Chapter 38 [Fighting for Wealth](2)
Okay me.
Calm down, and first calmly sort out the situation.
As soon as I arrived at the inn, I lost my mind, along with Olivia-sama.

But when I opened my eyes, I couldn’t see where Olivia-sama had gone, and she was licking my cheek by a kitten she encountered in downtown Imperial City during the day.
…………
What an asshole.
“…….Huh.”
With a resigned expression, Dante laughed weakly.
f*ck, I don’t even know anymore.
It’s as good as it gets.
He said as he gently stroked the cat’s head.
“Goyang, is it Go who followed me all this time?”
“Hey. Ong. Hey. Ong”
The cat cried loudly twice as if it was right.
Such crazy.
Live and live I see myself being stalked by a beast.
“So, cat, how did you get in here?”
“Hey Ong”
The cat pointed to his window with its short, short paws.
I see… These days, cats are so capable of jumping that they can follow people flying on dragons and come in through the second-floor window… Testimonials It’s amazing.
I see, it’s a wide world.
…Wait a minute, even if it’s a cat, there’s no way that Olivia-sama would let something come into this room,
So you’re saying Olivia-sama wasn’t there when the cat came in?
“Hey cat, was there no one beside me when you came in through the window?”
“Hey Ong”
The cat nodded slowly.
As expected.
Then you must be saying you didn’t just leave. If that was the case, we would definitely have met.
“Rather cat, do you understand what I’m saying…!?”
And what is the level of a b*tch these days?
Oh no, isn’t this a cat?
……No, after all, tigers are felines, so it’s okay to call them cats…!
Although the cat’s cry is very awkward and sometimes purring is heard mixed in,
Even though she’s a baby, her soles are the size of an adult woman, and she has lots of black stripes all over her body!
I’m very concerned about the character “Wang” On my forehead!!
Everywhere you look, he’s a tiger, but he’s still a cat.
You even claim to be a cat yourself!
You should respect it!
Dante decided to perceive the tiger cub in front of him from now on as a slightly larger kitten.
“Nyan.”
The cat meowed briefly with a face that seemed to be ‘It’s too late to notice!’.
Dante pursed his lips as he patted the cat’s glossy, shiny back.
“But cat, why did you follow me?”
“Hey Ong”
As if waiting for that question, the cat spun around behind her, and she waved her hind paw at Dante, to which her handkerchief was tied.
“Nyan.”
“…Are you here to return the handkerchief to me?”
“Greung.”
The cat purred her throat as if it were right.
I ripped it up and tied it up anyway, so I can’t use it again…
Dante smiled bitterly.
Still, I can’t say that I don’t need the kid who came to pick me up again.
Even though she was born with the body of a beast, she remembers those who helped her, and her pure heart that tries to repay her kindness is so pretty.
He couldn’t bear to refuse the cat’s favor.
“Yeah, thanks for giving it back. You’ve been such a nice cat, haven’t you?”
You’re much better than my lizard.
“Nyan.”
When I undid the hem of the tied handkerchief, the wound on the hind leg of the cat I had seen before in the empire had completely healed.
“You’re all better? I’m glad… Whoops.”
“Hey Ong”
Dante let out a small laugh, and the cat growled and rubbed his head against the back of his hand.
Looks like a puppy.
Oh, how cute…Is this really ‘animal therapy’?
“It’s… Tea.”
Dante put his hand between the cat’s armpits and lifted it up.
Whoa…Look at how heavy it is. Could this be all muscle…? 3 Vs 500 is just going to hit?!
“By the way, cat.”
“Hey Ong”
“You’re a female, so a male——”
“Kyaaa!!”
f*ck!
“—Ouch!?”
The moment Dante lifted the cat’s tail to determine the s*x, the cat slammed Dante’s cheek with its front paws with a ferocious hiss.
“Whoa, whoa!??”
Cudangtang!
The impact of the cat punch was so strong that Dante fell under the bed.
“Oh, ouch…”
Dante murmured with a bitter expression as he stroked his reddened cheeks with thick jelly stains.
“Female…Right…?”
“……Kreung.”
The cat jerked his head away and answered coldly.
My God, did you just hear that? Since Kreung, Kreung!
There’s no way a cat would make such a sound!?
…..No, let’s not tackle it.
Because my life is precious.
“Uh…Sorry, cat. I wasn’t careful.”
I am not apologizing because I am afraid of cats. Absolutely not.
“…Hey. Ong”
Seeing Dante apologizing in an awkward tone, the cat narrowed its emerald eyes, then placed its tail on his thigh.
“Nya.”
“Forgive me…?”
