Sister of the Ranking 1st (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 125

Fairies love playing pranks, and cats love playing pranks too.

Latte, being a cat fairy, naturally adores playing pranks more than anything. She hadn’t been able to play properly at all while sticking close to me, claiming she had to protect me—how stifling that must have been for her. At my permission, Latte, overjoyed, slipped into the crowd of people.

I noticed a few top-tier Hunters flinch visibly. Don’t worry—it’s not a monster. I chuckled, recalling that paper fairies like her are often considered the kind of monsters avoided by Hunters. She’s just mischievous, not malicious….

Surely she wouldn’t cause any major trouble.

Anticipating the awkwardness soon to unfold among the guests, I absentmindedly took a sip of champagne, bubbles rising gently in the glass.

I frowned, sensing something odd. Though it was clearly sweet and tangy, the aftertaste strangely tingled on my tongue.

One sip wouldn’t cause any real issue. I set my glass aside and turned my gaze toward the crowd.

It was Am Wol’s new Guild Master inauguration ceremony. The opulent airship, obviously lavished with money, had invited two general types of people.

Hunters—specifically those deemed top-tier, bold and unrestrained—and individuals who had made names for themselves in fields like business, politics, or law.

There was no need to check whether someone was Awakened or not; the lines were immediately clear. Hunters clustered with other Hunters, while businessmen and politicians stuck together in their own groups.

Am Wol was, after all, a guild primarily focused on Gate raids—so I couldn’t fathom why they’d gathered such a crowd. As I frowned, observing them, one person approached me.

“Excuse me, miss. I don’t believe we’ve met—may I ask your name…?”

He was a man with a rough stubble and unpleasant eyes. Whether he was a Hunter or not… I couldn’t tell. He seemed Awakened, but so weakly that I couldn’t sense it clearly.
