Originally, the owner of this shrine may have been a wealthy man, but the shrine was quite large. Naturally, my room was large enough to be considered a single room, so it was not too cramped for two people to sleep on a blanket.

The big-breasted woman fell asleep the moment her head hit the pillow.

The unlit room in the shrine deep in the mountains was not as dark as I thought.

Perhaps with this in mind, the moon was directly visible outside the window, and the softly twinkling moonlight illuminated the women and me lying on the bed.

It wasn’t enough to disturb my sleep.

The night in the mountains was surprisingly calm.

You can hear the sound of leaves hitting raindrops.

All I could hear was a knock-knock sound, and sometimes an owl sound.

boo boo

Or is it the sound of an owl?

I don’t think it’s particularly important.

Then, a croaking sound was heard from quite close by.

When I hear the sounds of nature like this, sometimes I forget for a moment about how to live here and quietly listen to nature’s performance.

Nature had such charm.

I couldn’t sleep.

If I don’t sleep now, I’ll be tired tomorrow. I put aside the thought for a moment and opened the window next to my bed.

The smell of rain was in the air along with the cool night air.

I liked the strangely refreshing smell of grass that you only smell when it rains, like a mixture of grass and earth.

Petrico

In academic circles, this smell was called petrichor.

Boo boo boo

Ah, as expected!

The owl was so close that it could easily be seen with the naked eye.

Somehow I thought the sound was too close.

The owl that was bobbing its head on the tree saw me, lifted one of its wings, and cried.

boo

I had a strong feeling that it was somehow like a greeting.

I also raised my hand and waved, and the owl flew in this direction. It was so quiet that I thought it was flying, but I couldn’t hear any sound at all, so I was surprised and wondered if I was mistaken.

If I had been looking somewhere other than the owl, I wouldn’t have noticed that the owl was approaching me.

The owl sits by the window and looks at me.

Despite their cute appearance, owls are dangerous birds of prey, but for some reason, I felt strongly confident that it would be safe to touch them.

[We are the same people!]

You may have a bit of a strong crow gene, but all birds feel a kinship with you.

Even if you approach a bird that recognizes it as a member of its own species, it will feel threatened and the bird will not run away or attack you.

The birds listen to you and understand what you mean.

Thoughts at the time: Druid tree is strong.

The owl did not react when touched.

It is said that the owl is very clean and is washed with water every day, but there was nothing dirty on its fur.

The owl played with me for a while and then went off to get food.

I felt a little cold, so I closed the window and went back to bed.

At that time, a woman with no breasts opened the door, wiping her hair with a towel as if she had washed up, came in, and sat down roughly on the bed, making the bed shake and make my body float for a moment.

“Aren’t you sleeping?”

“I talked to the owl.”

I spoke honestly.

There was no reason to lie.

He picked up a feather that the owl had dropped on the window and showed it to him.

“Owl?”

The woman observed the feathers with questioning eyes, but soon lost interest.

Then, he hung the towel he had used to dry his hair on the doorknob and started pushing me, who was lying down, to the side.

“Go to the side.”

I was so startled that I pushed the woman away with my small feet.

What kind of woman has no fear..!

Ah, the same gender.

Anyway, I was embarrassed.

“Go away! There’s a blanket underneath! This is my bed!”

“The bed is big, so what? Hey, if you lie down next to that sister, you’ll be in big trouble. Hug me and don’t let go.”

I tried with all my might to push away, but in the end, I was helplessly pushed to the corner of the bed and had no choice but to give up.

I was so heartbroken that I rolled the blanket around my body.

If you sleep without a blanket in this cold weather, you will automatically go downstairs and sleep with that woman, covering yourself with a blanket.

“Oh my, it’s kimbap, kimbap.”

The woman put her legs and arms on the rolled up blanket, preventing me from moving. I felt a little stuffy and couldn’t even put my hands out, so I just shook my head.

“It’s frustrating!”

“I need to have a bite. Wham wham.”

The woman opened her mouth with an indifferent expression and did something strangely meaningless, biting my hair with her mouth!

Dear!

I didn’t seem like the type to joke around!

After resisting pointlessly for a while, I was exhausted and lowered my head with a sigh.

The woman seemed to have no intention of continuing the action, and then stopped.

The only sound in the room was the sound of insects seeping in through the cracks in the window.

Sting, stab, stab.

Why did these women come here?

Why did this woman I ran into at the park chase me here?

I opened my mouth briefly and then closed it again.

Now it doesn’t seem that important.

Thanks to that, I was able to eat meals and not be bored.

“Hey.”

The woman lay silently and then spoke to me.

The attitude was a little indifferent.

“Why?”

I also answered indifferently.

“Would you like me to follow you?”

I thought for a moment what that meant.

Why is this woman like this?

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t figure out his intentions.

When I didn’t answer, the woman opened her mouth again.

“Let’s live together with me. Not a place like this. Honestly, it’s hard to live here alone.”

I still didn’t answer and just listened.

Because after listening to that woman, I thought more.

Honestly, I didn’t have the confidence to live here alone.

How can a child survive alone in the mountains when he has no job and no money?

However, since I couldn’t figure out this woman’s intentions, I had a hard time following her.

She spoke with a slightly excited face as she gradually revealed her plans for her future life with me.

He didn’t answer, but he talked about his future worries as if it was enough for me to just listen. Although he didn’t ask me, he also talked about his usual lifestyle and working hours at work.

I listened quietly, and since there were parts that were a little different from what I knew, I occasionally asked questions and responded appropriately.

