Unorthodox Guild

Chapter 9 The Silly Cat's Day Off

"..."

It was already very late at night.

but.

"call......"

Kaya, however, sat quietly on the sofa in the hall, looking up at the ceiling.

Clearly, he was suffering from insomnia...

"How could I possibly sleep!"

That purebred cat.

In front of Luna, he went to such lengths to appear relaxed, and almost managed to fool her.

But they just had to pick this perfect time to finish their bath, and then pick this perfect time to come out and join in the fun.

"..."

Of course, Kaya wasn't afraid of Luna: neither at school nor now.

"..."

What bothered him was Serala.

Serara Asta.

That is, the princess who frequently wrote letters to Kaya, and was known as the "Kingdom's First Magician".

To be honest, a big reason he came here two years ago was to escape that guy.

Now they suddenly say they want to leave... While there might be some selfish considerations involved, they also don't want things to get complicated.

There is a history between him and Serara, or between him and the Asta royal family, that he does not want to face.

Therefore, even though Kaya was quite comfortable here and got along fairly well with the pure cat and Noelle, who was still in the guild before, she was still quite comfortable here.

But leaving the guild was also for the sake of the two of them and the town: they didn't want their own affairs to disrupt the tranquility of the village.

That's why he put so much effort into training a successor, so that after he left, the town wouldn't be without capable adventurers.

"..."

However, he did not expect Noelle to run away before him.

He didn't expect Luna to show up at this time, and opened the door without thinking much about it.

"And it just so happened that Lilia was coming to our house, and the two of them bumped into each other."

You can't blame Kaya for being careless: after all, those who come at this time are usually succubus salesmen.

Of course, he won't place an order.

When he encounters succubi trying to sell him door-to-door services, he will simply open the door and give them a scare, telling them to stop bothering him.

Otherwise, it will really be like those harassing phone calls, going on and on.

"..."

Fortunately, Luna didn't see Elisa, otherwise things would have been much more complicated.

"..."

"Ugh."

He sighed.

"never mind."

There's a saying in the East: "A car... the front wheels turn but the back wheels don't."

Kaya is at least an optimistic person, or rather, a very realistic person, so her mood shifts are quite decisive.

I rubbed my slightly dizzy head: I don't need to think about leaving the guild for now.

He needs to think about how to deal with those members of the Asta royal family.

What's giving him a headache now is that Lilia has also been dragged into this troublesome situation.

Kaya is realistic, but she's not a stone; she wouldn't abandon her and run away.

"..."

"..."

"Pat, pat."

While I was still thinking on the sofa.

Soft footsteps, accompanied by a delicate fragrance, quietly approached the boy from behind the sofa.

"Hey boss, are you asleep, meow?"

Lilia's voice was very soft.

Whether it was to avoid disturbing the boy or because she had just cried in her room, her tone seemed rather listless.

"..."

"...Lilia, you're still awake?"

"..."

"Boss, the boss is still angry with Lilia, meow..."

"..."

"No, it's not your fault, it's my problem."

He sighed; he was indeed telling the truth.

After all, Astar's matter had nothing to do with this cat from beginning to end: he really shouldn't have taken his anger out on her.

"..."

"Sorry, I got a little agitated just now and snapped at you."

Recalling the girl's tearful face, Kaya closed her eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.

"Meow, boss."

"Apologizing means showing your belly, cat."

"..."

The atmosphere was fine just now, but now Kaya inexplicably feels like laughing.

For some reason, I feel like punching this cat.

"......never mind."

Judging from the girl's tone, she must have regained her energy, which is good.

"Just tell me, Lilia, what kind of dish would you like me to cook? Consider it a..."

"..."

The story was only half-finished.

Seemingly having seen something incomprehensible, the moment he opened his eyes, his movements froze on the sofa.

Because it was a light white veil.

"Um, that..."

It seemed to sense the boy's gaze.

Even though the living room lights were already off, she still blushed and twisted her body.

"Um, Boss Meow."

"..."

"That cat."

Seeing that Kaya did not respond to him.

But she mustered her courage and lay down on the boy on the sofa.

"Lilia doesn't want to cook, meow..."

Before Kaya could even process what was happening.

"Lilia wants the boss cat."

He whispered in her ear.

...............

...............

Not far from the Forest of Cuteness.

Morning, the Cat Adventurers' Guild.

"..."

"..."

The guild was filled with a subtle atmosphere today.

"call......"

The black-haired boy standing by the window quietly looked at the scene outside and exhaled a breath of stale air.

"Is spring coming...?"

He muttered to himself, seemingly out of nowhere.

"Boss, I'm sorry, meow..."

"..."

Ugh.

"Never mind, it's not your fault."

Kaya sighed as she looked at the purple-clad girl with dark circles under her eyes.

He turned his head and looked at Elisa, who was standing timidly to the side.

"Damn, what are you doing, boss? If you want to do that kind of thing, you have to do it tonight..."

"Stop teaching this cat strange things."

"I'm innocent..."

"Also, your charm potion is too low-grade; it won't work on me."

"..."

"whee."

Seeing that she could no longer hide it, the girl could only resort to acting cute.

"..."

Actually, the moment Kaya saw Lilia last night, he knew it must have been Elisa's doing.

Not to mention that stupid cat Lilia, who simply doesn't know how to make magic potions, something that requires brains.

Even just looking at that extremely revealing white nightgown, you could tell it was taken from Elisa's shady suitcase.

"Hey boss, you guys keep chatting, Elisa's going to go hunt down the monsters first~"

Sensing that something was amiss, the girl quickly grabbed her wand and ran out of the guild.

"..."

Watching the figure gradually disappear from sight: "Never mind."

Kaya was too lazy to comment anymore; he just hoped that Elisa wouldn't get killed by a slime again.

"Oh, right, Lilia."

Turning her gaze back to the silly cat in front of her, she said, "Yesterday you said that a new member would be joining the guild today. If I remember correctly, right?"

"Mmm, yes, meow, boss."

Seemingly because of what happened last night, the girl seemed listless and spoke weakly.

"but......"

"If the boss doesn't want a newcomer, Lilia will talk to her about it later, meow."

She vaguely hugged the boy's hand.

"Lilia listens to the boss in everything, meow..."

"call......"

And so I fell asleep.

"..."

"..."

This guy.

Looking at the sleeping face of the girl in his hands, Kaya's feelings were complicated.

"Let's get some rest today."

Lilia was carefully placed on the sofa.

Kaya then sat down next to the girl.

"call......"

Last night was really like that.

Although Kaya made it sound so easy, he almost fell for it.

"never mind."

I'll take a break before the new members join the guild.

"call......"

With the girl's soft breathing.

For some reason, my thoughts drifted back to a long time ago, to the first time I met Lilia...
