Chapter 31: The Drunk Man has a Hidden quest!

Arthur's eyebrow twitched as he listened to the old man's reason. "Special?"

The old man nodded vigorously, his gaze darting nervously toward Neko. "Yes, very special," he insisted. "That companion of yours... you're no ordinary adventurer. And, well, I do have a problem that needs solving."

Hearing the old man's words, Arthur's expression remained neutral, but inside, a smile crept into his thoughts.

'Neko is something else,' he mused. 'I just got a hidden mission by hanging out with her. This old guy probably thinks Neko will help me achieve something amazing for him, hehe.'

Arthur glanced at the indifferent cat lazing on his shoulder.

'If only he knew the truth,' he thought, suppressing an inward chuckle.

'She's just a lazy ass cat who barely moves unless it's to sunbathe or dodge my attempts to pet her.'
