"Can I hug her?" I pointed straight at the cat girl, startling both her and the other won.
"Go ahead!" the blonde boy said with a big grin, giving a thumbs-up from his bondage.
Sweet!!
I tore off the vines wrapped around her and scooped her into my arms like a fluffy doll.
Awww!!
She was so soft and fuzzy, her cheeks, her ears, her tail, everything about her was just unreal! She squird at first, clearly not used to being hugged like this, but eventually, she gave in and started enjoying the petting.
"Uhm... we also need saving..." the elf muttered under her breath, "Without the sexual harassnt, of course."
"How rude!" I snapped back, still gently rubbing the cat girl’s belly. "I’m just playing with her respectfully! Sure, there are things I’d like to do, but I’m holding back—she’s not actually a cat doll, after all!"
"Don’t listen to Irene, Hero!" the blonde boy chid in, "After what you did for us, I’ll even sell her to you!"
So... she’s not going to be free, huh?
Levi eventually arrived on the scene.
"Now, as my Lord has saved you," she looked down at them, her gaze unflinching, "what, excluding the cat, do you have as an offering to him? Depending on your answer, you might end up as dessert for so very large rats in a village not too far from here."
The won flinched, clearly anxious not to say anything that could be taken the wrong way.
Yet their leader remained as cheerful as ever.
"What the hell!" he exclaid with a grin. "Giant rats?! You’re not talking about those stubborn Hell rats that live alongside the isolated Nor-dwarves, are you?"
"They are precisely what I’m referring to," Levi replied with a nod.
"We’ll give you all our money! Just take us to see one!" the blonde leader exclaid, shocking his party.
"Wait... Nico! How are we going to survive if we do that?!" the elf, whose na I think was Irene, scolded him.
Nico turned to her, a mischievous gleam in his eyes. "So naïve, Irene dear. If they actually take us to et the rare-as-hell Nor-dwarves, we could co back with powerful, one-of-a-kind equipnt. Maybe even so food if we beg well enough."
Nico, please... keep those ulterior motives locked away in your insidious little mind.
Apparently, Nico was an adventurer, and his harem was made up of his party mbers.
"Levi, I think we just t the protagonist of TSP. So it wasn’t after all."
Levi had no idea what I was talking about. She didn’t have any forbidden mories, it seed.
{You shouldn’t have, either.}
Anyway, the group had apparently co all the way out here in search of rare monsters. They’d hoped to cash in by selling off the monster parts, but due to their greed, they wandered too deep into the Hades Border.
In the end, they were kidnapped by Kaiserfoot, and on top of that, they lost all their equipnt in the process.
"I believe I saw an adventurer-looking trio yesterday," I said, holding my chin thoughtfully. "They struck as a bunch of reckless idiots with no regard for their own safety."
"Ah, that sounds like us!" Nico bead.
"No. It’s just you, Nico," the elf replied flatly.
"No, it wasn’t you guys I saw," I said. "One was a blonde woman. The others were a fat man and soone with their hair tied back."
It turned out those three were actually well-known... famous for being fools,. apparently. And their nas? Blonde, Chubby, and Ponytail. How unbelievably generic.
Levi released the others and emptied their pockets, taking all the money they had left. The elf looked visibly upset, unable to stop glancing at the tyrant’s hand full of coins.
Levi was being a dictator again. And since Nico seed happy to be extorted, I found it awkward to step in.
Well, the least I could do was invite them to the village for the festival. It was actually a fun festival, if we ignore the reason for the event.
"I’m Ruben, by the way," I introduced myself to them as we walked out of the cave. "That bully over there is Levina."
"It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance," Levi bowed politely. "Please, continue to be good friends with Master Raven."
"Master Raven?" The adventurers raised a brow in confusion.
Right. Levi decided to call Raven since Alicia already called Ruby. I better explain before things get awkward.
"Haha, one would almost connect the na to Ravenwood, the evil Dark Fenrir those town folks worship, right?"
GASP!
"O-Of course not," I quickly waved a hand to dismiss the notion. "Raven is just a nickna Levina gave , since she’s, uh, yeah, a fan of the Dark Fenrir. Right, Levina?"
"No..." She closed her eyes and took a soft breath, suddenly growing serious. "I call you Master Raven because of your deep black hair—dark as the Abyss. It reminds of the Raven... of the night. I love the night, if you have noticed. So, I call you that because I love you with all my heart. It’s a symbolism to ."
Eh...?
I... I didn’t know. I thought she just shortened my original na...
That was kinda... touchi—
(How was that save, Master Raven?! I made sure not to tell them that I just shortened your original na!)
(...Hm. Sure. Nice acting though. Had fooled too.)
Okay, Levi is a bundle of dictatorship!
"Ah, wait!" Nico perked up. "If Levina calls you ’Master,’ does that an you’re a guy?"
"What’s with that?! Of course I’m a guy... technically...!"
Damn Pluto! Giving this misunderstanding form!
It’s androgynous! Not feminine!
And I actually had to fight with all my strength to stop him from turning into this beautiful woman with big breasts and thighs! Ah, the trauma...
As we talked and walked out of the cave, Nico said he never realized there was another... world beneath the one above, and he always wondered how many adventurers had failed to discover Kaiserfoot’s hideout through the centuries.
"About this Ravenwood cult..." Levi began to fish for information.
But before I’d join the gist, I noticed Felina walk closer to .
She was quite short, and that made it nigh impossible not to want to pat her—so I indulged again.
Rubbing her softness all over my body, I felt completely revitalized!
It seems she initially thought I was female, which must be why she let pet her so freely.
But now that she knows I’m actually a guy... she still lets touch her either way! Hurray for cat girls.
I know what you’re probably thinking.
"How in the world is a wolf this attracted to a cat?"
That’s rude! Because that’s basically calling a dog!
Like I’ve stated many tis already, I’m not so ordinary animal. In fact, I’m more of a demigod, if we’re being honest.
Both of my parents are essentially gods: the golden Fenrir and the silver Fenrir.
I’ve only seen them a handful of tis in my life. My father? Maybe just once or twice. I only rember him because he had radiant golden fur.
Mother left in the care of the Asgardian gods when I was still very young. I haven’t seen her since then.
So no, I am not so mindless creature like Dearth always implies.
