Chapter 93: Boss

‘Five hundred billion…’

Even a tenth of that money would be enough to live on for the rest of my life without working.

Five hundred billion for one treatment.

It was money I couldn’t earn even if I worked my whole life.

‘How am I going to pay this back?’

It wasn’t just a few pennies, but a whopping five hundred billion.

Even for Jinhyang, who had a lot of money, it was an amount that couldn’t help but be a burden.

Not that I could pay it back anyway.

“Ugh…”

I covered my face with both hands and shook it up and down as if washing it.

It was then that I heard Happiness’s cry.

“Meow.”

Looking down, I saw Happiness climbing up my body.

This time, it was on the outside of my clothes, not the inside, so I didn’t feel any pain.

I looked at Happiness and let out a long sigh.

“You’re so lucky. To be able to live without any worries.”

They feed you, put you to sleep, and stroke your head, saying you’re pretty.

It was the complete opposite of the life of a solitary predator.

I was really envious.

“Aish.”

I’m envying a cat’s life because of five hundred billion.

Even a tiger’s life is so good.

Magnificent, dignified, and revered by people.

It was a tremendous luxury that a kitten could not enjoy.

If only it weren’t for ‘five hundred billion’.

“Ugh.”

My sighs never end.

I lowered my hands from my face and looked up at the sky.

Someone put their hand on my head from behind.

“What were you doing?”

“Ah. Boss…”

I tilted my head back as if doing the limbo, and there was Jinhyang.

Next to her was Raxy Bora, her face flushed and grinning.

What on earth did they do to make Raxy like that?

As I looked back and forth between the two of them in confusion, Happiness had already climbed up to my face.

“Happiness?”

“Meow.”

Happiness cried softly and sat on my face.

In the position commonly known as baking bread.

My lips, nose, and part of my eyes.

I ended up giving most of my face to Happiness.

“Looks like you two have become friends?”

“Yes. When I got to know her, I realized that Happiness is a really nice kid. I was the bad one.”

A bad tiger blinded by jealousy.

That was me.

Even if Happiness is in Jinhyang’s arms right now because of the five hundred billion, I wouldn’t even be jealous.

“Harang, why are you so weak?”

“It’s because of the hospital bill…”

“Hospital bill?”

“Yeah. Hospital bill.”

I was about to nod to Raxy Bora, but I stayed still because I was afraid Happiness would fall.

I just rolled my eyes and looked at Jinhyang.

“Boss. I’ll get the money somehow and pay you back. I’m sorry.”

“Money? What money?”

“The hospital bill. I heard you spent five hundred billion on my treatment.”

At my words, Jinhyang frowned.

Did she think I couldn’t pay back five hundred billion?

If so, that was definitely the right answer.

‘Aish.’

Should I write a s*ave contract or something?

As I was seriously contemplating, what came out of Jinhyang’s mouth was unexpected.

“What do you mean it costs five hundred billion to make one of your treatments?”

“Huh? The researcher said he received five hundred billion earlier?”

“That was an investment in the overall research costs, not five hundred billion spent on one of your treatments.”

“Oh? Really?”

So I don’t have to pay back five hundred billion?

As I wagged my tail in anticipation, Happiness, who was sleeping on my face, also tapped her tail up and down.

“I don’t know about ten years ago, but these days it doesn’t cost much to make a treatment. The medical industry has developed a lot thanks to the monsters.”

“Ah…?”

That’s a relief.

I don’t have to pay back all five hundred billion.

As I let out a long sigh of relief, Jinhyang stroked her chin and opened her mouth in a small voice.

“…Maybe it cost about fifty billion for your treatment?”

“F-fifty billion…?”

“Yeah.”

Fifty billion.

That was still a huge amount for me.

Of course, unlike five hundred billion, it wasn’t an amount I couldn’t pay back.

I hadn’t been broadcasting recently, but the amount I earned from broadcasting was quite good.

If I started broadcasting in earnest, I could pay back about fifty billion by the time I died of old age.

“Boss.”

“Yeah?”

“I’ll call you Master from now on.”

At my words, Jinhyang’s frown deepened.

“Why is he doing this again…?”

“Why? If I owe you fifty billion, you’re my Master.”

“Why do I owe you money-”

Before Jinhyang could finish speaking, Raxy Bora reached out and covered Jinhyang’s mouth.

“Harang, should I tell you how to pay back fifty billion really quickly?”

“Huh? How?”

Even if I sold my body, I couldn’t easily pay back fifty billion. Is that even possible?

As I looked at Raxy Bora with a bewildered expression, she laughed and whispered in my ear.

