I, the little cat, am a substitute for others who are starving and thin

The voices of Meili and Yimi came from the dungeon.

"?"

Beatrice quickly used magic to break the lock of the basement door and looked at the corner. Two girls, one big and one small, were sitting face to face on the bed, each holding a piece of paper in their hands.

A particularly abstract little monster with a head drawn like a hamburger. Although it is impossible to tell what it is, this is the most terrifying creature in Yimi's eyes, a dinosaur.

In comparison, Mary's paintings are even better looking, because there are no dolls and she can only use low-quality paintings instead.

This game is very interesting for Yimi, who has never even played house.

"Yesterday he was looking for an opportunity to kill the other person, but today they suddenly become so close."

Beatrice stood at the door in silence.

"Oh, it's Miss Big Elf~ Ugh!"

Mary, who was waving and greeting Beatrice, couldn't help but retched. In a sense, she was also tortured.

"How rude."

When she woke up in the morning, she found that the kitten in her arms had turned into the little girl who killed Elsa. Mary did not panic, but taught her to play the game naturally.

I have been imitating other people's postures all the time, and at this time I can easily disguise my own appearance.

Beatrice crossed her arms and looked down at Mary. "Thank you, brother! Thanks to him, you can live here comfortably. But you are too dangerous to be released. At least not now."

After Roswaal left, the one who had the final say here was certainly not Natsuki Subaru, who did not gain the trust of most people, but Emilia, whom he supported.

Beatrice's reason for listening to Emilia was simple: if Emilia was sad, her brother Parker would be sad too. Even without that connection, she didn't really want to hit a child. Just like when she pushed Imi out with her head, if Natsuki Subaru had been there, she would have used magic to blast him off the second floor.

She "killed" the other party before Mary could attack. If Mary used her protection to summon a large number of monsters, things would be much more troublesome.

"I won't run away. I've failed this mission. I'll have to face a furious 'Mom' when I get out. I can't even imagine what will happen then, Meili. I feel much more relaxed now."

Mary sat on the edge of the bed, swinging her legs. She looked cheerful, but a little out of place.

A manifestation of anxiety.

Yimi patted her head and said, "Since you are having fun playing with the cat, I will spare your life for now."

She ran to Beatrice and prepared to have dinner with her.

Watching them leave, Mary stopped shaking her legs.

"Strange cat."

……

"Finally found you, little sister~"

However, just as they walked out, Yimi heard a voice that did not belong to this house appearing behind them.

"who!"

Beatrice rubbed out a purple mana arrow and shot it in that direction.

"What a pity, I didn't hit it~"

The Archbishop of Gluttony is a group of three siblings.

Chapter 19 Eat it.

"Very good, very good. Because it is very good, it is very good."

"Ahh~ Kill our pet little sister, this is a delicacy we've been waiting to taste for so long, we can't wait to feast on you."

Compared with his brother Lei, he is shorter. However, unlike Lei, his equally messy brown hair is neatly braided at the back of his head. The quality of his clothes does not seem to be very good, but at least they are not so tattered as to look like a beggar. His main weapon is the sharp claws on his five fingers.

"We are the Archbishop of Sin of the Witch Cult, Roy Alphard."

He introduced himself in a tone that deserved a beating, and stared at Yimi with his eyes framed by his scowl: "Before that, may I ask the name of the little sister who killed our pet?"

"My name is Yimi."

Yimi sniffed the air and looked at him curiously.

The taste is somewhat familiar, very similar to the big fish I saw when I first came into this world.

"Your pet is a big fish?"

Beatrice pulled her behind her: "There's no need to waste time talking to such a person, right? Erminia——"

After reciting the spell, it looked like an ordinary purple arrow, but in reality, upon being hit, the body would be frozen in time, then crystallize and begin to shatter. However, even the most powerful magic was useless if it couldn't hit. This guy was as agile as a monkey.

"What a great name! Not bad, not bad, not bad, right?"

Obtaining a name is one of the conditions for triggering the power of the Archbishop of Gluttony. As "Gluttons", they can devour two main things: one is "name" and the other is "memory".

There's no need to explain the latter, but the former isn't so much about eating up a 'name' as it is about eating up 'existence', just like the erasing mist of the white whale. Even if one still exists in this world, no one will remember their existence. And those who are eaten by both will become empty shells that can only breathe and no one remembers them.

Besides.

"Lunar eclipse——"

They also have the ability to physically reproduce the memories of their opponents, using the techniques from the devoured memories and even combining them for use.

Under Beatrice's gaze, the magic she used for defense was directly ignored by the opponent. It was not the effect of pure huge force, but a special move that ignored mana defense.

As Beatrice frowned slightly, a scarlet spear passed directly over her shoulder from behind her, carrying sharp magic power and piercing Roy's palm until his entire hand was cut off, and in the meantime, it brushed past Roy's ear.

"It hurts, it hurts so much, it hurts so much - but I did touch it, what a pity, little sister, chew and spit, I remember you just said your name is - Yimi?"

He was shocked by her enormous magic power, because at the moment he was attacked, he successfully touched Yimi's arm with his other hand. Touching was the second condition for him to trigger his power.

Call the other person's name and then lick the palm.

Beatrice's face twisted slightly. "You disgusting bug! Betty has never met anyone in her life who can surpass you in being disgusting."

But she didn't need to do anything. After Roy made this gesture, his funny scowl twisted for a moment.

"vomit!"

