The Black Tiger collapsed.

Even though I went easy on it, its ability to detect magic made this a difficult fight.

I managed to get its black fur though, so I was going to ask Marie to dismantle it when I returned.

"Nicole-san, did you defeat it?"

Shia came out of the thicket and asked timidly.

"Yes, I defeated it. It just took me a while to do it."

"I can’t believe it; you defeated a Black Tiger all by yourself…"

After Shia, Cattleya and others came out, too.

The four of them approached the collapsed Black Tiger. Aside from Shia, the other three were looking at the collapsed Black Tiger as if they couldn’t believe it. Swaying Cat and Hugging Cat came out after the students.

"Swaying Cat, Hugging Cat, thank you."

I gently stroked their necks when they approached me.

The wolves didn’t approach the students, and that was probably thanks to Swaying Cat and Hugging Cat.

I used detection magic to check where the wolves were, and saw them fleeing back into the forest in all directions. Did

    Someone knocked at the door."Who is it?"Shia, who was closest to the door, asked."It’s me.""Marcus?""I want to talk, so could you open the door?"Shia looked at us as if to say what should she do?"I don’t mind personally.""If you want, I can summon Swaying Cat and Hugging Cat.""That sounds good."Cattleya agreed, so I summoned Swaying Cat and Hugging Cat.*Pouf, pouf.*They landed cutely on my bed.Once the Cats were all settled in, Shia opened the door."So, why did you come here so late at night?""You see…"Marcus seemed to be having some problems saying it.Was this possibly… Confession time?The rumored event that often happened during school trips… Well, I had never went on any school trips, so I didn’t know if it really happened, but… I heard many couples were made on school trips. Was this practice training possibly similar to a school trip!?Would Marcus confess to Shia? Or Cattleya? Which one was it?I started paying attention to see what he would say."What is it?"

    For three days now, we had been traveling with the shaking carriage. We would arrive at the capital tomorrow. On our journey back, nothing had happened yet. The goblins we saw on our way to the village probably just tried to escape the Black Tiger. With the Black Tiger dead, there was no longer a reason for them to come on the road.We didn’t encounter any other monsters, either, so encountering those goblins was really just bad luck.It was a peaceful trip back home.Since the students already knew how strong I was, I had summoned Swaying Cat and Hugging Cat in their cub forms, only for the two of them to be hugged by Shia and Cattleya. The Cats had always been with me, so seeing them hugged by someone else made me a bit sad. Hmm, I would have never thought about something like this when I was still in Japan. This showed that Swaying Cat and Hugging Cat had really became my precious family members, unlike my real family.Well, this sadness would be gone tomorrow. We were about to arr

    We arrived at the capital. With that, the practice training was now finished.We passed through the gates and headed towards the academy. Like usual, the guard at the gates gave me a strange look when I showed him my guild card.Today, I would Marielly be able to return to Crimonia after a long time and sleep in my house, all thanks to the cat Transfer Gate, of course.The carriage soon arrived at the academy.A few carriages were already parked there.I only saw our carriage when we departed, so this meant that those were all from the other students who already came back, right?"My job is now finished, right?"I got out of the carriage and stretched."We still have to check in with the teachers."Oh right, Eleanora told me something like that.So troublesome."Jigurd, you are also going, right?""Yeah, we are, but please wait a minute."After we had joined up with Jigurd’s party on the road, we came back to the capital together.There was no reason to split up since our destination

    When I opened my eyes, I looked left and right, only to see Swaying cat and Hugging cat sleeping, curled up like two Manjuus. After caressing them for a bit, I took them back to my gloves.It is now easier to go there since I moved my house closer.When I entered the shop through the back door, I was greeted by the smell of freshly baked bread.Inside the room, Morin-san was baking bread with the help of several children. They were doing their best to knead the dough and make pudding."Nicole-chan, you’re back?""Yeah, I returned yesterday."Morin-san called out to me when she saw me enter while continuing to bake the bread.Hearing her voice, the children turned my way."I understand that you are all happy that Nicole-chan is here, but we still have a lot to do before we open the store, so don’t stop working!"Morin-san warned the children."You guys should listen to what Morin-san says and do your jobs properly, okay?"Being told so by Morin-san and me, the children returned to thei

