[Oscar POV]
We entered a portal-type dungeon yesterday at . The portal appeared 3 days ago in Earth's ti, the ti in other dinsions sotis flows differently.
Anyway, my point is dungeon overflow usually erge from portal-type dungeons after a week of it appearing, so we have 4 days in earth's ti left to clear this dungeon.
As we are exploring the dungeon, we reached a adow full of herbs, we got an appraiser so we confird that those are herbs.
"What do you think guildmaster?"
I asked Sir Clifford, we are in a forest type terrain so it's pretty normal seeing herbs here, but there are too many in one place that it's suspicious.
"I don't know, but let's not overthink. Herbs are valuable, that's all."
Sir Clifford said, what he's saying is correct, there's a huge amount of herbs in front of us, it will be stupid of us not to harvest it.
While thinking so, I rembered that there's sothing following us, I can't sense it anymore which made frown.
'What is it doing?'
I asked inwardly.
"Let's get it all!"
Then our appraiser exclaid happily, I still have so doubts about the situation but I didn't stop him from approaching the herbs.
But as he was reaching out one of the herbs.
Sothing landed in front of him.
Tap-
What appeared is a black cat, we all got alard of its sudden appearance so we took our fighting stances.
'Where did it ca from?'
I asked myself frustratedly as my trait's effect, , didn't detect the cat approaching.
"You should all calm down if you don't want to get hurt."
It was then, the cat talked. My eyes widened, and as I was about to speak.
I felt a sudden majestic presence coming from the cat, it made feel like I'm standing in front of soone superior.
Which made have complicated thoughts. The sa can be said to the others as it's all shown in their expressions.
Luckily for us, Sir Clifford walked forward, standing few centiters away from the cat.
Sir Clifford looked down at it.
"What do you an by your words?"
He asked as his presence beca bigger and bigger.
'I still think guildmaster is aweso every ti he's like that.'
Anyone subjected to such presence will have a problem at breathing. But contrary to what I and the others thought, we saw the cat casually looking at guildmaster in the eyes, it's not even showing a hint of fear.
'Unbelievable...'
Disbelief washed all over , and as I was in daze...
"As I said, you'll get hurt fighting ."
The cat replied calmly to Sir Clifford.
"Why so?"
Sir Clifford asked again, but now in a more threatening tone.
The cat didn't answer imdiately and looked at the mbers of our group one by one.
"If I was killed, my killer and their relatives will receive a curse, that's why."
The cat then said unenthusiastically.
Sir Clifford frowned at the cat's words, not just him, but also us who heard the cat's words put a complicated expression on our face.
"Doesn't that an it's okay to attack you as long as we don't kill you?"
Sir Clifford said and emitted a more heavy pressure. It's strong enough to make and the others slightly step back.
Though, the cat didn't even bat an eye. And that surprised the hell out of us.
'That cat have sothing more on it other than speaking human language!'
We all thought as we beca wary of the cat.
"Are you sure that's the best choice? If you hurt , a neutral being, you will just harbor negative impression to other non-hostile creatures here."
The cat stated casually, we can't deny what it said.
"So what do you want? That we should not take any herbs?"
Sir Clifford asked in a angry tone, he's unpleased by the thought of not taking the herbs.
Well, everyone in our group is disapointed by that.
But contrary to our expectations, the cat shook its head.
"You can take 3/4 of the herbs here."
Its words surprised us.
"Why would you give us that much?"
This ti I asked, I didn't hide my doubt but who would decline such offer imdiately?
The cat looked at , it didn't talk imdiately and just frowned.
But after a few seconds, it opened its mouth.
"As I said, I'm a neutral being. And all the evil beings are bothering , so I want you guys to kill them for ."
Its cold monotonous voice made frown.
"And why would we do that?"
Now Sir Clifford asked the cat with a prideful tone.
"Because it's the best choice for you guys."
The cat replied with a smirk.
"You might be thinking that the curse I said is just bullshit but..."
after a short pause.
"What if it's true?"
The cat said mischievously. Its words made our mind complicated, the cat is clearly playing psychological ga with us.
"Also, evil beings will attack you guys the second they saw you without hesitation, so in the end, you guys will kill them either way, even if it's my request or not. So my offer is the best way of getting free herbs safely, right?"
The cat explained with a smug expression and tone.
It looked at us one by one. And in the end, its eyes went back to Sir Clifford. It's eyes shows no clear emotion, just boredom can be seen from the cat's face.
"Don't take unnecessary risk because of your greed."
The cat said as a warning to us. His tone and eyes are like testing us.
There's an uncomfortable silence for a while, all the guild mbers are tense and nervous, to be honest I'm fine accepting the cat's offer.
After a while, Sir Clifford looked at the cat seriously.
"You're a good talker, we'll take 3/4."
Sir Clifford stated.
The cat smiled and wings grew on its back.
"Just as I thought so."
It said and then flew away.
"What the fuck... A talking and flying cat."
One of our male mbers said, following his words. The others questioned themselves too what the fuck they had just seen.

[Raven's POV]
"Phew..."
I sighed as I saw Clifford and the others left, as we agreed on, they just took 3/4 of the herbs in the adow.
"That pressure is on another level."
I frowned as I rember Clifford emitting a heavy pressure on earlier.
