Good morning, Tama.

Oh, you. Come on and snuggle some more.

W-well, she leaves me no choice. I must serve as she commands.

I only hope she enjoys this...

Mmm!

"Mmm?"

Tama, give me more...

Master, you're turning into less of an elf and more of an EILF!

Give me more!

I was once a knight.

But after an unexpected reincarnation, I am now an S-rank monster--a behemoth!

Yet despite that, I have been mistaken as a cat and taken in as a pet.

I have now sworn myself to defend my master.

Blacksmith

Vulcan's

Hello, Vulcan!

Come on in meow, Aria.

Blacksmith & C-Rank Adventurer

Vulcan

Wow, a tigris-ear blacksmith, huh?

Oh! Is that the little fur-iend I've heard about?

Sure is!

This is Tama, the baby elemental cat that I took in as a pet!

Meow, that's exotic!

Aria, can I hold him fur a bit?

Of course!

He's purrfect!

Isn't he? I never dreamed I'd meet a little cutie like him!

If we're talking dreams...

I'm the one who never imagined this!

Scooped up and pampered endlessly by my master, despite my honorable knightly origins!

So, what can I do you fur today?

I'm still working on the weapon you left me.

Right, I'm here for something else.

Vulcan, can you craft some armor for Tama?

Creature armor?!

Yes, and something extra durable!

Meow, that sounds fun!

All right!

The little feline's still growing, so we'll need some size adjustment magic.

Now for the design...

Tama, what do you say we go adventuring together?

...we'll need something that protects his important bits, but offers mobility...

But of course!

On my knighthood, I swear to defend you!

It's adorable!

I had so much fun I worked right through the nyaight.

I am beyond grateful she crafted something so brilliant in but a night!

The trouble's actually with these.

I can't even make them a whisker lighter.

They'll break fur sure.

You've reforged them so many times for me.

But I still can't wield them well...

Wonder what the purr-oblem is...

Meow, here's an idea! How about we form a tem-purr-ary party?

Huh?

Watching you swing 'em might help me make heads or tails of the problem!

Got no time fur any goblins.

She's tough!

What terrifying strength.

I've heard as much of the tigris-ears, but to see it myself...

Enchanted Flame!

What sort of skill was that?

It's an enchanted one I derived fur-om my smithing skills.

Let's me wrap dif-fur-ent elements around my armor.

Oooh, a spin-off skill!

Monstrous strength and specialized skills both?

She's seems to be quite the adventurer.

The stage is set.

Meow it's your turn, Aria!

A-against an orc?

It's so disgusting, it gives me the chills...

Acceleration!

Mrawr?

It saw that coming.

Iron Body!

Thank you, Tama...

She technically still defeated it, but...

Meow I see.

I get the feline your long swords throw you off and make your movements too simple.

She picked up on it that quick?

Please, tell me more! I want to get stronger!

In that case, the next floor down has the purr-fect monster!

Okay! I'll do my--wait...

D-Rank

Roper

Vulcan, please tell me that's not the monster you meant...

Ropers?!

If she gets caught, they'll touch her here, there, and everywhere!

Up against these, you'll have no choice but to think on your paws!

R-right...

You just watch, Tama.

Acceleration!

She can't even get close with her normal moves.

I'm not done, yet!

She's moving even faster, meow?!

There's less weighing her down, but...

Aria!

Purr-fect!

Next!

Acceleration!

She's much more mobile now... That's it!

I mew knives would be more your thing!

I can see it all!

Their attacks look slower than before.

Huh?

Meow she's done it...

Master...

You will pay for that!

Only Tama has permission for this!

She followed it up with a slice!

My newest move, Slicing Gale.

SLICING GALE

Wow! Fur-ocious!

A newly derived skill?

Equipping weapons that suit her experience proves fruitful already.

Now's my chance to steal its skills!

Blech! Talk about bitter!

It's all squishy and awful, too...

But I've still stolen its skills!

*Elemental Cat*

I took up long swords in admiration of the Sword Saint,

but I guess I wasn't cut out for them.

These, on the other hand...

Indeed! With these, you will grow strong!

I guarantee it.

I think I'll try these knives out, Tama!

Meow you should be able to head deeper into the dungeon.

But before you do...

Purr-fect time for a break!

This spot seems safe.

Everything A-rank and below steers clear of here.

All thanks to that Philosopher's Stone.

Aria?

Oh, sorry. Did you say something?

Bet you feel all gross and slimy, so let's wash up a bit.

Good thinking.

I-I will not look!

This is a dungeon! A knight mustn't let infatuations get the better of him!

Tama!

Come and bathe with me.

So tell me, what is your usual party like?

My party...

Vulcan...?

We split up.

Some of our members hooked up...

...got pregnant...

Happens to plenty parties.

You should watch your tail.

Elemental Cats can crossbreed with other creatures, you meow.

"Crossbreed?"

Now that she mentions it...

When Tama grows up and goes into heat, there's no telling what might happen.

