It’S A Cat, Adopted By A Wolf Family? [EN]: Chapter 148

“Ethan!”

Kitty hugged him tightly with both arms.

He, who had been close to death just moments ago, was alive and moving.

She had imagined smiling brightly when Ethan woke up, but instead, her eyes welled up with tears.

Ethan hugged and embraced Kitty as if he had never been captivated by the Blue Moon’s magic.

“Still a crybaby.”

The arm that had been somewhat disfigured after being bitten by Delta was completely healed without a trace. Its movement and skin color had all returned to normal, indistinguishable from before.

The moment Kitty confirmed this with her own eyes, she hugged Ethan even tighter.

*Chu*—

Soft lips relentlessly touched and left a mark on Ethan’s cheek. At the surprise attack, Ethan’s wolf ears perked up.

Even so, Kitty didn’t stop kissing him. Her protruding cat tail pressed down on Ethan’s body, preventing him from escaping.

Of course, it wasn’t like Ethan had any intention of running away.

“Why didn’t you listen to me, Meow?”

He pouted his lips and asked, grabbing Kitty’s cheeks as she leaned in.

“…Stab me.”

Even as she said those words, she felt a pang of regret. She was deeply saddened by the thought of not being with the precious person in front of her.

Even so, reason told him that there was no other way. Ethan barely managed to say it, hoping that Kitty would grant his last wish.

But she didn’t nod her head willingly.

“Because I like you.”

Kitty smiled brightly, her eyes slightly red. A deep blush bloomed on Ethan’s cheeks as he looked at that smile head-on.

When did his disciple, who always flattered him and followed his instructions, grow up so much?

The answer—that she didn’t follow his words for the first time because she liked him—was as sweet as if it had been coated with honey.

“…Me too.”

Ethan, who answered briefly, couldn’t hold back any longer and met her lips with his own. Lips that had been tense with worry soon relaxed and yielded to his kiss.

Tilting his head slightly, their lips met perfectly.

He wanted to explore her warm and sweet mouth as much as he desired, but he couldn’t, not with so many other eyes on Kitty.

If he indulged in ‘biting Kitty as much as he wanted,’ a fantasy he had been cherishing while pinching himself to stay in control, in a place like this, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

“Kitty.”

Ethan took Kitty’s hand and placed it on his heart. Every time his heart beat, the magic of the Blue Moon resonated with it.

To Kitty and Ethan, the magic of the Blue Moon only felt warm. The exact circumstances could be understood later, but one thing was certain.

“It feels like the Blue Moon has melted into my body, Kitty.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. Because you became the new owner of the Blue Moon.”

The magic of the Blue Moon rebuilt his collapsed body and neatly filled in the broken parts.

If Kitty hadn’t been recognized as the owner by the Blue Moon, his body, which would have collapsed in a short time, was now stronger than ever.

Ethan slowly intertwined his fingers with Kitty’s. Kittyia Gridwolf had tamed the Blue Moon, which had tormented the beastmen for decades.

“As long as this jewel is inside me, I’m yours.”

“…….”

“Kittyia. I already asked you to take all of Wibis’ time and space.”

Ethan moved his hand to his jacket pocket. When he took out a small jewelry box, everyone’s eyes, including Theo and Deon, widened.

“Now that I’ve become your jewel…”

With a click, the lid opened. Inside the jewelry box was a large ring with the Wibis crest [a symbol representing the Wibis family or organization].

“I hope you don’t refuse the jewel I’m giving you either.”

“Ethan, this is…”

Ethan grabbed Kitty’s left hand, which had stopped in mid-air, and slid the ring onto her ring finger.

“Kittyia Gridwolf.”

Ethan stared intently into Kitty’s eyes as if to meet her soul.

“Be my mate.”

Heat rose in both of their intertwined hands at the same time. His eyes, which had always felt rational and cold, were burning like a flame.

Everything except him became blurred as if there were only two of them in the world. Even the wolf knights’ murmurs that Jerian had woken up were only heard as background noise.

Kitty clenched her left hand tightly so that the ring would not fall off.

“Yes, Ethan.”

“…Really?”

“How can I disobey my teacher’s words?”

Kitty answered shamelessly, having rejected Ethan’s proposal just a few minutes ago. Ethan was about to rush towards her soft cheeks as if possessed.

But then, Theo and Deon, who had been blankly watching the two of them, swept away by the dramatic atmosphere, suddenly came to their senses.

“Ethan!”

“Keep a safe distance from our Soft Hands…!”

Ethan glared at them with fierce eyes but eventually stepped back slightly. He didn’t want to shock Theo and Deon in this way, who couldn’t even point a sword at himself, who had completely lost his mind.

