People say it’s good to carry your ID with you wherever you go, but it’s cumbersome to carry around a card that’s so big it reaches up to your chest.

So I decided to put it in Narin’s wallet and keep it. Since Narin said she would continue living with me anyway.

“Let’s make a phone call on the way home from work. I have to go to work today anyway… … .”

“Is this your cell phone?”

“Oh, I didn’t know. It’s a tool that lets you make phone calls and talk from a distance. You can even talk face to face.”

It’s not that I don’t know about cell phones. It’s just that the world without cell phones is stranger.

It’s a world where it’s very difficult to live without a cell phone because it makes things like calculations easier and has many additional functions.

But Narin spoke as if she thought I didn’t know anything about cell phones. Hmm, maybe she thought I was some dwarf who had crossed the gate?

Maybe even in this world, creatures like me aren’t common. Didn’t they say that since there are things like elves and orcs, it wouldn’t be strange if I were there?

Even if such a thing exists, it is an unfamiliar concept in this world. So if I think of myself as an entity beyond the gate, it may be a world where the world of my previous life and this world are connected.

But I don’t think it would be very credible to say that I just think that way. So I just said what I saw and heard in this life.

“I know about cell phones too! I saw them use them over there. They would give us food and talk to themselves. My daughter, what do you want to eat for dinner? That was just because I was curious and wondered if it was okay for me to use it.”

“You have a daughter and you do that… … .”

“Yes?”

“No, I was just talking to myself. Anyway, you can use it. Why not? If I have that, I can call you when something happens when you go to work.”

“Aha.”

I tried to imitate the old man from where I used to live, but Narin’s voice wasn’t that good.

I guess it wasn’t fun. Well, there’s nothing I can do. Even if I look up from inside Narin’s arms, I can only see her chin, and I can’t see her face either, so I can’t tell what kind of expression she has.

Anyway, I asked because I didn’t know I would get a cell phone with this body. Since you said you were just giving me something good, all I had to do was be grateful.

“Hamshik-ah, Na-rin-ni unnie bought us a cell phone. Let’s use it to call Na-rin-ni unnie when we miss her.”

And the best way to express your gratitude for a gift is to use it as much as possible.

In my previous life, I didn’t wear the clothes my mom bought me, so I showed a lot of disappointment without realizing it. Then, when I wore them before going to the military, she liked them so much that she cried.

… … Whenever I think about my past life, I miss my mom and dad. I think I threw a tantrum at the end because I only thought about how sick I was.

But that’s in the past. Let’s talk about everything from our past lives. Anyway, I just need to focus on the present, where I’m happy.

So, when I rubbed Hamshik’s back and made him happy just by touching him, Hamshik, who had been dozing off, opened his eyes half-asleep and glared at me.

But I don’t think it’s a bad feeling since he doesn’t make any noises like “kkeeek, kkeeeek”. Let’s pet and fondle him some more.

“Okay, now we’ve arrived at my sister’s workplace… … . Guys, you have to be quiet. Okay?”

“Yes! I’ll be quiet with Hamshik! Hamshik, don’t run around and make noise while I’m working. Got it?”

There was a strange tension in the voice that had been so detailed to us until now. I guess I can’t help but become serious when I come to work.

I haven’t been able to get a job, let alone a part-time job, because of my cancer. But I know that making money won’t be easy.

So I also started to feel nervous. I wonder what kind of workplace Narin is working at. Since she is the head of the household who feeds us, it would be nice if she works at a reliable workplace.

Of course, looking at Narin’s student-like face, I don’t think she’s working as a manager at a large corporation or anything.

Although it feels spacious to me and Hamshik, looking at the one-room house, you can’t say that it is financially affluent.

But if you work at a good job, you will eventually earn a lot of money. Aside from the fact that Narin wants us to eat a lot of delicious food, it would be good for Narin to work at a good job for her own sake.

It wasn’t just that I could see her head poking out of her coat from inside Narin’s arms. The building we entered was large, but I wondered if there was a building that wasn’t large in my eyes.

Since you can’t tell if this is a good company or a black company just by looking at the outside, the next thing to do is to look around. You can tell what kind of place this is by looking at the appearances of the people passing by.

