Legends of Runeterra

"Mmm~! It smells so good... One more... One more..."

"Plop~!"

The wooden barrel filled with dried fish tilted and overturned due to the shaking of the ship and the tossing of the creatures inside the barrel.

A pile of dried fish poured onto the ground, and at the same time a furry little creature rolled out.

With smooth blue and white fur, erect ears, and round blue eyes, it is obviously a very beautiful kitten.

"Haaa~!"

The kitten raised its front paws, which were like white gloves, rubbed its eyes, opened its mouth and yawned.

"Bang~!"

The rocking of the ship caused the barrel to roll and hit a pillar in the cabin.

“Wow~!!”

The kitten was so frightened that it quickly jumped up, and golden magic surrounded its body, making it float in the air.

Only then did it notice its surroundings, and its confused look turned into panic.

"Huh? Where is this? Grimoire! Are you there?"

"Whoa~ whoa~!"

Along with the sound of turning pages, a magic book made of dried bark, the pages of which split from the middle to both sides, flew towards the cat from the corner like flapping wings.

"Grimoire, how could this happen!?"

The kitten cried like a human.

"Nothing bad ever happens to me when I take a nap!"

"Whoa~ whoa~!"

The magic book called the 'Grimoires' flipped quickly, and even though it couldn't speak like a cat, its annoyance could be felt.

"Okay, okay, it's my fault. I shouldn't have eaten my fill and then slept in a barrel full of dried fish."

"Whoa~ whoa~!"

"Yeah, you're right, Mojudian. We all hate water. We need to get out of here!"

The grimoire floated in front of the kitten, and it stretched out its paw and quickly flipped through it, and a frosted page appeared in front of it.

“It’s wet everywhere, it’s a nightmare here.

We have to escape to somewhere, anywhere, even if it's cold!"

"Om~!"

A portal opened, and the kitten sat on the open magic book, preparing to go in.

"what!!!"

The screams came through the wood and into the cabin like the sound of silver bells and the brightest rainbow.

The fur on the kitten's back suddenly exploded.

"That's the cry of the Yodel!"

The kitten flew to the wooden board and looked through the gap.

Two human sailors, one with a beard and the other chubby, dragged a Yodel to the edge of the deck.

Behind them followed seven or eight sailors, their clothes in tatters and their hair greasy in wisps.

They had malicious smiles on their faces, revealing their mouths full of rotten teeth.

Around the deck were piles of harpoons, rods, spears, and coils of heavy fishing line.

Obviously, this is a configuration for hunting deep-sea monsters.

"I say, can this little thing help us catch valuable sac-throat fish?"

"Of course. I heard that the biggest fish love to eat yordle flesh. Let's get started. There aren't many yordles in Bilgewater. I was lucky to discover his disguise!"

"Okay, come on!"

At the fat sailor's urging, the two men tied up the struggling blue-haired Yodel.

“I’m not bait!

Please, let me go!"

The Yodel's plea did not win any mercy from the two men. He was tied to a fishhook made of fine iron. The bearded sailor quickly turned the capstan, and the fishing rod designed specifically for sea monsters slowly turned to the surface of the sea.

“Uwaa ...

The Yordle cried out in panic, tears filled with magic running down his furry face and dripping into the ocean below.

Not long after.

"Boom~!"

Along with the violent shaking, a dull sound came from the bottom of the ship, as if the ship had hit some huge object.

A huge dorsal fin emerged from the water and circled around the ship.

"coming!"

The bearded sailor reminded in a low voice, and everyone held the harpoons tightly in their hands, with such great strength that their fingers turned slightly white.

While everyone's attention was focused on the dorsal fin, the kitten came out of the cabin, crouched on the ground, and approached quietly like a hunter.

As it passed the group of harpoons, a nervous sailor casually turned his head and saw the kitten and the magic book floating beside it.

"what is that?"

"Raccoon? And a flying book!?"

"Stupid, that's a cat, catch them!!!"

The bearded sailor dropped the harpoon in his hand and pounced on the kitten.

Such a beautiful cat and that flying magic book are much more valuable than a complete sac-throat fish.

As long as he could catch these two, he would no longer have to fight on this stinking fishing boat for the rest of his life.

"Hahaha~! I'm the most magical cat, don't try to catch me!

Go, go, go!"

The sailors rushed at the kitten, but it cheered and nimbly moved between their feet.

Every time it passes a person, it unfolds a ball of golden magic thread, wraps it around their legs, and finally gently pulls them with its little claws.

"Plop~Plop~!"

The sailors stumbled like teacups knocked over on the table. The unlucky ones hit their heads on the railing and fainted, while the rest struggled but were entangled in the golden magic thread and could not move.

"How about the Grimoire? I'm awesome, right?"

"Whoa~ whoa~!"

"Oh yeah, that Yodel!"

The kitten jumped lightly onto the fence next to the fishing rod.

"Help! Someone save me!!"

"Don't worry my friend, Yuumi is here~!"

Yuumi stepped on the fishing rod and walked quickly towards the Yodel.

The waves were rolling violently below, and the huge monster in the water seemed to be ready to pounce at any time.

But Yumi was not nervous at all, and even her small, sharp claws stretched out involuntarily.

It's a cat, and it's not afraid of any fish, no matter how big it is.

With the last few steps, Yuumi jumped lightly and landed accurately on the Yodel's shoulder.

"Okay, let me think about how I can untie the ropes on you. After all, I don't have any fingers."

"Bang~!"

The water splashed, and a sac-throat fish one-third the size of a ship rushed out of the sea.

The mouth filled with hundreds of sharp teeth, big enough to swallow two cows in one gulp, bit towards the Yodel, Yuumi, and the Grimoire.

“Help! Aaaaaaah~!”

The moment the Yodel screamed, Yuumi quickly blew out a magic shield.

"Boom~!"

Red lightning cut through the air and hit the sac throat fish directly.

"Crackling~!"

The fish scales exploded, and the huge body of the sac-throat fish instantly stretched straight.

“Plop~Splash~!”

The waves falling into the water directly pushed the fishing boat sideways several meters.

Then the sac-throat fish floated to the surface with its belly turned upside down, and a faint burnt smell wafted through the air.

"Wow! Great! It's grilled fish!"

Yumi cheered in surprise and pounced on the floating sacfish.

"Bang~!"

"Ouch! Grimoire, what are you doing?"

"Whoa~ whoa~!"

As the magic book was flipping rapidly, Yumi looked back curiously.

A man with black hair and black eyes was placing a blue yordle on the deck of a fishing boat.

Yumi twitched her little pink nose.

"Human, you smell so good!

Can you touch my chin and my back?

Don’t touch other places, meow~!”

Looking at the cat that jumped in front of him, Li En gave a gentle smile.

"Of course, but before that, can you let me untie this Yodel friend?"