“Ahahahaha…Thank you cat.”
Dante tuk-tuk tuk-tuk, got up, and moved himself back onto the bed.
The cat stared at Dante’s golden eyes, and as soon as he got up on the bed, he jumped onto Dante’s lap and rolled up.
Instantly, a high-pitched, high-pitched sound resonated throughout the room.
Umm… I have to send her back before Olivia-sama comes back…
But since you haven’t come back so far, I wonder if it will take a little longer.
Besides, it’s fate that we met like this, but it’s a bit regretful that we broke up here.
Can I take a little more?
Dante said in a relaxed tone, while rubbing the cat’s cheek playfully as if kneading rice cakes.
“Hey Cat, what the hell are you?”
“…Myeon? Ryu?”
“What molu, molu!? No matter how much a cat is an animal that uses its vocal cords freely, that’s a bit of a joke! Don’t be shy. Is.”
A young tiger who is smart enough to understand everything people say, knows how to express his thoughts, and even has excellent physical abilities.
There were too many differences to call them ordinary brutes.
So, at first, I thought that perhaps, like Yeonhwa, she might be a member of Shinsoo Department, but Shinsoo still doesn’t come out of the trash.
If so, wouldn’t it be a unique entity called a ‘spiritual object’ in the world?
A question born out of pure curiosity.
Seeing Dante’s expression of great curiosity, the cat reluctantly started writing letters on the bed sheet with its front paws as if informing him.
“Huh? What are you writing cat? I…Ki…?”
“Nya. Ong”
“What is Nagi, Cat?”
The cat pointed at itself with its paw.
“Oh, is your name ‘Nagi’ by any chance?”
“Nyan.”
“Nagi…Nagi…Yes, I think it’s a good name. It has a very pretty resonance.”
It’s cold in the mouth too.
“Hey Ong”
Then Chuck and Nagi pointed at Dante with the tip of their tail.
“Oh, you mean my name?”
“Nya.”
“I’m Dante. I’m a demon, and I live in the Lafrican Empire. It’s a very easy name to remember, right?”
“Hey Ong”
Nagi cried for a long time.
Suddenly, Dante turned his gaze to the watch and made an expression of regret inside.
It was about time.
“It’s already this time…”
Should I send it back soon?
From noble mtl dot com
It’s a shame we couldn’t figure out his true identity, but there’s nothing we can do about it.
He bent down and made eye contact with Naga, whispering in a kind voice.
“I’m sorry, Nagiya, but I think it’s time to say goodbye.”
“…..Nyan..?”
“It may sound sad, but let’s say our final goodbyes for each other’s safety and longevity.”
What the f*ck am I talking about to the cat?
But Dante was very serious.
“You shouldn’t come looking for me or follow me like today, and even if you run into me by chance while walking around the empire, you shouldn’t act cute or cling to me. Otherwise, I’ll be in big trouble.”
“Huh…?”
As Nagi looked at him with an expression that said, “What kind of dog shovel is that?” Dante sighed and gave an appropriate answer.
“Actually, my master really hates animals. Especially animals that get attached to me.”
It was then.
Boom!!!!
“!?? ㅋ, Cough! Cough Cough! What is this!??”
Coughing in surprise at the white smoke that burst out of nowhere and covered the room, Dante waved his hand fan.
However, contrary to his expectations, the smoke completely disappeared within a few seconds.
“Collock! Aww…What was it… Nagiya, it’s okay—”
“………?”
Dante faced the shining emerald eyes in the smoke that gradually faded,
──In the end, he turned to stone on the spot.
A blonde woman who suddenly appeared in front of him, whether he knew his feelings or not,
No.
Nagi softly grabbed Dante’s frozen hand and licked his lips in a slow tone.
“You know…Then I…”
“Then… Can I come to see you…?”
No, I think something bigger is about to happen.
Rather than that, this is…A flag…?
The one that starts with s and ends with s, right? (Death flag)
“………(*Devil swear words)”
Dante, with an indescribable expression on his face, quietly covered his face with his hands.
Yes, I sold my country in my previous life.
◇
Same time.
Tak!
“…..This is it.”
The Nibelest Empire.
An empire located on the opposite side of the Lesta Empire.
One of the most dangerous countries with violence, drugs, crime and war.
Landing in her dark back alley, surrounded on all sides by her barbed wire, Olivia chewed on her captain’s words as she moved on.
There are three main types of information obtained.
First, the contents of the request and the person who instigated the request.
The second is the location of the largest headquarters of the assassination guild, ‘Dark Lost’, to which the captain belongs.
And the third one────
“…….(*Dragon swear words)”
The moment she passed through her alleyway, Olivia frowned at her as she spat out a small curse in the thick bloody smell.
