I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

But where did these Merlin cats get all this rice?

Of course, Milia wasn't worried about whether the rice was stolen from a caravan by the Meru Cat or from somewhere else, because Milia had never heard of the Meru Cat robbing caravans or stealing rice.

If it's about stealing the wood-flowering celery from Milia, then you can believe it.

...........

Soon, Milia thanked them and picked up the wooden bowl and spoon containing the porridge to eat. She took a small sip of the steaming hot porridge and immediately tasted a flavor that was like fruit.

"Hmm? It smells...like fruit?"

Milia looked at the vegetable and meat porridge in her hand with a puzzled expression. She clearly couldn't see anything that looked like fruit in the porridge, but she could taste the flavor of fruit, which puzzled Milia greatly.

However, after eating for a while, Milia finally realized what tasted like meat.

The minced meat in the porridge tastes like fruit. Could it be that the minced meat was marinated with some kind of fruit juice or something before it was added?

With this question in mind, Milia decided to finish her porridge first, as it would be more respectful to the cook. After finishing the porridge, Milia put down her wooden bowl, and the origami grandma standing nearby, holding a wooden spoon, asked Milia:

"Miss Hunter, would you like another bowl, meow?"

Milia, feeling her stomach screaming "I want to eat! I want more!", blushed slightly and said to Grandma Origami:

"Thank you for your help. You can just call me Milia, thank you."

"Grandma Origami, another bowl, please!"

Upon hearing Yuhaka's voice, Milia looked at Yuhaka, who was squatting to the side with a large bowl in his hand. His face was covered in rice and minced meat, and his big tail was wagging like a dog's.

Seeing this scene made Milia want to wipe Yuhaka's mouth with a handkerchief, but after Yuhaka noticed Milia's gaze, he quickly stuck out his tongue and licked away the rice grains and meat scraps from his mouth.

???

Milia looked at Yuhaka with a puzzled expression. She thought she had seen Yuhaka's tongue was a little long, but she forgot about it after Origami Grandma handed her a bowl of vegetable and meat porridge.

After eating her fill, Milia let out a breath, rubbed her tummy, and felt the warmth from the hot porridge making her want to take off her clothes. Although there was only Merlin here, it was still impolite to take off one's clothes in someone else's house, so Milia just fanned herself.

After the meal, Milia was led by Yuhaka to a tent, where she saw an old Merlin cat leaning on a cane. Milia guessed that this Merlin cat with the cane was the village chief of this Merlin cat village.

As Milia had predicted, this Meru Cat turned out to be the village chief of Water Cave Village.

"Hello, Miss Milia, meow. I am the village chief of this Water Cave Village, meow. It's so great to see that you've recovered so quickly, meow."

Milia nodded to the Merucat village chief of Water Cave Village, scratched her head, and said:

"Hello, village chief. I was able to recover so quickly thanks to your medicine. By the way, village chief, do you know how long I've been unconscious?"

In response to Milia's words, the village chief of Merlin looked at Milia and said to her:

"About a day, right? What's wrong, meow?"

Hearing what the village chief, Melcat, said, Milia breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at him and said:

"Then could you please send another Merlin to the Hunter's Guild in Scylla Town to report that a Glavenus has been discovered in Hunting Ground #xxx and that a hunter of HR6 or higher is needed to hunt it down?"

Chapter 64 [Question: What did it say?]

"call..."

Relieved, Milia lay down on the haystack. After informing the village chief of Water Cave Village, Melcat Village Chief, about the dangers of slaying the dragon, Melcat Village Chief also agreed to Milia's request.

Most importantly, since the dragon slayer can no longer climb up the cliff below the waterfall, Milia can wait with peace of mind for the Hunter's Guild to defeat the enemy's dragon slayer, after which she can return to the town of Scylla without worry.

Of course, Milia wasn't worried that the Hunter's Guild wouldn't care about slaying the dragon. After all, there were many HR3-level hunters carrying out missions in the surrounding hunting areas, and the progress of these hunters' missions could affect the lives of the residents of the town of Scylla, which was close to this hunting area.

"Now all I have to do is slack off..."

