Ha-eun!!!!

Ha-eun!!!!

 

Perseus arrived at my lair faster than I expected.

Seeing that he arrived in less than 3 minutes, I thought he might have been asking for my permission while already on his way, rather than asking before leaving.

But deciding to ignore such minor details, I welcomed Perseus.

“Welcome.”

I bowed in greeting, expressing gratitude for taking care of my belongings and delivering them all the way here.

Perseus looked very satisfied and spoke to me.

“Alright.”

Though he’s pretending to be nonchalant, the corners of his mouth are turned up significantly, making his emotions quite obvious.

I blinked at Perseus and then looked around at the mountain of gifts piled up.

‘What did I receive again…’

Since I hadn’t properly checked, I couldn’t remember what gifts there were at all.

I decided to check them one by one, carefully opening the first box.

Inside, I saw it was filled with what looked like extremely expensive jewels.

“…?”

Just as I was feeling bewildered, wondering why they would send such things.

Perseus, who was beside me, added a comment while looking at me.

“It seems to be pocket money.”

This is pocket money…?

The way of thinking is so different that I can’t possibly keep up.

Deciding to bury this in my memory, I carefully closed the box.

Then, opening the remaining boxes and checking inside, what I saw was a box full of numerous miniatures.

‘How cute.’

It seemed they were given to be used as decorations, so I was giggling and examining them one by one when.

Perseus, who was beside me, explained the true nature of the miniatures.

“They’re miniaturized furniture. If you put mana into them, you can adjust them to the desired size.”

At the word ‘miniaturized’, I blinked blankly.

The fact that they could be adjusted to any desired size meant that these numerous miniatures were ‘real furniture’.

‘It seems like there are over 100 of them… Are these all real?’

As I stared at them in amazement, numerous exclamations quickly scrolled up in the chat window.

[MilkDrinker – Wow, isn’t that the Lercier brand? I know those are incredibly expensive individually, and there are 100 of them in there OMG]

[Blian – Lercier? OMG That’s insane.]

[CottonCandyGhost – Then we can use those to decorate the underground city.]

Judging by the reactions, it seems the furniture I received is quite high-quality.

I silently thanked the Elder who gifted them to me, then started distributing them one by one to the Somis.

“Can you deliver these down below?”

“Beep!”

At that obvious affirmative response, I smiled brightly and placed the small furniture pieces one by one on top of the Somis’ heads.

“Beep~”

“Beeep~”

“Beeeep~”

The Somis seemed happy to receive the furniture, beeping as they entered the underground.

As I watched their reactions with satisfaction, I continued to pick up and distribute the miniature furniture pieces one by one.

Then I noticed Yuna, Chae-a, and Seo-a peeking their faces out from the entrance leading underground.

Wondering why they were doing that, I tilted my head.

The three of them simultaneously giggled, then wriggled their way up and ran towards me, saying:

“We made something this big!”

“That’s right! It’s amazing…! As amazing as Ant Oppa!”

“Myam!”

It seems she came running to me, wanting to be praised for what she made.

The fact that she came for praise was so cute that I ruffled her hair vigorously, and then I was about to go check it out, but…

I faced a dilemma because there were still too many gifts left to check.

‘I think it would be better to go after checking all the remaining ones…’

Of course, if I just left now, it was obvious that I would forget to check the gifts and postpone it.

‘Even if I don’t forget…’

The conflict continued because I needed to open the gifts quickly to organize the luggage faster.

But when Seo-a grabbed my hand and pleadingly said, ‘Myam-myam. Appa come,’ I thought it would be better to open the gifts later.

‘Because the children are more important…!’

I decided to go see the amazing something that Chae-a, Yuna, and Seo-a had made, holding Seo-a’s hand tightly.

*

As we went downstairs, what we saw was a giant furry statue.

As I stared blankly at the stone statue, Chae-a next to me spoke with a proud voice.

“It’s a huge furry… Isn’t it amazing!?”

This is certainly amazing.

As I was staring with sparkling eyes at the intricately carved furry statue,

Yuna next to me revealed who made it.

“The Somis made it.”

“The Somis…?”

I wonder how they made it.

Suddenly, an intense curiosity arose, so I picked up a nearby Somi to check if it had something like hands…

But I noticed that it didn’t even have proper feet, let alone hands.

‘Could they be buried in the fur?’

