1 year ago...
The rain was very heavy at the time. My little body just shivered in the cold inside a Cardboard that gradually began to get wet from the rain. The usually warm and soft fabric has now been cold and very uncomfortable.
Haa~ I just wanted to die at that time. For a moment, a large object blocked the raindrops coming down from the sky. I slowly looked up and saw a red umbrella protecting my cardboard from the rain.
Then someone began to peek into the cardboard. A Girl with a High School Uniform. Usually they will look for a while and then leave by leaving a meal. However, this girl is different. He lifted my cold body and I could see his face which gave a warm smile to me.
And that was the first time we met...
After that incident... We became adventurers and fought monsters, dragons, golems, Undead, and Slime... We fought the demon lord together....
No. gabe... That's not real. It was just an adventurous novel that we used to read together in our spare time.
A year after we first met. I live with my new employer who is definitely the High School Girl. And indirectly, my employer's hobby spread to me that I was interested in watching anime, seeing him play games, and Reading Manga or novels.
Yep... I'm not lying... That's my hobby now besides eating and sleeping.
Oh yea... I forgot I had a name.
My employer gave me the name "Maru" but he used to call me "Maru-Chan"... It's okay for me because she's my employer.
I am 1 year older.... Maybe if I was human I was already a teenager or older than my master.
My fur is dark gray, and my eyes are blue.... The gender? Of course I'm a female...
My master's name is Masamoto Hatsune. He's still in High School and now he's in 3rd grade.
His eyes and hair are brown. Her hair is so long and beautiful.
Her hobbies are like I said, she's my Otaku. Even so, from the outside he did not look like an otaku in general. And most importantly, he was a good person.
Every time we read a novel or manga together, he always wanted to live in a world like in a novel. Adventure, Run a Quest with his Party, and Defeat the Demon King.
And my dreams are not much different from her. It seems like living in such a world is fun compared to living in a world like this.
Playing together with Hatsune-san was a lot of fun. But without him, my life would be boring... Very tedious.
Hatsune-san would usually leave in the morning and go home in the afternoon. After he left for school, the atmosphere of the room became quiet. The only thing I can do is.
Sleep....
Playing with foreign objects....
Get down the stairs and go up....
Roll over....
Then go to sleep again
I will do that until he comes back.
About the outside world... I don't know. After I was taken care of by Hatsune-san, I did not want to leave the house at all let alone just play into the courtyard. Even when I was a kid, I just stayed in the cardboard box until someone would adopt me.
But, on the other hand. I have a strong desire to see the outside world.
So sometimes I try to get out through the window and..... No, like his outside world is too scary.....
And I tried it again!!...... No, it seems too dangerous.....
Don't Surrender!!! I'm definitely-..... Impossible, impossible, impossible.... I can't do it.... I was too scared to do it....
That's often the case when I want to try to see the outside world. My mind and desire are always different... So I have to wait for the right time to leave.
To this day... Is the time I'll start it....
I started to open my eyes...
Soleness... That's all that happens in this house...
I began to stretch my body, then prepare to get out.
I jumped from Chair to table, then opened the Lock window with both of my hands despite quite the process... Not to mention opening the window.
When I opened the window, the wind started to blow inward. Makes me excited to get out.
Alright.... We Start!!
I jumped out and landed on a roof not far from the window. I saw a beautiful view outside. My dream has been achieved. And it's time for me to enjoy the outside world with a walk over the fence.
I started down the roof and started walking over the concrete fence while looking around.
The outside world is really beautiful... I think I'd like to take a longer walk...
I walked around looking at all kinds of things. Children playing, grandmothers walking with sticks in their hands, other cats looking for food together. Everything was visible along the way.
When I am walking. My eyes were distracted by a little bird perched on a tree branch. Since I am a cat, I will not hold back my predatory instincts...
I slowly climbed up the tree and as I reached the same branch as the bird, I moved slowly to pick up my arms.
Little bird..... Just stay right there... Let me eat you....
Without a second thought I started pouncing on him with both hands. But, I was too high-expectation....
The bird flew away for a moment I started pouncing on it, and again.... I slipped....
Eehh.... Loincloth.... I slipped....
I fell out of a tree, and luckily I landed my feet first. I sighed as I landed safely.
Mercifully.... I thought I was going to die by then.
But when I look sideways. A dog that began to feel disturbed by my arrival. I can only be silent.
He started barking and made me panic and immediately ran away. But the dog started chasing me.
I ran as hard as I could until I looked back. Turns out that dog in can't chase me any further because he's tied up in his cage.
Just sec... If he's tied up means....
I started to put out a sly smile and since he was tied up and couldn't catch up with me, I teased him in various ways.
