104. Oh, no―.
the youngest.
Season, a male calico cat, tilted his head and his whiskers twitched.
“… It’s for humans to eat. If we eat it, it’ll be a disaster.”
The tree, listening to the conversation between autumn and the seasons, reached out and stroked the head of the calico cat, Season.
“That’s right. It’s for humans to eat. But I’ll pack it for you so you can eat it.”
At the tree’s words, the five cat brothers’ actions suddenly stopped.
Their eyes seemed to ask, ‘Really?’ ‘Really?’ ‘Real?’
The tree laughed at those eyes.
Phew-
‘You’re so cute.’
Ahem—
The tree cleared its throat and opened its mouth to look at the cats.
“Tomorrow… … .”
The cats were excited by the tree’s promise.
The tree brother, who is the butler and guardian of nature, said he went into town to buy some snacks for them.
The cats were so excited that they were wiggling their butts.
“But you guys still have to shampoo.”
“Kkwaaaa, Shampoo Sireoong”
Under the tree’s gaze, the cats quietly went back into the hot spring where Abel was.
“You little punks―”
The tree looked up at the sky and smiled at the cat and Abel.

The next morning.
After sweeping the yard and eating a quick breakfast, the tree
When you step out to do field work.
I could hear the sound of a bicycle from far away.
I turned my steps towards the field and headed towards the gate.
“Brother—Brother Tree!”
He opened the gate at Hong Saimdang’s call.
Rattling—
“Long time no see?”
“Uh- yes. It’s been a while… How are you… …”
At the tree’s greeting, Hong Saimdang’s eyes turned into those of an owl.
“Why did you suddenly change like this, hyung?”
“What have I changed?”
The tree asked as if it was curious.
Hong Saimdang quickly scanned the trees.
He opened his mouth like a machine gun.
“His tired and worn-out complexion has disappeared, and his originally white skin has turned into clear and healthy skin with a glossy sheen. And on top of that―. Since he’s so tall, if you put him in a suit, he’d be a real fashion model? No, even if he were a celebrity, everyone passing by would nod their heads.”
The tree felt a little dumbfounded at Hong Saimdang’s words.
“What about celebrities? I look like I’ve changed that much?”
“Yes, that’s right. Have you had any changes in your mind?”
Hong Saimdang looked at the tree with sparkling eyes.
Eyes full of curiosity.
It was a question that seemed to ask what on earth I had been doing.
“No, it’s not that. I was feeling a bit unwell, but I’m feeling better now.”
Hong Saimdang was delighted by the tree’s words as if it were her own.
“Yes? That’s really fortunate. Bora was really worried… … .”
Saimdang seemed to think for a moment and then continued speaking.
“When I went to Dong-A Land with my brother, after the zoo and aquarium, Bora thought a lot about this and that. She sighed a lot while taking care of the cats… … .”
“Whew―. I thought so. You and Bora came for a little while during the vacation and then didn’t come for a while, so I wondered if something was up.”
Hong Saimdang held out what she was holding in her hand.
“Oh, right―! Hyung― Bora said to bring this to me.”
“What is it?”
What was in the envelope that Saimdang gave me was a performance ticket.
There were four sheets in total.
“Circus of the Moon? This is… … why on earth are you giving it to me?”
The tree looked at Saimdang curiously.
“Bora’s mother, who is my aunt, is a performance planner and she gave Bora a VIP ticket because the schedule for this ‘Circus of the Moon’ was set.”
“Aha. So you and I and Bora are going like this?”
“What―. Right? Ehehe―.”
“Is Bora watching me? Is she ordering you around instead of giving it to you herself?”
Saimdang nodded while touching Abel’s fur as he ran towards her.
“Well― I can’t say no. After that accident, Bora has been coming here very rarely.”
“I thought you came here often, but you didn’t?”
“What… … I almost dragged you here.”
“… Tell Bora that I got the tickets to the concert. And if I’m going to do it, can one more person go?”
“One more?”
“Yeah, my friend Dr. Joo Han-eum.”
“You went to Dong-A Land together, so of course we can go together.”
The tree smiled at Saimdang’s words.
Saimdang, who had been staring blankly at the sight for a moment, suddenly came to her senses.
“Ah―. Then I’ll go first.”
“Okay. Tell her she can come and see the cats in the evening. Ask her why she skipped work for a while.”
“Huh? Was that our part-time job?”
“Yeah―. Children.”
“Then― I’ll come with Bora in the evening. Hyung. Have a nice day today!”
After Saimdang greeted the tree vigorously.
I pedaled my bike excitedly to school.
Woof woof
Abel opened his mouth after seeing her greeting him, telling him to be careful.
“We have a lot of work to do today, so let’s finish quickly, Abel.”
“yes!”

That afternoon.
After [SeeYou]’s truck came in and loaded all the boxes of salad vegetables onto the truck and left.
The tree also finished preparing to go to town.
at that time.
The five cat brothers came up to the tree and put down the branches they were holding.
Gororong- Gororong-
The tree chuckled as it saw the cats singing and their eyes half-open.
“You guys will prepare the ingredients. I just have to make the dogwood soup for you?”
The tree looked back and forth between the spit-covered dogwood branches and the cats on the ground.
The youngest tricolor cat, Season, opened his mouth to sing Golgol Song.
“It was like that at the hot spring last night. Butler Hyung-ah
“He said he’d make it for me… … He just told me to bring the ingredients.”
