The Strongest Inuseful Prince
Chapter 21: Cat Girl
In the forest Ren faced off against a Blood Grizli, because the bear was weak against the fire element, Ren used the power of a Phoenix Fyn.
Swoooff. !
a fire arrow shot out and hit the bear's arm.
"Damn! my shot missed".Ren muttered with a kettle.
Gwarrr!!!
As the bear roared loudly in pain from being hit by the fire arrow.Since the bear was in pain and attacked blindly, Ren easily dodged his attack while counter-attacking using his fire arrow.
Eventually, the bear fell.
Sjsshh...!
...Tch....
Ren approached the girl slowly.
"Hey, are you okay?".Ren.
"...ak~I'm fine...".Reply the girl stammered.
"This girl.she's a slave..".Mumam Efil's.
"Eh? a slave?". Ren said in wonder.
"Yes, you can see she's wearing a slave necklace. Like he's running away". Efil.
"Is that true?".Ask Ren to the girl.
The girl became scared and did not answer Ren's question.
In Ren's conscious mind.
"Hey Viper, can you lift the slave's necklace?". Ask Ren.
"It looks like it could be master, the necklace used the element of darkness". Reply Viper.
"Then we'll take that necklace off". Ren.
...----------------...
Ren lowered his head and held the necklace around the girl's neck. Slowly, Ren's magic energy flows into the necklace to make it deactivated and released.
"Eh...? how could your majesty take that necklace off?". Ephil said with wonder.
"uh? I just drained my magic energy into the necklace, equalized the flow of magic and shut down the necklace system". Obviously Ren.
"Well, you're free now". Ren told the girl.
"A~Ak~aku be~free...?". Mumbled the girl.
"Yes". Reply to Ren gently.
However, suddenly there was the sound of an approaching horse carriage. Approaching was the carriage of a slave merchant, someone got off the carriage and approached slowly.
"I'm sorry, but did you see a slave passing by around here? he feels he's from the beastman catsith race". Said the slave trader.
...Hmmmm? oh, so this girl is a runaway slave well....
The merchant saw the cat girl, and realized that it was her slave. But he wondered why his necklace did not exist.
"Master, the cat girl over there is my loose slave. But, why isn't there a slave necklace?". The merchant said in surprise.
"Eh? ouh, that necklace. I let go of her". Reply Ren
"Whata!? you took it off!". The trader was shocked.
"Well, is something wrong?". Ren replied in surprise.
"Huh.., you know son, usually only the owner of the piece can remove the necklace. Now I have to re-install it again, huh...". Said the merchant.
Hearing this, the cat girl fled, because she did not want to return to being a slave. Seeing this, Ren tells Efil to arrest him.
"Hey, merchant". Ren.
"Yes, what's wrong, son?".
"You mean that girl?". The slave trader.
"Well...". Reply Ren.
The two of them also discussed the price of the cat girl. And after a long discussion, they both agreed on the price.
But the merchant gave a warning to Ren. Ren seriously listened to the warning along with suggestions in order to address the issues related to the warning.
Afterwards Ren leaves with Hana to pursue Ephil. The cat girl ran so fast that Efil had enough trouble catching her.
In the end they all arrived at the dock, the cat girl went to a warehouse that was not in use.
"Huft.., huh.., he just walked into that barn, didn't he..?". Ephil murmured with breath.
Efil enters the barn to catch the cat girl. However, upon entering the warehouse suddenly a wide variety of goods moved so quickly towards Efil.
Efil jumped to the side to avoid it. The moving items were thrown by the cat girl.
"Hey, relax. We're not trying to hurt you". Efil.
"...". The cat girl just kept quiet and pelted Efil with various items.
While avoiding Efil constantly persuaded the girl to calm down and stop throwing things.
"Whisper!, you're all just bad guys who like to torture!". Shouted the cat girl loudly and her face looked so angry.
Efil, hearing this, was shocked and silent for a moment.
"We're not bad people, and we won't torture you either". Efil.
"Lying!, everyone said so at first!". Shouted the girl.
Efil could no longer speak of seeing the face of the girl who was so angry and upset.
"Everyone, everyone.., you all only have a sweet mouth but a rotten heart!". Said the girl tightly.
Soon Ren and Hana arrive at the barn and see Efil standing still looking at the cat girl.
"What happened to Ephil?". Ask Ren.
"Eh?, Your honor. Nothing happened, it's just...". Answer Efil.
Ren's eyes and the cat girl's eyes were facing each other with a sharp gaze. At that moment, Ren understood the situation.
"Can you come down here little cat?". Ren said with a cynical look.
"Kuh.., I won't obey you!". Said the girl.
"Heee, even though I've bought you at a pretty high price". Ren.
"I don't care!". Said the girl.
"Huft.., I shouldn't have taken that necklace off". Ren muttered while sighing.
Ren walked slowly closer to the cat girl while avoiding the things that the girl threw. Until he got in front of the girl.
"Can you calm down?". Ren.
"What do you want to do to me!?". The girl said so cautiously.
"Let's know, maybe I'll make you a waitress in ru-". Ren.
But the cat girl jumped up and attacked Ren with her claws. The startled Ren managed to dodge it with a scratch on his left cheek.
"I've guessed it, you're the same as everyone else!". Said the girl with a sharp look.
...Looks like it will be a little difficult to tame it. I think he's been through a lot, so it's hard to trust anyone else....
"I don't know what you've been through in the past, but I'm not gonna hurt you". Ren said as he wiped the blood on his cheek.
