The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 520
Chapter 520
Among the temple garrisons, the entrance to the royal class garrisons is to be guarded by guards drawn from the temple.
Of course, only those with a certain status and carefully selected people are supposed to take on this role. The strength of each Royal Class student is important, but the famous hero Ellen Artorius is staying here.
It is a scene where not only idiots gather, but also high-ranking officials and celebrities from each country come and snoop around. Ellen’s fame is indescribable.
So, starting with bullshit about who I am, there are even people who yell at the guards even if you call Ellen once, so the royal class garrison gatekeepers are made up of people who can ignore such rude high-ranking bullshit without snoring. there is.
That’s why this garrison is absolutely forbidden to enter except for designated personnel, and if you try to sneak in or are caught entering, the level of punishment rises to the level of the imperial emperor.
Of course, despite knowing that, those who still snoop around have not completely disappeared.
Such an access control situation.
Absolutely no entry except for the designated number of people.
It is said that only people can be controlled.
“… … uh?”
As always, the gatekeepers, who had been looking around with their eyes wide open in preparation for the sloppy chatter and ignorant dignitaries, widened their eyes when they saw a cat walking towards the entrance of the garrison.
“cat… … ?”
“What cat is it?”
“I know?”
It is one that walks.
However, in the mouth of the walking black cat was the same little black kitten hanging from the scruff of its neck.
–
The cat that was bitten by the mother cat was making a pitiful cry.
A black cat enters the royal class garrison without even paying attention to the gatekeepers.
“that’s interesting… … . I often see dogs, but even cats? Did it come mixed with the supplies?”
“No way.”
Cats are not subject to access control, so the gatekeepers only stare at the back of the black cat that bit the kitten.
The guards soon saw something strange.
The mother cat, who confidently entered the royal class garrison holding the kitten, carefully put the kitten down in the middle of the base where people roamed around.
Then it ran like a shotgun and burned the royal class base barrier and disappeared.
-Cow!
The guards look at the baby black cat lying on the dirt floor with a dumbfounded expression.
“… … Did you throw it away?”
“… … I guess so?”
Sarkegar abandoned Reinhardt.
* * *
– Meow!
A kitten’s voice sounds like a small beast’s cry for help.
The meaning behind it is ‘Hey, what if I throw it away like this!’ It means this, but who will understand?
Of course, the cry of a small beast that suddenly appeared in such a place could not but attract people’s attention.
“… … What’s this? What kind of cat is it?”
And the first to find the cat was teleporter Kono Lint.
Of course, many people heard the cat cry, so they started to gather one by one.
Except for those who are emptying the base because they are on a mission, everyone gathers at the cry of a strange but familiar little beast.
Adelia, Christina, and Louis Ankton, who were researching in the garrison, including Kono Lint.
And there was no choice but to rush to the other students of the royal class. There are not only second-year students here, but also existing upper and lower class students.
Certainly, it’s hard to get in touch with animals and their offspring in a place like this.
“How is the cat here?”
“Some places have dogs, but there is no law saying that there are no cats.”
“A similar looking big cat ran away, did you abandon it?”
“oh my god. I feel so sorry… … .”
“How are you so cute?”
“Actually, who raised you?”
“You said you had a mother.”
-Cow!
Of course, the original plan was to transform into a cat and roam around the camp in an eerie way, listening to stories and spying on them, but they didn’t realize how to operate them, so they were forced to become spectacles.
The first discoverer, Kono Lint, grabbed the scruffy kitten by the scruff of its neck.
“Hey hey! be careful!”
“No, not that… … .”
Picking up the little beast, Kono Lint tilted his head at the sight of the black kitten.
“Does he seem to be sick?”
–
The black cat, trembling and unable to move its legs properly, looked very bad to anyone.
-Cow!
Of course, no one understood that he was shouting ‘Put me down you son of a bitch’.
* * *
The poor black kitten, abandoned by its mother, was taken to a restaurant tent.
It’s not that you’re shivering because it’s cold, and it’s not that you can’t move your legs because you’re in pain somewhere.
It wasn’t because it was cold, so the tremors didn’t go away just because they covered her with a blanket, and it wasn’t because it was painful.
“You must be very sick.”
“Why won’t it get better?”
“so cute… … .”
Naturally, a corner of the tent of the large restaurant was crowded with students.
The desolate and desperate war pain is far from the happiness you feel when you see cute things.
So all the students swarmed to see this poor but precious guest who suddenly appeared.
I thought he might be hungry, so I put a plate of milk from the restaurant in front of me, but the kitten just trembled and couldn’t eat it.
“right!”
