Chapter 260: Divine Cat Mii-chan Treats a Beautiful Cat Family to Lunch
Cheers from the floor below still filled the air. I just hoped Eva’s wrath wouldn’t come crashing down.
“Even if you have a trump card, it’s pointless without the right moment to use it…”
“It seems the monsters around Hildenburg have started moving in response to the Goblin King’s fight against the Western Demon King.”
“Is that the work of one of the Demon Kings?”
“We’re not sure. However, the Grand Duke and the others believe that the monsters have been inspired by the movements of the Demon Kings.”
“Hildenburg’s strength can’t be relied on, then…”
“It’s going to be tough…”
“With Lotharingia’s suspicious actions, the Dragon Knights are finding it difficult to move as well.”
“It looks like we’ll have to declare a state of emergency nationwide. Both the main guild and Guildmaster Zest won’t be getting much sleep.”
A state of emergency means that even beginner and veteran hunters will be summoned for the Goblin King battle, which until now only called upon mid-rank hunters. This would result in the suspension of most requests at each Hunter Guild, causing quite a mess. But we have no choice. The key will be whether or not the Hunter Guilds in other nations follow suit.
“We’ll make sure to set up a battlefield for the decisive battle. In the meantime, tell Jin to keep training the heroes.”
“Understood. It’s not someone else’s problem, so I plan to assist as well.”
“Hmm. It’s good to train. Keep it up.”
While drinking tea served by Eva, we shifted the topic to atmospheric skills. Apparently, some have made significant progress, with a few even purchasing firearms. That’s quite something.
“I’ve been training and have mastered earth skills as well.”
“What!? How did you learn that?”
“A dragon taught me.”
“A dra-dragon…”
“A dragon as a mentor? Nero, you’re amazing!”
The two had opposite reactions. Guildmaster Serion had a bitter expression, while Eva looked at me with pure admiration. I had also learned a lightning skill, but it doesn’t look very good, so I don’t like showing it off in front of people…
“So, you’re not here just to show your face, are you?”
“As expected of Guildmaster Serion. Actually, I came to ask for a favor.”
I began explaining about the private military force and asked for assistance in arranging soldiers.
“We need to prepare for both the Goblin King and possibly Lotharingia. I think it’s essential to quickly form a private army.”
“However, organizing hunters is a difficult task.”
“The head of the private army will be Glenhardt. I believe everyone will follow him.”
“What… Glen? Is that why he retired?!”
“It’s the other way around! He’s taking this on because he retired!”
“Nero, the Hunter Guild headquarters will resent you again.”
“Most likely.”
It seems Glenhardt, with his strength and personality, was intended to be promoted to guildmaster by the Hunter Guild headquarters. But I had no idea about that. Glenhardt asked me to hire him first, and that’s how it went.
“Alright, I’ll send a few people. Forte, is it?”
“Yes. Glenhardt is currently acting as the deputy governor there.”
“So, you’re already making good use of him, I see.”
Not at all! I mentioned I would be staying in Quint for the time being, and Guildmaster Serion extracted a promise from me to bring everyone to Gran Phil next time. Naturally, I happily agreed.
As I descended to the lower floor, I was greeted by familiar faces.
“Nero-nyan!”
“Nya!”
“Hey, how did you get here?!”
“It’s all thanks to Mii-chan’s deep love!”
“Mii~”
“Mii-chan, you’re amazing!”
“Mii-chan, give me some of that love too!”
Two people seemed to be taking it seriously, but I ignored them.
“Are you all set?”
“Yeah, more or less. What about you, Nero?”
“I’m mostly ready. I’ve just got one errand left and need to prepare meals for the labyrinth. Afterward, I’ll rely on Sykes for the food.”
“Ohh, Sykes-nyan’s cooking is delicious! Among the cooks Perro knows, he’s probably sixth or seventh best!”
“Is that supposed to be a compliment?”
“Perro has a refined palate. Just being remembered is impressive.”
“We’ve been eating here since we arrived in Quint.”
“Ah, it’s a nostalgic taste.”
“A home-cooked meal for sure~”
So, although it was a bit early, we decided to have lunch. Mii-chan had invited a beautiful mother cat and her kitten to join us for the meal. The mother cat, Fel-san, and her kitten, Pal-chan, were adored by everyone, and their fur was exceptionally glossy. You wouldn’t believe they used to be strays. Fel-san even had a yellow scarf, a gift from the ladies. Pal-chan was full of energy and kept pestering Mii-chan for attention.
I ordered cat food for Mii-chan and the beautiful cat family, while the rest of us placed individual orders. I went with the A lunch, and Perro and Sera both ordered A and B lunches. Truly, the appetite of these gluttonous monsters is something else.
“Mii~”
