It’S A Cat, Adopted By A Wolf Family? [EN]: Chapter 151

<151>

“……Eden?”

Caris asked again, doubting her own eyes.

Who was Eden Wibois?

He was a child who had closed off his heart after Mrs. Wibois passed away, making him extremely cold.

Caris, being Hogwood’s close friend, knew this better than anyone, as she had always cared about Eden.

Even the usually fearless little Theo and Deon would return subdued after spending just an hour with Eden.

“Yes, Lady Caris.”

The once indifferent Eden was now answering shamelessly. It was hard to believe that this was the same black-furred wolf who had shown no trace of amiability.

Moreover.

‘……His attitude is strangely similar to how Jackal treats our mother.’

It wasn’t just Caris’s imagination.

Eden had been treating the Gridwolf couple with the utmost respect, as if they were his in-laws, long before. Now that Kitty had accepted Wibois’s proposal ring, his politeness had reached its peak.

“Lady Caris, if you have anything to say to me, please feel free to ask.”

“……No, it’s okay.”

Caris was dumbfounded and couldn’t continue speaking.

Once his conversation with Caris ended, Eden immediately made eye contact with Kitty. Her emerald eyes, much younger than his, were sparkling as always.

“I’m here, Kitty.”

“The banquet is still a long way off, how did you get here?”

Eden didn’t mention that he had bribed some of Gridwolf’s knights to investigate the family portrait matter in advance.

He wanted to show his fiancée the most upright and sincere 모습 [appearance] possible.

However, Kitty could tell by the slight upturn of her lips, as if she knew everything.

‘Wolves’ obsession is really…….’

Kitty wasn’t the only one shaking her head at Eden’s quiet obsession. Jackal, Theo, and Deon watched Eden quietly guarding Kitty’s side and shook their heads inwardly.

If he had openly expressed his affection or bothered Kitty, they would have used that as a reason to kick him out.

But now, Eden was merely reverently kissing Kitty’s hand and occupying her side.

Considering the wolves’ characteristic of not hesitating to jump into the fire when in love, Eden’s current patience was superhuman.

‘And the wedding hasn’t even taken place yet.’

Jackal, having forgotten how passionate he was in his prime, began to be wary of Eden.

The reason Eden could be so confident was obvious.

Squish—

“Kitty, shall we ask them to draw us holding hands?”

“Let’s do that. It’ll look more harmonious.”

It was Kitty’s affection.

Kitty, who didn’t allow her soft pink jelly paws to just anyone, readily offered her hand to Eden.

The confidence unique to a loved wolf made the already handsome and reliable Eden look even more so.

‘Ah, I should have made his shoulders a bit narrower.’

‘And he even wore his uniform today…….’

Theo and Deon watched Kitty holding Eden’s hand and couldn’t bring themselves to speak.

They had planned to spend happy and cozy time with Kitty as a family after she was officially adopted, and delay her marriage a little.

But thanks to Kitty’s power, Eden, who had been accepted as a vessel of the Blue Moon, quickly proposed, disrupting their plan.

‘He’s always so fast.’

‘To think she’d promise to marry Eden before the official adoption…….’

Nero chuckled as he watched the Gridwolf wolves’ eyes burning fiercely.

“Give up. The cat territory has already been occupied by Wibois. He seems to have bewitched the cats through a black-furred wolf named Catherine.”

“…….”

Jackal glared at Eden with a stern face and said sullenly.

“Pretending to be docile in front of others while doing groundwork behind the scenes.”

It was a solemn voice, as if such a thing should not happen.

Hogwood, who had rushed over from the Panther territory after hearing about the portrait, laughed heartily and patted Jackal’s shoulder.

“Haha! Jackal, Eden is my son, how can he be exactly like your younger self?”

“…….”

“And you, my friend, if you were planning to draw a family portrait, you should have contacted me in advance! Now that we’re family, I can’t miss this kind of event.”

“Family…….”

“Yes, when should we hold the ceremony? You can see Kitty holding our Eden’s hand tightly, can’t you?”

“…….”

The artists, after watching the wolves’ expressions for a long time, finally began to move their brushes.

* * *

The sketch of the family portrait was soon completed.

“Then we will work based on this sketch.”

Because Eden had bribed all the artists who frequented Gridwolf, the Wibois ring that Kitty and Eden shared was described in particularly detail.

The Gridwolf wolves didn’t realize that the great Eden had done such childish and meticulous things and let it pass.

After finishing the banquet with the congratulations of many people.

Jackal tapped his champagne glass with his fingertip, drawing everyone’s attention. In front of him was a large table and official adoption papers.

