Kidnapping the Hero Party

57. Sick Mister! Let’s take care of the uncle! (3)

“Get back Junwoo! Don’t forget the cat! The warrior’s party is fine… so don’t worry too much! Go inside safely!”

Seeing off Minerva at the library.

I left the library and checked around.

“It’s a black cat in a nearby alley…”

Bringing it to Saten can have a good effect.

Obviously, Minerva said so.

I don’t know if that’s true or not, but only Minerva, who has looked into the future, knows.

“I have no choice. I have no choice but to believe.”

Well, it’s good to make friends with Saten.

I was sure that if it was a cat with a certain temperament to Saten, it would be her good friend.

With that thought in mind, I moved to the next alley, and there was a black cat crouching in a small box.

It was as Minerva said.

“Is it a kitten? There seems to be no mother cat around.”

It is said that if you touch the kitten carelessly, the mother cat may not recognize the kitten whose smell has changed.

However, the kitten, now crouching in the box, was alone, with no one around, and it was speculated that it was separated from the pack due to its small and fragile body.

I reached out to the black cat.

“Nya-?”

“Hmm, there are no boundaries at all.”

“Nya-?”

A cat that doesn’t even respond to my touch without being vigilant.

He seemed to have a personality similar to that of a dog cat I had only heard of.

If you have this kind of personality, you can approach the blunt Saten first and form good friends.

“You seem to have nowhere to go, so I won’t take you.”

“Nya-?”

“Yeah, stay still. I’ll take you to a new friend.”

Facing the black cat’s yellow eyes, I lifted the box containing the cat.

“Nya, nya-!”

“Careful. Fall.”

There’s a lot of unnecessary movement.

A black cat surprised by the sudden movement.

I muttered a little to reassure him.

“I don’t eat it. Be quiet.”

“Nya, nya-!!”

A curious black cat who doesn’t know where he’s headed is placed in the box.

Why am I doing this?

‘… At the very least, I even abducted a cat.’

Following the hero’s party, a life where even a cat was abducted.

Feeling the subtle feeling of becoming a professional kidnapper.

I headed towards the house where the hero party was waiting for me.

“It’s going to rain…”

For some reason, dark clouds were forming in the sky.

***

When I opened the door of a house that looked like a mansion, Hare was waiting in front of it.

When he sees me, he claps and runs away.

She looked around me and said she was happy.

“Sah, there are no injuries, mister…! Now, have a good trip…!”

“Yes, I’ve been there.”

“Give me that box…! I-I’ll carry it… It’s heavy, mister…?”

… Do you think you can’t even lift a box like this?

An eye is missing, not an arm.

Hare is trying to take the box from me.

I spoke to her in a soft tone.

“It’s okay, Hare. There’s nothing special in this.”

“Yes, yes…? Then, what’s in it-”

“Nya-!!”

“Kyaa!!”

Did you sense the sudden change of atmosphere?

The black cat jumped out of the box and attacked Hare.

Hare fell to the floor and stared at the black cat in surprise.

“Go, cat…? Go, why is the cat in the box…”

“I brought it. It was abandoned on the side of the road.”

“Yeah…? Well, is it cat meat for dinner tonight…? Can I prepare a pot, Mister…?

“…No, cats don’t eat.”

Even in Korea, where I lived, there was a thing called butterfly soup…

Several problems overlapped and went into decline at the same time.

I don’t know what happened after that, but maybe it would have been banned entirely?

‘Because people tend to turn their eyes to cute things.’

Of course, those words also applied to Hare.

“Wow, wow… A black cat is on my head… It’s so cute… I won’t put it in my pot…! Mister…! What’s his name…?!”

“It doesn’t have a name.”

“Well, can I name it then…?”

“Hmm…”

That cat is a gift for Saten

If they were going to name it, wouldn’t it be better to name it Saten?

If you do that, you might be able to stick with it.

still.

‘… If I refuse at once, I’ll be hurt.’

You are asking me with such bright eyes.

I can’t help but listen

If it’s a good name, it’s not bad to follow Hare’s opinion.

“Yeah. Give it a try, I’m curious about the name.”

“Ah, ah! I, then I would name this cat…”

Hare made eye contact with the black cat for a moment, then smiled and shouted the cat’s new name.

“Emergency food! I will make it as emergency food…!”

“…”

Why was it named after emergency food?

Butterfly, Nero, Nyangnyangyi.

Well, there must be some basic names like this.

I called the cat emergency food and asked Hare, who was smiling brightly.

“…why did you build it that way, Hare?”

“My, I couldn’t have pets because there wasn’t enough food where I lived… That’s why I made them as emergency food because there might be a shortage of food…”

“Nya-?”

The black cat was flirting, not knowing what his situation was.

Even so, the cat’s name is not an emergency food.

“It’s dismissed, Hare. That name won’t work.”

“Yes, yes…? Uh, why is that, uncle…?”

“…it’s like naming your pet chicken Chicken.”

“Chi, what is chicken…?”

“…I’ll make it next time. And, don’t give the cat a name other than emergency food.”

“Hey…”

Anyway.

Giving Hare a name was dismissed.

I intercepted the cat from Hare’s hand and asked Hare.

“Did you feed the other children?”

“Yes, yes…! I gave…! I ate Estiya right away… I didn’t eat saten… I didn’t even eat Luna…!”

“I see.”

Minerva said they’d be fine if they left it alone, but I guess I’ll have to visit them anyway.

I decided to go to Saten’s room with the cat in my arms.

Seeing me like that, Hare asked me as if something was urgent.

“Ah, uncle…! That direction…! And, where are you going with your cat…?”

“Saten’s room. This cat is going to give it to Saten.”

“Ear, that cute cat… Sa, Saten… Oh no! He, that child must die…!”

