Confession and the Limitation of a Cat
I am still being lectured by Misha up until now.
[At that time, if I didn’t come to help, Goshujinsama would’ve been dead!]
Misha is talking about the matter of me jumping in front of the Imp to save Lunaria.
[As an adventurer, your situational awareness is lacking! You should also treasure your own life nya!]
[There was no helping it…. If Misha was standing in my shoes then, you’d definitely do the same.]
This is also a matter I could not compromise on.
This is because I was hired by Lunaria as a guard.
Hence, I felt that I did the correct thing regardless of whether I was being a good guy or as an adventurer of the guild.
After a moment of silence,
Misha sighed like a human once again.
[That’s right nya~. I also feel proud of having such a splendid Goshujinsama.]
[I’d be delighted if you’d understand.]
[It’s true that you were manly back then. However, treasure your life more nya~]
[Mmm…. I know.]
It is certain that if Misha is not a cat, she would not be able to overtake me jumping into the face of the Imp.
A second is enough to determine the life and death of an adventure.
I need to be more careful as I’m not a salaryman anymore.
Misha jumped onto my lap.
Similar to what I did in the past, I gently stroked her back.
[Goshujinsama’s hand is warm…]
[This is because a cat’s body temperature is high.]
[…What I meant is your spirit nya…] (

—knock knock

-Someone is knocking on the door.
Misha and I jumped in surprise at the same time.
From the perspective of an outsider, all I am doing is petting a cat. However, this is the lovey-dovey time for Misha and me.
I peeked and saw Lunaria face through the small keyhole. I immediately opened the door.
[I-I apologise for the sudden visit…]
Runaria looked as though she might still cry anytime.
[I would like to thank you one more time….]
[Ah? It’s about that? You do not have to worry about–.]
All of a sudden, Runaria fell towards me.
…No, that’s not it.
She is hugging me tightly…
[You risked your life to save me so I am extremely grateful to you…]
[…That was just part of my job.]
[But… I am still very happy…]
As I have got no experience in dealing with such a situation, I began to panic slightly.
Just when I was thinking that it is fortunate that I became an adventurer.
[Umm… Sir Keiji?]
Speaking of which, I did not realise that she always calls me by my name.
[I… I Like you desu… Will you…marry me…?]
Eeh, suddenly asking for marriage?
I see…. It is not strange for the people in this world.
Ahh…. No way, no way!
This and that are different matters!
This is the answer that Lunaria reached after much consideration.
What matters the most is the current situation.
She mustered up her willpower and came here to confess.
Despite knowing that an adventurer’s job is extremely dangerous and I might travel to all sort of places anytime.
In contrast, I—.
[nya…]
Misha cried out sadly.
…Not good. I will only betray Misha if this continues any further.
I know that Misha always loved me.
Although love couldn’t be measured…without a doubt, Misha had always loved me way before I met Lunaria.
[Sorry] is what I said. (T.L No no no what are you doing MC.)
Of course, I said this to Lunaria.
[…There is someone waiting for me. She is also an adventurer like me.]
[I-I see, desu…]
Lunaria seemed a bit lonely.
And then, she slowly raises her head.
[Sorry… I must have given you a shock.]
[N-no…. I am happy as well.]
[Erm…can I ask something?]
[Mmm? What is it?]
[If…. If that person waiting for you is no longer around, would you accept my confession?]
[Of course.]
[Thank you….] (T.L o.o Misha your life is in danger)
Finally, Lunaria left my room while smiling.
[…It seemed that I made Goshujinsama troubled nya….]
Misha said this after Lunaria left.
[There is no such thing. I will fail as an owner if I made Misha sad.]
[…I see. But…]
Misha glanced at me while looking suspicious.
[If…I was not around, won’t Goshujinsama accept her confession?]
[Aah! S-stop suspecting me!]
[Also, you seem so happy being hugged by a young girl]
[Th-that… A-aren’t all men like that…?]
It would be weirder for a man to dislike being hugged by girls.
[Just now, although I gave you permission to do as you like, it seem that it is better for me to take that back….]
[What?! Misha, no! Don’t be unreasonable!]
It seemed it wouldn’t be too bad to keep on flirting like that–. …But the atmosphere suddenly became gloomier than expected.
[Because…wh-when I saw Goshujinsama hugging another women…. I-I became extremely a-angry]
I felt that Misha might cry anytime.
Her voice is shaking.
[I… I-I can’t do anything be-because m-my body is that of a c-cat. I f-felt so mu-much unease…]
Because she is a cat.
The pain Misha is suffering now is probably more than what I can imagine.
I seems that I must do something to ease her pain.
[…Sorry, I let Misha feel upset.]
Misha immediately hugged my wrist.
It will be good if this is sufficient to calm Misha down.
[Haa… although I feel happy when Goshujinsama is stroking me… but at the end of the day, it’s just the relationship between a pet and her master….]
Although what she said was true, it seems that this is not sufficient to satisfy Misha any longer.
[As expected I can’t go on like this. I would also cause Goshujinsama some trouble.]
[…What trouble?]
[For example…we can’t do things such as kissing.]
[If it is kissing, I think that we can still do it?]
Since a cat also has a mouth.
[Wrong! There’s no meaning if it’s a kiss between a cat and a human!]
It seems Misha is very particular about the matter of kissing.
[In other words, we must not kiss now! The first kiss should be left till a later date! –Mmm!]
It seems that Misha made some sort of decision.
[Let’s go to the guild to find a high paying job! And then we will be able to buy the grimoire to turn me into a human. Also Goshujisama’s level has also raised to Lv 11 so we can accept some better paying commissions.]
[You seem so motivated….]
[Tomorrow. Immediately GO TO THE GUILD NYA~! Because I definitely want to become a human girl and love-love with goshujinsama! And then kiss when I become human being!]
