Chapter 59: Rain Ritual

"Where are you going?" Noir asked when Rino got up. Wasn't this a little too soon to be leaving him after their long separation? The last time he was here, Rino was extremely clingy.

The lich patted him and scratched him behind the ears before searching for something on his shelf. Whatever the magician was looking for, Noir did not expect it to be a small sling bag. Rino opened the bag and looked at the cat expectantly. It took the black cat a few seconds to understand what it was for.

"I can walk," Noir insisted, but Rino was faster. He scooped the feline in his arms and put him in the sling bag.

Disoriented from getting dropped into a bag, Noir wanted to protest and popped his head from the black sling bag that Rino tied over his right shoulder. However, all Noir's whining fell on deaf ears. Rino knew that if the black cat wanted to, he could easily teleport away.
