96 – Episode 96
“Have you ever thought of raising a mini?”
“…Yes?”
I looked down at Mini and she looked at me with bright eyes.
“Ahahahaha… I wonder if I can raise it well.”
Honestly, I was scared.
Cats are cute, but raising them is another story.
Taking responsibility for one life is not easy.
“Don’t worry, Mini is so smart, she’ll do well.”
“And I have to get permission from my family.”
“Oh, I see. Then, when you make up your mind, come find me. You don’t have to take me with you.”
“Yes”
The lady said there was no need to worry too much.
“She just wanted our Minnie to be happy, so she thought she would be okay with the young man who seemed the happiest.”
“…”
When she said that, her heart weakened again.
“Oh, I guess I only put a burden on him.”
“Nyaooong!!”
“I will leave my contact information, so if she ever wants to see Minnie, she can contact me at any time. We can meet that way.”
“Yes”
I can do that much.
“Then let’s go.”
“Yes, I had fun today too.”
After being seen off by the lady, I returned home.
“Hmm.. It’s a cat”
Cats are cute, but I raised them… I didn’t raise cats in my last life.
It’s difficult for me to raise a cat myself.
I thought about cats while watching cats on YouTube.
“Minira…”
Hmm
When I raise a mini, I feed her every day and wash her because I said she could do it once or twice a year.
“Hmm”
“Will Seo-ah be angry if I bring Mini?”
“What are you angry about?”
“Ugh?!”
When I turned around, Seo-ah was standing there.
“What is it? Cat?”
I looked at my phone and there was a cat.
“Isn’t it cute? So why does this make me angry?”
“Uh… When did you come?”
“I said I came earlier, but there was no answer, so I came quietly because I was curious about what was going on.”
“Ah..”
Thinking about Mini, I guess she didn’t hear what Seo-ah said.
“That’s right…”
I looked at Seo-ah, slightly prolonging her sentence.
“Shall I raise a cat?”
“…Suddenly? Oh, so you were watching cat videos?”
“Yes”
“But what happened all of a sudden? “Originally, you never said anything about raising a cat.”
“But today I went to the park and ran into Minnie.”
“…Mini?”
“Oh, there’s a cat I met at the cafe back then.”
“…Ah!”
Seo Ah suddenly turned her head and avoided me.
???
“What’s wrong?”
“Oh..No, that’s right, Minnie the cat! I know.. Yeah”
“hehehe, did you really think you were meeting a woman?”
“Oh…No!? “I’m not that stupid, am I?”
“I will accept you even if I’m jealous.”
“Well..Then I’ll only be more embarrassed!”
I patted Seo-ah’s head to calm her down and continued her story.
“Ah.. You’re giving up your business.”
“Yes, but they said they won’t clean up the remaining cats until they are adopted.”
“He is a good person.”
“So”
I don’t know how they manage that many cats, but it’s probably not an easy decision.
“So why did that mini suddenly run out?”
“I guess he just ran away”
“He was smart…”
Seo-ah thought for a moment and then
“By any chance.. Jihoon, did you pass by that cafe when you were walking?”
“Huh? Uh.. Maybe so?”
“That cat… Did it escape after seeing Jihoon…?”
E..A.
“Is that so? “It’s a cat?”
“He’s not a cat, I guarantee it”
Well, it’s smart, but it’s still a cat…
“So I was thinking about it”
“I see”
Actually, if you think about it, it was nonsense. Selling cats because they like them? It’s something to think about several times.
“Shall I raise it?”
“..Huh?”
But she asked if Seo-ah had a cat first.
“He said he was worried, so let’s raise it without worrying about it.”
“Ha..But growing a life is difficult..”
“I’m going to raise a child, so shouldn’t that be easy?”
“… “
It seems like a hasty decision.
“We are both at home. No matter how happy we are together, wouldn’t it be nice to have one more family?”
“…I guess so”
“I knew this would happen, so I signed a contract for a house in advance where I could raise pets.”
As expected, she was a thorough Seo-ah.. Anyway, why is that so?
“If it were you, Jihoon, I think you would have brought at least one.”
What does that mean?
“Still, I’ll leave the choice up to you, because as you said, I’m not starting out with a light heart to raise life.”
I nodded at Seo-ah’s words.
“Okay, I’ll think about it.”
I started to think seriously after that.
“Did you sleep well?”
“Yes”
As I was thinking so much, a day had already passed.
