For example, his unique position between humans and monsters leads him to scavenge the corpses of adventurers and take their weapons. He first encountered the great sage Fels 13 years ago and received his financial support, etc.
"Our existence is neither accepted by the monsters of the dungeon nor will it be slaughtered by humans. Fortunately, we have Uranus' help, which allows us to find a glimmer of hope for survival in the dungeon."
The black cat, holding Mamenosuke, asked, "So, based on your activity patterns, you shouldn't be heading to the upper levels, right? Why did you choose to save me?"
Little Red Riding Hood Wright, hands on her hips, said:
"That's of course investigating unusual events in the dungeon. We've received assistance from Uranus, and in return, we'll help them monitor the dungeon. Any unusual changes, such as the appearance of enhanced species or the collapse of floors, need to be reported and dealt with."
"In human terms, this is an equivalent exchange."
Lei added:
"As guardians, we have a reason to investigate the two-hour-long riot of killer ants that occurred in the upper levels."
The black cat nodded, seemingly understanding.
Rei didn't say that at first, she treated the black cat as a villain who enslaved heretics, but after careful observation, she found that Mame-no-suke did not have a collar. Whether fighting or protecting the black cat, it was all out of his own will. This made Rei's impression of the black cat rise sharply.
This was the first time they had taken the initiative to show goodwill to humans. When they saw the black cat and Mame no Suke working together, Rey and the others were truly moved. They had never seen such a feeling of mutual trust and tacit cooperation before.
If the black cat knew what Rei was thinking, it would probably complain:
This foodie was completely attracted by Shaga's catnip and cat wine; she's a total foodie.
The group entered the dark cave, and at a moment, the torches around them suddenly lit up.
“Rei, I think you need to give me an explanation as to why you brought humans here.”
A gargoyle flew down from the ceiling, its fierce gaze fixed on the black cat.
Rei smiled and said, "Gross, get ready. We're going to have a banquet to welcome our new compatriots and friends from the earth."
Upon hearing this, the heretics hiding in the shadows all poked their heads out, and they smiled as they looked at Mame no Suke in the black cat's arms.
Mame-no-suke jumped out of the black cat's embrace and wandered freely among the heretics as if surveying his territory.
Finally, she jumped onto Guros's head and said in a domineering tone:
"Excellent, you all have very good aptitude!"
Guros rolled his small eyes, thinking to himself, "Isn't this new compatriot a bit too bold?"
He looked at Lei Yi and asked:
“I roughly understand the reason, but that human…”
"This is our first step in interacting with humans! Lord Mamenosuke has been recognized by a certain god and has become part of his kin."
"Are you telling the truth?" another voice asked.
Lizard Warrior Reid pushed aside his comrades surrounding Mame-no-suke and stepped forward.
He asked in an extremely excited tone:
"Are they really family members, or just assistants or something like that?"
The black cat explained, "We are the Astrea Familia, and justice knows no race!"
According to the goddess's philosophy, even if you have made mistakes, as long as you are willing to repent and continue to be a good person, you can be forgiven.
"Great!"
Lid slapped Guros hard across the face, then shouted to all his compatriots:
"We've heard some great news today! Fellow countrymen, get the food ready, let's have a feast!"
Gaining recognition, rather than assistance, was a huge step forward for the heretics. Although Uranus assisted them and Ganesha was responsible for propaganda, neither of them considered the heretics as one of their own.
The former are partners, while the latter are more distant.
Nowadays, it is such an honor that some families are willing to treat their compatriots as family.
Amidst the commotion of all the heretics, the banquet began.
One by one, the heretics introduced themselves to the black cat: the unicorn rabbit riding a hellhound; the straightforward and beautiful snake woman; the outwardly cold but inwardly sensitive stone dragon, Guros; and the passionate, love-struck half-bird, Fly…
Each heretic has their own personality and quirks, and to the black cat, they are no different from humans.
Unlike the local forces in Danmaku, the Black Cat did not experience thousands of years of being ravaged by monsters, so it did not have any innate hatred background and could get along with them without any grudges.
