I'm really not a Sanctuary Warlock.

The seller said that stupid people can become invisible after wearing it.

He put it on, and became invisible.

What does this mean? Is he an idiot?

Lynn ripped off his cloak and reappeared in the stone chamber.

"Come on, put this on."

He handed the invisibility cloak directly to Cat Whitey.

He needed to see for himself whether the catgirl was just making fun of him.

"Don't be sad, meow, I'm wearing it."

Cat White took the cloak with a smug look on her face. She imitated Lynn, draped the cloak over her shoulders, and tied the straps.

Then, nothing happened.

The petite cat girl, dressed in a dark green vest and pleated skirt, still stood there alive, her cat ears twitching proudly on her head.

Linn was silent.

Am I really... stupid?

No, it's impossible.

He quickly dismissed the idea.

How could I, a modern person who has received nine years of compulsory education, be less intelligent than a catgirl from another world?

This unscientific.

But the facts are undeniable.

Forget it.

Lynn gave up on dwelling on the matter.

As long as it works, who cares if it's stupid or not.

Intelligence is less useful than a magic cloak.

Besides, he felt he should at least be at a normal level; perhaps the evaluation criteria for this equipment were rather peculiar.

He took the invisibility cloak back from Mao Baibai, folded it, and stuffed it into his bag.

"Alright." Lynn cleared his throat, interrupting Cat Whitey's attempt to continue showing off. "You've already repaid the favor of saving you from the wolf's jaws."

He paused, then changed the subject.

"So, shall we talk about the reward for helping you kill the bandits?"

"Meow?"

Just as Cat Bai Bai was about to take out the half-eaten dried fish slice to continue gnawing on, she froze upon hearing this.

Her bright green cat eyes widened in surprise, and her tail swayed behind her in confusion.

"This... can't these be counted together, meow?"

Lynn shook his head, his expression serious.

"Of course not."

"Helping you retrieve your belongings from the robbers is a separate service and requires an additional fee."

He looked at the bewildered catgirl and added, "So, you need to bring out another good thing so we can be even."

This catgirl is a treasure trove; it would be a waste of my magic power if I didn't take the opportunity to squeeze more out of her.

"Okay, meow, I understand."

The cat's ears drooped, and it looked completely dejected.

Somewhat dejected, she hugged the canvas backpack to her chest and reluctantly began rummaging through it.

She muttered to herself, "Humans are all so heartless, meow..."

But she was quickly making plans in her mind.

We need to find something that looks valuable but is actually useless.

Got it!

Cat Baibai's eyes lit up, and he stopped what he was doing.

"Wow, this is it, meow!"

She pulled a small black iron ring from deep inside her backpack.

The ring has a very old-fashioned design, with no gemstones set in it, only some obscure and twisted patterns carved on it, giving off an ominous aura.

"An ominous curse."

This was found by Cat White on a dead high priest, and it is said to be able to seal the curse on the wearer.

The features sound powerful, but are actually incredibly useless.

After all, who, apart from those cultists who are evil to the core, would be cursed?

This thing is completely useless to normal people.

It's perfect for paying off debts.

Cat Bai Bai was secretly plotting something, but her face showed a pained expression.

She stepped forward and offered to help Lynn put the ring on, to show her sincerity.

"This is really powerful, you should wear it..."

Lynn was busy fiddling with the invisibility cloak in her hands and didn't notice that Cat White had already come closer.

To help him put on the ring, Cat Whitey grabbed his arm.

It was just a fleeting moment of contact.

"Meow!!!"

A piercing scream echoed throughout the stone chamber.

As if its tail had been stepped on, the cat Bai Bai jumped back suddenly, its fur standing on end.

She adopted an aggressive stance, hissing threateningly from her throat, her eyes filled with terror.

Name: Cat Bai Bai

[Race: Cat Girl]

[Level: 3]

Occupation: Businessman

【HP: 100%】

[Rationality: 98-97 / Perhaps he was accidentally startled]

Cat Baibai's own information flashed before his eyes.

Lynn was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.

Ugh.

He sighed silently.

Again.

This damned curse of mine.

Forget about anything more exciting, we can't even have the most basic physical contact with women now.

This curse is too cruel; it leaves absolutely no way out.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Cat Bai Bai was completely dumbfounded.

She looked at her suddenly decreasing sanity level with a blank expression.

What the heck, meow?

Why did my sanity drop just from touching this human?

Although it was only a little bit, the feeling of countless insects crawling in my brain made me extremely uncomfortable.

She stared at Lynn, who was standing not far away, scrutinizing him repeatedly.

This isn't like those evil god's minions that make people lose their minds just by looking at them.

He had delicate features and was even... a little bit handsome.

It doesn't look like that kind of terrifying being at all.

What's more, he's so kind that he'd break into a bandit's den to save a catgirl he didn't even know.

What exactly is going on?

A huge sense of contradiction exploded in Mao Bai Bai's mind, plunging her little brain into complete chaos.

"This is an ominous curse ring. Wearing it can block your own curses. Try it and see if it works, meow?"

Cat White instinctively tossed out the ring and then told Lynn what the ring was for.

Block the curse?

Lynn's eyes lit up instantly.

If it really works, its value is far greater than that invisibility cloak!

He couldn't wait to put the black iron ring on his index finger.

The ring felt cool to the touch and was the perfect size.

After putting it on, Lynn carefully felt it.

It seems like... I don't feel anything.

There was no change in his body, and the flow of magic remained the same.

Whether it works or not, we need to test it on a living animal.

Lynn raised her head, her gaze naturally falling on the cat Bai Bai opposite her.

Cat Bai Bai was startled by his gaze. She hugged her tail and took a big step back.

Lynn certainly wouldn't actually use her for experiments.

If it doesn't work and scares the little cat girl badly, it won't be worth it.

There are plenty of wolves in this forest; it's perfect to use them as targets.

He was just about to set off to look for the gray wolves that had just escaped.

"Neigh—"

The Holy Spirit Unicorn, which had been quietly waiting outside the cave, suddenly let out a high-pitched screech.

It suddenly raised its front hooves, pawed at the ground twice, and then charged directly into the depths of the forest.

Lynn was taken aback.

Then, a smile appeared on his face.

"There's no need for me to go and look for it."

Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Kitten Girl is So Soft and Scented

Seeing that he had nothing to do, Lynn turned and walked towards the cave entrance.

The cat, carrying a backpack and with half a fish slice in its mouth, followed behind indistinctly.

"What's wrong, meow?"

Lynn did not answer.

He stepped out of the cave, where the sunlight was somewhat dazzling.

Not long after, the Holy Spirit Unicorn returned, followed by a gray wolf with its tail between its legs.