As Milia lay on the haystack, she wondered what exactly Yuhaka's identity was, living here with a group of Meru cats.

Milia was quite certain that Yuhaka's tail didn't look like a Merlin's tail, although its ears were just like any other cat's ears.

Although I've never seen a creature like Yhaka, who is half dragon and half human.

...............

While Milia was on their side, Yuhaka and Rorota arrived outside Scylla Town via the Deep Groove Bug Path and then informed the Hunter Guild Master of Scylla Town through the Meru Cat's special passage.

The Hunter's Guild Master looked a bit troubled, rubbed his temples, and said:

"They've already gotten this close... It seems we must order the annihilation of that dragon-slaying monster."

There's no way to defeat it. The Dragon Slayer is an extremely vengeful monster. If you provoke that monster with the terrifying big tail, it will chase you to the ends of the earth.

Then, as if remembering something, the Hunter's Guild Master looked at Yuhaka and the others and said:

"By the way, how is the hunter who was attacked by the dragon now?"

After hearing the guild leader's words, Rorota nodded and said to the guild leader:

"Well, please don't worry, Grandpa Guild Master. That Hunter Miss's physical condition is completely fine now, meow. I must say, that Hunter Miss's recovery speed is truly amazing, meow."

Hearing Rorota's words, the Hunter's Guild Master was relieved. He had also learned from Rorota about the hunter named Milia, who was one of the Hunter's Guild's key targets. After all, she was the daughter of the Scrivener Hunter Couple. Even disregarding her parents, Milia was a very promising prospective member of the Scrivener Hunters, and the Hunter's Guild Master didn't want the town of Scylla to lose such a talent.

"Don't worry about that hunter lady, our Hunter's Guild will definitely slay that dragon. Could you please take care of her for now, Rorota? Of course, our guild will also offer some compensation."

Hearing the Hunter's Guild Master's words, Lorota was a little puzzled. Could the hunter named Milia be an important figure? Despite her doubts, Lorota nodded and assured the Hunter's Guild Master:

"Yes, our Meru cats from Water Cave Village will take good care of that hunter lady."

Soon after concluding his meeting with the Hunter's Guild Master, Rorota left with Yuhaka, who was still reluctant to leave and munching on some snacks. Watching Rorota and Yuhaka depart, the Hunter's Guild Master called to his secretary and handed her a prepared letter, saying:

"Give this letter to a hunter wearing Qilin armor in a restaurant called 'Cat Restaurant' in the east of town. Also, give this portrait to that hunter; she'll understand on her own."

The guild leader's secretary paused for a moment, then looked at the guild leader with a surprised expression and said:

"Guild Master! The hunter you mentioned wearing the Kirin armor isn't that... right?"

The Hunter's Guild Master nodded and said;

"Yes, that's the one..."

The guild master's secretary looked at the guild master with a strange expression and said:

"Um, President, does Miss Milia have a grudge against you? Aren't you afraid that he'll take advantage of her by letting that guy contact her?"

The Hunter's Guild Master looked at his secretary with a troubled expression and said:

"I have no choice. In the town of Scylla, there is only one person who can easily deal with a dangerous monster like the Dragon Slayer."

Well...although rumors say that guy is a pervert who likes young girls and furry little animals, I haven't heard of any victims or anything like that, and it's unlikely that Miss Milia would lose anything important. But I'm more worried about whether Miss Milia and the cats like Merlin will suffer any psychological trauma...”

Hearing what her Hunter Guild leader had to say, the secretary was at a loss for what to do and could only pray that Miss Milia and Meru were safe and sound... although she herself thought it was unlikely.

..................

In the town of Scylla, Yuhaka and Rorota went to the blacksmith shop of Eurodo, where they had last worked, to check on the progress of their weapons.

"Oh, you two have arrived. Your weapons have been repaired."

In the blacksmith's shop, blacksmith Eurodo handed a weapon that looked like a pickaxe to Yhwach. Yhwach, looking completely bewildered, accepted the brand-new Endless Hammer from Eurodo. Rorota, standing nearby, also looked at Eurodo with great confusion and said:

"Mr. Eulad, didn't you say last time that this weapon would take a few days to repair?"

