Book 2: Chapter 19

Merdies Side

Merdie, are you alright?

Haa, Haa, I, Im at my limit , meow

We are desperately running away from the approaching flames. Im a cat-form beastman, so my stamina isnt that high.

I dont like it when people say that Im too similar to a cat, so I try not to add meow at the end of whatever Im saying, but in an emergency, I cant help this old habit.

Ill try to do something about the flames, so please run away, Merdie!

Leaffa suddenly stopped and faced the blazing inferno.

Leaffa, its no use , meow!! Run, meow!!!!

I grabbed Leaffas arm and tried to pull her, but she wont budge. Leaffa started to gather magic.

Wind Wall!

She cast a protective wind barrier, and somehow, the raging fire stopped coming towards us, but because the wind fanned it, the flames rose up higher.

AHHHHH!!! What are you doing, meow!!! Leaffas magic cant erase fire, meow!!!

I, I know that!! Nows the time!! Merdie, run!!

What will Leaffa do, meow!??

Ill stay here and try to stop the fire. I already blew the whistle, so I think Professor Tina is on her way!

Theres no way you can stop an inferno like this, meow!!!

Its all my fault, so Ill try to do something about this. I need to protect Merdie no matter what!

Then lets run together, meow!!!

Merdie, you cant run anymore, right? Thats why, go, quickly!!

Th, this gal really has no intention of bowing down!!!

Ahhh, whatever, Im sorry, meow!!!!

Eh, wha, what

I karate-chopped Leaffa at the back of her neck so shell lose consciousness. The stunned Leaffa fell to the ground, so I used all my strength and carried her while running full speed.

After all of this, you really have to treat me to eat-all-you-can cake, meowwwww!!!

My physical limit has already been exceeded. I forcibly moved my body with magic. I know I wont be able to move 2-3 days from now, so I didnt want to do this, but now I cant grumble about this, meow!!!

I continued running away with all my might from the intense raging fire that gained momentum due to Leaffas magic.

After running for a while, I finally saw someone.

Eh, Merdie!?

Hey, both of you, run away now, meow, fire is coming, meow!!!

Eh T, the forest is burning..

Mai, can you control that fire?

I cant! Maybe thats the fire knight we saw a while back. That flame doesnt listen to my command at all! Mei, cant you do something with water magic!?

Its impossible! The whole forest is already on fire. You cant extinguish that kind of flame unless you bring a Leviathan!

Leviathan: Mythological Sea Monsters (ctto, taken from Google Images)

Then

Yup

Lets escape (meow)! (All)

Whoaaaaaaa!!!! (All)

Mai and Mei took the lead, and I continued to run as if I was chasing them.

After that, I ran for a few minutes.

Im truly at the limit.

My mana is running out.

Is this the end?

thats what I thought then

Oh, Merdie, Mai and MeiAnd Leaffa What happened? Is Leaffa okay?

Halt and his follower Youko was standing there.

Haaa, Haaa, w.. we.. were.. be.. being chased by.. d.. demons Huff, huff Leaffa tried to counter-attack, but the demon exploded and set the forest on fire, meow!!

So, Leaffa fainted by the demons attack?

Ah, no, Leaffa wont budge, so I hit and stunned her, meow

Ahh, is that so Wait, Merdie, your ending word is just like a cat.

Ahhh, rather than spouting nonsense, lets all escape, meow!!

Yes, lets escape! (Mai and Mei)

The fire finally reached us.

Ah, but everyones already tired, right? Rest, Ill extinguish the fire.

Hah??

Is he out of his mind, meow?

The forests already in a blaze, meow!?

Theres no way he can extinguish this all by himself, meow!!

Halt extended his arm and started to release mana. He formed a magic circle with that.

Advanced-level magic, meow?

Aqua Lance!

Contrary to my predictions, Halt cast elementary-level water magic.

Theres no way beginner magic can quench that fire, meow!!!

I tried to shove it away, but theres something strange with this In the first place, beginner magic doesnt need magic circles. That circle also looked odd.

Its like the circles used for summoning

Suddenly, a large amount of water overflowed from Halts magic circle. A gorgeous woman holding a trident appeared in the water.

Halt, its been a long time.

Ah, its been a while. Have you been well?

Just so so. Hmm, lately, Ive been lonely because you didnt summon me.

Sorry, Sorry.

Halt and Ms. Gorgeous were chatting. While they were at it, we were being surrounded by flames, but the water from the magic circle formed a dome around us and served as a barrier against the flames.

E, excuse me Are you perhaps the Water Spirit King, Undine?

Mei tried to talk to the beauty.

Oh, arent you Mai-sama and Mei-sama? How are you? Hows the human world? Did you find any potential contractors?

The summoned beauty seems to be acquainted with Mai, Mei, and Halt.

No, not yet Pardon me, but do you have a contract with Halt?

Thats right. Ah, I know! If you havent decided on a contractor yet, why dont you consider Halt?

Eh?

This one is a tough guy. He even had a good fight with the Sea God.

Poseidon-sama?

I really admire his strength, so I proposed a contract with him.

Ehhh!?

If you havent decided on a contractor yet, I recommend Halt. Im sure your father will also be satisfied.

We..W, we will consider it carefully.

I dont really get it, but one things sure Halt is strong.

The water from the circle suddenly moved away from the dome on its own and spread towards the burning trees. The fire was finally extinguished.

My fatigue was wiped out, and Leaffas consciousness was all restored by Halt earlier.

Sorry for earlier, Leaffa.

No, Im the one who should apologize, I did not keep my cool. Thank you for carrying me all the way here.

Its great that both of you were safe. By the way, what kind of monster did you meet that caused the forest to catch fire?

After we calmed down, Halt asked us.

Its probably this, right?

Undine-sama brought the ball of fire trapped inside a water chamber.

Ah!!! Yes!! Thats it!!!

Leaffa pointed to the mass of fire, which had the shape of a knight.