    I woke up early in the morning, happily baking some treats for the children in the orphanage. I planned to sleep as much as I wanted, but my body woke early in the morning somewhat excited about the day. In short, I’m in an incredibly good mood.I put the tray in the oven with the cookie dough. Looked at my creation with satisfaction.I opened the window of my house. Outside were my two cats, familiar playing with each other, Shirone and Kurone.Seeing them in the giant form playing around kinda scared me. The possibility that they’ll accidentally crush my house is very high.I transformed them into their little form. They didn’t even notice and continued playing.While I waited for the cookies to be ready, I sat down on the couch I placed on my balcony. I took a sip of the coffee in my hand. Afterward, I lifted my eyes to the blue sky. Shifting my vision, I could see birds playing with each other and the colorful flowers around my house.Back on Earth, I never appreciated what is aro

    After receiving the letter from Shia I go ahead to the adventurers guild. Shia had the same sad face when I left her. Unable leave her without seeing her smile. I make sure that Shirone and Kurone will play with her for today.Lifting my head high up.I guess, there would be no danger in the city. I have no reason to you Shirone and Kurone.While I’m on my way to the guild, I remember Marie’s worried face. Like Shia, she seems to be against the idea of me going on a dungeon quest. I can understand their worries, but I have to do my responsibility as a high-rank adventurer.I reached the adventurer guild and go straight to the receptionist, Ellena.“Miss Nicole… Did you receive the letter?”“Yup.”I replied waving the letter and walking closer to her.“... This is my first-time dungeon exploring. I’m quite nervous.”“That was surprising to hear from the girl who solo defeat a black viper and black tiger on her own. After those achievements, you are ranked among the aces of the kingdom.

    I gulped my saliva while she continue to stare at me for the time being. The staring was brief but to me, it feels so long. My body is trembling and I can’t say anything. She could be an assassin after all. This is the first time I face real fear in this world. Next time I will make an oath that I won’t take off my combat cat maid outfit when going out.She closed her eyes briefly and have her eyes on me again.“I apologize… Some people share the same name. You must be one of those people. The Nicole I was looking for was a girl who was said to be a weirdo who loves wearing a cat-maid outfit.”She muttered.Is that what everyone thinks about me? Kids do like me. Is it because they think that I’m some kind of mascot? That’s a possibility.“... I got the wrong person I nearly have you killed. I apologize for causing you some trouble. Please don’t hate me.She bowed her head and not long after she leave without a trace.Just who is that woman?! She seems to be a woman in her mid-twenties

    As promised she arrived early in the morning. She is in full gear and ready to kick some butt. Meanwhile, I was fully equipped with my cat-maid outfit. She had her glanced at me with confusion.“Using my appraisal seems like your status number increased drastically with your cat maid suit equipped. What is with that outfit anyway?”“Well, this is a gift given by what we call god. I'm not sure though.”I replied.“Hmm, It's live my mother's seven-star sword.”Seven-star sword… What did she mean by that? Anyway, her name sure was strange. I know that she is from the country where I came from.“Big sister Nicole… Are you sure about this?”“It’s fine… Don’t think too much about it Marie… This weirdo just wants to fight with me. We don’t have any intention of killing each other.”I said.“That’s right little miss… I just want to know if the combat cat maid is truly strong.”“Before we start let's have some rules implemented.”“You’re right, the one who first gives up or knockout would be d

    Chapter 340: True happiness (END)

    I have a dream… A very very long dream. A dream about me in the past. For a weird girl like me, childhood is rough. My family wasn’t as caring, but still, I’m grateful for the life they gave me.Without them, I would be unable to experience everything I’ve been through.Life comes in many flavors. Sometimes it's sweet, sometimes it's bitter. Sour days always come and there is a stale, tasteless day of boredom.Back in Japan I only care about myself. I never thought that I would need someone at my side. I always think that I can do everything on my own.I keep proving that everyone else around me was wrong. I accumulate money and live alone. It was fun being able to do anything without someone yelling at you. This freedom and loop of happiness. Being a slave to pleasure is for sure. If not made moderate, it will surely destroy someone’s life.Where am I again? I see, I’m back in my house again.Waking up early in the morning, there as I wake up Marie and Shuri playing with Shirone and
