I Don't Really Want To Transmigrate

chapter 4: encounter with shiny head

Reginald interrupted his internal prayers and spoke up.

"Why are you crying? You look as if I'm going to eat you alive." Reginald said jokingly having no expression on his face, making one thinks he's being serious.

...why are you saying that! Its so ominous, it's like you're really going to eat me alive!!

Shaking, Aspen spoke up with a muffled voice "...it's none of your business-"

Meow~

He was interrupted.

The white cat Aspen was patting earlier was now rubbing it's head on Reginald's leg. He looks at the cat for a moment then lift it up.

Mew~

He held the cat in his arm and rubs it's head for a bit before responding to Aspen.

"Right, but you look so ugly that I can't help it, did your love got rejected by this adorable thing?"

In his past life, ever since he was young, animals tend to be friendly towards him, he'd thought this is how animals are but that thought was proven wrong by his idiot friend, just showing his face is enough for the animals to hate his guts.

Aspen is flabbergasted by multiple things, he came just to calls me ugly.. wait no did he just called her adorable??? Him?! Also, he had to spend 2 months convincing the little kitten that he's as innocent as an angel and have it lowered his guard. But the scene he'd just witnessed is making him wants to vomit blood.

Why is she trusting him so easily???!

Somehow, the sorrow he was feeling suddenly got overthrown by anger.

"How.. did you get Purry to cling to you like that??!! What dark sorcery did you performed?!!?"

....Purry????

Whoosh― rustle

Maybe because it was getting darker and cold wind is blowing more in the night. The sound of wind passes by the pair and blow the leaves as it hit each other making rustling noise.

Somehow, Reginald felt cold. He didn't want to stay here any longer and called out to the boy that's several steps away from him.

"Are you going to keep standing there?  I'm leaving― I'm also taking this little guy with me since he likes me more."

"...Hey! She's a female..."

"Whatever."

Aspen yelled, wanting Reginald to stop but Reginald turned and took a step away from him as if he's leaving.

Reginald bluffed about taking the cat as he wants the boy to follow him out of this isolated place. Well, if he didn't, he would just dragged out him by the collar himself, but he didn't really want to do it, too much work.

Fortunately though, Aspen followed him out.

Although Reginald's body leans more on the cooler side, that doesn't mean he gets cold more easily. In fact, his resistant to the cold is to a certain extent.

The reason he felt cold was because, just now, when the leaves rustling by the gust of wind. Mixed with the rustling was the sound of a leaf crunching, as if it's was stepped on but the noise was too faint and Reginald wasn't sure if he had heard correctly or he was just paranoid. However, he then picked up the sound of the leaves scrapping as it rubs against the hard fabric of clothes. Someone is here.

Reginald had a strong feeling that the person is not student at this school.

After Aspen got out of the back of the building, he became quite the chatter mouth.
