"Ehhh?"
'Is having companion now is that too easy? No-no, no she's just a kid. I'm not unto kid.'
"Take it easy little girl, you still have a long way to go, don't make such a rash decision. Maybe when you grew up, you can come and find me" Kiann make an advice to her like an old man.
"Nyahh!~ So big brother hero, you're not unto a little kid like me and don't want me because I'm undeveloped?" She asked with a disappointed expression on her face.
"Ye-. No, of course not how can I just care about someone's body? I just don't want to put yourself in danger If you're with me." Kiann said that while smiling like a good man who's willing to save anybody that needed help.
"All right then. You won't let me be your companion because you said I'm still a little kid right? And you meant that you don't want little kids to be hurt. And I can be your companion when I grew up, right?" The little girl said that with a smile like someone who wins a gamble through scheming.
The little girl who was smiling just now was gone and what replaced her was a beautiful mature woman with a voluptuous body, huge breast, long legs, perky butt and slim body. She looked at Kiann seductively and winked.
"Meooww!~ So now that I grow up and my body developed, would you let me be your companion? Meow!" She said that with her seductive cat-like voice and she expose a large part of her breast that can cause many young man's nose to bleed until they died, and use her asset to seduce Kiann.
The moment Kiann saw her transformed from a little girl to a mature woman. He was stupefied and stood on his spot deeply and was amazed that she can disguise herself to someone and lifelike at that.
"Ehh? Waiitt! Miss, being a companion isn't an easy thing. And choosing one is also a difficult part of me and with my current strength, I think I can only have one more companion to make a pact with. So I must choose carefully" He rejected politely because of that reason and also because he can't really trust her image at all. She is adept at disguise and maybe she was an ugly woman that's why she always disguise her face.
"Mister legendary hero please make me your companion too, nyahh~"
"Me too mister hero~"
"Me too.."
"Nyahh~"
"+1.."
"+2.."
The moment Kiann said that he can only have one more companion for the time being. Many cat women offered themselves and fight for the slot.
"Mister legendary hero. You rejected me is also because that you thought I was an ugly woman who only hides her true face and disguise as a beauty right?" The woman who disguises herself said that and her eyes become teary.
"Alright, I will show you my real self!" The matured cat woman transformed herself again.
This time when Kiann saw her transformed. Not only he was shocked he even felt a shiver run down his spine as he saw her transformed into him.
"This is my true self! I am the only man in this place! Welcome here! Hero!"
He greeted Kiann and move his hands forward wanting to shake hands with him.
Kiann didn't shake hands with him but instead walked backwards slightly, seemingly afraid. 'I almost accept him to be my companion' when he thought that he can't help but shiver.
The transformed 'man' notice Kiann move backwards and shiver a little as he holds his belly and started laughing.
"Hahahahaha, you're so cute mister legendary hero. Shivering and seemed afraid just because of this. A brave hero who's not even afraid of devourer has shivered in front of a common person. How cuteee! Nyahh~" the disguised man laughs maniacally and teased him amusingly as his body slowly transformed again. This time he turned back into a cat woman but only looked like 20 years old with the same voluptuous body as before.
Kiann didn't know what to think again. He didn't which part is to believe of her persona. Luckily someone saved him.
"Lilia, stop it now don't tease my master anymore. Master, this is Lilia, a friend of mine. That is her true form, yes, she is a woman so don't worry about her fighting back with you when making a pact. She has an innate ability to disguise so master you should add her as your companion, this ability will be useful in the future." Lily introduced Lilia to Kiann.
Kiann was relieved when he heard Lily's confirmation about her gender. However, even with that he still didn't plan to make her his companion now not only because there is other people here but also because he can't really trust this playful woman at all. She is so naughty that she may accidentally expose his secret later if she becomes his companion.
"Thanks, Lily. Even though you have indeed a very helpful ability that I can use in the future but that is not only the case here for me to reject you today. As you know I'm not from this world. And in my world, I already have a wife so I should ask her for opinion first." Kiann made an excuse as his reason for his rejection to her.