Hearing Rorota's words, Eurodo didn't seem to care and waved his hand, saying:

"Yes, at first I also thought it would take a few days to repair or something, but after checking yesterday, I found that the explosive device of this weapon called [Endless Hammer] can be disassembled. As long as we replace the explosive device with a suitable weapon body, there will be no problem."

The blacksmith Eurodo pointed to a large pile of weapon parts behind him and said:

"I happen to have a lot of spare weapon parts, so making a suitable and explosion-resistant weapon shouldn't be a problem. All I need to do is install the explosive device inside, and there won't be any issues."

Yuhaka looked at the Endless Hammer in his hand, which resembled a battle axe, and gave an "OwO" expression, probably unsure of what to say.

Chapter 65 [The Lolicon Hunter Who Likes Fluffy Things]

Finally, Rorota paid the blacksmith Eurodo a labor fee. Eurodo explained that he was inspired by Yohaka's Endless Hammer and had a good weapon blueprint. Therefore, Eurodo waived the cost of weapon materials for Yohaka and the others, only requiring payment for the labor.

After paying the fee, Yhaka and Rorota left the blacksmith shop. Yhaka, wearing an Elf headgear, looked at the improved Endless Hammer in his hand with an excited expression.

The original Endless Hammer resembled a pickaxe, but the blacksmith Orodo improved it to resemble a battle axe. In addition to retaining the pickaxe-like part of the Endless Hammer, it also had an axe-like part on the other side. Orodo said that the original Endless Hammer, like a pickaxe, had a good ability to shatter monster shells, but its cutting ability was very poor.

So the blacksmith Orodo modified the Endless Hammer into a weapon resembling a battle axe. Orodo said that he originally wanted to turn the Endless Hammer into a switchblade, but unfortunately, due to a lack of materials, he could only modify it into a weapon that looked like a battle axe.

For Rorota, saving a considerable amount on material costs is quite good; the money saved can be used to buy some snacks for Yuhaka.

Yuhaka, on the other hand, looked completely bewildered.

..............

Just after Yuhaka and Rorota left the town of Skula, the president's secretary arrived at a cat restaurant in the eastern part of Skula. The president's secretary pushed up his glasses and walked into the restaurant with a nervous heart.

The secretary of the guild looked at the busy kitchen cats in the store and immediately knew what this cat restaurant was about. However, it was not uncommon for cat restaurants to be open. There were at least 12 cat restaurants in the town of Scylla, but this cat restaurant was the only one where all the employees were Palicoes.

That's one of its unique features, but for some furry lovers, it's a great place.

Upon seeing the guild master's secretary at the door, an Elf dressed in a maid outfit approached and said to the secretary:

"Meow? Guest? How can I help you?"

For a Palico who works here year-round, she can at least tell whether a customer is a hunter or something else. The person in front of her is probably not a hunter, but rather a merchant or an office worker from the Hunter's Guild.

The president's secretary coughed and said to an Elf dressed in a maid outfit:

"Ahem, excuse me, do you have a female hunter here wearing... uh... somewhat revealing armor with long white hair? And is she using dual swords?"

Upon hearing the president's secretary's words, the feline dressed in a maid outfit took a step back, looking wary, and said to the secretary:

"You! You! Are you in cahoots with that pervert, meow?!"

Upon hearing the words of the cat-like figure dressed as a maid, the guild master's secretary quickly waved her hand and said:

"No, no! I'm not interested in fluffy Palicoes! I was sent by the Hunter's Guild to discuss something with that hunter lady."

Hearing these words, the feline dressed in a maid outfit breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Meow...that's great, meow~"

Then, dressed in a maid outfit, the Elf bowed to the guild master's secretary and apologized, saying:

"I'm so sorry, sir, it was all a misunderstanding on my part, meow."

The president's secretary adjusted her glasses and said to the cat dressed in a maid outfit:

"Um... I didn't take it to heart. By the way, does your cat restaurant have a hunter like that?"

The waitress, who trembled slightly upon recalling a certain figure, nodded and said:

"Hey meow, would you like me to take you there?"
