Léon: The Cat Killer

Seeing the glares exchanged by everyone, conveying an atmosphere of 'You all go first, I'm staying today,' ACE sighed:

"Alright, alright, there's plenty of time in the future... everyone disperse."

PS: After thinking about it... I restructured the plot... I originally planned to write about the kitten's three years of study from her perspective... but if I don't want the plot to be so thin that it's just a school drama about going to and from class every day, then the Kazdel War arc will inevitably begin.

There are many plot holes in this part, especially the deaths of the Doctor and Theresa... Kal'tsit will definitely not let Nana get involved in Kazdel's affairs, so if the Kitten arc is not handled well, it will become a child's willful behavior... This does not fit the current situation of the kitten starting to learn to behave.

So let's start the third volume of our world... You can figure out the title yourself... As for the content, it's probably about the various things that happened when Rhodes Island first opened.

PS2: Meow Meow Cat

↓The cockroach will probably appear soon.

3rd This land: 064 Status of preparation

What happened next?

"...I see. With Matilda's help, District Four has been successfully activated?"

Listening to Nana's gentle praise, the little white cat, having put down its backpack-sized spellcasting unit, tilted its head back contentedly, hands on its hips, its tail pushing up its skirt and even causing its trench coat to billow out.

"Hmm~ First, I escorted Amiya and that strange older sister to the company's base, then I helped the citizens carry their luggage, and later I even blocked the falling rocks for everyone, cleaved through roadblocks, and activated the house-sized Originium adder... I did all of that! Nana-neechan, praise me!"

"Ah... no wonder it's called 'Rosemary'..."

Hearing Nana's voice, still incredibly hoarse after a day, the kitten happily floated to Nana's side... Children like to rub their faces together to express affection, and feeling the kitten's hair, which had returned to shoulder length, Nana had a sense of déjà vu, as if she were seeing Kate.

...After all, Kate also followed suit and shouted from Nana's other side, "Sticking! I want to stick together too!"

Feeling the furry texture on both sides, Nana showed a comfortable expression as Cole pulled Kate out... Come on, your sister is growing up, do you want to grow up in reverse?

Just as Mrs. Cole was holding her eldest daughter by the scruff of her neck like a kitten, Rosemary, watching her mother and sister interact, covered her mouth and giggled. Then, suddenly remembering something, she darted out of Nana's arms again.

"Ah, speaking of which, Ms. Kal'tsit said today that I have to take a test..."

"Academic exams?"

"No, it's the operator promotion exam... Nana, do you want to come and watch? Rosemary will become a full-fledged operator before Nana."

Seeing the kitten's expectant expression, Nana also looked at Aya beside her with the same anticipation... This made the Ursus girl, who was writing furiously on "Kal'tsit's Topics in Trauma Surgery," look troubled.

"...Medic, you're also from the medical department. Would you send a patient who is basically unable to take care of himself to such a dangerous place as the training ground?"

Just as Aya was sighing, Rosemary solemnly raised one finger:

"No, that's not right. I told Aya-neechan before that Mom and my sister take care of Nana... She's not incapable of taking care of herself." (Qi)

"...Isn't that your magic, Little Cat?"

"It's really not like that. If you don't believe me, I'll walk away now, and Nana-neechan will still have someone taking care of her!"

As she spoke, the kitten took out her terminal and checked the time: Mio

"I need to get my gear ready too... Nana... Mom and my sister really need to convince Aya-neechan to come watch my exam!"

Watching the kitten snatch the backpack, and with a slight tremor from the exposed transparent box containing the spellcasting unit, the kitten excitedly gave Nana a paw-shaking gesture. Then, the water cups around Nana floated up, and the blue kettle automatically started. Nine

Faced with this scene that resembled a spectral attack, Aya looked speechlessly at Nana: fin

"...Senior, you've worked hard... Um, the kitten has left, you no longer need to cooperate with her in using magic... You should rest more."

"Ah, thank you... but this is not my spell..."

She took the hot water Cole poured for her with embarrassment, while Kate hummed a song as she took away the leftover food container that the kitten had left on the bedside table.

The undead, who were used to walking on the ceiling rather than the ground, leisurely helped Nana prepare for taking her medicine at noon, while Aya had been thinking since yesterday that Nana was putting on an act for the kitten.

"...Actually, Senior Warfarin also mentioned that the kitten's 'family' might be a special situation resulting from the combined effect of your multiple personalities that emerged during that accident and your own multiple spellcasting abilities...Do you have a feeling of your spells going out of control?"

"No, of course... I don't believe they are things I 'imagined'..."

With Cole's help, Nana took a sip of water before continuing:

"Because they know things I don't, including a lot of the kittens' private matters... I think that's enough to prove that they were indeed 'soul-binding' by my magic rather than having a mental illness."

"...But in the past, it seemed that the 'family' only appeared around the Rosemary operator?"

