Mesugaki Tank Enters The Academy

“Hah. So. Ugh. What’s going on?”

After barely escaping the giant’s footsteps, I set the cat down and explained the situation to Joy, who was breathing heavily.

“The giant who was managing the garden pulled out a sword as soon as he heard a cat sound?”

“Yeah! He looked like he was actually going to kill me, it was that scary!?”

The murderous intent of the giant, approaching with thudding footsteps, was real. I had wandered through countless battlefields. I wouldn’t mistake real malice for anything else.

“…If what Lucy says is true, it looks like this cat is the one ruining the garden, huh?”

“Is the cat really that much of a troublemaker?”

“Well, if we were on a farm, maybe, but I doubt that would be the case in a garden.”

“Right?”

People often talk about how cats have strange personalities, but it’s not like they immediately flip out and attack when they hear a sound.

At least this one is cute! It has the kind of appearance that you could forgive for being a nuisance!

<No matter how cute, there are limits. You’ve been a great example of that in the past.>

“Even so, if it looks cute, hesitation starts to creep in.”

Appearance generally has a bigger impact than people think.

If a weird-looking bug approaches, most people would scream and run away, but if a cute animal comes near, they would smile brightly and extend their hand.@@novelbin@@

• No, it’s not.

• They’re the ones making peace between the flowers, not harming them.

• That cat is kind of like a fairy, too.

• It wants you to follow it. There’s a cat you must meet, Lucy.

• That’s what it says.

• It’s happy to do that.

• It’s asking if it really has to.

• It says to forgive it for what it said earlier.
