'
Meimei! wake up!'
It was that strange voice again. That voice that was with her since she arrived in this new land nagged her to wake up, even if she just want to sleep.
'
Meimei! wake up! look, the gate is open! it is our chance to enter!'
Why did that voice want to enter that city that much? That city must be full of those humans. She was different than them. She was superior than those humans. After all, some of those other cats she met has human slaves that serve them food and scratch them where it itches, and she was better than them.
'
Meimei! come on! Let's go there!'
Will the nagging ever
stop?
'
Look! There is no one paying attention to this direction! Let's enter!'
That was it. She'll enter the stone castle of that humankind if it would stop that voice from nagging her and let her sleep. No self respecting cat doesn't have their cat nap, and she was already behind schedule with all the journey to here!
-------------
"Hey, mike. Look at that."
"Isn't that just one of those big cat? must be someone's pet wandering here. Though I wonder how did it came outside."
"It looks like it'll go inside. What if it is a monster?"
"It looks docile though. Well... let me take my spear first."
-------------
She could hear everything they said. If it was not for her nagging, she wouldn't even touch this place. It was better to hunt for the food in the forest rather than going here.
'Whaaat? How come they thought that Meimei is a monster? They had the nerve to call someone like meimei a monster?!'
Huh. But she was a monster though. something like dig... monster? what?
Her head hurt really bad. It must be that memories things that that voice said. If it always hurted like this, she would rather not try to remember at all.
'
Wait, meimei! They are coming here!'
Can that voice be calmer? She was trying to nurse her head here!
-----------------
"Hello, little kitty. Where did you came from? Where are your owner?" one of the man said. He put his hand on top of her head.
'Quick, meimei! say 'meow'!'
Troublesome. Why did she have to pretend like those lesser ones? If she was compared to them, it would be like comparing an empress to a common peasant. Why wouldn't she understand that! She has her pride too! Yeah, human, scratch that part more. a little bit lower. Right, that was the right spot. Look, strange voice. That human was useful, unlike you.
'
Meimei! just this once! please!'
Okay. Just this once. No more would she pretend like those commoner.
"Meow."
"Huh... it is really docile, see. Hey, charlie! look at its soft fur! I wonder who left this cat outside?"
She is no one's possession! She is hers!
"hmm... Is it not really a monster though? Its pupils are rather strange. And those appendages too." The other man said.
"Maybe it is. If it is, I'm thinking of taming it though. It'll be a good present for my daughter." he replied.
"If you say so. Let's go back. It's chilly."
------------
'
Adventurer guild. Are we sent to another world, meimei? Is this the so-called 'isekai'?'
Adventurer guild? could she eat that? she was feeling peckish right then. Right, one blob of something was moving there. could she eat that? When would that man stop carrying her? She wanted to try eating that!
"Michael, my pal! what brings you here? It's been a long time since you visit." A rotund man jovially said.
"Well... Jacques. I want to register this one as a tamed monster."
"Ooh. I see... I see. Myna, my dear. Can you prepare form C54 for my friend here?"
"Sure, boss. Here it is."
"Thank you, Myna. So, Michael. Here is the form for taming, on the room next door, we'll do a physiology check for this one. And after that, you return to Myna here to ask for your tamer license. If you want to prepare for a combat tamer license, you can ask Myna too."
'
Mm... we are in adventurer guild, meimei! we should totally become an adventurer!'
"Okay little kitty, can you be a dear and stay there? It won't take long, I promise."
At last, that man unhandled her. It was time to pursue that blob.
'
Meimei! Let's register as adventurer! we could hunt as many of those slimes as possible if we are an adventurer!'
Slimes?
'
Those blob thingie. I bet they are called slime! it is totally a common staple in the isekai!'
Why would she need to be an adventurer to do that though. If she was going to hunt, why would she need to get to be this adventurer?
'Meimei, if I am right, then it is kind of a pass to hunt. You know a pass right?'
