Meowcom [Part 4]
Kan-chan jumped before object X at the perfect time. But right before he was about to catch the object just like that, his whiskers quivered alertly and his nose twitched.
Gunpowder smell.
(This… mustn’t be caught!)
Whether it was by instinct or intuition, Kan-chan instantly gave up catching object X and instead hit it with a silent cat punch.
“Meow meow meow, meow meoow woof!!”
(Attack, number one bow wow!!!) Kan-chan sent a silent cat punch, er rather, a super powerful spike toward object X.
“Meow!?”
“Meow!?”
*rus…stle r-rustle~!!*
Object X dove toward the Stuart Mansion’s garden because of Kan-chan’s attack.
(No way?!) Chou-chan on the ground covered his head with his paws.
(It’s coming here?!) Ryuu-chan on the ground covered her head with her paws.
(R-Run~!!) The tailless whip scorpions on the ground scrambled in all directions to run away but were still too late.
*KABOOM!*
Object X exploded the moment it hit the ground.
“Mew, meow!”
(That shocked meow. Kan-chan, tell us first if you want to drop it here!) Chou-chan grumbled.
It was such a big explosion.
A designated artillery shell developed to turn the Royal Capital into a sea of fire was designed to explode upon impact.
Normally, even Chou-chan couldn’t stay unscathed or afford to say any complaints.
“Mew meow meoow, meow meow!”
(You dropped it inside Tovver, I see. That surprised meow!) Ryuu-chan sighed in relief.
A cylindrical building made from Over fragment bricks was built near the armored boar trampoline.
The tower, commonly called Tovver, was now smoking like a chimney.
The tower made from the absurdly hard plant-type monster that tormented Imperial Japan didn’t even shake in the slightest after being slammed by the Empire’s cannonball.
“Meow!”
(Oh, sorry. My whiskers might have been burnt if I had caught it… so I let it land) Kan-chan explained that he had no choice while apologizing to Chou-chan and Ryuu-chan.
*rustle? …rustle?*
(Eh? It will just burn your whiskers?)
The tailless whip scorpions who ran away everywhere were left speechless by Kan-chan.
“Meow! Meoow!”
(But! That was super fun!) Kan-chan looked at Tovver, whose smoke started to subside.
“Meoow”
(I wonder if more of it will come~) He urged in the direction the artillery shell came from.
“Meow meow!”
Ryuu-chan: (It would have been so dangerous if it hadn’t been for Tovver!)
*rustle rustle!*
(Our hard work to make it sturdy paid off!) The tailless whip scorpions puffed out with pride.
“Oomeow, meow?”
“Meow meow…”
(Btw, did you just bark once earlier? Bow wow?) Chou-chan squinted at Kan-chan.
(N-No, you just imagined it…) Kan-chan averted his gaze away.
“Meow?”
Chou-chan: (Fur real?)
“Mew… mewmew…”
Kan-chan: (F-Fur real…)
Then, another *boom* was heard from the same direction
Furthermore, it’s not just once this time…
“Mew! Mew, meow!”
(It went *boom* again! Many are coming!) Chou-chan strained his ears at the continuous firing sound.
“Mewmeow. Meoow, meow!”
(Oh my, many are coming.
Tailless whip scorpions, I will help you jump with this, so go ahead and play too!) Ryuu-chan pointed at the other playground equipment Joshua brought that looked like a seesaw.
*rus…tle rustle!?*
Tailless whip scorpions: (Huh, play? …We’re also doing this!?)
“Meow!”
Ryuu-chan: (Of course. Leave the aiming to me!)
*rustle rustle…*
The tailless whip scorpions couldn’t go against the cats.
With the feeling of heading to the guillotine, the tailless whip scorpions moved orderly to one side of the seesaw-like board.
“Mew, meoow?”
(Aren’t you glad that you won’t be bored tonight?) Ryuu-chan pointed at the trampoline as if saying, “Go ahead and play” to Kan-chan and Chou-chan while sending the tailless whip scorpions flying without accepting any arguments.
“ “Oomeoow!” ”
(Yaayyy!) Kan-chan hopped, and Chou-chan followed after him.
All artillery shells were dropped into Tovver, and the cats and tailless whip scorpions had fun playing the target game all night.
Thus, the Royal Capital was saved from turning into a sea of fire by the cats and the tailless whip scorpions, but it was not until later that Joanna learned of this news.

Author’s corner:
Seri-ass: I was in a flower garden-like place this whole time.
Crisis: Huh?
Seri-ass: All sorts of people were there, and sometimes someone would call me from far across the river…
Crisis: Huh?
Seri-ass: But I thought if I go, I must go with Crisis, so I paid that calling voice no heed.
Crisis: Huh?
Seri-ass: That’s why, it’s okay now.
Crisis: Huh?
Seri-ass: I’m not the weak me from the past anymore. I have become stronger, Crisis. That’s right. I have obtained a strong body immune to any gags.
Crisis: For now, let’s wipe your nosebleed first, ‘kay, Seri-ass?
Seri-ass: Eh?
Rom-Com Geeky Lady: Love is thrill and violence.
Comedy: Isn’t it more like horror, or rather, occult?
