Chapter 18 Territory
◎Leaf shadows scatter in all directions, and a white kitten treads clatteringly on the cobblestone road.◎
Crash—crash.
The shadows of leaves fell in all directions, and a white kitten walked on the stone road with a clattering sound.
The moon was high in the sky, and the whole world was plunged into dead silence.
There were a few bugs in the dirt, but no birds in the trees, and no people on the streets. Melia walked through the castle ruins in an hour, and there was no creature larger than herself.
"Meow~ Is anyone there?" She walked cautiously along the gravel road. This looked like the inner city of Rome, with a few relatively intact stone houses.
But there are more ruins and foundations, just like the beginning of a construction game.
The sound of the wind was left behind, and the kitten ran faster and faster, and finally, she saw the border.
Melia stood on the broken stone pillar at the city gate, and outside the city was filled with dark purple mist.
She dipped her paw into the mist, and even the sense of her paw disappeared. Although the feeling returned when she pulled it out, even just looking at it gave her a creepy feeling.
[If I were to run into the fog, I'd definitely disappear completely.]
I don't know why, but I have this thought.
Gulp, she heard the sound of herself swallowing. Could it be that the whole world had collapsed, leaving only a small piece of Rome beneath her feet?
jingle--
A crisp sound of vibrations rang in her mind, and Melia couldn't help but look at the floating "Rose Princess" - there was actually an extra gold coin on the cover.
The gold coin with the image of a dragon and a snake biting its tail was embedded in the cover of Rose Princess, and it slowly turned with the book.
"Tsk, let me go back——"
She angrily tried to grasp the image in her mind, but to her surprise, an identical gold coin actually appeared in her hand.
Ding-ling~
The gold coin was flicked by the fingers, and turned over together with the gold coin in the mind, from the front to the back.
The silent collapse began again, the ruins disappeared quickly, and a few seconds later, the kitten was standing on the stone pillar in the garden again.
Not far away were the lights of the castle, and I could hear the guards chatting.
Melia jumped onto the grass and slowly squatted down. She tucked her four paws under her belly and thought carefully. After a moment, she stood up and bit the rose in the bush.
"gold!"
With a meow, the gold coin reappeared, this time suspended in mid-air, flipping from its back to its front.
As expected, the Rome of the ruins replaced the Rome of the palaces. But...
"Hahahaha, you can bring things in—"
The little white cat laughed wildly, and the roses fell to the ground with a clatter. She jumped into the ruins and picked around, this time choosing a special stone that looked like an unpolished gem.
The gold coin flipped again, and the kitten in Palace Rome laughed wildly: "Meow ha ha ha ha, you can even take stones out~"
What does this mean? It means she has a super convenient portable space!
This space can be used to store various items at will, and maybe even farm in it~ Huh meow, I was thinking about where to build a mill, isn't this it?
The only drawback is its size, which is about the same size as the city of Rome, and it is impossible to enter the surrounding fog.
It would be great if there was a way to dispel the fog. There are lakes and mountains around, and mining is possible.
The cat shook its head and calmed down its excitement.
A bad idea suddenly popped into her head: Aren't there always plots about supernatural tricks in novels? Now that she was familiar with the subsequent plot of "Rose Princess", and there were such buggy skills as portable space and death return, she could just pretend to be a supernatural charlatan.
If he could convince Elena that he was a divine messenger, things would be much easier. With the heroine and the script in hand, wouldn't he be able to dominate the whole of Rome?
Besides, Elena doesn’t lose out either, as she can get the spoilers.
Its whiskers twitched excitedly, and the cat scurried back along the path.
Puff! She triumphantly jumped onto the pillow and stepped on Elena's face with one claw.
"Tsk, little goblin!"
"What little goblin? It's Meimei!"
Elena turned over and wrapped the kitten in a blanket, curling her into a ball. "Why are you sleeping back home again?"
"Hehehe~Hehe~"
Although it was a kitten, a smug smile appeared on its face, and its two pink lips curled up in surprise: "I remember now, I am actually a messenger of God——"
“…”
Elena held her forehead with her hand, turned over and walked to the cabinet.
"Hey, don't disbelieve me, I really am a messenger from God!"
Two little claws hooked onto her robe, one on the left and one on the right, leaving two white scratches on the linen robe.
"Really? Whose?"
"It's Athena! Call Mi-Mi...Artenes?"
"Fool, it's Minerva!"
With a plop, the kitten fell to the ground in shock.
A small dried fish was stuffed into her mouth, stretching the W into an A.
"Next time, read more before you lie to others." Elena didn't sigh, but the way she smiled and touched the cat's head looked like a tired old mother.
Melia chewed and chewed, then swallowed with a gulp: "Ah, I wasn't lying to you, I really am a messenger of God, if you don't believe me, I can tell your fortune."
"Yeah, okay."
The little white cat looked around, then stepped mysteriously onto her knees, its whiskers twitching. "I see the halo behind you. You will become... the Queen of Rome!"
In the darkness, only the cat's eyes emitted an emerald light.
Elena was silent for a moment, then gently stroked her head with her hand: "I know, thank you."
What do you mean by I know? Just give me some reaction!
Melia raised her head and wanted to show her the gold coins and portable space, but her mouth was blocked by a series of dried fish.
The salty and fragrant taste filled his mouth, and looking at Elena's gentle expression, his desire to show off slowly cooled down.
Never mind, the plan to deceive people has failed anyway.
Elena's future is bound to be bright, and she... doesn't need to steal other people's glory.
The kitten's expression gradually softened, and it bit down the mouthful of dried fish with force.
"Ahhh, ahhhhhhhhh——"
"Tsk, what's going on? Turn your head over here... How could a cat demon get its tongue pierced by a fish bone?!"
“Ahhhhhhhh——”
"Wait a minute, I'll get you some ointment."
“Ooo ...
"...The medicine must be bitter. Don't spit it out. Swallow it! Hey, hey, don't bite me. I told you not to bite me—"
…
Melia opened her eyes in bed. The room was still shrouded in darkness beneath the heavy curtains.
It wasn't fully light yet.
She turned her head quietly and saw Ronnie still sleeping beside her.
The gladiator's sleeping posture is extremely stable, his hands are naturally folded, his chest rises and falls rhythmically, and even the sound of his breathing is reassuring.
She stared at it in a daze for a moment, then suddenly rolled back onto the pillow: My sleeping posture is so terrible, how come I'm lying sideways again!
"Hmm..." The gladiator opened his eyes and looked at her in a daze.
Melia was about to say hello when the other person closed his eyes again, his breathing still steady.
Is this considered alert or not?
Melia looked around and saw that behind the curtains were definitely servants and guards keeping watch. They knew that the young mistress wasn't used to being watched while she slept, but they would still sneak in after she fell asleep.
She slowly reached under the pillow and found that the gold coin was gone.
But as long as he closed his eyes and sketched it briefly, a delicate coin would immediately appear in his hand. Rub it with his fingers, and even the pattern is exactly the same.
Snap, the coin flips.
This time the scene was different. The pillow and quilt rolled into the ruins with her.
Fortunately, there were dry gravel underneath, so it wasn't too dirty when I picked it up with my hands.
"The human body can enter, and the things held in the hand will be brought in automatically." Melia murmured to herself and nodded with satisfaction.
This way, whether it's day or night, awake or asleep, she can always connect with this place.
If you have the chance, try to bring someone else in. If you can... a bright future is just around the corner!
