【Chapter 50】

‘Come to think of it, even though he’s dressed in rags, he doesn’t seem cold at all.’

With the wind blowing like this, his violet eyes just stare at me with an indifferent gaze.

“Are you very cold?”

And suddenly.

“You’ll get sick again if you’re cold.”

He took off his dirty robe that looked like he wouldn’t wear it even if given to him and wrapped it around my shoulders.

“If you get sick, you might forget about meeting me today. You can’t be cold.”

As if it wasn’t a joke, he slightly raised his eyebrows and even tied the robe’s strings for me.

I thought the robe would be thin like rags, but once I put it on, it blocked the wind and was much warmer than before.

‘Looking at it this way, he doesn’t seem like a bad kid.’

Or does he?

‘Seeing how he bit my finger for not answering his question, he seems to have quite a temper.’

Then I recalled running away from the knights earlier.

When he casually said he killed a man, I was too flustered to think about it properly, but that was something serious.

I hesitated and then carefully asked.

“But you know, why did you kill that man?”

“He kidnapped and hit you.”

…Huh?

My eyes widened at the unexpected answer.

“Me?”

“Yeah. I need to hear your answer, but it would be troublesome if you died.”

A man kidnapped and hit me? Could it have been Pose Duke’s spy who sent the telegram?

“You killed that man to hear my answer?”

“Yeah.”

This kid is really strange.

I’m grateful that he helped me, but aside from that, it was dangerous.

I crossed my arms and looked at the boy.

On the outside, he’s not just fine but pretty like a doll. If he grows up being so reckless, he might become a menace to society later?

“…”

This won’t do. I need to educate him a little.

“Hey.”

“Yeah?”

I crossed my arms and shivered as I gave him advice.

“You can’t just kill people carelessly like that.”

“Why?”

The boy tilted his head.

Oh my god.

A seed of social evil.

I emphasized once more.

“Killing people is a bad thing.”

“Why is it bad to do bad things?”

“If you do bad things…”

Hmm.

How should I explain this to him? Would he understand if I said he’d go to prison?

Shake shake-

As I shook my head inwardly, I suddenly widened my eyes.

I got it. The way to persuade him!

“If you do bad things…”

I whispered to him with a serious expression.

“…I might be so shocked that I lose my memory.”

“!”

It worked.

His expressionless violet eyes began to slowly widen.

“No…”

He was even so shocked that he took a few steps back.

Then suddenly, like a child who lost a toy, he muttered helplessly.

“…No. If you lose more memory here, you’ll become an idiot. Then you won’t be able to answer my words either.”

Yeah. You’re the idiot.

I gently urged him like a teacher.

“So should you do bad things or not?”

“No. I won’t do bad things. Absolutely never.”

The effect was good!

“Good. Then for now…”

I need to ask the people guarding this portal to take me to the ducal palace.

Whoosh-

Come to think of it, while we were chatting, no one discovered us, right?

There were no gatekeeper knights or portal administrators. Only the portal remained alone.

“That’s right! You said the ice wall collapsed!”

I urgently looked around and realized the seriousness of the situation.

In the distance, Croste Ducal Castle was visible through the coniferous trees, and on the opposite side beyond the forest, smoke was rising as if there was a fire.

That place was the end of the world.

It was where the ice wall was located.

“I have to help somehow. I need to kill at least one monster and let them know that the King and Pose Duke created this situation!”

Brush brush-

I shook off the snow that had piled up on my head and ran forward, gripping my poison needle with determination.

* * *

Aisha was a strange kid. No matter how you looked at it.

“Why are you going that way? Your house is over there.”

He pointed to the castle where Aisha always carried him around.

But she shook her head resolutely and ran off.

“My family is in danger! I can’t just stay still by myself!”

At those words, the boy tilted his head.

If it’s dangerous, shouldn’t you hide? What if you all die together?

‘I don’t understand pack animals.’

“Do whatever you want, then.”

With a sulky expression, he yawned and followed Aisha, who was walking well on her chubby little legs.

That’s when it happened.

Her hair disheveled from the earlier kidnapping incident, she looked around alertly with triangular eyes.

