I don't know if the other party is aware of the secret of this mansion. But it's impossible not to be spotted walking in the middle of the corridor by yourself. This was a bad habit brought by the magician, and the gray cat secretly complained to herself, forgetting to walk against the wall, and hiding it as much as possible.

In order not to clash head-on, Hardy jumped on the windowsill on the side of the hallway and jumped out. In fact, he jumped onto the rain cover of the outer wall, intending to turn back and follow the other party to see his intentions. After thinking about it, he walked a short distance and went around a small corner of the wall. You don't have to let people poke their heads out of the window and see themselves.

Winter nights in the holy city are snowy and the temperature is low. But for a seasoned demon cat, it's not a big deal. Hardy waited quietly. In a moment, a figure crept by. The footsteps are very soft, almost nonexistent. If it weren't for the cat's keen senses, it might have been overlooked. But the other party didn't deliberately check out the window to see the movement of the cat that had just run out.

By Hardy's standards, the intruder's stealth skills are pretty good. However, it seems that some experience is lacking. Didn't check out the window, didn't close the window, just thought about leaving everything as it was, not thinking about minimizing possible variables.

Although the window is only open with a crack, it is not a big problem for the cat, and it is enough to turn over the head. And Hardy can still do not squeeze through, but gently and skillfully shrink through, without moving the door or window. Jumping down the hallway lightly and deftly, a little further behind the intruder, keeping the hallway's automatic lights on, rather than abruptly blacking out and lit up again.

Hardy paid attention to tucking his claws into his feet, landing only on the balls of flesh, which was almost like a move with a magical mute.

Several times, the intruder seemed to sense something strange behind him and jerked his head back. Despite the neatness of the other man's movements, there was still a hint of a sign that the gray cat noticed, allowing Hardy to always shrink behind the pillar next to the hallway before the man turned back. The pillars are actually only slightly protruding from the wall, which is not enough to hide people, but it is more than enough to hide a petite cat.

Follow the intruder all the way upstairs, and it seems that the target of the other party is the human mage who lives in the attic. Along the way, the gray cat complained in his heart, he was frightened by the lineup of members of the magician's family before, and thought that this was some dangerous place. As a result, any little thief can break in, and he also walks on the street as if he is in a no-man's land.

What the hell is this! There is no security at all.

To give the human mage a warning, Hardy decided to strike at the last minute. After teaching the magician a lesson, he will save the other man. It shouldn't matter if you scratch a little skin, or break your hands and feet. Anyway, they can heal themselves with magic, or they will be fine if they lick their saliva.

The gray cat, who had made up his mind, did not let down his guard at all, so as not to be noticed by the intruder who was being tracked in front of him. Even if the ladder that humans walk on is not so cat-friendly, with a little care, no one will find out.

There was only one room in the small attic, and there was only one person sleeping in it. Originally, I thought that there were so many females in this room, including the lich who didn't know if it belonged to a human or not, and there should be someone sleeping with this human, and even mating. But to Hardy's surprise, the human was sleeping alone.

According to the gray cat's cognition, the creatures that will be in heat all the time, except for rabbits, are humans. In the past, when staying in the castle of the nobles, at night, there would be mating everywhere in that castle. As for the relationship being too messy, Hardy has not been able to clarify who is with whom.

Oh, in addition to humans, there are goblins, orcs, dwarves, elves, these creatures that walk on two legs are almost the same, without any warning, they will somehow come into heat, and then find the opposite sex to mate. Some even look for same-sex ......

I don't understand, I don't understand.

The door to the attic room was unlocked, and the intruder pushed it open. The skylight that had been used for stargazing had been closed, and the human magician was sleeping in his bed, unaware of the intrusion.

Late at night, especially in winter, there is no sound of insects, and it is very quiet. In the room, there was only the faint snoring of the human magician. But the intruder's breathing suddenly became a little rougher. Hardy knows it's an ebb and flow in mood.

Just look at the figure with only the outline, and pull out a dull dagger. The strange color of the blade, and the smell of the cat's nose, Hardy knew that it was a poisoned dagger. In the mouths of other humans, it is called a despicable weapon, because if you are injured by this dagger, you will die quickly, and you usually cannot be saved.

I wanted to teach the human mage a lesson, but I didn't want his life. So, it's time to stop it.

With the sharp claws popping out, Hardy is not a house cat, but a battle-hardened cat warrior. I don't know how many people drink hatred under its claws and fangs, in addition to demons, monsters, and even humans.

Almost as soon as the intruder raised his dagger, Hardy lunged forward, baring his teeth and screaming!

At the moment when the gray cat pounced, the scenery in the attic room changed completely, and it became a strange space with pitch black up and down, left and right, and only a little starlight. Before the gray cat and the intruder could react, countless white rays of light shot out from all directions, and they were fleeting!