Kono Lint, who was watching the scene, clapped his hands.
“Maybe I’m stressed because people stare at me too much.”
At Kono Lint’s words, the seniors and juniors all nodded.
Stress is everyone’s enemy, and it’s a big enemy that can be life threatening for these little beasts. I didn’t know it well, but I knew it intuitively.
“I’ll leave it alone for now.”
The psychic and the superhuman, who would go out of their way no matter where they were presented, were in harmony with one kitten.
A black kitten trembled and watched as everyone rushed in and then scattered.
* * *
It didn’t take long for the trivial but huge news that a kitten had suddenly appeared in the garrison to spread.
So, there was no end to the students who came to the cafeteria ahead of curiosity.
Of course, not everyone was interested.
“… … It’s a strange thing.”
Rdina tilted her head, but showed no interest as if her own work had priority.
It is rare that there are animals that have survived.
Of course, most of them paid even the slightest bit of attention.
Because the battlefield was an overly tight place.
Just as the soldiers raised wild dogs, the students of the Royal Class also wanted to see a little bit of that small animal in the desert of sensitivity called the battlefield.
And among them was Adriana, who dropped out of the Temple but ended up serving as a member of the Royal Class.
“Where are you sick… … ?”
-Aang
Adriana cautiously approached the kitten and cast a healing spell on it, just like other faith majors do.
“… … Adriana does it, so it seems to have some effect?”
The black cat, which had been trembling until now, shuddered and raised its head and began rubbing its head against Adriana’s fingers.
“How did I come here… … . be pitiful.”
Adriana smiled sadly at the little cat rubbing its head against her finger.
I couldn’t tell if it was sympathy or not, but it seemed clear that the kitten was very fond of Adriana.
Adriana had been grooming the cat for a while, then hurriedly left the restaurant tent after receiving a call for a mission.
“Oh, I was just here to eat… … .”
In the end, Adriana was distracted by the cat and had to go on an empty stomach.
* * *
I don’t know if Adriana’s healing magic worked or not, but as a result of countless students coming in and taking care of it little by little, the kitten gradually regained its strength.
Of course, the inside story is completely different, but it clearly seemed that way to those who watched.
The tremors subsided little by little, and he began to move his limbs, which were not moving properly.
Eventually, after shivering in the blanket, he succeeded in standing up on four legs.
“Look at that, stand up.”
Fearing that the cat would startle, the whispering students watched with bated breath as if they were witnessing some kind of miracle of the century.
Although unfamiliar, many students were watching as the cat moved carefully, step by step, as if it were walking for the first time.
The kitten quietly started to walk around the blanket within a certain range. As if you were trying to practice something.
Kono Lint had said not to bother him, but everyone couldn’t help but be very excited by the appearance of this strange guest in a different way than usual.
“But did the mother cat abandon her?”
“I say so.”
Adelia and Cristina whispered as they stared at the kitten just starting to walk.
“Aren’t you hungry? Eat some of this.”
Cristina pushed the milk dish and the kitten didn’t even pretend to see the milk dish.
It’s a really dumb move.
Milk is by no means a common food in this situation.
“Are you not hungry?”
I’m hungry and I don’t want to eat anything like an animal after leaving the horse, but who knows.
The kitten was just doing something bizarre, making occasional noises and spinning around in place, suddenly jumping up or swinging its front paws wildly.
As if trying to check the function of the body.
* * *
When the time reached night, those who went on a mission began to return one by one, unless it was a long-term mission. Naturally, as the cat rumor spread, many people came to the restaurant to see the cat.
I thought it was an infiltration reconnaissance mission, but because my body didn’t follow me, I made the reconnaissance targets come to me, but in the end, the purpose of the mission was achieved.
“cat… … ?”
When Ludwig heard that there was a kitten in a place full of people, he tilted his head once and just ate dinner.
“… … It’s a strange thing.”
Certainly, it is strange to have a kitten in a place like this.
Ludwig didn’t pay any attention after that.
Cliffman also sat down to eat, as if not curious, even though he saw a group of people gathered.
The black kitten had been staring at those figures seen among the crowd for a longer time.
“… … .”
Scarlett squatted down in front of the kitten, frowning as she contemplated for a long time whether or not to extend her hand.
“If only a little… … . May I touch you?”
Scarlett cautiously asked Anna de Guerna, who was standing next to her, as if she were asking permission.
“Wouldn’t it be okay… … ?”
As if encouraged by Anna’s words, Scarlett cautiously reached out for the cat and, though cautiously, succeeded in stroking it once.
The cat accepted Scarlett’s touch, though not as much as it did with Adriana.
“You are so cute… … .”