Maybe that could be the case, so I looked closely inside the fur to find hands.

The more I looked into the fur, the more the fur seemed to look back at me… Oh, that’s not right.

I couldn’t see anything.

“Beep?”

While I was thinking that I didn’t really understand after tidying up Somi’s fluffy fur again.

Chae-a explained the method instead.

“If you lick it with your tongue like this, it’s created!”

Creating a stone statue with a tongue…?

I blinked blankly while watching Somi licking my cheek vigorously.

Since it was only warm and soft, it seemed impossible to make a stone statue with this.

“Hmm.”

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

I put down the Somi I was holding and moved to open the gift again.

*

It seemed that Chae-a, Yuna, and Seo-a found it interesting to watch me open the gift earlier.

They followed me closely, staring intently at the gift box.

I smiled at the three of them and told them ‘go ahead and open it if you want to’.

Then I opened the gift box again and checked inside.

‘This time there are clothes inside.’

There are animal pajamas that Chae-a and Yuna like, and also something like a dress.

For now, it seemed better to think about this later, so I put it aside for a moment, and while I was looking at what was inside.

Chae-a called us all together with a cheer.

“Woah! There’s something amazing here!”

At the mention of something amazing, I approached and saw a box full of numerous toys.

From cute animal dolls to dolls in human form.

While I was thinking it was definitely full of elements that babies would like, Yuna wagged her tail vigorously and told us.

“I’m happy.”

Yuna took out a small bear doll from inside and her eyes sparkled.

As it was before and now, it seemed she really liked bears as living creatures.

I found Yuna so cute that I patted her head vigorously and said.

“Then you can have that, Yuna.”

At my words, Yuna’s ears fluttered happily.

But then she quickly shook her head and said it was okay, giving the bear doll to Seo-a.

“It’s okay. I’m happier if we all have it together.”

“Koom!”

Seo-a seemed very happy that Yuna had given her the bear doll.

She jumped up and down, extremely happy, and clung to Yuna’s side, chattering something.

“Bbae bbae kkom. Myam mya.”

Then, giggling, she picks up a teddy bear as big as herself and starts running around like Chae-a.

While I was chuckling at how cute it was, Chae-a, who was next to me, suddenly approached Seo-a with a startled expression and said.

“It’s dangerous to run like that…! You know? You should walk slowly!”

“Why? Bear.”

I can’t believe Chae-a is saying it’s dangerous to run around and that she should walk slowly.

It seems her behavior is definitely changing now that she has a much younger sibling.

I’m so proud of Chae-a’s growth that I’m smiling inwardly as I open the next gift box.

As I opened it, Yuna was the first to react.

Yuna, while hugging my tail, explained what was inside.

“It’s storybooks. There are many.”

There are about 10 storybooks packed inside.

I was thinking it would be better to place these at home later, but Perseus, who was next to me, said something.

“That’s my gift, so I’d like you to look at it now if possible.”

Since the gift-giver was right in front of me, I couldn’t refuse.

I awkwardly smiled and took out the storybook on top, opening it on the floor.

[The Three Little Pigs]

The title was familiar, so I wasn’t particularly excited about the storybook itself.

What was surprising was its content.

Or more precisely, what was inside it.

The moment I opened the storybook, the three little pigs popped out like holograms.

It started to move as if it really existed.

[Honey! I’m the first pig!]

Even as an adult, I find it fascinating, so how amazing must it be for the little ones?

I nodded with satisfaction as I watched Chae-a, Yuna, and Seo-a jumping up and down with excitement.

‘I’m glad I opened it.’

I thought, feeling quite happy to be able to see such an adorable sight.

I discreetly showed this scene on my phone and asked the viewers for their opinions.

“Aren’t Chae-a, Yuna, and Seo-a cute?”

[Seo-rinSeo-rin: Yes, yes, and Ha-eun is cute too!]

[BlackCat: Wow, children’s books have gotten so much better these days lol. Anyway, the babies are really cute lol]

[Meltron: Ah, this is healing. This is what healing is. I want to quit being a hunter and just watch broadcasts.]

Everyone seems to agree, and it makes me smile.

I was giggling and about to open the next gift when someone started typing urgently in the chat.

[Toast: Ha e]

[Toast: Ha-eun!!! There’s a wolf in front!]

Seeing those words, I blankly stared ahead.

A large wolf was approaching, making a “Kwang” sound.