I teased her starting from rolling over, cleaning my body in front of her who was trying to reach me, even I played my tail on her face.
Come... Come.... Arrest me if you can. Too bad you can't catch me...
The longer the dog gets irritated and keeps barking and keeps tugging at the rope. And without me realizing the rope is getting more and more slack. And the rope came off.
I just kept quiet seeing the rope come off. Then, I slowly ran away before the dog realized it.
But late... The dog saw it...
Ah... Karmas.... Why are you so fast....
And the dog started to growl and started chasing me. And there's nothing I can do but... Of course run away from him!!
Tiiiddhaaaaaakkkk!!!!
The dog kept chasing me wherever I went. I could only run in fear and find a path I didn't know because the dog kept chasing me.
Excuse me..... I'm sorry!! Stop chasing me.... I'm sorry!!!
I don't know when to run. Until I saw a tree. One thing a dog cannot do is climb a tree. So I quickly jumped on the tree and climbed it until the dog could not reach me.
The dog looked at me and kept barking. Since I knew he couldn't climb it, I mocked him back.
Why are you barking?... Come get me.... True too.... You can't climb, can you?!
I kept mocking him until he was desperate and left.
He finally left too... Well I don't want anything bad to happen again, I'd better go home.
I jumped down from the tree and landed on the ground. Then I plan to go back.
Alright... Time to go back home.... Butbut wait.... Where to go home?
I forgot one thing....
I FORGOT MY WAY HOME!!!
Ah!? This way.... This way.... Because of the dog I got lost!!
I looked up at the sky and the sun was right above my head which meant it was already noon.
I don't know how to. And think of only one way.
There's no other choice... I'll explore the whole place to find my way home!!!
Yeah, that's all I can do...
It's time for my adventurer to start!!
And excitedly, I began to walk looking for a way home to all the routes. And my great adventure begins!!
No. gabe....
It's just bullshit
Great from where?
Who said this was great?
IT'S LIKE HELL!!!
All the way I was attacked by birds!!
Wild cat!!
Dogs!!
The snake!!
Birds again!!
Dogs again!!
Even I will be molested by a male cat!! I didn't know it was mating season!!
I experienced it all the way. You know when that's up?
Yeah, until the afternoon. I had to go through a tiring and drying journey until I felt like I wanted to die.
I walked with a dirty body and was very tired. I can only say one thing....
I'm not strong anymore..... I just want to go home....
When I walk... I saw a familiar house across the street. Yeah, it's my house. And luckily, Hatsune-san just got home from school.
That's... I made it home!! And Hatsune-san also went home!!
I directly called Hatsune-san by meowing... But how many times did I meow, he didn't hear.
He didn't hear ya.... I'll come over and surprise you...
Without a second thought I immediately ran to Hatsune-san to give a surprise.
Hatsune-san is!! I'm h-home...
Without know... A car is approaching... And I couldn't escape until... Collision occurred.
I felt my bones being crushed and crushed by the impact... My body also floated and crashed hard onto the ground. Hatsune-san looked at the incident as well.then frantically approached me with a panicked and anxious face.
"DORROPE!!"
Aaaahhh.... My body is very sick.... Blood keeps coming out of my body... And it's getting longer... I'm getting cold...
Hatsune-san came and approached me, and raised my dying body.
Yep... I could see her anxious face while lifting up my body.
"Look.... Hang on!! The maru.... Maru!!"
Slowly.... His voice is starting to be hard to hear.... And it's getting dark....
Aaaahh..... I shouldn't have left the room at that time...
...Xxp...
The pain just now disappeared....
I opened my eyes and I was in a different place... Very different than before.
The place was very spacious and dim and filled with piles of books that I did not know how many there were. And I saw a lot of blue glowing balls flying.
I woke up and realized that my body was not feeling any pain at all.
I didn't know what was going on until I looked at my whole body and realized....
I got two Tails and they're on fire.
"YAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! MY TAIL IS ON FIRE!!!"
I was shocked and and instantly extinguished the blue flames on my tail. But the fire did not go out.
"Why not go out?!! Just sec...."
Burning tails is one of the oddities that occur. The next big thing is....
"I CAN TALK!!!"
Yep...
I can talk
Not just "meow" or "nyan~"
"What's going on here? What don't-don't.... Am I really dead? And this is the realm of death?"
I asked myself. Until someone started yawning and I looked for the source of the sound. There is someone other than myself in this world
A white-robed man was sitting by reading a strange book.
She has long blonde hair.
And his eyes are blue. And that's beautiful sangar.
Plus she wears a piece of jewelry on her head.
Because I don't know where I am. I called him right away.
"Excuse me.... Do you know where I am?"
