Emphatic

Chapter 8

RokSoo and the others are now at where the kittens stayed.

"Ho, we have more company" The assassin, Ron said, knowing they are not ordinary cats.

'Does the young lad know this?' Ron looks at RokSoo who was attending to the kitten's injuries.

"Young lad"

"Call me RokSoo"

"...RokSoo, do you know about these cats?"

"I know they're not ordinary cats but they're still children"

RokSoo really doesn't know that they're not ordinary cats at first. It was just because in his previous world the animals surrounding him always ran away with fear when he was just nearby. 

"Ho" Ron was amazed by his response. Humans and other races like the Cat Tribe don't have a good relationship with each other. 

Humans despised them. So he was amazed that this young lad doesn't care about their race.

'If that Puppy Young Master knows it, maybe he will insult them and get beat up just like earlier'' he thought. The young lad he was facing was interesting. Unlike the young master, he was always stoic and calm even when he was panicking on the inside.

"I think we should look for an inn before we head off first" RokSoo said and the others nodded.

"Sure, RokSoo-nim" Choi Han said cheerfully.

They head to look for an inn first with RokSoo carrying the kittens.

After they found an inn, The Molran duo heads out first to buy some necessary supplies for the trip and food. Then RokSoo heads out too.

"Choi Han, take care of the kittens, I will be right back at night"

"Where are you going?" Choi Han asks.

"Sightseeing" Choi Han didn't question him further and let RokSoo go.

As RokSoo finally goes outside, he then goes to a tea shop that was owned by Bilose, the bastard son of the Flynn Merchant Guild's guild leader, and negotiates with him smoothly. After that, he immediately searches for a bakery. Why? Because it's for an ancient power.

The Indestructible Shield.

When he finally found the bakery, he buys everything in the store and makes the shop owner very happy about it.

Once he purchased the bread and put it in the spatial bag, he went to the slums to go to a well-known tree in the county.

It was in a tree called a 'man-eating tree. A tree that anyone who hung themselves on the tree became mummies overnight. Furthermore, any blood that landed on that tree instantly disappeared.

RokSoo needed that power to protect himself.

He was finally in front of the tree. Then he sees a dark hole. It was scary looking at it.

"Eat up" RokSoo said and gave the whole bag of bread to the hole. It was about less than he expected to be giving.

Also, it was talking. The novel didn't mention something like this, RokSoo thought surprised.

-It was so good~ the texture of the bread was so soft!-

The voice was evaluating the taste of the bread.

Then it continues to chatter about their backstory, and RokSoo just waits until they finish talking.

-You are a really good guy! Thanks! Here, This will protect you.-

Then a bright light wrapped around RokSoo. The light was silver in color, and the light started to become absorbed by his body. The absorbed light all gathered at RokSoo's heart.

Once RokSoo gained the Indestructible Shield. He heads back to the inn and The Molran duo is also back. They ate and slept before heading off to the Capital.

–Next Day–

It was now the day they headed out. The group is now ready to depart but RokSoo was thinking about someone.

"RokSoo-nim, are you okay?" Choi Han asks him. 

"I'm fine" He said to the man. RokSoo wasn't the type to think about someone but, he feels worried. He couldn't help but visit him first before they move.

"I'll be right back, I need to go somewhere"

"...All right then, we'll be here" Choi Han didn't ask him any further. He thinks that RokSoo was overwhelmed by the difference between Korea and this world. Heck, he just transmigrated here recently.

So he just let him go, to ease RokSoo out if he needed it.

RokSoo just as he walks, he walks faster until he is now at the mansion.

The Henituse Mansion.

He climbs up to the window again when they first get into the mansion. It was simply an abandoned area as RokSoo thinks about it. 

Then he walks to find him. But hid immediately behind a wall, when the same orange butler, called someone again and again in the room.

It was Cale Henituse's room.

"Y-Young Master, please come out" The butler said but still no answer came out of the room.

"Young Master, please. Here is your master, you need to eat at least" The butler was now worried about the Young Master, because the redhead hasn't come out of the room since yesterday at all.

When RokSoo was listening, he caught a glimpse of something from the Count's garden.

It was a redheaded person, slowly walking.

'Cale?'

RokSoo checks the person out if it was Cale. He jumps down again through the window and lands on the grass of the garden.

He then walks and walks until he sees the redhead. It was really, Cale Henituse.

Then he stepped on a twig again. RokSoo cursed himself.

Cale stop and finally looks at RokSoo. RokSoo widens his eyes because Cale Henituse that was in front of him was almost ethereal but also sickly. 

But Cale was silently crying and his eyes were dull like a doll who has no life.
