Chapter 35 – Mesgaki and the Cat
Thinking that she should be washed first, she slowly moved closer to Nero.
Obviously, if I tried to lift it up and take it to the bathroom, it was obvious that it would struggle, so I kidnapped it carefully.
“Nero, come here…”
“Aww!”
As I approached, he felt uneasy and suddenly ran away and hid under the table.
Could it be that you heard that I was washed on the air and only noticed the situation?
I was momentarily taken aback by Nero, who was smarter than I thought, but crawled under the table on all fours to somehow make it clean.
“For work…”
“Kehehe!!!”
This bad asshole
Because of you, I spent more than a month on food to buy things, but this bastard goes against the owner?
You guys will definitely wash up today.
I felt like fire was burning in my eyes, and an overwhelming desire slowly began to grow in my heart.
Anger is my strength. Spending money is definitely something to be angry about. Therefore, it is said that today I am the strongest.
“Come on!”
“Aww!”
“If I catch you, I’ll give you a chuchu!”
“Aeong~.”
Even if they offered churros, whether it was because they didn’t believe it or because they were smart, they just ignored it and went up on the table.
Animals with overwhelming speed and jumping power cannot be defeated by humans.
No, if you fight an animal with physical force, you have to go over to a head fight because you lose.
I remembered a good strategy and took out Nero’s snack Chur, which I bought today.
Didn’t you say that cats would go crazy with just one of these?
I slowly opened the package and opened the stick-like churro and squeezed out a little of the contents inside.
“Wow! Isn’t there a nutritious and tasty cat snack called Chure?”
Even when I think about it, I think it’s a really great performance.
“How can it be that there is such a delicious churro, but there is no cat to give it to… I have no choice but to eat it myself.”
I put the slightly salty churro in my mouth and ate it.
To be honest, I had no intention of eating it, but as the saying goes, you have to cheat on your friends in order to deceive your enemies.
Um… A little sweet is more edible than feed, right?
If the food was vomiting because of the fishy smell, Chuur didn’t feel that way at all.
“It’s so delicious, but there’s no cat… I’ll just throw it in the bathroom.”
Go to the bathroom slowly. Since I acted like this and went in, Nero, who is interested in Chure, will surely come into the bathroom.
If you wait a little bit, the goal will be achieved.
Maybe… I will achieve it.
Seem to achieve?
Why aren’t you coming?
I was worried about Nero not following me into the bathroom even though I had acted this far, so I stuck my head out and looked at the living room.
Nero, standing on four legs on the desk, just watched me.
“Tooth…”
“That child…”
You must have laughed at that.
There’s no way a normal cat could act like that.
The thought that he had fooled me made me determined to wash up unconditionally.
“Oooh!!”
“Come to work!”
“Niaaong~,”
“Come to work…”
“Meow~ Daong~.”
“Heh… Heh… Stop for a second.”
-Dump.
I tried to catch the cat, but I was exhausted first.
This damned body… Should have exercised a bit.
No matter how much I moved, sweat flowed from my body and it became damp.
Should I just give up Just when I thought about it, unexpected reinforcements appeared.
-Ding-dong!
“Who are you!”
“Jaejoon, is there something wrong? Have you been hearing loud noises ever since?”
“That, that…”
I didn’t care about other people because I was chasing Nero, so Jae-hee, the daughter of the landlord, came to find out what was going on as a representative.
Well, it’s my fault for making this shit in the middle of the night.
He slowly opened the door and looked at Jaehee.
“Isn’t something wrong?”
“I was just going to wash it with you, but ha ha, whoa… He struggles too much.”
As I looked at Jaehee, an idea came to my mind.
Unlike me, Choi Jae-hee, who was presumed to have a strong physique and even served in the military, gave me hope that he would be able to catch that fast flying animal.
I have no choice but to get help from Jaehee again.
I slowly reached out my hand, crossed my arms, and pulled her into our house.
“Sister, please help me just once.”
“Okay.”
She’s an easy girl.
“Okay, I’ll catch it, so prepare to wash it right in the bathroom with cat shower supplies.”
“Yes!”
With Choi Jae-hee’s support, he goes on the hunt for Nero once again.
Outside, while Choi Jae-hee caught Nero, I waited slowly in the bathroom, adjusting the temperature of the warm water.
“Come to work!”
“Oooh!!”
I hear something smashing outside, but won’t it come if I wait anyway?
