Chapter 59: The Kid, The Cat, and the The Food
A fight so intense one could see sparks flying at the exchange of gaze. The battle o species, cats versus a feral human(?) child.
Colt looked at the situation with both bewildernt and interest in his eyes. As he swallowed a spoonful he comnted, “I bet on the hu…”
“Nya!?”
“…The Great Cats for the win. Go Fluff, take back what is rightfully yours.”
Fluff turned its head towards the humans and as the child looked at the danger that is the six cats, it gave no shit and took a bite off the at.
“Yum!” A simple word escaped the child’s mouth and as the cats saw the irredeemable damage caused by the child, Fluff and the other five charged forth!
The fight had begun! The guards did nothing to stop the fight as they all watched with interest, so were betting to the grand battle that is before them.
The grueling was filled with bloodlust as the fight beca more and more intense every ti the feral child took a bite of the at. The roars of the cats exploded and brandished their claws!
“Hoaaa! Fury…not lose to cats!”
“Nyaaa!” [For the at!]
The roars on both sides intensified as ti went forth and, in the end, the victor was decided. The cats won, but at what price? The at had been damaged, only a third of it remained.
As they stood at the battered body of the feral child and took back what is theirs, the cats won the fight but lost the war. Their hatred grew and as Fluff walked towards the feral kid, it readied itself to finish the fight.
The child looked at the eyes of Fluff, and the smirked as it roared!
“I regret nothing!”
“Myaaaa!”
Pat!
“Okay that’s enough, leave the food and go to Mina. She cooked so food for you guys.”
Fluff was lightly tapped on its head as Colt crouched down while holding a plate of another serving of at. Fluff and the five cats turned to look at Mina who had finished cooking in the midst of the grand duel for supremacy.
The cats’ expression blood but as they all turned their heads back to the child all of them snorted at the loser.
“Myaaa!” Fluff did not forget to say so last words before heading to Mina’s side for so food they deserved.
Colt looked at them leave with light steps as he now turned to the kid, “The cats said you’re lucky that I arrived here on ti else they would have cut you down…you still hungry, kid?”
The feral looking kid looked at Colt with his head still on the ground and nodded after so ti. Slowly, he got up and accepted the food he was given.
“Thank you.” He said as he began gobbling up the food he was given. The at on the plate was several tis more than what he had stolen from the cats. With a satisfied expression on his face, no one could stop him from eating now.
“It seems like you are capable of speech and so manners. Kid, do you have a na?”
“Fury.” He stated as he ate with delight.
‘Still doesn’t ring a bell. He has no surna so he’s not from nobility.’
After reading a lot of stories, like novels, webtoons and mangas, Leo had developed an eye that can see through a possible major character. And from the oversized cloth the kid treats as a shirt, Colt could tell that he bores an imnse strength.
Those brisk hair and unique pair of eyes that radiate power, Colt could tell that this kid was soone important for the plot. Also, the na Fury is not given to a re mob character who will not do anything. So, Colt is pretty sure this kid is an important character from his na alone.
But there is one thing that worries Colt, and that is he could not tell if he was a future villain or so hero that appeared beyond Vol. 6, he is simply clueless.
The only information he has about Vol. 6 and above is through spoilers found in reviews and his own speculation. However, Colt could not rember anyone that could fit this child before him.
In the end, Colt could only use the only reasonable thing he can do in a situation where he does not know who’s who and that is to befriend them.
‘I can’t risk dying because I don’t know the enemy.’ In any story, a young master such as himself can get taken down because he mistook the MC or a mber of MCs crew for a small fry when he himself is the small fry.
Colt doesn’t want to end up like that. He need not be taught a lesson by anyone, he knows his place. So, when he got to this world unless soone is being an actual asshole who knows not to control their temper or act like a proper intellectual being then Colt will not do anything that will beget a beating.
“Fury, huh, what are you doing in this place? This is a place where there is no beast to hunt so…are you traveling”
Fury nodded his head, “Fury is traveling from South to North and back to prove himself as a Great Warrior. Fury is currently on the way back ho, three weeks remained before the mission ends so I must not tarry!”
“A mission to return and a great warrior, huh? Then…the fight with cats?”
“Fury was rciful and was hungry! Fury had not eaten for three days now!”
“NYA!” soone was naturally discontent with Fury’s words.
“The cat said bullshit…ignore the cats, you stole their food so please don’t fight anymore, okay?”
A fight was about to erupt once again, but
Fury nodded his head as he controlled his anger.
‘This kid is not a villain.’ Colt could conjecture that much because he was acting obediently, however, there are still so things he could not let go, ‘There are villains who are kind so…the chances are pretty high, ugh! I can’t tell what side he’s on.”
He was still torn on what side the kid was on, but in the end, Colt simply shrugged it off as he observed the kid so more.
From what Colt could observe, Fury was a child whose fist has been tempered. He looks to have no weapon and fights barehanded, so he must be a pugilist.
Fury finished his food and then abruptly stood up, he bowed to Colt and the rest then said, “Fury is thankful for the food, I wish to repay this kindness you have given but I must return to my ho. Please, inform of my benefactor’s na so I know who I must see to repay in the future.”
“It’s Colt Edgeworth, I am of the Regalus Kingdom.”
“Fury shall rember thy na, but Fury cannot rest now for the journey is still long…the food was delicious, this is farewell.”
Fury bowed once again and then left in a hurry causing Colt to have a weird expression on his face.
‘Well, it seems like the kid is a whirlwind. I just hope you don’t beco trouble later.’ Colt hoped for the best outco.
He didn’t expect Fury to leave as fast as he arrived. But this is also good for him as this will erase any trouble that may arise from this eting.
That weird night however is not a simple one for Colt, and as he rembers that night, he would always curse it for different reasons.
And after the kid disappeared, their travels did not last long as they soon reached their destination.
