579 – Transparent Beastman

“Hey! You guys…!”

While sharing cotton candy with the kids, Kwon Arin shouted and approached us.

I was startled by the ear-piercing high pitch.

“What, what’s wrong…?”

“……”

Kwon Arin, who had called us, froze in place.

She seemed lost in thought.

“…I want to eat cotton candy too.”

“Then, would you like to share with us…?”

“Yeah…”

Saebyeok handed Kwon Arin a cotton candy, taking my place as I was making them.

Kwon Arin put the cotton candy in her mouth and exaggeratedly shrugged her shoulders.

“Wow, it’s cotton candy after all.”

Kwon Arin closed her eyes and savored the cotton candy.

Just by looking at her expression, I could tell how much Kwon Arin liked cotton candy.

“Should I make you more cotton candy?”

“Ah, no, the things you like taste better when you eat them occasionally.”

“Aha.”

Eating things occasionally is one way to enjoy food.

As I nodded in agreement, Levinas’s eyes lit up.

“It tastes better when you eat it occasionally?!”

“Well, wouldn’t it taste better because there’s a time of waiting?”

“Gasp! Then, is Levinas going to try to hold back from eating carrots too?!”

Levinas held out his carrot bag.

Levinas refraining from carrots was something I couldn’t even imagine.

“Levinas, how long are you going to hold back on carrots?”

At my question, Levinas held up seven fingers.

Not four, not five, but seven.

It was a very long time that could only be endured with tremendous patience.

“Levinas, are you going to hold back for a week?”

“No! Seven hours!”

“Wow.”

Seven hours is still amazing.

As I secretly wished for Levinas’s patience to prevail, Kwon Arin held out a controller to us.

“Here, I fixed it.”

“Wow, it looks brand new.”

“Yeah. It is brand new, actually.”

“Huh?”

There was no need to buy a new one.

I couldn’t even take the controller and just stared up at Kwon Arin.

“It’s a thank you for the cotton candy. If you still feel it’s not enough, play games with me later.”

“Yes, let’s play games together.”

I would also welcome playing games with Kwon Arin.

We received the controller, promising to play games together later.

“Kids, we’ve all finished the cotton candy, shall we clean up?”

“Yeah!”

“Okay!”

**

After returning home, I cleaned up the cotton candy machine and decided to take a break.

The kids were watching television as usual, but Bomi was lying alone in the bedroom.

“Hehe.”

Bomi was laughing alone in the bedroom.

To be exact, she was laughing while looking at her smartphone.

Was she watching something funny?

Curious, I moved to the bedroom where Bomi was.

“Bomi, what are you doing?”

“I was watching pranks. Do you want to watch together?”

Bomi handed me her smartphone.

The smartphone contained pranks played on various people.

“This is the funniest one here?”

What Bomi showed me was an invisible person prank.

Even though they hadn’t become invisible, they acted as if the other person had become invisible.

Normally, they wouldn’t be fooled, but the target of the prank was a young child.

The innocent child believed that they had really become invisible.

“Hehe.”

Fun.

I thought Bomi’s prank skills had improved recently, so she learned by watching these.

As I was laughing while watching the video, Bomi made a suggestion.

“Shall we do an invisible person prank too?”

“This? On who?”

“Hmm… Haneul…?”

“Haneul is mature, so this kind of prank won’t work on her.”

Sometimes, she feels more like an elder than an adult.

Bomi nodded slowly, as if she had the same thought as me.

“Then, maybe Gaeul or Levinas?”

Hmm.

Bomi, who was pondering with her arms crossed, picked up a blanket and went to the living room.

Then, she confidently shouted towards the children watching television.

“Who wants to become an Invisible Beast!”

“Invisible Beast?”

“Yeah. I developed an Invisible Beast magic.”

“Gasp! Levinas! Levinas wants to become an Invisible Horned Rabbit!”

Levinas raised his hand enthusiastically.

He was so excited that he even jumped to the ceiling.

“Okay, I’ll turn Levinas into an Invisible Horned Rabbit.”

“……!”

Bomi covered Levinas’s head with the blanket.

She also chanted a spell that she seemed to have just come up with, while emitting Black Mana.

“Become invisible, invisible!”

Whoosh-!

She removed the blanket after finishing the spell.

I wondered if Levinas would really become invisible with his unique magic, but what appeared from behind the blanket was Levinas with an expectant expression.

“Tada.”

Even though Levinas hadn’t become invisible, Bomi pretended to be invisible naturally.

I decided to side with Bomi for now.

“Wow, Levinas became invisible.”

Clap clap clap-

I clapped and observed the children’s reactions.

The first to react to the unannounced prank was Saebyeok.

“Levinas disappeared.”

Saebyeok, who is quick-witted, matched our prank.

“Uh…”

“Huh?”

Haneul, who realized it was a prank, looked around, and Gaeul, who didn’t know it was a prank, just tilted her head.

