Chapters Chapter 88. Capturing Drakan’s heart (1/2)
“Milord.”
Kwak-Jung, who was by Kang Chul-In’s side called him.
“Well, this time around we have captured 10 cat demi-human, right?”
“Yes. What about it?”
“Umm… Are you going to use all of them as assassins?”
“For now, that is the plan.”
“Ehem…”
Kwak-Jung coughed, and his face reddened.
“Milord… the thing is…”
Due to Kwak-Jung’s embarrassed expression and quietly spoken words, Kang Chul-In started to get annoyed.
“Say what you want quickly. I do not have much time to waste.”
“Oh… yes… The thing is… Is it possible… to put one of the cat-women as… my Secretary? Ehem… I am the Tactician of Laputa, afterall… One secretary should…”
“Hehe… I think a secretary would definitely allow me to work better, and focus more on my tasks.”
“No.”
“Is it not possible…?”
Kwak-Jung’s expression showed dissappointment.
“I know for a fact that if I let one of them be your secretary, you definitely wouldn’t work faster, or focus on your task. It’s obvious that you would spend your day trying to flirt with that ‘Secretary’ of yours.”
“N-No! That’s not true…”
“I think it would be better entrusting a cat with a fish.”
“...Then why not entrust a cat to Kwak-Jung?”
POW!
As he said that, Kwak-Jung’s face fell to the ground from shock. Kang Chul-In had flicked him on the forehead.
“Ow….”
“Kwak-Jung.
“Yes, milord…”
“They’re not objects.”
“....”
“If you really want a secretary like that, then go ask them yourself. If they agree, then I’ll allow you to keep one as your Secretary.”
“R-Really?”
“You know that I do not go against my words.”
“T-Thank you, milord!”
And as soon as Kang Chul-In gave permission, Kwak-Jung scurried off, looking happier than ever.
“Hmph… What terrible personality he has.”
Lucia stared at Kwak-Jung’s back distastefully, as he scurried off quickly.
“Ehem… I can’t say that I do not sympathize with Soldier Kwak, though.”
Billy Halford spoke, embarrassed.
“Cat-women are probably every man’s dre… Cough. Never mind.”
“Milord… As expected.”
“Huh?”
“I’m just saying it’s like milord to not be enchanted by the looks of those foolish cat people. Hoho.”
Lucia seemed satisfied that Kang Chul-In, unlike the other men, was not that excited about capturing the Cat-women.
It was at that moment.
Along with a pained scream, the sound of a loud cat came from elsewhere.
“Uuu… Why can’t they just say no if they don’t want to…”
And Kwak-Jung appeared, his face looking crest-fallen.
“Hohoho! It seems like Soldier Kwak has learnt a lesson from those foolish cats? Those cats have a feisty personality, and they do not appreciate people that are weaker than them… Like you.”
Lucia laughed, as if she felt that it was pleasurable looking at Kwak-Jung’s pain.
“What, are all demi-humans like that?”
Kwak-Jung asked, full of bitterness.
“No, but those cats are just a special case. Those Cat-women… you can just think of them as angry, female cats. Umm… I think maybe the Ho-people (Fox-humans) would be a good fit for you.”
“W-What? You want me to go with people that have tiger heads on them?” (Ho translates to either 狐=fox, or 虎=tiger in 한자 or Han Zi, the traditional korean letters based on chinese)