"Ahhh" many nodded and sighed in understanding.
"But, why is Lily is your companion if you said that you already have a wife?" Lilia ask.
"Because when I made Lily my companion, I don't have a wife in my world yet."
"So if your wife agreed, would you accept me as your companion too?"
"I'll consider it!"
"The devourer is already gone so I shall bid farewell to you all now." He said to them.
"Wait, legendary hero, please just rest here for the day and we will serve you with our dishes as thanks for you helping us... and.. if you want we can also offer you some kind of service... Although all of them are inexperienced except for Lily but they are willing to do it if it's you! No worries this service won't take your companion slot and you can have them for the day. Right, girls?" A mature woman stopped Kiann from leaving and offered that wonderful kind of offer he could ever wish for.
"Yesss!~" many cat woman shouted in unison and seemed eager to serve him.
Lilia who's nearby cling herself to Kiann then said. "If you can't make me your companion now it is still fine, I will wait. I also can serve you now if you want." after she said that, she moved her lips to Kiann's ears and whispered. "You know, if we can't do it in front, we can do it in the backdoor instead. No worries I won't hold you responsible. There will be no commitment either, just some satisfaction!~"
Kiann who heard her was tempted as he breathed hard and compose himself.
"I'm sorry but I have to reject you again," he whispered back to her and just consider her even though her looks are very beautiful but he didn't really trust her because of her playful nature which he himself didn't even sure if she really what she is now. He face the mature woman that looks like the leader of this group
"Alright, I'll stay here for the day and gladly accept your accommodation and service."
"Uhmm. Wait, I forgot to ask. What is your name? Also in that service, are you also included in it?" Kiann asked jokingly as he chuckled and was about to leave and follow Lily to his temporary room when he heard her reply.
"I'm Michaela. Of course, I'll be glad about it if you choose me." She said with a serious face and smiled.
"Ohh? is that right?" Kiann was very tempted at her voluptuous body and wanted to test her a little as he moved forward bravely and grope her breast and pinch her nipples underneath that he easily find because these cat women don't wear a bra at all. And he felt heavenly of that large but extremely soft breast of hers as he groped again for more and his heartbeat accelerated as he almost can't control his libido.
"Hmmm!~ That's right! If you want, I can even serve you in this public place to make an example for them on how to please you, hmmn!~" she moaned as she said that offer. Her heart beat extremely fast as Kiann grope her breast and she like this feeling and want it to stay there forever.
"No need, I'll just call you if needed be" he took a liking to this mature woman and intended to have her service him and he thinks that she is way better than Lilia that's why he did that to her and accepted her, unlike Lilia who got rejected.
"Mister hero, you're such a miser!~ I just tease you a little bit and you already become so wary of me and plant a seed of doubt deep inside your mind and heart. And you rejected my offer while you easily accepted hers. I'm sorry~ right. I'm at fault for being like that. Please forgive me~ nyahh~ can you? " She pouted at first but gave in later as she begs for Kiann's forgiveness of her playful nature.
"I'm never mad at you to begin, so no need for forgiveness," Kiann said the truth. He is indeed not angry with her at all but he is still wary of her and has already planted the seed of doubt towards her and that can't be changed easily by a mere forgiveness. Kiann believes that trust is the foundation of a good partnership. That can also be applied for a friendship and also companionship.
Kiann can't have a companion that he doesn't trust and someone who is so playful like her and seems to be a type of person who doesn't like to listen to what was better so Kiann didn't consider her of being his companion.
If she became his companion and he said that she shouldn't transform into a human form in the public's eyes or else they might be in danger.
Kiann knew for sure that with her attitude she won't listen at all and do what she wanted. In short, she's a troublesome companion to have. Kiann wants someone obedient and kind companion.
He then walked toward his temporary room and Lily lead him to it. Although she is a bit sad about her friend's situation. She can't do anything about it, because if she were also in Kiann's shoes then she wouldn't also easily trust someone easily who can hide her true self and even let her be a companion. She can only pray for the better.
