A dark night.

In a room where only a small candle burns quietly, everyone in the mansion holds their breath and waits for something.

Their gaze was directed to a small cradle, where a baby gumiho, softer than a rice cake, was located.

With the presence of evil spirits, celestial beings, and even a notorious shaman, it seemed to anyone that they were plotting something evil, but in reality, they were just watching an interesting spectacle that made their palms sweat.

“Ouch!”

The baby gumiho begins to whimper and turn to the side.

He twists his body with a truly desperate expression, as if something big is going to happen if he doesn’t turn over now.

Gulp.

How tense must a moment be for you to hear someone swallowing?

Everyone in the mansion has forgotten to breathe… No, they are beings who can live without breathing anyway.

Anyway, I was anxious as I watched the reversal that was almost successful.

however.

dump!

“Aww…”

Unfortunately, the baby gumiho failed to turn over.

As if he felt regretful even thinking about it, tears welled up in his soft, steamed bun-like face, and those watching sighed in pity.

[Almost done… Almost done…!]

[Eww!!! Oh my gosh!!!!! How could I fail there!!!!!]

[Our young lady, look at those tears! She must have been really sad…]

The maids, who were not at all like demons, were stamping their feet in place and wailing as if they had failed.

“It seems like it’s going to be a success, but it’s really a shame.”

“Yeah, but I think it’ll work next time?”

The baby gumiho’s parents applauded him despite his failure.

“Oh my, I can’t even turn over with nine tails at once. This is just sloppy.”

The fox god made fun of the baby gumiho with a face that anyone could see was disgusting, which only made her even more angry.

“Pfft!”

Jin-ha puffs out his cheeks in anger, as if he is very angry at the fox god’s thoughtless mockery.

The fox god, who was looking at Jin-ha like that, poked his plump cheek to knock the air out of it, and then laughed evilly like a demon king who had defeated a warrior.

“Puhhh…”

“Wow…?”

Jin-ha looked at the fox god with a bewildered expression that seemed to imply, ‘What the heck?’ and then the corners of his lips rose as if a good idea had occurred to him.

“Eee …

I started crying so hard that I had to leave the room.

A tremendous cry filled with feelings of injustice and resentment, telling anyone who heard it that the fox god was at fault.

When the maids and the couple looked at her with cold eyes, the fox goddess distanced herself from the cradle and acted as if nothing happened.

“I did nothing wrong. Didn’t your mother say that last time? Babies can cry for no reason.”

“It doesn’t look like it to me? Look at Jin-ha’s hand. It’s pointing at you and crying. ”

“What…?”

The fox god, who had become a public enemy in an instant, looked at Jin-ha with a bewildered expression, and only then was she able to see Jin-ha smiling bitterly at her with tearful eyes.

“…Ugh, it’s not easy. I thought of you as a baby and let you off easy, but you’re going to get screwed like this.”

Is it because she was born with nine tails, or is it because she was born between an apostle and a crazy pervert?

Thinking that it was too sinister and wicked to be called an ordinary baby, the fox god took out a white flag from the subspace and waved it gently.

“This time, just back off, but next time won’t be easy. You’d better be prepared.”

“Ouch!”

Jin-ha answered the fox god who whispered with a face that said, ‘Come at me as much as you want, Aesong-i!’ The fox god snickered as if it was no big deal and left the room without saying a word.

The room became quiet as the fox god left.

As it was getting close to bedtime and everyone started leaving the room one by one, Jin-ha started writhing again with a powerful cry as if it was the last time.

This time I’m definitely going to turn it around!

I’ll definitely turn it over and give it to mom and dad!!!

“Wow!”

I mustered up my resolve and turned around, using all the know-how I had gained from my failures.

A brilliant mind, incredible concentration that you wouldn’t believe is from a baby.

Using them solely to flip her body over, the cute baby gumiho managed to flip her body almost halfway over.

Another Wailing Wall reached, but Jin-ha found a way to achieve success based on the experience he gained from several failures.

Bam.

After 15 hours of trial and error, he finally succeeded in doing his first rollover by securing the propulsion to flip over with one of his fluffy tails!

“Wow!”

Jin-ha let out a powerful, beast-like roar with a sense of accomplishment, and everyone watching applauded and sincerely congratulated Jin-ha on his success.

[You did a great job, Miss!]

