Chapter 451: -192- Yulster and Nisi

In the garden of the Count Mansion.

The gardeners and maids looked from afar at the two figures—one large, one small—darting around the garden, their expressions somewhat odd.

And the one being watched, Lord Yulster, was unconcerned about the gazes of others.

He smiled, leisurely chasing after a certain shadow, or more precisely, after Nisi...

Suddenly, Black Cat Nisi sprang onto a large tree nearby, agilely not at all resembling a fattened cat.

While Lord Yulster strolled to the base of the tree and looked up with a smile at the panting Black Cat on the trunk:

"Dear Lord Nicholas, why are you avoiding me? I just want to have a little chat with you."

"Miaow! There’s nothing to chat about! You’ve got the wrong cat! My name is Nisi! Not Nicholas!"

The Black Cat denied from the tree trunk.

"Oh? Is that so? Maybe I heard wrong then, but... It seems like you have left quite a few familiar designs in the Legris Family."

Yulster took out several magic tool design drawings found in the Legris Family, saying with interest.

"Miaow! What’s so strange about that? As a magic cat from the Castel family, what’s wrong with knowing a bit about magic tool design?"

"Is that so? But the designs you left, their style seems very similar to an old acquaintance I knew hundreds of years ago. Not only the drawings are similar, but so is your name, you know? His name was Nicholas, and he was quite an excellent Legendary Mage."

"Miaow! Of course I know about that great and wise Legendary Mage, respected and great. That’s why I learned his style of magic!"

"Oh, then maybe I really was mistaken. If I remember correctly, my old acquaintance immensely disliked cats, now that I think about it... Such a proud man, he would probably never want to turn into a fat, black cat, right?"

Nisi: ...

"What do you know? Master Cat here is in perfect shape! Health, understand? Miaow! Being plump is all about the feel! It’s plumpness that makes it cute! You ask the maids in the Count Mansion, see if they don’t like me?!"

"Hmm? But... they seem to always say that you like to peep on them bathing, your lecherous gaze makes you seem like a sleazy old man, it’s quite helpless."

Nisi: ...

"By the way, this lechery also resembles my old acquaintance of hundreds of years ago. Hmm... oh dear, you aren’t really him, are you?"

Nisi: ...

"No, no... I must be mistaken, after all, when I and that acquaintance were discussing the secret techniques of extending life for mages, he was proudly and firmly saying that maintaining human form is the true skill of a Legendary Mage. He considered methods like Witch Demonization, Blood Embrace, Body Transmigration as heretical—he had no interest in changing his form into those lower organisms."

Nisi: ...

"Hmm? Why the silence? I wasn’t talking about you. Please don’t mind it."

"After all... You’re just a Black Cat who can perform magic, make magic tools, and whose name, personality, and hobbies somewhat resemble that of the Legendary Mage Nicholas."

Nisi: ...

Seeing Black Cat Nisi’s already dark face turning darker with his teasing, Lord Yulster’s smile brightened more.

No matter how Nisi denied it, no matter how Nisi argued, both the man standing under and the cat in the tree knew deep down—

A certain "pet" of the Count Mansion, whose belly had recently grown rounder, had been exposed following the failed ritual of the Blood Demon Church.

Looking at the enraged Black Cat on the tree trunk, puffing and glaring, Lord Yulster felt increasingly pleasant.

How many years had it been since he last teased this fellow so liberally?

From the time the other had disappeared, at least... it must have been over two hundred years?

As a Bloodline Count who liked to stay in his castle studying magic inscriptions, he didn’t have many friends, and the other counted as one.

During these few hundred years that his friend was missing, without an academic partner to discuss and argue with, it indeed made him quite lonely.

Thinking of this, Yulster’s gaze towards the Black Cat softened considerably.

He sighed lightly and said:

"Lord Nicholas, long time no see."

Nisi instinctively wanted to retort.

But looking at Yulster’s gaze filled with nostalgia and sighs, he eventually held back the rebuttal that had reached his lips.

After a moment, he quietly said:

"Nicholas is a figure of history now, my name is Nisi, I’m just a Black Cat."

Yulster was moved and asked:

"So... Lord Black Cat Nisi, can you tell me what you have experienced all these years?"

"You should know, after the Legendary Mage Nicholas disappeared, I specifically went looking for him, but however much I searched, there was no trace of him, except knowing he was being hunted by many churches, I couldn’t find any other clues."

"Maybe... that’s why he disappeared, Lord Yulster. Peeping into the secrets of the deities always comes with a price."

Nisi said after a moment of silence.

"Peeping into the secrets of the deities..."

Yulster mused.

He looked thoughtful and then sighed:

"Perhaps so, after all... he indeed was always a mage who disrespected deities."

After saying that, he again looked at the Black Cat on the tree trunk, suddenly asking:
