Episode 94

Chapter 19 Interest is compound interest (4)

“This is K.”

Now that I understood the characteristics of the beastmen, I intended to understand their rude behavior.

But that’s not a reason to give up the human way I’m accustomed to.

I just said that I will respect their way, so please respect my way as a human being.

“Oh.”

I don’t know if you fully understand what I meant or not.

Horpe grabbed my hand and shook it loudly.

“It’s Horpe.”

“nice to meet you.”

Horpe is the king of a tribe.

I don’t know what their power structure is, but being the head of a group is never an easy position.

‘I can’t let the king of beastmen think of me as a good catnip purveyor.’

It’s not hard to give them what they want.

However, if you give them unconditionally, you will be considered as an object that can be robbed at any time.

At least I have to tell you to be polite in order to get something from me.

Only then can respect come and go.

“I’m glad too. Do you have something called catnip? I came to get some of it.”

Since I received the minimum amount of respect, I thought I would respond to this impatient, my-pace tiger’s method.

“I have it, but… … .”

I replied calmly and took out the last catnip product left in the storage box.

Immediately, Horpe put my hand on his face and sniffed.

“What is this? Can’t you smell it?”

Instead of explaining, I opened the plastic cap and pressed my fingers.

Dull-!

“Whoah.”

I never thought I would see this sight again.

Horpe, of course, even Brecce, who was getting closer.

Two giant tiger beastmen united in front of catnip spray.

All eyes were drawn to those who were rolling around on the training ground and enjoying catnip without mercy.

Before long, Belta, who had been watching the adults who were preoccupied with catnip, jumped up and came to my side.

Then he held out the doll he was holding in his arms and said.

“This doesn’t smell, let’s do it again.”

Judging from the condition of the doll, it was seriously twisted.

‘Could it be that I’ve been wearing it all day?’

I let out a light sigh and accepted Belta’s doll.

“Go get something else while you’re here.”

“no!”

“It smells the same.”

“Then Joe.”

The guy who immediately showed his teeth and was about to take the doll changed his face completely and raised his tail high into the sky.

‘Is it simple or honest?’

Looking at it, it seems to be both.

Shaking my head excitedly, I took out another fish doll from the storage box.

‘I’ll have to wash this.’

New dolls and skins for children and catnip spray for adults.

As I was caring for cats of different sizes, I heard a familiar voice.

“Kay… … ?”

Zentler looked at me and the tiger beastmen with a confused expression.

What the hell did the beasts of the tigers of my pace become docile pet cats as a group?

Reading the more blatant question in his expression, I shrugged my shoulders and said.

“I did some magic.”

Dull.

“Hey.”

Dull.

“Hyaaang!”

Is it because the response is good? It was quite fun.

It was so addictive that I had to spray it over and over again.

‘I can see why people keep cats.’

Of course, I have no intention of growing it.

To raise a pet in a situation where there are already many people to be responsible for.

It’s obvious that you won’t be able to take care of it properly, but in the end, wouldn’t that choice be just self-satisfaction?

I reached out, shoving spray catnip into my pocket.

It was also to pick up Belta who was sitting on the ground.

“hehehehe.”

Belta was busy wandering around with her nose buried in her new doll, whether or not I picked her up.

Thanks to this, I managed to lift the child off the floor without much resistance.

I brushed off the soil and dry grass from the child’s clothes and held him securely in one arm.

Then he looked back at Chentler and asked.

“Is this the guest you were talking about?”

“… … yes.”

“All right.”

“yes?”

At Centler’s question, I felt the need for some explanation.

“It looks like you came because you got something from me.”

I shook the spray bottle in my pocket and continued.

“If you come to your senses, I will give it to you, so don’t worry.”

If the effect of the catnip wears off, give it a spray bottle and send it back.

‘They seem to be a tribe that practices keeping things simple, but if they get catnip, they’ll go back.’

That’s why I told Centler that he didn’t have to keep his seat.

“ah.”

When I added a short explanation, Chentler let out a shallow exclamation as if he finally understood.

Afterwards, he looked down at the tiger beastmen with a complicated expression, then slightly lowered his waist and said.

“Then let’s go back.”

After Centler had gone, I looked around with two catnip-drenched tiger beastmen next to me.

It was to find Allens, who had been harassing him a while ago, but unfortunately, he could not be found at the training ground.

‘Did it just jump out… … .’

There is still some ink left over from the kitchen, unfortunately.

Of course it wasn’t a big deal. It’s obvious where Allen will go in this mansion.

Knights have to periodically stand in order to guard the mansion, as well as be inside the mansion to be able to respond quickly in case of emergency.

It means that it is in the palm of my hand unless I am off duty.

‘You can go home later.’

I held Belta in my arms and waited for the tiger beastmen to come to their senses.

The two adult tigers began to come to their senses as I practiced the movement magic while watching the three spotted tails sway around me.

“Because it is airtight, it will be comfortable to use.”

Horpe, who had regained his composure, said while accepting the spray can with a fresh face.

“Don’t pay the price later.”

“yes?”

“Aren’t humans sensitive to such things? I mean give and take.”

At first glance, it seems like a word that pinches the calculating attitude of humans.

