(118) Adventurers Guild’s Cat Sith
Translator: Tseirp
For the time being, I asked Pionia to harvest the wheat and construct our home.
I passed her the required materials, tree seedlings and cotton seeds (the items I requested Haru and Carol to buy).
Incidentally, I kept the other Homunculus inside the test tubes. According to Pionia, they do not establish an ego while inside the test tube so there’s no feeling like they are trapped.
If you ask me why I don’t want to increase the number of homunculus, it’s because I felt that it would be tiring trying to name them.
Marina could not move due to MP depletion so I had her rest in My World.
Why not let her rest on the bed in the inn?
There’s a special reason for that.
Anyway, after returning to Ferruit, we left the inn and headed to the Adventurer’s Guild.
The wandering adventurers have returned to the town but compared to before, there’s still an overwhelming lack of adventurers.
Because of that, it seemed like there’s a backlog of requests.
It looks like the sword and shield sign is universal and the Adventurer’s card Haru had could be used.
Most of the requests were for escorts. It seemed like there’s still a lingering fear of leaving the country despite having to replenish their stock.
In addition, there were also requests for the maintenance of the southern highway as well as monster extermination and the request for the removal of earth and sand was still there.
“Arresting bandits huh … ”
There was also information on bandits that only target food materials.
That kind of requests was called bounty requests and even without accepting the request, one could receive the bounty just by capturing and bringing them to the Adventurers Guild. Checking such information was required even for people who don’t intend to receive the request because they can evade danger by acquiring information on the criminals.
However, regarding this bandit, there weren’t any characteristic features written on the request apart from how the bandit only targets food.
It seems like many of those who traveled through the highway had their food stolen without them realizing.
I don’t know if it was actually stolen or not.
It’s a strange situation whereby there were no accounts of injuries and since it happens at a location that is two days walk from the town, there has also not been any cases of people starving to death from having their food stolen so it was a request that only grants the bounty for the live capture of the bandit. It was probably for the sake of investigating the method of stealing the food.
In the first place, since the opponent is a bandit, there probably wouldn’t be a penalty even if the bandit is killed.
It’s not that I actually plan to go on a bandit hunt but I’ll take note of it.
“Please nya! Please help nya!”
I heard the voice of a young girl. However, that voice was not directed towards me.
Nevertheless, because of that characteristic talking manner, I couldn’t help myself from looking over.
Until now, I’ve seen nothing but attractive beastwomen like Haru from the White Wolf race and Katyusha-san from the Brown Fox race but this time it’s cat ears? And so I unintentionally shifted my gaze over to her.
I’m by no means cheating. Yup, I sincerely love Haru and Carol but this is the nature of men. It can’t be helped.
Then, I looked at the owner of that voice and was at a loss for words.
Cat ears covered in fluffy black fur, cat whiskers that can be seen on the cheeks, a coiled cat’s tail, cute paw pads on the palms and above all else, the face, no matter how I look at it ― it’s the face of a black cat. Nothing like a cat girl.
It was a cat walking on two legs wearing green clothes.
She was larger than a regular cat but about the size of a mid-sized dog?
Unlike a well-groomed house cat, the unkempt fur gave her an air of a stray cat.
“That’s rare, for a Cat Sith to come to a place of human habitation.”
Carol muttered.
“Cat Sith?”
Hmm, I think I’ve heard of that before?
Of course, I’ve also heard of it on Earth. It’s a well-known character in games.
If I’m not mistaken, in a certain hilarious episode.
“Please nya! I need the strength of an Adventurer nya!”
“Like I said, you’re noisy! I’d rather not help and get turned into one of those Cat-users.”
A rugged Axe-user man said as he chased away the Cat Sith clinging onto his foot like she was a nuisance.
Ah, I remember now.
The Doujinshi seller, after his Silver Vine was snatched by a Cat Sith, his job was forcibly changed.
“There’s no such thing nya! If you come now I’ll treat you to an all-you-can-drink Silver Vine wine session nya!”
“Like I said I don’t want such a thing! Right, those kids there look free. Go ask them.”
The conversation suddenly turned towards us.
The Cat Sith looked at us and muttered with her eyes narrowed.
“They look weak nya.”
Yup, I’m definitely more of a dog person than a cat person.
Well, if it doesn’t concern us then it’s alright to ignore it.
She looks desperate but I rather not be involved in problematic issues.
Haru made a move just as I was thinking that.
She drew her two swords.
“Miss!”
Amidst the male guild receptionist’s voice, Haru’s sword was thrust towards the Cat Sith at the speed of light and moreover, it was done multiple times.
The Cat Sith couldn’t move from the immense fear.
Then ―
Cat Sith fur scattered and fell to the ground.
Just the parts of the fur that were long.
After the refreshing haircut, the Cat Sith’s appearance changed from the unkempt stray cat to a well-groomed house cat.
The Cat Sith lost herself in shock and wordlessly touched her own fur.
And then, she suddenly cried out in a loud voice like a dam was opened.
“A … amazing nya! What a swift and accurate Swordsman nya!”
The Cat Sith shouted excitedly.
“My master is even stronger.”
Saying that, Haru proudly ― her face was expressionless but her tail was proudly spinning ― looked at me.
When she said that, the Cat Sith made a big deal and approached us.
“Amazing nya! Please help me nya!”
She said.
I sense nothing but trouble.
Haru did that because she could not forgive the Cat Sith who made light of me but I’ll have to caution her later.
Well then, how shall I refuse?
That’s when the receptionist man approached,
“Just nice. If you receive her request, I will overlook the crime of her unsheathing her sword in the Adventurers Guild.”
And said that. My escape route was completely blocked.
” … Ha, first tell me the contents of the request.”
In conclusion, I reaffirmed that it was a troublesome affair where even if I want to avoid it, we would be surrounded and won’t be able to escape.

