Chapter 233 – 233. The Kitten Who Risked His Life to Save the Spark of Life for the Little Witch Claudia [The Devastated Little Witch and the Kitten][2]
“A warm voice? Was it a woman’s voice…?”
She was warped away and Claudia, lying on the ground in the rain, heard her voice, which felt warm and sacred.
Taesik Kim’s eyes also widened considerably.
“I think it was like that… Rather than hearing it in my ears, it felt like it was ringing in my head like a telaphisa. I wasn’t in a good state at the time, so I’m not sure, but that’s how I felt at the time…”
Nod… Nod… Nod… Nod…
In response to Kim Tae-sik’s question, Claudia nodded her head thoughtfully.
“Why, hero…?”
Then, when Kim Tae-sik seemed to be feeling quite a bit of déjà vu, he asked back from Claudia’s side.
“No… No, witch…”
However, Kim Tae-sik gave an ambiguous expression.
“What… Who are you…”
Sigh…!
It was a very warm voice.
Claudia, who had been lying like a corpse for several days, responded with a dying voice.
It was Claudia who slightly moved her head in the direction from which the sound came.
[I’m sorry, Claudia… I’m so sorry…]
This is because bright light seeped in from that direction.
The presence of a warm voice came as if caressing Claudia with a bright light.
And then he continued to say he was sorry as if he was apologizing.
“Go away… Go away… Don’t come…”
Although Claudia’s voice was weak, she appealed quite harshly not to approach.
This was because brighter lights began to take on specific shapes in her blurred vision.
[Please don’t give up… Please don’t give up on life…]
The warm voice was low, but there was sadness in it.
With that feeling, she desperately appealed to Cloudy.
“I am useless… People I love are dying and I run away because I am scared… I must die…”
Claudia’s angry voice calmed down.
The image of the torn and burning mud golems, and her Merlin protecting herself while spitting out her own blood came to mind.
To Claudia, who lost her will to live like that,
“Nyaan…? Nyaaaaang…? Nya~~~~Ah…?”
It still felt warm, but a truly unidentifiable sound tickled my ears.
“Leave me alone… I have to die… Oh nyang…? “Nyaang..?”
That voice change that drifted so sharply
She was completely devastated, and even Claudia, who was in despair, reacted in bewilderment.
“What… It’s not like you’re joking… You apologized and then you said…”
Wiggle… Wiggle… Wiggle…
As Claudia waited for her death, a sudden question mark arose.
Even though his body was not listening, he moved his head to look in front of him.
“Nyaan…? Nyaaaaang…? Nyang! Miss me…”
Do do do do do do do do do…!
And there was a kitten approaching, looking straight at Claudia.
“…”
At that sight, Claudia was left speechless, as if her brain had stopped.
“Vanity… I’m starting to see something… Yes… It’s time to die… Even though I’m a witch, I’ve been in this environment for a few days, so I’m starting to react… Yes… It’s nothing. .. It’s a good phenomenon…”
Grinning…!
In a truly absurd situation, Claudia felt that she was on the brink of death.
So she happily accepted the current phenomenon, which she judged to be seeing something in vain.
“Nyaan…! Fly..! Fly…! Licking! Licking! Nyaaaaang~~! Licking! Licking! “Fly!”
Tuk! Tuk! Tuk! Tuk! Slurp, slurp! Tuk! Tuk!
However, it seemed like the kitten had no intention of letting himself be ignored.
It was a kitten that was actively licking Claudia’s head as if she was playing with a piece of wool, as if to show off that she had a physical body.
“It’s nonsense… This is definitely nonsense… I’m definitely dying… There’s no way there’s a kitten like this in such a remote place… So this is nonsense… I’m not a fool so I’ll never be fooled…”
“Nyaan~~! Nyang! Nyaaaaa~~~! Nyang! Meow! Nyaaaaang~~~!”
Wow! Kwaap! Kwaaaaap! Kwaap! Damn! Damn!
Puck! Puck! Phuoc! Puck! Pow! Puck! Puck!
Claudia desperately denied the existence of the kitten.
The location of this place is the sparsely populated northern forest of Euphoria.
It is impossible for there to be such a noble-feeling pet cat there.
Claudia may admit that she is a coward or a cowardly witch, but she does not want to admit that she is a fool.
However, the kitten seemed to have no problem.
As if he was reading Claudia’s mind,
The more unresponsive she was, the more she appealed her presence.
The snout of the kitten that was licking Claudia started biting her head.
Her paws, which had been stroking her affectionately, started beating her like crazy.
“Ah… Okay… I’ll admit that you’re not in vain… So stop biting… You don’t even have proper teeth… What makes biting you so painful…”
“Nyaan~~♥ Nya~~~Ang!♥ Clap… Clap… Clap…”
Pat… Pat… Pat… Pat…
At this point, Claudia had no choice but to acknowledge the existence of the kitten, unless she was an idiot.
In a soothing voice she announced her surrender.
Then the kitten patted Claudia’s head warmly, nibbling again as if to remind her that she had become violent.
“Hey… You… It’s cold here… Hurry…”
Afterwards, the kitten continued to stay by Claudia’s side as she lay like her corpse.