I don’t know if the entire building is Narin’s workplace, or if only one floor or one office is Narin’s workplace.

First of all, the expressions on the faces of the people on the first floor were not very good. If this is the case even though Narin came to work late to make my ID, wouldn’t the expressions on the faces of the people be even darker during the actual commuting hours?

It must be hard to have a good expression on your face when going to school or work, but I was already feeling uneasy because people’s expressions were gloomy.

What if the workplace Narin works at is a place that just keeps on grinding people out and making them suffer? She can’t just tell them to quit.

I felt so guilty about pretending not to know about Narin’s hardships and just having fun. If I were just a pet, I could ignore my owner’s hardships, but I’m Narin’s younger sister.

The expressions of the people riding the elevator with me weren’t very good either. My heart ached when I thought about whether Narin’s face was like that too.

As I was thinking that, as the elevator doors closed, the man with the dark expression met my eyes.

Oh, what should I do? Pretend not to know? But what if I ignore that fierce face and run into Nalin’s arms and then Nalin confronts me?

After thinking about it for a moment, I stretched out my arm, waved at him, and whispered.

“Hello. It’s a secret that we’re here.”

At that moment, the man’s expression suddenly cleared up as if he had never frowned before. Then he started to snicker as if he was holding back laughter.

I whispered so that only the man could hear, but the woman on the other end caught my ear.

“Oh my, you’re so cute. Did you come to see where your sister works?”

It would be impossible not to see it. No matter how close you stand to the elevator door, there is space on the left and right.

So, with a sense of mission to protect Narin, I fought using my cuteness as a weapon.

“I was late because my sister was making my ID. If I went home, it would have been even later, so I came with you!”

“ID… … ? Oh, I see. But be careful. This place is so big that you might get lost. Don’t leave your sister, okay? ”

“Yes! I will never fall!”

Fortunately, the people who found us were good people. If they had thought we were industrial spies or trying to steal something from Narin’s arms, I would have been scared. They were worried about us like that.

I was worried that I might get lost, but anyway, I’ll be in Na-rin’s arms today, sticking close to Ham-shik.

Oh, and since it would be bad if she was uncomfortable while working, I would drop her off somewhere and she would stay there… … .

I thought I heard some suffocating sounds inside the elevator. But when I turned around when Narin was getting off, her body was slightly tilted, and everyone’s expressions looked happy.

This was clearly my cuteness that worked. I was so proud of it that I smirked at Hamshik.

“Ahem. Hamshik-ah, did you see? I made people laugh! Did I do well?”

“Ahaha, thanks to Namin, everyone laughed. Good job. This is where my sister works now… … . You have to be quiet, okay?”

Hamshik couldn’t understand what I was saying anyway and didn’t know how to speak, so I didn’t expect an answer. But when Narin praised him from above, he felt even better.

However, as the previously humorous voice gradually became more serious, my expression also became serious.

This is where Narin works. When we opened the door to Narin’s office and went in, warmer air than the hallway greeted us, but I didn’t feel it was all that warm.

It felt colder than an elevator. In an office filled with partitioned desks and the constant tapping of computers, there was no sound of people’s voices.

Narin works in such a desolate place. The moment I noticed Narin heading towards an empty seat, I had that thought.

“Ms. Narin. Can I see you for a moment?”

A girl’s voice came from below my head height.

Of course, it’s not like she’s really shorter than me. After all, it was a girl who was shorter than Narin’s chest who was speaking.

“Yes, sir.”

Following the voice, I peeked my head out a little further and looked down, and there was a girl with long, black hair tied into pigtails, wearing a suit.

The girl who had been called a manager by Narin made eye contact with me as I was looking out, then covered her mouth and made a gasp.

“Huk… … . Ahem, hmm. It was just a hiccup. I’ll have a cup of coffee before work. It won’t make a difference if I’m an hour late or ten minutes late. Oh, Narin, you don’t drink coffee. Tea? Cocoa? ”

“All cocoa… … .”

It was a cheerful voice, but when I heard Narin’s flustered voice, I felt like the girl was Narin’s evil boss.

Is there no way to give them a hard time?