It was strange because she was told he was invisible, but she could see him.

“Can’t you see Levinas right now?!”

Levinas looked very excited.

Of course, I pretended not to see him.

“Levinas, are you here?”

“Yes! Levinas is here!”

“What, Levinas isn’t talking? Did I blow Levinas away with magic? What should I do?”

“What.”

Levinas’s Horned Rabbit eyes widened at Bomi’s acting.

He seemed to think the situation had become serious.

“Can’t anyone hear Levinas’s voice!”

At Levinas’s shout, Gaeul tilted her head even faster.

She seemed bewildered and didn’t talk to Levinas directly.

“Oh no! Levinas has become a completely invincible Invisible Beast…!”

Gasp.

Levinas, who had his mouth open, then gave a wicked smile.

Then, he picked up a Horned Rabbit doll that was nearby.

“Ooooh~ It’s a Horned Rabbit ghost~”

He walked around us holding the Horned Rabbit doll.

He seemed to be trying to imitate a ghost, shaking the Horned Rabbit doll’s hand up and down.

Seeing this, Bomi pretended to be surprised and raised both hands.

“Eek! The Horned Rabbit doll is moving on its own!”

“Levinas must be here.”

I said while watching Levinas.

Levinas was shaking the Horned Rabbit doll in front of Gaeul.

“Ooooh~ It’s a doll ghost~”

“……”

Gaeul seemed to have a hard time understanding the situation and made a blank expression.

Then, she eventually collapsed in place.

She seemed to have given up on thinking because she didn’t know what was going on.

“Gasp.”

Did he think Gaeul fainted because she was scared?

Levinas, who was holding the Horned Rabbit doll, froze in place.

“Gaeul, puppy! Are you okay!”

“Heck…”

Gaeul stuck out her tongue as a sign of affirmation, but Levinas, who was flustered, didn’t seem to see it.

Levinas, who was making sobbing noises, ran towards the toy box.

What Levinas took out of the toy box were letter blocks.

-Not a ghost

-Invisible Levinas

-Sorry

Levinas apologized with letter blocks.

Seeing this, Gaeul wagged her tail and replied with letter blocks.

-Its ok

-Head pat

Apologies using letters were exchanged, and Bomi, who was watching, lifted the blanket.

She seemed to be trying to end the fun prank before it became a scary one.

“Levinas, let’s go back to normal now. You’re here, right?”

“Yeah!”

Levinas ran over and sat on the sofa.

Then, Bomi covered Levinas’s head with the blanket.

“Return from invisible, invisible!”

When she removed the blanket with magic, Levinas appeared in a “ta-da” pose.

We applauded Levinas, who had returned to normal.

Actually, he wasn’t invisible from the beginning.

“Can you see Levinas now?”

“Yes. I can see him very well.”

“Hehe.”

Was the invisible experience enjoyable?

Levinas gave us a happy smile and hugged us.

He also hugged Bomi, but Bomi was still holding the blanket.

“Shall we try Gaeul next?”

“Gaeulik?”

“Yeah. Gaeul is also becoming an Invisible Beast.”

“Huh?”

Perhaps because she saw Levinas not becoming invisible, Gaeul was just bewildered.

Bomi covered Gaeul’s head with the blanket.

“Become invisible, invisible!”

What appeared from behind the blanket after the spell was Gaeul with her tongue sticking out.

We watched Gaeul and acted again.

“Wow, Gaeul disappeared.”

“I can’t see Gaeul.”

The most surprised by our pretending not to see was not Gaeul, but Levinas.

He widened his eyes at Gaeul, who was clearly visible, and then collapsed in place, realizing that he had been tricked.

“Levinas, are you okay?”

“Yeah!”

Hehe.

Levinas put his hand on his lips and laughed.

Then, he got up and looked around.

“Where did Gaeul, puppy, go?”

“Here.”

“I can’t see her!”

“Huh?”

Gaeul, who had been standing still for a while, looked down at her clothes.

Did she think the invisible effect would be lifted if she took off her clothes?

As she was about to take off her clothes, Bomi and I hurriedly talked.

“Bomi, would the invisible effect be lifted if she took off her clothes?”

“No, it’s not that kind of magic. Even if it is lifted, good children don’t take off their clothes anywhere.”

“That’s right.”

Gaeul stopped taking off her clothes at our conversation.

Then, she stood in place and started thinking for a long time.

Maa

Maa-

Gaeul, who had a blank expression, rummaged through her bag.

What she took out of her bag was an emerald gem that activates the brain.

Lick-

Gaeul, who licked the gem, perked up her ears and ran towards the letter blocks.

Perhaps because her brain was activated, she wrote the letters clearly without hesitation.

-Help me

What Gaeul made with the blocks was a distress signal.

Thank you for the comments and recommendations too! It’s always a source of strength!

I wanted to write a scene where Levinas and Gaeul, who became invisible, were terrified, but I held back because it would be like bullying them…!
