171 – [3] Cat Beast
#171
It felt like the brilliant darkness of the evening enveloped the room.
Blurry moonlight streamed through the window, becoming even more noticeable as the door closed.
When I turned on the light on one side of the room, the dark room became illuminated.
The cat beast frowned greatly at the sudden amount of light.
But even at that moment of frowning, her face was full of fatigue and suffering.
I also made a similar expression as I smelled the dust and sweat of the old mat filling the room.
I put down something I had put in a plastic bag in the corner, then dragged a chair from the corner and sat down in front of him.
“uuu… ….”
A look that seems to be asking what you are going to do.
I wasn’t planning on doing anything special.
Some cat lovers do this and commit vicious acts, but I was not that strict.
People have always deserved to be treated like human beings, so he planned to do the same to her when he was captured.
I removed the silver duct tape from her mouth.
Along with her muttering sound, the cat beast let out her scream.
However, because she had weak adhesive strength, the cat whiskers on her cheeks remained the same.
To be honest, even if she bit her mouth just a little bit, she would have taken it off, but it was surprising in many ways that she didn’t.
“Nyaaang… ….”
“It doesn’t hurt anyway. “Stop smoking so much.”
“Jin, it really hurt! “Can’t you just be gentle with me?!”

It was so dull that he reacted violently, even fluttering his dull navy blue long hair.
It was a very strong attitude towards the subject that was caught.
It was especially clear that this was probably due to the location being moved from the Nartica branch to here.
At least I could move freely there even though it was small, but now I can’t do that at all.
“Then should I put it back on?”
First of all, we had to take the initiative.
He fired harshly.
“I don’t like that!”
The cat beast was intimidated, but glared at me with venomous eyes.
Her blue eyes contained a cry of wanting to give up.
I just pretended to always come out strong.
In the end, the area around her dull eyes filled with the darkness of an evening when the sunset had disappeared.
“…… “Why on earth did you drag me here?”
“I have a question.”
“Do you have any questions?”
“That was back then. “Why on earth did you come into the store and behave so rudely?”
When I was in the middle of stocking up with Ines at the store.
He came in out of nowhere and yelled at me to come out.
“That’s…… The gangsters ordered it… ….”
“Then how on earth did they know I was there?”
I was always curious.
I thought I wouldn’t see him again after failing to pickpocket him, but he appeared out of nowhere.
“That…” ….”
“As soon as the pickpocketing failed, you went and told them everything, and that’s why they came after me, right?”
“Well, that…” ….”
Then he became silent.
It seemed right.
Immediately he started shaking and crying.
He could have gone out gently, but he was too much of a cat to do that.
I should not have given up on my high profile.
As she continued to display this attitude, the cat beast lowered her head.
“I’m sorry…” ….”
“Why are you so sorry?”
“I’m really sorry…” … From next time—”
“Will there be a next time?”
He spoke as if he was throwing something out.
Cat Suin cried at that single word.
“Please, don’t kill me…… ! Because I will do anything. Just my life…… !”
“You know what? My friend wanted to send you to Northeast Asia. “Just because it’s scandalous.”
“Northeast Asia?”
It was a very comprehensive statement.
Sure enough, as soon as he heard those words, his expression brightened for a moment and then immediately began to darken.
He looked at me from bottom to top.
Then he looked at his still golden hair and was astonished.
“Wasn’t it originally silver hair…? … ?”
“You had silver hair, right? “I have dyed my hair now due to personal reasons.”
“…… !!”
Then I shifted my gaze to my ears.
I thought of a type of person with silver hair and pointed ears.
“No way! Han, are you planning on selling me out to Korea? … !”
He denied it and said no.
However, it seemed like the parties had already made a decision.
“That’s a lie! “I heard somewhere that elves living in Korea behead people and then eat them!”
“It was like that a long time ago. “I won’t eat you now.”
Of course, retaliatory beheadings still occur.
Still, hunters’ radical actions for the purpose of revenge were a common occurrence all over the world.
“And to be more precise, the place you were originally planning to head to was China.”
“China…… ? There… ….”
“Yes, it is a place where you never know when someone dies. “The reason you are here now is purely to stop me from sending you to China.”
Because she looks pretty and has a good voice.
The intention was to send it to the Chinese branch and use it for exploitative purposes.
But in reality, the results of the investigation were strange.
The reason I suppressed a thousand delusions and brought the cat beast here was to reinforce the result.
I heard that the basement of the Nartica branch was strangely cozy, and that they tended to give vague explanations during the investigation.
If you wanted to get the information that was coming out of your heart and instinctively, you had to send it to the edge of the cliff.
Of course, they only bluffed and threatened, and had no intention of actually putting them down in Spartan style.
