“So what if you have a cat? Don’t get all cocky. I’ll remind you of your place like I did yesterday.”
…I seriously contemplated whether this guy has any learning ability.
No, how could he even think of challenging me after seeing that destructive beam?
“What, are you worried that beam might have scared me? Go on, buddy. Who doesn’t know that you can’t fire such a thing repeatedly?”
Ah, indeed. With that mindset, I understood to some extent.
Everyone believes that all beings have a limit to their power.
Given that she blocked countless attacks with her barrier, one might assume Lily had run out of strength.
However, there is one exception to the limits of power.
That is, God.
Who would’ve thought, right?
This adorable kitten purring in my arms is actually an outsider.
There was a way to let things pass peacefully…
“Alright. Whatever.”
“Hah! You little brat. You’re bursting with confidence, aren’t you?”
I’m not exactly a saint.
Requesting Lily to refrain from killing was close to minimal conscience.
Naturally, I disliked Louis.
Who could possibly like someone who’s been tormenting them for over a year?
Louis and I stared at each other while putting distance between us.
“Hey! Louis and Arthur are going to duel!”
“Oh, then we’ll get to see that d*ath beam again?”
“Meow d*ath Beam!”
As the students gathered, the professor approached upon realizing the situation.
A murmuring sound reached my ear.
-Arthur, do you hear me?
It was Professor Lakert. Looking around, I spotted the tall professor beyond the wall of students.
Despite the distance, magic made the professor’s voice sound as if he were right next to me.
-I’m saying it again. If that beam is aimed at a student, you’ll be immediately eliminated. Even reducing its power to a hundredth could easily k*ll someone. Give proper orders.
Upon hearing this, I whispered to Lily as I lifted her up.
“Lily. It’ll be a big problem if you k*ll him. Please let him live.”
“I understand. Trust me.”
“Please. I trust you, Lily.”
I kissed her soft ear and gently placed her on the ground.
“Are you done with your last words, troll?”
Louis was warming up and preparing his spell.
“Destroy him, Louis!”
“Instantly wipe out that troll!”
The surrounding students shouted. Though most would typically side with Louis, this time was different.
“Go! Meow d*ath Beam!”
“Come on, Kitty!”
“KYAA! Look at that tail!”
…Is this the power of a cat? Incredible?
“Let me signal for fairness.”
Professor Lakert’s voice cut through the students’ commotion, amplified by magic.
My and Louis’ gazes met in mid-air.
Louis wore a confident smirk.
‘… Maybe breaking bones would be alright?’
“Ready.”
It was an intense moment… but Lily was casually yawning.
“KYAA! So cute!”
“Look at the red inside her mouth! So adorable~”
…Lily, are you enjoying yourself?
“Start!”
At the professor’s shout, Louis summoned a chain.
“Familiar, isn’t it? Why don’t we have you dragged around like a dog in front of everyone?”
-Clang clang
The chain stretched toward my neck. But…
-Twang
It bounced off the sudden barrier that appeared where there was nothing before.
“Haha! So the best you can do is hide behind a cat. Let’s see how long you can last-”
At that moment, Louis’ confident expression as he spun the chain suddenly contorted.
“Ugh…! Y-you… what did you do…!”
Excuse me? Me? I didn’t do anything…
Confusedly looking around, I saw Lily approach and rub her face against my shin.
Just in case, I lifted her near my ear.
“Do you remember what I said before?”
“You’ll help me, right?”
“Not that. About that human.”
Regarding Louis…
Louis was grimacing, forcibly recalling his chain and trembling. His hands were low on his stomach, and he was putting force on his hips… Ah.
It overlaps with the scene in bed a few days ago when Lily asked for permission.
‘As long as I don’t k*ll him…’
‘I was thinking of making his belly hurt a bit.’
…Seriously?!
Upon figuring out the situation, I silently prayed for his peace.
No matter how much he tormented and hit me, this is something that even an archenemy should be forgiven for.
“Kyeeeeeeck!!”
Louis curled his body as much as possible in an attempt to endure, but it had no effect.
“What’s going on? Why is he like that?”
“Yama, Louis! What are you doing?”
The more the students’ attention gathered, the more Louis’ face turned pale.
Finally, Lily whispered in my ear like an announcement.
“Plug your nose, Arthur.”
“Got it.”
Soon…
“Kyaaaaaaack!!”
Along with a pitiable cry…
-Squish squish… squelch… plop plop
The training ground was filled with even more pitiable sounds.
The students, who initially didn’t understand the sound but eventually did…
“Eugh! What’s this?”
“Kyaa! The smell!”
“Ugh!”
A terrible smell spread throughout the crowd, causing the students to cover their noses and step back.
“Kyeeeh…”
Louis’ waist bent like a bow.
Finally, after Louis had emptied his bowels, everyone around him had disappeared.
All the students had fled, and even the professor, who was waiting to protect him from Lily’s attack, pinched his nose and kept his distance.
As everyone looked at Louis in shock, Lily said,
“There’s more.”
More? …Oh dear.
The crotch area of Louis’ fancy silk pants was turning yellow, and water was pooling around his feet.
“…”
“…”
“…”
A moment of silence passed…
“Phew!”
Someone’s small laugh was the starting point…
“PhahahahaHAHAHAHA!”
“Phah! What’s going on?”
“Kyaa! It’s disgusting!”
