Reincarnated in trash of the count family

chapter 5 "Fragrance of Tea with Poetry and The Man-Eating Tree" Cale pov

After meeting with Adrian, he went to the study to plan what he needs to do tomorrow and for the future

pondering over the intertwined destinies he shared with Adrian, a reincarnated soul like himself. As he planned his encounter with Choi Han for the next day, thoughts of Adrian and their conversation echoed in his mind.

"After meeting with Adrian, he went to the study to plan what he needs to do tomorrow and for the future. 'First, I need to see Choi Han tomorrow and do that,' he thought, recalling Adrian's mention of Choi Han. The corners of his lips started to slowly rise as he remembered their conversation.

'Adrian really has a way of stirring things up,' Cale mused to himself. 'I can't help but think of his words whenever Choi Han comes to mind.' It was as if Adrian's presence lingered in the air, influencing Cale's thoughts even in his absence."

As Cale contemplated his plans for the future, the memory of Adrian served as a constant reminder of the unexpected twists and turns life could take. With Choi Han on his mind and Adrian's words echoing in his thoughts, Cale prepared himself for the fateful encounter that awaited him.

  'I need to pick up a shield.'

  To live long without dying. He had no intentions of fighting.

  In order to achieve that goal, the first step was raising his defenses. Second was finding a recovery method. Third was being faster than anybody else. Fourth was a strength that does not hurt him but can kill others.

  Of course, the most important thing was to avoid the battlefield or anywhere where there may be bloodshed.

  Cale thought about these so called plans of his as he slowly closed his eyes with"

"satisfaction. He was thinking about it even as he fell asleep.

  'At least, I will not be beaten up even when the time comes for it in the novel.'

  The Indestructible Shield. Cale was thinking about this first shapeless strength he was going to get as he fell asleep. The corners of his lips that had gone up did not seem like they would ever come down.

  Fateful encounters did not have an owner. It was a first come first serve type of deal.

  The important day. What did he need to do in order to calm his nerves and be successful? Cale thought the first step was to have a hearty breakfast.

  He felt like the only thing he did after coming to this world was eating, but he was going to enjoy the meal since he will be busy for a while starting tomorrow.

  "Mm, ahem. I heard you fell asleep in the study last night."

  "It somehow ended up that way."

  He casually answered his father's question and continued to focus on the food. The fact that he did not even look at his father probably seemed rude, but it was fine since he was known for being trash"

"Cale finished eating first and stood up. The screeching noise of the chair made everyone focus on him.

"I will head out first."

It was not proper etiquette, but Cale's father Deruth just seemed to like his son no matter what. He looked back and forth at Cale and the empty plates before starting to smile.

"Sure. Go ahead."

"Thank you."

Cale needed to quickly leave because he had a lot of things to do today. But Deruth held him back for a second.

"You don't need any allowance today?"

"...I do need some."

This really was a family with a lot of money. Cale held back his smile after hearing that his father will send him the allowance through Hans and left without even saying thank you. He did make eye contact with his brother, Basen, for a moment, but Cale just ignored it and headed toward the dining room door.
