Cat Go To Isekai!!
09. I'm not ready to be an employer, seriously!

One night, on the road in the middle of the forest.The seven bandits riding a horse-drawn carriage celebrate the success of robbing them by having fun on their horse-drawn carriage.

"We're going to be rich!!"

"this is a great achievement!!"

they sipped alcohol in glass bottles to the extent that some even continued to look at the coins and jewelry they had stolen.

"i didn't expect it. If we'd get this much booty easily...."

"really so.... If every day like this we would be as rich as nobles...."

"if I'm rich, I'll make my own harem....."

"oi oi"

everyone had fun except for one of the Bandits who became the coachman.he had to run the horse-drawn carriage and give himself up for fun.

"haah~ why when they have fun, only I sit holding a horse rope here..... is not fair, but I also want to have fun....."

as he was complaining, his attention began to be distracted by a vague figure walking in front of them. he realized that it was a white-haired woman walking in the clothes of the village lady in general.

the coachman immediately noticed it and called his boss, a man with a scratch on his face.

"Boss...."

"what?"

"look before us...."

the bandit boss started to look at the girl.

"Well, the girl was walking alone in the woods at a time like this?"

"i don't know either"

"let's make him our 'toys' tonight...."

"Toy?"

"Stop this train in front of him...."

"b-well!"

the coachman began to order his horse to advance before the Lady, and they began to stop and come down to the Woman.

the girl was only silent as the bandits approached her. There was only a cold and empty look in her blue eyes.

the bandits began to surround him with lustful gazes, then the bandit leader started talking to him.

"hey miss. What is a pretty girl like you walking alone in the middle of the night like this?"

the girl just kept quiet, and the bandit leader took out his sword and started to play his sword on the girl's body.

"Your body shape is also good, especially the size of your breasts are big. Surely you are a woman tonight is not."

the girl did not fight back at all when the bandit leader teased her, but instead she raised a strange question to the bandit leader.

"Are you the strongest?"

"uh uh? What's that question?"

"again..are you the strongest?"

"of course... Does that answer satisfy you?"

then the bandit's hand slowly began to want to touch the girl's breast.

"now... let's see how beautiful the lady is",

Suddenly, the girl punched him in the face until he bounced on the bandit's horse-drawn carriage, causing the horse-drawn carriage to disintegrate and the horse to flee in panic.

the other bandits could only be shocked when his boss who had suddenly been knocked down quite violently.

"Boss!! you're all right!!?"

"What are you doing, you son of a bitch!! Finish the girl!!"

Hearing the orders from his boss, the other bandits immediately drew his sword and prepared to attack the girl.

the girl began to repeat the same question.

"among you, who is the strongest.....?"

"Much Cheers!!"

one of the bandits started attacking her from behind in the other after all, but the girl managed to finish them all off one by one without any injuries.

The bandit leader could only stare in horror at the girl, as the girl stared at her, instantly the man immediately kowtowed and pleaded.

"I'm sorry!! we are just ordinary bandits!! we'll give you anything!! please forgive us!!"

As the girl walked, the bandit leader immediately closed his eyes in fear that something bad would happen to her.

but the opposite is happening....

The girl walked away from the bandits who were already helpless as a result of her actions, and she continued her journey towards the road that connected to Axel City.

...****************...

the days were usually in the Guild....

what's interesting today?

I don't know. I feel kind of lazy to do something other than chew my food.

then, what about my other party members?

yeah.this time.....

"Alright, Yuki! Fight me in a Panco fight!!"

Alfred Challenges Yuki duel again....

Since that day, Alfred has constantly invited Yuki to duel.You could say they are Rival now.

but their Rivalry is too much in my opinion. Every time Yuki wants to do something, Alfred will challenge him.

"Adu Panco huh? All right. I'll take your challenge this time"

of course he accepted. all this time he always won against Alfred. Since the beginning of the duel was biased....

"All right! Milia! you're the referee!"

"I? Ohhhh...."

of course, without me being a referee, I already knew who would win....

"huh, looks like you're being lazy then.... Silvy!!"

"y-yeah!"

"I want you to be the referee this time!"

"b-well...."