“…What kind of situation is this?”
The sight reflected in her red eyes was truly spectacle.
The corpse.
The corpse.
Looking here is a corpse, looking there is a corpse, looking everywhere is a corpse.
A procession of countless corpses kissing the ground.
This is the biggest slum of the Nibelest Empire.
The entrance to the Dark Lost Guild Headquarters.
She let out a deep sigh.
“…f*ck, these are my favorite shoes.”
With her brow furrowed, Olivia stepped forward, striding over the mountain of her corpse.
Judging from the black costumes that covered the entire body of the corpses and the badges scattered around them, it seemed that all the dead people around them were assassins and members of the Dark Lost guild.
“──I never thought that the player would be taken away.”
Tsk, clicking her tongue, she thrust her hands roughly into the pockets of her suit trousers.
The reason Olivia came to the Nibelest Empire was simple.
Extermination.
Leaving aside the three idiots who tried to assassinate Dante, I didn’t like the Dark Lost Guild itself that accepted the request from the beginning, so I’m going to kill them all.
Then I wondered what it was. I arrived, but the guild members were already dead.
“Nimi.”
A face full of annoyance and dissatisfaction.
She tapped her bottom with her tail! She slammed down
It was then.
“──Give me! Please save me───”
“Hoo?”
At the sound of someone’s scream coming from the back of the headquarters, Olivia started running quickly toward the back of the building with a smile on her lips.
There was. A live baby!
“Damn—I believed you!”
I’m glad.
Because I didn’t take a step in vain.
◇
“Damn it, you’re behind!”
With a helpless expression, Olivia slapped her on the forehead.
When she arrived at the back of the headquarters, the screams had already stopped, and soon after, a man collapsed helplessly to the floor with a loud thud.
In the true sense of the word, annihilation.
Pursing her lips, Olivia hadn’t taken her player, but she turned her gaze to the sneaky culprit who had created this mess.
A little distance away from herself, towards a white-haired woman who was covered in blood and was cleaning her arms.
A woman of about the same height as herself, with beast ears standing straight on her head, and a long scarf wrapped loosely around her neck, high enough to cover her mouth slightly.
In her hand was a scythe much larger than her height.
Perhaps it cut the man who had just fallen.
“Is this your work?”
Half interest, half annoyance, half question.
The gray-haired woman turned her head to look in the direction of her voice.
For a moment, as soon as she saw Olivia’s figure, she made a puzzled expression, but even that for a moment, the woman nodded her head as her purple eyes narrowed.
“That’s right.”
“Why?”
Rea, reason, reason.
After thinking for a while, the woman replied in a plain voice.
“Hmm…Should I say removing the obstacles blocking the path of someone important?”
“Hoo?”
Twisting up the corners of her mouth, Olivia’s red eyes sparkled in amusement.
“It’s like me.”
She said, thinking of her Dante in her head.
“I’m here for the same reasons as you.”
“…..I’m sorry for stealing the player.”
“No, it doesn’t really matter. I was going to kill him like this anyway.”
Do anything for the one you love.
What a noble mindset this is.
Olivia quite liked a white-haired woman who had similar goals to her.
Should I express ‘sympathy’?
“Thank you for putting blood on her hands instead.”
“……Ah.”
The conversation ended there.
She turned around with a relieved expression, and then she started retracing the way she had walked.
I left the seat empty for too long.
She must return to the child as soon as possible.
“…….”
That was then.
──He hesitated.
Olivia stopped her steps.
You know, she had a pretty good nose.
Olivia could distinguish most of her body odors, and she was especially sensitive when it came to Dante.
He was always a flower gardener, Dante, and his body smelled like the subtle scent of lilac flowers.
And it was also a scent that could never be smelled in this bloody place.
Dante’s body odor, finely mixed in the fishy bloody sea.
The source is———
Boom!!!
Hitting her ground, Olivia swung her fist at the gray-haired woman.
If it was a normal human, she would have fallen off and died instantly, but unfortunately she wasn’t human.
Pass…
As the dust and smoke raised by the wind pressure cleared, a white-haired woman was seen with one hand equally blocking Olivia’s fist as she threw it out.
From noble mtl dot com
A white-haired woman, no.
Nine tails were wagging behind Yeonhwa.
Olivia growled ferociously, her face bearing a fierce expression she had never shown to her Dante.
“Tell me, f*ck you!!!!”
“……”
Facing the deadly black dragon’s red eyes in silence, Yeon-hwa thought of Dante.
In that case, what would you have said in this situation?
‘f*ck you’re not caught.’
