208 – 73. Raise Me (3)
As far as May knows, cats get scared at the mere touch of water.
However, the cat brought in by Judah and Elijah stayed still even though it was washed by spraying water on its body and rubbing its fur here and there.
Thanks to this, washing the kitten went very smoothly.
Elijah looked at the wet cat.
“It got smaller.”
The fur got wet and sank, making the already small cat look shabby.
“This guy was a total loser. “I need to feed him a lot so he grows up quickly.”
Judas said, wrapping the cat in a towel and hugging it.
The warmth you can hold in your hand is so small.
It’s so fragile that if you fail to control your strength, something will go wrong.
Judas wrapped it in a towel and handed it to Elijah.
“Will Ellie do it? I somehow, um…. “It’s so small it’s a little scary.”
“Wow. Okay. I’ll do it.”
Elijah received it.
Unlike Judah, she has small hands.
She carefully wiped away the small amount of warmth that filled her hands.
She wiped away the moisture by squeezing it with a towel.
“Mmmmm…” .”
The cat meowed as if it was uncomfortable.
After Elijah gave her a thorough cleaning, she dried her cat with a calming wind spell.
In the meantime, the cat began grooming itself by licking its front paws and body with its tongue.
“It’s fascinating. “That’s how you decorate your body.”
Elijah squatted down and watched.
Judas sat next to her and watched her little creature squirm.
Time flies just by looking at it.
Maria also said something.
“How can there be such a small creature? . “But was that little child alone?”
“Yes. “I guess I was alone.”
“That’s right…. “Good job, Ellie.”
“I think so too.”
Just as the cat was licking the pink soles, May came back.
She was holding a feeding bottle for babies.
“It looks like they are still at an age where they will not be weaned, so you will need to feed them milk for a while.”
“Yes. Okay.”
“First, you can tell the kitchen to heat the milk and prepare it warm. And when feeding, please be careful to give it to them while lying down on the floor.”
When May wanted to demonstrate, she had the grooming cat stand on all fours.
“Aewooung-.”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. “Please help me for a moment.”
She cooed and soothed and put a bottle in her cat’s mouth.
Then, instinctively, the cat took the bottle in its mouth and started sucking.
“It’s cute….”
“Please do not press the bottle at this time. “Let this child control the speed at which he drinks.”
“I want to try it myself.”
“Yes, Your Majesty. Here you go.”
Elijah received a baby bottle.
The cat followed towards the bottle as if led.
After watching happily for a while, Maria returned to the barn.
Suddenly, they were the only dogs left to take care of Yuel and her family.
May also left for a moment to look for anything useful or necessary for the cat.
So only Judas and Elijah remained with him.
“So cute….”
Elijah looked at the cat and muttered as if he were possessed.
Hair that has just been washed and is sticking out.
Little ears that twitch every time they suckle.
The pointed ears moving back and forth looked like the flapping of a butterfly’s wings.
“Looks like Judas.”
“… Huh? Eh? Me?”
“Wow. “They look very similar.”
“Where on earth are you going…” ?”
“It’s black and its eyes are golden.”
“Uh…. “I guess that’s what I heard?”
Dark black hair and golden eyes.
Black fur and amber eyes.
The color combination is the same.
But I couldn’t understand it.
“He looks more like Ellie than me.”
“Where are you looking?”
“It’s a cat.”
“… ?”
“Ellie looks like a cat. “The way you look and the way you act are the same.”
“I… ?”
Elijah was embarrassed. She said
It was something she had never thought of.
Not once in my life.
Judas was rather taken aback by that reaction.
‘Is it really that surprising?’
Slightly raised eyes.
Omil and dense facial features.
Haughty expression.
Eyes that sparkle like beads.
The gait is light.
It’s not just about appearance.
In the past, Elijah had a cat-like personality.
Something that is completely unknown.
Attitudes that change arbitrarily, things like that.
It is not much different now.
When he is in a good mood, he approaches her and rubs her face, or arrogantly asks her to be pretty. Etc.
The difference from before is that she has become a very charming cat.
“I’m surprised that I know that now.”
“Umm….”
After thinking about it step by step, Elijah could not deny Judah’s claim.
Quite objectively, she has many similarities with cats.
It’s surprising that she didn’t know until now.
But she did not want to admit it.
Anyway, this cat resembles Judas more than himself.
Especially.
“No matter how much I think about it, sucking milk so persistently and passionately is more like Judas.”
“… !”
Judah looked from her cat to Elijah, then down to her breasts, and was shocked.
Because of what she said just now, the image behind those clothes came to mind.
