What? Fish eating rabbits? 流石に異世界だ。

Chapter 4 is, like chapter 2, again on the comical or light hearted side. Maybe here, as well as with the double page images every two chapters, there is a pattern.

As in the other chapters her true strength lies in her communication skills, whether with villagers or here with the cats. Maybe here she actually has some supernatural ability, like being able to talk to every kind of creature. And this might have kept her alive before she met クーシュナ.

Btw: she has a 杖. So far she hasn‘t used it, as it seems. I asked myself, for what purpose she carries it around.

Probably? She seemed to be able to get her point across and knew the verdict. Maybe that’s possible with just body language, but being able to actually communicate seems more likely to me. After all, if I were presiding over a trial and this weird human came in dressed as a cat and started making weird noises I would not take her testimony seriously.

The old man’s thoughts at the end summed up my thoughts pretty well. What the heck just happened? A very surreal experience for him. How did she even get involved in this? I also find it hilarious how she has no problem whatsoever with breaking into an old man’s house if it satisfies her curiosity :joy:
