Chapter 87 Babies

Fuaaaaaaa!

Dirkhert was watching a certain scene with sparkling eyes.

Usually, Dirkhert would hide behind Meluerina or Volsung while crying, but it appears it doesnt apply to that particular man.

No matter how much the cats of the Cats Tail are used to people, approaching someone so closely is rare. Even Dirkhert gets surrounded mostly by two to three cats at once. However, more than ten cats are loitering around this adventurer. They may be aiming at the fish on the table, but theres still too many even if thats the case.

Ojisan is incredible! There are so many Neko-sans around you!

I have always been staying at this inn, after all. These fellows are already like my family

A smile floats on the mans face while he strokes the chin of a cat laying on his lap.

Hearing such words, Dirkherts eyes start sparkling one layer stronger.

Family!? You are a family with Neko-sans!?

Yeah. Especially this fellow on my lap, I helped to look after her since she was born. Toy is her name

The cat with beautiful tawny fur Toy, finds the mans hand greatly comfortable. Toy narrows her eyes while purring. Dikrhert thought to pat it as well, but when he looked at Toy on the mans lap

Are? Toy, isnt she a little different from other Neko-sans?

Shes plumper than other cats, her stomach is showing. But, its not like shes fat, her belly feels unnatural.

There are babies in this fellows belly, you see. They will be born soon

Babies!?

Dirkhert who have never seen a pregnant cat before stares at Toy with great interest. He wants to touch that belly. He extends his little hand, then pulls it back, extends it again and repeats.

He wants to touch, but hes worried whether its alright to touch.

Its alright, try slowly and gently touching her

Being told so, Dirkhert finally touches Toys plump belly.

Are babies really in there

Im looking forward to it~ Babies, be born in good health, okay?

While gently stroking the belly with his little hand.

Dirkhert thinks about the kittens that will soon come to life.