Immediately afterwards, a strong feeling of nausea stimulated his stomach, almost making him vomit out his bile.

This wasn't an unheard of phenomenon; it was the reaction he'd experienced after eating the fake name.

Despicable, bitch, disgusting!

"vomit!"

"You want to eat me?"

Yimi, however, saw through the purpose of Roy's behavior and was particularly sensitive when it came to "eating".

"【Famine！】"

Naturally, there was no chance for Roy to recover. The dark knight, covered in linen, grabbed Roy's neck with his slender and dry hands, lifted his short body up, and watched him kicking and struggling with his golden eyes indifferently.

"What? What? What is this? What is this?"

Roy couldn't understand it. It wasn't the phenomenon that didn't seem to be composed of 'Mana', but the deep malice directed almost exclusively at him, and the power was sending him a trembling foreboding.

He pinched him with one hand, and the scale in his other hand made a clicking sound due to the vibration.

Roy's retching was abruptly stopped by the grip on his neck. He made a hoarse sound and scratched Famine's arm with his only remaining hand. The power of Gluttony was like a magnet drawn to the side of the wall, so that he couldn't even use the more costly "Solar Eclipse".

Although he failed to devour the other person's memory, something was trying to invade his consciousness, as if mocking the blasphemous act he had just committed.

He knew it too well. It was the feeling of 'hunger'. A creature that eats other creatures to survive may also serve as food to sustain the survival of other creatures.

Roy stared at Yimi with his bloodshot eyes and uttered three words again: "Da, Fu, Ni?"

"Hey!"

Betty looked at the kitten in confusion.

These three words are the name of the late Gluttony Witch.

Although they are called Archbishops of Witch Sins, their direct relationship with these witches who died four hundred years ago is actually just that they inherited a little bit of the "witch gene". Even if there is a difference in compatibility, it cannot be that big.

There was no chance to verify his thoughts. Under Betty's confused gaze, Yimi's eyes were once again replaced by a faint golden light.

With just a thought, Famine can inflict injuries that devour the opponent's flesh and blood, but in addition to 'direct damage' and 'making the opponent drain blood', there is a third, more difficult triggering condition.

“Flesh or Life?”

The clear child's voice utters a language that this world may not be able to understand.

The Soul Curse, the power of the Soul Soul Fruit from the predecessor of Yimi's third method. As long as he showed fear, even the slightest hint, even a flash of fear for a moment, the conditions would be met.

"Kaka——"

The scales calmed.

"you?"

You are eating me?

With his legs stretched straight and his hair turning gray in an instant, Roy, already lifeless, fell to the ground as his substitute disappeared.

Yimi moved her mouth as if she was chewing something.

She patted Beatrice, who frowned slightly: "What's wrong with you?"

"You in the end..."

Beatrice wanted to say something, then shook her head gently. "I'm just sorry Betty didn't get a chance to appear. Humph, I was hoping to show you the power of the Great Elf, but it's not too late now, is it?"

She looked at the yard wall that was pierced by Yimi's gun. Outside, several monsters with red eyes were slowly walking in.

Chapter 20 Let’s kill him now!

"Uh!"

Natsuki Subaru doesn't understand whether his ability to occasionally avoid injury is related to his own death and return. If so, isn't this a conflict that puts the cart before the horse?

But one thing is true.

"What's going on, you cool hero?"

For a moment, Lei thought that Natsuki Subaru was the real greedy one, and Regulus was a fake one, and he almost got hurt by him accidentally.

Natsuki Subaru was kicked to the roots of a tree and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

This strange ability of not getting hurt wasn't permanent, was it? Not only was it not permanent, but he couldn't even control it.

"You're just a nobody, yet you smell so good! It really surprised us. It's sweet and delicious. I can't wait to devour you and find out what you taste like."

What he said was right. Even if he hadn't experienced the same panic as when he saw the two corpses in the thief's house, the fact that his neck was almost pierced was enough to scare Natsuki Subaru so much that his legs went weak.

Natsuki Subaru is still a little too naive. That so-called ability to not get hurt is difficult for him to control at all.

Moreover, even in a short period of inactivity, he couldn't defeat this ugly guy unarmed, and he couldn't swing Rem's meteor hammer. He thought he could be a hero after getting a new skill.

"As long as I'm here, no one will hurt you." He obviously wanted to act cool like this.

Seeing that he was not provoked to tell his name by his word "nobody", Lei touched the unconscious Rem beside him with boredom.

He just thought he had obtained a new plug-in and wanted to imitate the classic scene of "You go first and I'll cover your rear", but this trick seemed to have no effect on Rem, but Petra ran out safely.

Subaru Natsuki stretched out his hand towards Rem.

Even if he can sometimes be temporarily safe from harm, it does not mean that he can protect others. He is the only one who is safe from harm, and it has nothing to do with others.

“Rem…”

As Lei licked her, Rem's existence and memories completely disappeared from this world.

"Hmm~ The cooked food is as delicious as expected, so..."

"what have you done?!"

Feeling his body stiffen slightly again, Natsuki Subaru supported himself and stood up again.

The bad thing is, this fixed state not only prevents him from getting hurt, but also fixes his state of being almost exhausted during the short period of time when the fixed effect is lost.

"What have you done? It's pathetic, tearful, and lamentable. Chivalry, hatred, and obsession have been simmering for a long, long time! Is there anything more delicious in the world than this? It can't exist, right? It definitely can't exist, right? Mr. 486?"

Lei even imitated Rem's tone when addressing the last one.
