《The Unlucky Bastard is a Child???》The Unlucky Bastard is a Child?(9)

A deep sigh came from Cale's mouth.
"The food of Beacrox is truly the best"
Raon magically picked up a piece of steak and put it in Cale's mouth, while the kittens were competed for the biggest piece of meat.
"It's mine nya!"
"Noona that's unfair!"
The silver kitten was more faster.
She grabbed the steak with her small paws, and started to chewing it, the piece of the meat in her mouth was juicy and instantly melted on her tongue, but then she flinched at the noises of his brother and turned her head.
Sob
At On's gaze, Hong felt that he was going to cry and covered his face.
Besides On felt guilty and passed the steak to Hong...As his older sister, she can't ignore his tearful brother.
"Don't cry and eat!"
"Thanks Noona"
"Delicious"
Gasped.
At that moment the kittens turned to Cale.
The redhead, who was a little boy now, needed to eat more if he wanted to grow as strong and resilient...
Sigh
The two kittens begin to look at each other and frowned, as they were thinking that Cale always had leaved food without being eaten, and he had a feeble body before too. So They started to feel guilty and approached Cale with their hands down.
"Ei"
Cale, who was sitting in a baby's chair and wearing a green bib around his neck, called his kittens back and started stroking them.
His hands were much smaller and softer than Cale's large hands, but the kittens felt a strange sense of nostalgia in those delicate movements and begin to purr.
Besides Cale started to frown.
"You are so dirty"
Cale raised the kitten's heads and started to wipe the sauce off of the side of On's mouth, which was usually not needed as she was normally a meticulous eater.
Hong and On were getting a bunch of stuff on their faces, but Raon was silent as he observed them and flutter his wings.
"Me too Human!"
Cale sighed hardly as he nodded to the 'mighty dragon'.

It was all normal, however, there was someone who was quite concerned about what he was seeing.
It was Eruhaben, that was sitting at the table as well, but without eating anything.
Cale feelled the dragon's gaze, but prefer to not ask.
"Cale Henituse..."
"Yes?"
"Are you going to stay like this?"
"What did you mean?"
Eruhaben felt odd at Cale's answer, but decided to continue.
The dragon had learned from Cale, that the cause of this problem could be that black book. But it seemed to have disappeared.
'Isn't that a reason for be upset?'
Cale seemed too calm and his innocent gaze was making Eruhaben click his tongue even more.
"Don't you want to be a grow men again?"
"Grow men...What his that?!"
"...."
"Instead, we should teach you how to play hide and seek Eruhaben nim!"
Eruhaben's eyes began to tremble, then he looked at the butler. Ron was standing next to his Puppy Young Master, but his benevolent smile had grown darker and the corners of his mouth went up.
"Young Master your lemonade..."
"Mmm"
"I love your lemonade Ron!"
"Eh?"
Ron had chills.
For the first time in his life, that scary butler felt defeated, and the winner ... it was obviously Cale's smile. For some reason Cale's smile seemed so pure that even Eruhaben shivered.
'My Puppy Young Master doesn't know...'
'This Unlucky Bastard...'
Cale didn't notice everyone's complicated looks and continued to eat his steak.

"Read another page Human!"
"Another nya"
"Nya"
The children had decided to read a book before bed and On had proposed to read it, but Cale had insisted to, and since they had never seen the redhead impose himself like that, they decided to please him but...
'I can't read...'
His eyes began to blur, as the words seemed less vivid.
Being a child was hard for him.
'Why am I so sleepy?'
"You should go to sleep Cale nim..."
At that moment Choi han entered in the room, with a candle in his hand.

Cale looked up to the Black Knight, as his eyes started to get droopy for the exhaustion of the long day.
Feeling Cale's eyes on him, Choi han lips and eyebrows twitched, he wanted to smile so bad, but he suppressed himself.
"We want another story nya"
"Me too nya"
"Cale nim?"
"..."
There was no answer from the little redhead, who started to sway and falling onto the bed. He was already asleep and his little sighs made everyone feel relieved.
Then Raon snuggled up next to Cale, as well as the kittens.
Pfft
'This is cute'
Choi han found the scene cute and started to giggle silently.
Then he left the candle on a table, near the bed, and walked away from the room, without a single sound being heard. Now the only thing that it was possible to hear was the children's breaths, getting deeper and deeper as they fall asleep, but something was wrong.
Clomp clomp
There was someone with a black book in his hand who kept advancing towards the children's bed. A blank figure approached Cale's little face, then burst into a soft laugh.
"This was fun"
He waved his hand over Cale's face, and then disappeared into the darkness.
The candle died too...it was all dark now.
***
"This shit body..."
Cale had just woken up and was feeling a strong headache, his stomach was in a big pain, and he had nausea...
He felt as he'd been drinking all day before, and now he was having an hangover, however he didn't remember anything.
He got up slowly and noticed that the children were with him.
"They still sleep ..."
Cale's expression hardly changed, though he looked a little more softer when he was with the children...although he will never admit it.
He began to stroke Raon's head, then he noticed a candle near his bed, and began to think that it wasn't usual for him to sleep with candles.
He was no longer a child.
However it was in that moment that he saw it, Cale blinked his eyes but soon jumped in his feet, cursing.
He was naked...but that wasn't the problem.
"What the hell is happened here?"
His room was a disaster, it was as if a tornado had hit all of his room, except for his bed. He began to break out in a cold sweat as his fingertips were shaking.
But it wasn't because he was naked, infact, there was something that worried him more, so he started running through the shelves.
'Where the hell are they? "
"Human what are you doing?
"It's early nya"
The children, who had just got up, started rubbing their eyes and wondering why their Human was naked.
On and Hong shook their heads in disappointed, while Raon tried to slowly approach Cale. But someone opened the door.
"Young Master your breakfast..."
Ron couldn't finish the sentence, his expression stiffened up.
He could see his naked Young Master, that was a grow man already, and the room in a total mess.
"Cale nim!"
Choi han also entered in the room and immediately ran to Cale, but Cale's knees gave out, his heart pounded faster and lounder as the wet drops on Cale's faces became a stream.
"My money are gone..."
Someone had just robbed him.
Cale couldn't help but shivering from the cold, because he wasn't wearing any clothes, so Choi han put his cloak on Cale's shoulders and walked over to Ron.
"Take care of him!"
Choi han left the room.
They had a meeting with Eruhaben the night before, to talk about the owner of the black book, but seeing as Cale was a grow up man again, made Choi han click his tongue.
"That man had been here.."
He couldn't forgive himself for letting someone hurt Cale again.
But he wasn't the only one to fell guilty...the butler had a scowl on his face as well.
"You don't have to tell me this, you punk! "
The corner of Choi han mouths went up.
They both felt the same way, so he leaved the room a bit relieved.
"Why am I so unlucky?"
Cale started to grumble. He just wanted to rest already...
~~~
Me wake up every morning be like: "it is already June?"
