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

Echidna was wearing a thin skirt, and this was just like someone's bare legs suddenly hitting the front of their calves against the corner of a table in the summer.

"Mother!"

Beatrice glared at Yimi: "What are you doing?"

"It's okay Beatrice."

Rubbing her calf to relieve the pain, Echidna kept smiling, but the fake smile made the feeling even worse.

She returned evil with kindness, turned around and poured a cup of tea and handed it to Yimi: "Come, have something to drink first."

The contents here are equivalent to her body fluids.

Yimi stiffened her neck and took a step back cautiously: "Xunzi won't let me drink something from a stranger."

"Oh, I see. He's a good kid who's very cautious."

Echidna took back the cup.

Beatrice quickly took Yimi's hand and pulled her back: "Mother, she didn't mean it."

"Ah, Beatrice is becoming like a mother now."

"Mother……"

Echidna gently pinched Yimi's face and said, "It's rare for you to come here, don't you have anything to ask? I am the Witch of Greed, who represents wisdom."

In fact, she wanted to understand this little thing more. Isn't the unknown always exciting?

"Why, let Betty guard there?"

Imi pointed at Echidna and asked the question that Beatrice couldn't ask.

"why?"

Echidna tapped her chin with her index finger. "Who knows..."

At this moment, she was so heartless that she could probably only give such an answer.

The kitten raised its foot again and kicked Echidna's other calf hard.

"what--"

Echidna squatted down again and hugged her legs.

She looked up again, and the smile on her face finally couldn't be maintained.

"..."

Then Yimi and the others were driven out of the City of Dreams.

After waking up from the almost flattened trial ground, Beatrice stared blankly at the sky.

Echidna could erase their memories of traveling to the Dream City to prevent these things from being leaked to certain people, but Beatrice remembered what had just happened very clearly.

"I'm talking to you!"

Beatrice angrily grabbed Yimi's shoulders and spun her around in circles. "Betty finally got to see her mother, and you ruined it all! Hand over all your catnip! I'm going to confiscate it and you won't be able to eat it for three days!"

She still had a lot to say to her mother, such as that Qiu Si was alive and well now, that she had reunited with her brother, and that the cat Xiaomi had recently said that she was "going to leave this world."

If it were the mother, she would definitely know what was wrong with the cat Xiaomi and would definitely find a solution...

Yimi resisted her turning and reached out to touch Beatrice's face, but found that this time Beatrice was not crying.

"Because she bullied you."

Cat's mother would never do such a thing.

"..."

Really, every time Betty gets upset she always says something like this which makes it hard to be angry with her.

Beatrice stopped what she was doing and said, "Betty must have annoyed her mother, right?"

She turned to look at the destroyed trial site.

To be exact, it was not destroyed. The intricate structure was exposed, surrounding the body of Echidna who was lying there. It seemed to be well preserved, lying quietly in a coffin covered with flowers.

Beatrice walked over and placed her hands on the edge of the coffin: "Mother..."

"She's dead again!"

Yimi pointed at Echidna's body in shock.

The kitten just kicked her twice!

"The reaction is too slow. The mother died four hundred years ago. What we saw was just the remnants of her consciousness."

Beatrice stared at the person in the coffin intently, afraid that she would forget the other person's appearance because of too much time.

Although the time was short, Beatrice was already satisfied to see her mother talking to her again.

Although she had some resentment in her heart, it disappeared the moment she saw the other person. Is this how she feels as a daughter?

"Mother……"

That she made a choice.

Beatrice murmured, but when she looked at Yimi with gradually gentle eyes, she saw that the other party had turned back into a kitten at some point, digging the soil with its hind legs.

"……What are you doing?"

"You promised to bury her."

"..."

Beatrice grabbed Imi by the scruff of the neck and lifted her up.

……

"Is it over yet?"

When they returned to the hut where Roswaal was recuperating, only Roswaal, with a bruised face and unable to resist, and Ram, who threw the stolen Book of Wisdom into the flames, were left.

At this point, no matter how much Roswaal didn't want to, he was powerless to resist.

The pink-haired woman, while saying, "I love Roswaal-sama deeply," pinned Roswaal down and beat him severely. Ram knew that if the beating was too light now, when the child returned, it would probably be more than just a beating.

Roswaal looked at the sky of the sanctuary. The sky in this enclosed area did not seem as beautiful as the outside world.

"She actually took advantage of her master's injuries and attacked him. What a terrible maid she is."

"Ram has always been a terrible maid, Lord Roswaal."

50

Chapter 50 is deeper than I thought.

"The Book of Wisdom..."

It was still the same bed, and Roswaal, whose injuries had more than doubled, lay quietly on it, staring at the ceiling.

Ram was right, it was over. The book of wisdom that had guided him was burned, even though he had done everything according to the instructions.

What should I do next, teacher?

Roswaal narrowed his eyes and looked at Natsuki Subaru. Natsuki Subaru, who was only responsible for attracting fire the whole time, looked puzzled, but because of the horrific makeup on his face, Roswaal couldn't tell his mood.

