598 – The Ugly One

598 – The Ugly One

The sauna was so hot it could be compared to lava, and the children and I couldn’t dare approach it.

As we backed away from the heat, Sophia let out a hearty laugh and entered the sauna.

“Sang-oh…!”

“Wow.”

The children were either surprised or exclaimed in admiration as they watched Sophia enter the sauna.

That’s how unbearable the heat of this sauna was for us.

“Sophia, isn’t the sauna hot?”

“Not at all, it’s just refreshing.”

“Ew.”

Not hot with this heat?

Is it because Sophia’s body is strong?

If so, Saebyeok might be able to handle it too.

“Saebyeok.”

I looked back at Saebyeok next to me.

Saebyeok had retreated as far away as possible.

Even Saebyeok, who was physically strong, seemed to dislike the heat of the sauna.

“Saebyeok, do you not like the sauna?”

“Yeah.”

I thought so.

I was about to tell Sophia that I didn’t think I could go into the sauna.

Gaeul shouted at Sophia with a very surprised face.

“Myeochi! Myeochi!”

“You little rascal, calling her a anchovy.”

“···Annya?”

“No, why would I become an anchovy.”

“Huh?”

Did she think that if I wasn’t going to become an anchovy, there was no reason to be in a hot place?

After thinking for a while, Gaeul opened her mouth.

“···Ojjingo?”

“I’m not a squid either.”

“······?”

Gaeul, who was bewildered, ran off somewhere.

Just as I was about to ask Gaeul where she was going, Levinas rushed into the sauna with a shout.

“······!”

The heat of the sauna was considerable, and Levinas’s ears repeatedly went up and down, unable to get a grip.

His ears drooped because it was too stuffy, and then stood up again in surprise at the unimaginable heat.

“Levinas, are you okay?”

“N-No! It’s hard, but I’m enduring it!”

“Enduring?”

“Yes…! Levinas is enduring to become a Horned Rabbit, the hero of the Fire Dragon…!”

A Horned Rabbit, the hero of the Fire Dragon.

I guess Levinas also thought the heat of the sauna was like lava.

To be able to endure in that sauna for so long.

Just as I was thinking how amazing he was, Bomi looked disappointed.

“Levinas, you decided to be the Horned Rabbit, the hero of the Black Dragon, not the Fire Dragon.”

“I’m combining the Black Dragon and the Fire Dragon! I’m the Horned Rabbit, the hero of the Black Dragon and the Fire Dragon!”

“Wow, that would be amazing.”

Bomi exclaimed, but Levinas couldn’t stick out his chest.

He just ran out of the sauna in a hurry, unable to withstand the heat.

He went in and out.

He went in and then out again.

Levinas was tempering himself in the sauna.

Haneul, who was watching this, seemed to have gained courage, and ran into the sauna with a clenched fist.

“Wow.”

Haneul, who had gone deep into the sauna, sat next to Sophia.

She sat there without repeating the in-and-out routine like Levinas.

“Haneul, are you okay?”

“Yes, yes…! It’s bearable…!”

The tiger’s mental strength is amazing.

Should I follow Haneul’s example and go inside?

After thinking about it for a while, I clenched my fist and went into the sauna.

“Heok…!”

An exclamation of shock came out at the heat of the sauna.

I wanted to get out right away, but I decided to endure it a little longer.

“Kids, if it’s too hard, don’t push yourselves and get out. Got it?”

“Yes…”

I was enduring the heat of the sauna with my body hunched over.

Gaeul, who had gone outside, came back with her body soaking wet.

“Gaeul, where did you go?”

“Yeongmok.”

“Pond?”

“Heck…”

Gaeul, who was looking at the sauna with frightened eyes, made a fierce expression as if she had overcome her fear.

“Yak!”

Gaeul comes into the sauna with a shout.

Then she unfolded the folded newspaper and put it on the floor.

‘That’s…’

Four Giant Minnows were placed on the unfolded newspaper.

I could instinctively realize what Gaeul was trying to do.

“Gaeul, are you going to make anchovies?”

“Naeng.”

Giant Minnow anchovies.

It was a dish I had never thought of.

I wonder if I can eat it.

I was going to watch the process of the Giant Minnows being dried, but I couldn’t stand it and ran outside.

I couldn’t dare to withstand the heat of the sauna.

**

I couldn’t stand the sauna and came out.

Among the children, only Haneul enjoyed the sauna.

“Haneul, are you okay?”

“Yes. It’s gotten cooler since I’ve been here.”

“Haneul knows a thing or two.”

Sophia stroked Haneul’s head.