“So you only brought the ingredients? This isn’t enough?”
“Ahh? It’s not enough?”
“Yeah – It’s not enough. You’re not the only ones drinking it. There are also friends working behind the scenes. Are you guys going to drink it in secret?”
When the five cat brothers stopped chattering at the same time, silence fell on the yard.
“Oh, we were only thinking about ourselves.”
“Let’s go back. Let’s go and pull out some wood.”
The cat’s words made the tree playful.
“Huh? You guys are picking on me right now?”
“… … .”
“… … .”
The cats’ pupils dilated and narrowed momentarily.
I wondered what the butler was talking about, but then I realized what he meant and shook my head.
“Brother―. It’s cold.”
“Go to town quickly.”
“This is not fun!”
It was the tree that lost interest in the cats’ reaction.
“Tch―.”
“Don’t be shy. Hyung-ah is our giant cat tree. No one can pick Hyung-ah.”
The tree smiled at the youngest’s words and patted their heads.
“If you look at the basket by the faucet, there’s a bowl for the persimmons you brought. Put them in there. My brother will come and make them for you.”
The cats answered the tree’s words in unison.
I ran into the field.
“Abel – take good care of your friends.”
“yes!”
“Ah— if Bora and Saimdang come, please ask them to clean the cat house and brush the kittens… … Ah, I guess it would be better if I write it down and go.”
The tree quickly wrote a note on a post-it note.
After sticking it on the porch door, I headed into town.
* * *
A tree was brought into a supply store that was located next to a large animal hospital in town.
The clerk at the desk at the animal hospital, who had been in the supplies store for a while, looked at the tree and pretended to know it.
“It’s been a while since you’ve been here?”
“Oh, that’s right. Please give me some cat food and kitten food today. If you have some catnip sticks and cat leaves, would you give them to me?”
“Excuse me. Director Jeong―. Ssam’s guardian is here!”
The desk clerk called the tree the guardian angel.
Among the cats working in the fields.
The name of the mackerel-striped cat that was recently neutered was Ssamjang.
Since the onset of heat, they have been fighting and arguing, so the tree was named Ssamjang.
The store manager, Jeong, seemed really happy.
“Oh my, oh my―. Ssami’s dad―! It’s been a while. Your face has brightened up? You look so good.”
Although the tree was not used to the old woman’s chatter, it smiled awkwardly and greeted her.
“How have you been?”
“No― Ugh… … .”
The middle-aged woman called Director Jeong in front of me.
The name written on the name tag was Jeongmiso.
Jeongmiso She was the mother of the male student who abused the Maltese dog yesterday.
“What happened…?”
Jeongmiso frowned at the tree’s question, which contained concern.
“That happens a lot… No. More importantly, what did you say about the feed?”
As Jeongmiso began to change her words, Namu talked about the things she needed to buy.
“How would you like the dog and cat food, kitten food, and cat supplies delivered? Or would you like to pick them up?”
“I just brought the car, so if you could just drive it to the parking lot, I can take it. But… …what happened yesterday?”
The tree asked, carefully looking at Jeongmiso’s expression.
She sighed, running her hands over her face.
“Only Ssam’s dad knows. Okay?”
The tree nodded at Jeongmiso’s words.
Then she looked around, lowered her voice, and told what had happened.
“Yesterday, my son was home alone, and I don’t know if a thief broke in or what, but he was tortured to the point of being covered in blood, what the heck.”
“… Torture?”
“Yeah―. The hospital asked if I had been tortured. And on top of that―. Yesterday, my dog was attacked by that thief and was almost dead, so he’s in the hospital room right now… … I’m really upset… … .”
“… … .”
“And by the way, what the police said was even funnier. Someone reported my son abusing a dog. Oh my god—it was unbelievable.”
“… … .”
“I really need to catch the person who made that false report and snap their fingers.”
While chatting, Jeongmiso began to pack the things the tree had asked her to pack.
The tree’s eyes sank as it looked at the sight.
‘Even if she knows the truth, will this woman protect her son?’
Jeongmiso is with the things ordered by the tree.
I put feather toys and balls like bouncy balls in the cart because cats like them.
“Okay, that’s it. I’ve prepared everything, and this is provided as a service.”
“… Thank you. But… … .”
The tree asked Jeongmiso a small favor.
Let’s say you want to see the injured dog.
Jeongmiso seemed embarrassed and soon guided him to the animal hospital room.
“This child is our Miru.”
A small white puppy appeared in the tree’s eyes.
He had wiped the blood from his fur, but he was still wrapped in a scarf because of the wounds all over his body.
Is it because I can hear the owner’s voice?
The small Miru tried to get up, groaning.
“Miru― It’s okay―. It’s okay, lie down. Ssami’s dad. You have to come out soon―.”
“yes-.”
After Jeongmiso left the hospital room.
The tree released a little of the guardian’s energy.
Okay then.
The animals’ squeaking became more frequent.
From cats to dogs.
I could hear the breathing of the children in the hospital room becoming more comfortable.
Phew―
The tree let out a short sigh and looked at Miru, who was sleeping with a relaxed expression.
That puppy’s wounds will heal quickly and he will be healthy again.
Because we breathed nature’s healing power into the children in this hospital room.
As the tree leaves the hospital room.
Jeongmiso was talking to a tall, well-built man.
“Oh, no—my son is not like that.”
