Chapter 128.2: Shield of Cats
Well, I had naturally racked my brain to come up with another plan. I had made a promise to the cats. So, the moment I came across the ratmen and knew they were with the enemy, I concocted a plan.
I touched the ring on my finger.
This ring was paired with another ring worn by Kuna. It allowed us to detect each other’s position, and also served as a communication tool.
In short, it was kinda similar to a phone with GPS.
I brought Totona to a rather secluded place, away from Reiji and co. Just to be sure that they wouldn’t hear our conversation.
「Can you wait for a minute, Totona?」
That was what I told Totona after arriving at a secluded place.
「No, Kuroki. I really want to fulfill your request, but the current situation is a bit...」
Said Totona with a blushed face.
EH?!! WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT, TOTONA-SAN?!!
I retorted inside seeing her reaction.
「Err... I’m not going to ask you to do some sexy stuff...」
And then, I started explaining the details of my plan to Totona.
「I see, it’s annoying to think that I have to rely on that girl’s power, but we really have no other choice I guess.」
「Yes. Now let’s go back.」
When we got back, Nel and Harsesh were in the middle of a huge quarrel. It seems Reiji couldn’t think of a solution either.
「Stop right there, prince. I’ve come up with a good plan.」
Everyone’s line of sight instantly gathered on Totona.
「TOTONYAN!!!」
「AS EXPECTED OF YOU, TOTONA-CHAN!!」
「OOH, AS EXPECTED OF THE WISE AND BEAUTIFUL TOTONA!!」
「Huff. As expected of Totona-chan. Her title as the Goddess of Knowledge isn’t just for show.」
Nel, Ishtar, Harsesh, and Reiji sung praises to Totona.
「It’s still too soon to be optimistic but... But well, I need your help in this plan.」
Totona looked at the Nyanko fencers as she spoke.
「We’re willing to lend our hands to save our compatriots.」
D’Artagnyan, the leader of the Nyanko Fencers, who acts as Nel’s bodyguard as well, gave his salute.
「Thank you, D’Artagnyan. Then please come closer, you too Medjed.」
I nodded in silence.
I stepped forward a few seconds after D’Artagnyan.
Zafrada made a suspicious look on her face.
「What are you trying to do?」
I kept dancing forward, completely ignoring Zafrada.
Looking at their figures doing strange dances from the side turned out to be really fun.
Thus, I ended up enjoying the dance.
Zafrada seemed to be unable to give any orders since the situation was too bizarre.
After approaching the middle of the two forces.
「What kind of madness is this!! Stop or I’ll kill the hostages!!」
Zafrada snapped back when they arrived closer to the hostages.
「Fufu. As expected of Faeri’s daughter.」
Chiyuki and Ishtar praised Totona too.
It seems they were under the impression that it was Totona’s plan.
「You’re mi— Eh, what’s the matter Medjed?」
I tapped Totona’s shoulder just as she was about to fix Reiji and co’s misunderstanding.
I shook my head, telling her that there was no need to tell them.
Honestly it wasn’t worth it.
Since it was already as such, it might be better to let them regard this matter as Totona’s achievement.
「TOTONA! AS EXPECTED OF MY GODDESS OF KNOWLEDGE!! WE CRUSHED THEM THANKS TO YOUR PLAN!! NOW, LET ME HEAR ANOTHER ONE OF YOUR BRILLIANT PLANS!!」
Harsesh and Isdes came to us too after they crushed the army of the undead. They were under the impression that it was Totona’s plan too.
「Prince, my plan was nothing special. By the way, no one is coming out from the pyramid... We won’t know if there’s anyone in there unless we enter.」
Totona was right, aside from the ratmen, no one else came out from inside the pyramid.
Since the remaining hostages were held inside the pyramid, we had no choice but to enter it.
「I see, we have to enter huh. Isdes, let’s go!!」
Harsesh ordered so but Isdes shook his head.
「Please wait a minute!! It’s dangerous!! Harsesh-sama, you have to stay in this place! The same goes for Ishtar-sama and Nel-sama too!!」
Ishtar and Nel pouted hearing Isdes’ remark.
But, Isdes decided to ignore them.
「Well then, may I leave this matter to you guys?」
Isdes then looked at Reiji and Totona.
「No problem. I gave my promise to the Queen of Lions.」
「I understand, Isdes-dono. I’ll fulfill my promise.」
Reiji and Totona nodded together.
「Wait!! Isdes!! It’s dangerous!! Totona should remain here!!」
「Right meow!! It’s too dangerous for you, Totonyan!!」
Both Harsesh and Nel tried to prevent Totona from going into the pyramid.
「Don’t worry, Nel. I have a powerful friend coming with me.」
Totona caressed Nel’s cheek to reassure her.
「That’s right, prince. Just wait here like a good child and leave Totona-chan to me.」
Reiji puffed his chest, thinking that Totona was talking about him.
Harsesh looked really annoyed by Reiji’s attitude.
My gaze met with Totona’s.
And for some reason, I saw a tinge of pink on her cheeks.
