"Uh... seems like nothing's wrong? Meow?"
Instead of both of them falling to the ground as expected, Wenlong landed safely after bouncing off something soft, like a cushion.
"It turns out having a big chest has its benefits... meow..."
As for Catherine, although she was hit by Wenlong, she managed to steady herself and catch him firmly, only stepping back half a step before completely stabilizing her stance.
"This is probably because Catherine often uses a greatsword to block attacks. The force of the enemy's attack is transmitted through the greatsword to her body... After doing this many times, she seems to have developed a good understanding of how to dissipate the transmitted force and how to quickly transfer this force through her body to the ground to reduce the burden on her body. And to be able to do this unconsciously, she must be quite talented..." Wenlong thought to himself.
"Wow, Mr. Cat, it's really great that you're okay, I was so worried!"
Seeing that Wenlong was unharmed, Catherine hugged him tightly again.
"Wait... I can't breathe again... meow..."
At this moment, Wenlong finally realized a fact: every time Catherine hugged him tightly, the feeling was actually more uncomfortable than when he had directly crashed into her chest. This meant that the force of her hug was actually greater than the force of the rapid collision.
"Meow, what the... So all these times I haven't been strangled to death by this woman because of the cushioning effect?"
Thinking about this, Wenlong broke out in a cold sweat.
"Alright, stupid woman, quickly let go of this lord! Meow!"
Wenlong struggled and jumped out of Catherine's embrace.
After landing, Wenlong looked around and noticed that the emerald-haired royal scholar, Lindis, was not by Catherine's side.
"Where is that royal scholar Lindis? Meow?" Wenlong asked.
"Lindis has already gone back to take care of Mr. Claude, but she said that if she has time later, she will visit and hopes to discuss the topic of the Star Dragon with you," Catherine replied.
"So she's already gone back..."
At this moment, Da Hui and Xiao Hui also came over.
"It's really great that the hero is unharmed, meow!" Da Hui said.
"If the hero were injured, we would feel guilty for the rest of our lives, meow!" Xiao Hui said.
"Hmph, how could this lord be so easily injured?" Wenlong said, "Alright, this mission is basically completed, we need to hurry back to Mirad Village to turn in the mission, meow."
"The hero is going back to Mirad Village... right?" Da Hui and Xiao Hui said together.
At this moment, Wenlong noticed that Da Hui and Xiao Hui were staring at him, as if they had something to say.
So Wenlong said, "If not going back to Mirad Village, what else can we do? Do you have something to say? Meow?"
"No, no, we absolutely don't want to trouble you," Da Hui said, "But just now, Xiao Hui and I discussed it, and we both decided that we want to follow the hero! Meow!"
"Yes, I also think so. If we can follow the hero, it will be our greatest honor! Meow!" Xiao Hui also said.
"You want to follow this lord?"
Looking at Da Hui and Xiao Hui's serious request to follow him, Wenlong began to weigh the pros and cons in his mind.
"Actually, the farm will need someone to manage it in the future, and recruiting two Elu cats is necessary. These two Elu cats, being selected as members of the Hunter's Guild Elu Cat Rescue Team, must be quite brave. This way, even if I go out hunting in the future, the farm won't be bothered by monsters..."
"Of course, hiring Elu cats also requires payment, but that small amount of money is nothing compared to what I will earn in the future. However..."
After thinking for a while, Wenlong asked again.
"But what about your work at the Hunter's Guild? The Elu Cat Rescue Team isn't something you can just join casually. Is it really good to leave the Elu Cat Rescue Team to follow me? Meow?"
"No problem, we have already thought it through carefully. In the entire Elu cat world, only you have achieved such great accomplishments. If we don't follow you, who else can we follow? Meow," Da Hui said.
Then Xiao Hui added, "And because of our mistake, the work cart is already broken. If we go back to the Hunter's Guild now, we will definitely be scolded. It's better to follow the hero, as it has a brighter future, meow."
"Hmm... I see... I understand your intentions, but I have to say this: following this lord won't be easy, and if you don't do well, I will fire you, meow!"
"Please rest assured, hero, we will do our best! Meow!" Da Hui and Xiao Hui responded in unison to Wenlong.
"Alright, very good. From now on, you are this lord's subordinates, meow!"
At this moment, Catherine also came over.
"Eh, Mr. Cat, are you going to recruit Elu cats?"
"What, do you have a problem with this lord recruiting two subordinates?"
"Of course not, the cuter the Elu cats, the better," Catherine said, "I've wanted many Elu cats for a long time, but I was a bit worried that Mr. Cat would be unhappy."
"What could make me unhappy? Meow?" Wenlong asked, puzzled.
"Because I'm afraid that if I hug other Elu cats, Mr. Cat would be jealous."
"No, no, I'm not jealous, and besides, most Elu cats can't withstand being hugged by you, meow!" Wenlong quickly explained.
"Don't worry, Mr. Cat, my embrace is only for you, because I like Mr. Cat the most!"
"Y-Yes... but I've already said I'm not jealous, and I don't mind if you hire a few Elu cats to help, as long as it's within our income, meow..."
"Really, there's no need to worry. I won't hire other Elu cats, just having Mr. Cat is enough!"
"I'm really not jealous, and I'm not worried at all, meow!"
...
Thus, Wenlong and Catherine walked back to Mirad Village, arguing continuously, while behind them, Da Hui and Xiao Hui were whispering to each other.
"The relationship between the hero and Miss Catherine is really good, meow."
"Yeah, it's really a harmonious relationship, meow."
