Cheat na Kaineko no Okage de Rakuraku Level Up Chapter 3

Chapter 3: The talking house cat

As the dead adventurers’ bodies were scattered all along the pathway, I collected the debris from the golem, and built a makeshift tombstone.

If I at least had a shovel, I would like to dig a proper grave.

Those items that were contained in their bags – found in the dungeon or dropped by enemies – can be kept by the finder.

Although some people might blame me for robbing a dead person, however, this world is different from my original safe world.
I do not even have a home to live in, so it is better to have some items on hand. The dead adventurer will surely understand.

I walked towards the exit of the dungeon.
On the way, naturally we met some monsters, but Misha demolished all of them.

I picked up the sword from a destroyed skeleton warrior, and my equipment slightly improved.

I also picked up the items that the enemy dropped.
There is a magic stone that looks like a gem inside the body of monsters, which is the source of energy for the monsters to move.
Hence, I collected all of these as they could give me a source of income.

[— and hence that is how it is, I made it to the 15th floor. The proof is the fragment from the golem]

I returned to the carriage and reported the situation, but the official’s facial expression changed immediately.

[Are…. you, Lv 1 is it…. but, it’s true that a golem will only appear on the 15th floor….]

I didn’t know if I should explain the situation regarding Misha, but I decided to remain silent.
What if Misha is recruited to be a solider, my time together with Misha will only decrease. (T.L. Lol I cannot imagine a cat solider….)

[All the other party members were killed by the golem. I am the only lucky one to have survived]

I did not tell a single lie.

[I see…. I can only admit that you managed to reach the 15th floor….]
I properly received 15000 coins.
I also sold the magic stone that I picked up to a shop, and received another 7000 coins.
So in total I earned 22000 coins (T.L. 220,000 Yen/ $1800 USD/ $2750 SGD)
This sum of money will allow me to stay in an inn, although it is the capital but there are also some cheap inns.

Other thing worth mentioning, I did not accept the invitation to join the military.

Unn, because Lv 1 is a bit….

I found an inn that cost 500 coin per night on that day, and decided to stay there.
The place is a bit small but I was attracted by the rice meal they offered.

[Hahaha, you, are an otherworldly adventurer ne~. It is troublesome, but do your best!]
The inn owner encourages me, and my spirit is lifted ever so slightly.

[Ano~, could I bring in my pet companion?]

The inn owner looked at Misha.
Misha gave a friendly “Nya~” out.

[Of course there is no problem at all!]

Aaaah, in j.a.pan, the hygiene requirement will be very strict.
The room is not wide, but the facilities is still alright, although I did not intend to life here for long.
First of all, let’s try the bed, alright!
Misha is also very curious of the room, jumping onto the bed, or crawling under the bed to investigate.
After that, I sat on the chair next to a coffee table and Misha jumped onto my lap.

[Misha, what should we do from now on?]

My bad habit of talking to Misha started again.
[I will earn the income for both of us, since you are only Lv 1 nya~. If you don’t mind, we could also enter the dungeon together and hunt monsters nya~?] (T.L. I added the nya~ since its first time Misha is speaking)

[Of course yo~. I will earn my own living expenses]

[I am very happy if that’s how you think. Of course I will help you]

[Goshujinsama is only Lv 1, it’s a fact that we cannot change. You can slowly level up, no need to worry]

[Aaa, I am so happy that I own such a good cat….]

Are~

Something, there is something strange here.

Who on earth am I talking to?

[What is it? Suddenly becoming so silent, are you touched by what I did?]

[You, are you Misha?]

Misha who is on my lap turned her face and look at me.

[Goshujinsama is the one who gave Misha her name. Please take responsibility and remember my name properly]

[No no no! This is not what I meant! How come Misha is suddenly able to talk!?]

[Un. It will be extremely troublesome if other people found out, so I kept saying ‘nya~’. However, there is no other people in this room]

It’s true that Misha is moving her mouth when speaking.

[So there is such a reason….]

[So ne~, it is because of the G.o.ddess ne~]

She is able to interact without any difficulties.

[Nee, do you have any memo we could write on? Do need to discuss what we need to do later on]

Honestly speaking, I felt that the way Misha spoke is arrogant. Well, this is how a cat usually is. Some of my subordinates in j.a.pan felt that keeping a dog is better.

[Etto…. I remember one of the items I found in the dungeon included some paper]

There were 20 pieces of paper, a quil and a bottle of ink found in a set.
It is not made of animal hide. Generally, the technology in this world is good enough to make paper.

[Well then, let’s talk. So ne~, first of all, the most important thing is to earn money]

[Maa, that’s how it is]

Even after arriving in the other world, the importance of having money did not change.

[We cannot proceed with this ne~. However, I do not know how much time it will take, but it is quite easy to earn money yo~]

[Does Misha intend to enter the dungeon?]

Defeat the monster and collect their magic stone.

[That’s the plan. We can have a stable income if we keep doing this. However, I do not want other people to know my cheat power if possible, so it is better if we can hide it ne~]

[What do you mean?]

[I saw the poster at the shop selling magic stones. There is a guild in this world. Goshujinsama, you must join the adventurer guild]

Misha used a commanding tone and ordered me.

[It will be strange if an ordinary man brings a cat to the dungeon every single day. Whether it is the guild or the military, as long as they feel something is strange about it, the matter regarding me might be exposed]

[Misha….]

[What? Is there any part you don’t understand?]

[How do you know such information….?]

No matter what you say, the information is too detailed!

[Goshujinsama, don’t you always read these type of novel on your computer? I also saw it when I was behind you. Although when I climbed up your desk, and disturb you those time]

[You,  you can read words….]

[Although half of it might seem to be a lie. Using the power of the G.o.ddess, not only is my physical ability enhanced, but my memory and understanding power also greatly increased]

[I understand the reason now….]

Maa, the power of the G.o.ddess, it’s equivalent to a cheat.

[Back on the topic. Go join the guild. On the surface, if it is an adventurer, entering the dungeon will be a very natural thing. Although it is still eye-catching to carry a cat and enter the dungeon, there are also cases where a sailor kept a cat on his ship to catch mice, so this much might be acceptable]

I wrote down “money, guild” on the piece of paper.

Although I intended to write it down in j.a.panese, I realized that all the words are in this world’s language before I noticed it.
After coming to this world, I haven’t tried reading any words yet.

[I also want a house to stay in. However, that will be somewhere in the future. It costs 500 coins to stay for a night, so we must earn at least that extent of money]

As I was talking to a cat sitting on my lap, I could not calm down.
Anyway, I also wrote down “a house to live”.

[After this, it is the purchase of magic books. Maa, let’s just window shop first, but sooner or later we will have the money]

[Do you intend to teach me magic?]

Why, that should be something we do further in the future.

[I have already decided]

Misha said as if she was stating a fact.

[Ee, if there is transformation magic…. I want to become a human….]

Is Misha embarra.s.sed? She turned her face over to the other side.

[No matter what, I want to became a human and make out with goshujinsama….] (T.L. 0.0) (E.D. Is this considered b.e.s.t.i.a.lity?! xD )
