I have Became Able to Do Anything with My Growth Cheat but I Can not Seem to Get out of Being Jobless Chapter 364

Chapter 364

(364) Cat Communicator

Translator: Tseirp

I somehow felt that it would be better to not let the inspector know that I was alive . If possible, I would rather not enter through the gates . Thankfully, the last location I created the exit to My World was in the room we borrowed in Suzuki’s home .

Haru and I used Home Return and returned to My World before exiting to the room .

It was great that Carol was waiting for us in the room .

“Good work, Ichino-sama . That was a disaster . ”

“Yeah, I’m seriously tired . Ah, Haru . This is a j.a.panese room so please take off your shoes . ”

I couldn’t feel comfortable wearing shoes on a tatami mat so I immediately took them off but Haru still had her shoes on .

“Well, I shouldn’t do what I am unfamiliar with . I was thinking of leaving the information gathering to Carol . ”

“Carol will gather what information Carol can gather . But while role division is important, please do not push the entire task on Carol . Ichino-sama should have information that only Ichino-sama can obtain . ”

Carol was strict even when she was kind .

True, I couldn’t ask Carol to investigate the matter related to Metias-sama that I heard from Tet-sama . Unlike my Jobless skills, I did not receive permission to talk about it with trustworthy people and there was an astounding lack of information .

The world was on the verge of destruction and other world people are summoned here to avoid that . But it only delayed the end and did not completely avoid it …

“Carol . Was it true that 12,000 soldiers are approaching?”

“Yes . Please ask the information provider for the details . Carol believes that it is a trustworthy piece of information . ”

Carol said ‘They are in this house’ and led me to them .

It didn’t seem as though Suzuki had returned home .

That guy was probably worried too .

“Thank you for waiting . ”

Carol said as she held the door open .

Eh? This is the kitchen?

She wasn’t guiding me to the reception room?

I stepped inside while feeling suspicious but there was n.o.body there .

“Ichino-sama, this person here . ”

Eh? This person?

Ah, it was the pattern of thinking it would be a grown adult but it was actually a child .

Or was it a Mini-Hume?

I lowered my line of sight but there was still n.o.body there .

“Ichino-sama, even lower . ”

Eh? Even lower?

I lowered my gaze even further and saw a tabby cat .

Even looking down from above or bending down to lower my line of sight, the cat was still a cat .

“Is this perhaps a Cat・Sith?”

“No, Ichino-sama . This is a cat that is kept in this home . ”

“A cat kept in this home … Carol, did you receive information from this cat? Sorry but I can only speak to birds and I can’t understand cats . It would help if you interpret for me . ”

『No, there is no need for interpretation . 』

The cat suddenly spoke .

What was going on?

『It’s been a long time . 』

“I don’t know any talking cats though?”

『Hey now, that’s cold . You even bought three of my manga . 』

Huh? Three books of manga?

I’ve never been to a bookstore in this world .

The old man from the bookstore that time had pa.s.sed away and I didn’t buy any manga there .

Wait – perhaps –

“Are you perhaps the Cat Manga-user!”

『Wrong! My name is –』

“Nyantender-sensei?”

『That is my pen name! My name is –』

“More importantly, what happened? Did you finally end up turning into a cat from the cat curse?”

His job was arbitrarily changed into Cat-user Cat Manga-user by the Cat・Siths so he resented them for it .

Did he try to get revenge on the Cat・Siths and end up getting cursed instead?

『No, this is the Cat-user skill Cat Bell Communicator . I could create a communication bell using the Cat-user skill and put it on cats to freely communicate . And I could see your face from looking through the eyes of the cat . 』

What?!

The Cat Communicator was a video phone!?

Messenger, Kin Messenger, Communication Talisman .

I’ve obtained various skills and tools to communicate with people from a distance away but wasn’t his skill the most convenient?

『People who have the Cat-user curse have used this skill to maintain their own information network around the world . 』

“Have they looked into the women’s bath and such?”

『Incidentally, I placed this bell here to ask Hero-sensei to buy books at the book sale tomorrow for me . 』

He didn’t answer my question .

I guess I hit the mark .

“Haru, Carol . I forbid you from changing in front of a cat from now on . There’s no telling if there is a Cat Manga-user’s cat lurking around . ”

『It’s Cat-user! More importantly, listen . The Cat-user information network is vast . Cat・Siths are able to live in hidden villages around the world because they gather their own information . The information are mostly pointless ones such as ‘The rats in the mountain decreased’ or ‘There were a lot of storms this year and fis.h.i.+ng could not be done so the price of fish increased by 20%’ but occasionally it picks up grave information and will be sent to the information network of all Cat-users in the world using Cat Communicator . According to that information, tomorrow 12,000 soldiers from the Tsuaobal army will surround Mallegory . 』

“Are you certain?”

『Information coming from them are usually useless information but it has never been fake . Please tell Hero-sensei that I don’t need the Doujins.h.i.+ this time round and to please evacuate . Sorry, my MP is about to run out –』

The Cat Manga-user’s communication cut off and the cat tilted its head curiously before drinking from the bowl meant for the cat at the kitchen at its own pace .