He didn't hear my voice. He seems to be too focused on his reading. Inevitably I had to repeat it with a strong tone.
he immediately realized my voice and stopped reading the book he was reading.
"Owh... There's another new spirit, huh..."
"What the fuck are you, I've called you so many times...."
"really? Ahahahah.... I'm sorry, I'm so bored I live here, I read books that I don't even notice the presence of spirits."
"See, you just said I'm a spirit?"
"Of course, it's clearly proven through your tail."
"means... I'm dead already?"
"Yes, no creature can come here unless they're dead. If you want to know, this is a world of meetings. And I'm the one who's guarding this world. My name is Feirn, the God of Reincarnation"
"You... A god?!! Why is this place so dusty? Aren't you the one guarding this place?"
"of course. Although I'm a god, cleaning up a place this vast takes more than 100 years" you know"
"100 years?! How big is this place?"
"Very wide, even beyond the earth possible. So cleaning up this place is a waste"
"So that's it...."
" *Ekhm! Alright... Because you're a spirit that just died... I'll look at your data."
"Data?"
"Yes... Please wait a minute.... Because the process might be a long time..."
"All right..."
The god closed his eyes and patted his hands. A light appeared under his feet. After that he opened his eyes then opened his hands and stretched them to the side. And he started screaming....
"SEARCHING!!!"
After saying that, slowly the books that were around started flying one by one towards the god then surrounded him. And the books began to open and turned the pages quickly. Upon reaching the last page, the Book closes and returns to where it came from and another book begins to take its position and do the same.
The books do the same thing over and over again. I don't know how many books have been replaced, and what books have come are the same books? I don't know, I'm just a cat.
When all the books did the same thing, suddenly one of the books stopped turning the pages. The god who instantly noticed it started picking up books that stopped flipping. When the god took the book, the other books closed and returned to where they came from.
"alright... I found your data...."
"So those books?"
"It's a data book of living things... With this book, I can see the data of the living dead and why they died."
"But why don't you just make it in one book? Or don't make it just a sheet?"
"2 words. That's troublesome. If I make it in one book it's too thick and tall. It's too hard to read it. And if I turn it into a sheet it will look too messy. Hence, making it in book form like this was easier. It will pile up but it is more comfortable. Alright.... Is there anything else you want to ask?"
"Well.... No more of it.... For the time being..."
"so yeah. Alright... I'll check your death records first..."
The god began to read my death data very carefully.
"Your name is Maru... You are only one year old... According to the data you have been raised by a girl named Hatsune... And you died because... I'm guessing you got hit by a car when you got home... Ordinary death according to me... More than millions of dead creatures have been hit by cars... I'm afraid that the God of death's duty will be changed by four-wheeled vehicles"
"Can I ask you again?"
"Please, I'll listen to her..."
"What happened to Hatsune-san after I died"
"I don't know for sure what happened because I'm just here waiting for a new spirit to come. But if I may assume, he may be devastated by your death."
"of course.... I shouldn't have left the house at that time. I'll definitely stay alive."
"It wasn't your fault. Your destiny is like that. No living creature knows when they die, even avoiding their fate. That's impossible for living beings."
"Means I can't see Hatsune-san anymore huh?"
"Maybe it is.... It might not... Because we're in the next stage..."
"Next stage?"
"Yes, it's time for my duties as a reincarnation god to begin!"
The god snapped his finger and balls of light began to approach him and formed 3 medium-sized balls with 3 different colors.
"alright... It's time you chose your next life..."
"Next life?"
"You will be reborn... But you have to choose between these 3 worlds... "
The god began to take the white colored ball and instantly the ball changed to form two colors red and blue.
"... This is the Hereafter, the eternal resting place... The spirit that usually chose this was a spirit that already had no regrets whatsoever in the world before him... So they'll rest here forever. However, the spirits must be pre-trial by the god of justice in order to find a proper place for the spirit. Be it hell or heaven..."
The ball was put back where it came from and the god took the yellow ball.
"... This is the world before which you lived. If you choose this. You will be reborn into your old world as a new living being."
Heard the words of the god. I might have met Hatsune-san. I hesitated a little until I asked him
"Meaning, can I meet Hatsune-san again?"
"Unfortunately I'm not sure about that. Because you will be born as a new creature. Maybe you'll be a human, or a plant or a little animal. Sorry to disappoint you, but the chances of you meeting Hatsune-san are quite small...."
"That's it...."
Hearing that answer I was immediately gloomy. The god also felt uncomfortable saying that.
"All right.... Sorry to disappoint you.... I'll continue...."
The god put the Yellow ball back in its place. Then take the green ball.
