It’S A Cat, Adopted By A Wolf Family? [EN]: Chapter 108

‘Jerian came to see Mom?’

Kitty couldn’t hide her bewilderment.

Of course, Jerian and her mom weren’t completely unrelated. Though it was in a bad way, there were many reasons Jerian might seek her out.

He was involved in the deaths of her dad and brother.

He was also the one who drove Mom and her out of the cat territory, but since this was mentioned in a letter left before he died, it didn’t seem to be about that.

However, what was mentioned in the letter was from much earlier than Kitty had expected.

[It was when your brother and he had briefly left to get dinner. Jerian came and called me out.]

Kitty prayed that Jerian hadn’t done anything foolish to her mom.

[He said he had always loved me, and that he would become stronger than Icarus, so let’s leave together.]

‘Huh……?’ Kitty read each word carefully.

[At the time, Jerian reeked of alcohol and panther scent. I felt uneasy, so I closed the door without listening to the rest.]

In short, Jerian, drunk, came to her mom and made a ridiculous proposal to leave together.

There was one big thing that bothered her about simply dismissing it as a crazy act by a nasty cat.

‘Panther scent? How?’

According to the letter, Jerian visited her when Kitty was just born.

Blue Moon had appeared in the world, but it was before the cats were chased by the panthers.

‘I had the tip of my tail bitten off by panthers when I was two. I heard that was the first time panthers invaded the cat territory.’

Kitty was only two years old at the time, so she didn’t see it directly, but it was such a big event that she had many opportunities to hear adult cats talking about it.

‘When I worked in the food storage, Jerian’s followers especially told me a lot about that story.’

For the followers, there would be no better story.

Panthers, driven by the madness of the Blue Moon, indiscriminately attacking cats.

Jerian, taking the lead in such a precarious situation, directing the cats to evacuate safely.

‘Everyone liked that Jerian, an ordinary cat, not Icarus, the goddess’s cat, was active.’

Because he exploited the cats with food, his followers and opponents were now divided, but after the panther attack, there were no cats who disliked Jerian.

In short, Jerian became a brave hero who resisted the panthers thanks to the panther attack.

‘But he had met panthers before that?’

After Jerian gained Icarus’s abilities, Delta and Sigma would have requested collaboration to create a pseudo Blue Moon.

But if he had met panthers long before gaining the power of the Icaruses.

‘Could it be…….’

Kitty shuddered at the sudden thought and rubbed her arms.

Although she personally held a grudge, Kitty firmly believed that Jerian had helped the cats’ great escape.

Because he was the one who stood at the forefront and miraculously evacuated everyone to a safe place on the day the panthers suddenly attacked.

‘But what if that was planned in advance with the panthers?’

What if everything was a scam to imprint Jerian’s achievements?

“Oh my god.”

It was just a hypothesis without any evidence yet, but if it were true, it would definitely have significant repercussions.

If she could prove it was a manipulation, it would be possible to undermine Jerian’s solid support base.

They support the hero Jerian, not a fraud.

‘To find out the truth about this, I’ll have to search the food storage or investigate the panthers.’

Fortunately, there were many people she could get help from.

Kitty barely calmed her pounding heart. She was going to finish reading her mom’s letter first.

‘Mom, thank you for giving me good hints.’

Fortunately or unfortunately, the story about Jerian was all about him coming at night.

From below, there were more words wishing for Kitty’s happiness and safety.

[Kitty. Even if something happens to us, Mom will be watching over you. I will always pray for you to be happy and healthy.]

The identity of the gold coin that came with the letter could also be identified.

[I hope you meet a good person and be happy. This is a wedding dowry. It’s not a large amount, but……]

Kitty fiddled with the gold coin, which was in fairly good condition.

[Ah, of course, it would be nice to live alone comfortably. If that happens, add it to buying a nice house.]

‘There’s no way I can use it. It’s what Mom left me.’ Somehow, she felt warmth from the gold coin that had been buried for a long time. Kitty smiled brightly and put them in her pocket.

There were only a few lines left in the letter.

[Even if something happens to me, remember that there is only one family member who will help you.]

[I hope you go up the Yaong River and meet him safely, baby. I had no choice but to keep you far away at my request, but if you meet again, he will cherish you very much.]

[Mom.]

Next to the last three letters was a cute cat paw print.

Her fingers couldn’t touch the paw print as much as she wanted, fearing it would wear out, and only brushed against it.