Alfred and Yuki sat facing each other with one of their hands clasped firmly at the table. Silvya who was holding her second hand began to give her cues....

"Ready..... Go!"

he raised his hand up and the panco fight started, and I didn't want to look at it any further because I already knew who was going to win.

I just sighed....

I don't know why I'm not excited to do something today.... The way out is very lazy....

"hello, Milia...."

Noir came and greeted me as usual.

"Hello, Noir.... We haven't seen each other in a long time....."

"Because we're undergoing an Expeditionary Quest, so we'll have to get out of town for a few days by the way, your party is complete huh, Milia"

"Yes.... That's how it was. At first it was quite difficult to find new members...."

"you're right.. looking for party members like this is quite difficult huh...."

while I was chatting with Noir, my attention was distracted by the City Police Uniformed Man who walked over and approached Astridia in the Administration.

"What's the town cop coming here for?"

"maybe they want to cancel their Quest"

"Quest what?"

"Quest Bandit's arrest. I recently heard the news that the bandit group they were looking for was found in the forest"

"in the woods?"

"yes, when they were discovered, their condition seemed to be beaten by someone who was very strong, but when they were asked who did it, they did not remember it."

"is that not a monster?"

"either.g., but the capture quest was not given because they were all arrested"

I looked back at the city police, this time he spoke to Harold near the Quest board.

This time my curiosity was fixed on Harold.

Not that I like him. But I was thinking.... Did he never work on a Quest and lean beside the Quest board every day?

"Hey, Noir. Speaking of Quest.... Have you ever seen Harold run a Quest?"

"Harald? No. gabe.... I have never seen him run a Quest in my time as an adventurer. All he did was lean next to the board...."

"that's it. You don't know either.... "

"why did you suddenly ask that?"

"it's nothing. I'm just curious about him. If he ever did a Quest, I wonder how strong he is. that's all...."

"that's it. That's all I'm curious about him, too...."

as everyone was engrossed in their activities.Suddenly, the doors of the Guild opened quite wide. the sound of the hinge was quite echoing and made everyone speechless and began to focus on the door including me and Noir.

A figure of a girl with long white hair and blue eyes with a cold gaze.

Who's the girl?

That's what I'm asking.

Her clothes were like the clothes of a village lady in general so it was impossible if she was an adventurer. And if he wanted to make a Quest, I don't think he needed to be that big opening the doors of such a Guild. And he didn't move after opening the door at all. Just stand up and stare at the entire Guild.

"Who is he?"

"I don't know either.... But he's obviously a little weird...."

The girl began to talk.

"Who is the strongest among you?"

Everything returned to silence in confusion. Some people began to mutter to each other about what the girl's purpose was.

When everyone whispers and murmurs. Suddenly Alfred went straight up to the table and began to speak...

"If you look for it here, your decision is absolutely right. I'm the one who's the one"

Me and Yuki instantly stuffed her mouth to shut up.

"Ahahaha~ sorry if my friend interfered yes!"

Me and Yuki immediately put it down. And I started to reprimand him while whispering.

"What are you doing stupid...?! Why are you yelling like that?!"

"Really... We don't know what the girl's purpose is to find the strongest...."

As we were trying to silence Alfred's mouth, one of the big-bodied adventurers began to approach the girl.

"what's wrong, miss? why are you looking for a strong man?"

"Are you the strongest here?"

"if so why? what do you want, miss? do you need a bodyguard?"

"if so duel with me...."

the man was surprised and astonished, but he only rejected it subtly.

"I'm sorry, miss. I won't hurt you even if you're"

suddenly the man was thrown to hit the table until the table was destroyed, and it was the act of the girl.he had just used very strong wind magic.

everyone was shocked and started to feel that girls were very dangerous.

after throwing the man with magic, the girl again repeated her question

"is there anyone stronger than that guy?"

everyone just fell silent and looked at the girl vigilantly.even they secretly prepared their weapons if the girl suddenly attacked, or they would attack first.

the atmosphere is getting tense....

me and the others were speechless.just sitting quietly while paying attention to this tense situation...

in a moment of tense atmosphere, suddenly one of the adventurers started talking.