“Jaejun, turn on the water quickly!”
“Yes!”
As I opened the door and waited, Jaehee came back holding onto Nero with her hands trembling with scratches on both hands.
I hurriedly drenched Nero with water slowly.
The guy who had been rampaging until just now stopped struggling as he went down with his ears, as if he had given up as soon as he was hit by water.
“I’ve calmed down now.”
I nodded and agreed with Jaehee’s words.
I squeezed the shampoo for cats I bought with me in my hand and applied it to Nero’s body and slowly made a lather.
Bubbling~
Like a hairy cat, it swelled up unbelievably no matter how long it had been since the shampoo was applied.
As I smiled and touched it, Jaehee, who was holding the stream of water, was looking at something happily.
“What are you looking at?”
“Nothing.”
“Then sprinkle some water on me.”
“Ahhhhh…”
When I saw Nero, whose hair was all wet with foam on his body, I was amazed that he was thinner than I thought.
There was a saying that cats are half hairy, but it must have been true that Nero, who was half his size, looked pitiful as he trembled.
Cats are said to be the cleanest of pets anyway, so they won’t be washed often.
“Uh, uh!? What if you throw water on me!”
“Mi… I’m sorry.”
As if her eyes suddenly lost focus, Jaehee Choi accidentally splashed water on me.
“Oh, really… You have to change your clothes.”
“Sorry… Ah.”
Maybe it’s because it’s a white tee, but when wet, it clings to the body, no matter how warm the water is, it cools down quickly and feels cold.
Even though it would be better if it stayed attached to it, but when I move my body, it sticks and then comes off, and I feel the cold feeling of the clothes, which makes me annoyed.
“Oh, please be careful next time.”
“Huh? Uh, that should be…”
When I made eye contact and tried to talk, Choi Jae-hee kept avoiding my gaze and she only tried to look somewhere.
What’s there to see in this rotten bathroom?
As I was looking at Choi Jae-hee with a slightly questionable face, I was quietly washed away by Nero as I blew her whistle.
“Haha, it looks like the foam is gone now, let’s wipe it with a towel.”
“I think that would be better.”
After saying that, I turned off the water in the shower and took a towel and wrapped it around Nero.
“Oi~ Did you wash well with four of us?”
“Ohhh…”
“Something has changed since he took a shower.”
“Iknow, right.”
Certainly, Nero, who had been scratching Jaehee with his nails until now, had disappeared somewhere and in front of me was only a wet cat with pitiful eyes.
– Brrrr!
“Hey, the water is splashing!”
“Oh!”
Feeling sorry for being wet, I tried to quickly wipe it with a towel, but it seemed uncomfortable, so I shook my whole body and splashed water around.
Naturally, it bounced like a shotgun at me, who was sitting next to me, and Jaehee, who was standing, only bounced on her leg.
I could see the water dripping from her hair.
“Ai-san… Really.”
“…And.”
“Why?”
“Nothing.”
It’s a feeling of annoyance rising up little by little, but she knew that she had to endure this much to raise a pet, so she decided to endure it.
I was thinking of taking him to the hospital tomorrow anyway, but then I’ll get revenge.
“Wait a minute, go to the living room first and dry it with a towel.”
“Why?”
“Quickly.”
I lifted it up and gave it to Choi Jae-hee, who took it in a daze and put both hands between her front legs to secure it.
With both hands, I lifted the hem of the clothes I was wearing and squeezed it with my hands.
It seems that the stream of water flowing out seems to have held much more water than I expected.
“Oh…”
“What are you doing? I want you to dry it in the living room.”
“Yes.”
Jaehee, whose face turned red before she knew it, began to dry Nero with a hair dryer.
What are you so shy about?
“Nero, how are you feeling better now?”
“Aww!”
“Then, let’s eat the churna I made earlier.”
“Nyan!”
Earlier, in order to perform well, I handed Nero a churro that I had taken just one bite.
When I saw it earlier, I thought it would be better to take care of it because it reminded me of how small it was compared to its fur.
I squeezed out a bit of churro and handed it to him, and he licked it like crazy.
“Cute.”
“I know.”
“Oh, you can go now. I have to take a shower now.”
“Shower? Then there is nothing you can do.”
Jaehee, who usually thought of me as useless, but today, I think you can think of her as a colleague.
“Grrr… Grrr.”
While stroking Nero, who clung to me and growled, I prepared to take a shower.