Might even pin you down with those paws!

No, no, I'd never!

That sounds wonderful!

Tama, grow up quick for me, okay?

Then you can be my first...

We can purr and mew so much together!

We can what, now?!

Aria, my fur-iend, I never imagined this from you...

That's a minotaur...

C+ Rank

Minotaur

This is levels beyond those other monsters!

I'll be here to back you up.

Let's make this our final test of courage!

Here goes!

Acceleration!

Slicing Gale!

It's swift, but doesn't hit hard enough!

How's this fur ya?!

Aria!

Ready!

Strike one!

Strike two!

Look at that!

Strike three! Too slow!

She's faster and able to move around freely.

She's simply mystical!

A great mystery rests within Master's bosom!

What kinda aim is that?

Mrawr!

Vulcan!

Aether Howling!

Nice work, Tama!

Hooray, we did it!

I can't believe we beat a Rank C+ monster!

He saved my life...

What a powerful male...

Oh, my! Someone's been working extra hard.

Feeling accomplished today!

Hmm? Look at these cuts...

That's not Vulcan's handiwork.

Those are from Aria's fur-ocious new skill.

My little Aria?

I wasn't sure how you'd fair when you first came to town, but look at you now.

Oh, you're exaggerating.

Cheers!

Nothing beats a nip of this after some questing!

Nothing at all.

Fill me up, please!

Lady Vulcan is a drinker too, then.

Thank you so much for today!

I purr-obably should thank you.

Collected plenty of materials out there.

When did you gather up all that?

This all takes me back.

Days of questing with companions...

Okay Tama, open up!

Meow listen, whaddya say the three of us form a real party?

What?

I like how straight-fur-ward you are, and I know you'll get stronger.

Plus, someone's gotta maintain Tama's armor.

O-oh, I don't know...

I've never done this before, so I don't really know how things work...

As if there's reason to say no.

Tama...

Okay! Offer accepted, Vulcan!

Purr-fect! Glad to hear it!

Now to drink to this day!

Y-you might wanna hold back...

Nyah, I guess one day can't hurt.

Cheers to us!

To us!

I can't move.

Stop, Tama... You're going too hard.

Hey meow, I'm not...

I'm... not NOT into that sorta thing.

E-easy does it...

Times like these, it's best to focus inward!

Behemoth

Skill Absorb

What's this...

Howling Type

Evolution ready: Second Form

"Evolution ready: Second Form?!"

Does that make this my First Form?

Would this evolution skill leave me looking like a behemoth all would recognize?!

I thought if I were to grow in this form, eventually I would be outed as a monster and forced to leave my master.

But if I have free choice over evolving or not,

as long as I choose not to, I can remain by her side forever.

Tama!

It doesn't have to end...

My days adventuring alongside Master can last forever...

It's already noon, Tama.

Are you hungry for anything?

You little brat!

Bumping into me in those rags? What are you, a pickpocket?!

I-I'm sorry.

Hey, now. She ain't bad lookin'.

Bet she'd fetch a high price.

Is something the matter?

What's it to you, broad?

Sleazebags.

L-lay off, that's the Elemental Cat that nearly finished off Kasman.

Look at that, time to go already!

Pardon us!

Are you okay?

What's your name?

Lala...

Where are your parents, Lala?

Do you want to come with me?

Huh?

Master...

Didn't expect a church here.

Hey, it's Aria!

She's here!

How is everyone?

Are you here to play?

Let's eat together!

Did you bring a new friend?

I promise to look after dear Lala.

I very much appreciate it.

Everyone has been so much happier since you arrived.

Thank you, kindly.

Master leaves orphaned children in the hands of the church,

coming back to check on them, too.

What a virtuous woman.

Are you done with grown up talk?

Let's play!

I'll be right there.

Everybody's super nice, you know!

I must do everything in my power to support Master and all she works to protect!

What do you think Anna needs?

Wish I mew...

What a sight before my very eyes!

Peeping is an unspeakable offense for a knight...

But I am on guard, so I must!

Congratulations!

You've reached C-rank!

Nicely done, little Aria!

Thank you.

That is my master for you.

Congrats!

Couldn't have done it without both of you!

Oh, quit being modest. I know you've been making extra great progress.

Mrrhmm!

H-hey...

N-n-no, I-I-I...

Gimme a break!

What's the fuss?

Purr-haps an emergency quest?

Word is there have been growing disappearances in the nearby town of Lenard.

All at the hands...

...of demons, they say.

Demons?!

If they're moving in the open, does this mean they're planning something?

They've taken children, adults- anyone they find.

So far none have returned.

I won't stand for it.

Anna, tell me everything you know.

Next Time

Episode 3

Urgent Quest - Defeat the Demons!

The key to a good party is getting to meow your companions.

Any questions?

Yes! Are tigris-ears descendants of humans and tigers?

Was there crossbreeding? I've got to know!

Pulling no paw-nches, huh?
