The next day, when I went back to the forest, there’s a crowd gathered in front of my handmade tent .
「Hey, I’m sure this is basilisk skin . 」
「Is it a shedding skin? 」
「Look! There’s a basilisk’s head inside the tent! 」
My tent seems strange .
They’re in the way, and I want to return to my home .
「Nyaa— (Get out of my house . )」
「Eh? What is it a cat doing here? 」
It’s useless . They can’t understand what I’m saying .
I don’t have enough words’ repertoire to write something to them, so we can’t communicate .
You know what, sooner or later they’ll go .
I decided to go back to town .
When I entered the town, a black cat approached me .
It’s so cute though . I want to keep it .
「Mrreow—(Oi, are you new here? )」
「Meow—(Eh? Were you talking to me? )」
「Nyan(Yeah . )」
This is the first time I’m talking to another cat because usually whenever the alley cats saw me, they ran away .
「Nya(If you are a cat in this town; you usually attend a gathering in East Square .
It doesn’t have to be every day, but you can show up occasionally .
If you don’t know where that is, I could take you there right now . )」
「Nyaa—(Cat assemble!)」
There are so many cats there .
I have no choice but to continue .
There a plaza at the eastern end of the town .
Over more than ten cats have gathered .
「Nya(Hey, newcomer . I’m the boss around here . )」
「Nyaa—(Nice to meet you . )」
An old cat greets me while looking at the gathered cats .
Everyone is lying around relaxing .
Once in a while, the townspeople wandering down the street and feed them .
They eat in descending order according to their hierarchy rank .
「Nya(Come on, eat! )」
「Nyaa—(It’s okay, I don’t need it . I have enough food for myself . )」
「Nya?(Where? Do you have it? )」
I showed them by taking out the basilisk meat from my Four-dimensional Space .
「Nya?!(Magic?! )」
「Nya!(The newcomer could use magic! )」
「Nya(I’ve heard something like this… If a cat lives until 20 years old or more they could become a Nekomata, they can use magic . )」
「Nya!(Perhaps, Nekomatsama… )」
My surrounding gets noisy, and they were enjoying the basilisk meat .
Wow, this tastes great .
「Nya(It’s seems like a worthy boss has just appeared . )」
「Nyan!(Nekomatsama! )」
「Nyan!(Nekomatsama! )」
「Nyan!(Nekomatsama! )」
All of them are showing their belly . Are they submitting to me?
Don’t worry; let me take care of you .
It’s so soft and fluffy .
「Gharrr!(Stop it! )」
This made me angry .
Afterwards, I disbanded the gathering and went back to my tent in the forest .
The basilisk skin that I used for tent and basilisk head that had been placed inside were stolen .
How cruel .
