Chapter 52: The Twin-tailed Daughter I Didn't Meet by Chance
The cat in appearance - Kate Isabella, was eating the cake given by that person, and at the same time was ordered to continue to observe everything about that person.
"Yoshi, today is my time to go on patrol. If I'm not here, I might be targeted. Come take a walk with me." The man saw that it was still licking the cake after eating it, so he picked it up and left it.
The attic of the guard dormitory building that serves as one of the strongholds.
"Hey, Kirito, are you okay? It's not okay to be late!" the man's companion below shouted.
"Eugeo? Oh, it's ready!"
"Kirito, do you really want to bring it?"
"Well, although walking pets at work is not allowed, it's no problem if there happens to be an animal following. This little guy is also very spiritual." The man touched its head and said.
"You still call me little guy, shouldn't you come up with a name?"
"Hey... let's call it cat, which means 'cat' in the sacred language."
"You are too casual..."
Although Eugeo's companion complained and was speechless often, he was very satisfied this time. It was exactly the same as what his master had seen.
The job of guards patrolling the avenue in groups of two or three is to deal with problems that may endanger the lives of pedestrians within the patrol area. Depending on the situation, it may be easy or it may be dangerous.
It is not surprising that those two people, as commoners, were pushed into a more troublesome area by nobles who wanted to live an easy life through connections in the guards.
However, the two of them did not join other teammates, and worked hard without complaint. Occasionally killing wild beasts and Warcraft, sometimes encountering or directly cooperating with other teams to kill more powerful Warcraft. That person seemed to have the habit of rushing to grab a fatal blow when the Warcraft's destiny was exhausted.
, he was awarded the best meat award from the guards and was jealous of some people.
Sometimes they even help people who are riding a carriage with a broken axle, etc. Although it does not violate the "Taboo Index" yet, based on long-term experience, it seriously suspects that the two of them are deliberately leveling up.
There is a "prohibition of overwork" clause in the "Taboo Index". On the one hand, it actually sympathizes with the workers and prevents them from being overly exploited by the nobles; on the other hand, it also prevents them from leveling up in situations that may threaten the rule of the master.
A win-win law. However, matters of the level of "overwork" are not as easy for the Senate to detect as serious crimes such as injury crimes and border crossing crimes.
Since it was invited to patrol together this time, it must confirm with its own eyes whether these two were overworked. If so, it could not protect them and must immediately call the integrity knights to capture them.
But it seemed quite peaceful today, and I encountered no pedestrians or wild animals along the way.
Just when we were about to enter the Centoria annex area, and it was getting dark and we were about to turn back, we received a call from our master.
It's not a routine contact, it's a mission.
Hmm? Leave the current scope of activities and take action against that "meatball cat"? Test their thinking about the breakthrough level of their actions?
"Meow——" it yelled and ran across the patrol range of the two people towards the annexed territories of other nobles living in Centoria.

"Wait, Kate! Are you frightened?"
Kirito was about to catch up, but Eugeo held him back. Although he hesitated a little, he still said: "It's not our patrol range any further."
"But when I was suddenly frightened, something might have happened."
Eugeo thought for a while and recalled: "Ah, I was saved once. If it hadn't screamed for me to stop and look back, I would have been hit by a frightened horse running wildly. But that... wasn't
Coincidence that he was spooked by the horse earlier?"
"Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho!"
The roar of beasts came from that direction.
"This feels...a ferocious beast, no...a magical beast!" Kirito immediately crossed the line with his legs.
"Ah, I knew this would happen, but when the time comes, you will be scolded and take the main responsibility." Eugeo caught up and said.
"That's cool, partner."
The "Taboo Index" stipulates that even this trivial matter will not be included in the rules of the Guards. There are punishment items in this area, but at most they are doing more physical work and deducting wages based on the division of responsibilities.
"However, if Kirito you have difficulty in living because of this, I will help as much as possible." Eugeo added.
"Thank you very much."
At this time, a female voice came from the forest where the roar came from: "Alulu, Alulu! Where is it?"
"Is there anyone there?" Kirito and Eugeo turned around and started running.
Soon, they saw the real owner of the shouting - a silver-grey girl with neck length and double ponytails who was dressed as an aristocrat. She was about the same age as them, maybe a year or two younger.
"Hey, what are you doing? There are monsters around here, it's very dangerous!" Kirito shouted.
"Huh? Are you the guards of my territory? You came just in time. Help me find Alulu." The girl ordered directly.
"Alu is you...your friend or relative?" Kirito asked quickly.
"Huh? Are you new here? Everyone knows that Alulu is my beloved cat."
"What does the cat... look like?" Kirito immediately wondered if it was Kate, but listening to the girl's colorful and loving description, it was obvious that it wasn't.
But could it be that Kate was frightened because a cat of her own species was in danger?
At this time, several wild beasts came galloping through the trees and shrubs.
"Hey, it's not hunting time now, I don't have time to care about you." The girl complained and walked towards a tree not far away.
"What are you doing? We're here to support you! Run!" Eugeo was anxious. This girl was a noble, but she didn't look like the kind of noble noble she'd seen before. He couldn't just watch.
But Kirito took a look at where she was going and stopped him as he was about to rush forward and grab her.
"How dare you order me? Civilian, I have to exercise my right of decision. I will deal with you later." The girl said, reaching out and taking down a two-meter-long object leaning against the tree.
Because of the angle of his vision, Eugeo thought it was a shovel or something like that, but to his surprise, the long and narrow wooden part in the lower half turned out to be a scabbard.
The girl pulled out a huge black-gray cedar sword that was one-third longer than her height and as wide as a broad-bladed sword. The angle of the blade was unusually large. It was not so much a sword as it was a rhombus-shaped tip.
Wooden stick (similar to the weapon called "mace" in China in another time and space).
"Let me use the secret [Tianshan Liebo] to finish you off in one go!"
The girl raised the giant sword high above her head and tilted it at a slight angle. The red light and the flashing light like fireworks converged on the sword, and then she slashed it down to the lower left.
Eugeo wondered why she was slashing towards the ground. Could it be that she was trying to use a cover-up method to stir up dust when facing a wild beast?
