Chapter 2: Reincarnated as a black cat
When Hua Wuming woke up, he had already turned into a black cat.
To be precise, Hua Wuming belongs to a race called "cat people", but in infancy, Hua Wuming looks like a cat.
Even after becoming an adult cat person, Hua Wuming is still a two-legged cat, except for having front paws that are easy to hold and a female chest on the chest.
In his previous life, Hua Wuming was a male high school student living in Huaxia, but he was bullied because he was identified as a disgusting otaku, and was pushed down the stairs by a classmate's prank, and died unconsciously.
When Hua Wuming learned that he was reincarnated as a cat man, anger, hatred, and sadness threw his mood into chaos, and Hua Wuming cried and moaned, but eventually gave up.
Hua Wuming didn't get any system gold fingers or anything.
I wasn't summoned to this world, so I didn't know how to return to my original world, and I probably didn't have a way at all.
In this case, Hua Wuming can only enjoy the life of a cat man, but this world is distorted.
Larger races look similar to humans, but smaller races look more like beasts.
Miguel looks like a child dressed in wolf ears and a wolf tail playing a role-play, while Hua Wuming is a cat capable of walking upright.
Although Hua Wuming was wearing clothes, the difference was clear at a glance.
"Hey, you guys. Let's go back. "
After the awakening ceremony, Miguel says he wants to go back to the hotel.
Miguel, Inis, and Hua Wuming, there is nothing to do after the ceremony, while Horacio is communicating with the Knights' Inquisitors about future plans.
"I'll wait for Horacio and then go back together."
"You're trying to get in touch with the future noble."
"Horacio has a slow personality, and if he is left alone, he will definitely get lost."
"Then take him back. Let's go, Innis. "
"Maybe I'll wait for him"
When she left the village, Eniis seemed to have some crush on Miguel, but after the awakening ritual ended, her mindset seemed to change.
For a small village like Azca, being able to select a child with potential by the Knights is indeed a once-in-a-decade event.
Although marrying a nobleman is a fairytale thing for a girl in a mountain village, it is normal for her mood to waver once the opportunity arises.
The head of Azca is hereditary, so there is a good chance that Miguel will become the head of the village in the future, but his personality is very selfish.
In contrast, Horacio has a gentle personality, but he must undergo rigorous training to become a knight, and it is uncertain whether he will succeed in becoming a nobleman.
Inis seems to be weighing her future with the relationship between the two of them.
"If we go back together, we will go to the stall and buy some snacks on the way."
"Really? Then let's go back together. "
Enis is so simple.
Or rather, she's only 10 years old, which is probably a common thing.
The awakening ceremony attracts a lot of spectators, so the streets are filled with many stalls.
For our children who grew up in a mountain village, everything seemed new.
After Horacio returned, Hua Wuming planned to finish his errands and browse the stalls on the way back.
In the meantime, ask for some necessary information and then practice magic.
"Excuse me, can I ask for advice?"
"You're a child of the ceremony. Can I help you? "
Hua Wuming carefully inquired about the situation from passers-by because if he was deceived, he would get nothing, but he was carefully instructed by the nuns of the church.
Since the inquiry went well, Hua Wuming began to practice magic with confidence.
The void attribute magic that Hua Wuming was able to use now was a magical magic.
I'm still in the early stages of validation, but I'm able to pin my hope where I want it to, limited to a library size of space.
The strength is about the same as that of expanded polystyrene, which shatters with a single blow, and once shattered, it dissolves into an invisible fog.
Although there is no conclusive evidence, the fixed range or the strength of the solidified air seems to be related to the strength of the magic.
If you can use more mana, you should be able to cure harder and cover a wider area.
Solidified air, like ordinary air, is invisible to the naked eye.
Although it was invisible to the naked eye, there seemed to be a magic-like connection that allowed Hua Wuming to grasp where it had solidified.
Perhaps because of this magic-like connection, the solidified air can be moved.
Although Hua Wuming has just started to try, so the movements are not fast enough, but after practice, it should get faster and faster.
The shape of the solidified air seems to be freely changeable, as long as it does not exceed the limits of a certain volume.
Although it cannot be cured too large, it can be cured very small or divided into two or three parts.
However, if you try to move the separate cured air separately, it will result in a decrease in the concentration of the cured air and eventual fogging.
However, Hua Wuming felt that one day I would be able to freely manipulate multiple solidified airs, and it all depended on practice.
While Hua Wuming sat on the stone steps in front of the church and continued to practice magic, the children who had participated in the Knights' briefing walked out.
They were all full of hope and their eyes were shining.
Horacio also shook hands with a boy he met at the briefing and vowed goodbye.
Because Hua Wuming was not good at group action in his previous life, he did not have a strong yearning for the Knights, but he was still a little envious.
"Horacio, this way, this way!"
"I've been waiting for you for a long time. Where are Miguel and Enis? "
"They're back to the dorm first."
"yes, let's go back then."
"Until then, let's go for a walk."
"Huh? Have you ever been here? "
"I haven't been here, but I've just inquired, so it's no problem. After all, it's a rare festival, let's check it out. "
"But I didn't have any money, yes. But the money can't be used."
Children who are drafted by the Order will get some equipment gold and the like.
Otherwise, some children from poor families will not even be able to make up the fare to reach the royal capital.
"Don't worry, leave it to me!"
"Do you have any money?"
"No, I'll have it soon."
"Huh? You're going to create money."
"Don't worry so much, let's go!"
"Wait, wait!"
Side by side, Hua Wuming pulled Horacio, who was much larger than a child, and walked towards the shop guided by the nun.
The target store is a restaurant not far from the church.
Because it is a festival, there are tables in front of the store and food is sold.
When the guests had a little free time, I greeted the vendor's sister.
"Hello, we are people who came from a mountain village to participate in the awakening ceremony. Introduced by the nuns of the Church, can we sell you Pronet mushrooms here? "
"Eh, Pronet mushroom, is that the Pronet mushroom?"
"Yes, it was collected from our village"
"Wait a minute, boss, can you come for a moment?"
The vendor's sister walked into the store and called the owner, and Horacio was also talking to Hua Wuming excitedly.
"Miu, where did you find the Pronet mushroom?"
"Of course, it's a secret."
"However, if you sell it privately, the village chief will be angry, right?"
"If it's discovered, it will. But as long as Horacio keeps it secret, it shouldn't be discovered. "
"Amount"
The Prone mushroom is a white round mushroom with a diameter of about 15 centimeters that grows in mountain forests, and is more prized in this country than matsutake mushrooms.
The nuns of the Church introduced them to a shop where they could buy Proné mushrooms.
"Is that you, the kid who wants to sell Pronet mushrooms?"
"Yes, we came from a mountain village to participate in the Awakening Ritual."
"So, can you show me the cargo?"
"Okay, this is"
From the bag on his shoulder, Hua Wuming took out a woven bamboo basket and opened the lid to show the Prone mushrooms. The store manager is a werewolf with a mustache, and when he sees a mushroom, he lets out a small exclamation.
"It's a beautiful Pronet mushroom, and there are two more."
"What do you think? Can it be acquired? "
"Okay, how about two Prone mushrooms and four large silver coins?"
"Four big silver coins, that, three big silver coins, can I pay for the rest with silver coins?"
"Ah, no problem. Wait a moment. "
When the werewolf manager entered the store to prepare the money, Horacio patted Hua Wuming on the shoulder.
"Four, four big silver coins."
"It hurts, it hurts, Horacio"
"Yes, I'm sorry. However, the big silver coin"
"That's because the village chief took most of the profits."
Sell the Purone mushroom to the village, and the price will drop to about 1/10.
It is not possible to pick near Ibro, and there is also a cost to transport it from a mountain village.
Although it was expected to be more expensive than the village, I did not expect it to rise to ten times the price.
Moreover, selling directly to restaurants instead of vegetable stalls is also the right choice.
The three large silver coins and five silver coins received from the store manager, Hua Wuming wrapped them in cloth and put them in his bag to avoid making a crashing sound.
Since I had seen the prices of the stalls on the way to the store, five silver coins should be enough to enjoy it.
"Thank you very much!"
"Where, it's a great help to get good material here. Next time you pick something good, remember to bring it. I am always willing to buy for the same price. "
"Okay, please take care of me if you have the chance. Alright, Horacio, let's go! "
"Ahh
You've got rare magic and plenty of money, so let's enjoy the festival in another world now!