“I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who has graced this meaningful occasion.”

The dignified voice of the head of the family echoed throughout the hall. Everyone who was invited to the event because of their friendship with Gridwolf or Kitty responded with applause.

“Then, Kitty.”

Caris looked at Kitty. Kitty smiled and evoked her magic.

Poof—!

Soon, a cat with light gray fur appeared on the large table.

Theo and Deon teared up at her 모습 [appearance], which was much more dignified than when she first came to the Gridwolf mansion.

“Kitty, your ears are perked up even without giving you strength.”

“Your fur is shiny, soft paw!”

“Thank you, brothers.”

Kitty walked gracefully towards the official adoption papers.

She remembered being troubled when she first wrote the temporary adoption papers in Jackal’s office because she couldn’t read the letters properly.

But now she could leisurely review all the official adoption documents.

Tap, tap—

Kitty pressed her soft paw firmly after applying enough ink. The pink jelly was pressed down, and an adorable cat footprint was stamped on the adoption papers.

Everyone at Gridwolf wore proud smiles as they watched the 모습 [scene], which was twice as big as the stamp she had made on the temporary adoption papers when she was young.

“Thank you for growing up so well, Kitty.”

“No, thank you, Mom.”

Kitty rubbed her face against Caris’s hand, who was stroking her. The eyes of those watching the scene were filled with envy.

This adoption document did not have a time limit. Kitty’s eyes were moist with the emotion that she had become a full member of Gridwolf.

‘Oh, I mustn’t cry.’

Now that her mature image had been enhanced by being chosen by the Holy Relic, she couldn’t show her tearful soft paw 모습 [appearance] again.

“I look forward to working with you all in the future.”

Kitty said with a smile. Caris, Jackal, Theo, and Deon’s lips trembled slightly.

While the Gridwolf wolves were composing themselves, Eden quickly placed a prepared handkerchief next to Kitty’s soft paw.

“Kitty, wipe it here.”

“Thank you, Eden.”

Squish—

Kitty pressed her jelly without knowing that Eden had as many handkerchiefs with her paw prints as Theo and Deon did.

Elliot placed the adoption papers in a fancy frame.

“Then I will hang this important document in the center of the mansion so that everyone can see it during the evening banquet.”

Elliot carried the frame with his shoulders wide open, as if he had received a great commendation.

Everyone who attended the banquet carefully examined Kitty’s official adoption papers. By the time they had seen the cute cat paw print, everyone had a small smile on their faces.

“Congratulations on your official adoption, Miss Kittia. It was a foreseen event, so I wasn’t surprised.”

Just as Kitty had returned to her human 모습 [form] and was sipping 홍차 [Hongcha, black tea], Grandpa appeared before her, supported by young rabbits.

“Thank you for congratulating me, Grandpa.”

“I am grateful for being invited.”

“It’s only natural. Rabbits are allies of Gridwolf, aren’t they?”

Grandpa smiled.

Although he was a rabbit beastman and did not have great magical power or strong physical strength, his years of experience had cultivated an insight that could see through the emotions of others.

There was not a single lie or pretense in the emerald eyes he was facing now.

They were filled only with joy and gratitude towards an old rabbit friend.

‘This is the kind of young lady who would have felt that the madness of the Blue Moon was like warm sunlight from the beginning.’

Grandpa glanced at Eden. He had been a little worried that the Blue Moon had melted into his body, but when he actually faced him, all he felt was warmth.

He could never have imagined that the madness that had terrified the beastmen would subside so quietly.

Grandpa was sure that most of the beastmen gathered here today would think so.

That’s why he had to ask.

“Miss Kittia. There is a matter that the night cats have discussed in the past few days. And with the leader of the brown-furred rabbits.”

“Is there a problem?”

“It’s not that, but what if we form an alliance between small animals?”

“An alliance, you mean…….”

“Small animals lack physical strength, even if they appoint the strongest in the race as their head.”

“That’s right. That’s why the concept of a head is vague.”

“What if we create an alliance of small and weak animals and then elect an alliance leader who is kind and strong enough to be trusted?”

This was because a head who could not protect his own race when the head of another race invaded was not very useful.

But if they formed an alliance and then elected a trustworthy alliance leader, things could be a little different.

Small animals each had weak powers, but their numbers were much larger than those of other races. If they formed an alliance and responded, they would surely have a solid advantage in the numbers game.

“That’s a good idea. As long as they don’t fight over the position of alliance leader.”

When Kitty expressed a positive opinion, Grandpa opened his mouth as if he had been waiting.

“Well, that won’t happen. In the current situation, the first alliance leader is as good as decided.”
