"Wear this," Lawrend passed a hooded cloak to Ane.
It ca from his Storage Ring, and it was the sa one he bought in the Undrasil Tail Town before.
"Where did you get this?" Ane asked Lawrend in surprise.
She didn't see him holding this before.
"Like this," Lawrend said to her and another hooded cloak appeared in his hand.
"Nyaa!?"
Ane stared at Lawrend's hand in disbelief.
"Here."
Lawrend passed it to Nuon. Nuon wore it over his clothes.
Then another hooded cloak appeared in Lawrend's hand, and he wore it himself.
"W-Where is it coming from?!" Ane asked Lawrend like a startled cat.
"This is a Storage Ring," Lawrend said to her as he lifted his hand and tapped the Storage Ring on his finger.
"Is that a magic artifact?" Ane asked Lawrend in amazent.
"You can call it that. Anyways, we should get going before it gets dark," Lawrend said to her.
Ane wore the hooded cloak after hearing his words. It covered her cute ears and tail.
Lawrend nodded his head in satisfaction after seeing her appearance. They shouldn't worry about her being recognized later once they arrived back at the town.
And so, Lawrend's group left the tribe. Many demihuman cats observed them from afar.
"Ane, you're leaving?" A catgirl stopped Ane and asked her.
"Yes. I'm going to see my little sister," Ane replied.
"Wow! You found your little sister?" The catgirl exclaid happily.
"I did," Ane replied with a nod of her head.
"Ane, hurry up," Lawrend called her.
"Yes! I have to go," Ane responded before bidding farewell to the catgirl that stopped her.
"Okay! See you, Ane!"
The catgirl waved her hand.
"Good luck on your journey, Ane!"
"Have a safe trip!"
The demihuman cats bid their farewell to her one by one.
"Thank you, everyone!" Ane turned around and shouted to them.
She then turned around and ran towards Lawrend and Nuon.
"They care for you, huh," Lawrend said to her after she arrived beside them.
"Yes. We are demihuman cats. We look out for each other," Ane replied to Lawrend.
anwhile, Nuon was eating at jerkies beside them.
"That's a good relationship," Lawrend nodded his head in approval.
"Also, how good are you with the bow?" Lawrend couldn't help but ask her.
She carried with her a bow and a rucksack full of her belongings.
"Hmmm… Good enough to kill an unsuspecting human easily," Ane replied to him.
"That's… Don't you have a better scale?" Lawrend asked her with a wry smile on his face.
"Then, I can kill an unsuspecting True Sword and True Mage from 50 ters away," Ane replied to him.
"Really? Is that the average strength of your tribe?" Lawrend asked her in disbelief.
"It is. Everyone grew up training using the bow by hunting animals at the surrounding forest," Ane nodded her head and explained to him.
"If your tribe is that strong, why did your tribe mbers still get caught?" Lawrend asked her curiously.
"The humans from the south are strong. Most of them are Army Swords and so are Hill Swords," Ane replied to Lawrend with a frown on her face.
"That strong?" Lawrend asked in disbelief.
An Army Sword is as strong as a High Mage while a Hill Sword is as strong as an Arch Mage. It doesn't make sense for Lawrend why such strong people would do sothing like that. He beca curious how much a demihuman cat would sell for.
"Yes. They catch a lot of us. If they are any weaker, they wouldn't even stand a chance against us," Ane replied to him.
"Wow," Lawrend murmured in amazent.
The trio walked through the Yttervia Forest. Once in a while, they would encounter groups of demihuman cats that would intercept them. They only let them go because Ane explained to them what was going on.
After a few hours, they ca to a stop in a shrubbery.
"You haven't eaten, right?" Lawrend asked Ane who sat beside him.
"I… Yes," Ane nodded her head in embarrassnt.
She didn't have the chance to eat earlier.
"Take this. It's at jerky," Lawrend said and passed a bag of at jerky to her.
"Okay. I never tasted this before."
Ane took it and opened the bag. She picked one at jerky and examined it against the light of the sun.
"It's beef at," Lawrend said to her.
Ane took a bite and chewed it.
"Nyaa! It's delicious!" Ane exclaid with her eyes shining in amazent.
"You like it?" Lawrend asked her.
"I do," Ane nodded her head vehently.
"Here, Ane. You can take mine," Nuon said to her from the side.
There was a fawning smile on his face.
"Huh..?"
Ane took Nuon's bag of at jerky in puzzlent. She looked inside and saw that it was almost empty.
"You have to eat a lot to grow big," Nuon said to her.
His eyes slowly went down and stared at her flat chest.
"Pervert!" Ane shouted in disgust.
She threw the almost empty bag of at jerky back to Nuon.
"I- That's not what I ant!" Nuon hurriedly explained to her.
"Hmph. Don't talk to ," Ane harrumphed in displeasure.
She knew that she had a flat chest but for him to give her food and imply that she needs it to grow big only made her furious.
Nuon's mouth was left wide open seeing her reaction to him. He was frozen and couldn't open his mouth to explain himself to her. She easily saw through his thoughts.
The trio ate their lunch together before they stood up and continued on their journey.
After several more hours, the sky darkened and night ca.
"The two of you are good at this," Ane comnted in surprise.
She saw how they made three small shelters made out of wood and leaves.
"Lawrend taught this," Nuon replied to her humbly.
"It's nothing special," Lawrend shrugged.
"Wow! The more I know about you, the more amazing you seem, Lawrend," Ane said to him in disbelief.
"I just know more than normal," Lawrend replied to her.
KIEEEEEE
Suddenly, a loud screech sounded from the sky.
