Chapter 25 The Water God pets a cat, making his homeland feel like...
To catch birds, you should definitely go to Mo Mang Palace.
Although Fontaine is full of birds, only the gulls there smell like fries.
Speaking of which...
As the cat's paws lightly touched the cool autumn grass, a serious face of Navelette suddenly flashed through its mind.
"The golden seagulls at Mo Mang Palace are protected by law; you must stop..."
“.
Why can't I eat it?
Maine silently disappeared into the bushes.
I'm just going to eat it, humans are so nosy... What the hell!?
The once plain and unadorned grassland is now dotted with strange things.
The cat peeked out and sniffed—a long, rectangular iron cage, its opening open, exuding a cold, metallic smell, and...
fragrance?
It couldn't help but lick its lips. The cat, smelling the aroma, jumped to the animal trap.
can?
Mainkuhn observed carefully.
It's not just ordinary canned food.
Prescription Cat Food - Post-Surgery Special Edition
"......hiss."
It's you, Navelette!
Why are you so persistent in catching me?! Just for a few birds?
Mainkuen felt he had every right to be angry, after all, this human named Navelette had been trying to deprive the cat of its hard-won freedom.
but......
So thoughtful and meticulous.
The cat drooped its ears helplessly as it looked at the special canned food in the cage.
What a good person.
......
Maybe we should just go along with him and not eat the bird today.
After breaking the mechanism at the cage door with his teeth, Mainkuen reached out and fished out the can, tentatively sticking out his thin tongue.
Is this thing even edible...?
"!"
Mainkun's vertical pupils constricted after the first bite.
It smells so good!
The smooth minced meat, with a slight lick, evenly covers all the barbs on the tongue. The ratio of offal to fat is perfect, and the aroma goes straight to the top of your head. Moreover, there are not too many spices and salt!
This is the first time in Mainkun's life that he has eaten food that perfectly suits his taste!
"I'm glad you like it."
I love it, I love it so much!
The cat buried its head and ate voraciously.
"But don't eat too much, your stomach wound probably hasn't fully healed yet."
...?
The cat silently turned its head.
The white-haired gentleman was half-squatting on the grass beside him, propping his head up as he looked at him.
"Indeed, the moment when a creature has eliminated danger and begins to enjoy its spoils is the most relaxing moment."
"!!" When did Navelette arrive?!
Mainkun was truly fed up with this man who was as silent and unassuming as water!
"Good afternoon, Your Excellency Cat God."
He scooped up the cat that was trying to escape, and then Violet bent down to examine the completely destroyed mechanism:
"Your intelligence, while not as high as a human's, is certainly not that of a cat."
"As the Supreme Judge, it is my duty to discipline and instruct you."
*
"Seagull".
On a bench in the Palace of Momeng, Navelette, with a serious expression, pressed Maine onto her lap, crossed her hands in front of the cat, making a gesture as if a bird were flying.
"eat."
Navelette solemnly stuffed the 'seagull' into the cat's mouth, while Mainkuen, with his glove in his mouth, stared blankly at him.
"Can't."
Navelette withdrew her hand and gave the cat a punitive tap on the head.
"......???"
"Didn't you understand?"
Navigette frowned in distress, like a teacher worried about a dull student:
"Gull, eat, no. It's a very simple sentence. With your intelligence, you should be able to understand it within three tries. Why are you still looking blank?"
No, no, no, I'm not confused about that!
"Mimi—"
Mainkun slapped his chest with a paw and looked at him with an o_o expression:
This man is almost thirty, why is he using the same explanation method as that little girl, Claurind?! It might be cute on her, but it looks weird on you—
"Sigh, I'll repeat myself one more time, seagull..."
The Water Dragon King's fingers once again mimicked the flight of birds.
"N-Naviette!"
Suddenly, a terrified girl's voice rang out from beside them.
"Have you finally exhausted yourself to the point of having problems?"
Fu Ningna looked at the childlike scene before her with a silly grin:
The most serious and earnest judge in Fontaine, with a helpless expression, made a cute bird shape with his fingers and flapped his 'wings' like a kindergarten teacher, teasing the little...big cat on his lap.
The large, silver-gray cat, in response, emitted sweet meows, its paws gently resting on the other's chest... What a heartwarming scene of motherly love and filial piety!
"Who are you? You are not Navisette!"
OOC! Absolutely OOC! My Dragon King can't possibly be this cute.
"Or are you so stressed that you need to pet a cat to relieve it? Waaaaah, Fontaine's future looks bleak—"
"?"
Navelette looked at Funina blankly, then politely considered her response for a moment:
"Your emotions seem out of sync with the current situation. Should I remain silent and wait for your rationality to return?"
"!"
In her mind, Funina translated it into plain language:
Stop going crazy and shut up.
"......"
"Great, it's the familiar Navelette!"
