"No! Please, spare ! I don't know what he said to you, but I'm certainly not a part of it!" Logan shouted to the Tribe Chief desperately.
He doesn't want to die here. He still wants to court that girl he had set his eyes on. His future was still bright. There's no way he's gonna let it all end here.
"Logan!" Nuon called out to him angrily.
He can't believe that he was so shaless. They helped him escape the prison and this was his response? Not even an ounce of gratitude?
"I don't know why you're still not seeing reality, Nuon. We will die here if we don't do sothing," Logan replied to Nuon with a serious look in his eyes.
"Human, even if you plead to , I won't let you go," The Tribe Chief said to Logan calmly.
"No way…"
Logan dropped to his knees weakly. His eyes had fallen into the depths of despair.
"I had enough!" Lawrend shouted.
His eyes started glowing blue and small arcs of lightning appeared all over his body. His hair rose and ford spikes on his head.
"Lawrend…" Nuon stared at Lawrend in disbelief.
This was his first ti seeing Lawrend like this. Even when he fought the Forest Wolves last ti, he didn't react this crazily.
"Hm?" The Tribe Chief raised an eyebrow seeing Lawrend's appearance.
"No need to chant… I will end this quickly with my imagination," Lawrend murmured calmly.
His eyes rested on Logan's body.
"L-Lawrend! Don't you dare! You will not pass this special mission if I die! Everything will all be for naught!" Logan shouted to him in terror.
"Reverse Lightning!" Lawrend ignored him and shouted.
BOOM!
A thick arc of lightning appeared from the ground and crawled throughout Logan's body before discharging onto the sky. It created a large lightning tree. Of course, Logan's body couldn't take it. His blood and body vaporized into a fine mist.
"H-He did it…" Nuon stared at the scene in shock.
Even the Tribe Chief couldn't believe his eyes seeing Lawrend kill Logan.
"Hahh… Hahh… Hahh…" Lawrend panted heavily.
This was his first ti killing soone of his own will. For so reason, it felt good. The satisfaction of removing a pest or an itch that has been bothering him for days.
"Hmph. Your action will not change anything. The two of you will still be sentenced to the punishnt," The Tribe Chief said to him with a frown.
"Before that, can you look at this?"
Lawrend pulled sothing out from his pocket and showed it to the Tribe Chief.
"T-That is-!" The Tribe Chief exclaid in shock as he stared at the small wooden sculpture of a fish in Lawrend's palm.
"I got his from a little catgirl nad Feli Lana," Lawrend said to them.
"Don't tell …"
The Tribe Chief's face fell. He couldn't help but imagine the worst outco.
"She currently lives together with back at the capital of the Undrasil Kingdom. I have been taking care of her together with my maids," Lawrend continued.
"Phew…" The Tribe Chief released a sigh of relief.
He almost had a heart attack from the way Lawrend phrased it.
"I heard that she has an Elder Sister nad Ane Lana. I want to et her," Lawrend said to the Tribe Chief.
"Did you bring Feli with you?" The Tribe Chief asked.
"I didn't. I figured that it will be hard a journey to make. I would only endanger her," Lawrend replied to the Tribe Chief with a shake of his head.
"I understand. Follow ," The Tribe Chief said to him with a nod of his head.
"Okay," Lawrend nodded his head and followed.
He motioned for Nuon to follow him with a wave of his hand.
Nuon nodded his head and followed. He couldn't help but look at the spot where Logan died with a grim look on his face. He couldn't believe that soone could die so fast without even leaving a corpse.
"Luen! Clean up the ss," The Tribe Chief said to Luen with a glance.
"Yes, Chief!" Luen saluted with a bow.
"Lawrend, are we safe?" Nuon asked him worriedly.
"I don't know, but I hope we are," Lawrend replied to him.
"The two of you don't have to worry. If you can prove to Ane that Feli is indeed alive and well, then I will let the two of you go. As for the good service, I can part with a bottle of sap from the Sacred Spirit Tree. We have a lot anyways," The Tribe Chief said to them.
"Really!? Then, why aren't you selling it? It would be a big business opportunity," Lawrend asked the Tribe Chief with excitent.
"We are already self-sufficient. We don't need to sell anything we own," The Tribe Chief explained to Lawrend.
"I see…" Lawrend nodded his head in understanding.
Since they do not need to sell it, there was no motivation to do it. Basic economics.
"Then why were you angry that we were getting so?" Lawrend asked him with confusion on his face.
"There's no way the three of you would have been able to get into our stock of sap. That could only an that you will damage our Sacred Spirit Tree. For us of the Yttervia Demihuman Cat Tribe, protecting the Sacred Spirit Tree is a priority above even our own lives," The Tribe Chief explained to him as they walked through the forest.
"I understand," Lawrend replied.
He and Nuon finally understood. In the first place, if they were polite enough or through proper connections, they would have been able to get a bottle of sap fairly easily. For example, if he told Grape about it, she would have been able to help him buy so from the tribe.
Before long, they arrived in a settlent.
There were thatched houses all around, and it ford a village.
"This is the tribe?" Lawrend asked in amazent.
He could see many demihuman cats. There were catgirls and catmans alike. Lawrend had the urge to rub the ears of the catgirls.
Finally, his dream of having a catgirl maid was almost complete.
