Chapter 128 – Reverberations of Autumn.

“Huh.”

The cat didn’t stop licking the girl’s soft skin with his tongue, paying attention to the sound with his ears pricked up just in case he woke up. He couldn’t wake her, so she didn’t dare to act, but her tongue was steadily and steadily licking her girl’s bare skin, leaving a mark. The girl’s white breasts, which made her puffy hills, were so appetizing that I didn’t want to let them go. But she had to rip her mouth apart to carve her own mark in every nook and cranny of her.

Seeing the small fruit on top of the small hill, she regretfully chewed it, washed it once more, and admired her girl’s body. Her small, slender body glistened in the light from outside. Of course, there was no place he hadn’t licked. Still, most of the places where the saliva dried up because I acted too cautiously, but as I confirmed, the two small hills where I kept biting and sucking were covered with his saliva and still shiny.

Of course, there was another place where I had to put the most effort into it. Burying her face between her girlish legs, a strange sweetness filled her nostrils, almost numbing her sensitive nose. The entrance of the jar of honey she saw in front of her nose was shyly covered with two petals. It was so thick that it seemed like it would bounce off if you pressed it. The cracks between the thick flesh swallowed it slightly, not being able to reject it.

The cat had a strong urge to insert his swollen genitals at any moment, but he barely resisted it. He is still wary of the girl’s awakening, but he might end up being sold again after doing such a rough job. I hated it all the more because it meant that I would never see this woman again. He barely resisted the urge, licking and sweeping the area near the female’s mouth, stimulating it more slowly.

“Chu-up, dig.”
“Yes, ha ha.”

And when, at last, she spread her tongue as wide as it could to swallow the mouth of her jar of honey, and licked up her cracks, a small moan of light pleasure finally escaped from her girlish mouth. It was a moment when the cat felt satisfied as a male, even if it was small.

“I’m sorry, Usher…”

The heightened sensation at the name of a male other than her own that flowed from the girl’s mouth instantly fell into abyss. The cat changed his mind, feeling the heat rising on his head. Right now, he took out his things to make this female his own. At this moment, it was better to be caught. But then the cat’s ears picked up the sound coming from outside.

“Tsk.”

Because of this, he regained his senses, swallowed his regret, put on the pants he had taken down, and returned the girl’s clothes to their original positions. And when he returned to his seat after covering himself with the blanket, the door opened.

“Didn’t you say you can’t drink if you can’t drink?”
“I’m sorry. I haven’t had a few drinks in a while.”

The human who brought him and his female returned to the room. It was fortunate that he could hear even the distant voices. At least he was a good human being to me. He decided to put up with it because there was nothing good in showing hatred towards such a person. The cat tossed and turned over his body pretending to sleep while swallowing his regret. As long as I was with them, there were plenty of opportunities. For that reason, he was able to act as a good cat.

“Have you loosened your guard?”

The next morning. As Usher got up out of habit to go to training with Donnar, he muttered at the sight of the boy staring at them, and Donnar shrugged his shoulders.

“Yesterday, right after he was released, he was sensitive, but just in case, bring him some food. He doesn’t seem to like people very much.”
“Yes.”

When Usher tried to change into his training suit, the girl who stood up with him helped him.

“Then have breakfast.”
“Huh.”

As he kissed her, Usher thought that a pleasant day would continue today. He thought that he would have to leave someday, but he wished that he would stay here and continue this routine. Without even knowing the gaze of the cat glaring at him as he kisses Belka.

“Is it true that Cattsie came in?”
“Wasn’t that nonsense?”

Usher finished his training as usual, met Belka for a meal, and met Mediah and Lyudmila as usual.

“Uh, uh. Uncle Donnar decided to take care of it.”

Currently, their interest is in the rescued Catsy boy.

“Are cattsy so rare?”

It’s the first time he’s seen it, but he wondered if it was that much of a surprise.

“It’s not rare. It’s a beast that only lives in Parz, but I don’t know how it ended up in Lantua.”

Come to think of it, Donard also said that it was strange.

“In the first place, they are a race that is treated as the largest royal family and the least noble in Parz.”
“That much?”

No matter how you look at it, Usher couldn’t believe it because it was full of wild beauty. He looked like a normal kid, except for his cat ears and tail.

“I want to see Catsy.”
“I heard that it has cat ears and a tail. Is it true?”

Zorni Usher couldn’t refuse as Medea and Ludmilla looked at him with sparkling eyes.

“I decided to bring the rice separately, so you guys followed me too.”
“Thank you!”
“Would you like milk too?”

So, when they returned to the room with food, the boy stood on all fours like an animal on alert, the hair on his ears and tail pulled up, looked at them, saw him and Belka together, and sat down as if to stop his guard. Thinking he was also particularly sensitive yesterday, Usher brought him rice and a spoon.