".... Well this is the last option.... It's a new world if you choose this.... You can continue your life in a different world.... Maybe you'll spend your time studying your new world..."
What did he mean was another world? I often hear it in novels and manga. Does such a world really exist?
"Here you understand, right?"
"Of course I understand!"
"Good... Time to choose these 3 choices. The Hereafter, the Old World, or the New World... Your choice cannot be changed. Remember that"
I have to think about it carefully. If I choose wrongly then only Regrets exist.
First, Hereafter...
That world was only filled with spirits who were completely calm and did not have any burden of thought. That place I guess doesn't suit me who still doesn't feel calm.
Second, my Old World...
As the gods said before... In the old world I will be born with a new identity. Whether it be humans, other animals, or plants. The chances of me meeting Hatsune-san are also really slim. Maybe I was born as a human being decades away. Or a plant that can't walk anywhere.
The last one, the other world....
All that was on my mind when he said otherworldly things was the wish of Hatsune-san that he always talked to me about.
That is the wish he was reborn into the fantasy world and became an adventurer. I might as well choose the same option as Hatsune-san.
I made up my mind and began to say my choice for the next life.
"All right.... I've decided!"
"Let me guess your choice must be Final-"
"Another world!"
"Eh?"
The Lord was surprised by the decision I made. Looks like he thinks I'm going to choose the Hereafter... I still have a lot of things I haven't done in your life.
"Another world.... What kind of world do you want? Like your old world?"
"No... I want a world like in the novels and manga I've read with Hatsune-san."
"It seems I've heard of it... What do you mean it's a Fantasy world?"
"Yes!"
"It's incredible.... It's...."
The face of the god became very happy. He even cried haru.
"....This is SO AWESOME!!!"
"are you okay?"
"Of course, I haven't been this happy in a long time. My work is not getting boring."
"Bored?"
"Maru, you need to know.... You are the first Animal Spirit to choose another World. Usually the animal spirit will choose the Hereafter. But you're different."
"Different?"
"Why did you unhesitatingly choose another world?"
"Actually, I want to become an adventurer in another world and defeat a demon lord Like in Novels and Manga."
"That's so.... Your reasons are just like teenagers. Alright.... Since that's your request, I'll send you to the world you want and I'll give you a gift."
"Gift? What's that...?"
"alright... You should be prepared to be sent"
"Eh? At least tell dong the gift"
"You'll know what the prize is... I'll start chanting.... Be prepared"
I began to sit quietly though still wondering what gift to give me. Meanwhile, the god began to cast a spell. The books are slowly Flying and Surrounding me. And my body started to glow and slowly lifted up.
"On behalf of All the Gods. I am Feirn, the God of Reincarnation. Will send you to the next life to a new world with the Cat Race human Being. And the thing I gave you is incredible magic power."
My body is getting higher... Until I reach the bright light. When I look down. The god smiled at me and said...
"Happy adventure.... Maru!!"
That was the last word he said before we parted. I entered the bright light. And....
...Xxp...
It's all dark...
Just sec.... HOW DARK?!
Did I fail to deliver?
I didn't hear anything...
Because I was scared I was crying all over. But my crying is quite different. It's like a human baby's cry....
"He was born!! She's female!!"
Someone was faintly shouting... I started to open my eyes and saw a woman with black hair and blue eyes and also a pair of cat ears on her head that were sitting limp on her bed. A happy face appeared on him. I slowly approached her. Looks like I'm in somebody's car.
"Congratulations... Your son is really healthy... You can carry him"
A woman gave me to that woman. I can look at her happy face. Looks like she's my mother.
"Welcome to this world, my son"
After he said that, he immediately kissed my forehead. His kiss really makes me happy.
Before long someone started coming.
"Have my son been born?"
"Yes, my husband. And she's really pretty"
A man started approaching us. And he began to look at me with the same expression.
A man with long white hair and blue eyes. He is also a human cat. Looks like he's my father.
But suddenly my father squeezed my cheek. He seems happy to do that.
But I'm not comfortable with that.
"Aaaahh.... Her cheeks are really chewy"
I was so upset that I bit his finger. Proof that I don't like him.
"*Ouch...! You don't like it, huh.... Your nature is like your mother's only"
"My husband..."
"Yes..."
"It's time...."
"true too... What will we give him by name?"
"What about Milia?"
"Milia yes.... What a name"
Milia yeah....
I think it's a good name....
I received that name....
Because I can't answer in any way. I can only laugh a little. And my parents also understand that I approve of it.
"It looks like he likes that name, my husband"
"Yes.... Milia, Welcome to Our Family"
And that was the beginning of my new life. As a human race Cat named Milia.
And the real adventurer will be Arriving soon!!
...Seriate.......