Looking at the first few pages of Nana's medical record, Aya seemed to have been persuaded by Nana as well.

Seeing that Cole hadn't disappeared even after the kittens left, and Kate seemed to be able to move freely within her sight, Nana slowly reached out and touched her left eye:

"Yes, but even now that the kittens are away, they still retain the ability to interfere with the outside world... I have a guess..."

[It must be Kate's eyes...]

Because of our shared bloodline, Nana, you've replaced Mia's "seeing" with the act of "gazing"... I just don't know if our current actions are consuming your magical abilities or using the little one's Originium Arts...

Want to try it? Nana, cover your left eye?

Hearing Kate's eager voice, Cole, with Nana's nod of approval, put the dangerous kettle and cup back in a safe place. Then Kate picked up a bunny doll... This was a gift that Amiya had brought over last night while Nana was asleep.

I don't know if it's for Nana or for the kitten.

Aya silently watched as Nana muttered to herself like a madwoman, then a rabbit doll suddenly started dancing the samba and bowed its head to her...

"It's Kate thanking you for taking care of the kitten... Well, I'm going to cover my left eye now, okay?"

Seeing Nana cover her left eye as if checking her eyesight, Aya turned to look at the rabbit doll... The doll, which had just seemed to be jumping around quite well, suddenly lost its strength and collapsed to the ground.

In Nana's eyes, although her left eye was covered, Cole and Kate had not disappeared... Kate, who had just been happily playing with the doll, looked at the doll that had suddenly pierced through her finger and fallen to the ground and felt a little disappointed.

"Hmm... I can still see it, but I can't touch it anymore?"

"...What if we only use the left eye?"

Hearing Aya's question, Nana closed her right eye. Kate then picked up the doll, smiled again, and waved to Aya with the doll.

"Aside from providing support to 'family members' to access the outside world, there doesn't seem to be anything strange about it."

"...Okay, I've got it. I'll ask Kal'tsit to make the judgment later..."

Scratching her head in bewilderment, Aya put away the medical record book, then turned around and saw Nana's incredibly expectant eyes, causing her to involuntarily shrink back:

"Um...senpai?"

"So, can we go watch the kitten's assessment?"

Seeing Aya's resistant expression, which seemed to say, "You better listen to the doctor's orders," Nana awkwardly clasped her hands together in an apologetic gesture.

"...After all, this ship has been outfitted for three whole years and is now complete...I'd really like to see it all."

"No, Kal'tsit-sensei will kill me..."

"But that's a promotion exam... Considering the kitten's age, it's practically a graduation exam for junior high... I don't care about myself, but is it really okay for Cole to miss his youngest daughter's graduation exam?"

Seeing Nana using a dead person to pressure him, Aya's expression was somewhat broken. Even Cole himself couldn't stand it anymore... It was clearly Nana who wanted to go, why drag him into it?

Taking advantage of his newfound freedom of movement, Cole opened the drawer and took out what appeared to be a writing board used by the kitten for practicing writing:

[I'm fine, Dr. Aya, please don't spoil her too much... and Nana, please don't spoil Mia too much either.]

"Cole! How could you betray us..."

[Yes, yes, Mom, didn't you really want to watch Mia's assessment either?]

Watching her patients, her internship supervisor, and her department head arguing with "her" handwriting tablet and another notebook, Aya remained expressionless, her mood mirroring that of someone who had just taken her pharmacology exam...

There's a kind of knowledge from books that gets to know each other; they chat and joke around you, but you don't know who's who, and you just find them noisy...

Seeing that her intern looked completely blank and had given up thinking, Nana immediately pointed to the wheelchair in the room:

"...After all, I'm only weak as of today, not a wounded soldier. The fact that Kal'tsit has a wheelchair in my room means that I can actually move around, right?"

"...Indeed, we did not prohibit you from moving around...but Senior Medic, your rehabilitation plan is still a month away...plus, you only just regained your ability to drink water today...and you haven't even started consuming liquid food yet. I actually think that just the fact that you can get so emotionally agitated is already affecting your condition."

"After all, three years have passed... Just thinking about how much I've missed in those three years is already torturous enough."

"...Professor Kal'tsit has granted me the authority to manage your department... Would you like me to explain the progress of the Human Resources Department's tasks over the past three years?"

"No, I want to see the kittens."

Seeing Nana's soft yet determined expression, Aya sighed and took out Nana's medical record book once more:

"Then, please at least allow me to record your current vital signs..."

……

……

……

Normally, Nana gives people wheelchairs... Although she has used a wheelchair for disguise before, this is the first time she has actually moved around in a wheelchair.

Taking care of someone is usually a troublesome thing, but fortunately, as the cat said, Nana is not alone with Aya... With the help of Cole and Kate, Nana is able to change clothes and get in and out of her wheelchair with ease.