“Harang, why don’t you seduce Jinhyang unnie?”

“Huh…?”

“If you call her honey instead of Master, you might not have to pay back the money?”

“N-no way! That’s not right!”

The joke is too much.

Same gender and a young body.

There was no way I could seduce Jinhyang.

I used my tail to hit Raxy Bora’s butt wildly.

Slap, slap-!

After hitting her about ten times, Jinhyang grabbed my tail.

“What did she say to make you so angry?”

“I-it’s a secret.”

Why did Raxy Bora suddenly say something so strange?

I blushed and glared at Raxy Bora, but she just laughed.

**

I played with the monsters with everyone at the research center and returned to the hospital room.

Around lunchtime, Delphine said she would come the next day and left the hospital room.

She had submitted her resignation, but she had to hand over her work and pack her belongings.

In the evening, Raxy Bora and Yoon Bora also left the hospital room.

I knew they had things to do, but I didn’t feel comfortable as people left one by one.

“B-boss…”

I grabbed Jinhyang’s sleeve for no reason.

If even she left, I would really be alone.

“Why?”

“What time are you leaving, Boss?”

“I’m not leaving. I’m going to sleep here tonight.”

“Huh? Really?”

That’s really good.

As I looked at Jinhyang with anticipation, she reached out and started taking off my clothes?

“Boss…?”

Why is she suddenly taking off my clothes?

I looked at Jinhyang with surprised eyes, but I didn’t resist.

Rather, I twisted my body this way and that to make it easier for her to take them off.

It was a little scary, but she wouldn’t do anything strange to me.

I was a little embarrassed to stand in front of Jinhyang in my underwear.

Come to think of it, I had never shown Jinhyang my underwear before.

‘I thought I was used to it.’

I’m embarrassed again to be like this in front of Jinhyang.

As I lowered my head and cowered, Jinhyang picked me up.

“You have to wash before you go to bed.”

“Ah, yes.”

She’s going to wash me.

I was embarrassed for nothing.

I gave an awkward laugh and looked at Jinhyang, and she moved to the dressing room with me in her arms.

“How much can you wash by yourself?”

“Um… About washing my hands?”

“So you want me to do everything…?”

“Yes. But I’ll tell you how to wash your ears. There’s a separate method.”

At my words, Jinhyang nodded and took off my remaining underwear.

I was quite embarrassed to be standing naked in front of Jinhyang.

As I quickly wrapped a towel around my body, I realized that Jinhyang was scanning my body up and down.

“If you grow up like this, you’re going to make a lot of men cry?”

“Me?”

“Yeah. You’re small, but you’re amazing.”

“Um…”

I couldn’t help but nod at Jinhyang’s admiring words.

If I grow up like this, I’ll become an even scarier and fiercer predator than I am now.

The thought of the people trembling and crying at my appearance made me feel good just thinking about it.

“Ah, was I a little too harsh?”

Jinhyang hesitated, so I shook my head.

“It’s okay. It wasn’t harsh at all.”

“Really?”

“Yes. But I’m going to make women cry too, not just men.”

Pause-

At my words, Jinhyang froze in place.

Like someone who had seen a ghost.

It was a long time before she spoke again.

“…What did you just say?”

“I said I’m going to make women cry too, not just men.”

“What does that mean…?”

“It means exactly what it says?”

I don’t understand why Jinhyang is so surprised.

I didn’t say anything particularly bad.

‘What is it?’

After thinking about it for a while, I was able to realize it quickly.

That Jinhyang is also a woman.

I was standing in front of Jinhyang, who is a woman, and said that I would make women cry, so she must have been surprised.

“Hehe.”

I couldn’t help but smile.

I thought Jinhyang was just a strong hunter, but I didn’t know she had such a delicate side.

“Boss. Are you scared?”

“W-what?”

“Are you scared that I’ll grow up and make you cry?”

“……”

Jinhyang didn’t answer my question.

However, silence is a sign of affirmation.

There was no way I couldn’t know that Jinhyang was afraid of me when I grew up.

“Don’t worry. I’ll never touch you, Boss.”

“W-what?”

“I really won’t touch you even a little bit.”

Jinhyang will be relieved with this much, hehe I’m smiling.

For some reason, Jinhyang’s expression was hardening.

“Huh?”

Is she still scared even though I reassured her?

I reached out to Jinhyang with a sorry heart.

Crackle-

I couldn’t easily approach because of the aura rising from her body.

It was hard to even lift my head.

“Boss?”

What on earth is going on?

Jinhyang, whom I had never seen before, was standing there, looking up from her feet to her face.

It was to the extent that she could be called a demon.