It looked like the call cut off .

“12,000 soldiers … normally I wouldn’t trust information from a Cat Manga-user though . ”

Since it was a communicator, I could not read the cat’s feelings using Thought Trace so I couldn’t judge the authenticity of the information .

But this time the information tallied with Talwi’s words .

Mallegory’s destruction –

“Master, what should we do?”

Haa, wars and soldiers would be troublesome so I wanted to leave town immediately and chase after Miri .

But I couldn’t do so if I wanted to get my hands on Milky’s book .

【Ichinojo-sama, this is Rarael . The Devil girl has just woken up . She is currently calm but she can enter her berserk state at any moment . Please return to help . 】

Ah, so she’s awake .

“The Devil girl has apparently woken up . Regarding the troop movements, n.o.body would believe me if I told the townspeople or it would cause panic . Haru, could you follow Suzuki’s scent and tell him as fast as possible? Along with what happened with Talwi . However, do not approach him if the inspector is around – ah, you’ve not met him before . He’s a fat man with a strange laugh . During that time, I will enter My World and treat the Devil girl . ”

“Yes, please leave it to me . ”

Haru said and left through the kitchen’s back entrance .

Carol and I returned to our room and entered My World .

“We’ve been waiting for you, Master . ”

This time Pionia came to greet me .

The Devil girl was at home .

She was a fair-skinned girl with brown hair .

It was not the log house that I lived in . It was a brick house .

“ … . Was this house always here?”

“Negative . It was built in a hurry . A guest house . ”

“You went through the trouble to build one …”

I entered the guest house .

She was tied up with sashes and was being watched by Rarael, Rurina and Neete .

The Devil girl looked at me with resentment .

“Sorry for the wait . Do you remember what happened?”

“I heard about what happened . I recall a little about trying to kill you . ”

“Then I would like it if you don’t look at me with such eyes . I am not your enemy . I am Ichinojo . You are?”

“Flute . ”

“I see … Flute . Rurina, are you ready?”

Rurina nodded .

“Rurina, I will be registering you into my party . ”

“I don’t have a choice right? Do what you like . ”

She nodded so Rurina immediately placed Flute into the party .

“Let me see your status . ”

“Go ahead . ”

She said with a blunt att.i.tude .

“Status open, Flute . ”

As expected, her attack and speed were considerable .

If her stats increased even further during Berserk, she would become considerably stronger .

In addition, Fighting with one’s back to the wall – was definitely a skill that would transform her damage taken to strength .

Throw Stone could be a Commoner skill but Flight?

Are Devil race all able to fly in the sky?

Illusion Magic was probably the magic she used to hide her wings and horns .

Perhaps something similar to Carol’s Fascinating Transformation spell?

I guess she could not change job to ordinary jobs since she became a criminal .

For now, I changed her job to Attonement-Seeker .

“It should be fine for now . ”

“ … What did you do? I feel a loss of strength . ”

“Look at your status yourself . I did it for your sake . ”

“ … Status Open . ”

Flute looked at me with sceptical eyes but she verified her status .

“ … What!?”

It looked like she realized her job had switched to Attonement-Seeker .

“What exactly did you do?”

“Sorry but I can’t tell you that . Also, I can only ask now after it’s already decided but you will have to stay here for now . I will guarantee food and shelter and will also help to raise the level of Attonement-Seeker so that you can return to ordinary life . But, it would be bad if others find out that you are alive . Also, I will be troubled if you tell anybody about the things here . ”

“It will certainly be bad if it is known that the Dark Elves rumored to have been destroyed are still living here . ”

That was not all .

I couldn’t let others know about My World either .

“Well, I’ll think of a way for now, Flute . Do you have family? I could at least let them know that you are alive . ”

“There’s no way I will reveal that to you . ”

“Why? Your family would be worried . ”

They would at least be relieved if they knew that she was safe .

“Ichinojo-sama . The Devil race lives by mingling among the Hume race . Unless she has complete trust in Ichinojo-sama, I believe it will be difficult to have her tell you about her family . ”

Ah I see, information might leak so she wouldn’t feel safe telling such information to me .

In fact, I heard that the Devil race discovered from this event were sent to the church .

“I’m sorry, I didn’t give enough consideration . ”

I apologized and untied the sashes .

“Rarael . Show Flute around . ”

“Are you sure? I might run away . ”

“You can try to escape if you are able to . But there are dangerous areas so at least tell us beforehand . ”

Only Haru and I have the means to leave My World .

She won’t be able to escape just because she wants to and her stats as Attonement-Seeker was even worse than Jobless . Even if she used a weapon and suddenly stabbed a person, it would probably not kill anybody .

“ … Ah, right . At least tell me this . What was the trigger word that caused the activation of the Frenzy Curse? I only heard that it was ‘The world’s Kyu’ . ”

“The World’s Salvation … I believe I heard the man say that . My mind collapsed when I heard that . ” (TL: Salvation = Kyusai)

“The World’s Salvation …”

Talwi said those words .

The destruction and salvation of the world .

And the End of the World .

What was the meaning of this?

I shouldn’t have anything to do with events on the scale that affects the entire world .