"You don't have to be so careful with him. Keep your weapons, and everything will be fine."

the sound came from behind, and it was quite familiar to all of our ears.

when I looked, he was Harold.

"Harold-san?"

"You seem interested in a strong man yes, miss. I don't know what purpose you're looking for."

"are you the most powerful person here?"

"Yes, you could say that....."

Harold walked up and walked over to the Man that the girl had just thrown him, he began to stretch out his hand to help her get up.

"Are your injuries severe, Griz?"

"Ugh... Although this is very painful, it does not seem to be severe...."

"that's it.. good...."

he began to help her stand up. After that, Harold continued his conversation with the Girl.

"Hey miss. Your wish is to duel with the strongest person here, right?"

"yes"

"in that case, I will grant your request...."

"what's that?"

"tell me who you are, and get out of here without hurting anyone. okay?"

"alright.. we will fight in the meadow outside the city. prepare yourself"

"of course...."

the girl left the Guild.

and everyone went back to mumbling about the duel.

I didn't hear it very clearly, but clearly they said that Harold would win.

and Harold looked relaxed after accepting the challenge.he immediately did some stretching of his arm muscles.

"all right.. I haven't done it in a long time.. oh yeah...."

he started talking to all the adventurers in the Guild.

"You're gonna want to watch me duel, right?"

Everyone started giving the same answer.

"Yes of course!"

"we want to see you give up that girl!"

Harold slightly smiled hearing all of those answers.

"All right! Let's go now! let's see who's the strongest here!"

"YES!!!"

Everyone cheered excitedly.only me, Noir and my party members were a little confused.

"It's so exciting...."

I can't say anything but it's so confusing.

"All right! come with me now! The Adventurers!"

Harold began walking out of the Guild, followed by the adventurers who wanted to watch the duel.

Yuki started to stand up and walked up to the other adventurers.

the Alfred

"of course! I want to see how strong that man is!"

then Silvya

"I-I want to see it, too..."

then Noir.

"me too, What about you Milia?"

of course I answered with.....

"of course! let's see it."

and we started walking out of the Guild following the other adventurers.

Along the way, the other adventurers in front were unceasingly cheering in favor of Harold walking in their lead.

I was quite amazed to see them cheering like that. Noir and I could only speak in the back row.

"It's very exciting, yeah...."

"you're right. It looks like a march"

before long I began to hear Someone calling me from behind.

"Milia!"

I turned my head back, and the ones calling me were Lilith and Prisyla who were running panting.me and Noir stopped and approached the two of them.

"Lilith, Prisyla? why are you panicking so."

"This is serious Milia... very serious...."

"why relationship?"

"I just got word from Kenalan Prisyla who works as an Archaeologist. They said that one of Machina escaped from her seal and could have been dangerous if not stopped"

"Machina?"

"If not mistaken, it was an ancient Golem whose physique was completely similar to that of a Human. normally they worked to help humans"

"right, But my friend said, this Machina is completely out of control.she constantly attacks people who feel like the strongest people"

"and by the way...Why are adventurers flocking out of the City? what's the matter"

"Everybody wants to watch Harold duel. And the one who challenged the duel was a girl"

"girl?"

"yes.. when he came to the guild, all he was looking for was who was the strongest in.... Just sec....."

I feel like the girl has a resemblance to the last Machina that Prisyla told me about.

"don't-don't....."

"what's up Milia? do you know anything?"

"The one to challenge Harold was.... Machina you're looking for...."

Instantly, they were increasingly worried about Machina.

"It's worse than I thought, if he's up to a fight..."

"AAARRRRRGGGHHHH!!! if he gets badly damaged, it will be troublesome!"

"How about this, Milia. Harold will soon start his duel"

"I'm confused too, Noir. If only we knew sooner about this"

"We can't stop the duel, but we can save it before Machina is badly damaged by the fight."

"Then don't just talk here! we need to hurry!"

Lilith ran back to the outer gate of the City in a hurry.

****************

The green outer city meadows had now become the battle arena between Harold and the Machina Girl.

the other adventurers saw her from a distance.I, Noir, Prisyla and Lilith could only See elsewhere not far from where the other adventurers were watching.

why are we in a separate place?

because we can't see it if it's watching in the same place as the other adventurers and it will hinder our goal to save that Machina.

