In the first battle, Shaka used all his trump cards, suffering serious injuries to his arms and legs, and even cracks in his ribs.
Before he could finish speaking, a violent cough broke out.
“Don’t speak, Mr. Shaga. We’ll be in the city soon.” Ming quickened his pace slightly, his steps steady, and a guilty voice escaped his throat:
"I'm sorry, you were so badly injured because of us."
“No need to apologize. Didn’t I already say that I chose to fight for the honor of my clan?” Shaka said with relief. “Besides, if you hadn’t come back, I would already be dead.”
"But……"
Xia Jia's heart skipped a beat.
Thinking back to the fermented rice wine incident in the Far East, I realize I've never encountered anyone like the Astrea Familia before.
Therefore, the proposal was made as follows:
"I really feel bad. In the future, I would appreciate it if you could teach the children of our clan to fight."
"it is good."
Fate did not refuse, and the two returned to the sword-making city under the cover of night.
The city gate.
Astraea, Cecil, Sakura, and others prepare to leave the city to rescue people.
"They're back! They're back!" the bird shouted joyfully.
Astraea and Cecil breathed a sigh of relief.
Takemikazuchi also smiled.
"Quickly, take Mr. Xia Jia to the treatment room first."
The group hurriedly carried Xia Jia to the hospital and used the money they earned from this commission to buy high-grade elixirs to save his life.
Soon, Xia Jia's mental state improved significantly, but the fractured bone still required a few days of rest.
This is thanks to the adventurers' incredible vitality.
Takemikazuchi, along with Sakura and the others, bowed deeply to Shaka in apology: "We're so sorry, thank you so much this time. Here's the remaining payment for the commission, please accept it."
It was rare to see a deity bowing to a child in the mortal realm, and even using honorifics.
Shaga accepted the payment without hesitation; it was a full 10 fali, no small sum.
Sakura added, "Because of our discovery of the monster tide, the city has increased the rewards for quests. The city is now under martial law, and soon they should be sending out troops or hiring high-level adventurers to deal with it."
He promised, "I will fulfill my promise to Lord Shaga as soon as possible."
Everyone bowed again and then returned to their lodgings. Chigusa also needed care; the child was more seriously injured.
on the way back.
Shaga looked at Cecil with embarrassment:
"I'm sorry, the armor and weapons you lent me are broken. I'll return them to you with the money I just gave you when I get back."
Cecil's eyebrows furrowed, and she kicked Shaga in the backside in displeasure.
"Damn it! Why don't you just die out there! What kind of time is this and you're still thinking about money?"
She puffed out her cheeks and said softly:
"If the quality of the work is not up to standard, that's my problem. I'll compensate you for the losses caused by the new equipment tomorrow."
Cecil's equipment was already good enough, and Shaga was well aware of this. The fact that it was damaged was simply because Shaga was reckless.
But looking at the sullen girl, he understood that she was just being difficult.
Oh dear, being a tsundere isn't just a matter of being relegated to a lower position; you'll end up as a loser, girl.
Cecil's Blacksmith Shop.
"I am back."
Xia Jia and the others slowly pushed open the door and were immediately stunned.
The first thing you see is Lulu lying face down on the table, with red liquid dripping from the corner of her mouth, looking like a crime scene.
Xia Jia stepped forward and checked Lulu's breathing: "She's fine, she's asleep."
The next second, a scream came from the kitchen.
The group gathered around and discovered in the kitchen's storage room a large, black, unidentified creature with a protruding belly, its face covered in oil, lying sprawled out in a large backpack.
The surrounding area was littered with various scraps of vegetables, meat, and grains, resembling a large-scale demolition site.
"Cecil, do we have a husky at home?"
"What husky?"
Cecil was initially bewildered, then his anger flared up, and he roared, "Mame-no-suke!"
Call me Lord Meow Meow!
The kitten rolled over in pain, let out a burp, and made a meowing sound.
But soon, this person realized...
[Oh my god, the big devil is back! The escape plan failed! It's all because of those damn dried fish, potato balls, braised beef, egg pancakes, cheese bread, sausages...]
[It's not too late to leave now. That hellhound has been taken down, and now Master Meow is invincible.]
I was just about to run away.
Mame-no-suke slumped over: [Ugh, I'm so full, I feel nauseous, I can't walk anymore.]
Xia Jia walked over, picked up the dark, fuzzy thing, and the two stared at each other: "What is that? A big black rat?"
[Foolish humans, I am the Lord of the Night, the second? Third? Fourth strongest executive among the great beings who rule the Abyss!]
“It’s a black cat, a black cat.” Cecil snatched the cat away and rubbed it in his hands.
"What does this have to do with black cats?"
“Hey, Ruri’s black cat—Mame-no-suke.” Cecil said, holding up Mame-no-suke, whose face was contorted in pain and who was clearly stuffed.
"Oh?"
Astraea stepped forward and briefly told Shaka about Mame-no-suke...
"This guy……"
Xia Jia looked on with suspicion, her gaze falling on the crime scene on the ground.
Lulu is still asleep, and she exudes an aura of curse, clearly the work of this black cat, and before that...
Murder in the hotel basement.
The two are linked together.
But why is this guy in front of me not quite the same as I expected?
"You bastard, you were trying to run away before, weren't you!" Shaka stared intently at Mame-no-suke, who was sprawled out on the table, surrounded by onlookers.
"Meow." Mamenosuke made a confused expression.
"We meet again, old friend. Your affair has been exposed."
Xia Jia crossed his arms and stood guard.
【What?!】
Mamenosuke's ears perked up, and he turned to look at Shaka.
Everyone looked on with confusion as Xia Jia spoke to a cat.
Xia Jia slapped Lulu awake, then said, word by word:
"Remember that merchant guild we investigated before? Ten mercenaries died in the cellar."
Cecil looked shocked: "You actually investigated this kind of thing behind my back!"
Girl, something's wrong with you.
Why do you act like you've caught your husband cheating?
Xia Jia coughed and continued, "The creature that attacked us and fled the scene was a cat-like monster, and at least level 2."
Four pairs of eyes were fixed on Mame-no-suke.
Mame-no-suke scratched his head with his front paws and licked his fur.
Cecil turned his head, his face full of worry: "Shaga, are you injured in the head? Do you need to go to the hospital for another check-up? I can pay for it for you first."
roll.
Xia Jia, confident in his abilities, pointed at Mame no Suke in front of him and said, "Stop pretending, I know you can talk."
"Hmph, I actually discovered your identity a long time ago. There's just one thing I don't understand."
Xia Jia looked distressed and said incredulously:
"You clearly knocked Lulune down, so why didn't you sneak away? And you even showed off all our food?"
