I Don't Really Want To Transmigrate

chapter 4: encounter with shiny head

Basically he found a kitten outside near the school gate and they had bonded very well together for a few days. It seems the kitten was BORNED just recently and he never it's mother. he asked his parents whether he could keep it as a pet and they agreed, it'll good if their son won't spend time outside going to sketchy places, not that he had in the first time― according to Aspen.

But because his grade was dropping lately, his parents ordered him to find a new place for the kitten, under the bridge or in the street it doesn't matter, just get rid of the cat. That's the punishment his parents came up with to punish their son for his bad grades.

Now he doesn't know where he could find a home for his cat companion, he didn't want to give it to another noble. He doesn't trust them at all, who knows what they'll do without his knowledge? So, he has to be able to know of it's wellbeing for him to be at peace. The condition for him to know about the kitten at all time is hard to fulfill itself but it's need to be a good environment for it too.

Sure, he can just put left it in a shelter or something but then the first condition will not be met.

Reginald listened quietly, so quiet he doesn't even have any expression on his face, he was just blackly staring at the ground. Aspen thought he wasn't listening and mumbled the final last few sentences of his rants before becoming silent.

"Why don't you just leave it at the school? The school environment is pretty neat, I'm sure some students or gardener would occasionally give it some food plus you can see it everyday."

Reginald suggested. Aspen had a look of surprised for a moment before he rejected the idea.

"I thought of that too, but the school don't allow animal on its ground. However no matter I think, I can't think of another suitable place, that's why I was going to places that so isolated and quiet so that I could Purry there without any one knowing her."

So that's why he was there all by himself. But his cat lives in the academy in the novel though, the school didn't allow animal? I don't remember anything mentioning about him sneakily raising the cat in the school though, the students know about his and all.

Reginald was a little confused. He opened his mouth.

"But isn't putting her in an isolated area more dangerous? If she got lost or goes missing. No one would know and help you if that happens."

Aspen's face turns a little pale by the thought and slightly nodded his head.

"....right.....Do you have a solution then?"

Aspen was known to be quite prideful among his friends but now he can't help but lower them as it's involved his prescious kitty. Honestly he wasn't sure if the rumors trash has a solution to this, why bother thinking of a solution? Even if he did, why would he tell him? Maybe he'd get him to owe him a favor for the future, but Aspen just has to grits his teeth if that time comes.

"Ask the principal for permission?"

Aspen was dumbfounded. So simple?

".... do you think he'll agree?

Reginald shrugged. "What's the harm in trying? Isn't he known to be quite the nice guy?"

"But that nice guy is also known to be righteous of the rules and law. You think he'll bended a rule for this small issues?" Aspen shots back.

Reginald gave another shrugs and asks "So, will you try?"

Aspen's contemplating, he's not wrong though. What's the harm in trying? I'm just going to ask him, that's all.

It took a moment before Aspen said 'Let's go' and Reginald followed along.

That's the only thing I can think of, in the novel, both students and teachers is aware of Aspen's cat and there was mentioned of a rumor saying how Aspen had to beg the principal. Not sure if it's after or before his kidnapped incident though. But we can try to ask if it didn't work, just have Aspen beg the principal again, simple.
