566 – Scary Story

566 – Scary Story

“Wanga, say ‘ah,’ ah~”

“Ah ah.”

Levinas put a chocolate in my mouth, even though I couldn’t see.

I could have eaten it myself, but I was happy that he was doing this for me, so I just accepted it.

“Wanga! How’s the chocolate Levinas gave you?!”

“It’s super delicious, probably because Levinas gave it to me.”

“Hehe!”

Levinas, for some reason, was so happy, he hugged me tightly and giggled.

Even though I couldn’t see, I could tell that Haneul was watching us intently.

“Master…! Haneul will feed you this too…!”

I heard rustling sounds from Haneul’s hand.

It sounded like a small plastic bag being unwrapped.

“Haneul, what’s that?”

“It’s red ginseng candy…! Haneul really likes this candy…!”

“What.”

Isn’t red ginseng candy a bit strong for kids?

It was strange that the still young Haneul liked red ginseng candy.

“Haneul, where did you get the red ginseng candy?”

“Sophia gave it to me.”

“Ah.”

Sophia must have given Haneul the red ginseng candy.

Maybe it became a favorite after eating it a few times.

“Thanks, I’ll enjoy it.”

“Hehe…”

Haneul peeled the red ginseng candy and put it in my mouth.

It wasn’t really my taste, but I was happy that Haneul was feeding me something he liked.

Munch munch.

It’s so nice that the kids take care of me like this.

While eating the candy, I spoke to Saebyeok, who was fiddling with my hair.

“Saebyeok, what are you doing?”

“Brushing.”

“I see.”

I appreciate the brushing, but isn’t this more like grooming?

Do cats usually include grooming as part of brushing?

I didn’t know for sure, so I couldn’t say anything.

I just enjoyed Saebyeok’s pleasant grooming.

“Wanga, say ‘ah’~”

“Okay.”

I continued to accept the snacks that Levinas and Haneul were giving me.

One finger entered my mouth, which was open wide saying “ah.”

“Gaeul, you shouldn’t put your finger in Gyeoul’s mouth. She can’t see, so if she bites it, it’ll be a big problem, okay?”

“Eek?!”

Bomi giggled, and Gaeul looked flustered.

Just from that, I could tell that the finger in my mouth was Bomi’s.

“Gaeul is such a prankster.”

“Nuh uh!”

Gaeul expressed her injustice.

She wanted to say no, but our Gaeul didn’t know how to say it.

Awooo…

Gaeul, expressing her injustice with a small siren, tapped Bomi’s shoulder.

I knew it was a joke, but I decided to resolve Gaeul’s injustice here.

“This tastes like Bomi’s finger, not Gaeul’s?”

“What?! Do I have a distinct taste?!”

“Yeah. Bomi tastes like dragon.”

“Whoa!”

Whoa, really?

Where did she learn to say that?

Maybe it’s because I can’t see, but I noticed new aspects of the kids today.

“Wanga! Wanga! Then what does Levinas taste like?!”

“Levinas tastes like very, very delicious carrot?”

“Gasp! Then what does Haneul taste like?!”

“Haneul tastes like… a not-so-spicy spicy flavor?”

He didn’t actually taste spicy, but Haneul is a very, very fierce tiger.

I thought it would be good to compare him to a spicy flavor.

“Master…! Is Haneul very spicy…?!”

“No, not very spicy.”

“Is that so…?!”

Haneul’s voice was raised quite a bit.

I didn’t know why.

“Haneul, do you not like spicy flavors?”

“No…! I like them…!”

Is that why he was like that?

A moderately spicy flavor is good.

I smiled and stroked Haneul’s head, and Hanyeoreum, who was looking at her smartphone, exclaimed, “Oh!”

“Gyeoul, they said Jeong Yuna arrived at the guild?”

“Really?”

“Yeah. Gyeoul can’t see right now, so should I take you there?”

“Yes.”

Hanyeoreum hugged me tightly.

Actually, I could have walked there and back by myself even if I couldn’t see, but I liked hugging, so I decided to go with her.

**

My eyes, which had been afflicted by Jeong Yuna’s curse, opened again thanks to her purification magic.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Jeong Yuna’s face, and my tail wagged.

“Okay, now that I’ve healed you, you have to pay the treatment fee, right? The treatment fee is very expensive, so Gyeoul is in big trouble, huh?”

“H-How much is the treatment fee…?”

Is the curse removal fee expensive?

I looked up at Jeong Yuna with surprised eyes.

Then, Jeong Yuna gave me a kind smile that made me feel good.

“The treatment fee is Gyeoul’s deep hug. Please pay it quickly.”

“Ah…!”

I quickly gave Jeong Yuna a deep hug.

I hugged her tightly and rubbed my cheek against hers.

It was a payment of the treatment fee that made me feel even better.

“Thank you. Do you want to come home and play with me?”

“Hmm… I really want to, but what should I do, I’m busy?”

“Then let’s definitely play together later. Promise?”

“Yeah, promise.”