Kitty was still a minor.

“Then Kitty, shall we continue what I interrupted?”

“Yeah. We should.”

Kitty got up from her seat and moved towards Jerian.

He, who had been awakened again by the powerful magic of the Blue Moon, was still being suppressed by the wolf knights.

“Jerian.”

As she spat out the word as if it were a curse, Jerian, who had been lying on the floor, rolled his eyes and looked up at Kitty.

“As expected of Icarus’ daughter, you’re so unlucky.”

Jerian seemed to be saying it by squeezing out every last bit of emotion he had left. Kitty, who would have been terrified just by hearing him make such a voice when she was young, spat out indifferently.

“You’re the unlucky one.”

“So, are you going to shoot me to death with an arrow? I don’t think you have any magic power left.”

As Jerian sneered, the wolf knights pressed his shoulders even harder.

Kitty looked down at her hands for a moment. As Jerian said, her magic power was depleted from dealing with Ethan, who had been possessed by madness until just now.

‘If possible, I wanted to take revenge using the magic power my mother gave me.’

With regret, Kitty put her hand inside her pocket. The precious dagger she received from Theo and Deon, ‘Persuasion,’ appeared.

If she could take revenge on Jerian with a weapon filled with precious memories built up in Gridwolf, she thought that would be fine too, when she heard a familiar voice.

“Am I a little late?”

“Cleed!”

Kitty turned her head to look at Cleed. His blonde hair was messed up because he had used teleportation magic in succession.

Even in the midst of rushing over and being out of his mind, Cleed was the first to notice the ring on Kitty’s finger.

‘Looks like I’m very late.’

But seeing Kitty’s cheeks flushed with a peach color, he didn’t feel so disappointed.

Instead of asking Kitty if she had received a proposal, he narrowed his eyes and examined her magic power.

He hadn’t been able to figure out exactly what had happened because he had arrived late, but he knew that Kitty didn’t have enough magic power left to attack Jerian.

‘Well, I guess I came at the right time in my own way.’

Cleed chuckled and took out a small knitted doll from his arms.

It was a fox tail-shaped ornament that Kitty had worked hard to make and gave him as a gift a long time ago.

Cleed still remembered what Kitty had said when she left the Gridwolf mansion, imbuing the doll with magic power.

“It’s not a great power, but use it for someone you love.”

For someone I love.

Since she told him to use it like that, now was the perfect time.

*Paat*-

When Cleed lightly pressed the tail doll, Kitty’s magic power inside it returned to her.

“Cleed, this is…”

“Would you like to use it now, Miss?”

Kitty looked at Cleed for a moment. He nodded, holding the baby foxes scattered on the floor in his arms.

The time had come to finish the revenge as she had dreamed of.

“Jerian, what to do.”

Kitty put the magic power Cleed had given her into the dagger.

The blade, which had only been sharp, began to emit a faint light.

Jerian’s pupils contracted vertically, sensing that this was the last threat to his life.

“Our mom, dad, brother, and pretty little ones.”

*Whoosh*-

Kitty threw the dagger.

The sword was nicely lodged in Jerian’s heart. Jerian writhed without even screaming because an indescribable level of magic dominated his body.

“Since you hurt so many people I love, I have no intention of sending you off with a single blow.”

There was no blood. Muscles were not torn, nor bones broken.

The sword was simply deeply embedded in Jerian’s soul, seizing his life force at once.

“I’m going to torture you for a long time and make you pay for all the sins you’ve committed.”

“Eup… Eueup…”

“And I’m going to throw you into the territory of the bears. You have to suffer like my dad and brother did.”

“…….”

“I won’t kill you. Because if I did, your pain would end. Instead, you will enjoy eternal life and eternal pain at the same time with the power of the goddess.”

Kitty added magic power to the dagger and turned her head. She was a little dizzy because she had squeezed out all her magic power.

Cleed, Theo, Deon, and Ethan offered Kitty a seat and water, and then flocked to Jerian’s side.

The eyes of the four beasts shone more fiercely than ever.

The four had no intention of leaving Jerian alone, who had caused Kitty to suffer for so long. Absolutely not.

“Shall we cut off your fingers first? You already don’t have many, do you?”

“Let’s pull out his fingernails first.”

“How about pulling them out halfway and then pulling them out again when the flesh grows back due to the healing power?”

“Cleed, see if there are any good torture methods in the Mana Records [a magical book or database containing information on various subjects, including torture].”

The irises with different colors flickered with murderous intent. Kitty, who had regained her strength, slipped in between them.

“Then shall we discuss torture methods now?”

“…….”

The four beasts closed their mouths, acting docile as if they had never uttered cruel words.