"It's about to start...."

"Looks like. I'm a little worried if our plan will work."

"me too.... Hey, Prisyla"

"it's likely that 10% of the rescue plan is successful"

"10%? isn't that too little?"

"if this is related to time, then the possibility is like that, so we have to find a very fitting time to save it"

"that's how it is. it's hard....."

As I looked around me, I realized that Lilith was missing.

"Lilith where, Prisyla?"

"he went back to his lab to prepare Machina's repair tool. Maybe he'll be back in a minute."

The fight will soon begin. Harold warmed up several times to fight while talking to the girl.

"Are you sure you're wearing that, miss? Don't you have a hard time fighting with clothes like that?"

"Absolutely not...."

"Your attitude is really cold, Miss. To be honest, fighting with a woman is really a disrespectful thing for a man. So, actually I don't want to hurt you..."

"That's so.... Then...."

The girl started to stretch her right hand forward then a red magic circle appeared. A pointy-shaped Flame appeared in that magic circle.

".... I'll hurt you first"

He shot it with immense force towards Harold. Harold did not dodge at all, and a huge explosion appeared.

I thought Harold had lost to the girl but he didn't. He stood still with a excited face.

"I had expected that there would be a surprise attack at the beginning. So, I've been preparing my defense from the beginning. All righty! Now it's my turn!"

Harold began to do the Horses fight. On his arm appeared a kind of strange light that resembled a magic circle but its shape was more like a large bracelet. And he did not bring up his only 1 pair, but three pairs.

"That's what?"

Prisyla answered my question with 1 word

"Buffs."

"Buffs? Is that also some kind of magic?"

"Yes, it's more of a magic that increases status independently."

"that's it. I've never been taught by my father about magic...."

"of course, Buff is a complicated skill for beginners to learn. If you wear it wrong, it can be dangerous. It seemed like he was already used to using that skill. Pretty impressive for an adventurer like her"

3 pairs of magical bracelets then begin to shrink and look like they entered the body of Harold. Harold began to feel the effect of the skill on his body.

"Yosha!! Time to start!!"

He clenched his hands and began to stomp his feet on the ground. Then he started to slide quickly towards the girl. And he prepared to kick right next to the girl. And as expected, the girl held him back and retaliated against Harold's attack with a successful blow on Harold's field. And a fierce fight ensued.

The other adventurers watched in admiration. They don't stop encouraging him. Same with me and Noir. However, we were only silent in our admiration.

The fight continued until Harold managed to kick the Pelipis section left the girl. The girl reacted and instantly cast a magic that made Harold bounce quite far away from her.

Harold managed to bounce far away, yet he was still able to get up. But the opposite happened to the girl. He looked weakened and his right hand continued to hold his left temple which for a while caused an electric spark.

Prisyla noticed it right away,

"Wine! He's already starting to show signs of damage."

"What?!"

"The attack hit his head. It's really dangerous..... If so, then...."

Harold seemed not to see if the girl was starting to weaken. Then he started to pull out the buff again for the final attack.

"All right! Time for the final attack!!"

3 Pairs of magic bracelets appear. This time the 3 magic gave Harold considerable power in the previous appeal. Everyone could feel his extremely powerful magic aura.

".... I guessed! He would end the fight with such great strength... Milia, it's time for you to protect that machina!"

"Good-wait.... Huh uh?!"

just wait! why at a time like this do I save that machina?

why not from earlier?

Noir disagreed with the decision

"Wait, Prisyla, it's not too dangerous for Milia to do it at a time like this..."

"I know.... but we have another time to save Machina..... and the only person who can do it is Milia......... are you able to do it, Milia?"

if you say it like that, how else....

anyways, the only ones who know about this matter are me and Noir.

so, inevitably I have to do it

"of course! I will fight as I can!"

I rushed towards that machina.

"The rest I leave to you!! Prisyla!! Noir!!"

"Yes!"

I tried my hardest to run to make it in time, but I realized that Harold would be ready to attack the machina.

so I shortened my time with my wind magic.