“Wow, it has real cat ears and a tail.”
“Doesn’t it sound as ferocious as it sounds?”

He didn’t say a word, but he gulped down his meal while glancing at them.

“Um, you seem to care, don’t you?”
“Then can I go out?”
“It’s kind of like someone watching when you’re eating.”

They decided to stay out while the boy ate.

“By the way, I thought there might be something more about Catsy, but it’s not that different from us.”
“From what I’ve heard, it sounds like it’s a bit stronger.”
“Isn’t that the same for knights?”

As Lyudmila said, they couldn’t find anything special about the boy. Although it was strange that they had different ears and tails.

“After we finish eating, we will ask for your name.”
“So you didn’t even know his name.”

But they couldn’t go back into the room and ask for his name. Hiss approached them as they stood in front of the room.

“Heath?”
“Uncle? What are you doing here?”

As I stared at him curiously, he opened his mouth with a hard face.

“Lady, excuse me for a moment. Lyudmilla, the lord is calling.”

Aiolos sat at his desk with his eyes closed.

“Aiolos-nim, we’ve caught a criminal.”
“Take it inside.”

I gave orders to the words that came with a knock on the door. I thought something like this would happen someday, but thinking about it and facing that situation in person were two different things. The sinner who came before him knelt before his desk without resistance. Then he sighed as he saw that the already small dwarf looked even smaller.

“Why did you do that? Philip.”

It was an old story now. As a child, he was determined to usurp her father’s place for Sasha’s sake, but he was barely of age. He was nothing better than his father. At least he could be confident that he was stronger, but he was only the son of the man who had no connections or vassals to support him. Even if he takes the position by force, if no one supports him, he becomes a lord worse than a scarecrow.

It might not look appetizing to others. He also had enough reasons to take his place. Perhaps he will bite him for driving out the evil one who killed his father. Then someone else will take his place, and then someone else in her will take her. It shouldn’t have been. He had to protect her by being the one that no one else could top her. Then, what came to mind were the retainers who had been kicked out by his father.

Among them, a knight named Gregory, who did not spare advice until the end. No one knew where he had gone afterward, but Aeolus did. He saw other vassals who had secretly conversed with him. I couldn’t imagine that the two of them would be close, so I remembered it as being surprised at how they behaved casually.

“Heath.”
“I heard you called me.”
“Okay.”

At that time, he was a vassal who silently did his own thing without saying anything. He was a person whose presence was vague because there was nothing particularly problematic or noticeable. That’s why he was even more surprised.

“Do you know where Sir Gregory is?”
“…!”

I mean, he was good friends with Gregory. At the time, it was like a gamble to him. His base of support is weak, and all he has left around him are crooks who are busy taking care of their own interests. Among them, can you find someone who really wants to set this estate right? Even if you find them, will they be on your side? But that was the only chance left for him.

“Not only Sir Gregory, but he must know where the missing knights are that his father has not been able to find until now.”
“Do you know why you ask that?”

He needed to convince him.

“How long do you think you can ignore the screams coming from outside the castle?”
“It’s just the voice of the things below.”
“Even if such a gloomy voice soon becomes yours?”

The knights are plundering the people of the territory like bandits, forgetting honor and duty. How can you be sure they won’t one day point the knife at a relatively easy-going, more-possessed opponent? He knew Heath would be targeted soon. He didn’t have any difficulty. All he had to do was pretend to help his father in his office and show him the secretly stolen documents from the crooks. What Heath introduced was Philip, who was now in front of him.

“As expected, it’s Aeolus-sama. You took a clue from that one horse and pulled me out.”

And he was also a person with ties to the man he had captured yesterday.

“…Because I had doubts from the beginning. I just got the conclusive evidence this time.”

Yeah, I didn’t want to doubt it, but I doubted it. The by-products of monsters whose origins are unknown are secretly mixed in as if they were brought from a distant alliance, or even though they were not collected, only traces of monster raids remain and people report the desolate appearance of unauthorized villages that have disappeared. Because he was also the one holding onto the commercial power of this area. Still, he interrogated the suspects in turn, and all the circumstances and evidence pointed to him.

“You said when I asked why you, a mere merchant, hid Sir Gregory and others.”

Aeolus still remembered the answer at that time.

“I wanted a place where my child could live more safely.”

He remembered those words, so it only took him a little longer to get him out. However, no matter how much he covered his eyes and ears for that reason, someday an angular stone would come out of his pocket, and Aeolus could not tolerate it. For the sake of his wife who left him, even for Medea.

“I’m not sure. Was this really the choice for your daughter?”
“…”

There was a knock on the door, and as soon as he let him in, the door opened. And he was a very small and diminutive child, as if to prove that it was dwarfs who came in. She is a pretty girl with a unique look with black and white hair mixed a little bit.

“You called me.”

But her voice didn’t last. Because her eyes fell on Philip, who was on her knees.

“Dad…?”
