The story of the struggle in another world of the divine cat Mii-chan and the cat supplies summoner

111 Divine Cat Mii-chan Meets Everyone at the Communal Bath

I’m currently at Mr. Zelgado’s workshop.

Zelgado-san has been attaching something that looks like a telescope to a rifle.

“Alright, let’s head out. Bring the items prepared over there and follow me.”

Mii-chan, please store the items.

“Mii~”

We followed Mr. Zelgado to the base of the town’s defensive wall.

“Here, we won’t be affected by the wind.”

I took out and set up the items Mii-chan had stored. We placed the rifle on a stand and set up a large target 100 meters away.

“The thing attached to the rifle is a telescope. It can be extended and retracted. Fully extended is for 150 meters, and fully retracted is for 100 meters. We’ll adjust it for both 100 and 150 meters for now. For distances in between, you’ll have to manage by feel.”

I fixed the rifle to the stand and looked through the scope, but it was blurry.

“You can adjust the focus with the knob at the front.”

I adjusted the scope’s focus. It seems to be magnifying about four or five times. I aimed the rifle at the center of the target and fired.

Whiz!

The shot landed higher than where I aimed, punching a hole in the target without any side drift.

“It hit quite a bit higher.”

“I see. Hold on a moment.”

Zelgado-san made some adjustments.

“Alright, try firing again.”

Whiz!

This time, the shot landed just slightly below where I aimed, maybe about a centimeter off. Zelgado-san adjusted it again.

I fired once more, and this time, it hit dead center.

“This will be the standard for 100 meters. Next, we’ll adjust for 150 meters.”

We lowered the target by 50 meters, extended the scope, adjusted the focus, and fired. The shot landed much lower this time.

“Well, that’s expected. I’ll adjust it.”

After repeating the adjustments several times, we found the standard position.

“That should do it. Let’s head back to the workshop.”

Alright, everyone, let’s pack up.

Back at the workshop, while Zelgado-san worked, I relaxed in the backyard, basking in the sun. Some stray cats came by, so I took out some cookies from Mii-chan and gave them to the cats. They all ate together peacefully, though Perro looked like a hamster stuffing his cheeks.

After Zelgado-san finished his work, he called me inside the workshop.

Earlier, the scope was just round, but now it had a square cover that seemed to protect the lens when not in use.

“That’s not all. It’s waterproof, so it can be used even in the rain.”

I see, that’s well thought out. The scope can also be detached from the rifle.

“Attaching this will significantly improve your accuracy. However, don’t forget that weather and wind direction will affect your precision. In the rain, the range decreases, but in good weather after rain, the range increases. It’s set to be fixed at 100 and 150 meters, but you can adjust it freely if you remove the lock. The rest is up to you to master.”

The scope cost 1 million reto, plus another million for the spare cylinder and bullets. I paid the remaining balance after having already paid 1 million as a deposit.

“Someone came by the other day to order a gun. I kicked him out, though.”

Some impatient hunter, I suppose. I told them it wasn’t ready yet…

Apparently, they tried one of the prototypes we made earlier, but it was a complete failure.

“But you know, even if it’s not possible right now, there will come a time when this will bloom. And when it does, we’re gonna make a fortune! Gahaha!”

Good luck with that, Zelgado-san, the crazy inventor.

Alright, everyone, let’s go home.

When we returned to the Hunter Guild, the members of “Blue Dragon’s Roar” and “Fangs of the Dark” had also returned. I headed to the guild master’s office to report the completion of our request and to settle various expenses, including horse fees.

The guild master thoughtfully reserved and booked the entire venue at Master Sykes’ place, “Grand Phil,” for our celebration. This man knows how to handle things.

After returning to the inn and taking care of Sumire, we headed to the communal bath. It’s been a while, so I went all out and ordered the full course. Perro also decided to try the full course for the first time. Naturally, Mii-chan, Sera, and Lu-kun were “abducted” to the women’s bath.

Oh? Inside the bath, I noticed the members of “Blue Dragon’s Roar” and “Fangs of the Dark” were also there. It seems they only planned on bathing, but after hearing that I ordered the full course, they became curious and decided to try it as well.

“I didn’t expect it to feel this good.”

“I never would have believed being washed by someone could be this pleasant.”

“The massage was great too, right, Perro?”

“I thought it was ticklish at first, but it felt so good I almost fell asleep.”

“We’ve been missing out all this time, haven’t we, Kevin, Tim?”

“We need to have more room in our hearts, don’t we?”

“Yeah…”

Indeed, knowing about this full course experience makes a big difference in enjoying the communal bath.

After the bath, the women’s side was noisier than usual. It seems that, in addition to the usual female customers, the women of “Blue Dragon’s Roar” and “Fangs of the Dark” were also present. Mii-chan, from her prime spot on the counter lady’s lap, was charming customers with her sales smile. Sera and Lu-kun were doing their best to entertain everyone as well. They’re all hard workers.

While everyone enjoyed their time post-bath, Perro and I licked the frozen fruit juice I had prepared into ice pops. Lu-san was eyeing Perro’s ice pop intently, and Perro was desperately trying to protect it—typical.

Alright, let’s head over to “Grand Phil.”

I’m a bit nervous about the celebration itself, but I’m really looking forward to the meal.

Mii-chan, it’s time to go home.

“Mii~”