She lay down by her bedside.
So, out of concern, Claudia used her cold voice to urge the kitten to leave.
“Nya… Nyang… Nyah…”
Booby… Booby… Booby…
But as if the kitten couldn’t hear her at all, she snuggled further into Claudia’s bedside.
“Tsk… Either that or not… I’m not going to move from here… I’m going to die… So if you don’t want to die, go away… They say that I’m the beast that avoids me because of this witch’s clothes, but if you stay like this, the beasts will kill you. I’m going to get eaten by…? So go away…”
It was a cold voice, but it seemed like he was quite worried about the kitten.
It was Claudia who explained the situation in detail.
“Pooh… Pooh… Pooh…”
However, as the day went on, the kitten fell asleep.
“You’re lucky… The animals should have eaten you by now… But what…? Yes, can you survive with that body…? I’m starting to feel hungry now…? Are you starving to death…?”
Two days have passed.
However, despite this, the kitten seemed to have no intention of leaving Claudia’s side.
Accordingly, Claudia’s body was still lying motionless like her corpse.
Her tone changed quite a bit.
Although she was cold and dispassionate when making threats against the beast,
There was a sense of urgency in the words just now.
“Nyaan… Nyang… Nyang…”
Gurgling…! Rumbling…! Growling…!
This is a kitten that needs to eat well.
This was because the kitten had been hungry for several days and was making pitiful growling noises.
“Uuuuu… That’s no use… I don’t know what purpose you’re doing this for… I can’t take care of you… What kind of bitch can’t even take care of my family… So why suffer for no reason? Just hurry up… You can still move… Come on…!”
Finally, Claudia showed her characteristic restlessness.
However, because her will to die like this was so strong, the more she did, the more she degraded herself and persuaded the kitten.
Tracking…! Tracking…! Tracking…! Rumbling…! Tracking…!
A few more days passed and it started raining again.
Wiggle… Wiggle… Wiggle…
Restless… Restless… Restless…
Then Claudia’s hands began to wriggle nervously, and her expression clearly showed that she was fidgeting.
Bars…! Bars…! Bars…! Bars…!
Because at her bedside, her kitten was trembling pitifully.
She was left hungry and fighting the cold in the rain for days.
After encountering Claudia, the kitten, which had been meowing hard all the time, began to stop making sounds at some point.
‘This guy’s body… I wonder why his life force is so tough… On the contrary, my mind is becoming clearer to the point where I can clearly hear the sound of a kitten shivering…’
‘Ha… He’s really going to be in big trouble like that…?’
I really wanted to die.
She could have taken her own life right away, but as she was miserable, starving and cold, Claudia wanted to die.
She didn’t think she deserved to die right away.
However, when she realized that her own side was causing pain to the kitten and even driving her cat to her death, she began to feel a pang of remorse for some reason.
“Hey, please go… You’re really going to die if you do that… Why are you doing this, really…!”
In the end, Claudia appealed as if pleading.
Licking…
A kitten that doesn’t even have the energy to make a sound.
But even then, the guy mustered up all his strength and licked Claudia’s bedside.
It felt like he was embracing Claudia.
[Blame me, Claudia… Don’t ever break you… Live even if it means blaming me…]
At that moment, Merlin’s last words, who were worried about Claudia being left alone, appeared in Claudia’s mind.
Claudia, who has to survive alone while everyone she was with has died,
Merlin knew that because of her selfish nature, she would feel more remorse and suffer more than anyone else.
So, in a desperate way, she hoped that Merlin would give her the will to live, even if it meant blaming him.
“It’s because of you… I just wanted to die… But because of you, I had no choice but to break that will…”
“If I stay like this, you too will die for no reason…”
Claudia decided to follow her Merlin’s request.
She tried to rekindle the spark in her life by suppressing her self-reproach, even if it meant shifting responsibility to others.
It was made possible because the kitten risked her own death and stayed by Claudia’s side until the end.
“Nya… Ah…”
It was truly a quick-witted kitten.
The guy who couldn’t even make a groan of pain let out a weak but bright cry as if he was welcoming Claudia when she changed her stance.
“Come here… I’ll warm you up…”
Wickedness…!
Claudia suddenly stood up looking haggard and hugged the kitten.
“Isn’t it warm…? “When you feel better, I’ll get you something to eat…”
Shooooo!
“Nya… Hm…”
Afterwards, she squeezed out a small amount of mana to warm the kitten’s body.
“How…Is it worth eating? “I saw it in a book and it said that if you do it this way, it’s good for kittens to eat…”
Claudia, who came into a nearby cave with the kitten, gave her milk purified with her magic in a wooden barrel.
“Nyan… Clap… Nyaang… Clap… Clap…”
The kitten quietly bowed down next to Claudia and ate it.
“…”
Claudia looked at this in silence.
“I need to know your name…? My name is Claudia. What name would you like…?”
Afterwards, she thought hard to come up with a name for the kitten.
“How about Seraphim? “She’s a name I heard in passing when I was young and I thought she was really pretty.”
That’s how she, Claudia, and Seraphim met.
