Trash of the Count’s Family Vol 1

The Dark Tiger sternly shook its head before adding on.

“Aren’t you planning on returning to where we are anyway?”

Cale could see that Alberu’s gaze was focused on him after asking that question.

Cale responded without any hesitation.

“I plan on going back. Of course I will go back.”

He was quite happy to be able to meet people from his past whom he had to let go of once before, but the people of his present where he had not lost anybody yet was precious as well.

Cale truly wanted to create a future with the people of his present.

This world he was going through this test could be a real world and the people he was looking at could really be living breathing people, but…

Kim Rok Soo’s 36 years. The memories he had with these people during that time were not there.

Cale heard Choi Han’s voice as he organized his thoughts once more.

“I’ll be going back as well.”

There was a smile on Choi Han’s face.

There seemed to be a bit of sorrow in his smile.

After being next to Cale’s side here, Choi Han had been thinking about the moment he traveled through dimensions. He had thought about what it would be like to go back to that time.

‘I won’t be able to get used to it.’

Unlike Cale, who could adjust pretty well even after returning to his twenty-year-old self, Choi Han was not confident that he could live a normal life as a high school student.

‘It’s impossible.’

He had not forgotten that his name was Choi Han, but he had forgotten about a lot of other things.

He had also experienced a lot of new things as well.

Many of Choi Han’s emotions had been buried or broken during those times, but they had newly blossomed to arrive at where he was now.

‘I like how it is right now.’

Even though they had not taken care of the White Star yet… Even though a lot of things were uncertain and things could be dangerous for Choi Han and the people he had connected with, Choi Han still liked how it was right now.

That was why he had no desire to go back.

Choi Han recalled a portion of the conversation he had with the God of Death, something he had not told anyone.

‘Let me know if you want to go back to your world.’

‘Really… Just as Cale-nim mentioned…’

“The gods really do whatever the hell they want.”

Choi Han flinched after subconsciously saying that out loud before making eye contact with Alberu and Cale.

“That’s very true.”

“Choi Han, nice choice of words.”

Choi Han chuckled at the two of them who were strongly showing their agreement and nodded his head.

Alberu quietly observed Choi Han and Cale who seemed to be more at ease and kept his mouth shut.

‘…I’ll tell them later.’

Originally, Alberu was planning on telling Cale about how the White Star had smacked him in the back.

However, he kept his mouth shut after seeing the desperate expression on Cale’s face during the battle and hearing that this was Cale’s past from when he was twenty years old.

‘…I’ll do as much as I can do first.’

It was not something that could be resolved even if he mentioned it right now, so he decided not to tell them for the time being.

It was at that moment.

Pat.

Cale put his hand on the Dark Tiger’s furry front paw.

“Now then, hyung-nim.”

“…What is it?”

Alberu felt iffy after seeing that Cale was smiling brightly.

He found the smile to be even more suspicious as he suddenly called him hyung-nim after calling him ‘your highness’ until just a moment ago.

It felt extremely sly after he thought about the fact that Cale was at least 38 years old.

“Hyung-nim, around when are you going to wake up?”

“Why do you want to know?”

“I don’t know how the Dark Tiger would act once you wake up.”

Alberu who had been feeling iffy looked down at his body after hearing a normal and understandable question before he started to speak.

“I’m dominating this body so it should move as you tell it to move if I order it to follow your orders while my mind is not here.”

Then Alberu could chat with Cale again as the Dark Tiger once he fell back asleep.

Smile.

The corners of Cale’s lips started to go up.

“Oh. That’s great.”

“…Right?”

For some reason, Alberu had a bitter taste in his mouth after seeing that smile.

It was at that moment.

“Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii–!”

A sharp screeching noise filled Alberu’s ear. As the Dark Tiger’s eyes looked up at the sky…

“It’s here.”

Cale stood up from his seat.

He could see a shocked Park Jin Tae running toward him.

“Hey, Kim Rok Soo! Isn’t that a Grade 1 monster? Why did another Grade 1 monster appear? I thought you said there were only seven of them!”
