Back to Mimi.
Since Master Emilia was already pushing herself and training hard since early morning, as her first and only dear companion beast, Mimi couldn’t possibly allow herself to slack off!
She told herself that—and her tiny chest puffed out with fierce determination.
Alright, let’s train!
She let out a low, serious ow to pump herself up. Even her tail stood tall with resolve.
But... there was a problem.
Where should she even start?
Or rather, how the heck was a Noctifelis supposed to train to get stronger?
For humans, it was straightforward. They could hit the gym, swing a sword, practice magic, or even spar with each other. But Mimi? She was just a small black cat, barely the size of a loaf of bread, and couldn’t even hold a stick because she lacked a thump.
Thus, what was she supposed to do now to train? Climb trees? Bust her furry ass and run a hundred laps around the mansion courtyard? Maybe practice her hunting skills on poor, unsuspecting butterflies?
"hh..." she groaned, plopping down dramatically, her tail thumping the floor in thought.
Then—ding!—a thought struck her.
Oh right! I have the daily missions!
Yeah, daily missions. Even though most of them were absolute ass, they were at least sothing. And who knew—maybe today’s mission and reward would actually be decent!
With that hope in her heart, Mimi raised her paw and, with a flourish, pulled down her mission board from her imaginary system.
***
[Daily Mission #1: Scratch the couch 100 tis!]
[Reward: 0.02 EXP; 0.02 Evolution Points (not affected by daily cap!)]
"Oooh! It’s the sa mission as yesterday!" Mimi exclaid, her eyes shining.
But before she could celebrate, another notification suddenly popped up.
[DING! RANDOM EVENT! EPIC MISSION UPGRADE!]
[Daily Mission #1 changed to: Scratch the couch 500 tis!]
[Reward: 0.1 EXP; 0.1 Evolution Points (not affected by daily cap!)]
[Do you want to except this mission upgrade?]
[Y/N?]
"WAHHH! THIS IS AWESO!" Mimi squealed, her tail twitching with excitent.
Yes! Sotis, these random upgrades happen. The system would throw you a curveball: a harder mission, but with better rewards. The chance was crazy rare, so whenever it appeared, you had to snatch it up imdiately!
However...
The rewards still sucked, though. Totally not worth the effort.
But... well... scratching the couch was fun. And at least it wasn’t sothing disgusting like eating cockroaches!
So yeah. Easy choice. She was in.
"YES!" Mimi owed.
[Ding! Mission upgrade excepted!]
[Daily Mission #1: Scratch the couch 500 tis!]
[Reward: 0.1 EXP; 0.1 Evolution Points (not affected by daily cap!)]
"Hahaha! Let’s go!"
With a decisive flick of her tail, Mimi leapt down from the window ledge. She strutted toward the poor, dood couch, her battlefield for the day, her tiny paws hitting the floor with the confidence of a general marching off to war.
And then, just as she arrived at the couch...
"Nyrrgghhh!!!"
She stretched long and low, arching her back like a bow, loosening her muscles, her tail twitching in anticipation.
Then—shing!
On her command, her claws extended with a deadly snikt! gleam, glinting dangerously in the sunlight like tiny daggers of doom.
Mwahahaha! Couch, your end has co!
And with that, Mimi launched her furious assault!
She scratched and scratched! Scratching with all her might, clawing, ripping, shredding! Fluff and fabric flew everywhere as the once-proud couch fell victim to the tiny terror’s relentless, gleeful onslaught.
***
Monts later, she was almost done!
The floor had beco a battlefield of fluff, fabric, and shredded threads—evidence of the massacre that had befallen the poor couch.
"Waaaah! That felt so good!" Mimi purred, smiling contentedly, her little chest puffed up with pride. She was only a few scratches away from completing her first daily quest of the day, and she was feeling unstoppable.
Now she truly understood why cats were so addicted to scratching furniture, curtains, and random human belongings.
Because it felt amazing!
Every swipe of her claws sent a delicious shiver racing down her spine, as if her very soul whispered: Yes... this is what I was born to do!
The resistance of the couch against her claws only made each strike more satisfying, like slicing through destiny itself. And oh, the sound—rrrttt! RRRtttt! RRRRrrrttttt!—each rip was like music to her ears. It was so therapeutic, so addictive, and so damn glorious!
Her paws tingled with pleasure, her muscles loosened, even her whiskers quivered with joy. This wasn’t just scratching, it was art, it was battle, it was life!
Oh my, cats surely are creatures of destruction aren’t they?
And then... ca the grand finale.
The last scratch.
Mimi raised her paw high, her athyst eyes narrowing with fierce determination.
Then—SLASHHH!!
She slashed all her might, unleashing a devastating claw attack that tore deep into the helpless couch!
Then she headbutted it for no reason!
Fluff exploded upward in a glorious shower, drifting and tumbling down like tiny snowflakes of victory.
"Nyahahahaha!" Mimi laughed triumphantly.
The quest was complete!
[ Ding! Daily Mission #1: Scratch the couch 500 tis—completed! ]
[ Ding! Reward received! ]
[ Experience 0.1 ]
[ Progress to level 2: (0.12/100) ]
[ Evolution points 0.1 ]
[ Progress to the next evolution:( 0.32/1000)! ]
Mimi stared at the glowing numbers in her imaginary system window.
Well, watching the teeny tiny gains on her exp and evolution progress bar, Mimi couldn’t help but feel demotivated a little bit.
Fuck daily missions!
Why am I even doing this crap?
She thought, then rolled onto her back dramatically, letting out a long, defeated groan. Then, puffing her cheeks in frustration, she flipped back onto her paws.
"Alright, fine! Onto the next mission!" she declared. Her whiskers twitched.
"But if it’s sothing gross like eating a cockroach again... I swear, I’m abandoning it! I’ll just climb trees or run laps around the mansion instead. At least that won’t make puke!"
However...
Ding!
The new mission appeared. Mimi froze, her eyes widening.
[Daily Mission #2: Go take a big poop!]
[Reward: 0.02 EXP; 0.02 Evolution Points (not affected by daily cap!)]
