Chapter 110: Let’s Learn Common Sense(3)

The test was simple.

It only had truly basic stuff, so much so that anyone could solve it easily.

2. What to do when you find an injured person?

‘He’s underestimating tigers.’

If someone is hurt, it’s good to lick their wound.

Earlier, when she bit my tail with her fangs, it hurt a lot, but after licking it a few times, it got better.

I quickly wrote down the answer and held it out to Jinhyang.

“Boss, look at mine.”

Jinhyang took the answer sheet I handed over.

It was a short answer, ‘Lick it,’ so she couldn’t help but read it quickly.

“Lick it?”

“Yes. If I lick it, all the pain will go away.”

It wasn’t fully confirmed, but when I licked, the wounds seemed to heal faster.

“It’s not like it’s healing magic, how would that work?”

“It works for me…?”

“……”

Jinhyang stood still for a long time, then sighed deeply.

This was already the third time she had sighed during this test.

‘Tch.’

It’s true, though.

Why doesn’t she believe me?

Frustrated, I just gnawed on my tail.

Of course, I wasn’t really biting it, just pretending to.

If I bit my tail hard like before, I didn’t know where my body might fly off to.

“Boss, do you have any owies?”

I asked Jinhyang with my tail in my mouth.

It was hard to speak properly with my mouth full of tail.

“Not right now.”

“Aww, too bad. I was gonna lick it for you.”

If she had a hurt spot, I was going to lick it and prove my ability.

Truly disappointed, I put my tail in my mouth and lay down on the desk.

It was then that Raxy Bora spoke up.

“Ha, Harang. I’m hurt here.”

“Huh? Really?”

“Yeah. Look here.”

Happy, I lifted my head, and Raxy Bora’s hand was in front of me.

Where could the wound be? I turned her hand this way and that, but I couldn’t see any wound anywhere.

“There’s no wound?”

“Ah, no. It’s here if you look closely.”

Raxy Bora pointed to the back of her hand.

But there was no wound to be seen anywhere.

It seemed like it wasn’t an external wound, but an internal one.

“Raxy, wait. I’ll make it better.”

“Okay.”

Lick lick.

I grabbed Raxy Bora’s hand and licked it all over.

Her hand was shiny with my saliva, which was proof that the wound was being healed.

“How is it now?”

“Yeah. It’s much better.”

Raxy Bora looked at the back of her hand and smiled.

She was so happy that she rubbed her shiny hand against her cheek.

“Did you see that, Boss?”

I had proven my healing ability, so I could be even more confident.

I looked up at Jinhyang with a beaming smile, but for some reason, she was only looking at Raxy Bora.

“Raxy.”

“……”

A strange current was flowing between the two of them.

No, when you think about it, Jinhyang was just staring at Raxy Bora one-sidedly.

If I jumped in here without knowing what was going on, the sparks might fly my way.

“I, I’m going to sleep. I’m so sleepy.”

I got up carefully so that the chair wouldn’t make a sound.

But Jinhyang pressed down on my shoulder, so I had no choice but to sit back down in the chair.

“Wait.”

“Wh-why…?”

“You have to finish all the questions before you go.”

“B-but I’m sleepy.”

I looked up at Jinhyang, pretending to be sleepy, with my eyes half-closed.

I even nodded off like someone who was about to fall asleep.

“Then, will you just solve two more and then sleep?”

“Really only two?”

“Yeah. Only two.”

“Okay.”

I have to solve them quickly and go to sleep.

It was true that I was sleepy.

**

After Harang went to sleep, Jinhyang was left alone in the living room, looking at Harang’s answer sheet.

3. What to do when you meet someone who looks dangerous while walking down the street?

The answer Jinhyang wanted was simple.

Run away, or call someone who can help.

But the answer Harang showed was neither of those.

-Fight. Nothing is scawy to me.

‘Nothing is scary…?’

That couldn’t be.

Harang was so timid that it seemed like she was afraid of everything.

‘Is she bluffing?’

A bluff is when you brag even though you know you’re going to lose.

What Harang was showing was confidence that she could really do it.

This was the confidence of a child who didn’t know the ways of the world yet.

‘Will she learn after experiencing a few failures?’

Harang was still young, so she had little experience and was immature.

She was at an age where she believed without a doubt that she could do anything.

What Harang needed now was failure and defeat, and enough time to learn from them.

In other words, it was something that would be solved naturally with time.

‘I can skip this one.’

Jinhyang lowered her gaze and looked at the fourth question.

It was the only question that was only on Harang’s test.