The girl cried tears of joy.
*
"Hehehe—Little kitty, are you the Cat God?"
Mainkuhn was completely bewildered as the white-haired girl pinched and stroked him.
Although this girl is smiling, she carries a heavy sense of negative emotions.
"How dare you! You dare call yourself a god? Do you know who I am?!"
Funina gripped the cat's head with both hands and rubbed it, laughing arrogantly:
"Hahahaha! I—Furina de Fontaine—am the master of this country, the absolute goddess of justice!"
The loud noise made the cat's brain spin, and Mainkuhn managed to extract the key information from it with great difficulty.
A deity? I've heard that the deity of Fontainebleau is indeed an extravagant goddess...
"What, are you scared now? You presumptuous cat!"
Funina stretched out her right hand, her heterochromatic eyes looking down proudly at the big cat:
"Bolt yourself before me and beg for forgiveness—I will bestow upon you unparalleled glory and allow you to kiss my fingertips!"
The cat stretched its neck and sniffed the glove.
"Very good, very good! To admit your mistakes and correct them is the mark of a good subject of mine!"
A sense of anxiety permeates the human experience.
It's not as credible as Navelette's claim that he was the Supreme Judge.
The cat stretched and lazily lay back down on the Water Dragon King's lap.
"Rude! Rude!"
The girl screamed in anger and furiously pinched the cat's head with both hands:
"I'm going to send you to the Opiclie Opera House for trial!"
"...There is no precedent for judging a cat in Fontainebleau."
Navigette began to think:
"Although he judged the inhuman Melusin, wasn't the judgment a bit too much for him?"
"Oh dear! Violet, it's a joke!"
Funina pouted and lightly tugged at the cat's ear as if in venting her anger—Naviette was extremely grateful that the cat on her lap had a very good temper.
"But it absolutely must be renamed! What country has two gods?!"
Humans are so annoying.
He named it himself and then took it back himself.
The cat yawned and let her be.
"god?"
Before he could even close his mouth, a child, rubbing his eyes, emerged from the bushes at the sound.
"Lord Water God? Are you the Lord Water God?"
The child's eyes, face, and ears were all red; it was clear he had just had a good cry. Upon seeing this, Funina quickly raised her voice to comfort him:
"It is I—my young people..."
Before she could even ask the child what difficulties he was facing, the child burst into tears as soon as he heard her acknowledge his identity.
"My Lord God! Please help me!"
The child, clutching a small shoe, desperately tried to hand it to Funina.
"My sister is missing, and this is all that's left! Please help me!"
"......"
"!!??"
Furnessa's face stiffened, her gaze flickering towards Navelette.
"Well, next, Vilette, you...you know what you should do next, right?"
Please, come and help me out of this predicament!
I... I don't know how to find someone!
"Hmm...we should notify the security detail."
Navelette followed procedure, dropped Maine off, and left quickly.
"Take care of the child first, I'll bring people over right away."
Each profession has its own expertise, and even the Supreme Court had no experience in finding missing children.
"Hey! Wait a minute—"
Furnessa, facing this situation alone, was somewhat at a loss.
"Ah...yes, in this situation we definitely need to notify the guards to conduct a search! Haha, haha...don't worry, kid!"
She clenched her fingers tightly, bit her tongue, and once again displayed a calm and composed expression on her face:
"The guards are all very capable; your sister will be found safely soon..."
"No! Waaah!"
The child screamed, his cries interrupting Funina's attempts to comfort him.
"Isn't my sister a god? Aren't gods omnipotent? Do gods need a guard team?"
"Please, Your Majesty! My sister, what if she's being bullied right now? Please send down a divine decree and tell me where she is!"
"I...I..."
Furina wished she could bring Navelela back so she could go and call the guards herself.
"Do you want a reward? I can give you all my snacks as an offering, waaaaah!"
"Wait, that's not the reason..."
"Don't worry, child!"
The area around Momang Palace was not a deserted place, and soon some people from Fontainebleau heard the crying and kindly tried to comfort her:
"Lady Furina is the greatest and most loving deity. She will surely bring your sister back unharmed! Right, Lady Furina?"
"......"
"Is that right, Lady Funina?"
More and more people are coming.
Humans just love to ask questions they already know the answer to.
A dismissive smile, unchanged for a century, suddenly appeared on the girl's face.
His unusual heterochromatic eyes gleamed with a cold light in the sunlight.
"In the past few centuries, when have I ever disappointed you?"
*
Whether the gods are omnipotent or not, Funina did not know.
However, since she is impersonating a deity, she must be omnipotent.
'What should I do! What should I do!?'
Funina gracefully picked up the little shoe with her handkerchief, a confident smile on her face.
"First of all, I can't take on the task of finding my sister all by myself, because I simply can't find her! I'll feel guilty for the rest of my life if something happens to my child!"
The shoe was examined over and over in her hands, but Funina found no clues.
'But they must also demonstrate miracles; they cannot remain silent until the end! Silence and incompetence are not synonymous with divinity!'
“.
To be honest, Mainkuhn doesn't quite understand the current situation.
A group of humans are surrounding another human, chanting, "The great god can definitely do it!"... How strange, are they acting? Role-playing?
But why did this little girl named Funina suddenly smell so terrifying, even causing my demonic power to increase?
Forgot your lines? Are you alright?
And this child, crying so loudly it's terrifying.
"Little sister! Little sister! Waaaaah—"
Mainkuhn couldn't stand the sound of children crying.
Human children are weak and small, and often die while crying.
"Waaaaah, little sister—"
So annoying!
The big cat suddenly stood up, grabbed Funina's hand with its two paws, and sniffed it.
Even if it's acting, please hurry up and move on to the next scene!
*
Fulina had heard that cats also have a very keen sense of smell.
However, their personalities are uncontrollable and their intelligence is not high, so humans chose dogs to be used as search and capture dogs.
"......"
So what's in front of me should be a cat, not a dog that looks like a cat!
As the cat sniffed the little shoes, began to bare its teeth, paw at the ground, and struggled to slowly move towards a certain place, then turned back to signal them to follow, Funina's mind went blank.
Has fate finally smiled upon me?
"Lady Furina, what is this...?"
"Ah, everything is under control."
Without even hearing what her subjects said, Funina had already answered instinctively.
"Lady Funina instructed the Cat God to search for the child?"
The people of Fontainebleau's eyes lit up, and as usual, they began to interpret the fragmentary oracle:
"As expected of Lady Furina! She can actually command unruly felines!"
"But isn't it a bit disregard for the safety of children to only send one cat to search?"
As in the past, some people have raised questions.
"Ah? Ignorant human! Your narrow-mindedness is comparable to the deepest trench in the ocean!"
As always, Funina held her head high with arrogance:
"The gods have their own intentions. How can you judge a show's quality after only watching the beginning? That's presumptuous! You should be ashamed."
"I'm sorry, Lady Funina..."
"Alright, come on."
The girl walked with composure, her cane touching the ground, gracefully following behind the cat.
"Let me show you the wisdom of the gods!"
Despite saying that, Funina had no confidence at all.
The cane was slippery from the cold sweat, and the cat's silhouette blurred in my eyes.
Please, Cat God!
Aside from prayer, the gods had no other recourse.
I've already made my bold claim: I absolutely must find that child's sister!
Otherwise, otherwise, I'll have to rack my brains to come up with more excuses and tell more lies!
I don't like lying!
The cat didn't do as I wished.
The silver-gray, tiger-striped beast led them further and further astray, until they reached a dark cage in the bushes, where a dark shadow was moving about.
Everyone stared intently, and were completely dumbfounded.
"Lady Funina!"
The girl's legs went weak.
"That's clearly a dog!"
"Woof! Woof!"
The dog smelled the cat and barked excitedly, leaping around in the trap.
"......"
Furness watched in despair as the cat stopped in front of the cage and remained motionless.
As expected, this is the result.
...It's my fault. This happened so suddenly, I panicked and couldn't come up with a good excuse...
Fulina was also surprised that, in the moment her expectations were dashed, she felt a sense of relief in addition to fear.
What should I say next to salvage the situation? Should I say, "Poor thing? Can't you see the divine's intention?" or "This dog can help us reach the truth?"
You can't exactly say, "Your sister turned into a dog," hahaha...
The security detail should be arriving soon, so I'll just make do and get by. So what if it's embarrassing...
"younger sister!"
The child exclaimed with delight.
"???"
Funina shuddered, her ahoge standing straight up.
Everyone looked at the child in disbelief.
"Your sister... is a dog?"
"Woof woof woof!"
"What is a dog? A sister is a sister!"
The child excitedly clung to the cage, trying his best to pry it open.
"Wow, this is so hard to open! Why are there cans of food inside the cage?"
"......"
Blood flows back to the heart.
Funina felt like she was alive again.
"So that child's sister is a dog. No wonder Lady Funina sent a cat to catch her, hahaha..."
The initial skepticism turned into complete admiration.
"Sending cats to catch dogs, how dramatic!"
"As expected of Lady Funina!"
The conviction has become even stronger:
"They even managed to predict something this absurd!"
"......"
Hahahaha! What's the big deal?!
Funina laughed and bent down to stroke the cat's silver-gray fur.
"I am a god!"
Anxiety, depression, loneliness.
She masturbated harder and faster with each stroke.
"......"
Okay, okay, go ahead and touch it.
Mainkun lay down helplessly, letting the girl, who was covered in bitterness, do as she pleased.
Who made cat fur a balm for human relaxation?