Laughter erupted from all sides.
“Eeek! The stench is overpowering!”
“What the heck did he eat? The smell is toxic!”
“Urgh… It’s disgusting.”
Even I…
“Phew…! Ah, I shouldn’t laugh- Phooah!”
How can I not burst out laughing?
“Meow!”
Lily rubbed her head against my cheek, asking for praise.
“You’re the best, Lily!”
I enthusiastically petted her head.
“Nya~”
Lily narrowed her eyes and purred contentedly.
Scorn, humiliation, contempt.
Louis received all of it at once and now had a face red like a well-ripened apple.
It was Professor Lakert who came to his rescue.
“…Go wash up, Louis.”
Louis, his face bowed deeply, ran toward the main building… with a trail of urine.
Seeing him go, I vowed once again.
When I get back to the dorm, I’ll give Lily a heartfelt kiss to show my gratitude.
—
“Hmm… use such curses moderately from now on.”
“Understood.”
I’d also, you know, prefer not to verify what others have eaten.
Professor Lakert, after sending Louis away, called me aside and gave me a bit of a warning.
Since the lethal power of the curse is greatly reduced, he didn’t reprimand me harshly.
Lily said it was a curse of diarrhea and urinary incontinence on Louis.
Normally, it’s a curse that lasts for a long time, slowly taking effect, but if you strengthen it all at once, it ends up like what happened just now…
I barely managed to suppress my laughter in front of the professor but burst out laughing as soon as I left the office.
I hugged Lily and praised her once again.
“Lily, you’re the best!”
“Nya~!”
And so, carrying on with such antics until the next class, I finally managed to calm down as I entered the lecture room.
The rumors had already spread, as the students’ eyes were focused on me.
“That’s the one…”
“Look away! If you look, you’re in for public punishment!”
“Kyaa, the kitten is so cute~”
…What is this “public punishment”?
It seems the rumors have drawn attention in the wrong direction.
After sitting down for a while, I still felt the gazes.
‘Hmm… Should I consider this as becoming more popular?’
At least my notoriety has increased.
“Arthur!”
-Smack!
“Kyaaaaak!!”
An unexpected smack to the back made me cry out strangely and bash my forehead into the desk.
The dual pain from my back and forehead made me sway, but Riti grabbed and shook me.
“What, what? What did you see just now? I’ve never seen something like that!”
“Ri, Riti… I’m dizzy…”
“Ah, sorry.”
At the same moment of apology, her hands let go.
By the way, while being shaken, I was suddenly let go. That means…
-WHAM!
I fell violently with my chair.
“Kyaa! Are you okay, Arthur?!”
This guy… there won’t be anything left of my body if I stay with him…
“Meoww!!”
Lily jumped into my arms and created a barrier between Riti and me.
She looked at me carefully with her moist eyes.
“I’m fine, Lillim.”
This degree of damage is nothing for me.
While petting Lily’s head and calming down, I turned to Riti.
“You should be more careful. What kind of girl are you, getting so rowdy… One day you’ll end up being dragged away!”
“You only get this treatment. Don’t worry about it!”
“…That, that’s not very comforting, you know?”
Just as Riti was about to say another word, the professor entered, so she returned to her seat first.
While enjoying some healing by petting Lily’s fur, Riti poked me.
“What?”
If it’s an unnecessary or weird (especially suggestive) story, I’ll instantly make a barrier wall.
“Louis. Do you know what happened after?”
Oh, that is somewhat interesting.
As I showed interest, Riti continued excitedly.
“Leaving behind a trail of piss, he ran inside, and they say he didn’t come out of the restroom for a long time.”
Yeah, he must’ve been dirty all over.
“That’s right. He had to clean his clothes.”
“No, it wasn’t about the clothes.”
Hmm? Then what?
“They say, after he went in, there was a continuous sound of him pooping.”
…
“They say he pooped for a long time and came out wearing new clothes provided by his butler, only to go back in.”
Is the curse not lifted yet… Ah.
Lily did mention it was a curse that slowly takes effect. So…
“Maybe he’ll continue like this for a while?”
“You did this? For real?!”
While stroking Lily, I said,
“It’s all Lillim’s power. I put a curse of diarrhea on Louis.”
“Is that curse safe?”
“…Maybe?”
I don’t know. It’s an intense curse from an outsider. I wonder how long it will last…
“Kikikik Arthur was always troubling you. He got what he deserved.”
Riti laughed as if it were satisfying.
“Let his tail end get wiped raw.”
…What a cruel one.
—
After class ended and I returned to my room, I immediately asked Lily.
“How long will the curse on Louis last?”
To that, Lily replied with a meaningful smile.
“How long do you wish it to last?”
Oh, so that’s how it is. Then…
“Hmm. If it continues with just diarrhea, he might d*e from dehydration.”
“Then?”
“Are there any constipation curses?”
Lily silently smirked.
“I’ll make it a curse that changes symptoms every fortnight.”
Typical of Lily when asked for something big.
Speaking of which, I remembered my previous vow and held Lily.
With gratitude towards the lovely outsider before me…
-Cheek kiss
The shadows of the two of us overlapped due to the magical lamp’s light.
Looking into Lily’s eyes, I whispered sincerely.
“Thank you, Lily. I love you.”
And Lily replied gently with a smile.
“Me too.”
