Chapter 353 - A Cat Boy's Cuteness
-----
This damn perverted vixen! She totally heard us do the deed…
Ugh, well, whatever, next time I will unsummon her and she'll cry her lungs out, but I won't care.
"Next time you spy on us I will unsummon you for a week," I said.
"W-What?! No! I-I am sorry!" the little pink fox cried desperately, as she kneeled before me.
"I already said what I had to say… Now let's go take a bath, Benladann…" I sighed, as Benladann followed me from behind.
As we took a relaxing bath of warm water to clear our minds, we began to discuss what had happened yesterday and what should we do now.
"The whole thing with the cat boy? I see. Indeed, I still remember it, obviously. And I can tell that you're worried, even after relaxing in here, you're all concerned, aren't you?" she sighed.
We were relaxing bath in the bathtub, I rested my head over her soft and pillowy chest, while she embraced my hips with her beautiful legs and gave me a message on the shoulders. God, she's amazing at making her husband relax completely…
"Indeed, I am quite concerned. I did save him rashly and I don't have any regrets doing that. But to be honest, I don't even know what he might have gone through, I fear that we might end up throwing ourselves into a lot of trouble which I don't want to involve myself with." I sighed.
"Hmm… I understand… No one is forcing you to do anything of that, saving the child's life is enough, to be honest. I don't like to sound rude here, but if the kid forces you to help him and do something that is way out of our scope, you will have to simply reject it. Let's not involve ourselves further than this if possible." She said.
"Ah, your words always hit the spot. I think the same… I suppose. But what can we do for now? Something that is within our reach? Even if we help him, wouldn't whatever that made him like this come to bite our backs one day? Perhaps by simply saving him… we already condemned ourselves to get involved without any way to step back from the situation at all… Should I feel regrets by having saved him then?" I wondered.
"I-I think you're being a bit alarmist there, dear… Don't overthink stuff too much. There might be many things behind the child, but let's do things step by step instead of worrying so much about things you're only speculating rather than things that had actually happened… I know you're a bit nervous sometimes but relax." Said Benladann.
Ah… She's right there. Maybe I am going a bit too far there? I had indeed exaggerated the whole situation a bit too much there.
"Though… If we speculate, then perhaps… but we don't know the full story yet. So we can't say much over it. nonetheless, you're a kind-hearted man, dear. You saved me the same way you saved him, right? I also ran to save the kid, I just can't see a kid in the ground almost dying and simply do nothing about it." said Benladann.
"You're a good woman…" I said.
"And you're a good man. Doing something like that without thinking is very impressive. I would guess people in this harsh world of cultivation are too involved in fighting and growing stronger, that they grow detached from their true feelings and emotions, and become selfish and senseless drones that only think of themselves… It is not bad to think on your own safety, but if one has the strength to help others in need, I don't see anything wrong with doing so." Said Benladann.
"Hm, in that we can agree… If I have the strength and the resources to help another person, there's nothing wrong with helping them then. Dragon or not, in my previous life we were humans, and that's what we are taught as a human… Right?" I wondered.
"Well, I wasn't taught any of that! But my mommy and daddy always told me to be gentle." Said Benladann.
"Hehe, I suppose we are different in many things at the same time, but we also kind of think similarly, don't we? Now, let's get back to the shower." I said.
"Hm~ How about we do some warmup to cheer my man up?" asked Benladann, as she began to caress my torso with her hands.
…
After the shower and something else, we decided to move out, drying ourselves and then getting into fine clothes to finally greet the kid. I received a message from a slime clone that Yuki and the other kids were currently with the boy, named Cassim.
He had woken up early in the morning, sleepy and tired, and he was terribly cute too. The boy seemed to be around five years of age, very small, the same age as most of the children here.
When we got to greet him, he timidly thanked us.
"T-Thank you so much for helping me… in my direst of moments…" he said, as his cute cat tail waved around.
Oh god, Cat-kin in this world is truly cute.
"T-There's nothing to thank us for. We did what anyone would do." I said.
"B-But still…" he said, as he suddenly hugged my leg because he was too tiny to reach me.
"Aww… You're such a sweetheart." Said Benladann, as she caressed his silky head, his cat ears twitched timidly as he began to purr.
He purred! Ah! He's really lovely! I want him as my son now!
…
Ahem! Forget what I said.
"Have you eaten anything yet, Cassim?" I asked.
"N-No…" he muttered timidly.
"Alright then, let's go eat something!" said Flayr.
"Yeah, come with us…" said Noirenn.
"Come!" said Hansel.
"We'll lead the way." Said Ruby.
The kids all helped Cassim slowly break the ice and quickly open up to everyone's cheerful and gentle personalities. He seemed to hold a lot of pain in that gaze, we had to treat him with care.
