Danmaku, my skills refresh weekly.

She's young and has a nice butt. Most importantly, she's incredibly skilled, can transform into a cat, and looks extremely wealthy. As a professional assassin, she's acutely aware of her target's value.

What a perfect match (a handsome young man)!

Charles was speechless and quickly stepped forward: "I have urgent business to attend to."

"The cat will help too, meow! The cat has already agreed to give its body to you, meow, it can't go back on its word, meow." With that, Kroy pounced on her again.

Just as Charles was getting increasingly annoyed, a heavy thud sounded from around the corner ahead.

"Hehehe, young man, you smell so good... Hmm?" The cat, who was stroking the pert bottom, stopped. "Why aren't you resisting anymore?"

She turned her body to the side and followed Charles's gaze. At the alleyway ahead, a girl dressed in night clothes with short yellow hair lay on the ground, covered in blood.

"Wow~ Poor meow. I've been ravaged."

Charles then crouched down to examine the area.

"It's a penetrating wound. Like you, you must be an assassin. Does your merchant guild have any orders for attacking other clans?"

"The cat doesn't know meow."

Chloe, hands on her hips, said, "In this world, there are always some idiots who don't know their own limitations, who think they are invincible and can reach any ceiling."

"Are you talking about yourself?" Ciel retorted.

Ciel didn't know the girl's identity, but based on the catgirl beside her, he could guess seven or eight parts of it instantly.

Runova, formerly a tavern employee, is a human mercenary currently at level 4, codenamed "Black Fist".

Coincidentally, whenever the black cat is around, the girl in front of me always appears in another location, repeating her deeds.

Whether it's accepting unusual requests or wanting to retire, even the hotel they're staying at is right across the street.

Charles's expression was strange: "So this is your ill-fated relationship?"

"Meow?" Chloe looked puzzled. "Hmph~, ignore that woman, meow. Kid, let's go to the hotel, hee hee hee."

"Stop talking nonsense, take her and let's go." Charles flipped open the wounded man's eyelids and found that he was completely unconscious, giving an unquestionable order.

"Hey~~~, you prefer this kind of woman with no breasts and no butt to a sexy cat, meow?"

"If you want to follow, then listen to me."

"Hi~~Ee—"

……

Chapter 130 Take it off!

Chloe carried the unconscious girl on her back and followed behind Ciel, quickly approaching the direction of the church.

At this moment, the alleyway was brightly lit, and military police wearing Ganesha masks carried magic stone lamps, their figures darting about. They nervously whispered to each other, then quickly passed on information.

Charles stood at a distance, watching, and could hear Anya's loud, clear breath in the distance:

"This is my spoils, meow! Even my older brother can't take it from me!"

"Huh?" Allen roared, "You took down Dis by yourself! What a joke, you useless abandoned cat, you actually dare to show your fangs now?"

"Stop joking around. Get back to your den and groom yourself. Don't embarrass yourself in public."

"Meow! That's the truth, meow! Things change! Cats are super strong now! Even my older brother can beat meow!"

"Then give it a try, you bastard!"

The siblings' bickering seemed about to escalate into a full-blown fight.

Rivera, who arrived late, stopped Allen. She looked around and saw scorched earth, broken tiles, and bloodstains, all indicating that a fierce battle had just taken place here.

"You mean, you killed Vina all by yourself?" Riveria asked softly, not having seen Vina's body.

"Whoa! Meow and Lily, we all took down the bad guy together! The bounty is for the cats!" Anya exclaimed.

“You guys?” Rivera’s gaze shifted to the others hiding in the corner of the church.

An ordinary, timid little girl; a Palum girl who clearly appears to be a supporter; a strange... elf? No, wait, that's... a fairy?

Rivera saw the pendant on Marie's chest, which seemed to shimmer with a subtle magical aura.

"Okay, I understand. I will report to the guild."

With the help of the fairy spirit, there's a real chance that this former half-circle of Freya could kill the mentally unstable Vina.

She rubbed her ears, recalling the cat's meow that had tormented her hearing earlier. This was probably the enemy that every mage least wanted to face.

Allen scoffed, and only after Rivera left did he give Anya a cold, arrogant look:

"I don't care what you do with the corpse, just don't cause me any trouble! Useless trash, you should just stay quietly washing dishes in that tavern!"

Anya puffed out her cheeks, her face full of defiance: "What?! Cats will definitely become super strong, in three years! In three years, I'll have a duel with my brother!"