“…But in this kind of situation, we should be seeing monsters… It’s really quiet, isn’t it?”

At the word “monster,” the boy’s ears perked up and he turned his head.

“…”

Actually, something had been watching us from earlier.

From behind the tree.

‘Grrrowl…’

‘Don’t come.’

He had been continuously warning it not to come, worried that Aisha might be shocked and lose her memory if she saw the monster.

“Is it normal to see monsters?”

When he asked just in case, Aisha nodded.

“Actually, it would be normal to see them. Something is strange.”

Oh. I need to show her the monster.

At those words, the flustered young boy looked at the monster hiding behind the tree.

‘Sorry. Come out.’

“Growl…?”

The monster, who had been looking at the boy with pitiful rabbit eyes, was about to reveal its feet with rough claws exposed.

“But it’s better if we don’t see it.”

Suddenly Aisha changed her opinion, so the startled boy reversed his decision.

‘If you come out, you’re dead.’

“Whine.”

Come out or don’t come out.

The monster, who had urgent business, groaned for a while then disappeared behind the tree.

‘Phew.’

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and glanced at Aisha’s back with a slightly resentful expression.

‘Aisha has a glass head.’

She gets shocked at everything, so how can I live worrying about her.

But his humanization time was gradually running out.

‘I should disappear before she gets more shocked.’

The boy had realized something while being with Aisha as a human.

Aisha didn’t know that he was the cat she called Baby.

When he was a cat, she would cuddle and hug him. But when he became human, she only nagged and didn’t hug him.

‘It would be better to stay as a cat.’

He secretly pouted his lips and said goodbye.

“I have to go now.”

“Huh? Suddenly?”

Then Aisha, who had been walking triumphantly with her poison needle, looked at him with surprised eyes.

Blue eyes.

The eyes that had discovered me dying in the corner.

He suddenly thought Aisha’s eyes were like jewels and continued speaking.

“Yeah. Actually, my house is on the opposite side.”

“Oh my! I see. You should have said so earlier! Where is your house?”

At Aisha’s question, he pondered for a moment then roughly pointed toward the ducal palace.

“Over there.”

“Ah, so you live in the village beyond the ducal palace.”

He had pointed to the ducal palace.

But he didn’t bother to correct her. It was almost time to turn back into a cat.

“Yeah. I’m going.”

Having said a rough goodbye, he was about to turn toward the opposite direction when—

“But what’s your name?”

Something urgently grabbed his pinky finger from behind.

When he turned his head, the child with a bright smile extended her hand.

“I should know your name before you go. I’m Aisha.”

I know.

But I’m…

‘If I say Baby, she’ll scold me again.’

The boy recalled their earlier conversation.

‘Huh? Whose blanket?’

‘Your blanket.’

When Aisha asked where his house was, he had just honestly said that the place he stayed these days was inside Aisha’s blanket.

But Aisha had blushed and gotten angry.

‘You were the one who told me to sleep first.’

Then shouldn’t she allow him a comfortable nest even if he was human?

It was unfair, but he couldn’t upset Aisha.

If she got startled again, she’d be shocked and lose her memory.

‘Aisha has a glass head.’

The boy repeated this like a mantra and pondered for a long time, but realized he didn’t have the talent to come up with a name on the spot.

So.

“Decide for me when we meet later.”

“What?”

He just asked her to come up with one.

“My name. Since we’re similar in age, not some weird title like Baby.”

Anything was fine as long as it wasn’t Baby.

Baby was a title only called by weaklings.

Although he was a kitten when transformed into an animal, when humanized he was roughly similar in height to Aisha.

“Then that’s settled, right? I’m going.”

Aisha seemed dazed as if it was an unexpected answer, but since he felt his humanization was about to wear off, he hurriedly started walking.

Asking why she saved me.

That had been the only goal in the boy’s dark space that had been filled with nothing but hunger.

But as he hummed a tune, another desire settled in his mind.

‘I need to quickly transform into a cat and go into Aisha’s blanket.’

It was such a simple and modest desire, but for the first time, he thought he wanted to keep living.