The attic was restored to its original state, and it was still made of wood. The telescope was placed under the skylight, and the human magician was still asleep in bed, just overturned.

The sudden change also disrupted the rhythm of the attack. The gray cat swooped forward and crashed headlong into the intruder, knocking him apart on the spot.

The stunned gray cat bared its teeth and fell to the ground, sprinkled with blood. It's intestines and pieces of flesh, some of which fall to the side, and some of which fall directly into the body. Hardy didn't understand what was going on, and just maintained the fierce expression of the moment he pounced.

Suddenly, the door of the room, which had been closed by the intruder, opened again, and a dark-haired, brown-skinned girl in her pajamas yawned in. Then the human magician was on the bed and asked, "Who?" ”

"Teacher, it's Kaya."

"What's wrong, there's something going on?"

"There are intruders again."

"Oh, let's do it as usual."

"Okay."

Because both of them are still half-asleep and half-awake, the dialogue is very brief, and basically the key words are not mentioned much.

In fact, no matter whether her teacher woke up or not, and gave such a command, the girl was the same way to deal with it. With a wave of his short wand, a simple but skillful transfer technique made the pile of flesh on the ground, along with the large pool of blood flowing out, float. A gray cat dressed in red is also among them.

Kaya, who was looking at everything and seeing that everything was hazy, took a special bag of baggage and gathered everything in the baggage cloth. Carrying it on his shoulders, he headed for the expanded building on the east side of the main house.

Pushing open the connecting door, I was greeted by a fishy exhale. Kaya didn't seem to be surprised, and she wasn't fully awake, and said, "Grandpa, I'm here to deliver supper." ”

The black dragon lying on the ground in its original posture raised its eyelids and saw that the person who came was a girl carrying a burden, and the heavy eyelids closed again. The intact front paw moved, and Augustus said, "Put it in the old place, it just happens to be a little hungry." ”

"Okay." In response, Kaya placed the burden on a large copper basin. After untying it, he shook it a few times and pulled out the furoshira. Only the pile of human-shaped pieces of meat was left in the basin, and the gray cat.

After doing all this, she rolled up the baggage cloth casually, and the girl planned to go back to sleep. I'll pick up the rest tomorrow.

At this time, Hadi, who rolled into the copper basin, was still confused.

Augustus' claws reached out, and he casually twisted the most delicious piece of 'meat' and was about to send it to his mouth.

Maybe the black dragon is quite old, but the teeth don't fall out like old humans, at most the bite force has regressed, not as strong as when it was young. But the interlaced fangs still shone with a terrifying light, even if it was only in the moonlight, still bringing back the 'pieces of meat' that were about to be imported. The gray cat began to wriggle, struggle, and bark.

The cat's meow in the middle of the night was very disturbing, and most of Augustus' sleepy insects were immediately driven away. He closed his mouth and lifted one of his eyelids again, revealing a cat that had been caught by himself. The old dragon asked, "Well, are you here for supper, or are you here for supper?" ”

'Put me down!' Put me down! Hardy, who doesn't choose to speak, doesn't care if he has a lingua franca or not, he just barks in the beast language. At the same time, he twisted his body desperately, trying to scratch the black dragon with the claws of his hind legs, so that he could let go of the pain and let go, so that he could break free from a piece of life.

It's a pity that cat's claws are just cat's paws. Even if the old dragon's scales fall off, revealing the old flesh underneath, it is not something that the kitten can scratch. But Augustus let go of his hand and let Hardy fall to the ground.

Now that he was half-awake, Augustus was no longer slow. Directly pick up the copper basin and pour it into the dragon's mouth. A few clicks, just puff, spit out some of the things that he can't bite now.

Finally, he picked up a long sword that had just shown signs of corrosion and picked his teeth. At the same time, he looked at the 'little' cat in front of him with a strange expression and a complicated mood.

Realizing that the black dragon didn't try to catch himself again, or even eat his intentions, Hardy didn't know whether to retreat or what to do for a while. Instead, Augustus spoke first, "Little one, how did you run into my plate?" That's not a good habit. ”

'Well, I just spotted an intruder. Hardy tried to organize his own language, and replied in the language of the beast: 'Anyway, I just saw the one that suddenly turned black, and there were many flashes of white light. Then when I came to my senses, there it was. But honestly, the gray cat still doesn't quite know what he's seeing.

"Oh, here we go again. It's good to get used to it, anyway, there will be a group of people every once in a while. A while ago, there was a group of dark-skinned, pointy-eared ones, and the elastic teeth were soft, and eating them made me nostalgic for the past. The black dragon sighed inexplicably.
