652 – The Secret Base of Dance

652 – The Secret Base of Dance

Doom chick, doom chick-

Levinas shook his shoulders to the rhythm.

Levinas’s excited appearance made me feel good for no reason.

“Levinas, are you dancing?”

“Yes! This is a secret dance base, so Wang has to dance too!”

“A secret dance base?”

It certainly looked that way in Levinas’s eyes.

Numerous people were shaking their bodies to the music in the underground world late at night.

It might have felt like a new discovery in an adventure.

“How did you even think of creating a secret dance base?!”

“Well… actually…”

Just as I was about to tell Levinas about the nightclub, the children began to come down to the underground one by one.

Our children had used their unique speed to break through the guards guarding the club entrance.

“Wow, what is this place?”

“It looks like a space for dancing…!”

“That’s right! Everyone, dance quickly!”

Watching Levinas dance with a doom chick, doom chick rhythm, the children also started dancing along.

Bomi, who was carrying the sleeping Saebyeok on her back, only bobbed her head from side to side.

I was happy that the children were having fun, but unfortunately, we shouldn’t be here.

I decided to gather the children and go outside, but then I heard someone’s voice from afar.

In case of an unknown situation, I focused my senses and could hear all the voices nearby.

“What? The kids came inside?”

“Yes. So, what should we do about this…”

“What do you mean, what should we do?! Scold them, or give them a flick on the forehead and send them out!”

“A flick on the forehead…?”

“Ha, you frustrating fool, come with me.”

Two men with the sturdy build of guards approached us.

Were they really going to flick us on the forehead?

It was true that we were the ones who did wrong, but I didn’t want the children to get flicked.

This was the moment I resolved to be the one to get scolded as the representative.

“……!”

The man who made eye contact with me flinched and slowly began to back away.

He looked quite surprised.

“Hey, why are the Dawn kids here?”

“I don’t know, so what about the flick?”

“Would I hit them?! Do I want to ruin someone’s life?!”

So, they’re not going to flick us?

Why are they suddenly acting like this?

Maybe it’s because our children are too young, I thought.

‘Did they think we were high school students or something?’

Doo chick, doo chick-

With the dancing children beside me, I continued to listen to my surroundings.

Amidst the club’s atmosphere filled with excitement, questions were rising.

“Hey, there are Beastmen kids over there?”

“Kids? Why are kids coming to a place like this?”

“They must have wandered in by mistake.”

“Well, they wouldn’t have come knowing what this place is.”

Amidst the murmurs of the people, the guards who had retreated began to approach again.

The one who seemed to be the highest-ranking bent his knees and waist slightly and spoke to us.

“Hey kids, this is a place where children aren’t allowed.”

“I’m sorry… We smelled mangoes and came in…”

“Mangoes?”

“Yes. There’s a pregnant person among our neighbors, and they said they wanted to eat mangoes.”

“Ah… So you came all the way here to get mangoes?”

“Yes… But everyone was dancing, so we danced together…”

Should I tell the truth honestly?

The one who spoke to us said to his subordinate.

“Hey, bring some of the leftover mangoes.”

“Yes.”

The young guard brought a basket full of mangoes.

Wagging their tails at the thought of accomplishing their mission, they took out their coin purses.

“No need for money, just take them.”

“No, we should pay properly…”

“It’s okay, it’s not like it’s worth much. Thanks to Dawn, people can enjoy themselves safely even at night, so think of it as a reward.”

“Uh… um…”

“Didn’t you say the pregnant woman is waiting?”

“Yes, yes…! Then I’ll work hard to protect you in the future…!”

“Okay, thank you.”

I received the basket of mangoes from him.

Holding the basket full of mangoes, I looked back at the children who were still dancing.

“Hey kids, we got the mangoes, so let’s go now.”

“What?! Where did you get the mangoes?!”

Were they too focused on dancing?

Levinas didn’t seem to have seen what had just happened.

I decided to tell a fun lie here.

“Levinas danced so well that we received them as a prize for winning.”

“Huh?! Did Levinas win?!”

“Yes. It’s all thanks to Levinas.”

“……!”

Levinas’s Horned Rabbit ears perked up.

Levinas expressed his joy by shaking his body wildly at an even faster pace than before.

“Levinas has always been a great dancer!”

“Yes. Levinas dances really well.”

“Hehe.”

“Shall we go back to give the mangoes now?”

“Yes!”

I left the club with the children.

Our steps back were light, and the dark alleyway was no longer scary.

“Mangoes! The mangoes have arrived!”

“Mangu!”

We were able to return to the Ggaemmi Guild with the mangoes in high spirits.

Our neighbor, Bae Ji-yeon, looked surprised, as if she didn’t expect us to actually get mangoes.

