"What and how?"

"It's what happened in the academy a few days ago."

"Oh, you mean the underwear theft incident!"

Arthur scratched his head, as if he didn't know how to explain it.

"You may not believe it, but it was really a black cat that did this..."

"That black cat was probably a stray cat. It was always elusive. The first time I met it, I thought it was hungry, so I shared some food with it. I didn't expect it to appear in front of me so often after that. I thought it wanted food, so I shared some with it every time. As a result, the black cat became closer and closer to me."

"Later, I discovered it was actually quite clever, able to understand everything I said. After that nobleman evaded me that day, I thought, since this black cat was so familiar with the academy and so clever, I decided to give it a try and ask it to help embarrass those people."

"I didn't expect it to actually do it! And use this method! I can't believe it! Speaking of which, that guy's life is probably over..."

"Oh, by the way, can you please keep this a secret for me? If it gets out, those nobles will definitely retaliate!"

Hulim nodded.

"I won't tell anyone, and even if I do, no one will believe it."

In contrast, Hulim was more interested in the black cat. She had never thought there was such a creature in the academy. She wanted to see it...

At the same time, in a remote forest in Manakos, a wooden house was quietly located.

“Meow~!”

A black cat with a body as black as ink and golden eyes jumped onto the open windowsill of the wooden house.

"Sphingle, where have you been again?"

A voice was heard from inside the house, and then Grisha, dressed in black, walked over.

“Meow~!”

The black cat cried out, and then its body turned into a black shadow and instantly jumped from the windowsill to Grisha's feet.

The shadows gathered, and the black cat reappeared.

“Meow~!”

The black cat rubbed against Grisha's feet affectionately.

Grisha shook his head helplessly, bent down and picked it up.

"... ...Don't do this again."

"Meow~."

The black cat seemed to understand and nodded.