Scarlett, who doesn’t react well, was on her feet, not knowing what to do.
And after confirming that Scarlett had successfully stroked it once, Anna smiled and stretched out her hand. As if a trauma switch had been activated, the kitten slowly backed away, making Anna feel sad.
Only the cat knows what’s going on inside.
If the original kitten was really a kitten, getting into the hands of many people might be a problem, but it didn’t matter because it wasn’t actually a kitten or a cat.
Of course, the cat, tired of people’s attention, was sitting between the blankets as if in a coil, watching as if observing people passing by.
“Shouldn’t I give it a name?”
The first discoverer, Kono Lint, came up with such a story out of nowhere among the huddled students.
As if you have already decided to keep this cat in a royal class garrison.
“Yes, you need a name.”
Delphine nodded as if agreeing with Kono Lint’s words.
Kono Lint wasn’t the only one who had already decided to keep a cat that appeared less than a day ago.
“Since it’s black, how about black?”
“… … .”
“… … .”
“… … .”
“Old Guringa… … ?”
Amidst everyone’s silent gaze, Kono Lint broke into a cold sweat.
“Before you get upset, you’re too inattentive.”
“That’s right… … .”
Scarlett, who rarely speaks harsh words, even gave her a face, so she said everything.
“I know.”
Erhi de Lafaeri, who was watching the scene, opened his mouth.
My eyes focused on what I knew.
“You have to give someone an ugly name to live a long time. Let’s make dog shit.”
-Aaaaaeng!
“I guess you don’t like it.”
“Yes.”
“Do you understand what I am saying?”
“And if it’s not a dog, what kind of dog shit is it?”
“I heard that you live long like this… … .”
“Noisy.”
“Yes… … .”
Erhi’s opinion had no choice but to be distorted after hearing indiscriminate criticism here and there.
“How is Lily?”
Everyone started staring at Cristina’s somewhat cute naming with a feeling of oh.
-Aye!
However, the black cat acted angrier as if he didn’t like dog poop or Lily.
Of course, it wasn’t because everyone understood what I was saying, and I just thought the timing was right.
Lily.
“Hmm… … . Lily… … . Lily… … .”
At those words, Kono Lint quietly crossed his arms and began to ponder.
“wait for a sec.”
Lindt approached the calmly sitting cat and arbitrarily grabbed one of its hind legs.
“Is he a male?”
– Haaaaaagh!
Suddenly, the kitten was able to hiss.
* * *
If there are many boatmen, the boat goes to the mountain.
However, if there are too many boatmen, the boat cannot even go to the mountain.
The Royal Class now was a ship itself that could not go anywhere because there were too many boatmen.
In the midst of numerous cat name candidates, nothing has been decided because the cat name seems to be correct in the end.
In the end, what a small beast said, and the inside of the Royal Class Garrison was strangely excited beyond countless depressions and despair.
It may not be necessary to have such a grandiose hope to calm despair.
little things.
To protect such little things.
Hope may appear just by facing the small things that still remain.
In such strange excitement, students feel various emotions.
The more important the mission, the farther away it is from the garrison, so Ellen Artorius returned to the garrison quite late.
Of course, Ellen, who came for a late dinner, naturally knew about the rumor about the cat that suddenly appeared.
Everyone vaguely knew that Ellen was tired these days.
That’s why Ellen, who had finished her meal with a dazed look on her face, stood in front of the kitten, led by the other students’ hands, as if everyone was comforted rather than comforted by the presence of the little cat.
“Some mother cat came and abandoned it today.”
“Isn’t that what we wanted to grow?”
“How is it? Isn’t it cute?”
“… … .”
Ellen gazes at the small animal in front of her with blurry eyes.
cat.
Ellen felt that people’s words and even the presence of small animals in front of her eyes were far away.
It faded away and faded, and it seemed like everything would disappear.
When Ellen appears, the cat looks straight up at Ellen with her head raised.
As if you want to check something.
Ellen carefully crouches down as if possessed, placing her hand under the cat’s chin.
“Oh lick it.”
Those who watched watched the little cat lick Ellen’s hand.
Ellen’s mind seemed to be somewhat restored by the unfamiliar sensation of licking her hand.
“… … .”
endlessly.
The cat constantly licks its fingers.
For Ellen, that small gesture seemed to awaken her senses from the ends of her skin, which had been receding for some reason.
The cat’s low and pitiful cry awakens the blurry eyes.
Only then did Ellen see what was right in front of her eyes.
pitch black
scallywag.
Ellen opens her mouth and speaks quietly.
“cat… … .”
Everyone was watching the strange sympathy with bated breath.
