Now that I think about it, I think maybe I was too obsessed with magical girls.

I guess everyone in the magical girl collecting game community likes my mini-characters, and since I like to make pretty ones, I’ve continued to make magical girls.

If I only make magical girls every time, people will think I only make magical girls.

So today I was thinking of making something different.

Considering that my first request was to make a squirrel seal, I guess people like pretty things more than cute things.

Looking back, there are people who watch our channel, and there are people who came in thanks to my mini-story, but maybe there are also many people who came because we are cute?

I guess I misjudged my target audience. If I wanted people like that to ask for my mini-art, I would have made something cute!

Since Hamshik made me, it’s my turn to make Hamshik this time.

So I decided to make ham-sik with all my heart.

First of all, in order to make it well, you need to observe the subject carefully. Just as you looked for illustrations and concept art to make the magical girls the same, you need to look at Hamshik in the same way.

Unlike the magical girls who can only be seen in pictures and drawings, Hamshik is lying down next to me.

“Okay, Hamshik is round. His eyes are round. His nose is round. His belly is round too… … Is he free?”

“Keeek!”

“Hehehe, I see. Hamshik is slim. No, when you tell an animal to be slim, aren’t you making fun of them for starving? Isn’t it better to be chubby?”

“Keeek!”

“I see. It’s good for Hamshik to be slim. Got it.”

I thought that not only would they be cute if they were round, but they would also be good for animals because they would have stored up nutrients.

It seemed like Hamshik didn’t want to hear that he was fat.

If that’s the case, it would be nice if we could exercise together. Well, I usually just crawl around and dance when I play rhythm games, so I guess that’s enough.

Well, let’s start with the frame. I think we should first check how fluffy the fur is.

I slowly stroked Hamshik, who was lying down quietly, starting from the head.

I always touched his belly and wiped the water off his fur. I had never intentionally petted him, so I realized something new.

Most of Hamshik’s volume was actually fur! Well, it did shrink a bit when it got into the water. I hadn’t noticed that until now.

That’s because the fur is so fluffy. I was so addicted to it that I found myself half-leaning on Hamshik’s back without realizing it.

Thanks to Hamshik quietly leaving me alone, I came to my senses after a long time.

“Oh my gosh, this is not the time. Hamshik needs to make a Min-Earcher.”

“Is the ham diet that warm?”

Did she hear me? Narin, who had been completely absorbed in the bed, stuck her head out over the edge of the bed and asked me.

“Of course! It’s so cozy. Na-rin-ni-sister too… … . Oh, Na-rin-ni-sister can’t go up to Hamshik. Then it’ll be awkward.”

It’s a shame that we can’t enjoy this good thing together. At times like this, I feel sorry that Narin isn’t as small as us.

“That’s right. Sometimes I want to be small like you guys… … . Oh, of course I don’t want to be like that every day. There are things that require a big body.”

It’s a pity, it’s a pity. In fact, there are definitely some advantages to being large. I nodded to Narin’s words.

“That’s right. The most uncomfortable part was taking the elevator. It’s fortunate that Hamshik and Saekmusae are here now, but if they weren’t there, Jihyun and I would have a hard time getting around, right?”

Right now, it’s difficult for us to even open a door or take an elevator.

Until then, you’ll probably have to attach a stick to your RC car to press the high buttons.

Then, it would be inconvenient to carry around, so it would have to be foldable, and then its durability would decrease significantly.

Although it is exciting because it is small, it is inevitable that there are some inconveniences in many ways.

But how can everything in the world be good? Still, the world is so busy that we live only thinking of good things.

Hamshik’s soles, stomach, etc. Okay, now that we know more about the face and back, let’s turn Hamshik over.

“Hamshik-ah. Do you want to lie down for a second? Below you? In front? Wait, how do I say this?”

Hamshik had made all the fur colors, and this time, at the moment when I was about to check Hamshik’s stomach, I was momentarily confused.

If you divide people into upper and lower body, you would usually refer to the upper body above the waist, and the lower body below the waist and the legs.

But how should we divide hamsters? Should we divide them from above the waist to below the waist like we do? Or, since they crawl on all fours, should we call the leg part the lower body and the upper body the upper body?

I drew a picture of Hamshik in my head and drew a line around and around. How should I draw the line based on where to divide Hamshik’s upper and lower body?

“Namina, why are you suddenly like that?”

Jihyun, who was helping Saekmoose pick out feathers, approached him. She seemed worried because he was making a good hamshik but it suddenly hardened.

“Jihyun-ah. You said you majored in biology, right? Well, Hamsik said. If you divide the upper and lower body, should you divide it like this, or should you divide it like this, top and bottom?”

