episode_0024

Seo Yi-eung, Isabella Chambers, myself, Professor Santoto, and Forest Toto instructor.

A total of five people.

The minimum number of members in the club has been met.

This prevented the disaster of not being able to create a club due to a lack of members.

“What, Ha Hwi joined the animal love club?”

“Did Seo Yi-eung lie? Crazy bitch.”

“But even if it were me, I think I would have lied. To be honest, a boy who wants to join Ha Hwi doesn’t look good.”

“That’s right. Would you want to accept a child whose true intentions are obvious? I understand Seoi-eung.”

“Me too. On the contrary, the kids who are cursing Seo Yi-eung right now are assholes.”

“I reflect…”

I was a little worried,

Fortunately, there were not many female students who cursed at Seo Yi-eung.

Surprisingly, I thought there were a lot of kids who had their minds straight.

“Now! Now, let’s move on to the clubs we each joined!”

With Professor Santoto’s command.

Students rushed out of the classroom.

The club room is located in the building right next to the classroom building.

The number of clubs for each club had already been determined.

When I checked the academy app, there was a designated club room for each club to use.

Clubs with a large number of people are spacious.

Places with a relatively small number of people were assigned to small rooms.

“We are the only ones left. Carrot.”

Professor Santoto, who was sitting on the lecture table, looked around the empty classroom and said.

There are only five people left in the classroom.

They were all members of the Animal Love Club.

“For now, let’s move to Busil. Lotus root.”

We left the classroom building.

They were moving to the building next door.

“I helped you, so give me a shot. Carrot.”

“Pat me on the butt. Lotus root.”

Santoto and Forest Toto hung on my shoulders and whispered softly.

I nodded silently.

If you received help, you should definitely repay the favor.

***

Our club room was also small.

Perhaps because it was a club with a minimum number of people, it was about the size of the studio I lived in.

Still, most of what was there was there.

There was a sofa, a table and chairs, a refrigerator and an air conditioner.

The facilities are not particularly old.

The 65 units that were previously in use must have been diligently cleaned, and their condition was very clean.

“Seo Yi-eung. Now, explain what today’s club activities are like. Carrot.”

Munching.

Professor Santoto, who was lying down on the table chewing a carrot, looked at Seo Yi-eung and said.

It was natural to ask Seo Yi-eung what kind of activities he would do.

Because the manager of our club is Seo Yi-eung.

As of now, both Santoto and Forest Toto are just members.

“I thought about it a bit in the classroom. How about going to a cat cafe today?”

There is no cat cafe on the academy grounds.

In other words, let’s go outside.

Still, it didn’t matter.

Because you don’t have to use the academy’s facilities.

There is no need to worry about cost issues.

I heard that if you participate in club activities outside of the academy, the academy will provide separate support for activity expenses. Was it 100,000 won per person? I probably remember that much.

“Carrot. It’s not bad.”

“I like cats! Lotus root!”

“I like it too.”

Everyone’s eyes turned to me.

Nod.

I answered in the affirmative by shaking my head.

It’s good to go out.

There’s nothing to do here.

In particular, the activities that animal love clubs can do in places where there are no animals…

‘ah. ‘There are animals.’

Santoto and Forest Toto were also animals before they were monsters.

However, it was a bit difficult to love that. It looked lovely, but what it did was not very lovely.

Highly intelligent animals are like that.

Because their behavior is more similar to that of humans than that of animals.

“Then I’ll move right away.”

Seo Yi-eung pulled back his chair and stood up.

“I’ve already decided where I’m going, so all you have to do is trust me and follow me.”

He is thoroughly prepared and has some leadership skills.

The more I got to know her, the more attractive she was.

Although it has the disadvantage of not having good social skills… Well, I can’t say anything about that.

“CarrotCarrot~”

“Lotus rootLotus root~”

Santoto and Forest Toto hum as soon as they leave the academy.

He seemed excited to go out.

Aren’t those two usually able to go out?

Even though they are professors and instructors, in the end, monsters are monsters, so it feels like they will be controlled to some extent.

I asked just in case.

Is it impossible to go out unless there are special circumstances?

“Carrot? We’re not prisoners, so why can’t we go out?”

“You can leave freely when you want. I just don’t have time because I’m busy. Lotus root.”

I guess I misunderstood.

Well, at the point when you stand on the human side, you already have the same rights as humans.

They seemed excited because it had been a while since they had gone out to play on a nice day.

***

I came out to the downtown area under the guidance of Seo Yi-eung.

And after walking a bit, a sign with a cute cat picture caught my eye.

Seo Yi-eung stopped in front of the building with that sign.

“Here.”

“Don’t speak informally, Carrot.”

“I didn’t say that to the professor.”

I raised my head and slowly checked the exterior of the building.

The building was five stories tall, and the entire building looked like a cat cafe.

From the 1st to the 5th floor.

There’s a cat logo on every glass window.

“Anyway, I’ll pay all the costs for now. Anyway, the manager has to claim activity expenses.”

