Capítulo 104: Unleashing the Skilltalker

Wait, what just happened? Did I... did I just breathe fire?

And why is the treecat on fire?

"Meow! Meeeeooow! MEEEOOOWWW!!!"

"Calm down."

I lifted the panicking treecat and patted its tail to put out the flames. It was a bit singed, but not too bad.

"Meow (Translation: I'm this close to reporting you to animal rights groups!)"

"Hey, you're already black, so it's not that noticeable. Don't worry."

"Meow (Translation: That's *not* the issue! Honestly, Akaya-kun, you really don't get cats. You should learn to understand me better.)"

"More importantly... I just breathed fire."

"Meow (Translation: Why'd you do that?)"

"I was hoping you could tell me."

The two of us looked at each other, both tilting our heads in confusion.

"Meow (Translation: So it's not some kind of skill you unlocked?)"

"No, definitely not. I don't have any fire-breathing skills. Besides, why would I want to suddenly breathe fire at you?"
