An Unknown Fate

Chapter 27: Cat Demon

[You heard the commotion outside the tent, and your heart was full of worry, and immediately left the tent with your  sister Artoria and Merlin to check the situation outside. 】

[Fortunately, you learned from the mouths of the people around you that although your  brother Kai was injured, all of them were only skin injuries, and there was no danger to life. 】

[The only inconvenience is that when your brother Kai talks to you, his voice is a little slurred, and it seems that his cheeks are swollen. And you also know from his mouth what is going on with the "cat demon" in the mouth of the soldier who came to deliver the message earlier. 】

[According to your brother Kai, he was originally following Artoria's instructions to lead a small group of soldiers to scout the route ahead, but he did not expect that there was actually a monster's lair on the route they had planned in advance. 】

[In order to avoid the monsters in this lair slowing down the marching speed of subsequent armies, and even causing them to temporarily change their route, your righteous brother Kai decided to clean up this lair by himself first.] 】

[But what he didn't expect was that what was entrenched in the nest was not some huge and ugly monster, but a three-eyed cat demon that seemed to be able to change its form at any time and was covered in snow-white hair. ] 】

[Your  brother Kai did not underestimate the enemy, but he did not expect that the cat demon would knock him out with just one blow.] Even after that, as if curious about him, fiddling with him on the ground like a hairball, which caused your brother Kai to return covered in skin trauma. 】

[After listening to your brother Kai's explanation, although this is a very serious matter, Merlin couldn't help but laugh, and was kicked by your righteous brother.] And you were slightly relieved to hear that your brother was still so energetic. 】

[After all, you understand from his description that that strange three-eyed cat demon should have the ability to directly leave your brother, but for some reason he still let him back, which made you both happy and confused in your heart. ] 】

[But Kai's luck is one thing, reality is another.] 】

[If you want to fight a beautiful victory in the fastest time as planned as originally planned, your army must advance according to the original route.] 】

[In order not to delay the speed of the march, but also considering that if the "three-eyed cat demon" is left alone, there may be some problems.] 】

[After a brief discussion, you decide to go with Merlin to the lair of the monster that your righteous brother Kai mentioned. 】

[Your sister Artoria originally planned to go directly by herself, but under the persuasion of Merlin's "more important in the rear", she finally agreed to your request. 】

[So, you and Merlin left the barracks together and went to the so-called monster's lair. 】

　　...... 

"Merlin, do you know what Kai said about 'cat demon'?" 

Walking in the dimly lit forest, Rin Aozaki asked as he listened vigilantly.

"Hmm... I probably have a clue, but it stands to reason that that thing shouldn't be here. But if it's still a 'childhood', it's understandable. "

Merlin touched his chin in thought and replied like he was talking to himself. 

Although by relying on his eyes, he could peek into the situation on the other side of the monster's lair. 

But if the truth is really the same as he guessed, I am afraid that it will be discovered by the other side at the moment of peeping, and then cause some misunderstanding.