She usually buries her face in her mouth and she does that….
“Am I right?”
“… ….”
“Why do you want to eat?”
“… !”
She didn’t mention what she wanted to eat.
But Judah knows.
Those two plump lumps of flesh.
Judah could not say anything in response to the cruel and mischievous provocation.
She just pursed her lips.
“Well, eat, no, what…” .”
“Should I tell you more?”
“Ugh….”
In the end, Judas could not say anything.
She promised herself that she would answer in another language, many times at night, and her enthusiasm burned in her heart.
Elijah, who didn’t know what was going on, just hummed and laughed leisurely.
“By the way, you eat really well.”
The cat was still holding the bottle.
“It’s cute. “Is this what it will feel like to have a baby and raise it?”
“… ….”
Judah, who was flustered by her unfamiliar emotions, also calmed down after hearing those words.
She squatted down and placed her bottom next to Elijah.
“So…. “It might be similar.”
I personally wash them and feed them.
If you hug me, you will find stability in my arms.
From noble mtl dot com
If you look at the behavior alone, there is not much difference.
The cat opened his mouth as if he had finished eating.
White milk was dripping from the corners of his mouth and beard.
Elijah cleaned her with his own hands.
Judah stared blankly at her hand, as kind and affectionate as his mother’s, as if possessed by her.
“Meet-.”
The cat whined as it approached Elijah.
She sat next to Judah, placed her cat on her lap and patted his back.
The cat’s stomach was bulging as it quickly calmed down.
“Judas. “Do you want to see the baby?”
“My child?”
“Hung.”
“Of course I want to see it. “What about Ellie?”
“Me too. And I know it’s a little impulsive, but the moment I hold this child…. “I really thought I wanted to have children.”
Judah and Elijah agreed not to get pregnant for the time being.
It was so that our alone time would not be disturbed.
They make love often and deeply, but they always use emergency contraception without fail.
He even received advice from Member of Parliament May.
There are other reasons as well.
The demon world could not be completely conquered.
Besides that, the order of this world is still unstable.
Only after Elijah conquered the demon world and established order and discipline to her satisfaction did she want to have a child.
The world that Judah lived in.
I want to create a safe country like that one.
A world where you can worry less even if your child wanders around at night.
She wanted the world her child lived in to be as peaceful as possible.
What parent wouldn’t say that?
Elijah leaned on Judah’s shoulder.
Judah naturally hugged her shoulders.
“I thought that too. This time alone with you is so precious and happy that I think it would be nice if we could live the rest of our lives alone. “Maybe even if you don’t have children.”
Judas thought deeply about those words.
I’ve never thought about it that way.
She vaguely thought that one day she would have a child.
But when I think about it, it was something I could agree with.
The time I spend with Elijah is so precious and happy.
It’s sweet like sugar on the tongue and disappears quickly.
So, even if the two of us are together for the rest of our lives, I don’t think we will feel inadequate.
I think you will be happy enough.
“But, I don’t think so. “I really want to see our child.”
Just thinking of a cat as a child makes me feel this way.
If you actually embrace, give birth, and hold yourself and your child.
How great will the happiness you will feel at that time?
Elijah didn’t want to miss it.
She really wanted to see it.
A new family that will emerge between the two.
“… “I see.”
Judas also acknowledged it.
A cat.
Previously a dog family.
Just taking care of them makes each day brighter, the environment becomes more harmonious, and happiness levels increase.
How much would change if she had a child with her.
I wanted to know.
Love is sometimes described as being sweeter when received.
One-sided and dedicated affection received from someone. A dream-like story.
Conversely, loving someone passionately is not portrayed in a very pleasant way. Sometimes they don’t even deal with it at all.
But these two people know.
Love is not about receiving, but about doing.
It is mutual communication.
Therefore, as much as receiving love, loving others also gives equal satisfaction and happiness.
Because the object’s happiness is my happiness, loving the object becomes loving myself.
A defect-free virtuous cycle structure is completed.
So now, the two people had the same thought.
‘I want to love.’
They wanted to shower their child, whom they would meet someday, with enough love to fill the world.
Elijah took Judah’s hand.
“Not yet, though. “Let’s start when we’re a little more ready.”
Anytime.
Judah is by her own side.
She is confident that she will remain by Judah’s side.
A pleasant satisfaction that fills and swells your heart with his presence.
This feeling is proof.
“Yes, Ellie.”
Judas also answered with her confident voice and kissed her.
“I love you.”
“I love you too.”
On Elijah’s lap, the cat made her purring sounds as if she was happy.
The two enjoyed the peace.
