章節 18: 18 White cat
[Lucy's POV: ]
<Nya! You scammers!>
The cry of a small cat echoed in our minds as she caught the small, snow-white kitten with pure black eyes.
His eyes didn't have any pupils, but there were sparkling stars inside those pitch-black eyes if looked closely that gave off the feeling as if looking at a starry sky.
This kitten was special and just from the feeling that it didn't exist in this room at all, I can say that he was more powerful than the current us.
But, in her hands, he was just happily sitting there as she played with his neck, complaining and shouting at us but a sweet smile stuck on his adorable little face.
She knew every spot he liked and so, even though he was tricked into something like this, he didn't mind staying.
In the first place, he was a pervert and he came here to have a sweet sniff of some fresh catnip however, we had practically tricked him as there was no catnip, or any hot girl thirsty for his gentle furry touch.
This one wouldn't show it, and neither would it look like anything strange, but... at this very moment, hundreds of scenarios would be playing at once in his small-looking mind asking countless questions and concluding countless more things about us, this strange situation, this place, the way he got into this, and much, much more.
His processing power was far superior to any other normal creature and even she or some of the offsprings wouldn't be a match for him for a long time if the two contested over it.
Her parallel minds were at the normal (Level-2), while he would be almost maxed in that skill or something of a higher level so traditional ways were never going to work on someone like him.
This little kitten was just that much special.
<Nyaaaaa~!> He yawned and looked at me on the other side of the bed.
Her job was only to handle this guy. The negotiation and talks were all up to me.
She had a delighted expression on her face as she played with his small head and hugged him with great care anyway. And that happy look was soothing for me too.
<Nya. You two are no ordinary kids and there is no way you would tell me how you know about me on this distant, insignificant planet. > he accurately said and moved his head for her to caress his left neck.
He was smart, too much actually, despite his adorable looks.
He was so smart that we could compare his total intelligence with some of the lower ranking [Offsprings].
He knew after just ten minutes that we were a lot more special than he could ever imagine. And that was obviously admirable.
"Ok then, let's first start with introductions.
I'm Lucifer and this is my darling Auriel. And long story short, we want you to make an exclusive contract with us." I said, and he immediately fell into deep thinking without any hesitation.
And though he knew practically nothing about us, he took his time and contemplated over it a little longer, came back, and then looked at El and me with his special eyes.
{Eyes of pure darkness}
His innate, special skill which had already crossed the bounds of the worldline.
They were something that can see through practically anything. From lies and status windows to a person's very soul.
We already knew he would use that on us and were prepared for anything, but…
[A skill has collided with six walls!]
[Skill: Six walls have greatly resisted the invading skill force.]
[Warning! Someone has partially seen the status window.]
[Invading skill level was too high. Failed to resist the entire attack.]
[Skill: Six Walls had gained experience from the higher-level enemy skill.]
"What the hell?" I gasped with a shocked voice.
<Holy shit?> the kitten said at the same time.
"Lucy? This skill is this much powerful?" El asked in utter shock too.
We both knew just how powerful this cat's skills were and it can penetrate most of the defensive skills, including that of a godlike being.
We were prepared for any scenario even though we knew as a summoned dimensional merchant, he couldn't use the full extent of his abilities. But this particular situation was beyond even our understanding.
This skill... these six walls were something even more powerful than we both had ever thought.
Just being able to resist his skill was enough to show just how complex it was to see through but, on top of that, this one gained experience from this?
It was not normal at all and gaining experience meant that this skill possessed intelligence of its own.
Though this was a marvelous thing, it made the two of us question our origin.
What were we to have such absurd skills?
Well... that was not important right now.
<I don't know many who could resist my skill to this extent you two. You're indeed amazing...> he definitely was speechless but by the looks of it, he didn't know the exact details of my six walls.
This would still be surprising for him as he managed to get our status windows, so the plan should at least go as we wanted.

<Nya! What the hell are you two?! Nyaaaa... > He shouted, but El grabbed him and tickled him under his chin.
I also knew that one was a sweet spot for this small-looking kitten so seeing him suddenly melt down was only normal for me this time.
He would naturally be shocked just to see half of our status window and we knew it was somehow perfectly concerned and hid our zero skills or else this poor kitty might have fainted... or attacked us out of that shock.
"Ok. If you have confirmed it, what is your answer?" I asked again and this time with a calm smile and uniquely joined my fingers.
This was a signal for her to let him go for a bit, so she stopped tickling him with a nod.
<Nya! After this gooooood treatment, I can tell you weird duo somehow know about me. But… to what extent?> He asked with a not-so-cat-like expression.
It was a serious expression filled with concern, doubt, and alertness, as well as calmness like the seasoned mafias.
This look contained worry as well as shock too. And though there was a bit of happiness, there was darkness in those ferocious black eyes.
Three things were primarily needed to have this dude as our own when in the game: first, knowing how to successfully call him to you. Second, knowing things about him that could pick his interest. Third and most important, make him believe you.
And I was now on the second one that directly connects to the third.
It needed precision, calmness, and accuracy so I took a deep breath, and El did the same.
"We know about the world line accident 543," I said in a stoic voice, and El continued after me.
"We know your favorite fish is from Nazrik, the blue chicken."
We followed a sequence where I said his work and profession-related facts and she said his personal facts.
"You have 54 offsprings owing you a 'favor'."
-"You have an enormous ball of dragon spider silk in your dimensional storage. You mostly only take it out when you have some pretty friends around."
"You were there when the war between Worldline #334565QW happened, and the one who caused it was also you."
-"You have a book in your Junikul island house with your favorite recipes hidden under your bed pillow."
...
It continued like that and as he listened to all of that with dead shocked eyes, cold sweat slid down from his pure white body.
Most of these things would have been filtered because of their sensitivity and the worldline might have detected it but, we knew he had activated his unique barrier artifact.
We were his creators, so we know his life more than he did.
The big things were out after an hour, and the current most important things were the last.
"And lastly, we know what happened to you and your goal," I said in a genuine, sad voice.
"And... we can help you with it," she said in a more grave voice than me.
A tear glistened down my ever-crazy sister's eyes and the kitten wiped it with his small palm.
He could feel the sincerity and absurdity of this situation but, he was convinced.
The third thing was achieved, and the contract would now be established without any major problems now.
But we meant those last words.
She loved this small adorable but dangerous kitten and, there was no other that could ever replace his place as a dimensional merchant for me.
