Chapter 48 – Where Did Lila’s Husband Go?
The person who opened the door and appeared was Catty, a druid with cat ears.
She came in wearing a sexy dress that revealed her body and walked with a gait designed to seduce a man.
Her furry arms and legs looked like those of a cat. And she came in with her tail wagging and smiling softly.
On the outside, she looked like a beastman, but she was clearly a druid.
“Hello. “It’s Catty.”
When she saw me, she smiled strangely.
“Someone said that Robinson was an important customer. I guess it was the store manager?”
It was an expression of surprise.
Well, I was surprised that I, who had never been bothered by the temptations of many women, came to visit me like this.
“I have something to ask.”
“What do you want to ask? If possible, I wish it was a little deeper.”
She came up to me and pressed her furry cat hand to my chest.
“Oh, isn’t this your style?”
The fur disappeared from her hands, and they turned into hands exactly like human ones.
“Are you okay with this?”
Catty moved around and touched my body as if she had found an interesting toy.
“Actually, the store manager’s presence is a good topic of conversation in our lake. Is the manager of the convenience store in front of Changgwan really interested in the woman in the lake? “If so, who would you hug first?”
As she laughed, her fingers gradually turned downward.
I didn’t bother to block her hand.
Just.
“Huh?”
Since she couldn’t get an erection, she could only watch Catty touching her soft dick.
“Doesn’t this hurt my pride?”
“Why am I not standing?”
“I thought I had my own charm, too.”
“Sorry. Catty, it’s true that you’re attractive, but you’re not my style.”
“You know that hurts more, right?”
She didn’t mean to hurt anyone.
“Anyway, I didn’t call you to do that, so stop now.”
“I’m having trouble…”
When there was no response when I massaged her soft cock, Catty stuck out her lips.
“Then what business did you come here for?”
I gave Catty the golden leaf I had received from her Lila.
“Uh? “What about that?”
“Do you know what this is?”
“Could it be that you received it from the druid himself?”
“You know very well.”
“Sure. “It’s from my own people.”
Catty looked back and forth between me and the leaves with an expression of surprise on her face.
“Manager, it seems you have a broader heart than I thought. “What good deed did you do that I gave you this?”
“I just helped you out of trouble. “Do you know what this means?”
“It is by no means meant lightly. “This is something that can be made using not only your own strength but also your lifespan.”
“Using it for as long as it lasts?”
“Oh, never mind. For a druid with a long lifespan, that isn’t terribly fatal. “Looking at the leaves, I guess he was a deer-type druid.”
I nodded.
“So what does this leaf mean?”
Catty, looking at the leaves fluttering in my hands, opened her mouth.
“It means I owe you a favor. And it means that I will repay with my life. It also means that I will unconditionally listen to whatever the store manager orders.”
“… Is it similar to a master-slave relationship?”
“It is a slightly more fundamental and essential relationship than that, but by human standards, it is.”
I knew well the meaning of this leaf.
It means that Lila is grateful to me.
“But it seems quite unreasonable. It doesn’t seem like you have much strength left, but you’re pulling out leaves. “It must have been very difficult?”
Said Catty, who was looking closely at the leaves.
“Can you see it all?”
“Little? If you look at the leaves now, the tips of the leaves are slightly dead. It means that it has become weak enough to not be able to fully summon leaves. Either she was pregnant or gave birth to a baby, or the forest she was staying in was polluted. “It’s probably one of the two.”
Wow, you got everything right.
Both giving birth and the forest being polluted were correct.
I never thought I would get all of this right.
Actually, I was surprised.
Since she was just a cat with a gloomy face, she was actually a little suspicious.
After all, she is a druid too.
She looked a little different.
“She said she was a druid who lived in the nearby Duvel Forest. “She had just had a baby, so I helped her get some milk.”
I briefly told the story of how I got this leaf. As soon as she heard me, Catty nodded her head.
“It was something like that. The druid who gave me this leaf was also on the edge of a cliff. “I must have felt like the store manager was a lifesaver.”
Why does the word ‘saver of life’ sound so heavy?
“But why didn’t Leela’s husband move? Even if we have to rob a bank, isn’t it much more efficient to do it together?”
It was strange that my wife and son were having a hard time, but the father himself did not move.
“Hmm…”
Catty looked troubled by my question.
“The baby’s father probably won’t exist.”
“What?”
Could it be that he is dead?
“If you lost so much strength because you were pregnant, it doesn’t seem like you corrected yourself in a normal way.”
It was a completely unexpected answer.
It wasn’t modified in a normal way.
Does this mean that druids have a different method of correction?
“I think it might be self-replication.”
“Self-replication?”
“I heard that when the forest becomes so difficult that it is close to extinction, an unpaired druid magically clones himself and becomes pregnant with her child.”
“…”
“Of course, this could be just my guess. Not all druids give birth that way. People who give birth to children through self-cloning are not common.”
“That’s a bit of a surprising fact.”
Self-replication.
Even though I heard it from the Druid himself, it was not easy to understand.
“Well, self-replication… “It’s replicating itself.”
“Druids are special beings. Fish-type druids sometimes give birth to children through in vitro fertilization.”
Catty said it was no big deal.
“Well, I guess each person has their own way of evolving.”
I was a little surprised, no, I was a bit surprised.
Having lived in modern society in the 21st century, I was able to understand with an open mind.
“Of course, it’s a story of possibility. There might be a baby daddy. There is a possibility that she died in an unexpected accident, but if her body was so weak due to pregnancy, that possibility is not entirely out of the question.”
“Thank you. “For telling me everything.”
“Because the store manager is a trustworthy person. And there are not many people who can receive something like this. You know. Druids instinctively keep their distance from evil people.”
“I told you this before.”
Catty with a gentle smile took off her clothes.
“Then shall we play the main game now?”
“Are you okay. “That’s not what I came here for.”
“Hey, the store manager is also a man. “I don’t think this kind of thing is uninteresting.”
I’m sorry, Catty.
I can’t stand with you.
Thank you for kindly letting me know, but if it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work.
“It’s not that I’m not interested, but that’s not what I came here to do today.”
“Huh, I’m curious about the store manager too. “Can’t you tell me about the store manager just like I told you about the druid?”
I stood up, gently pushing away the cat that was approaching me, wagging its tail coquettishly.
“You are an attractive woman, but there is someone else in mind.”
He rejected her, giving her reasons for not being able to do it.
Catty let out an exclamation of regret at my euphemistic rejection.
“It can’t be helped. Because the store manager didn’t come here to do that in the first place. “Ah, I wanted to see the back of Manager Mang Buseok, who doesn’t respond to women, but it’s a shame.”
She sighed as she put her clothes back on.
Unfortunately, this body was not something I could do anything about.
‘If only my body had been fine…’
By now I would have grabbed Catty’s wrist violently and made her whine beneath me.
I left my regrets behind and left Changgwan.
Catty was given enough money for the information.
It was an expression of gratitude for the information.
‘By the way, it is a favor that will be repaid even if it means sacrificing her life.’
It’s difficult to give thanks this heavy.
I thought as I looked at the leaves Lila gave me.
I said I would give Dmitri something else as an expression of apology.
***
“Lord Dojin subdued the gunman who attacked the bank.”
“Yes. That’s right. “This is the front page of today’s Imperial Newspaper, detailing Lord Dojin’s activities.”
“Okay. Go back.”
The princess, Chloe, drank morning tea again today while listening to the news that the messenger brought.
Drinking warm tea brewed by the maid in the morning was Princess Chloe’s most basic routine to start the day.
It was so important to Chloe that her condition depended on how the tea tasted that day.
“It tastes good.”
I guess it’s because I heard news from Lord Dojin this morning.
The tea the chief maid gave me today was especially delicious.
“I think my skills are improving. “Chief maid.”
“That is an overstatement. Princess.”
“Then you can go out.”
“Yes, then take your time and enjoy it.”
Out of the corner of her eye, Chloe saw that the maid Jean had closed the door and left in her hand.
-Count Dojin Kim, subdue the assailant who attacked the central bank and protect the nobleman’s property.
-The Golden Award thanked Dojin Kim for his performance and thanked him for transferring money to their bank…
A photo showing Do-jin transporting a gunman was printed on the front page of the newspaper.
“Also…”
Cool.
He was cooler than any other man.
To single-handedly subdue a gangster that even the central bank’s knights couldn’t touch.
The man who made her brother ascend to the position of crown prince.
“Ha, ha, ha.”
I hated the fact that they arbitrarily cut off contact with me, to the point where I didn’t want to see it.
A man with more than that, a manly charm.
‘I decided not to watch, but I decided not to listen.’
I tried to cut off all news from Dojin, but he didn’t like it.
As soon as she heard that he had appeared in the newspaper, Princess Chloe still had feelings for Dojin, so much so that she had a messenger bring the imperial newspaper.
“I need to forget…”
My heart still beats when I see Dojin’s face in the photo.
The short memories we had together were vivid.
“It’s been a newspaper since morning, so you’re diligent.”
At that time, a guest came to Chloe’s room.
“Abama.”
He was her father, the emperor, the ruler of the empire.
Chloe hurriedly hid the newspaper.
“Is it because of Dojin?”
“…”
“There is no need to hide it. Because I know better than anyone else that you can’t force a person’s heart.”
After the Emperor’s Rebellion, in which the princes pointed their swords at each other, the emperor’s fiery and mountain-like stubbornness became more relaxed than before.
I don’t know about other people, but at least Chloe felt that way.
Because, if you were former Abama.
-Forget it right now. That guy is no help to the royal family.
Because he would have scolded me.
“I’m sorry.”
“Have you still not forgotten?”
“Yes…”
Ha.
The emperor’s heavy sigh echoed in the room.
“What do you plan to do with your engagement?”
“Please wait a little longer. When you’ve finished organizing your mind… “I’ll tell you then.”
“… I get it. But know that you don’t have much time.”
“Yes, Abama.”
I thought today would be a good day because the tea was delicious.
Chloe felt that the lingering taste of tea left in her mouth was somehow unpleasant.
