Entrance to the Royal Class garrison among the temple garrisons is guarded by selected soldiers who have a clear status. Famous warrior Ellen Artorius is also stationed there. The garrison is strictly controlled and unauthorized entry is punished severely. However, a black cat with a kitten in its mouth enters the garrison without being stopped by the guards. The guards are surprised and wonder if the cat was mixed in with the supplies. The cat drops the kitten and disappears. The kitten is found by the guards and they speculate that it was abandoned. "Of course, many people heard the meowing of the cat and started to gather one by one. Except for those who were on duty and left the base empty, everyone gathered at the sound of the familiar small animal. Including Adelia and Christina who were researching within the base, as well as Louis Ancton. And even other students of the Royal Class had to gather. There are not only 2nd year students here, but also existing upperclassmen and lowerclassmen. It's hard to come across animals, especially kittens, in a place like this. 'How did a cat get here?' 'There are places where dogs are raised, so there's no law saying cats can't be here.' 'Didn't a similar-looking big cat run away earlier? Did it abandon the kitten?' 'What can we do? It's too pitiful...' 'How cute is it?' 'Actually, it's not like someone was raising it.' 'It had a mother.' -Meow! Of course, the original plan was to transform into a cat and sneak into the base, listening to stories and investigating with curiosity, but they ended up being forced to become a spectacle because they couldn't figure out the manipulation method. The first discoverer, Kono Lint, grabbed the neck of the meowing kitten. 'Hey, hey! Be careful!' 'No, it's not that...' Kono Lint, who had picked up the small animal, looked at the black kitten and tilted her head. 'It seems like it's hurting somewhere.' -Meow! The black cat, who couldn't even walk properly and was trembling, looked very sick to anyone who saw it. Of course, no one understood that it was shouting 'Put me down, you son of a bitch.' * * * The poor black kitten, abandoned by its mother, was transferred to the restaurant tent. It wasn't shivering because it was cold, and it couldn't walk because it hurt somewhere. It wasn't shivering because it was cold, so covering it with a blanket didn't stop the trembling, and it wasn't because it hurt somewhere that casting a spell would make its arms and legs work properly. 'It seems to be in a lot of pain.' 'Why isn't it getting better?' 'It's so cute...' Naturally, all the students gathered in a corner of the large restaurant tent. The happiness felt from seeing something cute is far from the bleakness and misery of war. That's why all the students gathered to see this pitiful but precious guest who suddenly appeared. They put a plate of milk they got from the restaurant in front of it, thinking it might be hungry, but the kitten just trembled and couldn't even put it in its mouth. 'That's right!' Kono Lint, who was watching the scene, clapped. 'Maybe it's stressed because people are staring too much.' All the seniors and juniors nodded their heads at Kono Lint's words. Stress is everyone's enemy, and it can be a big threat to small animals like this. Although they didn't know it well, they instinctively knew that much. 'Let's leave it alone for now.'" A black kitten appeared in the base and many people gathered around to see it. The kitten seemed sick and unable to walk properly. The students tried to help by covering it with a blanket and offering it milk, but it didn't seem to help. Kono Lint suggested leaving it alone for now. Adelia used healing magic on the kitten and it gradually regained its strength. The students watched as the kitten took its first steps and practiced walking in a small area. 이번 장에서는 검은 새끼 고양이가 등장하여 많은 사람들의 관심을 받았다. 학생들은 고양이를 도와주기 위해 노력했지만 처음에는 실패했다. 하지만 아델리아의 치유 마법으로 고양이는 체력을 회복하고 걷기를 배웠다. 이 장은 동물에 대한 친절과 고양이의 회복 과정을 다루며, 인내와 끈기의 중요성을 강조한다. 이 장은 소설의 액션과 모험 속에서 따뜻한 장면을 제공한다.

If the black kitten was really a kitten, it might have been a problem for many people to handle, but since it wasn't really a kitten or a cat, it didn't matter. Of course, the tired cat in the midst of people's attention was sitting between blankets, watching people walk around like a flock. "Shouldn't we give it a name?" Kono Lint, the first discoverer, brought up such a topic among the students gathered together. As if already decided to raise this cat at the Royal Class headquarters. "Yes, we need a name." Delphin nodded his head in agreement with Kono Lint's words. Kono Lint was not the only one who had already decided to raise this cat, which had only appeared for a day. "How about Black for its name?" "...." "...." "...." "Is it bad...?" In the silence of everyone's gaze, Kono Lint broke out in a cold sweat. "It's too uncreative before it's bad." "Oh, I see..." Scarlet, who rarely speaks harshly, gave up. "I know." Erich de la Paereri opened his mouth, drawing attention to himself. Everyone's attention was focused on what he knew. "You have to give it a bad name to live long. Let's call it Dog Poop." -Meow! "I guess it doesn't like it." "That's right." "Do you understand what we're saying?" "And it's not a dog, so why Dog Poop?" "I heard that's how you live longer....." "It's noisy." "Uh-huh...." Erich's opinion could only be crushed by the indiscriminate ridicule from here and there. "How about Lily?" Christina's somewhat cute naming made everyone start to look at her with a feeling of agreement. -Meow! But the black cat seemed to dislike both Dog Poop and Lily. Of course, it may not have understood the words, but everyone just thought the timing was right. Lily. "Hmm... Lily.... Lily...." Kono Lint started to think with his arms folded. "Wait a minute." Lint approached the cat sitting quietly and lifted one of its hind legs. "It's a male, isn't it?" -Haah! The little black kitten could now even growl. * * * If there are too many sailors, the ship will sink. But if there are too many sailors, the ship can't even sail to the mountain. The Royal Class was now a ship with too many sailors, unable to go anywhere. With numerous candidates for cat names, no name was ultimately decided upon. In the end, one small creature, the Royal Class headquarters, was filled with countless depression and despair. Perhaps it takes more than grand hope to quell despair. Small things. Protecting those small things. Just facing the remaining small things may bring hope. In such a strange excitement, the students felt various emotions. As important missions often occur far from the base, Ellen Artorius returned to the base quite late. Naturally, Ellen, who came to have a late dinner, also heard the rumors about the sudden appearance of a black cat. Everyone vaguely knew that Ellen had been exhausted lately. Therefore, as if receiving comfort rather than comfort from the existence of the small cat, Ellen, who finished the meal with a blank expression, stood in front of the kitten, led by other students. "I guess the mother cat came and left it here today." "Don't we want to raise it?" "How cute is it?" Ellen looked at the small animal in front of her with blurry eyes. A cat. Both people's words and the existence of the small animal in front of her felt distant to Ellen. It felt like everything was getting further away and becoming blurry, as if it would all disappear. When Ellen appeared, the cat lifted its head and looked directly at Ellen, as if trying to confirm something. Ellen cautiously crouched down as if possessed, and brought her hand under the cat's chin. "Oh, it's licking me." Those who were watching quietly watched as the small cat licked Ellen's hand. Ellen felt her blurred mind returning somewhat to the strange sensation of the cat licking her hand constantly. The low and pitiful cry of the cat awakened the sensation from the tip of her skin that was getting further away. Ellen finally saw what was in front of her. A small, jet-black animal. Ellen opened her mouth and said, "A cat..." Everyone was watching that strange communication in silence.