Of course she knew. It is how someone could get an access to a new domain. She was one of those that have the access to the
Kernel, the deepest domain of ******* *****. She did know everything that is happening in the world before.
Her head hurt again.
'Meimei... Are you alright?'
The pain has lessened a little bit. She could think more clearly then.
'Meimei... sorry...'
She forgave the voice. It was not the voice's mistake at all.
'
So... Meimei, do you want to be an adventurer?'
If that was what was needed to hunt those, she'd do it.
'
Okay. What you need to do is to go outside, and then look for the receptionist and ask for the receptionist for how to be an adventurer. I heard one before.'
The human the voice called receptionist, which one was it?
'
I'll point her out to you.'
-------------
'
Meimei... can you speak human language?'
Of course she could. How else she understood the voice's language? She understood every language known to mankind. She, the was once the angel of mysteries. Why couldn't she, when she once held the Knowledge?
'I see... I thought you can't. It would be easier if we talked to the guard before then. Come on. It is that girl wearing blue clothes.'
"Huh... is this one someone's pet? How did it go here? I should bring it to the taming center." The receptionist said.
'
Say that you want to register as adventurer, Meimei.'
"Register..."
"Oh... You can speak? Do your tamer want to register as an adventurer?"
She nodded. It would be a bother to correct this girl's misconception.
"Oh... I see. Then, is he waiting at the taming center?"
She nodded once again.
"Okay. So you need to bring these form to him. Do you have any pen?"
She shook her head.
"Okay, you can submit the registration request at the taming center too, as both his tamer license and adventurer registration would be duplicated and sent to the relevant department, including us. You understand so far? Anyway, here is the form, and this is the pen."
Accepting the pen and the form, she began to fill the request.
"Huh, you are back here? Nevermind, I can process the request." The receptionist said.
"Oh... so your tamer is called Meiko, and one of the celestial races? I see. Form checked, and everything is right. I don't claim to understand the celestial language, but ask your tamer to translate this 'cat' to our language, okay? I could write tamer as a placeholder for the job, and later he/she can change it."

Quest Report:
'Now that we are an adventurer, let's hunt! Take some quest related to slime on that quest board, Meimei.'
At long last she could taste those blobs. Her mouth saliva already started to increase due to the anticipation.
'
Sewer huh. We saw one before outside of this building. So let's shelve the sewer idea for later.'
She agreed. Why would she want to play in the filth at all. It was better to stay clean as befitting her station.
'First thing first, the basics of adventure. We have to get a bestiary. Well, for now I'll note anything like a the slime's weakness, spawn location, et cetera. But we totally should have our bestiary.'
A slime sighted in front of her. she prepared her claw and attack it.
"X Scratch!" She called the attack name. Her claw instantly pierced its body from both sides and its body crumbled.
The slime was apparently too weak, that she lost the appetite to taste it. Her chosen child had given her Jelly before, and she thought that the body of the slime was like a jelly. It was apparently not.
'Meimei, take that core. It's our proof of subjugation!'
Core? that little ball? Why did she need to bring it?
'If what those isekai novel told me, those things will be our proof. If we do more quest, we have a larger access. And if this world is one with the status screen things, the more we hunt, the stronger we will be. Eh... Try to say 'status', meimei.'
"status."
'
Okay, nothing happened. Do this world have level?'
From then on, she decided to ignore the voice for a while, while it was rambling about fantasy world and isekai things. She took a bite on one of the core. It was strange, a mixture of sour and acidic taste filled her tongue. Since it was bad, she stopped eating that.
Her hunt continued around the city. She felt that the behavior of those slimes was similar to something green. They prefer filthy places, even if their appearance was cuter than the green thing in her mind. Were they a failed evolution?
She finished her hunt when ten core has been gathered (even if one was half eaten). The voice told her to submit these cores to the receptionist once again, therefore she went to the adventurer guild and submit these.
