Chapter 1-24 : Escape Through The Forest (part 3)
「Kill him!」
「「UOOOOOOOO!!」」(scary men)
The kidnappers raised their weapons and charged toward Nyat all at once.
However, Nyat swiftly dodged their attacks and knocked them out with counterattacks.
He looked like a martial artist in a cat costume.
「Nya! Nya nya!!」(Nyat)
「Guaahh!」
「Gohoo!!」(scary men)
「Don’t get too cocky you damn cat! Fireball!」(magician)
While Nyat was fighting the melee attackers, the magician shot a fireball from a distance.
Oh, no! I forgot to tell him there was a magician!
「Nyat, watch out!」(Kako)
「Nya nyaa!!」(Nyat)
Nyat quickly evaded the fireball but it burned the tip of his whiskers a little bit.
「Nyooooo!! My beautiful whiskers!! How dare you! You will pay for this-nya!!」(Nyat)
While glaring angrily at the magician, Nyat kicked the ground and shortened the distance between him and the magician in an instant.
「Hiiiiyy!!」(magician)
The panicked magician tried to defend himself with his magic staff, but Nyat cut it into pieces with his claws.
「What a fool. Now you can’t use magic-nya! Eat this! ーNya nya nya nya nya!!」(Nyat)
「Gaaaaaahhhh!!」(magician)
After destroying his weapon, Nyat hit him with consecutive cat punches and blew him away.
He then hit a tree and coughed up blood.
I think some of his bones were broken, especially his ribs.
「Dammit! I’ll f*cking kill you!」(big scary man)
Soon after, a big man holding an axe tried to attack Nyat from behind, but Nyat quickly twisted his body and cut off the man’s hand as he swung down his axe.
Nyat then immediately landed a strong cat punch into the man’s stomach and blew him ten meters away.
「Aaaarrgh!!」(big scary man)
The man who just lost his hand hit a tree and groaned in pain on the ground.
「Whoa…」(Kako)
I know Nyat is strong but I didn’t know he was this strong.
That man was obviously more than two meters tall and he had the muscular body of a bodybuilder, but Nyat blew him away with a single punch as if he were a bag of cotton.
The rest of the kidnappers kept attacking Nyat but he defeated them with his overwhelming strength in no time.
「Phew… Kako, are you okay-nya?」(Nyat)
After knocking out all the kidnappers, Nyat turned to me and smiled.
Seeing his cute face, I couldn’t help but hug him and bury my face in his fluffy fur.
「Nyaaa~t! I was so scared! Hwaaaaa!!」(Kako)
「It’s alright, it’s alright. I’ve taken care of them-nya. You’re safe now, so stop crying like a little girl-nya.」(Nyat)
「Huu~ I’m not a little girl! Hiks…」(Kako)
「I know, I know… I’m glad you’re alright-nya.」(Nyat)
Nyat put his paw on my head and gently stroked it.
「A lot of things happened… I’m tired…」(Kako)
「You did your best-nya.」(Nyat)
「Yeah… I did… I used my Synthesis Skill to escape from the basement… I ran away as hard as I could… But then I was attacked by a monster… I would have died if I wasn’t wearing this armor…」(Kako)
「I see-nya…」(Nyat)
「My entire body hurt, but I didn’t stop… I kept trying as best as I could to escape…」(Kako)
「You did good, you did good-nya.」(Nyat)
「But, in the end… I couldn’t escape from those men… I feel powerless…」(Kako)
「No, no. You did a great job escaping from the basement and ran into this forest-nya. I could find you because of it-nya.」(Nyat)
「So… I didn’t do all this for nothing…?」(Kako)
「Of course-nya.」(Nyat)
「Thank you, Nyat.」(Kako)
Ahh~ His fur really is comfortable…
I want to bury my face in this heavenly fur forever…
Those scary men were all knocked out, right? I hope no one sees me like this. It would be quite embarrassing.
「Kako, are you okay!?」(Maitena)
Just when I thought no one saw me, I suddenly heard Maitena-san’s voice.
I panickedly raised my face and turned around.
「M, Master!?」(Kako)
Did she see me?
Ugh… I hope she didn’t see me hugging Nyat like a spoiled child hugging her stuffed animal…
「Kako! Thank god!」(Maitena)
「So you were also looking for me?」(Kako)
「Yeah. After we took care of the monsters outside the town, we returned to the town and found that Mr. Catto was looking for you. After a guard told us that he saw a man carrying an unconscious girl, we guessed that you had been kidnapped.」(Maitena)
「I see.」(Kako)
「Ah, I’m really glad you’re okay. Kako, I’m sorry I’m late…」(Maitena)
Saying that, Maitena approached me and hugged me tightly.
「M, Master, it hurts…」(Kako)
「I, I’m sorry! Are you wounded? …Oh, no! Look at your arm!」(Maitena)
I didn’t realize it until now but I had a scratch wound on my arm. To be exact, on the part that wasn’t protected by my armor.
It seemed that I got this wound when the monster hit me.
「Palfi!」(Maitena)
「I’m coming!」(Palfi)
Palfi-san appeared from the darkness of the forest in response to Maitena-san’s voice and quickly approached me.
「Palfi-san, you came too!」(Kako)
「Of course. Izack and Martz are also here. Now, stay still. ーHeal!」(Palfi)
As soon as Palfi-san cast a recovery spell, my body began to glow slightly.
「Whoaa…!!」(Kako)
Soon after, the wounds all over my body healed in no time.
I could no longer feel pain.
「Recovery magic is awesome!」(Kako)
I’ve never been healed with magic before, so this is my first experience, and it feels great.
「Fufu. It’s not as effective as high-potions though. It can only heal minor injuries.」(Palfi)
「But, still! You’re amazing! Thank you, Palfi-san!」(Kako)
「You’re welcome~」(Palfi)
Maitena-san and Palfi-san are truly like kind older sisters to me.
「Well then, shall we go home now?」(Maitena)
「Un!」(Kako)
「Let’s go home and have dinner-nya. I’m hungry-nya.」(Nyat)
Now that he mentions it, I haven’t eaten anything for dinner.
I felt hungry as soon as I realized it.
「Umm… Guys?」(Izack)
However, when we were about to walk back home, I heard Izack-san’s voice from the other direction.
We turned around andー
「「…Eeeehhh!?」」(Kako, Maitena, Palfi, and Nyat)
ーWe were surprised because…
We saw fire…
「Before we go back, I think we should do something before the fire burns this entire forest.」(Izack)
Saying that, Izack-san pointed at the fire that was burning the area and Martz-san who was doing his best to stop it with water magic.
It seemed that the fireball shot by the magician when he tried to attack Nyat hit a tree and started burning the area without us realizing.
「Awawawa! We should hurry and put out the fire!」(Kako)
「Water! We need water!」(Maitena)
「I’ll go help Martz with magic!」(Palfi)
「Yare yare-nya…」(Nyat)
Fortunately, we were able to put out the fire after struggling for about fifteen minutes.
After that, the Wings of Steel members took the kidnappers to the guards in town while Nyat and I returned to our inn.

After a guard told us that he saw a man carrying an unconscious girl,
and this did not rise questions from the guard ?
i mean i know its a caotic situation but idk
if a guard noticed it but dident do anything means he wasnt bussy with something else
so eighter he was bribed or severely underpaid makeing him think not my problem
Hmm, yes. Cause carrying an unconcious girl away from the walls, where people are fighting a stampede, is very suspicious. This is more important than the immediate danger of wallbreakers, who break walls. Walls the the city needs.