Are you a cat?
Fuurishie
could you use another/s nepu flag/tag/comment, please… this bodybuilder nepu comment had unsightly entered my line of vision… since almost 80-90% WN/LN we read are the same… (well, almost all novels I read had your comment in it…) @,@
Airian
Same for me (I don’t want this nepu to be propagated all over the chapters of the fantasy novels I read, it’s really disturbing…)
Anyway, thanks for the chapter (will the Cat Sith anounce new Cat-user or a new higher grade job: Nepu-user ? (a job conferred only to those who mastered the Way of the Cat (ּơ̑ළּơ̑))
Dogecore
You are litterally everywhere i go wtf?!
heinz5003
You get used to it since like me he’s the type to read isekai and fantasy type genres
Kamigoroshi
Thank you for the chapter! Please continue the hard work!
Philippe Spalla
thanks for the chapter.
MargoX37
Thanks for the chapter!!! Really appreciate it
Felipe
I’m curious to what kind of skill does a cat user have, since he can change his class anytime it would be good if they give him the cat user job
Shield Loyalist
Jobless would probably be overwritten if it’s a forced job change.
blade-kun
That would be really shitty if it does happen.
Haru still being proud after the trouble she caused is somehow both annoying and cute XD
Thanks for the chapter.

“Incidentally, I kept the other Homunculus inside the test tubes.”
“If you ask me why I don’t want to increase the number of homunculus, it’s because I felt that it would be tiring trying to name them.”
Shouldn’t homunculus be in plural(homunculi) in these sentences?
Random Internet User (tm)
Thank you kindly for the chapter!
Yoshiwa
I feel the presence of a certain Centaur in that bandit description.
Aurelious
Thanks for the chapter, been reading since the beginning throughout the entire day…I need to do something else…
Keep up the good work~
Annoyed
He’s not even part of the adventurer’s guild so why would he listen to the damn receptionist? Really, the author should’ve came up with a better excuse to advance the story.
Vik
But Haru is and she is his slave so he might be held responsible for her misdeeds.
TheyAreAdventurersForAReason
It’s literally a building full of adrenaline filled machos with weapons. The trouble isn’t going to be capital punishment. At best it’d be a reprimand.
Deadmilkmen
Yeah that’s a pretty idiotic way to start this whole scenario. It’s pretty out of character for Haru to do anything that would be detrimental to MC as well.
Abyssal
Thank you for the chapter~
Ahmad Ali Al Adlin
thanks for chapter…
OhMarioWV
Thanks for the chapter. Haru… she’s the cutest and the best swordswoman so far.
Irina_Akashira
thanks for the update
DMR
He should definitely get mad at Haru and punish her…. she needs to learn….
Though I’m pretty sure he won’t do so….
Thanks for the chapter XD
hayka
I agree with you there. Doing that on her own accord but then again, I guess it hurt her pride. Hearing her master being called weak.
death
oh he will punish her(in the sexul way that is)
natsukage
Gochisousama-desu…
Wait…wrong novel xD. Thanks for the hard work.
SFcipher
Thank you for the chapter.
TamaSaga
Receptionist-san…wait until my sister finds out what you did…
hayka
Ignore it still. Trouble with the guild isn’t anything compared with trouble that cat is gonna bring.
Megane-kun
Thanks
Seregosa
Yup, I’m definitely more of a dog person than a cat person.
Well, if it doesn’t concern us then it’s alright to ignore it.
WHAT!? Well, whatever. I grew up with dogs, but I’m probably more of a cat person even if I love both.

Thanks for the chapter.
StopTheseAnnoyingSamaritans
Why don’t you just walk around with a “I’ll Do Anything For Free But I’ll Pretend To Whine That I Don’t Want To” sign? Jeez. What does he think the punishment for pulling a sword in the Guild is going to be? Is he seriously that miserly? He doesn’t even ask the penalty and is prepared to help the total stranger. Wot M83
Darkoneko
A catgirl… not 😀 Another curveball.
