I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

There is no rush to go to the Hunter World for the time being. Now Xie Wen still has to take care of the big cat in front of him that is holding him tightly.

After crying loudly for a while, Kaido Meowth soon fell asleep hanging on him.

Xie Wen was afraid that he would have to continue coaxing him after waking him up, so he did not force him off himself. Instead, he gently scratched his ears and chin while glaring at the culprit fiercely.

"Oh my~ I didn't expect that Kaido, who is so big, can't drink so much~"

(●w●)

Suixiang avoided Xie Wen's gaze and forcibly explained, "I saw him drinking so generously, and I thought he had a good alcohol tolerance, meow."

"Is his alcohol tolerance not good enough?" Xie Wen retorted unhappily, "He drank more than ten bowls of the liquor you compressed with your power. Who else could drink so much before?! You should have changed the liquor in time when you found that he was drunk!"

The drunken little cat, who felt guilty, smiled awkwardly and touched the horns on her head, but she still had her own reasons...

"You can't blame me for this. Kaido didn't act drunk at all before. But after he drank the seventeenth bowl, he suddenly started crying."

Xie Wen recalled it and it seemed to be true.

At the time, they were eating and chatting about some things in the pirate world, wanting to help Kaido Meow to understand this world as quickly as possible, but he suddenly jumped and hugged him, then burst into tears...

Klee and Huibara, who were sitting next to Xie Wen, and Dudu, who couldn't eat and could only lie on his head with envy, were all knocked down by this.

In addition, Xie Wen had been mentally prepared for this, so he could not blame Suixiang Miao anymore. He just reminded her: "Don't force him to drink anymore..."

"Don't worry, Xie Wen. After this incident, I already know how much he can drink. I will be careful to control the amount when I drink with him next time...hiccup~"

(●w●)

Suika shook the Ibuki tripe in her hand and answered confidently.

But Xie Wen didn't believe the drunk little cat's promise about drinking...

"Well, if you get Kaido drunk again, I'll stop giving you alcohol for three days."

"How can you do this, meow?!!"

∑(●ΦДΦ●)

Obviously, Suika-nyanoh didn't really trust what she said.

"Xie Wen, when will Kaido wake up from his drunken stupor?"

(=｀3=)

Just as Xie Wen and Suixiang were joking around, the little puppet came back lazily, tugged at his clothes, tilted his head back, and asked with a pout.

"He keeps occupying you like this. Ke Li can't even sleep on Brother Xie Wen at night, meow."

After being surprised, the little puppet finally remembered to take back his "territory".

"Don't worry, we don't have to wait until the evening." Xie Wen stretched out his hand in a somewhat awkward manner and rubbed her little head. "With Kaido's physique, he will be able to decompose the alcohol in his body quickly."

Kaido in the comics is always drunk. That's because he keeps drinking after getting drunk, so it is naturally difficult for him to sober up.

Moreover, the strong liquor compressed by Suika-nyan is not comparable to the liquor brewed by the backward brewing technology in the One Piece world. Although it makes people drunk quickly, they sober up just as quickly.

Xie Wen, who has drunk this kind of "alcohol" several times, has a lot to say about this.

Sure enough, after about half an hour, Kaido Meow, who had been hugging Xie Wen tightly, gradually relaxed his arms.

Originally, Xie Wen wanted to adjust his position and wait for him to wake up naturally, but after just using a little force, Kaido Meowth woke up immediately. His eyes opened suddenly with full of alertness, and the hair on his body stood up a little.

But after seeing that it was Xie Wen, Kaido's eyes immediately softened...

Xie Wen was not unfamiliar with this situation. In the inherited memory, those hunters who had experienced many battles and had been living in the open air for many years all had such vigilance.

Even Nyanjuro and the others had this habitual reaction when they first arrived, but after awakening the more useful Observation Haki, they rarely had this situation anymore.

"S-Sorry, meow..."

After waking up, Kaido Meowth also recalled what he did when he was drunk, and a look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on his mighty face.

Fortunately, at this time, the little angel Klee jumped out and broke his embarrassment.

"Great! Brother Xie Wen is back with Klee again, meow!"

(=`=)

The little rag doll pounced into Xie Wen's arms and kept drilling its little head into his stomach.

And Duduhao, who had been staying above Xie Wen's head, also imitated her sister Keli and hugged Xie Wen's head and rubbed it.

"Humph!"

(=`へ=)

The tsundere Huibara Cat couldn't bring herself to act coquettishly to Xie Wen, and could only express her dissatisfaction with a very deliberate hum.

Xie Wen was frantically trying to comfort the three kittens, while he said to Kaido, "It's good to vent when you're drunk, don't take it to heart."

Although Kaido Meow looks very mature, he is still a cat to Xie Wen, so he naturally won't blame him for such a small matter.

In order to prevent him from continuing to struggle, and also out of curiosity about what happened to Kaido Meowth before, Xie Wen decisively changed the subject and said, "Come to think of it, I still don't know why you responded to my call."

After all, judging from Kaido's reaction when he was drunk, he should bear a lot of responsibility in the Monster Hunter world and it's unlikely that he would respond to the call.

"In fact, when I joined forces with the hunters of Elgard to repel the Abyss Dragon, I was also parasitized by the Life-Eating Worm. Then, before I completely lost my mind, I chose to leave the village and planned to find a place to end my life... At the moment I jumped off the cliff, suddenly a voice said that it could solve the problem of the Life-Eating Worm in my body. I thought it wouldn't hurt to give it a try, so I responded to the call..."

Kaido Meow briefly explained why he responded to the call.

Unlike the game where materials from the Abyss Dragon are used to make equipment that automatically deducts health, in the real Monster Hunter world, the Life Eater is a more troublesome thing than the Mad Dragon Virus.

If the parasite is shallow, it can be dug out in time, but if it has spread to the internal organs, there is basically no hope of recovery. Even if it is barely rescued, it will be impossible to participate in battles in the future, and even daily activities will be difficult. Therefore, most hunters who are parasitized would rather not receive treatment and choose to die on the battlefield.

Kaido said that he was losing his sanity, which was most likely because the parasite had spread to his brain and he was completely hopeless. No wonder he responded to the call.

but……

You were really committing suicide when you fell from the sky!

It's obviously so different from the original, but it's so similar in this way...

Xie Wen even suspected that this was the evil taste of his golden finger, so he stared at Kaido and called out when he jumped off the cliff.

"Isn't this great? It's like you have an extra life." Seeing that Kaido Meow was a little depressed when talking about this, Xie Wen immediately comforted him.

"Well, I just feel a little sorry that the Flame I knew didn't get your summons, meow."

Kaido Meow forced a smile at Xie Wen.

"'Flame' is what you call 'Blue Star'? I remember that's what you called the idiot Xie Wen when you first came."

Huiyuan Miao, who was squeezed in Xie Wen's arms with Duduhao and Klee Miao, asked curiously.

"I'm not sure what 'Blue Star' you're talking about, but 'Flame' is a title that belongs only to the strongest hunter in Yanhuo Village..."

Kaido scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "In fact, they originally planned to give this title to me, but I am Fey's cat after all, so I refused."

Xie Wen: "..."

Sure enough, it was almost as he guessed. It was impossible for Kaido Meow to encounter the same situation as Kaido. He would only be regarded as a hero and respected by everyone.

Just listening to what he said, it feels like Kaido has stolen the protagonist's role in the game "Rise"...

Although judging from the ending, he should be considered a tragic protagonist, but in fact, this is the norm in the real Monster Hunter world.
