The fluffy nine tails he had since birth, and the spirituality and dignity he inherited from his parents.

As he had a spirit, Jin-ha was naturally smarter than other children his age, and so he was able to think a little bit even though he was only born a short time ago.

But even accidents tend to become simple in the face of overwhelming fear.

The baby gumiho looked at the monster in front of her and thought, her plump body trembling.

“Yeah, ahh …

Where the hell did this come from? How could it look more sinister than my dad?

And why is that evil face getting more and more hardened, and why are mom and dad just sitting there?

Jin-ha called out to the fluffy white dog hiding in the corner, begging for his life, but the fox god, sensing his gaze, pretended not to see him and disappeared over the wall.

A desperate situation where no one can be expected to help.

Jin-ha, who was smart, started to think of a way to overcome the situation with his soft head.

My mom, dad, and Whitey, who I thought were my saviors, mercilessly abandoned me.

The maids who used to squeal and cheer whenever they saw me are nowhere to be seen, perhaps because they are afraid of that monster.

What should I do?

Could it be possible for this monster to be possessed?

The fox’s instinct to possess everything quietly awakens.

When Jin-ha stops crying and smiles brightly, a soft atmosphere is added to the cuteness of the original, and a magical atmosphere is created around her.

Did it succeed? Jin-ha stared at the monster’s face with expectant eyes.

But soon, Jin-ha realized that he had been very mistaken.

“Oh…?”

It was true that the monster’s expression had loosened.

However, the face ended up looking even more terrifying, to the point where a hardened face would look much better.

Jin-ha’s grandfather just smiled lovingly at his granddaughter who finally let her guard down and smiled.

With his age-appropriate intelligence and the problems caused by his lack of learning and knowledge, it was only natural that Jin-ha could think differently.

The corners of the lips are likely to be caught on the ear at any moment.

A nose that blows out strong breath as if it were excited.

Finally, the predatory gaze streaming from the two bulging eyes.

“Aaaa …

Jin-ha screamed with all his might in instinctive fear that he would be eaten, and only then was he able to receive some kind of salvation, albeit a bit of salvation, from his mother.

“Waaa …

She puffs out her soft cheeks and cries so sadly.

He cries loudly and flails his whole body as if to express his resentment, as if asking why he is only helping now.

No matter how smart a baby is, 4 months old is still 4 months old.

Jin-ha cried until his throat was hoarse as he was held by his mother and felt a sense of security before falling asleep, and Cheon-ho let out a sigh as he laid the baby gumiho in the cradle.

“Big… groan…”

I shudder to hold back my laughter, barely able to calm myself down.

Then, he approached his father, who had a gloomy expression, and carefully patted his hunched back.

“It’s okay, Dad. Babies tend to cry easily when they see strangers. Jin-ha will get used to it and be okay.”

“…I don’t feel like crying at all when I see a stranger.”

“Hey, no way. You wouldn’t be afraid of Grandpa, would you? Puhhh…”

Although he said it as a joke, Cheonho also vaguely knew.

That piercing scream was definitely not a warning to a stranger.

My daughter screamed because she was afraid of her grandfather.

But, I could never tell the truth.

If he was already so depressed because his granddaughter rejected him, how much more depressed would he be if he found out that she was afraid?

Even if he was clueless, this was something that even a seasoned person would know, and Cheonho naturally chose to remain silent.

“Father.”

“…”

“Don’t be so sad… Here, Jin-ha, give her a hug. She’s sleeping soundly, so she’ll be okay now.”

“Is that okay? If you wake up later…”

“Our Jin-ha, once you fall asleep, you won’t know even if I carry you. Come on! Hold me once before you wake up. If you wake up… I think you’ll cause trouble again.”

Cheonho took the baby out of the cradle and held her in his arms to comfort his father, and the stranger looked down at his granddaughter sleeping in his arms and smiled bitterly.

“Small and fragile.”

“… He’s sturdy. He weighs a lot compared to his peers. And who wouldn’t be like that when compared to his father? ”

Cheonho refuted with a look of disbelief, but the grandfather who couldn’t give up his arms could only see his weak granddaughter.

“If this is big enough, pass it on to Jin-ha.”

“…What is this, Father?”

“You’ll know when you open it.”

After carefully placing her frail granddaughter in the cradle so that she wouldn’t wake up, she smiled broadly and handed her something heavy.

The heavy object in the bag. No, the weight felt familiar, and Cheonho’s expression hardened. He quietly called out to his mother, who was poking his granddaughter’s soft cheek.

“Mom.”

“Huh? Why are you calling?”

