Chapter 491: Jin, Towards Kaina Village (2/2)

The ten golem cats started to move all at once and began to meow. Jin immediately named each one of them.

Then…

“Tama, you stay here. The rest, come with me.”

Following Jin’s orders, Tama walked up to Elsa. When Elsa stroked its head, Tama jumped silently from the workbench and rubbed its body against Elsa’s legs.

The remaining 9 golem cats formed a line behind Jin, followed by Reiko at the very end of the line.

Using the Warp Gate, they traveled through shinkai and towards Kaina Village. The exit point was the shelter in front of Nidou Castle.

“Ah, Lord Jin, welcome back.”

Noticing Jin’s presence, Barrow rushed over to him. Jin realized that his behavior was a little off.

“Thanks, Barrow. What’s the matter? Did something happen?”

“Y-Yes. Um, it looks like we have found two seemingly lost children.”

“Lost children?”

“Yes. They’re at Dr. Sally’s clinic. I only know what I’ve learned by hearsay, so please ask the village chief if you wish to know more about this.”

“Got it.”

As Jin began to feel that trouble was on its way once again, Belle arrived also in a hurry, so he introduced the golem cats to her.

“Whoa, they’re so cute!”

“So these are the famous cats, huh?”

“Yeah. I’ll be letting them run free around the village, so try to show them some affection from time to time.”

He also added that they didn’t need food or water because they were golems, which caused both Barrow and Belle to stare at them in wonder. This was the first time they had seen a golem that resembled a small animal.

It would be more accurate to say that there had never been a small animal golem in that world before, so their surprise was understandable.

“They don’t even look artificial…”

The yellow golem cat approached Belle and crouched at her feet. She reached out and caressed its body. Its fur was made from Ground Spider silk, which was more supple than regular silk, and stronger than steel.

“It feels so nice to touch…”

Leaving Ou with her, Jin started walking forward.

“Alright, let’s go take a look.”

Now Jin had only 8 cats following him.

“Ah, it’s big brother Jin!”

“Oh, what are those?”

The children approached Jin the moment they noticed he was there.

“These are golem cats. I’ll let them wander around the village, so please show them some affection.”

“Golem… cats?”

Patty, one of the children, picked up the blue “Sei”, who then promptly curled up in her arms.

“You’re really skilled at holding it, Patty.”

“Yeah, I’m used to holding Henry just like this.”

Henry was Patty’s newborn younger brother, born on June 27th. Even though he was barely 1 month old and couldn’t even hold his own head steady, it seemed that her older sister was already used to babysitting him.

After stroking Patty’s head, Jin resumed his walk. Reiko and the now seven golem cats followed behind him.

Along the way, Seki and Tou ran off, chasing some small animal that looked like a mouse. Jin then arrived at Martha’s house joined by only five golem cats.

“Ah, big brother! Welcome back!”

Hanna rushed to see Jin and was surprised to find the five golem cats behind him.

“Oh, are those cats? You made them, big brother!”

It all started when they came across a cat figurine in the old Lenard Kingdom and Hanna asked Jin if he could make something like it.

“Yeah, I’ll be letting them roam free in the village, so make sure to show them some affection when you can.”

As Jin said that, Haku, the white golem cat, rushed to Hannah and got on her shoulder.

“Whoa!”

Golem cats weighed about the same as normal cats.

Haku was rubbing itself against Hanna’s face.

“Waah, so fluffy!”

Hanna was in very high spirits. Jin leaned towards her.

“Hanna, do you know about the lost children that are said to be staying at Dr. Sally’s clinic?”

“Eh? Ah, yeah. Are you going there?”

“That’s the plan.”

Then, Jin parted ways with Hanna and headed towards the village chief’s house, followed by Reiko and four golem cats.

On the way, they ran into other children, and Ryoku and Yukari stayed behind with them, so when Jin arrived at the village mayor’s house, he only had Ai and Koku with him.

“Hello.”

Sally came out as soon as they knocked on the door.

“Ah, it’s you. I take it you’re here about the lost children? You came at the right time. Come in.”

Following those words, Jin entered the Milleshan Clinic. The golem cats, however, ran off somewhere.
