Trash of the Count's Family

“Sounds good, human!”

Raon shouted back in excitement after hearing Cale saying they were going to smack the White Star from behind.

“Human, let’s smack the shit out of it!”

Cale stopped for a moment.

‘Is it okay for a six-year-old's vocabulary to be like this?’

“Our youngest is right! We need to hurry back!”

“Everybody is waiting for us!”

However, Cale could not think about it any longer after hearing On and Hong’s comments.

As the children averaging nine-years-old mentioned, they needed to quickly return to the people waiting for them.

“Follow me.”

Cale took the lead.

Choi Han stuck right next to him. Cale looked at Choi Han’s expression that had returned to normal before putting a hand on Choi Han’s shoulder.

“Let’s quickly take care of things and come back to read the book.”

“Yes, Cale-nim.”

Choi Han had a pure smile on his face.

However, Cale could see the desire in Choi Han’s eyes to read the book.

Cale planned on letting Choi Han read the book.

There were things in there that Choi Han should know.

Of course, he had considered damaging the book a bit so that Choi Han would not be able to read certain parts.

However, Cale had changed his mind.

‘…He is older than I am.’

No matter what, Choi Han had lived for a longer time than Cale.

Even though he had some innocence and awkwardness when living in society due to most of his life being spent alone in the Forest of Darkness, he was someone who managed to survive the dangerous Forest of Darkness on his own.

Cale didn't know anything about Choi Jung Gun. However, Cale had a very good idea about Choi Han after spending so much time together with him in this world.

“…Cale-nim, is there something you need to tell me?”

Choi Han asked with a confused expression after seeing Cale staring at him. Cale then moved his hand from Choi Han’s shoulder and patted him on the back.

“I trust you.”

That was all Cale said before walking in front of Choi Han.

“…Excuse me?”

Cale responded with a stoic expression once Choi Han managed to ask that question after a few seconds of confusion.

“It’s you.”

“…Me?”

Cale pointed to Choi Han.

“You will be the one to attack the White Star today.”

Choi Han’s expression turned even odder. However, he did not question Cale's statement. He just touched the hilt of his sword.

There was a different voice that urgently shouted at that moment.

“What about me?!”

It was Raon.

“Human, why are you leaving the great and mighty Raon Miru out?”

“Meeeeeow!”

The children averaging nine-years-old looked at Cale as if they were disappointed. They seemed to be asking how he could only let Choi Han fight and leave the rest of them out.

The children averaging nine-years-old could then see the hand that was pointing at Choi Han moving toward them.

“You too.”

Cale was still speaking nonchalantly.

“You and you as well.”

Cale pointed at the three children before continuing to speak.

“The three of you will support Choi Han. However, you cannot fight.”

The children’s expressions finally brightened.

Although Cale was not letting them fight in the front lines, they were smiling at the fact that Cale said that they could at least support from behind.

Poke.

Cale turned his head after feeling someone poking his arm. Bud was poking Cale's arm with his elbow.

He then asked with an excited expression on his face.

“What about me?”

Cale happily answered Bud's question.

“Not you. I don't want you fighting or supporting them.”

Bud flinched before he started to frown.

"Why not? Let me fight too! I'm quite skilled as well! You’re treating me like cold soup! Did you forget that I am the Mercenary King?!”

Bud could not believe it.

He might not be stronger than Raon because Raon was a Dragon, however, he was much stronger than the two Cats.

Even without the special abilities of his wind attribute ancient power, he was a sword master and someone who managed to rise to the rank of Mercenary King.

But such a person had never been able to fight properly since accompanying Cale’s group. He was being treated like baggage.

“I am not someone who would be treated like baggage like this no matter where I go.”

“I'm the baggage.”

“…Huh?”

Bud stopped talking in confusion after hearing Cale's response.