It wasn’t boring because I could get a rough idea of what this world felt like.

Then, little by little, he became quieter and quieter, and I looked in the direction where the woman was.

The woman, too, must have fallen asleep, tossing and turning, then relaxed her arms and legs from me and closed her eyes a little next to me.

“Haaam…”

I was starting to feel sleepy, so I tried to close my eyes, but the chill of the early morning made the room feel cold, and I felt uncomfortable seeing the woman lying down without a blanket, so I unwrapped the blanket I had rolled up around my body and covered it for her.

Then I pulled the blanket over my body and closed my eyes.

As my eyes slowly closed, I couldn’t overcome the feeling of someone wrapping around me and the warmth I felt throughout my body, so I closed them.

Unable to overcome the sunlight streaming into my eyes, I opened my eyes and it was already morning.

There was no woman on the bed.

The blanket underneath also disappeared without a trace, as if it had never happened.

… Did you go?

He asked me to come with him, but since he didn’t answer, he seemed to have just left.

It was a problem that bothered me a lot.

It was a bit disappointing.

It seems like I quickly fell in love with you in that short amount of time one night.

I wrapped my growling stomach and headed to the kitchen.

Maybe it’s because I’m growing up, but I get hungry quickly.

I looked to see if there was any leftover food from yesterday, but it turned out that I ate it all yesterday.

“Hey.”

When I turned around, I saw that the woman was carrying a large backpack and lifted me up with one arm and placed me next to her.

Power is a business.

“Let’s go eat. I’m hungry.”

“Guys~ Let’s get down quickly.”

That was the moment when my safe residence was decided.

*****

The women must have had a lot of stamina, so unlike me, who went down a little and then took a break, they went down the stone stairs in one go without taking a break.

On the way down, we chatted occasionally, and the woman with big breasts and easy-going manner of speaking was Lee A-rin.

And the woman who always had an indifferent expression and small breasts was Jihye Lee.

As soon as I arrived at the bottom of the mountain, I saw the park from before.

There were fewer people in the park in the morning than at night.

It felt completely different from the park at night when no one was there, and although there were only a few people, that was enough to feel the liveliness of the morning.

The people in this world were not much different from where I used to live, but the atmosphere was a little different.

Everyone was smiling and talking, but they looked depressed.

Why is that?

I might just feel that way because I’m hungry and sensitive.

And although people were looking at me from a distance with a slightly fearful attitude towards me with wings, they also seemed to see something welcome inside.

As I feared, it seems there was no such thing as me.

Still, he didn’t act like he was seeing anything truly amazing.

Since it’s like cosplay, it seems like there’s a lot of confusion as to whether the wings on the back are real or not.

I was afraid that I might be discovered, so I burrowed into Ji-hye’s arms to hide myself even a little.

I am a man… !

Because people’s eyes were burdensome to think about, my body did not accept the strong claims of my mind and moved honestly with my emotions.

Because we value practicality, we just threw away pride that was not helpful.

Fortunately, her breasts were very small, so I didn’t feel too guilty about digging into them like this.

You have to touch something to feel it.

However, she did not suffer any losses as she gave up her breasts and had a body optimized for survival and agility.

Jihye and Arin said hello to the people at the park, then put me in a big car and started heading somewhere.

The two of us were chatting loudly in the front seat, and I was lost in thought looking at the scenery outside the window in the back seat.

It was a new world.

It was completely different from the world I knew, and although this was Korea, it seemed not to be Korea.

There were hardly any people in sight, but robots made of machines were moving around in the empty space, forming a crowd.

The robots moved like people and cleaned the streets or checked traffic lights to see if they had any work assigned to them.

And people had strange, pointy machines on their heads.

No matter how much I think about it, I have no idea what that is.

These two people here did not wear it because it is required for the people here.

While waiting for the signal, I rolled down the window and stuck my face out to observe closely, but there was no result.

At most, that machine penetrates the flesh and is connected to the inside?

There were no people at the park.

What is that?

Is it something like a headset or earphones?

I poked Jihye’s arm as she sat in the passenger seat.

“Huh?”

“What is that on the side of your head?”

Jihye had no idea what that meant, but when she moved her gaze to follow the finger I was pointing at, she understood.

“They are called biobots, not people. To put it simply, it is essentially a machine that is not much different from the TV in your room.”

“Machine?”

“It’s just a robot that acts like a human. While playing a human, you also maintain public order. Since there aren’t too many people, everyone gets depressed and says that if something like that happens, it’s at least a little less severe.”

“Then what is that robot?”

“That’s an old-fashioned tin can. It’s a robot that was created a long time ago. You mean a vacuum cleaner that looks like a cylinder?”

“Is there anything he can’t say to a child? Turn around and say it.”

Arin slapped Jihye’s arm painfully while driving.

Ji-hye made a fuss and screamed that she was in pain, and Arin kept slapping her arm, asking her what she did well.

I looked at the people curiously at the explanation.

Although they say they are robots, the people picked up the money that had fallen and rejoiced at their unexpected luck, or ran away in a huff because they were late, and the high school girls squatted in the alley and petted the cat.

They felt joy and sorrow.

Is that what it means to act like a human being?

I don’t know.

In my eyes, you’re just a person.

Among them, there were few real humans to be seen.

Jihye says that just because she’s a robot, she doesn’t have human emotions and is just acting them out.

But I felt alive in the biobot.

If the difference in numbers is this much, isn’t it true that real humans are actually biobots?