The purpose was always to mine information in detail.
“I just make up my own mind, right? Then it wouldn’t be a problem to send you back to China or starve you to death.”
“That’s not enough…… ! I’ll do anything! Please, at least in China…….”
“Then spit out all the information you know. “If you like it, I’ll let you avoid going to China.”
Believe it or not, it’s up to you.
However, I had no feeling that they would not believe that I was really sending it to China.
I was trapped in the basement of the Nartica branch anyway.
I wouldn’t think that this side would have the ability to carry out such a thing.
“First, what is your name?”
“…… Sage.”
“That’s a pseudonym. “Where in the world is a cat with an Anglo-American name?”
Most of them had Japanese names, Arabic names, and their own names.
During the underground investigation, they called that name and passed on it, so it was a huge mistake to think that it would happen again this time.
“We will even conduct a background investigation. “If you don’t speak honestly here, I won’t be responsible for anything that happens.”
“…… “Ayaka Kobayashi.”
“Okay, Ayaka. “Why did you hang out with such gangsters?”
“Of course…” … !”
Growling─
The sound of the boat rang powerfully.
It was natural since he hadn’t been fed anything for a full day.
“It was to avoid starving to death. “Then how did you end up in Puerto Rico?”
“No, you’re asking such a question because you think it will benefit you?”
“You don’t have to know that, so just answer honestly. For your information, I know that if you say you were abandoned, you will be beaten.”
“…… “The owner I was serving has gone missing.”
An unexpected fact.
I thought it was just a street cat, but that wasn’t the case.
“The owner is missing?”
“To be exact, the day the terrorist attack occurred at the Academy. “The owner is missing.”
Unusual case.
It was not a simple life at the bottom, but a life of rapid decline from the top to the bottom.
“If someone is missing, isn’t it normal to help with the investigation or return to their home country? “Why were you still in Puerto Rico?”
“The owner’s parents also went missing and his position was in turmoil, and bad things kept happening like this…… “It’s done.”
The people they served disappeared during the academy attack.
I tried to contact other places, but failed and the location disappeared.
Even bad things happen one after another.
Because of this, they were left completely isolated.
“Is that roughly the case?”
“That’s right.”
“But didn’t you have any money saved? “If I had that, I think I could have gone back quickly.”
I shook my head violently.
I was sure to save it, but it seemed like I was in no position to take it out.
“Why on earth?”
The moment I looked at it with that thought in mind.
Ayaka pointed as if it was because of something small drawn on the nape of her neck.
“Tattoo?”
It was a tattoo.
However, it was just plain.
Draw your entire body on drawing paper.
It wasn’t at the level of a large drawing on her lower abdomen.
“It’s a symbol related to the organization.”
“Could it be Yakuza?”
“Well…… The owner wanted to be a hunter…… Anyway, you can see it that way.”
I laughed out loud at the attitude of trying to wrap it up.
Oh my god, gangs aren’t enough, this time it’s the Yakuza.
What on earth is going on in the academy that kids like that come here?
What was even more shocking was that it didn’t end there, and a variety of additional information was spit out.
Although it was expected, there was no end in sight.
* * *
First of all, the additional investigation itself did not take very long.
It was because the questions were always asked with the purpose of reinforcing existing information.
Of course, there was a chance that all questions would be answered faithfully, but things did not always go well in the world.
A representative example was important information related to the owner.
– “No information related to the owner.”
– “It’s really not possible. If I tell you this, my acquaintances will later… ….”
– “About the master…… “Even if I die, I can’t tell you in detail.”
– “Even if it means being tortured and dying, it’s not okay.”
– “I’m sorry. Other questions may be asked, but this is really… ….”
A series of no comments and indirect answers.
When I asked him to spit out his name, he wouldn’t spit it out, and when I asked him to spit out his age or where he lived, he refused, and even showed an attitude of readying himself for death.
It’s so suspicious that it feels like the ship itself will break through the maximum.
However, as the suspiciousness exceeded a certain level, I felt like I couldn’t figure it out.
‘I think I know something.’
This was because there were several characters in the game with similar contexts.
I don’t know if the master she served was one of the characters I know, but if so, there was a high possibility that she was still missing.
“Wait a minute, I think I might be able to find your owner.”
“That seems like such an obvious lie.”
Sadly, it was a mouth that was too heavy to be sincere.
I wonder why my master would do something like that.

In the end, he said he was grateful for this much information and handed him a convenience store lunch box.
It was around this time that I was watching her eat next to her in case she ran away.
“Oh my, what kind of smell is this! It’s Gangsi! “Can’t you turn this off?!”
Oh, that’s right.
I headed straight to the kitchen.
