Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

"here it is……?"

Senxi was lying on the ground vomiting due to teleportation, while the others were observing the surroundings with confusion.

"Is that castle in the distance the Golden City?"

Laos' tone was a little uncertain. Upon hearing this, Faline tilted her head slightly and said:

"The maze we explored? It does look similar, but shouldn't it be buried underground?"

Maluciel guessed:

"The sky and sunlight also exist on the second underground floor. This may be a similar magic."

"——I said, what's going on with this guy?"

At this time, Chilchak's speech attracted their attention. Following his gaze, they saw a familiar stranger lying beside them.

"She is one of Mr. Julang's entourage, Miss Ma Zuimu, who was announced to have defected, right?"

Matthew was a little surprised and then said:

"I just saw her suddenly appear and capture Miss Malucile. Maybe that's why she was teleported here together with us."

"That's how it should be."

Maluciel nodded in agreement, and then said with some doubts:

"But why did she rush out at that time? We don't know each other very well, right?"

Everyone shook their heads. I am afraid that only the other party can answer this question.

At this moment, the other party seemed to wake up from his coma and stood up from the ground unsteadily.

Everyone looked at each other with some vigilance, but after the other party looked at them, they just tilted their heads in confusion, and then the next moment, Lu Ran rushed towards Malucile!

"babble--?!"

Malucile was startled, but Fujimaru Ritsuka quickly discovered that the other party's actions did not seem to have any hostility, so she did not stop him immediately.

Sure enough, after Ma Zuimu pounced on Malucile, he hugged her arm tightly, as if he had grasped something important, and even subconsciously rubbed his head against her.

At the same time, the hood worn by the other party was accidentally lifted due to her movements, and the appearance revealed to everyone made them stunned for a moment.

"Beast ears...?"

The other party is a young girl with short black hair, but compared to the other party's appearance, the animal ears gently shaking on the top of her head are undoubtedly more concerning.

Not only that, Maluciel soon noticed that in addition to the ears, the other party also had a furry tail growing behind him.

"That's cat ears?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was a little confused and said:

"But I remember that there shouldn't be a category of cat people among [humans], right?"

Malucile tried to pull her arm out of the other person's arms, but this move made the other person hug her tighter, so she had no choice but to give up, not understanding why the other person was pestering her so much.

However, after hearing Fujimaru Ritsuka's question, she still explained:

"I think she should be an [artificial orc]."

The only common subhuman races are orcs and kobolds. Apart from these, other types of orcs are all artificial orcs created using ancient magic.

By the way, although the technology to create artificial orcs is also considered black magic, many people are keen on actively turning themselves into artificial orcs, either in pursuit of greater power or out of simple preference.

Therefore, this phenomenon has been banned repeatedly in the underground world, and has even been divided into several schools, including werewolves, bearmen, tigermen, even ratmen, etc...

However, this is still a very dangerous magic. In addition to the above popular schools that can provide relatively stable technologies, there are also many cruel black magicians who use innocent people to conduct experiments and try to turn them into various forms. Artificial Orcs.

"A rare type like Cat Man probably belongs to the latter..."

Speaking of this, Maluciel touched the other person's hair with some distress. At the same time, Chilchak said thoughtfully:

"If that's the case, then I might guess why the other party is pestering you so much."

"Hey, why?"

"She may have overheard the conversation between Leos and Julang, and learned that you can hack... ancient magic, so she wants to find you to solve her problems, right?" At that time, she stood waiting outside the room separated by the wall. With the cat people's keen hearing, it shouldn't be difficult to eavesdrop on the conversation.

"It's indeed possible."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and Maluciel was a little embarrassed when she heard this:

"But I haven't studied ancient magic in this direction, so I'm afraid I can't be of much help."

But speaking of it...

She couldn't help but take a look at Falin. Falin now might also belong to a very special kind of artificial orc.

On the other side, Senxi, who had almost recovered, looked at the other party and said:

"So what should we do now? She seems to be in a strange state."

Indeed, the other party's current behavior is more like a cat than an orc. He licks his hands from time to time, looks at the surrounding environment curiously, and seems to be unable to communicate.

"It seems that we can only take the other party with us first, we can't just leave it alone, right?"

As Fujimaru Ritsuka spoke, she approached Malucile curiously, wanting to take action on the pair of cat ears that looked easy to play with.

However, the other party was a little afraid of her for some reason. When he saw her approaching, he couldn't help but shrink his neck and hid in Malucile's arms.

"Eh?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and took out a small dried fish from somewhere, and waved it in front of her in a tempting tone:

"How about it, do you want to eat it?"

Sniff——

The other party sniffed, and finally couldn't stand the temptation of the dried fish, carefully approached, and then took the dried fish away in one bite.

"!"

Tasting the taste of the dried fish, the other party's eyes lit up instantly, looking at the dried fish that appeared in Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand again, no longer showing a vigilant expression, and followed the same method to take it and taste it happily again.

This time, Fujimaru Ritsuka tried to reach out and touch the other party's head. Not only was he not rejected, but he felt that the other party took the initiative to rub it.

Fujimaru Ritsuka then showed a satisfied smile.

"Well, good and good!"

Although there are also tsundere tower cats with the same configuration in Chaldea, as the saying goes, domestic cats are not as fragrant as wild cats, and secretly stroking cats outside has an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.

"That's great..."

Laos was a little tempted, but unfortunately he didn't have any snacks to feed, so he could only show an envious expression on the side.

Seeing this, Chilchak said speechlessly:

"I say, we were teleported here not just to play with cats, right?"

"Ah,"

After the other party reminded him, Laos quickly realized that they were brought here by the ghosts to meet the grandson of King Delga.

Just at this moment, a carriage suddenly appeared in the distance and drove towards them, but when the other party approached, Laos suddenly widened his eyes and said in disbelief:

"Wait a minute, the carriage is pulled by a unicorn——?!"

The carriage soon came in front of them, and the driver was a tall young man with a straw hat. Seeing their figures clearly, the other party looked a little confused.

"You...?"

But soon, he seemed to remember something and said in shock:

"You didn't come from outside?!"

"We came from the maze..."

"This is terrible, anyway, follow me first!"
