135 Cats in the courtyard (2/2)

Rage seemed to have been drinking with Ishtia afterwards.

I wonder what happened after that?

When I see him, I'll ask him and see what he says.

When I get up from my bunk, there's food and a jug of water on the table by my side.

It looks like they've been prepared for me.

It consists of thinly baked bread, vegetables, goat's cheese and fruit.

It seems that the basic part of the meal is the same even if it is Gypsies.

I've been losing my appetite, so I decided to have just fruit.

When I took a bite of the fruit, its gentle sweetness spread in my mouth.

It has a texture like the figs I've had before.

Mmm! Well! Let's go!

As I finish my fruit, I stand taller.

For now, I'm going to go find Rage.

After getting dressed, I leave the room.

I walk down the hallway.

On the way, I pass a group of cat lady's attendants.

They greet me and clear the way for me.

They look very busy.

What is it called in this world to be a cat's helper?

As I was thinking about this, I came to a large courtyard.

The courtyard is large and lush with greenery and water running from a spring.

It's hard to believe that we are in the middle of a desert.

Let's walk around a bit.

And it was while I was walking in the courtyard.

'Geez!'

A small voice comes out.

It's because there's Mejed (a freak) and the princess Nelphiti in the corner of the courtyard.

I can't help but feel bad for Mejed.

There are many cats at the feet of that Mejed, dancing happily.

What are they doing?

And there's no sign of Tona.

They seem to be acting differently. What's going on?

Are they hiding?

Halseth and the male gods, taken aback by last night's dainty appearance, are waiting for Tona to appear again.

Are they hiding now that they've noticed it?

'Oh? The Brave Men of Light are here, and now what? What was your name, yah?

Nell notices me and looks at me.

'I'm Chiyuki. Princess Nell. What are you doing here?

I'll introduce myself.

I've barely spoken to Nell.

It wouldn't help if he didn't remember my name.

'As you can see, I'm dancing with Medjed here,'

When Nell said this, Medjed would swing his hips and dance.

Probably under the cloth, the burlun is swaying.

...... What am I thinking about?

Have I not sobered up from last night?

Let's look up as much as we can.

Then I notice something on Medjed's head.

”Cat-ears?

Mejed's head was covered in nekomimi, unlike yesterday.

I couldn't help but wonder why! I almost scream.

Why? You're in catfish mode, right?

Medjed is still swinging his hips and dancing.

My mind is getting confused.

'What's the matter with you?'

'Well. That ...... um.

I want to tweak it! I want to be so lucky!

But I swallow the words.

Nell is the princess of Gypseal. She can't be rude.

'Oh? I see. I understand. I wanted this.

As I look at Mejed's nekomimi, Nell puts the one in her hand on my head.

'What? What's this?

I touch the object attached to my head.

It seems to be a decoration in the shape of a Necomimi.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. Now we're matching.

Nell nodded yes.

...... so I was jealous of the nekomimi in Medjed.

But now I'm in nekomimi mode too.

Hmmm, Medjed. I'm not going to lose now.

''What! Chigaaa------u！！！！

There's no way... ！！！！

I finally scream.

I sit down with my head in my hands.

I can't keep up with the tweaking.

Nell and the cats nod their heads, wondering what's wrong with them.

What's wrong with you, sitting down all of a sudden? Chiyuki?

'No. ....... It's nothing. Thank you, Nekomimi.

I manage to get up.

I'm so tired.

What's going on? Did I hear something loud?!

Someone hears my shout and comes running in.

I turn around and see Rage coming towards us.

Behind him are Ishtia and Bruul, as well as a beautiful sphinx and other beastly women.

It looks like Ishtia and the others were with Rage.

They also have the girls in tow.

''What's up?! Chiyuki? What's going on? Is that catnip?

Rage is surprised to see my nekomimi.

He has a look on his face that says, 'What are you doing?

'Err. It's nothing.'

I cough and cough.

Ishtia and Bruul look at me and laugh.

'Mm-hmm. It looks good on you, Chiyuki. It looks like Nell has put you on.

'Princess Nell. I don't think it's a good idea to wear a nekomimi on anyone. It looks good on Chiyuki, but there are some who don't.

I know. Bruul. But it looks good on Mejed and Chiyuki.

Nell says proudly.

Does this princess make sure that everyone is nekomimied?

Then Rage is scurrying around.

'Princess Nell?' Where is the goddess Totoona? You don't seem to be able to see me, sir?

Hey, are you the one who was waiting for Tona?

I shove at Rage in my mind.

'Totonan worked too hard yesterday and is sleeping in her room.

I don't know what you've been working on, but it looks like Tona's gone.

Too bad, Rage.

I laugh heartily.

'More importantly, Rage. Where have you been with Ishtia and Bruul?

I glare at Rage.

Where was I going with the two goddesses?

I'm just curious.

'Oh. Then we were going to the Golden Pyramid.

Rage says, looking at Ishtia and Bruul.

'The Golden Pyramid? How did you end up there again?

'It's to make a contract with the Higher Spirit of Light. Chiyuki. Rage was looking for a way to become stronger. When Sekhmetra heard about it, she told him about the High Spirit of Light that appears in the Golden Pyramid. He thought that if they had the power of light, they could make a contract with him.

Ishtia explains on behalf of Rage.

In this world, there are spirits of earth, water, fire, wind, light, dark, etc.

Each of them requires an innate talent in order to summon each of them.

You will be able to get along with many spirits, but even Reno, who can get along with many spirits, couldn't summon a higher level spirit of light.

'Yeah. And it worked. That was easy. Chiyuki.

Rage chuckles at that.

Rage couldn't summon basic spirits like earth water, fire, and wind at all.

However, he seemed to have an aptitude for the higher level spirits of light.

''Nyanto?! It's amazing how even Hal-kun can pull off the impossible!

Nell is also surprised.

It seems that Halseth also has the power of light, just like Rage, but he couldn't make a deal with a higher level spirit.

I can see her frustrated.

Suddenly, I see Mejed next to Nell.

Mejed was staring at Rage.