It’s a good thing. We have Jihyun, who’s smart. Plus, she majors in this field.

So I asked with shining eyes, and as expected, Jihyun answered right away without disappointing me.

“Divide into the back and stomach, and also divide into the head and tail. There is no correct answer. Originally, the upper and lower body were concepts applied to humans, so animals just have different names.”

“Aha! Then you’re dividing it into four parts! Just like dividing a graph into four quadrants. But since this is three-dimensional, the concepts of left and right are also included! Hamsik can divide it into eight quadrants!”

“That’s not true, but… … .”

Jihyun’s expression looks complicated. But as always, if it’s not refuted, you can assume it’s roughly true.

So, while humming a tune, I rolled the hamburger. I had to turn the hamburger over to see the belly.

“Hamshik-ah, let me see your stomach for a second. I need to see what your legs, hands, and feet look like.”

But, just call it by its name correctly like Jihyun told you. That’s enough.

Hamshik rolled over obediently as I pushed him. Hamshik lay down on the mat and stretched out his body.

If it were normal, you would avoid my touch because it’s annoying, then quickly turn away. Or you would dropkick me.

For some reason, Hamshik was cooperative. Perhaps he was touched when I said I would make him something?

I held Hamshik’s hand because the cute front and back legs sticking out from the edge of the white belly were so cute.

“Hehehe. I haven’t looked closely, but Hamshik’s hands look like this. His feet look just like hands too.”

Still, perhaps because he found it annoying to hold my hand, Hamshik shook my hand away.

Since I had to make a ham-sik anyway, I quietly let go of the ham-sik and started playing with the rubber clay.

First of all, the ham hunk of meat looks like this. If you look closely at the fur, the flesh inside is pink.

Make a small mouse in pink. I’m thinking of covering it with thick fur.

“No! It’s a bald ham diet!”

“Keeek!”

At first, Hamshik didn’t know why the pink lump was being made, but when it took shape, he screamed.

Did it look a little weird? Or was it, as the color-blind man said, that anyone could tell he was balding and that he looked strange?

“Hamshik-ah, I’m going to glue the fur tightly here. Do you think I’ll finish it like this? Look, I made the fur color first.”

When I tried to coax Hamshik, who was trying to crush the pink lump, Hamshik crouched down quietly as if he would tolerate it this time.

I felt a little uncomfortable because he was staring at me intently, like he was trying to see if I could do well.

I trust the time I’ve spent with Hamshik and my dexterity. In addition, I’ve gained training while making magical girls, and I’ve even gained experience in how to make fur while making Squirrel Girl.

If you pull the rubber clay in both directions, it will stretch and then break. Just before it breaks, if you gather the thin threads and make them tight, it will be in the perfect condition to express hair.

It needs to be handled very delicately because it falls apart and loses its shape even with the slightest force.

And I have a very delicate hand, so I guess I’m a natural at doing this kind of work.

In this world, I’m the only one… …! I can’t do this, but aren’t there few people who can do this?

It would naturally take a long time to cover all the pink flesh with these fine hairs.

Jihyun and Saekmusae, who had been watching this, had already left to do something else, and Narin also lowered her head after watching us. She must have fallen asleep because she was bored.

But did Hamshik like the fact that he was being made, or was he watching over him? He kept his black eyes wide open and watched him.

So I couldn’t help but feel strong. At first, the lump of rubber clay was just a tailless pink mouse, but it gradually began to grow fur and take the shape of a hamster.

Hamshik finally seemed to be able to trust me, and his expression became a little more relaxed. I can finally read that fierce face!

Could it be because the fur was just stuck so tightly? The fur was only attached to the head and back, but the surroundings were already getting dark.

Nearly six hours had passed. There, I stretched my aching limbs and looked at the ham I had finished making.

Well, is it too much work to make and attach each hair strand? But I don’t want to finish it off haphazardly. After all, I’m making a ham.

So, I guess I’ll have to postpone the completion until tomorrow.

“Ugh, Hamshik-ah. Let’s stop here for today and do the rest tomorrow. Maybe I’ll have to keep making them until the day after tomorrow.”

Hamshik also didn’t urge me any further because he saw my sincerity. He just closed his eyes as he had been looking at me.

Jihyun, who saw that, turned to Narin. It seems like she remembered that Narin was sleeping because Hamshik was sleeping.

Well, I did take a really long nap today. I slept until dinnertime.

“Oh, um. It’s Jihyun. What, why is it so dark? … … It’s already seven o’clock? My vacation aaa!”

It seemed that Narin had accumulated quite a bit of fatigue.
