Not Sure, Another World Reincarnation

Chapter 153: About How Cats Are Very Whimsical Creatures (1)

After naming each party, we continued to receive constant extermination quests starting from the next day that also served as training for Kuro.

While we were generally only going within a days distance, we occasionally encountered other monsters such as lower-ranked wolf and boar types, and even Kobolds, not just Goblins. So, we were gaining experience at a reasonable pace.

After finishing the extermination and returning to the town, depending on how many materials we had accumulated, we sometimes went to the guild to exchange them for money or didnt bother.n0ve(l)bi(n.)co/m

Afterward, instead of immediately returning home, we went to a fighting space on the outskirts of town where we reunited with Kuro and Ryuu, and had a match against suitable adventurers. Well, when I say match, its actually just Arisa and Kuro who fight.

Lily and I were originally magic-user types in the rear guard position, so we werent suitable for these matches and mainly just watched. Occasionally, every few days, instead of watching, I left Arisa and Kuro there and went to bulk shop for ingredients and stuff with Lily.

Well, to be honest, my [Storage] is filled to the brim with ingredients, so yeah. With the current party size, its enough to last for about half a year to a year, give or take.

Huh? Too much? Well, you see, during the times of crop failure, it can get really serious if theres a shortage of food. There were two years of crop failure when I was in the orphanage, and I seriously thought I might starve to death This isnt modern-day Japan with abundance, you know.

In any case, today I was watching the match between the two of them. And right now, Im watching Kuro.

Kuros opponent today was a male adventurer, around 13 to 14 years old, a swordsman.

Due to the age and gender differences, there were differences in physique and strength, and if you think about it normally, Kuro was at a distinct disadvantage but, how should I put it, yeah. Actually seeing them fight, Kuro dominated with speed and agility.

Firstly, the opponents attacks hardly ever landed.

The boy wielded a somewhat shorter bastard sword, or perhaps a slightly longer longsword, with both hands He attacked with big swings, small swings, or feints, but Kuro effortlessly dodged them all. It felt like Kuro could predict his every move.

On the other hand, when Kuro attacked head-on, she targeted the opponents hands, neck, and while maneuvering into the opponents blind spots, she struck with precision at areas not covered by armor or joints, steadily wearing down her opponent.

Kuros weapon was kept sheathed to avoid causing excessive injuries to the opponent. Theyve wrapped cloth around it with a rope, but you could still hear pretty painful sounds.

Yeah, theres no way Kuro was losing due to the difference in strength. Kuro was kind of visually deceiving in that sense.

Kuros strong strikes. Theyre delivered by flexing almost all of Kuros muscles like springs. Arisa has been teaching Kuro that since joining the clan. And those strikes landed accurately on joints and vital points. In game terms, it would be like a Critical Hit!

Almost all of Kuros attacks landed like that. I guess its a bit hard to understand, huh

Wow, thats insane

No, no, that cat girl should ease up a bit

The opponent isnt that the one from Robs place that was the talk of the town a few times? Rob praised them for being pretty strong, right?

That should be the one Hey, do you know who that girl is?

Hmm, I dont know Wait a sec. I think I saw her at Gims place, maybe

Thud!

Did she just block that like that?

Damn, that little ones something else

Crash!

Wow, and then she did that from there Seriously, thats too much

Hmm, the voices of the surrounding old-time adventurers were really painful to the ears.

By the way, regarding the conversation of the old-timers about Kuros battle, heres what happened: the boy tried to use his size and strength advantage to forcefully throw Kuro and then tried to deliver a full-power blow. However, Kuro countered by striking the boys fingers holding the hilt with a powerful blow, forcing him to release his weapon. Then, from close range, Kuro used her entire body to thrust into the boys solar plexus, securing the victory.

The sound of the first strike, heard in the midst of the old-timers conversation, was when Kuro struck the fingers. The second strike sound was from the thrust to the solar plexus.

The opponent collapsed after receiving such merciless attacks.

I hope the boys fingers arent broken or anything, right? Judging by the way hes clutching his stomach, it seems he hasnt lost consciousness, but Is he really okay?

Oh, some of the old-timers are approaching him.

Hey, kid, are you okay? Let me take a look Oof, this is bad, a couple of your fingers are broken.

Damn, girl, youve done it now. There is gonna be a fine. Dont you know youre not supposed to cause such serious injuries?

Right hand, from the middle finger to the pinky, left hand, from the index finger to the ring finger Fortunately, the joints seem to be fine.

Hey, show us your stomach Wow, its bruised badly here too. Are your internal organs okay? Girl, you should have gone a bit easier.

Kuro, looking disheartened by the scolding from the old-timers, returned to our side. Hmm, theres an old-timer accompanying Kuro.

Ren, I won

Yes, congratulations. But you went a bit too far.

Ugh Im sorry

Lets be more careful next time.

Yeah

Wow, Kuro looks really down. Its understandable since some strangers scolded her and gathered around her.

But it seems Kuro wasnt very good at holding back Its like a playful cat suddenly biting hard. I should probably let Arisa know about this and include it in her training.

Oh, can I ask you something? Are you here as this girls companion?

Ah, the old-timer who came with Kuro just approached me.

Yes.

Its a bit awkward to say this, but that cat lady over there went a bit too far, and she needs to pay a fine and medical expenses for this. Are you okay with that?

Yes, of course. How much is the fine?

Its five small gold coins Can you really afford it?

Yes, its fine Here you go.

Oh, indeed. And about the medical expenses

Ah, about that, can I pay with physical potions?

Potion payment, huh You can do that, but if it turns out that it doesnt fully heal him, youll still have to pay for the remaining medical expenses, so I wouldnt recommend it too much.

I see, so thats how it is. Well, lets give it a try for now.

In that case, lets start by having him drink the potion, and judge based on the result

If youre saying that much, I dont mind But I wont be responsible no matter what happens.

Well, if it doesnt work, then so be it. Its my own intermediate-level potion, and even if it doesnt work, its not like itll hurt my wallet or anything.
