Miss Witch's Cat

Chapter 16 Sword Master (Kagura Gintoki’s reward plus 1 update)

After returning home, Miss Witch actively and diligently completed her double duty of outdoor sports.

According to Li Wei's design, a single serving of outdoor sports should be just right for Miss Witch.

Sure enough, after the double exercise, Miss Witch felt a little exhausted, and in the end she almost crawled to the bathroom.

Hearing that Miss Witch wanted to exercise, the experienced old housekeeper directly asked the maid to prepare a magic medicinal bath for Miss Witch to relieve muscle soreness and strengthen her body.

After Maomao watched, he found that the effect of this medicinal bath was indeed amazing.

Because, the witch lady who crawled in actually came out standing!
The medicinal bath and Shadow Witch's talent... are so terrifying.

Maomao silently used magic to secretly monitor various values ​​​​on Miss Witch's body, but she believed that all exercises were done in a healthy and reasonable manner.

Miss Witch finished her dinner under the almost tearful gaze of the old housekeeper.

because,

This may be the first time he has seen such an optimistic Miss Witch who is willing to eat and drink during his many years in office.

[Daily Task [-]: Three meals a day, completed]

Looking at the message reminder that popped up in her growth guardian system, Miss Witch put down the digestion-aiding yogurt she was holding in her hand with great satisfaction.

"Grandpa Lin, starting from tomorrow, I will go to the yard for morning exercises.

The time should be about the same as today, about an hour. Please prepare breakfast and medicinal bath in advance.

Also, I will need a private room later.

A spacious room that is airy but preferably without glass.

It requires some training equipment and weapons used by melee professions. "

"it is good!"

The old housekeeper didn't make any inquiries, but just wrote down Miss Witch's request, then turned and left.

But the cats who have been watching are not as calm as the witch lady who gives the orders and the housekeeper who receives the orders.

The reason is that he just looked at the butler's personal panel.

cat cat shocked jpg.

So every ordinary old housekeeper is destined to have a glorious past, right? !

Level 127 sword master!
If it weren't for the curse, how desperate would he be? !
Judging from Miss Witch's memory, the old sword master started working at his house when she was three or four years old.

Level 15 127 years ago!

It’s only the 32nd year since the magic power was revived!

What kind of genius is this!
But the colorless king...

His title is the Black King...

This also uses color as a title, which makes Maomao start to doubt the relationship between them.

He should read more.

Learn more about the world.

At this moment, Mao Mao made up his mind to work hard.

because……

Why can that king have such amazing skills? He is just a broken cat? !

……

but……

After checking the butler's personal panel, Maomao couldn't help but think.

Can you ask him to be Miss Witch's melee combat instructor?

Judging from Maomao's half-baked experience in fantasy novels in his previous life, martial arts encompasses everything, and long and short swords are both swords. The so-called use of weapons should have the same goal in different ways in terms of basic exercises.

It would be a good choice to let him, as a sword master, guide Miss Witch and lay a solid foundation for her.

……

Thinking so, Maomao glanced at Miss Witch who was leaning on the sofa, drinking yogurt and reading a book, and silently followed in the direction the old housekeeper was walking.

There were very few people in the mansion, so lights were not turned on unless necessary.

Cat, the shadow lurking in the corridor, followed the old housekeeper all the way to the underground warehouse.

After pushing open the door of the warehouse, the old housekeeper suddenly turned back, looked at the shadow at the corner and said:

"Cat, you follow me, what's the matter?"

Sighing secretly, Maomao was indeed a strong man and did not continue to hide. He walked out of the shadow and stood in front of the old housekeeper.

"Hello, Sword Master Lindo."

Maomao spoke and greeted the old housekeeper politely.

The moment he heard Maomao calling out his title, the aura around the old housekeeper suddenly changed, and a sharp gust of wind carried a deadly sword energy and was instantly placed on Maomao's neck.

"You, who is it?"

The old butler changed his previous gentle attitude, and stared fiercely at the black cat in front of him.

"An ordinary little kitten who came to say hello."

Maomao's response made the old housekeeper frown even deeper.

He knew that this was a cat summoned by Bai Yan and signed a contract.

If you kill him rashly, you may face a very embarrassing situation.

How should he explain this to Bai Yan.

He didn't want to lie to the poor child he had watched grow up, but... the origin and purpose of this cat made people wary.