Roswaal is a man who will do anything to achieve his goals. Ram and Rem are very important to him, and anything that happens to either of them can trigger his anger.

But it was he who leaked the Witch Church's movements, deliberately forcing them to their deaths, allowing two Archbishops of Sin to create difficulties for Natsuki Subaru at once... Regulus? Who is that?

Through the Book of Wisdom, Roswaal could vaguely infer Natsuki Subaru's power and knew that this man had the power of restarting. He wanted to train this cowardly guy into his most perfect "accomplice" and for this he bet on two maids who were very important to him.

As for himself, he has already prepared himself to be tortured to death by Duotu. After the restart, the next him will still act according to his own behavioral logic.

But now everything was easily resolved.

Is this the change you made after restarting so many times? Not only did you win over the powerful people that were ignored in the Book of Wisdom, but even Ram's horn was healed. How many restarts did you have to do to achieve this effect?

He just managed to withstand such a magical impact head-on and survive. It turns out that Natsuki Subaru is not as simple as he imagined.

"Why does it feel like Diego isn't that strong?"

Natsuki Subaru looked at Roswaal, whose injuries had become even more serious, lying on the bed with a complicated expression.

This was the enemy he had in mind? A fight with Ram wouldn't have made as much noise as Duotu had, so why would Yimi be afraid of such a person?

It was so miserable that he was too embarrassed to punch him, even though it was clearly agreed that he would throw the first punch.

This sentence made Roswaal understand that "I made every possible preparation to target you, but you didn't show the strength I expected."

He chuckled and said, "Well, Mr. Natsuki Subaru, you do have the qualifications to be proud now."

"Dia... Roswaal was the kingdom's first wizard. Ram only managed to win by chance, taking advantage of his injuries before he recovered."

Looking at Imi, who was lying on Beatrice's lap in cat form, ready to make a move, Ram grabbed Roswaal by the collar and said, "But this is not enough. Lord Roswaal, please make an oath."

"pledge?"

Yimi raised her cat face and looked at Beatrice.

Beatrice rubbed her head. "Contract, oath, covenant. Oaths are used to bind oneself. Once an oath is established, breaking it will have serious consequences."

Yimi's eyes lit up, and he pressed his front paws twice on Beatrice's thighs: "Then, you must swear to me right now that you will never chase after a cat again."

"Chase? I don't understand what you're talking about."

Roswaal spread his hands, indicating that he wasn't familiar with Yimi. "Or, little girl, have you done something to anger me, so you're taking this opportunity to make me make such a promise? So, you've been avoiding me like you're feeling guilty since we first met."

After he said this, he saw Beatrice, who was holding Yimi, turned her face away without leaving a trace.

Roswaal: "?"

Could he have been right? Besides Rem Ram, the only thing that could possibly infuriate him was the teacher.

But the teacher is also Beatrice's mother. If this little girl really did something to the teacher, Beatrice would not be able to hold her so calmly.

Hearing that Roswaal refused to cooperate, Yimi stood up on all fours and began breathing at him, wagging his tail as if preparing to attack.

Ram quickly pressed Roswaal down and said, "Lord Roswaal, obeying the victor's orders is something you cannot refuse now."

"Oh~ As a maid, you actually lecture me, your master, so forcefully? I'm really sad that you don't stand by my side at this critical moment."

Roswaal removed the bandages, and a pale blue light appeared on his chest. "But I failed after all. Although I've never done this before, I can no longer catch up with you."

"Okay, Diego, the crisis is over. You can sleep peacefully from now on, right?"

Beatrice held up the kitten's upper body and swung Yimi left and right, causing her hind legs to swing as well.

Is that all right?

Yimi looked at Roswaal's face suspiciously.

Cats don’t understand what oaths are, and they are afraid of being deceived.

She looked at the task that showed it was completed, so there was only one world left.

Yimi was in a good mood and meowed as she sang a nursery rhyme.

"..."

So going to another world is a lie, right?

Looking at the lively kitten, Beatrice buried the lower half of her face in the hair on her head.

This must be a lie. She didn't find anything during the examination, so this child can treat others by herself. Or is it that she actually takes on some responsibility when she treats others?

Beatrice stared at Yimi's head in a daze.

Natsuki Subaru clenched his fists and said, "I'm so angry. Although I haven't forgiven him, I have to forgive him temporarily... Xiao Yimi, can you heal him so that we can beat him up again?"

Because this guy is openly Emilia's biggest supporter. Emilia's advantage compared to other candidates is not that big. If she loses this point, it will be more than a half-hearted blow.

“Garfiel, not now…Sister!”

Before Natsuki Subaru's words were responded to, the voice of Rem, who was guarding the door, grabbed everyone's attention.

"I've never heard of anyone asking permission to see someone who lives in their own home."

The young man who had greeted Natsuki Subaru in the center of the giant pit forced his way in. "Wow, there are quite a lot of people here. You're more popular than I thought, Lord Roswaal."

"It would be nice if it were true. What's going on?"

Garfiel looked at him unhappily. “The trial is ruined. You can go now, Master Roswaal. We can’t get out anymore.”
