After killing monsters and getting Gojo cats

39-40

Chapter 39

Along with a series of system prompts, the space in front of me began to twist and change.

Gradually, the familiar forest appeared in my field of vision.

The sound of the wind blowing through the branches and leaves rustled into my ears, making me dazed for a moment.

Until I felt a furry touch on my calf.

I lowered my head and looked.

The tall and handsome boy had disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by the kitten I was most familiar with.

The kitten was looking at me with the dark sunglasses on his beautiful eyes, and scratching the skin on my calf with his furry claws.

I looked at him, and I felt that the chaotic and irritable heart in the previous copy suddenly became extremely peaceful and serene.

Sure enough, he was in this state that made me feel most at ease.

At the same time, I also felt a little complicated.

Because I was so useless, I could only rely on my kitten to protect me when I encountered danger, and I even felt relieved when it was over.

I seemed to have completely become a waste, but it turned out that... it was not like this.

I thought that this way of life was the easiest, but now it seems that it is not entirely true.

Peace doesn't seem to bring me the sense of security I need. I'm afraid I have to change my way.

In the past, I didn't have the care of my loved ones. All my sense of security came from money, so I worked hard to make money. Even if the pressure was so great that I became addicted to cigarettes and alcohol, I would feel at ease as long as I saw the balance of my bank card. Now I wanted to change my way of life, but the result seems to be going in a worse direction.

The kitten at my feet was still meowing, interrupting my thoughts. I squatted down and picked him up, paused my thoughts, rubbed my cheek against the soft fur on his head, and felt that my body and mind were healed.

"Let's go home."

I said to him softly.

Before I took a few steps, I heard many familiar voices again.

"Master Shimotsuki is back!"

"Wow, it's really Master Shimotsuki!"

"I'm so glad you're okay...!"

"..."

It was the sword men.

When they saw me, their faces were full of emotion, and even their eyes and noses began to turn red. They looked like they were about to cry.

I have never experienced this feeling... of being the center of attention as soon as I got home.

They seemed to have been worried about my comfort and were looking forward to my return.