There are many people who know about the Sword Master, but the number of people who know that he is the Sword Master can be counted on one hand.

And in his perception, this black cat's aura was comparable to that of the despicable and powerful demon king who sneaked up on him back then.

If he has malicious intentions...

Sensing the gradually dangerous aura coming from the old butler, Maomao realized that there might be something wrong with his greeting.

The housekeeper did not realize his friendliness and harmlessness, but instead imagined him as something terrifying.

Oops.

Maji's teeth are white.

But when the old Juggernaut was almost about to evolve into a Super Saiyan, Mao Mao felt that it was urgent to explain his harmlessness, which was of no avail.

So, he sighed, and simply gave up explaining what he was, and told the butler his purpose.

"I came to you to make a deal with you."

"Deal? I never make deals with people whose origins are unknown."

The implication of the old housekeeper is that he hopes Maomao will remove his disguise and reveal his identity to show his sincerity.

"..."

So, this has not passed yet!Stubborn old man! !
what is he !

I am the legendary Demon King!Title the Black King!
That's right, it sounds like a suspicious person from the same group as the Colorless King who cursed you!

By the way!My race is cat!The most ordinary cat!
Currently lv1!But the MP is 233333333!

For a moment, Maomao, who gave up on himself, even wanted to shout out the complaints in his heart.

He also wants to know who he is!hateful!

(〃>dish<)!

But Maomao, who was occupied by reason, would naturally not say such words that were tantamount to self-destruction. He could only sigh and continue to be a riddle cat.
"It doesn't matter what I am, what's important is that now, I'm just an ordinary black cat.

Moreover, it was a cat who had formed a symbiotic contract with her. "

Maomao emphasized the words 'symbiosis contract', fearing that the old swordsman might miss something due to his frailty and old age, so he would directly strike him with Excalibur.

When he heard the four words of the symbiosis contract and saw the contract circle that Maomao immediately revealed, the old swordsman was obviously shocked, and then slowly put away the murderous aura emanating from behind.

Bai Yan is her own child, and the suspicious cat is her child's symbiotic contract summoned beast, so the crisis is over.

Seeing that the sword master finally put away his murderous aura and returned to his usual gentle and handsome appearance, Maomao thought that he should be able to communicate well now.

Sure enough, before Maomao could speak, the old sword master asked in a cooperative manner:

"What did you want to say when you came to me?
As a partner in a symbiotic contract, you should not hide anything from her. "

Although Maomao removed the 'suspicious' label, the old housekeeper was still dissatisfied with his actions.

"This... you misunderstood.

I... I just didn't find a suitable opportunity to briefly meow with her. "

...?
"When I was first summoned, there was a language communication barrier between me and humans, but when I researched and understood... ah, that was last night, when she was having trouble filling out the school's application form.

You must have seen the way she looked about to cry when she went to school this morning.

And when making a contract... it's even more inappropriate.

A symbiosis contract...

It would be a lot better to be seen by a cat that couldn't understand human speech and couldn't speak, right?

Then... at night, she began to train herself obsessively, and even became embarrassed frequently.

If she knew at this time that I was not only able to speak, but also extremely smart, then my lovely demon... Miss Bai would probably be reincarnated immediately and start her second life as an ostrich. "

Σ(⊙▽⊙"a...

Although it was a generalization, Maomao's overly vivid metaphor still caused a rare violent mood swing on the old housekeeper's face.really.

Miss Bai Yan is indeed very introverted and doesn't like to talk. She has a high bottom line and extremely low tolerance.

After all these life-threatening things, if she knew that the cat accompanying her could not only talk, but was also a spirit, then...

Bai Yan's ashen-hearted appearance had already appeared in Lin Du's mind.

"Your...consideration is indeed right."

Lin Du nodded and thought to himself: Although this is an unruly cat, it treats Miss Bai Yan very carefully.

Recalling the comparison between Bai Yan's appearance this morning and that evening, Lin Du couldn't help but sigh, Bai Yan had really changed a lot.And this kind of positive change should begin after completing the contract with this strange cat.

so……

Lin Du's thoughts began to wander for a while.

The talent shared by this black coal ball of unknown origin to Bai Yan should be so powerful that she, who has always had low self-esteem and self-isolation, had to choose to be active and change herself.

