Bazaar, Ciara Citadel City, Eisenhiem Kingdom

The cat got very angry after the shopkeeper threw a knife at him, this was the first time that the cat had tried to demand some ‘tuna’ from someone…

As his demand got rejected, he was now about to go into his berserk mode.

“Hiss…Meeooww…” the cat gave his final warning to the shopkeeper while eyeing at the tuna that was hanging on the hook.

“Huh…you still won’t go you little…” the shopkeeper picked up another knife and threw straight at the cat.

The cat didn’t move an inch this time, he had already knew that the knife won’t hit him, because he had already predicted the trajectory of the knife; just by looking at the hand of the shopkeeper.

“Now you’ve pissed me off…” the shopkeeper yelled as he picked up a cleaver knife from his table.

“Grr…” the cat growled as he got ready to dodge the cleaver knife which the shopkeeper was about to throw at him.

“Hey … you there… stand still… put down your knife.”

A female guard, who was watching everything for a while, now interfered in between the shopkeeper and our little friend.

“Ah! Guard Ma’am, please scare away this cat… he is eyeing on my biggest and best tuna… oh!” the shopkeeper requested the guard in an appealing tone as he turned his head to look at the guard.

She was an eight feet tall giantess, with a pretty face and a nice figure; she had long dark brown hair that reached her hips and were braided together, her skin was as white as snow, with a light pink complexion on her face; her rosy pink lips were decorated by an innocent smile that was charming enough to make hundreds of people go wild about her. She wore a light purple colored tunic that had a big city guard insignia embroidered on the left side of the chest while she carried a giantess halberd on her left shoulder. Even the shopkeeper was mesmerized by her charm, but he controlled himself as some vile intentions came into his mind.

“Hiss… Maw… Grr” the cat hissed and growled as he warned the guard to stay away.

“Hey kitty, don’t be afraid… I won’t harm you…” the guard requested the cat in a gentle tone.

“Meow!” the cat meowed and accepted the guard’s request as his temper strangely cooled down.

“Hey you mister… can’t you see how brave this cat is? He stood his ground without budging an inch… while you threw your knife at him. He deserves a piece of that fish.” the guard persuaded the shopkeeper in a gentle tone.

“Instead of driving away this cat, you are telling me to feed it! Just who the hell do you think you are… are you King Nobius himself?” the angry shopkeeper yelled.

“If you want to reward him then do it on your own. Don’t try to mess with my business…”

“Meowww… grr…” the cat growled at the shopkeeper as he saw that he was insulting the giantess.

“It’s ok! You don’t need to be angry…” the giantess replied in admiration as she saw that the cat was trying to prevent the shopkeeper from trolling her.

“Then how much does this tuna cost?” she inquired.

“Hehe… now we’re talking… this is a small Bluefin tuna*… it is the best tuna that you can’t find anywhere else in this whole city… it was hard to get… it costs 75 bronze coins.” The shopkeeper replied with a cheesy grin on his face. He secretly raised the price of the tuna as he now wanted to ridicule the female guard. There were two reasons for him to act like this. First reason was that he was a racist and he hated giant race the most; out of all the four races. Even though all the four races were now united against a common enemy and were living together with amity; there were still some people, who didn’t liked every race acting as one attitude and were constantly trying to break it. And second reason was that he hated cats.

“75 bronze coins!!! That’s too expensive for a tuna like this…make it 30 bronze coins” the guard replied while reaching out for the tuna that was hanging on the hook with her right hand.

“Ok, I’ll go for 70 bronze coins… if you give me a kiss on my left cheek…” the shopkeeper replied with a lecherous smile.

“What!” the giantess exclaimed as her hand stopped in the middle of the air.

“I said 75 bronze coins… nothing less… buy or leave…”the shopkeeper replied.

“Ok, then give me half of that tuna!” she replied as she pointed out the tuna.

“You’ve got to buy the full tuna… It can’t be sold half!” the shopkeeper replied angrily.

“Are you going to buy it or not; or are you interested in me rather than this tuna…”the shopkeeper commented.

Although the giantess looked bold… she was pretty shy. The remark that the shopkeeper made traumatized her. She quickly reached for her purse and took out seventy-five bronze coins and handed it to the shopkeeper.

“Hiss…Grr…Meow…” the cat, who was watching everything became angry and hissed at the shopkeeper.

“Here… the shopkeeper handed her a different tuna, which was smaller than the one that was hanging on the hook.

“Hey… you are giving me a different tuna… I want this one” the giantess complained as she pointed out the tuna that was hanging in front of her.

“Oh… that one costs 80 bronze coins.” He replied mischievously.

“But you earlier mentioned that it was the price of this tuna!” the giantess complained in a feeble voice with her fingers still pointing out the bigger tuna.

“Hey this is a tuna…and not to mention it’s a bluefin tuna! It is a rarity that you won’t find anywhere in this city… also it’s my shop… I decide the price here… it’s up to you whether you want to take it or leave it…” the shopkeeper replied angrily.

“Ok!” the giantess replied as she took the tuna that the shopkeeper gave her.

“Come here kitty…” the giantess asked the cat to follow her, while she walked away from the fish shop.

“He he, giantesss sure are too simple… I made a heavy profit there…” the shopkeeper murmured to himself as he stood up and went to fetch the knives that he had earlier thrown at the cat.

On finding an empty spot near a house, she rested her halberd on the wall, with the bladed side facing downward towards the ground. She then sat down on the ground holding an 18 inches long tuna by her both hands and smiled.

“Time to Ea..”

*SWISH**SNATCH**SWISH*

The cat in an instant snatched away the tuna, which the giantess was holding and ran away from her. When he came a few meters away; he stopped as he noticed that the giantess was not following her, nor she was yelling or screaming like the others. So, he turned around and dropped the tuna on the ground. He then began to eat it at an incredible speed.

*CHOMP**CHEW**MUNCH**GOBBLE**CHEW**CHOMP*

“It seems you were quite starved Mr.Kitty!” The giantess complimented as she stood up and walked forward towards the cat.

“Grrrr…” the cat growled as he saw the giantess slowly approaching towards him.

“It’s ok! I won’t steal your tuna…” she replied with a sad smile.

*RUMBLE*

Her empty stomach rumbled as she suddenly stopped approaching the cat. It was extremely foolish of her to buy a fish for 75 bronze coins when her monthly salary was 20 silver coins! She had to pay 5 silver coins a month as her rent and 7 silver 50 Bronze coins for her 3 timely meals that weren’t enough to fill her stomach; not to mention all the miscellaneous costs that wreaked havoc on her purse. Now all she was left with were 45 bronze coins for the rest of the month that was about to end after a week.

She too was pretty hungry and wanted to eat some of the fish but couldn’t dare to interrupt the cat. Who was currently enjoying his meal! So she stood up and walked away.

The cat watching that the giantess was walking away; picked up the half finished tuna and ran towards her. He overtook her and stood in front of her. Then he put down the remaining tuna on the ground and stood back as he meowed innocently.

“For me?” the giantess asked as she pointed at the remaining piece of tuna and then at herself.

“Maw…” the cat replied.

“Thank you!” the giantess cried as she picked up the tuna.