It was too trivial to ask Delphine or the twin sisters.

4. Is it okay to follow a stranger if they offer you Churu?

‘Was this too childish?’

It was such a simple question that Jinhyang felt sorry for Harang while making it.

Jinhyang scratched her cheek awkwardly and checked Harang’s answer.

-Chuwu good. Yummy.

“……”

I have to scold her for this.

First thing tomorrow morning when she opens her eyes.

Jinhyang sighed one last time and put Harang’s answer sheet between the files.

**

“Ughhhh!”

I woke up in the morning and stretched out on the bed.

My tail and butt went straight up, which felt good and refreshing.

Stretching is my favorite thing to do in the morning.

“Hehe.”

I was planning to eat Churu from the morning.

Because of the last question Jinhyang showed me last night, Churu wouldn’t leave my head.

I’m going to eat three Churus in the morning.

With that great determination, I opened the door.

“Huh?”

There was some strange creature standing in front of my door.

It was a lion.

To be exact, a person wearing a lion costume.

As soon as I saw the lion, I couldn’t help but bare my teeth.

A lion was the greatest rival of a tiger.

“Grrrr.”

I sat down on all fours and took a threatening stance.

I bared my teeth, tensed my legs, and stayed alert so I could pounce at any moment.

“Who are you?”

The guy was imitating a lion, but I was a real tiger.

My innate ferocity was definitely more overwhelming.

“Roar!”

I roared and threatened him.

He’ll be scared and back down with this much, right?

I was smiling in victory when…

“Roar.”

The guy hiding in the costume roared at me.

He raised his hand, which was a clear sign of attack.

“Eek!”

Startled, I ran on all fours and crawled under the dresser.

As I hid in the shadows and crouched down, the guy started coming towards me.

“Please go away…”

Tremble tremble-

My body was shaking.

He was wearing a lion costume, but what was inside was a true beast.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to scare a tiger like me.

“S-stop it. I’m scared.”

Tears streamed down my cheeks.

Was I going to lose to a lion like this?

I was falling into despair when…

“Roar.”

The guy reached out and offered something.

When I looked closely, it was Churu.

“Churu?”

Nod nod.

The lion’s head shook up and down.

Around that point, I was able to discover something strange.

His scent and the voice he made when he roared were similar to someone I knew.

“Raxy?”

At my question, the lion stopped in place.

Shake shake shake shake, he shook his head left and right several times.

‘It’s definitely Raxy, though?’

Because it was a baggy costume, it was hard to check her figure.

It seemed like I had to touch her directly to confirm.

I crawled out from under the dresser and stood in front of the lion.

I reached out and rubbed the lion costume here and there.

Her belly and chest, her shoulders and thighs.

‘It’s Raxy.’

The lion’s identity was definitely Raxy Bora.

It matched my figure exactly.

“Raxy, why are you pretending to be a lion? You scared me.”

“W-was I caught…?”

“Yeah.”

At my answer, Raxy Bora took off the costume head.

Raxy Bora’s face, which I could finally see, was soaked with sweat.

“Raxy, so why were you pretending to be a lion?”

Hmph hmph.

I made an angry face, but tears were leaking out.

I pulled my lips down as much as possible and made a stern face to try to hold back the tears.

“W-well…”

“Well?”

Raxy Bora was just moving her lips and hesitating, so it was clear that she was trying to hide something.

Something she didn’t want to tell me.

‘Could it be…!’

The lion costume that Raxy Bora was wearing.

It wasn’t as good as mine, but she made a pretty decent roar.

Combining these two things, I could guess that Raxy Bora admired my wildness and was imitating me.

“Raxy, was I that cool?”

“H-huh?”

“Aren’t you imitating me because I’m so cool?”

“A-ah, yeah! Th-that’s it! That’s it!”

I knew it.

“Hahaha!”

“Heh, hehe…”

As my confidence grew, I laughed heartily.

Raxy Bora carefully laughed as if she was following my laughter.

“Raxy, should I teach you?”

“Wh-what…?”

“How to become a true tiger.”

I was the best in this field after Silver.

If Raxy Bora learned from me, she could become a true beast.

“But, you’re not a tiger, you’re a lion?”

“It’s okay, they’re similar.”

They were in the same cat family and were both beasts.

They were similar to each other, so it wasn’t like I couldn’t teach her.

“B-but I have to go live soon?”

“Huh? There’s still plenty of time left, right?”

“……About two hours?”

That’s enough.

I grabbed Raxy Bora’s hand and pulled her.

The living room, which was wider than my room, would be better for practicing being a tiger.