In a sense, this black cat of unknown origin and tentative species should be regarded as Bai Yan's benefactor.

At this time, an equation appeared in Lin Du's mind.

His life was saved by Bai Yan's mother.

After the old master passed away, his responsibility naturally became to protect the young Bai Yan from growing up.

But growing up 'guarded' is still far behind compared to real relatives.

He didn't know how to teach children, let alone how to help these young, fragile, and mutated children.

He can only do the lowest line of work - ensuring Bai Yan's life safety.

As a housekeeper and the child's only support, what he gave Bai Yan might not be as good as this strange little cat in front of her.

It can be concluded that

Bai Yan + black monster > Bai Yan + Lin Du;

Lin Du did not take good care of Bai Yan = Lin Du was ashamed of his old master = Lin Du was not a qualified good housekeeper

And = in Bai Yan’s heart, this black cat is more important!He is no longer Bai Yan’s closest good grandfather!
(ΩДΩ)! !
lost!

Completely defeated!

Absolutely defeated!
The stubborn old Juggernaut felt a deep sense of frustration in this matter.

With such a heavy heart, the old sword master's tone became much fiercer when he responded to Maomao's words.
"What do you want to talk about? If it's just related to her, I don't need to trade anything with you."

After all, I am his grandfather!
I help my granddaughter, isn’t it the right thing to do? !

Although Maomao doesn't know why the old sword master suddenly became fierce again, he will not give in when facing the 'bottom line'.

"No, we need to."

"I need to make sure you keep all your secrets."

Even though the old housekeeper seems to have a deep connection with Miss Witch's mother, there are still many things and steps that should be taken precautions against.

"Secret? Whose?"

Seeing Black Cat's serious attitude, the old sword master suddenly became curious.

What could have happened that made this strange black fur ball want to come to him even if his identity was exposed?

“Hers and mine.

So, we need solid contracts. "

Even Miss Bai Yan has a share?

Although Lin Du considered himself a tight-lipped person, and the suspicion about Maomao made him very unhappy and even wanted to leave, but after all, it was about Bai Yan, so he agreed.

"no problem."

"it is good."

Maomao doesn't know if there is any magic to detect lies and maintain promises in this world, but he understands the 'contract' before the magic of this world is revived.

Although the so-called 'contract' was a toy for rich and powerful people in the past, now, under the premise of being bound by magic, swearing in the name of the so-called gods and confirming the punishment for breach of contract acceptable to both parties, between the gods and The contract signed under the witness of the elves of order cannot be reversed or denied in this already fantastic world.

Unless, one day, a dishonest, scoundrel, and bug-loving black cat becomes the supreme god.

……

The old sword master was shocked by the new magic displayed by the cat, but looking at the familiar balance of order and the looming brilliance in the golden light, he signed a confidentiality agreement with the black cat.

From now on, what Maomao Xiaohei and Sword Master Lindu said must not be revealed to any living thing before getting Xiaohei's permission.

After the conversation, regardless of whether Lin Du accepts Maomao Xiaohei's request, he must abide by the content of the confidentiality agreement.

As a former mobile employee of the company, Maomao's understanding of word games is limited to this.

Fortunately, the old sword master is not good at this aspect, so he relies on his keen sense of smell.

"I hope you can use all your wisdom and experience to teach Bai Yan how to fight."

"Although Miss Bai Yan's talent in magic is indeed beyond praise, but..."

Don't give up on rescuing her just like that!
Although his granddaughter is very poor, she works very hard!

"No, no, I can help her with the magic side."

Maomao hurriedly interrupted the old sword master to prevent him from uncontrollably saying something that would make Miss Witch cry out loud.

"I want to say that aside from her poor physique, her talent for the physics profession is simply ridiculous."

Juggernaut:?
Although he is just a housekeeper, he still knows some little secrets.

For example, Miss Bai Yan's father is a great magician who is still in the top echelon. Another example is that Miss Bai Yan's mother has a special bloodline. Her blood seems to be used as a magic material, so she is kept in captivity.

So, to sum up, you black fool, do you want to listen to what you just said!
cat:  …

Even if Mao Mao couldn't read minds, he knew that the old man didn't whisper good things about him in his heart.

