By the ti Sherwin and the others rushed to the pier, the surrounding chains had been removed, and the Marines and CP agents who had previously boarded the ship were nowhere to be seen on the deck.
"Sherwin ow~"
(=`=)
"Sherwin ow~"
(=`=)
Two adorable Felynes who looked about seventy to eighty percent alike lunged into Sherwin arms from the left and right. After nuzzling him with their small heads for a while, Dodo Advance spoke up.
"Just now, people from the World Governnt tried to take away, but they were repelled by the guards left behind by Big Sister Klee and Big Sister Purah ow!"
After rubbing against Sherwin cheek, Dodo Advance climbed back onto her "special seat" using both her paws and feet.
Klee ow did the sa on the other side, climbing onto Sherwin shoulder with practiced ease and beginning to fiddle with his ear.
"Sorry, I was careless."
Even though Dodo Advance hadn’t suffered any harm and had instead driven the enemies away, Sherwin still patted her small head with so lingering fear.
The World Governnt had focused their main forces on dealing with them if they had spared a few more people, Dodo Advance situation might not have been so certain.
In the future, no matter what, he really had to leave a few Felynes behind to guard the ship. He couldn’t beco complacent just because Dodo Advance had a ship spirit, fla summons, and Guardians.
Sherwin silently reminded himself.
"Ehehe~ It okay, I’m not afraid of them ow!"
Dodo Advance narrowed her eyes, gently rubbing against Sherwin palm.
Not only was she unhard aside from the initial fright, but even if sothing had actually happened, she would never have blad Sherwin.
"We can’t stay here long. Let leave first, and you can tell exactly what happened along the way."
After comforting Dodo Advance for a while, Sherwin asked her to leave the area while inquiring about the details.
As for Tesoro side, he was in no hurry to contact him, and even if he needed to, he could just use a Transponder Snail.
"Dodo Advance! Transform and set off ow!"
(=＞＜=)
Having received the order, the little one quickly switched her main body to the Paolumu form and rose steadily into the air.
At the sa ti, Dodo Advance began to tell Sherwin everything that had happened on the ship just now.
"...Then Big Sister Klee blew up the wall, and those people saw things were going badly and started jumping ship to retreat. I tried to use electric shocks to coordinate with Gin and keep them there, but I didn’t succeed ow."
(=`3=)
Dodo Advance pouted her mouth unhappily and kept tugging at Sherwin hair with her small paws.
"And, I also saw those submarines I shocked into sinking earlier had recovered, but unfortunately they were hiding too far away and I couldn’t shock them anymore ow."
"Hmm? Then shouldn’t you have turned into Ceadeus to chase them?"
Sherwin caught Dodo Advance restless little paws and asked while squeezing her paw pads.
Given that this little one was just as "naughty" as Klee ow, it shouldn’t have been possible for her to let that group of attackers off so easily.
[The water is all yellow, I don’t like it ow.]
(=益)
Dodo Advance showed a look of great disgust.
[It looks like a giant pool of pee-pee. If Brother Sherwin and the others didn’t want to stay here, I would have run away long ago ow!]
"Ah... well..."
Sherwin was speechless. He really hadn’t expected such a reason, though it did fit Dodo Advance personality.
Moreover, if he hadn’t put on sunglasses, Sherwin himself wouldn’t be able to stand the ubiquitous "luxury gold" of Gran Tesoro.
After understanding the situation on Dodo Advance end, Sherwin finally pulled out the Hunter Handbook.
This "ambush" had resulted in the acquisition of Saint Sester Great Hamr, in addition to Saint Bertrand Saber which he had eyed from the beginning.
Weapons used by the Holy Knights shouldn’t be naless, right?
With such expectations, Sherwin flipped the handbook to the weapon encyclopedia page.
The result...
The expected glow did not appear.
Two new entries had indeed been added to the weapon encyclopedia page—
The forr Great Grade Blade, "Hydra," and a four-hundred-year-old antique war hamr, "Ibuki."
