“Are you really that girl earlier? You look different for some reason. But still, I don’t feel any magical energy from you. I have no reason to be afraid of you.”“Is that so? I don’t like this place at all can we fight in another place.”Akane said.“That arrogance of yours… I would like to destroy it…”Before Eriko finished her sentence. Akane grabbed her face and kick the ground. Leaping to the sky. Piercing the sky. Akane turned her body around throwing Eriko on full force down to the place where they battled earlier.Eriko landed in crushing sounds. It’s destroyed the rocky mountains. An explosion-like sound echoed.Akane landed with her feet. On her hand is her strongest weapon Excaliber. This time Akane is planning on battling Eriko with only one sword.Akane in fact grows incredibly powerful but she knows how to be cautious this time. She won’t let her stupidity and arrogance ate her once again. With all her seriousness she came prepared to confront Eriko.“How is that possibl
I wasn’t sure if Misa knew these kids, but judging by the fact that she hid behind me…"Nicole…""Big Sis Nicole…""………"Noticing Misa’s behavior, Marie and Noa also grabbed onto my suit. At this rate, I wouldn’t be able to move if something were to happen."Don’t worry, I’ll protect you no matter what happens. That’s why, just in case if something does happen, please let go of my suit for now."They all obediently let go of it.Things would have definitely gotten messy if I had tried to move around while they were grabbing onto me."And here I thought I just saw some weirdly dressed person, but you were standing right next to them, Misana. Are you taking this weird Cat out for a walk?"One of the boys said, making the others laugh.Crap, it had been a while since I wanted to hit someone so badly.There would be trouble if I hit a noble, though.It would be okay if I was the only one who got into trouble, but Gran might end up being blamed for it as well. Also, Marie, Noa, and Misa we
When we returned to Gran ’s mansion, Meshun came out to greet us."Welcome back. I didn’t expect you to return so quickly.""We ran into a bit of trouble."Meshun stared at me.It wasn’t my fault, okay.Well, they had noticed us because of me…"We ran into an annoying brat called Randall, from the Salbert family. We came back early because of him."We had wanted to stroll around for a while longer, but none of us had been in the mood after that encounter.Meshun ’s smile disappeared when I mentioned Randall."Randall-sama, you say? Did he do something to you?""He harassed Misa."Meshun quickly turned to Misa."Misana-sama, did he hurt you?""Big Sis Nicole protected me, so I’m okay.""I see. Nicole, thank you very much for protecting Misana-sama."Meshun said with a deep bow."So, the families really don’t get along, huh?""Sadly, yes. Our relationship has been bad for a few years now, but it got even worse recently, especially Randall-sama’s remarks towards Misana-sama.""Has nobody
"I’ve got bad news, Gran-sama!"Meshun said after rushing into the room with a pale face."What happened?!""The head chef Botts was attacked and is badly injured.""………""………"Gran and Cliff were both lost for words for a while."How’s his condition? Will he be okay?""His wounds are currently being treated.""Where is he? Take me to him."Gran left the room with Meshun , leaving Cliff and me behind."It has come to that, huh."Cliff murmured to himself."What do you mean?""Like I told you earlier, many influential people have been invited to Gran ’s party so that we can try and get them on our side. Now, the head chef is injured and will most likely be unable to cook for us, meaning we won’t be able to serve food at the party. We’ll have to postpone the party, which will ruin Gran ’s image.""Why don’t you just call in some other chefs?""Botts worked as an assistant head chef at a first-class restaurant in the capital. A regular chef is no good for such a grand party. If we cannot
I was sleeping nicely until something soft began tapping my face.As I opened my eyes, I saw Shirone’s paw in front of me.Oh right, I had to leave first thing in the morning today.I looked out the window and saw it was still dark."Thank you, Shirone."I thanked Shirone and petted its head before getting out of bed.Doing so, I woke up Marie, who sat up immediately."Big Sis Nicole, are you leaving now?""Oh, did I wake you up? I’m sorry, Marie. You can sleep in a bit more.""No, I wanted to see you off, so I asked Kurone to wake me up too."I was pleasantly surprised by her response.I thanked her and changed into my usual Black Cat maid outfit."Well then, I’m leaving now. If something happens, call me using your Cat Phone, and I will return as quickly as I can. Otherwise, please wait for me here without going outside since that could be dangerous."I felt a bit anxious knowing I wouldn’t be around for a while. Well, as long as they stayed inside the mansion, they should be fine.
After getting permission from the king, I headed to the royal kitchen.For some reason, the king himself accompanied me instead of Eleanora .It was because of the conversation Eleanora and the king had."Eleanora, I’ll accompany her, so you can get back to work.""Wha-Why? I can escort her, no problem.""No, you should return to your work. It’s better for me to tag along, so I can explain the situation to Zelef.""My job right now is patrolling the castle, and I can easily stop by the kitchen to explain it to him in your stead.""What about the matter from the other day, Eleanora-sama?"The man next to the king asked Eleanora ."Not done yet, Zangu."Eleanora averted her eyes while replying."I asked you to treat it as an urgent matter, didn’t I?"The man, who seemed to be named Zangu, asked her nicely but firmly."Ugh, I get it. Nicole, see you later. Let me know if this guy says anything weird to you.""Please return here as quickly as you can, Father, and don’t run off like you us
I continued to put away all the ingredients Zelef was passing to me into the Cat Box.The amount of the ingredients he gave me was huge, but it was better to take everything we could, rather than having him panic because we didn’t bring enough.Anyway, the Cat Box didn’t get any heavier no matter how much I put inside."Mind if we also drop by the wine cellar? Serving wine at a noble party is a big necessity."Wine, huh? I didn’t know much about noble parties, but from what I had read in manga and novels, it did seem that wine was always present. I could clearly imagine nobles drinking wine from fancy glasses.Once we collected all the required ingredients from the storeroom, we headed down into the wine cellar, where Zelef pointed out which wine I should put into the Cat Box.Hmm, I didn’t drink alcohol, so I couldn’t tell if it was of good quality or not just by looking at it.Well, I couldn’t tell the difference even if I drank it…"Do we have everything now?"I asked as I put away
In the early morning, the sun shone onto my eyes and woke me up. I had rested well, settled in between Kurone and Shirone.Morning already, huh. Luckily, we had gone to sleep early, so I woke up easily."Good morning, you two."I greeted Kurone and Shirone then got up.Sleeping between my Cats felt nice, but snuggling up in a bed was still the best.Zelef stirred in his blanket next to me, most likely woken by me."Good morning, Nicole.""Morning. Let’s eat breakfast and then head out quickly.""Okay."We ate a simple breakfast, packed up, and headed out in no time.I looked at the Cat Map and saw that we were already getting close.Based on the distance we had already traveled, we should arrive at noon as long as nothing happened."Zelef , are you feeling okay? You’re not too tired, are you?""I’m fine. Riding on your Cats is comfortable unlike horseback, where I get all sore in a couple of hours. I’m not feeling tired at all."Yeah, it seemed like everything would be fine as long as
