Chapter 301: Catgirl's Heat

First, the most revered church was inexplicably exposed for having ties with natural disasters; then came the video of Jierte and Feili in combat, and the mastermind behind all this, which had originally been some mysterious existence, completely turned into the church.

How the truth is, only you know; only BOSS knows the final truth, but none of that matters—we just need people to know the church has a problem.

The church got itself into trouble for no clear reason, although they weren't exactly clean themselves, and the election of past emperors had long shifted from being based on strength to being presided over by the church; that red‑haired imperial princess left the empire precisely because she couldn't tolerate that.

Afterward, under BOSS's manipulation, the pope fully revealed his true form; in your eyes, that kindly old man had already become the world's most terrifying vengeful spirit, the evil behind him having turned into a viscous black substance, like a bizarre parasite.

But you are no longer the child who once feared the pope; as you approach adulthood, by observing the precepts and relentless effort, you killed the pope with your own hands.

Although your uncle's help was indispensable, you did indeed accomplish it.

Childhood memories are like a dazzling dream: the gentle, lovely neighbor girl Feili, and that kindly‑looking pope, ultimately all died completely in the midst of reality and your memories.

Then came the imperial princess's ascension; she used her great strength and determination to carry out reforms perfectly, putting the nobles on edge—even those who once loomed high and mighty, wearing what looked like powerful powered armor, the 'Knight Sirs,' underwent a trial concerning absolute strength.

The powered armor made of steel covered their filth, but could not hide their inner weakness; unlike silver classical armor, it represented the knights' proud hearts.

The events in the empire meant that the Gordon knights were no longer solely the honor of the Gordon family; they became a popular symbol, representing the knights' perfect virtue and hearts, and symbolizing the continent's highest affirmation of knights.

For the Gordons, this was also a good opportunity to glorify their family precepts, but for you there is still something more important.

Your aunt.... really lived to see the moment you came of age.

Eighteen years old: a knight's coming‑of‑age ceremony doesn't need many witnesses; the most important people are already present, and that's enough.

Your aunt awoke on that day, smiled and took part in your coming‑of‑age ceremony, and frankly said it all felt like a dream.

Besides that, there are your sister, uncle, mother who retreated from the battlefield, the big cat, the red‑haired imperial princess, BOSS, Blue Sapphire......

Without realizing it, you have already met so many companions and fellow travelers; this continent... still seems to have hope.

As the main orchestrator of all this—or rather, of most of it—BOSS, he presided over your coming‑of‑age ceremony, and without you noticing, you have already rid yourself of prejudice against him, truly regarding him as your companion.

And in the future, you will join hands to personally drag down from its throne the mysterious entity that calls itself 'God'!

All plans to slay the god have been laid out; who is prey and who is hunter seems to have already begun to reverse covertly....

The days that followed were no different; the empire stood guard at the border of the natural disasters, and as planned, it separated the direct contact between the disasters, greatly reducing the speed of their aberrations.

But recently, another matter that gives you a headache has appeared....

The catgirl's.... uh.... heat? It seems... maybe... it's arrived....

Knight Sir~

So hot, meow~

Jierte:..........

Right now, Blue Sapphire's whole body is surging with scorching heat, like a shrimp that's been thoroughly cooked, constantly writhing in her little nest.

The dense‑headed Jierte naturally doesn't understand what's wrong with her; no, one would say any normal person seeing her would think she has a fever.

I'll go find a doctor to have a look at you.

Hmm.....

Blue Sapphire lets out a weak 'hmm' sound; she only feels strange, her whole body uncomfortable, but doesn't know how to relieve it.

Afterward, following the doctor's examination here, a troubled‑looking person called Jierte out.

Doctor, what's going on with Blue Sapphire?

Hiss.....

Uh.....

This.... that.... how should I tell you...?

Jierte looks at the troubled‑looking rabbit‑ear medical staffer, utterly bewildered.

Just say it; I can accept it.

Uh, it's not some fatal disease.

It's just that her heat may have come.

???

What thing?

Jierte is instantly dumbfounded; having lived this long, he's never heard of such a situation before.

It's not that special either; someone like you, a pure‑blooded human, naturally wouldn't have this problem.

It only appears in beast‑people who have just come of age; both males and females have it, only the timing differs.