Hare screams urgently.

Why the hell is this cat dying?

Hare’s words were incomprehensible.

So, it would be best to talk to Saten directly.

smart-

“Saten. Is it okay if I go in?”

“Ah, Mister…! Go, the cat’s eyes will disappear…!”

– Come in, mister.

“Ah, ah… the emergency food is going to die…”

The moment he heard Saten’s voice, Hare let out a sigh.

To understand what Hare was talking about, I opened Saten’s door and entered.

profit.

The inside was clean and smelled fragrant.

Hare looked at the room and said in a puzzled tone.

“Uh, uh…? Who, are the eyes missing…?”

“Snow? What do you mean, Hare?”

“Woah, in the original Saten’s room, there were many old man’s b-“

“Hare.”

flinch-

Upon hearing Saten’s voice, Hare trembled in surprise.

Saten, who was walking leisurely, stared at Ha-re for a moment, then whispered to Ha-re, exuding an elegant ethos.

“Didn’t you just say you were going to clean the house? I remember there was a lot of dust in the living room…”

“Ah, ah, that’s right… That’s right… Me, I’m Cha-am too…”

haha…

It’s kind of awkward, but this.

It felt like something had happened between the two of them.

At first glance, it seems that Hare was defeated by Saten, but…

‘Things like that happen, too.’

Young children grew up fighting, and we didn’t fight and fight, so we decided to turn off our attention.

The atmosphere isn’t bad either.

“Emergency food, how are you… Thank you so far… Huh…”

Hare, who was pushed away by Saten, muttered to herself and left alone.

He truly seemed to think it was the last time with the cat.

“Saten, do you understand why Hare is doing that?”

“No, I don’t know anything.”

swipe-

Saying that, Saten distanced herself from me.

What I can’t understand is he’s the same.

than that…

“Saten, what’s the bandage on that wrist?”

A bandage full of blood.

As I pointed out, Saten hid her wrist behind her back, as if nothing had happened.

“It’s nothing. I just did some magic experiments.”

“Did you use blood magic?”

“Yeah, you know, the wrist is the most efficient.”

“…”

That’s right.

Most people who use blood magic injure their wrists.

But apart from that, it was hard to see Saten’s wrists getting scarred over and over again.

I needed to shorten it a bit.

“…Be a little more careful. I hope you don’t experiment until the wound has healed.”

“Yes, I will do my best. And, uncle.”

“Tell me.”

“What’s that black creature in that hand?”

“Oh, it’s your present.”

Nyaang- Nyaang-

The cat seems to want to go where saten is, so I put him down on the floor.

Then, the cat approached Saten and stayed at her feet.

“What action is this?”

“You seem to like you, that cat.”

“Hmm, is that so?”

Saten with a harsh reaction.

She stared quietly into the cat’s eyes.

It looked like a wizard was exploring magic.

“How do you like it, Saten?”

“Hmm, I don’t know if you like it, but it’s worth it. I’ll put it to good use.”

“…cats are nurtured, not used.”

“Uncle, what are you talking about? You’re not using it? How can you not use a creature that appears at the moment you need it for an experiment?”

… Maybe he was trying to use a cat for an experiment.

If my prediction is correct, Hare’s reaction is also understandable.

And if it’s a saten, he’s a person who will be more than enough to experiment with cats.

‘… Should I just give the cat to Hare?’

Emergency food VS test subject.

It’s not a good option to do anything.

Still, it would be better to give it to Saten.

What she needs is a living being with whom she can share her feelings.

To Saten, who had doubts about me, I said firmly.

“Saten, give the child a name. We will keep the black cat.”

“Experiment No. 1.”

“…That’s no good. Estiya’s heart will hurt, so give it a normal name.”

If you use the word test subject in front of Estiya, PTSD will come.

Saten thought for a moment, then said in a tone that he did not understand.

“Mister, I really don’t know. Why can’t I use this cat as a test subject?”

“Nyaang-?”

“It’s because I brought you here to raise you. Saten, you should take care of that cat. It’s all for you.”

“What-“

“stop.”

I won’t listen to you any more.

Keeping a cat is a command, and I will not tolerate using it as a test subject.

I reacted strongly towards Saten.

Saten pursed her lips as if she had something to say, but finally let out a sigh.

“…because it’s a black cat. I’ll do it with a kamnyang. Okay?”

“You made a good choice, Saten. Think like a friend and have a good time. It should never be used in experiments.”

“Okay, uncle.”

Saten had a displeased expression on her face, but she made eye contact with the cat again as if she couldn’t.

This time, not a wizard and a subject, but a human and a cat.

From the point of view of friends and friends.

‘Please, I hope that spending time with that cat will give Saten an opportunity to realize his feelings.’

I closed the door, leaving the two black cats looking at each other in hope.

Quang-

“…I hope you’re doing well. Saten doesn’t realize her feelings at the end, so she shouldn’t have died.”

I hope that the future of Saten’s death will disappear with that cat as an opportunity.

I walked downstairs.

It was only right to see Estiya next and put out the most urgent fire first.

‘Luna.’

Maybe it would be better to meet her who doesn’t even eat.

Luna locked herself in her room without eating.

visit her.

smart-

“Luna, is it okay if I go in?”

Tapped lightly.

No answer came even after a minute.

Even after 5 minutes.

Even after 10 minutes.

I didn’t hear Luna’s answer.

‘no way… ‘

You wouldn’t think of running away from me because of the hallucinations?

However, did he trust Luna too much?

Was it a mistake not to put the lock on?

I want to open the door and enter…

“shit…”

The window was open, and the wooden sword she used in training was missing.

And most importantly, Luna wasn’t lying in bed.

At this moment, dark clouds rolled in and rain began to fall.

Luna seemed to have gone somewhere through the window.
