Chapter 125 Black Cat Tribe

[Charles POV]

Having my arm ripped off was an experience. With the knowledge I gained during the raid against the people of Gaia, I had given myself a curse of numbness. Because of this, any physical feeling I have would be ineffective. I only had this curse turned off when I slept with the girls.

Gram was shivering a lot, feeling my glance at him. While I did play with him with my words, it was his fault for attacking me first. I can't be blamed for his slight temper.

Upon going to their place, the people of Winar did things simply. Their land wasn't too far away. It took us thirty minutes of walking and then using an artifact to teleport us to where they lived. Judging from how they used this artifact, it meant there was a limit on its distance.

The Black Cat Tribe lived in a savanna biome. Upon arriving, I saw how the people of this tribe lived.

Fear was spread among the tribe. I didn't do anything that should scare them. But remembering what happened recently, my actions have spread far and wide.

Did someone do a stream and broadcast it to the whole world? Dr. Stocker... That fucker owes me! I demand any legal rights for the money that he made using me!

I sighed, thinking how uncomfortable this trip would be. Not only would I be the object of fear, but the place I would be is boring!!!

"Nene... I'm glad you don't live in a place like this... You would've suffered so much..."

Winar was at the age when barbarians scavenged the lands. That would mean any technology that we were used to doesn't exist. My spine tingled for the possible hygiene that they may have.

Nene knew the intentions coming from me. She, too, agreed that living in a place like this compared to Earth was a hell hole.

Even Reina paled, thinking about the possibility of living in this world. I have checked in on one of the houses, and their toilet looks uncomfortable.

Gram and the others hearing what I said, were secretly displeased. They were unable to object due to their fear of me. If I were a slightly less scary person, they would've told me to check around the place to see its greatness.

"So... What do you people do for fun here?"

I don't think anyone here would want to stay in their house with nothing to do. So there's gotta be something interesting that they do.

"Hunting and fighting."

"..."

Gram sounded proud doing something pretty boring. Reina was even more displeased than me. I may sound snobby, but being in a place like this was unbearable.

"Does this world have any cities or towns?"

"??? We have a village. And ours are the best of the best."

It's doomed... They don't even know what a town or a city is. Forget about barbarians. They might as well be savages.

"Reina, Nene. Wanna go back?"

No one would hold it against them unless they were the people of the black cat tribe. This was an insult to their people.

Reina and Nene consulted with one another. Reina looked like she wanted to leave while Nene tried to convince her to stay. With an agreement made, Reina relented to Nene's decision.

"We will stay."

"We are going to stay~!"

"Then Nekomaru will be your guide."

Gram put all the responsibility on Nekomaru. Everyone scattered to their home, leaving the sole black cat of their group to us.

"I'm Nekomaru... And I'll be your guide... Follow me, and I will show you around..."

He was shaking, talking to me specifically.

"Master..?"

Rose woke up with me carrying her. After getting a hold of herself, I let her down with only Courtney still asleep.

"Did you have a sweet dream?"

"Master... I dreamt of your arm being ripped off..."

"Don't worry. It's just a nightmare. See?"

"We're going to visit Nene's parent's homeland. With that guy as our guide."

I wasn't here to give Rose a mental scar. I waved my hand toward her and told her that it was fine. Everyone looked at me with disbelief. They didn't think I would lie to Rose. Rose would figure out that I did lose my arm, but I don't want to be the one to scare her off.

"Ahem... Should I lead the way?"

Nekomaru was a considerate man. No wonder Gram chose him of all people. He knew his place very well and won't step over those boundaries.

"Go ahead."

Following where Nekomaru would take us, he took us to a farm. It was an odd choice but with nothing around. It was something he would show.

"Is that a cow?"

"No, it's a minotaur..."

The precise term was a minotaur, but that was something that I wouldn't expect the world of Winar to have. I heard that minotaur's meat was premium, something hard to get.

For Winar to have this as a farm animal, they could use these monsters for trade. I can see Nene practically drooling from the possible meat that she could have.

Other than that, nothing else excited me. The people of Winar only fought and hunted for entertainment. They lived by the rule of the wild.

"That's all for the tour... Would you like me to take you to a vacant house?"

There was a time I knew I needed an item for this occasion. I grabbed an item from my storage watch and had an automatic house setter.

After placing it on the empty ground, a house large enough for six people to live in appeared out of nowhere.

Nekomaru couldn't help but have his jaws drop seeing our beautiful house compared to the ones they lived in. It wasn't much of a flex, but this house couldn't be compared to my mansion.

"No need. As you can see, I would prefer to sleep in this house."

"Would you like a small tour? I promise it's something you have never seen before."

After giving Nekomaru a small tour, he couldn't believe what he had seen. He felt like the place he lived in was shit.

Nekomaru's shoulders sag with the tour finished after knowing he would have to leave. Since I pitied him, I will let him stay the night.
