I, the little cat, am a substitute for others who are starving and thin

Ram kicked the door open, grabbed Natsuki Subaru by the collar and threw him out.

"I'm not ready yet!"

Where is the time to prepare him?

The frogs that were still jumping stopped for a moment and turned their eyes to Natsuki Subaru in the air.

"Isn't that enough? This distance should be beyond the detection range of 'Yimi Energy', right?"

Natsuki Subaru took a deep breath, "I can die and return..."

The witch's hand gently brushed past his heart, threatening to suffocate him. In an instant, the witch's scent on his body exploded several times, causing all the rabbits that had turned into frogs to jump towards him without hesitation.

but……

"Did you throw it too far?"

Ram stretched out his hand and looked towards the sky, watching Natsuki Subaru flying farther and farther away.

In order to throw it farther, she used magic, but she was obviously not used to the power she had lost for many years.

"I can't fly."

Yimi grabbed her hands over there and looked at Ram expectantly.

She also wants to fly high.

"There's nothing I can do. Betty will take you there."

Beatrice tore a hole in the air, grabbed Yimi's hand and went in, giving Roswaal and Ram a chance to settle their grudge.

Following the direction that Duotu was chasing, the open space within a radius of one kilometer was almost entirely filled with frogs, leaving no place for people to stand. Fortunately, no one was gathering in this special area at the moment.

The two little girls landed on the steps, and Beatrice vaguely felt that something was wrong.

"and many more……"

"Now, little Yimi, while I can still hold on!"

The different signals given by Natsuki Subaru suppressed her voice.

Yimi pointed his spear at the ground and released magic power as powerful as a castle-killing Noble Phantasm, radiating outward from himself.

This level should be enough to eliminate all the rabbits at once, but Beatrice was not happy at all, because the place where they were standing was the trial site of the sanctuary.

In other words, it was the grave of her mother, the Greedy Witch.

Chapter 48 This bad woman!

Betty is a very nice person. Except for the fact that she likes to control the amount of catnip that Yimi chews every day, which makes her unhappy, she is a good person in other aspects.

For example, she would read her a story before going to bed at night, even if Betty's tone was not very vivid.

Betty also helped Yimi braid her hair after she got up. Now her hair has grown so long that she can hardly braid it by herself.

She is very supportive of Xiaomao in every way and is the person closest to Yimi in this world, but her mental state seems to be a little off.

"Just stand there and don't run!"

Beatrice, who only had a shoe on one foot, chased after Yimi closely because she was holding the other shoe as a weapon.

Yimi clasped her hands together and moved her calves vigorously in front of her, occasionally looking back to see if Beatrice was catching up.

It was Betty who brought her here, but you still got angry after she did it. The cat gave up so much game to help you clean up the trouble, and you still blamed the innocent and poor cat.

"Congratulations to the host for unlocking the achievement [Yimi, run fast, I have a dual personality], and reward 5% portal energy."

"Didn't I just tell you to wait a minute?"

"486, let's get started."

"Does his words have more power than Betty's? Humph!"

Finally, Beatrice took advantage of her longer legs to catch the kitten and slammed her little leather shoes into her butt.

"Well!"

At the same time, Beatrice felt a pain in her buttocks. She looked behind her in embarrassment and didn't see anyone.

He looked down at Yimi again and became angry again.

You're fighting back? I wanted to hit you softer.

Yimi twisted her body to try to move her hand away, and pretended to be pitiful: "It hurts."

Beatrice put down her shoes and checked her out worriedly: "Betty didn't push too hard. Is she feeling unwell?"

The sudden incident almost made her forget the incomprehensible words the child had said before, such as "going to another world to find mother".

"hehe."

The light laughter interrupted Beatrice's violent behavior and made her come to her senses. They were originally in the open space at the entrance of the trial ground, but now they appeared in the sunny green grass without knowing when.

City of Dreams.

This is not a real location. Some people participating in the trial may consciously come here, but logically speaking, neither Yimi nor Beatrice should appear here.

The magical power source from another world interacted with the rituals that constituted the trial, producing some strange directional effects. The probability of this happening was almost the same as an ordinary person collecting some magical objects, placing them randomly, and just happened to complete the ritual of bringing an angel down to earth.

"Mother?"

Beatrice stopped what she was doing and stared blankly at the figure that had appeared in the middle of the lawn at some point.

She was wearing a completely black skirt, like the exclusive attire worn at a funeral, which contrasted with her pale hair and skin, and a slightly raised yet rather naughty smile on the corners of her mouth.

"Beatrice."

"Mother!"

Beatrice quickly put on her shoes, pulled Yimi over to her, and hugged her: "Betty missed you so much."

Even if she is bound by a verbal agreement for four hundred years, it cannot change the daughter's love for her mother.

Echidna reached out and touched her hair. "You haven't changed at all. Have you picked up any bad habits?"

Beatrice clutched her collar tightly and said, "Betty never drank a drop of wine when her mother was away."

This was something Echidna had forbidden.

Echidna tapped her cheek, as if pondering something. "So, Beatrice was secretly drinking while I was alive?"

"not like this!"

The word "alive" successfully reminded Beatrice of the fact that her mother was dead, and in a sense, the woman in front of her, this ghost-like person, could no longer be considered the original Echidna.

Echidna, in her dead state, has emotions but no "human heart".

"Hey~"

Echidna grabbed Imi's armpits and lifted her up high, staring at her chubby little face from left to right, with only a strong desire for knowledge in her eyes.

As a greedy witch, at least in her now deceased state, the 'greed' she showed was curiosity about everything, so among the group of people who came to the Sanctuary, the one she was most interested in was Natsuki Subaru.

She will not be affected by the return of death in the Dream City, and Natsuki Subaru has countless opportunities to trial and error, so it is normal for her, who has a strong desire for knowledge, to want to see all the possibilities that Natsuki Subaru can achieve, right?

Apart from that boy, this little kid was the one she couldn't quite figure out. She even barely knew what he looked like before Yimi arrived at the Holy Land.

"Well."

After Yimi made a nasal sound, Echidna put the kitten down before she became impatient with being held by a stranger.

"The book of wisdom given by Mother has long lost its words."

Even though she knew the person before her was different from the mother she remembered, Beatrice still wanted to confide in her, telling her coquettishly about her loneliness over the past century, the despair of watching the increasingly blank pages, and even regarding 'that person' as the end of her life, and finally the joy of finally no longer being alone.

"I chose this child."

But after opening and closing his mouth, this is the only sentence he could say.

She was chosen to be 'the one' who could free herself from her bondage, all because of a typo in the innocent kitten's handwriting on a blank page: Betty could leave.

"Really? You made your choice, Beatrice."

Echidna's seemingly mischievous smile remained unchanged. She stretched out her finger and flicked Imi's forehead:

"You ruined the trial I carefully set up. You wreaked havoc on someone else's graveyard. Isn't that very rude?"

"Well, I'll give it to you later and bury it."

Kitten shows responsible attitude.

"..."

Then, Yimi realized it belatedly and pointed at her: "That's the book you gave Betty!"

"You're so slow to react?"

Echidna continued to smile.

She smiled until she saw the little kid in front of her lift his foot and kick her calf with his hard-soled shoe.

This bad woman!

-

"Lord Roswaal, Ram's horn has just been repaired, and the strength may be poorly controlled. If you insist on resisting, you may accidentally hurt yourself."

As Ram spoke, Rem followed closely and stood beside her.

"There's no point in saying this anymore. You already have the ability to take revenge on me..."

Roswaal's face was bruised and battered. This was the fate of a wizard who was attacked by a demon like Ram.

"Ram has already said that he does not hate Lord Roswaal."

Ram took out the magic wand that was broken by Yimi.

This wand was given to her by Roswaal himself, and her broken horn is hidden inside it.

"Ram, I love Lord Roswaal deeply!"

Chapter 49: Are you his boss?

"What did this little thing eat to grow up? With such power, why is it afraid of Diego?"

In the center of a thousand-meter-long crater that looked like a construction site, the drowsy Natsuki Subaru slowly stood up. Thanks to the immobilization effect on his body, he was not hurt.

Looking at the land around me that had been dug so deep that there was nothing left, I suddenly felt a panic as if I was in the center of a tsunami, as if I was powerless facing a natural disaster.

If he remembered correctly, the so-called "safe route" and the cloudless area that could be seen were also suspected to have been blown up by this kid.

The Creator must be crazy to give such strong power to a child, or is she the type who looks like a little girl but has actually lived for hundreds of years?

But why did they suddenly stop moving after unleashing their ultimate move? Could it be some kind of move that kills one thousand enemies but injures eight hundred of their own?

"Hey, that guy over there who looks like Typhon was washed away by the flood, is he dead? What the hell is going on?"

The cries of the natives in the sanctuary brought Natsuki Subaru back from his thoughts.

The one who called him was a native of the Sanctuary, a blond boy with muscles and an equally fierce appearance. He slid down the slope sideways, looking warily at Natsuki Subaru, the guy who exuded a strange smell.

Garfiel, though only a teenager, was a man of considerable strength. He was the one who had taken the lead in detaining Roswaal here.

Having said that, he actually didn't want to liberate the people of the Holy Land. Although he felt complicated seeing this area being destroyed, he felt relieved as he had lost something.

"Really dead? You..."

He roughly grabbed Natsuki Subaru's collar and flipped it over.

Looking at Natsuki Subaru's face, he fell into deep thought: "Are you Roswaal's boss?"

"..."

-

"It hurts—"

Echidna, who had been maintaining her composure just now, squatted down and covered her calves. Although she had no flesh, she could feel the real pain.

Because of the terrain of Gensokyo, and considering that Imi can't fly and likes to run around, Marisa had someone make her shoes that are not only hard but also not easy to wear out.
