Another World Trip: Journey with My Cat and an Otaku Loli Goddess Chapter 242 - Take It

Mina who was still engrossed in the manga chose to give her own two cents on the matter. “To be fair, within a few minutes of meeting Long Di the urge to draw weapons is understandable.”

****

Nao Shan was the one who chose to explain their actions, “Lady Yaomu Shou I can only assume you’re not aware, but this Long Di is a heinous criminal who is supposed to be killed on sight!”

I paid special attention to this Nao Shan not because of his riveting personality, but because of his appearance.

This is a demon that I’ve seen before, actually.

He was a Gu demon, just like Commander Da Jun back in Thousand Emo Valley. The only difference was that the disciple here was a pure-blooded Gu demon, and it showed based on how his bone spurs were aligned.

Gu demons, or rather pure-blooded Gu demons and not the ones of mongrel or mixed blood that the Commander was known to be, were a prominent clan of the demon race. Yaomu Shou talks about this stuff a lot so I learn things from her that I normally wouldn’t give a damn about.

Nao Shan had black bone spurs that ran along the ridge of his back, in addition to smaller bone spurs that took residence where hair normally would have been.

The way they grew made it seem like he had the thickest locks of hair that would make even the most adept of Rastafarians nod in admiration. Now I know that comparison might seem random but I have been in some less than mainstream parts of the internet.

If one looked closely, one could see faint runes on each bone spur. These were bloodline runes unique to those of the Gu demon lineage.

It was nothing like Commander Da Jun who was of mixed blood. His bone spurs were far more brittle compared to Nao Shan, and he had little to no runes either.

“Just get away from us!” Nao Shan yelled.

“Do you really want to do this?” I asked him before raising my hand.

“W-What are you planning to do!?” Everyone backed off when they saw my actions.

“You spoke like you’re different from the rest of the humans, but all you do is bully the weak! All you said before is useless sophistry! You’re just like the—”

Nao Shan’s words caught in his throat when he saw that all I did with my hand was pick my nose. I guess cultivation can’t stop boogers from being a thing. Good to know, but annoying to experience.

“You! You’re making fun of us! Are you taking us for fools!?” Nao Shan roared.

I continued to pick my nose before responding, “Far be it from me to take the jobs from the professionals.”

Not just Nao Shan, everyone present shivered in anger. I guess they don’t dare to do more than that.

I guess single-handedly wiping out an overlord class rank 4 magical beast does wonderful things for the protagonist.

“You dare to ignore me!? Sheathe your weapons and stand down, all of you!” barked Yaomu Shou.

Shing!

Her sword was unsheathed in an instant.

D-D-Dum!

Her cauldrons exploded in being much like her fury as they spun in a furious tempo!

Five cauldrons housed a core that shone with brilliance. They continuously flashed as if emulating her wrath.

Nao Shan, Yaomu Baiyin, Hui Haohan, and the others trembled under her fury. Her aura ground them down and forced them to take continuous steps back.

Her face was an even deeper shade of purple as rage dominated her features.

Disrespect was something that she didn’t experience all that often it seems. Man, these guys are in so much trouble.

Her eyes flashed with fiery rage as she gnashed her teeth in anger.

Hui Haohan swallowed loudly as he spoke in a trembling voice. “L-L-Lady Yaomu S-S-Shou, h-he is a c-c-crimin–”

“So you can stand while speaking to me now! Impressive!” she sneered at them in disdain.

They all fell to their knees, Yaomu Baiyin included. Instantly, the pressure they suffered lessened greatly though it was still there.

“Heed my words!” she hissed before giving any of them a chance to speak. “Long Di is my friend and as such you WILL–”

Before she could say anything more, I dragged her by the arm pulling her behind me.

When the others saw this, their hearts nearly stopped.

It seems I’m doing things that not a lot of people are brave enough to do.

“What are you–!?” cried Yaomu Shou in an unwilling tone as her chest heaved up and down.

“Shush.”

“I–”

“I said shush.”

“Hmph!” she crossed her arms and looked off to the side.

Nao Shan and the others stared at the scene before them in disbelief. Not like I cared.

“You shouldn’t have to waste your words on them since it doesn’t matter,” I told her. “You’re forcing them to submit to you or the sentence passed down by the King. That’s unfair in more ways than one.”

She was obviously not resigned to this. “Then what do we d–”

“Leave,” Mina spoke interjected while not looking up.

“That’s a good idea. Besides, I got a good harvest anyway.”

Hearing this, Nao Shan nearly tripped over himself before stumbling over towards me.

“You’re not leaving with that sabre! We all fought against the Mammoth Thunder Rhino!”

“Thunder Dragon Rhino,” I corrected him. “And allow me to say that the shamelessness required to utter those lines demands respect.”

I’m being serious too, I thought my shame tree was thriving, but no, compared to Nao Shan, his shame tree was a sprawling woodland complete with fairies, rainbows and every 5-year-old girl’s inner fantasy.

“Argh!”

Yaomu Shou lunged at Nao Shan, causing him to fall flat on his butt in fear before I caught her mid-flight and kept her safely ensconced in my arm.

“Let me go, Long Di! I’ll only kill him a little bit! His heart will only completely stop I swear!” she snarled like a mad dog compelling me to tighten my hold.

However, I made an offer that stumped everyone and I swear they are far more stupid than I thought they were, since they took it seriously.

“Go ahead and take it. I won’t stop you.” I told them.

“What!?”