It was an hour later that the two of them came out of the sauna.

The two of them came out with their bodies soaked in sweat.

To be in that lava cave for an hour.

Surprised, we ran towards them.

“Myeochi! Horangimyeochi!”

Did she think her body had shrunk from the heat of the sauna?

Gaeul poked here and there on their bodies.

The skin poked with her finger is soft.

Only after confirming that did Gaeul feel relieved.

“Haneul, are you okay?”

“Yes…! I feel refreshed…!”

Refreshed.

Maybe our Haneul is a grandma?

I chuckled inwardly.

“Oh, right. Sophia, we moved our house.”

“Yes, I heard you got a bigger house.”

“Yes. It’s one floor below the top of the guild.”

“If it’s there…”

The tip of Sophia’s tail fluttered.

She seemed to know what the new house was for.

“It’s a good thing the guild Master is taking care of you.”

“Yes. Our uncle is the best.”

I showed Sophia the new house.

Even Sophia was surprised by the unimaginable size.

“At this rate, there will be plenty of rooms left over.”

“Yes. I think I need to think about how to divide and use the rooms.”

It’s an amazing house no matter how many times I look at it.

I couldn’t thank our Master enough times.

I was thinking about going back to thank him again when I looked up at the ceiling.

‘It’s about here.’

I walked around the house and found a place right below Master’s office.

I was hoping that if I knocked on the ceiling here, Master would answer.

‘It’s a soundproof building, but Master is the best adventurer.’

I looked around for something to climb on.

But the ceiling of the house was so high that even if I stacked three chairs, I couldn’t reach the ceiling.

‘I’ll just have to jump.’

I jumped up and knocked on the ceiling with a thick can of ham.

After repeating the jumping and knocking three times, I shouted at the ceiling.

“Uncle! Thank you for the house!”

I wonder if my voice reached our Master.

After staring at the ceiling for a while, I heard three knocks from above.

Master had answered my thank you.

“Wow.”

I didn’t think this would actually work.

I felt good thinking that I was getting closer to our Master in terms of distance.

I decided to have many conversations with our Master here in the future.

**

Haneul and Sophia finished showering in the new house.

We took a monumental first break and then went out again.

We weren’t really planning to do anything, just walk around the neighborhood and play.

“Wanga, shall we go there today?”

“Yeah. Let’s do that.”

I walked around the neighborhood with the children.

It was a road I had been to many times, but it was fun every time I went.

Of course, it was because I was with the children.

‘There’s a fish store over there, and a vegetable store over there…’

While looking around the stores, I found an amazing product at the vegetable store.

[Ugly Potatoes 10KG 10,000 won.]

Potatoes are only 10,000 won for 10KG.

It was a potato that wasn’t grown by consuming a lot of soil power, so I felt like I was getting a good deal being able to buy it so cheaply.

Of course, I didn’t know if magically grown crops consumed soil power, but I was trying to refrain from it as much as possible.

“Hello. Is this potato 10,000 won?”

“Yeah. It’s cheap because it’s ugly.”

Even if the potatoes were bumpy and ugly, there was no difference in taste.

There were endless dishes that could be made with potatoes, so there was no reason not to buy them.

“Please give me one box of this.”

“Okay.”

Saebyeok held the ugly potatoes I bought.

10KG was a burden to me.

“Hehe.”

I feel like I got a good deal.

I’m going to have a potato party with the kids at home.

My tail was swaying, but for some reason, Gaeul and Levinas’s expressions weren’t good.

They looked very angry.

“Woo.”

Gaeul pouted, and Levinas stomped on the floor with an angry expression.

I didn’t know what they were so angry about.

“Kids, what’s wrong?”

“Jjuin annyandae!”

“Majo!”

“Uh, uh?”

What isn’t it?

I just looked around at the children’s faces.

Haneul, Saebyeok, and Bomi were also surprised and didn’t open their mouths.

“Kids, what isn’t it?”

“Mongnanni!”

“Ugly?”

“Naeng!”

Gaeul kicked into the air.

For the gentle Gaeul to do that, I could tell she was very angry.

“Vegetable uncle is bad! Wang is not ugly, but he said she’s ugly!”

“To me? When?”

“He said Wang is ugly, so he gave her the potatoes cheaply!”

“Oh… oh…?”

I retraced the conversation I had with the vegetable store uncle.

-Yeah. It’s cheap because it’s ugly.

Could it be that they thought I was ugly, so I got the potatoes cheaply?

“Sob sob, how could he say such terrible things…!”

Levinas was so heartbroken that he even knelt down.

It seemed the children had misunderstood.