“Kids, where did you get mangoes at this hour?”

“Levinas got them by winning a dance battle!”

“Gaeulridu chyeotto!”

“I, I didn’t dance well, but I danced with them…”

“Dance?”

Bae Ji-yeon looked bewildered as she looked at the children puffing out their chests, but she didn’t ask any further.

She simply thanked us.

“I really wanted to eat mangoes, what should I do to thank you? I want to give you something in return.”

“It’s okay. We’re neighbors.”

“Ah… then it’s not much of a reward, but Auntie will cut the mangoes for you, do you want to eat them together?”

“Yes, I like that.”

So, we all shared the mangoes together.

Eating mangoes at a time when we should have been sleeping made them even more delicious, thanks to the sense of guilt.

**

Was it because of the adventure to get mangoes last night?

I ended up waking up an hour later than usual.

Sleeping in.

It’s kind of refreshing.

As I rubbed my eyes and came outside, I could see Sophia sitting in the massage chair.

“Sophia.”

“Have you awakened?”

“Yes.”

I slowly walked towards Sophia, but for some reason, Sophia’s eyes were narrowed.

It seemed like she was trying to examine me.

“Sophia, what’s wrong?”

“…Where did you go last night?”

“Ah…”

Sophia knew we went out.

I told Sophia about what happened last night without lying.

The part that surprised Sophia the most in the whole story was the pheromones.

“How fascinating, to instinctively sense someone who needs help.”

“I guess it’s my new ability.”

“Yes, it seems that the ability of the second blessing is slowly being revealed.”

Ah, blessing.

Come to think of it, I ate two blessings.

I thought a new ability had suddenly manifested, but it didn’t seem so sudden.

“Will I suddenly become super strong or something?”

“Um…”

Sophia hesitated to answer my playful question.

Judging by her cautious look, it seemed like she didn’t think I would become strong.

Well, I thought the same way too.

“Strength is… would be difficult…?”

“Well… ability isn’t all about strength. Don’t be too disheartened.”

“It’s okay. I have Saebyeok.”

Was it thanks to sleeping the most soundly among us last night?

Just in time, Saebyeok opened the bedroom door and came out.

“Saebyeok, did you sleep well?”

“Yes. I slept well thanks to having a fun dream.”

“A fun dream? What kind of dream did you have?”

“A dream about going to find mangoes.”

“Huh.”

That wasn’t a dream, it was real.

It seemed that Saebyeok had mistaken everything for a dream while she was asleep.

“We got mangoes by winning a dance battle and shared them with everyone.”

“Wow, was it delicious?”

“Yes. It was really delicious even in my dream.”

That’s because the children put mangoes in Saebyeok’s mouth while she was sleeping.

Saebyeok chewed on the mangoes well even while sleeping.

“Talking about mangoes suddenly makes me want to eat mangoes.”

“There are mangoes at home, do you want to eat them?”

“There are?”

“Yes.”

Thanks to bringing a lot of mangoes yesterday, there were quite a few left.

When I brought the mangoes, Sophia peeled them, and Saebyeok ate them deliciously.

“Wow.”

Saebyeok was surprised, saying that the taste of the mangoes was the same as the taste of the mangoes she ate in her dream.

I couldn’t help but giggle at the funny sight.

**

Morning time.

I was walking in the park with Hanyeoreum, Jeong Yuna, and Choi Jin-hyuk.

As the four of us were chatting casually and heading towards the Ggaemmi Guild, Saebyeok was standing in front of the guild container wearing black clothes and sunglasses.

“Saebyeok, what are you doing?”

“I’m a guard.”

“Really? How did you wear sunglasses?”

“Bomi made ears with magic.”

I see.

But why a guard all of a sudden?

I opened the container door in bewilderment.

I couldn’t help but be taken aback by the situation inside the guild that was revealed.

-Invincible Horned Rabbit! The strongest Horned Rabbit!

The Animal King theme song was playing loudly in the container.

The sound was quite loud, but it wasn’t leaking outside, so it was clear that they had cast a soundproofing spell.

“What, what is this…?”

My surprise wasn’t just because of the soundproofing magic.

Green, blue, yellow, and even red.

My eyes widened at the interior of the building, which was flashing with various colors.

Tusha tusha-

Our children were dancing hard inside.

“Hey kids, what is all this?”

“It’s Levinas’s secret dance base!”

“Secret dance base?”

“Yes!”

Flash, flash-

The colorful lights dyed Levinas’s face in various colors.

When I turned to the side, Haneul, wearing sunglasses, was manipulating the machine and controlling the lights.

“Oh my god.”

Our children have been influenced by the club.

Fortunately, it was a healthy children’s club.