There was no sense of sarcasm in the way he spoke or looked at his expression.

Then the reason I say that is simple.

‘It’s just straightforward.’

Beginning with Belta, she stated exactly what she wanted.

The same goes for Horpe.

‘The humans I’ve seen in the past must have been obsessive or sensitive to trade.’

Of course, there seemed to be no subjective evaluation or personal likes or dislikes about him.

I just said what I see.

There was no need to react sharply to words that did not mean much.

“In my case, it’s more that I hate debt than I like trading.”

Wasn’t it working hard to pay off that debt a little while ago?

At my answer, Horpe leaned back and smiled cheerfully.

“Ha ha ha!”

Then he tapped me on the shoulder.

“Eww.”

It was a hand so heavy that the body, which had been standing still, tilted to one side.

Just when he managed to keep his balance without falling, Horpe’s hand fell off.

Of course, it wasn’t his will. After revealing this, Belta grabbed his hand and bit him, so he had no choice but to retreat.

“Do not touch!”

“Huh?”

“It’s mine! I found it, I brought it!”

At that, Horpe grabbed Belta by the back and lifted her up.

“Would you like to see this guy building this?”

“Leave this! Let go! I mean, go away!”

“That is not to be said. Why did I come here as soon as I left the plains? I’ll take you with me all day, so be prepared.”

“I hate it!”

hahahahaha, Horpe raised her voice and laughed, and just as she lifted Belta, she moved on.

I looked at the back of the two and smiled lightly.

‘It’s so consistent.’

Not only when they come, but also when they go, they are arbitrary without being bound by the formality of greeting.

‘In a way, it seems to be free.’

It was very different from the way I’ve lived, but it didn’t make me feel bad or uncomfortable.

It must have been thanks to a little understanding of their ways through a few encounters.

It’s been awhile since I’ve been watching the couple getting away.

“Anyway, he’s a noisy guy.”

I heard tsk and click my tongue, so I looked away and saw a large figure squatting next to me.

Perhaps feeling my gaze, Brecze raised his head and said.

“It’s Velta. Who the little guy looks like is very arbitrary.”

I’m not in a position to tell my in-laws.

I was stunned and just stared at it, and Brecce tilted his head.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“I don’t believe you ask because you don’t know.”

“what?”

If he knew, he wouldn’t have asked that question in the first place.

Instead of pointing out his actions, I shook my head and turned around.

“Are you not going?”

“why me?”

Well, just because you came together doesn’t mean you have to go together.

It’s just that the destination was the same, but if the purpose of the visit was different, wouldn’t it be possible to act separately.

“I came with both sides. You said see you again.”

As expected, Breche sat on the floor with his buttocks on and spoke carefreely.

The purpose of Horpe and Brecce’s visit was different.

‘That one came to get catnip, and this one came to see me.’

Belta probably caught up with the two beastmen when they said they were going.

“You?”

“hmm?”

“Aren’t you going out? All the other strangers are going to the polluted land.”

“Ahh.”

I lifted my eyes and checked the symbol above my head.

It still stands out, but now the title of being the only one has been taken off.

While I was learning magic, some of the leading ranks finished their joining missions.

‘Ethan alone has already exceeded 20,000 mana’

So yesterday and today I went hunting. Because if I delayed it, I would fall behind.

“Have you been?”

“okay? When are you going next time? come with me.”

“what?”

“You say you like killing a lot of monsters? I’ll catch you.”

So, I’ll help you hunt, so give me some catnip?

From Horpe to Brecce.

I felt like I knew how the beasts looked at humans in this world.

‘no.’

Breche might have wanted to take a pity after hearing what Horpe said.

Until then, he didn’t think much of it, but when Horpe talked about the deal, did he feel that he had to give something too?

‘Well, the reason doesn’t matter.’

Breche’s accompany was unplanned, but there was no reason to refuse.

“I am fine. Let’s go right away tomorrow.”

So, he happily nodded.

“What time?”

I usually train with the Knights in the morning.

Considering the schedule, the hunt with Breche… … .

“I think we can meet at the gate at half past one.”

“I’m going to sleep for a few days. Horpe-nim is coming to see my mom and won’t be going home for a while.”

“Then we can go out together.”

“Okay, see you tomorrow.”

Breche waved his hand and went in the direction of the mansion.

On the other hand, I took out the snack the kid in the kitchen had given me a while ago and turned to the other side.

“Shall I go too?”

It was in the direction of the knights quarters.

Now that Horpe is back, shouldn’t we find Allens hiding somewhere away from me?

Anyway, it was my hobby that I got used to over the past few days.

* * *

The next day, after morning training, I had lunch with Ahel and conducted a magic class.

I have to hide the reverberation of my magic before going out, so I’m going to have a good time.

Until then, he hadn’t thought it strange that Brecce hadn’t appeared.

‘Because some people prioritize sleep over appetite.’

To put it bluntly, my appetite comes first.

It’s not a big deal just because it’s different from me, and I thought it would come down on its own when the time came.

However, when it was time to depart, Brecce did not appear.

I wondered if something had happened, so I checked Brecce’s situation through the attendant… … .
