Chapter 55: A kitten
The city of Brinein on the weekends are so busy that resting in a coffee shop for more than 15 minutes is impossible. In that particular situation, Viktor was sitting in the central park peacefully and enjoying the circus party playing their tricks.
"Today's weather is great, master. The winter will be very soon this year."
Adonis was enjoying his hot coffee on the bench beside Viktor.
"Yes. But this year, the winter will hit differently in Vestrain. The winter will not go away for two years straight and it will create a great disaster. Thousands of people will die due to the cold, and lack of wood and food supply. Also, it will be the death of…."
"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY!!!!"
Viktor was stunned to hear a voice from his back. So he turned around and saw a young man. He looked like he was in his mid-20s.
"May I ask who you are?"
"Forget about that part. What did you say just now? Was it true? Moreover, how do you know about that? Are you some cheap future-telling wizard?"
"Maybe? Maybe not? Anyways, I don't like unknown people following me around. Excuse me now please, I have to go. Come on Adonis."
"Yes, master."
This winter wasn't mentioned in the book I wrote. I came across so many people who had half-red books above their heads. So, I checked it and I saw that they will all die because of the cold. And it will take about two and a half years to melt the snow.
I have to buy food supplies as much as I can. Because I genuinely don't care about those people. Because if I save them, they will think I've taken their whole life's responsibility. It's like, "I saved the drowning man, so I should take all the responsibility."
"Master, this is the lady's shopping district. Are you sure we are going in the right direction?"
"Yes. We have a lot of things to buy today."
Ting! Ting!
Viktor opened the door and saw it was filled with ladies from noble families.
"Good morning gentleman. Are you here to buy dresses for your fiance?"
"No, for my assistance."
Adonis was so confused that he started to imagine himself in ladies' dresses.
"Oh my. How wonderful. Please take a seat and we will show the dress."
The shop worker left the reception room and a girl came closer to Viktor and said,
"You are Viktor, right? The commoner who scored first in the exam?"
Viktor looked at her and said, "Aren't you that lady who cried in my class because you forgot to write your name?"
The customers who were inside the shop listened to his words.
"Oh my! I thought she said she passed but didn't attain it for the commoners. How childish."
"Hah? Why do a commoner like you dare to speak to me? Guards!! Take him out!!!"
But the guards inside the shop didn't even move. Because they know, harming a student from Lyfrone is a serious crime.
"Looks like the lady doesn't know how Lyfrone academic students are treated. Sorry sir, please forgive this lady."
The receptionist came back with so many dresses with her. All of them were so expensive and newly made that they attracted every customer of the shop. But it was only for Viktor.
"How dare you say that!!"
"Excuse me lady, the students from Lyfrone are considered the kingdom's geniuses. Not even a king can buy him with money."
Why am I treated like this? It's embarrassing.
"Ahem! I'd like to buy something, miss…"
"Sorry, sir. Please come this way."
These are so heavy, I need something light for her.
"Show me something light. And I need winter coats, boots, women's innerwear maybe?"
"Please write down the size sir."
"Hmmm… here you go."
I wrote that side character, of course I know everything about her -_-.
After searching and picking up things for her, Viktor brought his and Adonis's clothing for winter. When they were on their way somewhere, Adonis asked him,
"Master, can you explain what is going on inside your head?"
"Oh, we are going to take someone new into our house today."
"Someone new?"
"Yes, and now we are heading to the place where she is."
Viktor stopped near a pub and looked at a small blue kitten covered in dirt laying there and snaking.
"See that kitten? Go and pick her up. We are going to take her home."
"Yes, master."
At least I was able to save her at the right moment.
Back at home.
"Master, I am so curious. Why did you buy those human clothes for a kitten?"
"Don't worry. You will get to know her very soon."
Viktor took the kitten inside the newly prepared room and wiped her whole body with a wet fabric to get rid of the smell and dirt.
"She's all clean now. It's feeding time."
Viktor took a small spoon and fed her something really odd and smelly that made her shake even more. Her wounds all over her body were recovering quickly, but something inside her was scathing too quickly.
"Master! I can smell her now. She's not a normal kitten. She's an ice cat."
"You finally understand it now. Yes, she's an ice cat and she's going through her coming of age now. She will turn into a beautiful ice girl any minute."
"I can't wait to see how she transforms! This is my first time seeing an ice cat. I've read about them in books."
Both Adonis and Viktor were so curious that they were looking at her without blinking.
"Master, are you going to make her your assistant?"
"Depends on the situation. She might even try to run away, or look for her family. I can't be so sure about it."
I can't read her book because she isn't registered in my records yet. She isn't a part of the reincarnation circle yet. Her records will be opened when she transforms into an adult person.
"Adonis, go close the window and the door tightly. She will try to run away at first."
"Yes, master."
I feel like I'm committing a crime.
