For the request of the beautiful lady, Dawn was naturally very willing to accept it.
Haunted by a ghost, why wouldn’t he want such a patron to live with himself? It’s relieving to have such a guardian around. After all, this lady understood the ghost would return one day, yet she still dares to remain. It goes to tell she had no fear of the danger.
As for the identity of being a monster, in Dawn’s view, that could hardly be called a problem anymore. After all, he’s experienced now, right? As long as they could communicate, what did he have to fear?
“Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! Your voice sounds familiar. Are you the cat monster who broke my illusion before!” Unsure when the hamster regained consciousness, he did overhear the two’s conversation. Jumping his feet in urgency, “Landlord, don’t be seduced by her! All cat monsters are cunning and murderous towards hamsters! If you’re worried about that ghost, I will protect you! This time I am prepared, you can be assured!”
Hamster murderer…. Would that be a good thing? She can deal with the rat issue in the neighborhood. However, if I do take them both in, wouldn’t my home become a war zone for this cat and hamster combo?
Dawn now got worried. If it were a typical cat and hamster, it wouldn’t be a storm, but they’re monsters so who knows the sort of trouble they could create.
“Humph, if it weren’t for me saving the scene just now, both you and the brother here would’ve already been sacrificed to the ghost by now. Now not only are you not thanking me, you also want to drive me away?”
The beautiful lady sounded very dissatisfied and frowned: “That’s how you rodents treat your benefactors?”
The little hamster snorted in retort, “I’m not good at head-on fighting, but even without your help, I can still make it out of danger just fine using my method. Not to mention, if you hadn’t broken my illusion before, would I be in that mess in the first place? Your origin is unknown, who knows what you might try while we’re not watching.”
Dawn could already feel the migraine kicking in over their argument. Don’t assume he’s stronger than the hamster because he managed to catch him the first time around. That’s only due to the cat lady giving him a helping hand. If anything, he stood no chance of subduing either and could only sandwich himself between them.
“Ah… Miss Monster, and the little hamster, let’s sit down and talk this over first, shall we?” He finally interrupted their bickering and pointed to the sofa and coffee table, “Let’s confirm this one point before we continue – both of you want to rent in my house, right?”
The little hamster nodded first like a pecking duck. He’s been living in Dawn’s home for a while so it’s comfortable for him. Besides, finding a new home would be troublesome, and he didn’t want that. Coupling this issue with the monster hunters actively roaming about, he doesn’t have the nerve to leave and become vulnerable.
“My name is Shadow, last name Leaf. I’m a catling. You can call me by my name first name if you like.” The pretty lady nodded and sat down on the sofa in a casual manner. Due to the unexpected softness of the cushion, the catling started to caress the fabric curiously, “I have slept for so long that everything is new to me. To clarify, I did know some humans in the previous era, but I doubt any of them are still alive. Probably a bunch of ashes by now if I had to guess. Since I need to find a place to stay, any inn will do, and your home fits that bill.”
Dawn unconsciously touched his face due to the nice person card he just got issued. In the movies, the good person always died first, and that’s not a good thing….
“Then I want to confirm one more thing – both of you are going to pay rent, correct?” Scratching his temple like he’s embarrassed, “I want to make things clear, I’m not a greedy person, but I don’t have any savings myself. I am still looking for a job. It’s no problem letting both of you get a roof over your heads but in terms of food… I’m stretched thin as well in the financial department.”
Heroes don’t live on thin air, let alone an ordinary citizen like Dawn who has a pocket that’s cleaner than a blank paper.
