The King in Cats, acting to find a suitable partner for a dear friend.
The first trial it is about to face is standing on the edge of the border, a special border garrison corps set up for the sake of national security.
The female soldiers here are selected from the regular knight's order, choosing only the best of the best, the heroines among women.
The military falcons soaring in the sky are artificially tamed magical creatures that can clearly see every move below, even in the dead of night.
The magical barriers imposed on the border can successfully intercept any unauthorized individuals carrying weapons, leaving no room for escape.
Various considerations form an impenetrable defense line where no one can escape from, no...
However, none of these pose any obstacles to a cat!
Assuming it is a magical creature, a falcon flying in the sky, it would definitely notice this cat;
But this cat is nothing special, just a slightly larger orange cat. The falcons aren't overfed tonight, they have no reason to pay attention to it.
The targets of the magical barriers are all individuals carrying metal objects. Although a cat's claws are sharp, they are by no means deemed as steel.
Finally, the soldiers stationed here, they haven't ignored the orange cat, and all of them noticed it in an instant.
----『Yaya, ayaya!』
Excitedly, they rushed forward, and the cat was immediately surrounded by a wave, all those waves were soft.
『Meow, meow (Patience, everything is for finding a nekomimi loli, I must be patient)』
Because people cannot understand the language of cats, they always misinterpret its meaning and believe that when a cat is being petted, it is filled with joy.
In reality, at that moment, the only thing these creatures are thinking is:
『Meow, meow, meow (Don't touch my fur! Finding a pond in the wild to wash my fur, do you think it's easy?)』
At this moment, the cat only cares about whether its body will get dirty.
Cleanliness is of utmost importance to cats;
But even though the orange cat expected its current situation, it still chose not to speed up and cross the border.
The reason it can do this is solely related to the value of this place. It believes that staying here temporarily has meaning, so it stayed.
The main reason is the route.
As a cat with intelligence far superior to its peers, it knows that if it doesn't find a map and relies only on a rough sense of direction to reach its destination, it will inevitably take many detours along the way.
And in the time it takes for it to detour, if the nekomimi loli has relocated, it will be even more difficult to find her later.
Therefore, the orange cat wants to see the map;
On the way here, it had already investigated through the cat clan's intelligence network and found out that there is a clear and complete map stored in the human military camp.
With a swift flick of its eyes, its gaze locked onto a specific location. With its instinct surpassing humans, it was certain that that was where the map was stored.
As it was being touched and its fur was being ruffled by hundreds of female soldiers, the orange cat subconsciously judged that the timing was right.
So, the orange cat leaped onto the ground, slipped through the women, and wagged its tail towards its intended destination.
Just as it was about to reach its destination, a woman who appeared different from the ordinary soldiers in terms of her equipment, blocked the path of the orange cat.
『This is not a place for little cats to come. Come here, come to big sister's embrace.』
The woman extended her arms and enveloped the adorable cat in her embrace, and the orange cat was just one step away from success.
"Meow meow meow (annoying, is this human woman the type with a serious personality?)"
The more serious the person's personality, the more principles they tend to have. Even though it's just a cat they're facing, they must adhere to all the rules.
If a solution isn't found quickly to improve the current situation, the orange cat is afraid it will ultimately fail.
It's willing to go all out later on, using tactics it detests, just to achieve its goal.
"Meow meow, meow meow meow!"
That tactic is acting cute and lovable.
The orange cat raises a paw, then pulls it back into a fluffy ball, and extends it towards the woman's cheek;
Being petted by the cat, and having its head rubbed affectionately, the cat's face is rubbing against the person's face, producing a pleasant "purring" sound.
How undignified for a cat, yet how effective it is!