“I don’t think so~”
“Actually… I’m still thinking about it.”
“Oh, I’ll think about it for a few days.”
“But.. I’m worried about whether I can raise him well..”
“Then do you want to go?”
“Let’s go..?”
“Yes, you can decide after looking at the mini and thinking about it.”
“Is that so?”

I immediately took action upon Seo-ah’s words and called her aunt.
“Ah..Hello”
“Oh! Bachelor”
When the phone was connected, the lady greeted me warmly.
“I want to look at the Mini again and make a decision.”
“Oh really~! Okay then, it’s our mini. It’s good.”
“Yes… Then when…”
“You can come now, or tell me later when you have time.”
“Oh well.. I’ll be there in 2 hours.”
“Okay, I’ll wait with Mini~”
The phone hung up and I got ready to go see Mini.
“Then I should prepare too.”
“You too?”
“Yes, that cat needs to be sorted out in rank.”
…What do you mean? Seo Arthur..
Anyway, we went back to that cafe to see the cat.
“The young man is here..? “Afterward?”
“Oh my”
“It’s my wife! Hello, sir, I heard what you said.”
Seo-ah came out in front of me and greeted the boss.
“..Huh? Oh, you’re married, young man?”
“Yes”
Well, it’s true that they got married.
“Go inside first and sit down. Mini is inside.”
“Meow!”
Mini seemed to have already heard my voice and immediately ran over.
“Huh, where are you?”
Seo-ah blocked it.
“Shaaa!”
“Hmph, Jihoon is completely mine now, right?”
Seo-ah held my arm in front of Mini and made fun of her.
“Shaaa!!”
“Hmph!”
“What…What are you doing, Seo-ya?”
When I saw Seo-ah, she puffed out her cheeks and said
“When I look at that, it’s not a cat. I’m sure it will turn into a human at night.”
“Seoya.. It’s not my place to say, but.. I think you should stop watching anime.”
“…Tsk”
I guess it’s just jealousy
“Let’s sit down for now”
“Yes, you come too”
Seo held out her hand and turned her head to sit next to me.
“…Jihoon, I really don’t think that’s a cat.”
“I think so too, but let’s just leave it at that.”
Anyway, after a while her lady brought us tea.
“I’m sorry this is all I have.”
“No, we drink tea well.”
“That’s good, so how do you like our mini?”
“It’s cute”
“Really?”
It stuck with me even more to see if Minnie understood what she said.
“I understand young people’s concerns. Raising a cat is not easy.”
“Right.. Right?”
“Still, it’s fun and comfortable when we’re together.”
The lady saw other cats.
“All of those children are abandoned with stray cats.”
The lady looked at the wandering cats with sad eyes.
“So I tried to create a good place for children to live, but business wasn’t going well.. hahahaha.”
We heard it in silence
“I’ve been doing this for about a year, and the number of customers who come is countless.”
“…”
After hearing a slightly sad story
“That..”
“Don’t worry, I’ll find them all, and I’ll take a few of them with me.”
“Then.. The mini adoption fee..”
“..Have you decided to take him?”
“Yes”
“If the decision was made because of what we talked about earlier…”
“It’s not because of that story. To be precise, I decided after hearing that it was fun. I think Seo-ah and I will all live happily if we’re with Mini.”
“…”
The lady nodded her head and brought out several things from inside her.
“This is…”
“If you’ve made up your mind, we should send you Mini.”
“This is…”
There were tons of snacks, toilets, sand, and food bowls in portable cages.
“Take it all”
“Yes?”
“I’m not trying to sell my kids, I’m trying to make them happy.”
“Anyway, these are things that this lady already bought a long time ago. Oh, but the sand is new, so don’t worry. It’s the same with the snacks.”
“No no.. If you give me this much..”
“Because Mini is like family, that’s why I want to send her off well.”
“…”
I received the item the lady gave me.
“Meow”
“Oh, Minnie, you came to see your mom.”
Minnie suddenly came in front of her aunt.
“Oh my”
“Miao”
She showed her affection by rubbing her back against the lady’s feet.
“Miao”
She cried briefly and went into the cage.
“…Minnie”
It seemed as if she was saying thank you for everything.
“..hehehe, please take care of our Mini, young man.”
“I will make sure your Mini lives happily”
“I will help too”
She said, Ado stood next to her.
“Thank you.. Our mini has finally found a good owner.”
“Miao~”
That’s how a new family was born to us.
