After I died of old age, I was reincarnated into another world and became a cat

"Oh, here she is."

Lilith lifted LaLuna to her chest and shook her.

La Luna rolled her eyes and waved her little paws to greet the driver in front of her.

"Good morning, meow."

"Uh, morning... good morning."

The driver stared at the talking cat in amazement, even though he had received an order when he came here before, saying that he was to pick up a transformed magical beast.

But the original form is actually a cat? How cute!

Before the driver came, he was still thinking that it might not be a man-eating monster. Now, at first glance, it looks no different from the cat his wife raises, except that it can speak human language.

This created such a huge gap between psychology and reality that the driver's mysterious favorability towards La Luna increased.

"Now that you are here, please get in the car. His Majesty the Emperor is waiting for you in the imperial capital."

The driver quickly opened the door and placed a small stool in front of the door.

"Don't be so troublesome."

Lilith picked up LaLuna and stuffed her directly into the car.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't be so rough!"

La Luna felt like she was thrown in here. She turned around, changed into a human form, put on clothes, and waved in protest at Lilith outside the car.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry. I wish you a pleasant trip to the imperial capital."

Lilith reached in and touched Luna's head. Luna squinted her eyes, rubbed it habitually, and then reacted.

"Don't lift me by the scruff of the neck again!"

I'm super fierce!

"Okay, okay, let's go."

Lilith agreed in a very perfunctory manner, then turned around and said that the coachman could take Luna away here.

"You didn't hear it, did you? You definitely didn't hear it! Hey, you bastard!"

The carriage gradually started moving. La Luna leaned out of the window and saw Lilith waving at her.

"Hmph, forget it. I'll bother you again when I come back."

Lilith sat back angrily, while the driver kept smiling after seeing La Luna.

The naughty kitten’s personality after turning into a human is just like that of his own daughter, and she looks so cute.

The driver glanced quietly at La Luna's ears and the tail behind her.

"Hey, look at the road carefully, don't look around!"

"Sorry, I'm sorry."

The driver withdrew his hidden gaze, but in his heart he couldn't help but admire the other party's strong observation skills.

The path before reaching the shrine was extremely bumpy for LaLuna. LaLuna, who was used to lying flat on her back, felt a little uncomfortable and nauseous sitting in the car. After LaLuna turned back into a cat, this feeling was obviously alleviated a lot.

So La Luna found a comfortable angle for herself, curled up and continued to sleep.

It will take some time for vehicles to run from the north to the center of the imperial capital. Since I'm just sitting there doing nothing anyway, I might as well get some more sleep.

After La Luna closed her eyes, she couldn't fall asleep because the car was shaking all the time. Finally, after a while, the whole car body shook and La Luna suddenly felt that the car was running smoothly.

Going to Shinto?

Feeling the unique willpower of Shinto, La Luna fell asleep more peacefully.

The driver was a very good driver. The fact that there were no particularly big bumps on the small road was enough to tell that he was an experienced driver. After getting on the Shinto Road, La Luna didn't even feel that she was in a moving vehicle.

What's more, the sofa was very soft and comfortable, and quite spacious for La Luna's current body size. La Luna fell into a sleep state almost immediately.

"Shut up!"

As the car body shook slightly, La Luna gradually woke up.

At this time, it had already darkened outside, and a strange light gradually emanated from the shrine road.

The coachman was pulling the carriage towards the camping site on the side of the shrine.

This type of camping site is developed around the shrine road and is specifically designed to provide a resting place for drivers.

Although it is called a resting place, it is actually just a piece of open space without any infrastructure, and there is no one guarding it. It might be better to say that this is a resting place opened by the coachmen themselves.

The driver cleaned up the fire in the center of the place, then looked around and found that there was still a lot of firewood left in some corners, which was obviously what the previous group of people had left.

Any excess materials would be piled up directly at the rest area without being taken away, to make it convenient for the next caravan to come and rest. This has almost become a tacit understanding among all the drivers.

If it's not urgent, we can even help with some additional materials.

But unfortunately, the driver came alone this time. It was impossible for him to abandon the passengers he was carrying and go look for firewood, right?

What's more, the other party was invited to the imperial capital by the emperor's special request.

Although her personality and appearance seem very cute, who knows what would happen if she said something bad about herself...

"You want to rest, meow?"

Seeing the coachman stop here, La Luna naturally got off the coach, but she did not turn into a human. Being alone with such a man, she felt safer in the body of a cat.

It’s not that the other person would hurt me or anything, but the thought of a man twisting my body in my mind is unbearable.

Alas……

In fact, La Luna was overthinking this.

As the royal coachman, the uncle was not so obsessed with sex that he would let his lust get the better of him. It was just that La Luna had been in the academy for a long time, and had come into contact with young nobles and children of the common people. She was usually inevitably stared at in that way, and over time, La Luna became particularly wary of that kind of stare.

"Lord Laluna, driving while tired at night is very dangerous. Please forgive me."

The driver bowed to La Luna. La Luna naturally didn't say anything. In her previous life, she had seen many cases of fatigue driving, car rollovers, and deaths.

"Okay, then you rest here for a while, I'll go take a look around."

After saying that, La Luna turned and left.