‘Family? You must be talking about Nero, who is related by blood, right?’

It was a little strange to use a more intimate expression instead of the word relative, but there was no one else besides Nero.

She could feel how worried her mom was about her until the moment she wrote the letter, seized by an ominous feeling.

Kitty swept the necklace she received from Nero once, then carefully folded the letter and put it back in the original box.

If she were a child, she might have wanted to stay here forever, where only the house site remained.

But she wasn’t such a spoiled child anymore.

‘Mom, I’ll come back after I get revenge on Jerian.’

Kitty said with a firm heart.

“Let’s go now, Mr. Jackal. Thank you all for coming with me.”

Jackal and everyone else couldn’t say anything to her, who was trying to be brave in the ruined home.

* * *

“Kitty, I won’t be seeing you for a while.”

Nero said. Haska and Welsh, who were standing next to her, were also disappointed.

“I felt energized when I was next to you, miss.”

“But now that we can freely travel to and from the cat territory, please visit us whenever you want.”

Welsh spoke as if he had settled in the cat territory. His ambition to help with the supply of goods here and then settle down properly was vaguely revealed.

Soft-

Kitty took Haska and Welsh’s hands in turn and shook them. She felt touched by those who had been with her for a while.

“Mr. Haska, are you staying here too?”

“I will help supply goods to the cat territory for the time being. Call me when you leave for the bear territory, miss.”

“Of course. I’ll let you know as soon as I hear from Katrina.”

The clear, shining emerald eyes were saying, ‘I keep my promises well!’

I wish she was my granddaughter.

Haska thought for a moment, forgetting that he was a very large dog beastman.

Kitty hugged each of the cat friends who remembered her for the last time.

It was a relief that everyone looked better than when they were first discovered in the cave.

“Camel, thank you for not forgetting me.”

“Soft paw, you’ll come visit again, right?”

It would have been impossible just a month ago, but now that Jerian had abandoned the food storage and ran away, she could answer with a smile.

“Of course.”

While Kitty and her friends were slowly saying goodbye, Jackal finalized his opinions with Nero.

Some of the wolf knights decided to stay here in case Jerian tried to recapture the food storage by force.

After confirming a few agreements, Nero smiled and said.

“And the black-haired wolf…… what was his name again?”

Jackal hated himself for immediately realizing who Nero was trying to mention.

“Ethan Weebs.”

“Yes. He seemed like a decent guy.”

“Men are all wolves.”

“…….”

It was new to hear such self-reflective words from the leader of the wolf family. Nero smiled lightly again this time.

“Please make sure my granddaughter doesn’t get hurt while she’s with you.”

“I hope you know that I am paying special attention to that issue as well. When are you planning to reveal to Kitty that you are her grandmother?”

“When it’s unavoidable?”

She was a very unique cat anyway.

Jackal nodded and headed to where Kitty was.

“Look at our miss, Mr. Jackal.”

Elliot pointed to the top of the wall, clutching his chest.

There were Kitty and her friends, who had returned to their cat forms after saying goodbye.

“Go- odbye-”

“Meow-”

Because of the sunlight, the cats’ slender fur shimmered as if it were glowing.

“Gra- cious-”

“Meow-”

Kitty and her friends, lost in memories, were singing in pretty voices, moving their bodies slightly from side to side.

The tails wagged in time with the beat.

“Our miss has the most abundant fur.”

Elliot reported to Jackal with a proud voice.

Not only that, but the Gridwolf’s wolf knights were all looking at Kitty with happy faces.

Jackal felt rewarded for diligently brushing Kitty all this time and spoke in a low voice.

“Elliot. Summon all the wolf knights. Right now.”

Elliot, who had been captivated by the soft atmosphere, suddenly came to his senses at the solemn voice.

“Yes? Yes.”

He summoned the wolf knights without knowing why. A group of gray-haired wolves stood at attention, just as bewildered as Elliot.

Jackal put his hands behind his back and said to them.

“From now on, everyone take out writing utensils and paper from your bags.”

“Writ, writing utensils, you say?”

“Yes.”

Just in time, Kitty’s ears perked up.

Jackal hurriedly ordered, not wanting to miss this lovely sight.

“I will choose the three knights who draw this scene the best and give them ten days of paid vacation.”

He was a father wolf who was anxious to show his wife the cute 모습 of his youngest daughter.
