High-Class Mob
/ High-Class Mob 59 59. The Kid, The Cat, and the The Food
Colt looked at the situation with both bewilderment and interest in his eyes. As he swallowed a spoonful he commented, "I bet on the hu…"
"Nya!?"
"…The Great Cats for the win. Go Fluff, take back what is rightfully yours."
Fluff turned its head towards the humans and as the child looked at the danger that is the six cats, it gave no shit and took a bite off the meat.
"Yum!" A simple word escaped the child's mouth and as the cats saw the irredeemable damage caused by the child, Fluff and the other five charged forth!
The fight had begun! The guards did nothing to stop the fight as they all watched with interest, some were betting to the grand battle that is before them.
The grueling was filled with bloodlust as the fight became more and more intense every time the feral child took a bite of the meat. The roars of the cats exploded and brandished their claws!
"Hoaaa! Fury…not lose to cats!"
"Nyaaa!" [For the meat!]
The roars on both sides intensified as time went forth and, in the end, the victor was decided. The cats won, but at what price? The meat had been damaged, only a third of it remained.
As they stood at the battered body of the feral child and took back what is theirs, the cats won the fight but lost the war. Their hatred grew and as Fluff walked towards the feral kid, it readied itself to finish the fight.
The child looked at the eyes of Fluff, and the smirked as it roared!
"I regret nothing!"
"Myaaaa!"
Pat!
"Okay that's enough, leave the food and go to Mina. She cooked some food for you guys."
Fluff was lightly tapped on its head as Colt crouched down while holding a plate of another serving of meat. Fluff and the five cats turned to look at Mina who had finished cooking in the midst of the grand duel for supremacy.
The cats' expression bloomed but as they all turned their heads back to the child all of them snorted at the loser.
"Myaaa!" Fluff did not forget to say some last words before heading to Mina's side for some food they deserved.
Colt looked at them leave with light steps as he now turned to the kid, "The cats said you're lucky that I arrived here on time else they would have cut you down…you still hungry, kid?"
The feral looking kid looked at Colt with his head still on the ground and nodded after some time. Slowly, he got up and accepted the food he was given.
"Thank you." He said as he began gobbling up the food he was given. The meat on the plate was several times more than what he had stolen from the cats. With a satisfied expression on his face, no one could stop him from eating now.
"It seems like you are capable of speech and some manners. Kid, do you have a name?"
"Fury." He stated as he ate with delight.
'Still doesn't ring a bell. He has no surname so he's not from nobility.'
After reading a lot of stories, like novels, webtoons and mangas, Leo had developed an eye that can see through a possible major character. And from the oversized cloth the kid treats as a shirt, Colt could tell that he bores an immense strength.
Those brisk hair and unique pair of eyes that radiate power, Colt could tell that this kid was someone important for the plot. Also, the name Fury is not given to a mere mob character who will not do anything. So, Colt is pretty sure this kid is an important character from his name alone.
But there is one thing that worries Colt, and that is he could not tell if he was a future villain or some hero that appeared beyond Vol. 6, he is simply clueless.
The only information he has about Vol. 6 and above is through spoilers found in reviews and his own speculation. However, Colt could not remember anyone that could fit this child before him.
In the end, Colt could only use the only reasonable thing he can do in a situation where he does not know who's who and that is to befriend them.
'I can't risk dying because I don't know the enemy.' In any story, a young master such as he can get taken down because he mistook the MC or a member of MCs crew for a small fry when he himself is the small fry.
Colt doesn't want to end up like that. He need not be taught a lesson by anyone, he knows his place. So, when he got to this world unless someone is being an actual asshole who knows not control his temper or act like a proper intellectual being then Colt will not do anything that will beget a beating.
"Fury, huh, what are you doing in this place? This is a place where no there is no beast or hunt so…are you traveling"
Fury nodded his head, "Fury is traveling from South to North and back to prove himself as a Great Warrior. Fury is currently on the way back home, three weeks remained before the mission ends so I must not tarry!"
"A mission to return and a great warrior, huh? Then…the fight with cats?"
"Fury was merciful and was hungry! Fury had not eaten for three days now!"
"NYA!" someone was naturally discontent with Fury's words.
"The cat said bullshit…ignore the cats, you stole their food so please don't fight anymore, okay?"
A fight was about to erupt once again, but
Fury nodded his head as he controlled his anger.
'This kid is not a villain.' Colt could conjecture that much because he was acting obediently, however, there are still some things he could not let go, 'There are villains who are kind so…the chances are pretty high, ugh! I can't tell what side he's on."
He was still torn on what side the kid was on, but in the end, Colt simply shrugged it off as he observed the kid some more.
From what Colt could observe, Fury was a child whose fist has been tempered. He carries no weapon with him so he must also be a barehanded specialist. A pugilist he is.
Fury finished his food and then abruptly stood up, he bowed to Colt and rest and then said, "Fury is thankful for the food, I wish to repay this kindness you have given me but I must return to my home. Please, inform me of my benefactor's name so I know who I must see to repay in the future."
"It's Colt Edgeworth, I am of the Regalus Kingdom."
"Fury shall remember thy name, but Fury cannot rest now for the journey is still long…the food was delicious, this is farewell."
Fury bowed once again and then left in a hurry causing Colt to have a weird expression on his face.
'Well, it seems like the kid is a whirlwind. I just hope you don't become trouble later.' Colt hoped for the best outcome.
He didn't expect Fury to leave as fast as he arrived. But this is also good for him as this will erase any trouble that may arise from this meeting.
That weird night however is not a simple one for Colt, and as he remembers that night, he would always curse it for different reasons.
And after the kid disappeared, their travels did not last long as they reached their destination.