"You slowpoke, why are you still so persistent? Whether it takes three years or thirty years, it's impossible for you to surpass me!"

Allen suddenly lost interest. He had thought that only by expelling her from the clan could he save his life in this crazy era, but he didn't expect that it was just as unsafe outside.

and……

Looking at Anya, arms outstretched, hair standing on end, blocking the way behind the girls...

Have you found something that needs your protection?

……

Outside the alleyway.

As the crowd dispersed, the street returned to its desolate state.

Charles looked around for a while, and seeing that no one was around, he walked back to the church.

"Young man, who's that chattering cat over there? Are you trying to cheat on me?" Chloe squinted her eyes.

Charles was speechless: "Stupid cat, the premise for cheating is that you're already my girlfriend."

"Huh? Not a meow? I've clearly already got a meow's body?"

Pushing aside the basement partition, a white-haired little girl pounced on him.

"Ciel~~"

That's good, they can already call out to people.

He ruffled Tina's hair, handed the girl on Chloe's back to Lily, and then looked at the corpse on the ground and asked:

"what happened?"

"This woman attacked suddenly..." Cassandra briefly described the battle: "I dreamt about it, but nobody believes me."

“Next time something like this happens, notify me using ‘Eye Crystal.’ Don’t worry about Fels.” Charles pinched the girl’s cheek again and casually asked:

"Where is Chardo? Isn't he here?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen anyone these past two days."

Lily rested her chin on her hand. She felt largely responsible for the accident, and that things wouldn't have turned out this way if she had listened to Cassandra.

Ciel noticed Lily's self-blame, which was unavoidable, as the "Princess Who Praises a Tragic World" inherently possessed strange and unbelievable side effects.

To break through this barrier, one must choose not to believe in prophecy, but instead believe in Cassandra herself; in short...

"Make it a habit from now on: remember to follow orders. Do whatever the bishop tells you to do. Don't ask why, just obey orders."

Lily seemed to be deep in thought.

Charles examined the corpse: "I heard you and Anya defeated a level 5? How was it? Did you check the changes in your stats? Also, why are you keeping the corpse?"

“This… the Fairy Spirit has acted without permission.” Lily looked at Tina, who was holding the Fairy Spirit Orb, and said, “I can’t explain it clearly. You should see for yourself.”

Charles crouched down to examine the body.

The fatal wound was the spear piercing his chest, followed by the slashes from his left chest to his right ribs. Charles didn't see much blood flowing; instead, green vines stitched the torn flesh back together.

“This…?” Charles looked at the troublemaker. This feeling reminded him of the Thousand Hands… no, I mean the weirdo.

"Dad?"

With the baby's innocent eyes sparkling, Charles found it hard to imagine that a trace of the fallen fairy's instinct still remained within her.

Is this an attempt to cultivate its own henchmen? Seeing its companions become active? Can't stand the loneliness anymore?

……

The noise around him interrupted Charles's thoughts.

Charles turned around and was surprised to find Anya and Chloe face to face.

"Hey, who are you, cat? Why did you just come back with the boss, meow!"

"I'm your boss's spouse, so please call me Mistress from now on!"

"Huh? Impossible, meow! How could a cat like you possibly be worthy of the boss? You must be another shameless cat trying to spy on the boss's wisdom! Hey, don't you dare mess with the boss, meow!"

"You are! A boy's butt belongs to a cat, meow!"

"Come on! Let's duel, meow! Only those who defeat the cats are qualified to challenge the cat boss, meow!"

"Meow meow meow no lousy meow!"

The cramped basement was instantly filled with countless meows. Then, an orange cat and a black cat began to wrestle, tearing at each other's clothes and trying to pin each other down.

"This is... a cat's territorial instinct?" Charles didn't understand, but he was greatly shocked.

But this commotion was quickly quelled by an invisible, domineering aura.

"It's so noisy—"

Crisp footsteps and a cool voice came from outside the church, accompanied by high-frequency shockwaves that dispersed the wrestling catgirls.

A terrifying magical power erupted in the underground room, causing shelves and clutter to scatter. Roy opened her eyes in a disheveled state, only to be met with a cold gaze.

"Eek—what...what kind of monster is this, meow? One strike...no, I didn't even see it make a move, and it subdued meow? It's even scarier than those idiots in Freya?" Kroi instantly rolled over, showing her white belly in submission.

She didn't know anything about first-level adventurers or overlords, but the fact that this woman could easily kill her was undeniable.