It wasn’t that these two weapons were poor in quality, but rather that they had been kept in the collection of the Celestial Dragons for so long that the outside world assud they were lost.
Consequently, "Hydra" had been removed from the "Famous Blade Registry" years ago, and the non-blade "Ibuki" was barely rembered by anyone.
Sherwin wasn’t sure if such "antique-tier" weapons could grant him a Summoning Voucher, but even if they could, based on the experience he had gathered over the years, weapons with absolutely no "plot weight" wouldn’t accumulate much progress.
Of course, there was another possibility...
As Sherwin put away the Hunter Handbook, he turned his gaze toward Touma ow, who was currently massaging his suddenly cramped tail.
"W-what is it ow? D-don’t tell Mr. Kamijo is about to be unlucky again ow?"
∑(=⊙Д⊙=)
The little cow-cat asked in alarm, sensing Sherwin gaze.
"Ahem, no, no, I was just a bit curious. After all, this is the first ti I’ve seen a cat tail cramp up."
This unlucky cat was already pitiful enough it was better not to pin the bla on him.
The Hunter had a rare mont of kindness, answering while stroking Touma ow head.
The little cow-cat rolled his eyes speechlessly. Although it was the first ti Sherwin had seen it, it didn’t an it was the first ti Touma ow tail had cramped.
He had experienced it countless tis before being summoned, which was why he was so skilled at the massage.
Just as Touma ow was about to say sothing, Klee ow, perched on Sherwin shoulder, suddenly spoke up.
"That right, it Klee first ti seeing it too ow! Brother Touma is so amazing!"
The little ragdoll eyes sparkled as she stared at Touma ow tail, continuing to mutter, "It a pity that Klee didn’t get to see it when Touma tail first started cramping, ow."
Sherwin: "..."
"Awooooo—! It cramping again!"
(=QДQ=)
Sure enough, just as Klee ow finished speaking, Touma ow tail, which had mostly recovered, suddenly froze again in a strange way.
The little cow cat, who had been massaging his own tail, subconsciously extended his claws and stabbed them fiercely into his tail...
"Awoooo—! It bleeding, ow! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts... Such misfortune, ow!!!"
Touma ow wailed while clutching his battered tail, rolling around on the deck.
"...In the future, think a bit more before chatting with your brother Touma don’t just say whatever cos to mind."
Sherwin helplessly advised Klee ow, then scooped up the still-rolling and screaming Touma ow, taking out a bottle of Angel dicine and pouring it down his throat.
Thanks to Touma ow having previously tested the waters for Sherwin, Haibara ow no longer used the substitution dicine trick. So, after the bottle of dicine went down, Touma ow recovered imdiately.
"I’m sorry, brother Touma, Klee didn’t an it, ow..."
(=＜=)
The little ragdoll stuck out her tongue and apologized to the recovered Touma ow.
"It... it okay, ow. Anyway, Kamijou-san is already used to it, ow..."
(=°ー°=)
Touma ow lay back in Sherwin arms, answering with a face full of despair.
Fortunately, a cow cat is still a cow cat. Even before Sherwin could use his Kato Cat hand, Touma ow, who had been in an emo state, quickly recovered.
He then ran off full of energy to find Seijuro ow to train, wanting to master Armant Haki as soon as possible to reduce his chances of getting injured.
Well, naturally, he tripped and fell once along the way.
"Puru puru puru..."
Just as Touma ow left and Klee ow began pestering Sherwin to tell her a story, the Research Commission main News Bird Den Den Mushi suddenly started ringing.
At this ti, Tesoro was either busy pleasing Saint sest or handling the aftermath of the recent attack, so there likely wasn’t anyone else who would be calling...
Sure enough, when the call connected, Morgan familiar and excited cheer ca through—
"Wahahahaha! Sherwin, you really are my lucky star! How long has it been? You’ve actually caused another piece of big news!"
Sherwin: "..."
