What is this noise?
< It’s time to go. Haa. I can’t live like this. There’s nyao choice. I’ll have to wake her up by hitting her. >
Hit? Hit who?
As if answering, I felt a sudden pain accompanied by a thud.
Startled, I opened my eyes wide.
At the same time, I saw a pure white fluffy paw. Without even having time to think about what it was, the paw lunged at my face.
“Ack!”
It must have hit me pretty hard because I screamed instinctively.
Seeing me like that, Jelly purred contentedly.
< Indeed, a cat punch is the best for waking someone up, nya. >
What? After hitting someone, you say that?
Dumbfounded, I jumped up and retorted.
“What are you saying? I was already awake…!”
Wait a minute.
Who am I talking to right now?
“…Jelly?”
When I absentmindedly called the name, an unusual response came back.
< Why are nya calling me? And that name is so lame. What’s Jelly? At least call me Cerberus, nya. >
“Cerberus, you?”
< Isn’t that the name of a really strong nyanimal from the world you used to live in? I won’t be nyatisfied with anything less. >
What are you talking about? Cerberus is a dog, not a cat.
More importantly, I can’t tell if this is a dream or reality.
A cat, talking?
And even complaining about its name?
‘Wait. Besides that…’
Setting aside the fact that the cat is talking, it seems like I heard something huge.
‘The world you used to live in.’
Saying that means this talking cat…
“Y-You know about me?”
Doesn’t that mean you know about my past life?
Jelly flinched noticeably.
Glancing around, it took a few steps back and started licking its paw.
“Judging by your evasiveness, it seems I didn’t hear wrong. You do know about me, don’t you?”
< I don’t knyow. Don’t ask. >
“How can I not ask about something so important? How do you know about me? Then, do you know about the system too? Do you know why I transmigrated as Roella?”
< I told you already, I don’t knyow. More importantly, there’s something more urgent right nyow. >
Huh, what’s more important than this?
“Stop making excuses. They won’t work on me.”
I glared at Jelly, determined to get the story no matter what.
But, the next moment.
< It’s nyot like that. Now really isn’t the time to talk about this. Hildeon is about to go nyaserk! >
My resolve wavered.
Hildeon is going to go berserk?
Just waking up from a dream like that, I couldn’t let it go.
“What do you mean? Hildeon going berserk?”
< Didn’t you just dream about the Crown Prince going nyaserk? >
“How do you know that?”
< I just knyow somehow. Anyway, that dream wasn’t just a dream. It’s something that’s going to happen soon. And you’re the only one who can stop it, nya. >
“What are you talking about? How can I stop the rampage?”
< In the dream, Hildeon reacted to a strange black aura, nyight? That black aura is the bug. It’s a form of misfortune evolved from bad luck. And Hildeon’s curse reacts to that bug, nya. >
I had somewhat figured that out.
That the bug and the curse had some level of interaction.
“So, you’re telling me to remove the bug?”
< Enyactly. Hildeon’s curse has the power to attract people’s bugs. So if he absorbs a large nyumber of bugs all at once… >
“He’ll go berserk, just like in my dream.”
I could roughly understand the structure of the situation.
Certainly, since Sylvia hasn’t appeared yet, I was the only one who could stop his rampage.
“But, how do you know all this?”
< I’ll explain everything later. Let’s go nyow. We need to leave right away to make it in time, nya. >
I felt like Jelly was trying to dodge the question, but it didn’t seem like he was lying.
The urgency in his voice seemed genuine.
“Ha. I guess there’s no choice.”
I sighed and got up from my seat.
After having such a dream, I couldn’t just sit back and let this misfortune unfold.
Besides, Hildeon had helped me a lot in various ways.
“Where is it?”
< On the outskirts of the capinyal. >
“The outskirts of the capital?”
< Yes, so we need to move quickly, nya. >
Traveling such a long distance in the middle of the night—what a hassle.
Even though I decided to help, I couldn’t help but grumble.
“Why on earth is he so far away in the middle of the night?”
