were enough for both of us. We were also given lunch by Uncle Reinald's wife, and Momo ate it very greedily.

The griffon meat we got yesterday was quite plentiful and had been distributed to the rest of the villagers. The meat we ate now was the smoked meat that had just been made earlier this morning. Intentionally smoked so that it can be stored for several days.

Momo ate her food very quickly. After that he leaned his body on the chair because of the satiety. He knows what meat is not. "Haa. Thanks for the food."

My heart was broken by what happened to this girl. I felt very anxious to help him, but hearing the number of bandits inside the base made me worry. My level and attributes are not enough to carry out large-scale attacks.

After I finished the meal, I had a chance to talk to Momo in a moment.

"Hey Momo, don't you want to take a shower?" My toot.

"Hmm, shower?"

"Yes. Your body must have been dirty after a few moments. You can also feel better after taking a shower."

"No, I don't like to take a shower."

...

Hmm. interesting.

"If you don't shower, I won't stroke you anymore." I said it was like a whisper, and also complete with a thin grin.

"Hii. Then I'll never take a shower." Momo flinched slightly and covered both her ears with her hands. His tail was also wrapped around his body so as not to move anywhere.

"Yes, I knew you'd say that. But, I'm the one who's gonna bathe you..."

"Yahoo-jangaannnnyaaa!!!"

Jburs! Jburs!

"Stop! It's cold!"

Ahh, it turns out that it is more difficult to bathe this big cat than a smaller real cat. Although I used a wooden bathtub with warm water, but this cat still rebelled. He also said that the warm water was cold.

Jburs! Jburs!

Ahh, it's nice to take a bath with the cat girl. Oh, I just remembered. I got a new skill without realizing it. I'll check it on the status screen. Meanwhile, kyuun~

"Yesoo!!"