The only problem might be that Nana's Rhodes Island uniform has become quite loose due to her long-term sleep... Nana herself is very dissatisfied with the days when she even needs help to get out of bed... She feels that her conditioning and rehabilitation may need to start earlier.

But let's put those things aside for now. Today is the big day for Kitten's exam. Although Nana has calmed down a lot, Cole and Kate, who are emotionally connected with Nana, know that... Nana seems to be even more nervous than Kitten herself, which makes Cole feel both sad and amused.

"...Oh, this is still the fourth floor of the medical inpatient ward..."

Pushing Nana's wheelchair and listening to her sighs, Aya tilted her head:

"It seems that you boarded the ship three years ago when headquarters made an emergency voyage... At that time, I heard that in order to carry out the contract of the crisis contract, the ship itself could barely keep its propulsion system working before it set sail... and then it encountered the natural disaster codenamed Black Edge..."

"Hmm, it feels like it happened just yesterday... This ship was also within Black Fang's inner circle at the time, I wonder how much damage it suffered..."

"I'm sorry, Rhodes Island had already started seaworthiness trials when I reported for duty, so the specific records from three years ago might require a statement from the shipping department..."

Hearing Aya's serious and earnest tone behind her, Nana glanced back sheepishly. This child, who seemed to be deliberately imitating Kal'tsit from head to toe, gave Nana an unusual sense of heaviness.

"Ah, that's not what I meant. You don't need to go to command center... I just wanted to know if anyone on board was injured or killed in that disaster? What's the overall situation of Rhodes Island... and the Tikkarido rescue forces that were cooperating with the operation?"

"I knew you'd ask about this part, so I made a note of it beforehand... I found it here."

Take out a notebook filled with pages and subconsciously hand it over, but thinking of Nana's condition, she was about to take it back and read it to Nana herself... But Kate quickly took the notebook, and then part of her soul passed through Nana's body and nestled on Nana's lap, indicating with a smug look that she should notify Nana if she wanted to turn the page.

With no time to deal with this mischievous guy, Nana's attention was instantly drawn to Aya's notes... or rather, her scrapbook.

Besides the girl's handwritten notes, there were also numerous clippings from Colombian newspapers... but looking at the data, Nana couldn't help but frown:

"...Of the total force of over ten thousand people, nineteen died en route... In addition to the fourteen Blacksteel International crew members, five crew members from the supply ship Star of Ticarendo died in an accident while conducting damage control operations outside the ship..."

Looking at the abbreviation for 'death' in the slender handwriting, Nana sighed:

"Rhodes Island... has no death records... is it because they haven't released them?"

"No, Director Warfarin of the medical department has brought the situation under control. And because our land-based ships are mainly damaged by drones... so although the drone hangar was reportedly completely emptied in that natural disaster, no crew members were injured."

Ship crew... Upon hearing this word, Nana involuntarily shrank her neck. Wasn't Rhodes Island's shipping department only staffed by Kal'tsit? What would happen if she got injured?

And... Kal'tsit seems to be the kind of person who won't make a sound even if she's injured.

Listening to Aya's explanation, Nana stopped looking at the notebook... Although according to her homework habits, these follow-up materials also needed to be confirmed... But, after all, they were reports from three years ago, and even the newspapers pasted on the notebook had turned yellow and brittle. Nana felt that it might be faster to ask her manager about this kind of thing.

"Anyway... it's good that no one on Rhodes Island is hurt... but there are probably quite a few wounded."

As she spoke, the notebook floating in front of Nana turned a page, which happened to be an interview with Susuluo in the ward.

Some of the text mentioning Nana herself was highlighted by Aya with a bright marker, and the interview title was...

"...A hero with an extraordinary spirit of dedication...Rhodes Island...Why does Sussurro look so dazed in this photo?"

Smiling, Nana closed her notebook. When she looked up again, she saw Susuru and Huang waving at her from a distance.

Clearly, compared to the photos from three years ago, Sussuro no longer looks sickly... and has obviously recovered from the accident.

Without making a sound, Nana put away her notebook. She knew she had to keep up with everyone else.

"Nana~ Are you free to move around now?"

Seeing the big cat and little fox running towards her with worried expressions, Nana shook her head, which was now able to move freely:

"Pretty much, the part above the neck can move freely, right..."

"Hey! Why are you talking like you're about to fart?"

"Because yesterday I couldn't even move my head, and it was very difficult to open my eyes... Don't you think I feel much better now?"

Seeing the two people seemingly scrutinizing her, Nana also carefully looked at Huang, who appeared to be wearing an elite uniform, and Susuru, who was wearing a chief physician's badge, and swapped them with the still somewhat naive memories she had of them:

"I'm back... Didn't I say three years ago that I'd treat everyone to drinks?"

"Oh... I think that's true, but we drank it at the celebration three years ago."
