Morning already passed by. Lunchtime is also over for the day but Catmod still yet to appear. It's already dusk outside and the orange rays of light penetrated the windows. Moonlight is busy fiddling on her phone while I am just staring at the egg for how many hours and listing all the odd features of the egg. I left my phone back home and I doubt Moonlight will allow me to go back and retrieve my phone before my training and trials are over.
"Does Catmod plans to postpone his return today? We are waiting for him for almost a whole day already and we started waiting for him this morning and until now, nor his shadow is here. I am getting bored here staring with this egg for how many hours already," I grumbled.
"Why not play with your phone then?"
"I left it back home..."
"Oh..." Moonlight returned to her phone fiddling business but she mumbled too about Catmod's no show. "Strange enough. Nekoyama-sama does not respond to my messages and all my calls cannot connect to him. Did something urgent happening right now?"
Moonlight continues fiddling on her phone. She was trying to contact Catmod for a few hours already but failed.
"Maybe his phone is broken? Or he lost it without knowing? I think it was likely the two choices I mentioned happened to him."
As we are trying to deduce what happened to Catmod, one of his servants passed by, carrying a broom. She is wearing a maid outfit but it was an outfit that specialized for Catgirls since her tail did not lift her skirt up but instead, her skirt seems to have a hole enough for her tail to emerge from behind. But since her tail splits into two, this catgirl is a Nekomata servant of Catmod which makes sense because of Catmod's lineage. Then, an idea kicked in my mind.
'Maybe they know something about Catmod's situation?'
"Umm, excuse me?"
The catgirl turned her head and looked towards my direction. When she made sure that she was the one being called, she approached in an elegant way, similar to cats walking.
"How can I be of service, Master?" the servant bowed down before she stood straight.
"Um, please refrain from calling me master because I am just a visitor of this place," I corrected the catgirl.
"All of the guests and important people who visit this place are also considered as Masters by us servants. But if you wish to change it then I shall call you Kazuma-sama. So how can I be of service?"
I was amazed by this Catgirl's professionalism in her job. Although she was a maid, she is moving elegantly and she is doing things without getting nervous and the like.
"Do you know when will be Catmod- I mean Nekoyama-sama return from his errand?"
The catgirl shook her head and bowed down. "I am sorry, Kazuma-sama, but I am just a servant here and Master Nekoyama does not divulge his schedule to us. Maybe you can find the info you are looking for from the head servant of this place. Maybe she has an idea when. She is currently the acting master on behalf of Master Nekoyama.
"Oh! That's right! Maybe Maple-san might know what time Nekoyama-sama will return!" Moonlight suddenly exclaimed.
"Maple?"
"She is the only bunny girl in this place from all the servants of Nekoyama-sama but she is the most trusted person of Nekoyama-sama because she had been his maid for 20 years already. Her authority is almost equal to Nekoyama-sama himself if not lesser," Moonlight explained.
"A bunny girl?"
"Of course, is there any problem?"
"Um, yeah? Isn't Bunny girls only present in fantasy novels, anime, and games?!"
"Now, now, Kazuma. If there are catgirls, there would be also bunny girls. Although there are no youkai form of bunny girls and any kind of folklore about them doesn't mean they don't exist at all. Bunny people are already living alongside humans for many years. With the help of the Magicians, bunny girls were being protected from being seen and discovered by ordinary people. Of course, it's not an always solution and some of them had been discovered too but most of the time, they are kind people. Also, did you know that the bunny girls in media are derived from real-life bunny girls? Just that they are used in the form of media and entertainment like fantasy-themed media to make them exist properly. Since ordinary people did not know the hidden side of the world, it is best if they remain as a tinge figment of imagination for them," Moonlight explained.
I scratch my head. Although Moonlight's explanation seems valid, I am in a bit of a turmoil. If ordinary people discovered the existence of these bunny girls, will they start capturing them and start to make some pens for... umm... I think I shouldn't continue. Having an indecent thought like that is not healthy.
"We shall go and ask Maple-san if she knows the schedule of Nekoyama-sama," Moonlight said and stood up but I stopped her since something is still bothering me.
"One thing though, if Maple is the second in command in this place, does that mean she can allow us to the book that we are looking for?"
Moonlight sighed and shook her head.
"Although Maple-san is Nekoyama-sama's second in command servant, she still has no authority to allow us on the book. Only Nekoyama-sama holds the authority alone. If the solution is that easy, I should have done it yesterday and spare ourselves waiting," Moonlight explained.
Moonlight has a point. She won't bother waiting for Catmod if we can go straight to Maple instead.
I looked to the servant and bowed to her. "Thanks for your time, can you please inform Maple that we will be visiting her later?"
"Understood."
The catgirl bowed and left. I looked at the egg and then something suddenly strikes me on.
"Um, this has been bothering me for quite a bit, Moonlight. Can you help me with it?"
Moonlight looked at me with a confused look on her face. "What can I help you with? Is there something going on?"
"This started a while ago since I got the egg. I always had a certain feeling that seems to be connected to this egg. It has been boggling me a bit so I want to ask your help for me to remember it."

Moonlight stayed silent a bit and then she suddenly seems to remember something.
"Now that you mention it, what happened to the egg before this one? Didn't you own an egg from the oracle?"
I was taken aback. She is right. Didn't I get an egg from the Oracle herself? How come I don't remember it's existence until Moonlight jog my memory a bit.
"Wait, where did I put that egg?!"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
