Chapter 33 (1/2)

Blacksmith Volume 2 Chapter 13

Today is a school holiday, as well as -awaited vacation day

I was thinking about doing the challenge given to ic, but because there’s always two people in my room, I decided it would be best to find a quiet place outside to practice instead

Following the procedure I did in the classrooradually took the form of a cat, and after I coly

“Oh”

My line of sight becaht

I had completely turned into a cat

With all four ofup and down a few times

As I thought, its light

Before I knew it, I was having fun from this simple action

Nyanyaa~ I walked in rhyth as a cat

Finally reaching the lawn, I plopped my whole body down for a bit

Ah, the sun feels great~

Students passing by would glance atin particular to me, I was only a cat after all

Finished with rounds a bit more

This really makes me feel like I’ve become a cat

Maybe if I find somewhere nice, I’ll even have a nap like this

I wonder how long I’ll be able to keep the transformation up?

“Shah!” (sfx: Hiss!)

As I was taking my walk comfortably, my natural enemy had appeared before me!

There was a e body He was like a king walking in the middle of the road, there was no doubt he was a veteran of hts

More ie amount of hostility

I wonder if cats have things like territories as well? I’m not sure on the finer details but I do know that he’s not in a happy mood

I guess for now I’ll just say ‘hello’, “Nyaa”

“Shah!”

“Nyaa?” Translation: Is there so with your stomach?

“Shah!”

“Nyaa?” Translation: How’s it going? Are you having a good day?

“Shah!”

This is useless, I think his mood is even worse than before

I guess it can’t be helped, I tried to converse with hi

I slowly began to approach him

Understanding ht

Before that could happen though, I released a bit of er

“Nyaa?!”

The other cat raised his voice in surprise

When your opponent suddenly beco a fight with them

He ih I do feel a little bad about that

I don’t even to say the results

Score one win for Kururi Helan

Returning my body back to a normal cat, I resumed my walk

Oh, there was grasshopper bouncing in front of my eyes

Hht now, but before I knew it I was chasing it like my life depended on it… why?

Whatever, right now all I know is that I want to catch it!

I want to catch it right in between my paws!

The grasshopper landed, and I pounced, to sandwich it right between rasshopper that could jump faster than any other!

I jumped! Miss I repeat! Miss This cycle happened a couple of times but I couldn’t catch it

…?! I caught it in my mouth!

Paku (sfx: bite) Yup, I caught it well

I did it!

…ueeeeee I finally realized I had a grasshopper inside my mouth… I spat it out immediately

Ugh, I can still taste it a bit I-it couldn’t be helped okay?! I had no control over myself!

My erous, really dangerous

From now on, I need to be careful whenever I use this spell

After re-confir the school

The roads that I’ve passed through so many times look completely different as a cat

It really gives a fresh feeling, everything is new and tickles my curiosity

Neko-sensei’s ic sure is useful

As I walked tokotoko (sfx: step step), I found a couple flirting together early in the

I recognise both their faces, and the place that they’ve ht

Wow, I just saw so

The other side wasn’t vigilant of me at all, it must be because I’m a cat

So I can even use it for things like this, I feel that this also has a lot of bad uses to it as well

Maybe it was because everything was so new in this form, or because I’ve been like this for a while, but I was feeling a little drowsy

I was suddenly in the mood to find a place where I could nap

Thinking about such things, I

Wait, that’s?

There was a familiar face there

It was Iris, reading a book alone by a flowerbed

Spending your holiday reading, you sure are serious

Though, I don’t really think she’s doing this because she wants too

Iris is a special presence in the school, but that

Because of her relationshi+p with the prince, along with her grades and school performance, she’s not only made an enemy of Eliza, but many other students as well

Even I’ve recently heard the ru harassed

There are even stories being told by the seniors to help spread conteeneral

To see her in such a state, where she doesn’t even have any girls as friends… I don’t like it

I can only iine how bad it is at the dormitory

I’ve never confirmed these rumours myself, but they’re likely to be true

Maybe it’s because she’s always so cheerful when she’s with me that I never noticed

Just looking at her, in coure spending her holiday all alone, how could I just let this be?

After ht, I canceled the spell

Just in case I double checked my hands to see if there was any trace of ‘paw’ left

“H over to the place Iris sat, I called out to her

By chance, as she looked up a soft gust of wind blew by,her hair sway

“Kururi? What are you doing here?”

“I saw a serious student reading a book by herself in a corner of the school building, and thought I should say ‘Hi’”

“I can settle down here, I can’t really concentrate when there’s a lot of people around… but I’m still happy you came”

That’s the bright Iris that I know

“Iris, you’re always so bright and energetic, but that’s no excuse for h… umm, what I mean to say is, if you ever have any troubles, I’m here for you”

“What’s with this so suddenly?”

Iris started to laugh a bit