[Amazing…! You’ve already succeeded in turning it over!!!]

[You are an extraordinary person! Our young lady is definitely a genius!]

[Hehehe… Look at that smiling face… Look, I want to suck on that cheek…]

…Of course, there wasn’t only pure congratulations, but in any case, Cheonho and Nachal also gave Jinha the round of balls he had longed for after taking her out of the cradle.

“My daughter is amazing. She’s already rolling over.”

“Should we make this our anniversary? It’s the first successful flip…”

“That’s too much. Once you start making it like that, there’s no end to it.”

“Still, it’s a bit disappointing…”

Although he expressed regret, Nachal did not forget his father’s teaching that ‘losing is winning.’

“If that’s you, then there’s nothing we can do. Instead, let’s definitely congratulate you today.”

“Yeah, that’s about it…”

side.

I started to comfort my wife with short bird kisses and play with Jin-ha, who was softer than rice cake.

“Aww – !”

Spending some time howling filled with happiness.

“Ugh…”

Jin-ha, who had exerted all his strength to just roll over all day, was unable to overcome the wicked enemy called sleep, and eventually fell into a deep sleep, completely exhausted and helpless.

And just before being dragged into a soft dreamland, Jin-ha heard something.

“This time, you’ll definitely sleep, right?”

“Shhh – I can wake up just from that little sound.”

I could hear my mom and dad whispering secretly to each other.

—–

A peaceful day like any other.

I was playing with Jin-ha, shaking the rattle, when a thought suddenly occurred to me and I spoke to my husband.

“Honey.”

“Huh?”

“What will our Jin-ha choose for his first birthday party?”

It’s something that any parent with children can’t help but be curious about.

When I asked her what to choose for the first birthday party, my husband stroked his chin as if he was thinking about it, then slowly opened his mouth.

“Well? Jin-ha resembles you more than me… so I think he’ll probably pick something similar to what you picked.”

“What did I pick? Hmm, what did you say I picked?”

I remember asking, but it’s been so long since I heard the answer from my mom that I don’t remember.

Judging from the fact that he changed his job to a commissioned artist, I think he must have been holding something like a brush…

“I’ll ask Mom. You shake the rattle for me.”

“Okay. I guess I should do some [peekaboo] after a long time.”

“Please don’t do that, it’s not good for the child.”

“No, I’m sure everyone liked it on YouTube because Dad did [Peekaboo], right?”

“That YouTuber’s face is the same as yours? If you were to peek-a-boo and laugh sinisterly, not only children but also adults would be shocked on the spot, right?”

Especially if you see that sinisterly smiling face at night, wouldn’t it be scarier than if you were in a real horror house? No, you might even feel like you’re experiencing a real-life horror movie.

Seriously, if only he didn’t have that sinister smile, I could confidently say he’s a hot guy.

I think Jin-ha could readily give permission to do [peek-a-boo].

But even that sinister smile was too lovely to tell him to stop smiling like that.

All I could do was simply offer a warning.

“Anyway, don’t do anything weird and watch Jin-ha carefully. I’ll call you shortly.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll be watching you closely.”

My husband immediately started playing with Jin-ha by shaking the rattle, and I left the room for a moment to call my mom.

[Tiring ringing -]

[Hello? Are you calling about Jin-ha again?]

Is it because I make too many phone calls because of childcare?

As soon as my mom answered the phone, she let out a sigh of annoyance, and I scratched my tail awkwardly at her reaction.

“No. I’m not calling you today because of Jin-ha. I just have a question.”

[Are you curious? What are you curious about?]

“This is the thing I caught when I was fishing. I remember hearing about it from my mom before, but it’s been so long that I can’t remember it clearly.”

Since the lifespan has increased as a result of becoming a thousand-year-old, is it true that the fish caught during the stone catch?

Or maybe he made a living by drawing pictures, so he would have picked up a needle?

I waited for an answer, thinking it would be one of the two, but the answer I heard on the other end of the phone was completely different from what I had expected.

[jujube.]

“Huh?”

[You picked dates.]

What does jujube mean?

I switch to speakerphone and search the Internet for the meaning of the word “stone grabber.”

“Let’s see, jujube… What does jujube mean…”

I clicked on the first article that appeared in the search results that appeared, and the moment I checked the article’s content.

“Ugh…”

I felt my face turn red and I dropped my phone from my hand.
