Being entangled by this kitten was a surprise to Lan En.

At that time, I was at the research base, and I hadn't returned to the star stronghold.

That night, the kitten tensed and knocked on Lane's door.

Although he tried hard to make himself look mature and bold, the fried hair still showed the nervousness of this three-flowered kitten.

"Is there anything wrong with you?"

Lan En crouched down and greeted the kitten kindly.

Although the armor has been taken off, the huge difference in body shape and weight is still very contrasting.

The kitten had been bold and careful in previous battles, but it didn't seem to be good at interpersonal communication.

Therefore, the speech is stumbling, and the tail is wagging behind him.

"Just, meow, I heard I'm a cursed cat?"

It turned, showing its back to Lane.

It was the place where the deer's head was once scratched, and now, the cat hair there showed an inconspicuous magical pattern.

But there's no Chaos magic on it.

Lan En patted the pattern, reassuring the flannel ball.

"The deer head spirit has been banished, and there is no magic in this pattern. What's wrong? Is it your companion who has a pimple in his heart? ”

The Witcher remembered the other two kittens of the Thief Adventure Group, and it was normal for him to be sensitive to the 'curse' after meeting such a powerful and eerie monster as the Deer Head Spirit.

Although the two kittens looked like they were going to live and die together after rushing out, it may have been just a moment of blood.

"No, honeydew and cotton are comforting meow."

Flannel Ball hurriedly tilted his head and explained.

After saying that, he lowered his head again.

"It's just, just to be on the safe side, I shouldn't be able to stay in the Land Coral Plateau and the Valley of Miasma, right?"

Lan En pursed his lips and didn't speak.

Although this deer head spirit has been banished, there may be other deer head spirits who came here in the future with those ownerless and undiscovered totems as clues.

As for the curse on the flannel ball, Lan En couldn't tell what the situation was.

The deer head essence is a mysterious monster, and even the demon hunters don't know much about them.

And after a moment of unspeakable silence, Sanhua Kitten suddenly raised her head and looked at Lan En seriously.

"Lord Lann! Let me follow you on an adventure and become a follower cat! ”

"Huh?"

Lan leaned back in surprise.

The flannel ball clenched its little paws on its chest, and its big eyes were full of longing.

"Together with Lord Lann, I fought against an awesome monster like the Deer Head! In battle, I'm sure you're a powerful hunter! That's what I'm trying to do with my life! ”

Lan En scratched his head, although he had heard that the Valley Marauders were the most aggressive and courageous tribe of the Detr, and the retinue cats were all eager to take risks and train themselves to seek out the hunters as their retinues.

But he didn't expect that he would encounter this kind of thing one day.

But after some thought, Lan refused the flannel ball.

"The adventure I'm going to go through may be very different from your concept of 'adventure', kitten."

The witcher looked at the three-flowered cat with the same serious expression.

"It's not as simple as meeting a monster and then crusading against it. I've seen many more. Not much to say. Sometimes the most terrifying thing is not the monster that can be dealt with with the sword, but the darkness that creates the monster. ”

"If you want to say that, then I'm not afraid of meow!"

But even though Lan En had refused, the flannel ball became more determined.

"Born in the Valley of Miasma, I won't be afraid of a terrifying challenge! Unlike your well-to-do humans, we have had a turf war between tribes in the Valley of Miasma! In order to survive, you must be brave! ”

"And you can't scare me if you say 'dark side' or something! I've heard that in the Old World, there are still Ailu cats who can be 'secret agents' and 'ninja cats'! ”

"If those cats can do these shadowy occupations, then if I follow you, I will never be as endurable as they meow!"

"Follow me?" Lan En was puzzled for a moment, "What does it matter?" ”

"Because Lord Lan doesn't belong to the 'dark side', does he?"

Flannel Ball hugged his chest with a pair of small paws, shook the small triangular ears on his head, and said firmly.

"I've heard everything the Grand Master said about the investigation team!"

"Lord Lann is a good person!"

I don't know if it's the cat's intuition or something else, but in short, Lan En is a little powerless to refute.

And in the end, what relieved Lan En was the lonely expression of the last flannel ball lowering his little head.

"Honeydew and Cotton care about me, but I also feel that they still have fear in the adventure."

"But it's normal, right? Even if it is a powerful hunter, after encountering the paralyzing thief dragon group, the booming dragon, and the deer head spirit one after another, he is thankful that he is not frightened. ”

"The two of them don't even have their own weapons in the first place, and Meow estimates that it won't be long before the thief adventure group will be disbanded. After all, I can't take the fear of not seeing them and force them to go on adventures with me as a friend. ”

Its small triangular ears lay low on its head.

The curse of the deer head, to be on the safe side, can only keep it away from the tribe. And the fear of the two partners in the adventure group made it lose its group.

For social animals, this is indeed too cruel.

"Whew~" Lan En could only sigh, his big hand pressed on the little head in front of him.

And the three-flower kitten raised its head in anticipation.

"If you can't stand it in the future, remember to inform me in time, remember? The contract can be terminated, right? ”

"Meow!"

The flannel ball jumped up happily as he pulled out the retinue cat contract that had been prepared long ago.

Witnessed by the smiling mother-in-law of the dragon people at the research base, the human signed the contract and pressed the handprint. And cats also leave their own small paw prints.

From this moment on, Flann Ball will fight and work with Lane, and as a corresponding responsibility, Lann will need to provide food and lodging, and teach Flannel Ball to become a powerful hunting cat.

Quite unpretentious, with a contract in the style of the hunters of this world.

Lan En walked out of front of the gate of the Star Stronghold with Flannel Ball, and Honeydew and Cotton had already said goodbye to Flannel Ball at this time.

According to it, one of them is now working under the chef, and the other is helping out at the cauldron of alchemy.

Sure enough, I have developed a fear of adventure.

However, looking at the appearance of the flannel ball, it seems to be relieved about the current situation of its partners.

Not everyone yearns for the unknown and adventure, and a stable life is also worth pursuing.

Flannel balls understand this.