But his big cat doesn't remember the villain's mistakes, and continued to explain to the old man:
"Because of some...unfortunate experiences, she perfectly inherited her mother's lineage.

perfect. "

Maomao emphasized his adjective,

"She is now a pure-blood shadow witch."

Shadow Witch!
pure blood!

Before he, Lin Du, was called the Sword Master and before his magic power was revived, he was an ordinary person born in an ancient martial arts family. He was watched by his elders and relatives practicing martial arts every day.

Among them, his talent in swordsmanship is the most outstanding.

After the recovery of his magic power, he relied on his solid skills, day-after-day persistence and hard work to quickly join the forefront of the world.

To be honest, he had never envied anything in his life except the love between a couple of gods and immortals.

For him, martial arts and swordsmanship are the realization of hard work over time.

but……

When he learned that there was a "Shadow Witch" in this world who was favored by God...

He was somewhat shaken.

Witch!
Why don't you just concentrate on studying magic?

Do you find it interesting to convert magic talents into martial arts talents?

After meeting a warrior who luckily combined part of Shadow Witch's bloodline and talents, Lin Du was really sad.

It turns out that God is really shameless when he teases people!

Although, in his duel with that damn lucky guy, he finally won a comprehensive crushing victory.

(`へ*)ノ

But now, when he heard that Bai Yan, whom he regarded as his own granddaughter, had the talent of a pure-blooded shadow witch, he felt unprecedentedly excited.

What kind of magic do you want to learn?
What a broken mage!

I remember when he could ride a thousand horses, and the first one he killed was the magician!

"So I hope you can use all your abilities as a Juggernaut to help her and help her lay a solid foundation.

I only know magic. As a layman, I can only make simple plans for her, but I cannot actually help her become a truly strong person.

She needs you and an excellent teacher like you as her guide. "

Maomao expressed her request very frankly.

Of course, this frankness is also based on the fact that the current Sword Master is a declining Sword Master.

He was seriously injured, and the pressure he could put on himself was no more than ten Liu Ge teachers.

"Of course, you don't need to tell the truth about your identity, as always.

What needs to be kept confidential, of course, is our negotiations and everything about me. "

"I understand."

The old Juggernaut nodded.

He didn't mean to refuse, which means he agreed.

As a person who is about to die, he can recruit a talented disciple before he dies.

Who can refuse such conditions?
Just when the old sword master was thinking about how to write his lifelong secret knowledge into a book in simple and easy-to-understand words, in order to leave a memory for his granddaughter and eldest disciple Bai Yan after his death, he just listened to Maomao suddenly said,
"Because this is a transaction, so... I will also reward you.

Every month before she leaves here, I can give you a healing spell above level [-]. "

?

The old sword master was stunned again.

Fifteen?
Does it mean...the fifteenth level?

Is that what he meant?

Magic above level [-] is also called forbidden spell.

He had never heard of any magician who could say so lightly, "I can put a forbidden spell on you every month."

If it is so easy to release the healing forbidden spells above the fifteenth level, and the conditions for magicians to release the forbidden spells are not so harsh, as a sword master who has reached the top 15 years ago, how can he be so depressed that he needs to be rescued? After working as a housekeeper for 15 years, doing nothing and doing nothing but watching myself die bit by bit in frustration? !
The balance, which symbolized order, justice, and integrity, remained unmoved, and the golden light still shone between him and the black beast. Even Lin Du, who had already developed a stable mentality, was also overcome by excitement at this time. The voice was slightly trembling,

"By level fifteen or above, do you mean magic above level fifteen?"

"Huh? Yes."

Maomao, who still had a wrong understanding of the combat power system of this world, looked at the old sword master who was suddenly stunned, tilted his head and asked in confusion:
"What's wrong, aren't you cursed?

Isn't it only effective for healing magic above the fifteenth level? "

"That's right, that's right."

“Ang~ That’s right.

But having said that, I just let it go, regardless of 100% effect.

After all, I have never solved the curse of the Colorless King for others. "

Maomao threw a few more bombs in an understatement, and took away the old sword master who was already in a state of residual health.

Lin Du looked at Maomao's understatement, and then looked at the 'no lying contract' that was still in effect. He silently cut his finger and swore the oath with blood.

In this way, without Miss Witch's knowledge, she had an old martial arts teacher who was full of passion, experienced and also very capable of brainstorming, who wanted to be her grandfather.