Seo Yi-eung said so and entered the building to quickly complete the calculation.

Seeing that the employee recognizes Seo Yi-eung.

It seemed like he had visited this place several times.

Isabella must have been to a cat cafe for the first time, so she awkwardly looked around and expressed admiration.

“Wow… There are so many pretty cats…”

“Everyone, don’t just stand there, grab your drinks from the counter and pour them out quickly. Because the cats on the second floor are cuter.”

Seo Yi-eung said as he climbed one flight of stairs.

There was already a glass of drink in his hand.

The drinks come out quickly.

We took drinks and followed Seo Yi-eung up to the second floor.

And as I sat down in a suitable place, several cats slowly approached me with curious eyes.

Cats that are not at all wary of humans.

Perhaps because they were cats handled by humans, most of them were like dogs.

“Hehe. Cute.”

Isabella sits the cat on her lap, gently strokes its head, and smiles brightly.

“I can’t give you this carrot! Carrot!”

“No matter how cute you guys are, you will never give up carrots! Lotus root!”

Santoto and Forest Toto bickering with cats.

and.

Holding a cat in your arms.

Seo Yi-eung stares at me fiercely…

Why are you looking at me like that?

When I checked again, her eyes were focused on the cat I was currently petting.

I’m sure he’s not jealous of the cat.

Do you just not like this cat?

That time when I had doubts.

“···I need to go to the bathroom for a moment.”

Seo Yi-eung jumped up from his seat and quickly ran to the bathroom.

Why is it like that? She was a woman whose behavior I could not understand and guess as much as a cat.

***

While I was playing with my cat.

Another cat approached me hesitantly.

“Meow!”

We met a few times in the alley.

It was a very cute and lovely cat that I met this morning and fed it some chewy food.

No, why is he here?

Is this a cat raised here?

Other than that, there was no answer.

Because there were currently no other guests on the second floor other than us.

I thought this cafe allows cats to go out freely.

This place is quite far from the alley, but cats are fast at running around.

‘I never thought I’d meet you in a place like this…’

Isn’t this a coincidence and not fate?

I felt like that cat and I were connected by an invisible thread of fate.

anyway.

I already wanted to see it, but it turned out well.

I carefully placed the cat I was holding on the floor.

“Meow…”

“Nyan!”

Then, the guy who was looking for an opportunity jumped from his seat with all his might and fell into my arms.

I was a little embarrassed.

The last time I hugged him, he felt burdened and ran away.

Are you now immune?

Maybe it was because it was their own territory, not an unfamiliar environment, so their guard was lowered.

“As soon as he sees you, he hugs you and wags his tail, so you’re a pretty naughty cat. Lotus root.”

“Kang Ha-hwi. Have you ever been to this cat cafe before?”

Professor Santoto asked curiously.

“No. I came here for the first time today.”

“Besides that, it felt like that cat recognized you…”

“Ah. It’s because I’ve bumped into this guy in the alleys a few times.”

“Carrot? I guess it was spherical after all.”

After finishing my conversation with Santoto, I lowered my head and looked down at the cat.

“Grung, purr…”

The cat was writhing around and rubbing its face in my arms.

It seemed like he was somehow embarrassed.

And, I could see a little red liquid flowing from my nose.

‘what? Nosebleed?’

Come to think of it, there was blood on my clothes last time too.

In the morning, he was clearly in good condition…

Has my physical condition worsened again?

Or, do you have a special constitution that causes nosebleeds when you come in contact with people?

I was worried that he might have an allergy to people or something.

‘Should I ask the staff? ‘He’s in a bit of a strange condition.’

That’s when I was thinking that.

“Nyan!”

The cat slipped out of my arms and hurriedly ran somewhere.

***

A women’s restroom installed in a cat cafe.

A cat with fluffy fur rushed in.

and.

Slurp-

The cat transformed into the appearance of a human woman and breathed a sigh of relief.

“Phew. I was so excited that I almost lost my transformation when I was being held by Kang Ha-hwi.”

My heart beat so fast when I made physical contact with Kang Ha-hwi.

Therefore, if I were not careful, I would have failed to control my magic and the transformation would have been cancelled.

The woman who had overcome the crisis slowly caught her breath.

The excitement still hadn’t subsided and I felt like my legs were going to lose strength.

When she was leaning against the wall and calming her pounding heart.

Mei profit-

I heard the bathroom door open.

“Carrot···.”

“Lotus root···.”

“Wow······.”

Three shadows appeared in the bathroom.

The woman’s face turned blue in surprise at the familiar voice.

The woman’s hands were shaking and she slowly turned her head to the side.

“As expected, you were the cat just now. Carrot.”

“Lotus root. This is absolutely disgusting. They were the same as us.”

“Dirty, you…”

Santoto and Forest Toto.

Isabella looked at the woman with eyes full of disgust.

The woman reflected in their eyes is none other than that.

“Uh, that is… excuse me···. How did this happen…”

It was Seo Yi-eung.

Seo Yi-eung found out that the cat’s true identity was him.