Maybe because we are in the north, we can't see any raised ground or vegetation along the way. It's just an endless plain and withered yellow grass.

What a boring place.

La Luna thought so, without noticing that she was getting farther and farther away from the sacred path behind her.

叭

Suddenly, she felt as if she had crushed something under her feet. La Luna raised her little paw and threw two fireballs. She looked around and saw a piece of withered yellow unknown substance protruding from the ground, and then broke into the footprints of a cat's paw.

"?"

La Luna directly manipulated the magic to dig out the small slope of soil from the ground, and the withered yellow unknown substance gradually revealed its true form.

"Bones? They look like human wrist bones."

La Luna looked at the bone floating in front of her, then looked at the ground beneath her feet in confusion.

From

Without saying a word, she dug up a huge sphere from the ground, then floated it in the air and dropped the excess soil bit by bit.

After a while, a complete human skeleton appeared in the air.

Kill people and dump their bodies?

La Luna looked back and saw that this location was quite a distance away from the Shinto.

It seems that this must be a murder and corpse dumping case that happened on the Shinto Road before. However, the body has turned into dry bones, so it must have been quite some time. It is better to throw it back. There is not much point in finding it now.

La Luna had just put the skeleton down, and then the skeleton's head tilted, the lower jaw slowly opened, and a ring inlaid with a blue gem fell out and rolled to La Luna's feet.

"..."

La Luna kicked the ring back as if she didn't see it, then manipulated the surrounding soil to cover the hole again.

"Hey! Do you know how precious this magic gem is? It's a gem that can nurture souls, and you just kicked it away like that?!"

Just as Luna was about to fill the pit of bones with soil, the blue ring shook, then emitted a faint blue light, and a phantom of a soul floated out.

La Luna stared at the phantom for a long time, then projected a small part of the tower in the sea of ​​spirit onto her hand.

A tremendous mental pressure instantly spread out to the surrounding area of ​​dozens of meters with Luna as the center.

"Boss, I was wrong!!"

The soul instantly shrank back into the ring under this burst of mental pressure. Fortunately, the other party was obviously just spreading the pressure around as a demonstration. If this kind of power was pressed on himself, wouldn't he be destroyed in an instant?

After pulling the tower in and putting it away, he manipulated the pile of earth to fill the place up again.

It’s not that La Luna doesn’t covet the ring, but the workmanship of the ring is simply hard to describe, and it violates La Luna’s design standards in every way.

And as for the soul inside… doesn’t this ring say that it can breed souls? Then let it grow slowly on its own. If I take it back myself, it might cause trouble again.

La Luna really hates trouble now.

Chapter 39: Accident

La Luna didn't care about the aggrieved sound coming from the ring buried in the pit, and turned back to the carriage decisively.

At this time, the driver had already cooked a pot of unknown food. It looked like instant food, probably some kind of dry food cooked together.

Although it smelled delicious, La Luna had basically no fondness for this kind of steaming food.

"Eat it yourself. I brought some dry food."

La Luna shook her tail and took out a fruit from the tower.

After the tower was taken into his sea of ​​consciousness, it seemed that all its functions were also taken in, and even the potion garden on that floor was retained without any changes.

Although I don’t know what the magic potion grown here is used for, it tastes delicious.

The driver took a short rest after the meal and then started driving the carriage again.

"Would you like to rest a little?"

"No need, I can still bear this level."

The driver shook his head and urged the horses harder.

Since the person himself said so, La Luna didn't bother to care. After all, with all her magic power, she would not die even if she got into a car accident.

Thinking of this, La Luna simply put her heart at ease and continued to sleep.

Speaking of Shinto, when was the last time you took a car on Shinto?

It seems that I should secretly take Lilith's car.

Thinking of this, La Luna sat up, then turned into a human form and stared out of the carriage window. Unlike the West, there was almost no vegetation outside, and naturally there were no small woods to provide cover for the termites, so the Northern Shinto Road was generally very safe.

Of course there are exceptions to everything.

La Luna suddenly felt several auras faintly emerging on the empty road ahead, and the madness and killing mixed in these auras were exactly the same as what she had felt in the magic book before.

"!!parking!"

If Luna was in cat form, the hair on her back would have stood up long ago.

"what?"

The driver was a little confused. Why did La Luna suddenly shout to stop?

"I told you to stop the car!"

After hearing La Luna's extremely stern rebuke, the driver subconsciously tightened the reins in his hands. The sudden deceleration caused La Luna's body to lean forward slightly, but it seemed that the degree of inclination was a little bit wrong?

How could a carriage traveling at high speed stop so quickly?

The driver was always a step slow to react. Before he pulled the reins, the horse's hooves had hit the trip rope hidden in the road, and the vehicle rolled to the ground.

After turning around several times, a group of people crawled out of the pits on both sides of the shrine, and then, holding blades, gradually walked towards the carriage.

"on!"

A man who looked like a leader waved his hand, and a group of people holding long blades wrapped in wisps of black mist slashed towards the carriage.

With the flash of swords and sabers, the carriage was instantly chopped to pieces. La Luna protected the driver and rolled to the side, then kicked the unconscious driver out of the shrine.