"Receive this Cover attack!!"

Harold bolted like a rocket before he arrived and attacked the machina.

Harold realized someone was blocking him and he couldn't stop his attack.so with me, there was no evasive time.

immediately I began to bring up my strongest Magical Shield.

"DIVINE SHIELD!!!"

A giant white magical shield with a pair of wings appeared, and just after that, Harold's Attack arrived.I tried to keep the shield from being destroyed.

I could feel his incredible strength.I don't know until when I can survive with this shield that is getting longer and longer starting to bring up cracks everywhere.

luckily, the Shield was destroyed after Harold's attack completely stopped. My body immediately went limp after holding the shield.

"Aaaaahhhhh~ thank God I can still hold....."

"The cat girl? did you hold him?"

Harold realized that I was doing it, without further ado, I explained the point.

"Don't fight it....."

"uhuh?"

"i'm protecting him because he's a rare Machina"

"Machina's? so he's Machina?!"

"Yes, so I was forced to hold you back so as not to make it break, but it's okay, he just had less damage, so I guess he'll be fine sa-"

The machine was lying down and no longer active.

"He's dead!!"

when the other adventurers were confused by what happened, Lilith suddenly came running while pulling the cart.

"Keep away all of you!! There's a patient I have to take!!"

he ran the wagon towards us, and he stopped, lifted the Machina up and I got into the wagon, and then with all his might he pulled it again.

I didn't think he could take me and machina so easily.What because he was in a state of panic, so his adrenaline increased.

I don't know, obviously, he took Machina not to his lab but to my Property party.

...****************...

in one of the rooms in my Property party. Lilith had just repaired that broken piece of Machina and laid it on the Mattress.

"Finally Finished too.... All parts of this broken machina I've fixed....hah~ I think this Machina is useful.. It turns out just Love Machina"

"Love Machina?"

"Ah.... it's Machina who is in charge of being the gratification of the lust of the men hundreds of years ago.usually they are employed in Bordil"

"So Machina's job is just a lustful gratifier.....but why does she have such powerful magic? what does magic have to do with lust?"

"actually not her relationship, but, the reason they were given such powerful magic was because hundreds of years ago, the, The Demon King at that time was so strong that it could not be defeated by humans at that time and Machina's combat was also getting less and less, The entire Machina was turned into a Combat Machina to win the fight"

"so what man managed to win?"

"yes, of course.but, Machina who was turned into a combat Machina had a problem.they suddenly attacked the humans who considered them strong.so at that time, too, they had a problem, The Machinas were also destroyed.so some of the machinas that survived were saved for future study like this one machina....."

"so it is...."

Lilith started packing her equipment and started coming out of the room.

"because machina is less attractive, I'll give you that machina, then see you again!"

"Steel-on"

forget it, he's gone.

Because it's just me and Machina.I can only look at the machina with a bit of caution of course....

I know he's still sleeping, but I'm still thinking negatively about this machina.... this Machina is still after a strong man like that.....

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!! I cannot think positively about this!!!

as I was thinking negative things about Machina it slowly opened the machina eyes and he began to wake up. I who saw him was immediately shocked and silent because of fear.

he looked at me in confusion.

I don't know what he's thinking, but, if he asks who's the strongest here, then I'll run away from here.

he started asking something....

and that is....

"Are you my Master?"

Mister?

Does this kind of Machina also have a master?

and the tone of his speech was also more subtle and sounded rather plain compared to before which seemed a bit cold.

I don't know what to say with this Machina....

"eeee.. I don't know.. I guess....."

he started to smile when he heard that answer.

"Master!"

she immediately wanted to hug me but I immediately held her with my hands subtly.

"I'm sorry..but, can we not have a hug like that?"

he was not angry at all, instead he happily obeyed him.

"All right, sir"

he immediately retreated and began to introduce himself.

"greetings, my name is Eva. I will be ready to serve you whenever you want, sir.... "

"Milia, just call me Milia...."

"Alright, Miss.Milia"

"Milia only...."

"Alright, please cooperate, Milia."

how to explain her. The point is, she considers me now as her Master.