Rather, it would be more accurate to say that talking monsters like the Songbird and Hellhound are the same kind of monsters to the Night Demon Queen, who is already burdened with demonic energy.
During the introductions, drinks and food were prepared. The black cat took the mushrooms roasted by hellhound flames and many unique fruits from the dungeon and ate them with relish.
Beside the campfire, the snake woman swayed her slender waist and danced gracefully, Rei contributed her beautiful singing voice, goblins and many humanoid monsters kept the beat, and Mame-no-suke squatted on Gross's head, meowing incoherently.
She seemed to sense that as long as she stepped on this silly creature, she could rule the tribe!
Reed squinted, grinned to reveal sharp teeth, and approached, holding a wooden wine glass in his hand.
"Dear Black Cat, this kid is offering you a toast~"
The black cat stared at the wine-red liquid in the wooden bucket and swallowed.
The Sakura Empire still adheres to laws from decades ago, prohibiting minors from drinking alcohol, but curiosity led her to take the glass.
Lid smiled and said, "Cheers!!"
"Cheers, cheers!"
"Hiccup~"
The black cat followed suit, tilting its head back and gulping down its drink. Naturally, its face turned red instantly, and it even let out a burp.
"Hahaha. Black Cat, you can't hold your liquor."
"What?!" The black cat blushed, stared at Reed with a dazed look in its eyes for a moment, and then swayed as it stood up.
With a crooked, one-legged stance, he loudly retorted: "I am the Fallen Saint Black Cat of Chiba, the master of the eternal night, how dare you say I am no good!"
"If you anger me, watch out, I'll curse you!! *hiccup*"
Before she could finish her sentence, she hiccuped and collapsed to the side.
Lei quickly steadied her: "Night Demon Queen, what is that? Is Miss Black Cat very powerful among humans?"
"Meow!"
Mame-no-suke jumped onto the black cat's head, tilted his head back, and shouted:
"The Night Demon Queen is my other half!"
"I am a descendant of Behemoth, the heir to the cursed black wind! I am Mame-no-suke! You dark kin who seek the light, offer your loyalty to your king!"
"With me, Lord Meow, here, I will surely lead you all to conquer the land and let the veil of eternal night shroud the world!! Meow hahahaha~"
"Foolish humans, tremble beneath the paws of the cat!"
"Meow haha, hahaha!"
"Exactly!" The black cat seized the opportunity, striking a heroic entrance pose with Mame-no-suke and shouting:
"My other half will reign over the eternal night, acting as the Queen of Night, and be crowned king at this moment!!"
"Gentlemen! Let's fire a salute to the birth of the new king!!"
The heretics stared at each other, then Guros looked at Reid and whispered:
"What's happening here?"
"In my memory, it seems to be what the gods called 'chuunibyou'?"
Lei said worriedly, "Miss Black Cat seems to be drunk."
Fei'er came over, her wings tucked behind her back, and said with a smile, "This looks like a lot of fun! Let's join in!"
"Chirp!"
The rabbit Aruru had already knelt down in front of the black cat and Mame-no-suke, bowing her head in worship.
This person knows how to have fun.
And so, the heretics, with faces full of affection, surrounded the black cat and Mame-no-suke, all kneeling down and bowing in deep reverence:
"We offer our loyalty for the birth of the new king!!"
Amidst the constant compliments, the black cat forgot that it still had very important things to do!
She racked her brains for a long time but couldn't remember what it was. As the alcohol gradually numbed her brain, she slapped her forehead.
"It's something I'll forget anyway, so it probably isn't important!"
Chapter 125 Bai: What does "cleaning the gun" mean?
Early morning, the entrance to the underground city.
Shaga leaned against the wall, waiting quietly.
A moment later, the Blank Squad, looking somewhat disheveled, passed through the cave entrance and returned to the surface.
"Yo, welcome back. What made our great Blank God so disheveled? Let me guess? Were you set up?"
Kong glanced at the scrapes on his body, looked at 'Black Cat' and said, "Looks like you had this planned all along."
Xia Jia glanced at the black cat, seemingly unintentionally, and said, "Come on, let's talk."