I hooked fingers with Jeong Yuna, made a light promise, and returned home.

I had only been away from home for a short time, but for some reason, the kids had tense faces.

“Hey, what are you guys doing?”

“We’re telling scary stories.”

Saebyeok, the only one who wasn’t tense, tapped the seat next to her.

As I sat next to her, Levinas made a scary face and continued the story.

“This happened when Levinas was harvesting carrots…!”

“……!”

Just the beginning of the story made Gaeul gasp in surprise, and Haneul hugged Bomi next to him tightly.

“Levinas was trying to pull out a carrot, but the carrot wouldn’t come out! It was like someone was pulling it from underground!”

“Scawy!”

“Still, Levinas did his best to pull out the carrot, and guess what…!”

Levinas paused for a moment and looked around at us.

Levinas knew how to build tension in a story.

“Whut…?!”

Gaeul grabbed Levinas’s clothes and shook them, wanting to hear the next part of the story.

Then, Levinas continued the story in a rather low voice.

“Guess what, the carrot looked like a human face?! It’s clear that a human soul is dwelling in this carrot!”

“Gasp!”

“Ah…!”

Levinas’s carrot story was quite scary, and the kids shivered.

On the other hand, Bomi’s eyes were shining, as if she found the carrot story interesting.

“So?! What did you do with the carrot that had a human face?!”

“Levinas ate it!”

“Huh?”

He ate it?

Well, even if it was the scariest carrot in the world, it couldn’t escape our carrot predator, Levinas.

“Levinas, was the carrot delicious?”

“Yeah! Very, very delicious.”

Nom.

Levinas smacked his lips.

He smiled brightly, as if recalling the taste of the carrot, and pointed to Gaeul, who was sitting across from him.

“Next is Gaeul’s turn!”

“Gaeulik?”

“Yeah! Gaeul, don’t you have a scary story?!”

“Umm…”

Gaeul shook her head from side to side, thinking, and her ears and tail perked up.

She must have thought of a scary story, as she made a fearsome expression.

“Gaeulik ghost!”

Gaeul’s voice was low.

This time, Levinas looked tense.

“Ghost sleeping sofa!”

Gaeul pointed to the sofa and pretended to sleep.

It seemed like she meant she was sleeping on the sofa, snoring.

“Gaeul is snoring?!”

“Gaeulik no! No!”

Gaeul brought her fists together near her chest and shook her body from side to side.

She was expressing a state of wanting to move but not being able to.

Could it be that Gaeul had sleep paralysis?

Sleep paralysis is really scary.

Recalling the scary situation Gaeul had experienced, I swallowed hard.

“Gaeul, when you woke up, your body wouldn’t move?”

“Hek…!”

“Ugh… so what happened…?”

“Gaeulik eyes like this!”

Gaeul opened her eyes wide.

Then, she made a surprised expression.

“Could it be that there was something in front of your eyes…?”

“Ghost! There was a ghost?!”

Haneul and Levinas were terrified, and Bomi clasped her hands together, exclaiming, “Wow!”

And Saebyeok was just indifferent.

Gaeul looked around at those kids and pointed at me with her finger.

“Master!”

“Me?”

“Hek…!”

“Was I hugging Gaeul tightly?”

“Yes. Master Gaeulik hug.”

Gaeul hugged me tightly.

It seemed like I was hugging Gaeul tightly while sleeping, so Gaeul couldn’t move.

“I was hugging Gaeul tightly, so you couldn’t move?”

“Yes!”

“You must have been really scared because your body wouldn’t move while you were sleeping.”

“No! Best!”

“…You liked it?”

Because Gaeul likes hugs.

From Gaeul’s tail wagging in real time, I could infer how happy Gaeul must have been at the time.

“Bomi!”

Gaeul, who had been wagging her tail, pointed to Bomi next to her.

It seemed like it was Bomi’s turn for a scary story this time.

“I used to live alone a long time ago, and I once slept in an abandoned house?”

“Abandoned house…!”

An abandoned house.

Is this a full-fledged scary story?

The tail that had been wagging from side to side stopped abruptly.

“I was sleeping there at night, and a terrifying painting kept staring at me?”

“Gasp…! So what happened…?!”

“I just ignored it and slept.”

“Huh?”

She just ignored it and slept.

Is this the end of the story?

The moment I scratched my cheek, Bomi took advantage of the timing and suddenly leaned her face forward.

“But when I woke up and looked, it wasn’t a painting, it was a window.”

“What…!”

“Eh.”

“……!”

The kids froze in their seats at the twist at the end of the story.

The painting that was staring was a window.

I got goosebumps all over my body.

“Who could have been the person staring at me in the middle of the night?”

“Eeeek!”

“Nyaaah!”

“……!”

The surprised Levinas grabbed my tail.

I was also surprised by the sudden touch and jumped up, and Gaeul and Haneul’s eyes widened as if they were about to pop out.

Only Saebyeok was expressionless.

“Scary.”

Saebyeok muttered as if it was nothing.
