The story of the struggle in another world of the divine cat Mii-chan and the cat supplies summoner

Chapter 97: Divine Cat Mii-chan Orders Perro’s Armor

I gave Mii-chan some sweet red bean paste, and for Perro, Sera, and Lu-kun, I served watermelon with a light sprinkle of salt. For Pamiru-san, I prepared some frozen fruit juice water.

“Is this also a skill?”

“It’s a water skill.”

“I see…”

Everyone looks satisfied. When we get back to Quinto, I’ll need to stock up on more fruits and other supplies.

I offered the tent to Pamiru-san, while the rest of us laid out sheets outside and wrapped ourselves in blankets to sleep. Mii-chan decided to sleep with us too, so I’ll give her a little snuggle.

“Mii~”

Twice during the night, we were attacked by goblins. I got up to check, but there wasn’t any need for us to step in. The knights and many hunters were there, so they handled it. But I might end up sleep-deprived… Maybe that was the goblins’ plan all along… but probably not.

At dawn, many wagons set off towards Quinto. It seems they’re loading the lumber they cut around the labyrinth. Makes sense—they wouldn’t want to return empty-handed. Smart thinking.

I collected the goblin corpses from last night’s attacks. The knights and hunters didn’t want them, so early in the morning, Mii-chan and I went around gathering them up, including the ones that attacked the wagons. In total, we collected 230 goblins. Quite the haul.

For hunters of the caliber that come here, goblin cores probably aren’t worth their time. If they delve into the labyrinth, they can find cores and materials that are much more valuable.

Alright, let’s get going too. We should reach Quinto by early afternoon.

On the road, we passed many wagons. Soon, the country’s infantry and mercenary units would also be gathering at the White Labyrinth. Even with endless supplies, it might not be enough, but with the labyrinth providing a constant source of meat, a siege could be sustained. The only downside is that the fortress itself is small.

We skipped lunch and had Sumire run straight to Quinto, arriving as planned in the early afternoon. After dropping Pamiru-san off at the Hunter Guild, I decided to head to Sykes’ place for lunch. I removed Sumire’s saddle but asked her to wait a bit longer for her meal.

As soon as we entered the guild, Eva came rushing over.

“Pamiru, I’m glad you’re here. I thought you were heading to the royal capital via the northern route.”

“Nero-kun gave me a ride here.”

“Oh, Nero-kun. Thank you.”

“It was on my way back anyway. Is it okay to leave your luggage here?”

“Nero-kun, thank you so much. I’ll stay in Quinto for a little while before heading to the capital.”

“I’ll be returning to the capital once I finish my tasks here.”

“Then we’ll see each other in the capital, too.”

“Perhaps.”

Pamiru-san then went off with Eva to see the Guild Master.

Now, let’s have lunch. “Sykes-san, lunch for six, please!”

After having lunch, I started looking for an inn where Sumire could also stay. I heard about an inn near the bazaar where the bazaar workers stay, so I headed there. The stable was larger than the inn itself. When I inquired inside, they told me they only had two-person rooms without meals, which was just what I needed, so I booked it.

After taking care of Sumire, I decided to visit Zelgad’s workshop.

“What’s the matter? Is something wrong?”

“No, I wanted to ask for a resupply of bullets and also discuss something.”

“You ran out of those bullets I made?”

“I used nearly forty rounds in a single battle.”

“That many, huh?”

“I’m still not that skilled, so sometimes I can’t take down an enemy with one shot…”

“Got it. How many do you need?”

“I’ll come by the day after tomorrow in the evening, so as many as you can make by then. Please make more of the hollow-point bullets.”

“Understood. What’s the consultation about?”

It was about adding a scope to the rifle. With a scope, I could do some sniping, which would reduce the danger in combat.

“A telescope on a rifle? Now that’s an interesting idea!”

I explained to Zelgad about adjusting the range, requesting that it be adjustable to 100 and 150 meters.

“He said he’d make a prototype, but the final adjustments would need to be done with you present.”

I told him I’d be out of town for about ten days and handed over an advance payment of one million reto.

“Got it. Leave it to me.”

He also introduced me to an armor craftsman. The workshop was just three doors down.

“Armor for Perro, huh?”

“Mii!”

“Oh, the princess is so kind.”

Perro-kun, is there nothing for me?

“Nero, hurry up, nya!”

Alright, alright, my dear knight is so carefree… right.

“Excuse me~ I was referred by Zelgad~”

“Referred by that crazy head, huh… So, what do you need?”

So “Crazy Head” is actually Zelgad’s nickname!

“I came to have some armor made.”

“For Perro, nya!”

“Meow.”

“A cat’s armor, huh… That crazy head!”

“It’s not for a cat. It’s for Perro, nya!”

“Mii…”

“So, what kind of armor are you looking for?”

“I want something that doesn’t hinder movement, as Perro focuses on agility.”

“What about the materials?”

“I have some materials. Could you take a look?”

I had Mii-chan pull out the materials I had obtained from Brocken Mountain.

“Whoa, how much are you pulling out… Forest, no, it’s a Granbear, huh…”

There’s more where that came from. What should we do?

“Using Soldier Ant shells with Granbear hide as the base…”

“Didn’t catch that.”

“Can I pay with the materials?”
