Peek-A-Meow [Part 2]
“Because Koumei-san came along, William could make his hunting debut, which was great, but… consequently, the monsters were so many…”
♠ (-enter flashback-)♠
“Mew!”
Koumei, who didn’t want to concede and believed strongly that ‘Emma’s guardian is me,‘ came with the family to the extracurricular lesson.
The other three cats also pleaded that they wanted to go, but as one could expect, hiding four giant cats would be quite a tough challenge.
Still, Koumei didn’t back down no matter how the family tried to dissuade her.
“Meow meow meow!”
Koumei brought the notice about the extracurricular lesson and began her presentation while pointing her forepaw at the last line written on the notice.
“Er… Households with hunting dogs trained for hunting may bring up to one hunting dog…?”
“Hunting dogs?”
“Meow mew!”
“She said hunting cats.”
Emma interpreted the proud Koumei’s words as usual.
“ “ “I see.” ” ”
Well then, problem solved. The family was glad.
It was several days ago that the maid Martha looked on anxiously at the happy-go-lucky smiles of her employers.
Martha thought,
‘Nobody in this family thought it was strange for a cat to be able to read and understand letters…’

“Come on, all of you. Hurry and start preprocessing the monsters. If you don’t do it efficiently, it won’t be finished by breakfast, you know?”
‘It can’t be helped,’ Melsa sighed as she rolled up her sleeves and instructed her children. ‘I’m sure my husband and brother-in-law will return with a large number of monsters soon.’
♠♠♠
Hunters of Skyte who had finished their breakfast looked at the leisurely figures of the students participating in the extracurricular lesson and thought, ‘Sure enough, it will be like this…’ Although such a sight, deep down, made the hunters feel sick and tired, they tried hard not to let it show on their faces.
Everyone was told to pitch their tents in front of the forest on purpose to let them personally experience the harshness of camping. However, these students were all nobles. That fact wouldn’t change even if this place were the borderland bordering the barrier.
The tents were of a luxurious model that was far from being portable.
Except for one family, each family had their servants deliver every meal from an inn a little far away and had everything from clothing to baths taken care of.
If it were like this, it would be no different than a normal vacation.
The rule that stipulated one student could be accompanied by two guardians was also made so there would be not-so-frequent visits, unlike now.
“Lord, another carriage came. Although this place is surrounded by forests, it is still close to the border of the barrier…”
The hunter frowned at several carriages that made a rattling sound. It was as if nobody was nervous or felt a sense of danger in front of this forest, where monsters could appear at any moment.
“It is widely known that monsters hunt down not only humans but also domesticated animals, etc. Even if it were only carriages, I hope they would stop coming and going here…”
The ones who drew the carriages were normal horses. They were different from the specially trained horses hunters rode on the hunting ground. They would throw off and kick their riders flying when surprised by monsters that suddenly appeared, which were far from being capable of hunting.
“The number of monsters this year is far more than average. I’ve been able to turn a blind eye until now, but I will have everyone refrain from sending carriages back and forth during the extracurricular lesson in Skyte this time… or so I’ve been thinking, but…”
The Lord of Skyte seemed to be wavering about something as he listened to his anxious hunters. After all, the carriages from House Stuart, the lord of Palace, where monsters appeared the most in the Kingdom, came and went the most frequently among other students’ carriages. They excelled more at handling monsters than he and his team of Skyte hunters. Thus, he found it rather difficult to bring himself to complain to the family who shot such a vicious Roc down with one arrow. Or rather, you could say that he was already tired of playing the straight man these past few days for this family.
