Nekoboro was fast. Too fast. He didn’t know if it was his inherent trait of a cat, but if he really wanted to, he did could leave Kyouka behind.
Even if she had the power of a cat in her body, ultimately it was still human’s. Catching up with the cat took her entire breath.
“Sir…please, I beg you…no runni…AAH!?!”
Kyouka froze. The scenery in front of her eyes begs for explanation.
On her left was Nekoboro holding a big tuna fish on its left hand (front leg??).
On her right was the “giant”, with the red-haired girl tucked behind him in a protective manner.
Nekoboro’s stance was that of a battle, ready to attack on the slightest notice. His adversary, however, was more surprised than alert.
Actually, Kyouka never understood about the fish either. As if there would ever be someone who would take that seriously…
“Myuuuu? A trole? What is that, meow?” the cat tilted his head. There are dwarves, elves, little goblins, but it was the first time for him to hear that name. “I am a cat, meow. I don’t care if you’re a bread roll or a scroll, I’m going to have you release that girl you’ve kidnapped, meow!”
The scene grew too absurd for Kyouka. What’s this have to do with bread roll?
With a short leap, Nekoboro had closed the distance between him and the trole…prole…whatever. Before he could react, the cat was already hovering on the ground right below him, the fish swung in a wide arc toward his cheek.
Unable to watch the cat attacking the “giant” with only a fish, she closed her eyes.
The attack connected with a loud snap. It did…nothing, really. Rather than the “giant” feeling pain from it, the fish looked more in pain itself. It went limp on Nekoboro’s hand.
…
“MEOOOOW?!? Kyoukaaaaaa…”
Running away so fast dust trails covered the air, Nekoboro hid himself behind Kyouka, peeking out with teary eyes and cute expression.
I knew it, Kyouka thought. Humans could be hurt with that, but a “giant”? What’s the deal with the fish anyway?
Aah…no good, the “giant” should be focused on her now.
“Um…Mister giant, will you please release the girl…?”
“Why are you pleading, Kyouka? Kick his ass, meow! Oh and he’s a trole, not a giant, or so he said meow.”
I can’t. Also, what the hell is a trole?
Actually now that she saw it up close, the “trole” looked bigger than before. Too big for her standard. Her body screamed to run away, but she was frozen with fear.