“Come here and look at this.”

My daughter’s serious voice that never comes out unless there is an emergency.

The middle-aged woman walked over and checked the items in her bag.

“Hey you crazy person!!!”

The moment she saw the item, she became furious and ran towards her husband and started beating his back without mercy.

What’s inside the bag is none other than something cute and pink.

Available in a variety of weights from 1kg to 5kg…

It was a pink dumbbell set.

—–

“Come back next time! Then, even with a custom kettlebell…!”

“Shut up, you idiot! This guy is crazy about exercise, why would he stop his granddaughter from getting married?!”

“A healthy mind in a healthy body… Kyaaah!!!”

With my mother’s help, my father withdrew from the mansion too easily.

All that remains in the place where my father swept through is a hazy atmosphere and an exhausted body.

I caressed Jin-ha’s soft belly and yawned deeply as the fatigue washed over me.

“Whoa, it was a short but very difficult time.”

“That’s right, our Jin-ha… You cried a lot today, right?”

“Yeah, I guess Grandpa was really scared. He said it was the first time he heard a fox slitting his throat?”

“The old man is really scary. But since I saw him today, I think it’ll be better next time, right?”

“You’ll get used to it after seeing it a few times. It took me a while to get used to your face, right?”

“Ahem.”

My husband keeps coughing because he feels uncomfortable.

I was looking at my husband with loving eyes when I found a pile of pink dumbbells that my father had left behind in the corner of the room.

“Sigh…”

“Why?”

“Look over there, you left it behind in the end?”

“What? Oh… pink dumbbells?”

My husband giggled, finding it so amusing, and then he brought out one of the pink dumbbells and thrust it at me.

“How about you try exercising while you’re at it? Don’t you think it’d be good?”

“Phew, you’re kidding. If you like muscular women like my sister, I’ll be happy to do it for you.”

“Um… The femdom stuff is a bit gross, so I’ll hold off for now.”

My husband shook his head, perhaps thinking that she was a female vixen with a solid six-pack.

Then, he quietly placed the pink dumbbell down and stroked Jin-ha’s head, who was smiling faintly as if she was having a good dream.

Gently, gently.

A fluffy tail that keeps fluttering as if in a good mood.

While I was healing myself by watching the little tail move here and there, after a while I heard Jin-ha babbling something, as if he was sleeping.

“…baa”

“”???””

The peaceful atmosphere was shattered by a cute snort.

The spark of conflict between the couple and the heavy atmosphere it created made them quietly open their mouths.

“You just heard that.”

“Of course I heard it. I clearly said ‘daddy’. I called daddy first!”

“Even if your ears are wrong, you are seriously wrong. You clearly said ‘Maa…’, so of course it would be Mom!”

Listening to my husband, it really seemed like he had called his father first, but I still tried to be stubborn.

With the hope that the word ‘Mom’ would come out of my lovely daughter’s mouth first.

But, she asked me with a determination that she would never back down, whether this was the same for her husband.

“Ha! That’s funny, how can you be so sure?”

“Because Jin-ha likes me much more than you! You saw it last time, right? When I told him to choose, he crawled to me! ”

“That’s because I was hungry! In certain situations, it’s natural for me to go to you!”

“And you only came to me, you idiot. It’s not because of the milk, it’s because you like me much more!”

Would they have continued to fight like that endlessly?

When Jin-ha showed signs of babbling again, we immediately stopped what we were doing and waited for Jin-ha to say next.

A situation right before joy and sorrow intersect.

As I looked at Jin-ha’s filthy mouth with great anticipation, words that made my heart ache soon flowed out of Jin-ha’s mouth.

“Dad…”

A babble that clearly sounded like she was calling her husband.

My husband let out a cheer of joy, while I twitched my ears and tail in melancholy.

Jinha, how did this mother raise you?

Whenever I had time, I would shake the rattle to entertain you, and, huh? I would even wag my fluffy, cuddly tail a few times, so how could I possibly find your bumbling father?

My bad husband started mocking me when I looked at my daughter with resentment.

However, this absurd situation was completely turned upside down by Jin-ha’s next babbling.

“What a mess…”

In a situation where I was being teased, the face of my husband who had been teasing me hardened in an instant at the sound of a small and cute voice.

“What did you just say…?”

A stupid face, as if he heard something he shouldn’t have heard.

The husband, who had been looking down at Jin-ha, creaking like a broken machine, was mentally devastated by Jin-ha’s next babbling.

“Dad… What the…”

“…”

On this day, the husband made a promise.

I will never smile sinisterly in front of my daughter again.
