Suddenly, we disposed of the white rat.

If the white rat is the culprit of this rat commotion as Sylvia, Ilseong, and Cat Mom predicted… then we have truly accomplished something big.

However, even though the white rats were disposed of, Miller Town’s rat population did not disappear instantly.

First of all, it seemed like Sylvia was planning to involve the Silver Side’s security office.

And as Youngmin said, on the day the white rat was disposed of, the entire office withdrew from Cat Mom’s headquarters.

Except for Deoksu and Youngmin.

“If anything happens, please contact me right away.”

“Okay, don’t worry!”

At Ilsung’s request, Cat Mom told him not to worry because she would come back at any time.

Looking at the conversation between the two, it didn’t seem like they were an ordinary friend.

“What, are those guys leaving already?”

Astoby grumbled in a dissatisfied voice.

“The big problem is over.”

However, to appease Astoby, Sylvia gave him tea that she had brought from somewhere.

“I heard from Olivia that Astoby and Datihi finished the work in an instant.”

“Ha! That’s not a big deal.”

“Still, Olivia was very thankful. How about the two of you stop working now and take a break?”

Astoby seemed very disappointed in Sylvia’s words.

In fact, he was not active even when the battle with the white rat took place.

Of course that’s it! I headed into Cat Mom’s base with Youngmin.

“Oh, it’s still like that.”

“Chris! Save me!”

Silas shouts to me and Youngmin.

But, taking that as a signal, Silas brothers now attacked me and Youngmin.

“Chris!”

“Aaagh!”

I was my true self now, but there were so many cats.

Silas’ brothers were calling my name like Silas.

“Is this Chris’ boyfriend?”

“….”

It depends on what your definition of a boyfriend is, right?

While I was thinking for a moment, Youngmin and Silas’ eyes were focused on me.

“Yes… and maybe not?”

“Hey, what is that!”

Silas’ brothers reacted as if they were frustrated with the vague answer.

“What does it matter!”

Although it was a bit of a shout-out, it seemed important to Youngmin and Silas.

To be honest, it was really difficult for me to say anything because I hadn’t made up my mind about that part.

Plus… As far as Youngmin knows, I am currently a 1-year-old child.

Taking that into account, I can say that Youngmin’s approach to me was extremely inappropriate!

If you look at it the other way around, it would mean that he likes me that much.

***

At some point I needed to reveal that I was never a one-year-old.

“Now, let’s not stay here like this, let’s go inside.”

But now I want to watch TV first!

Cat Mom’s home base was also a place where people lived, so everything was there. When I entered the room, I looked for the remote control.

Well, the remote control looks like a flounder here as well.

After turning on the TV with the spacious remote control, I started watching TV with Youngmin.

As Cat Mom’s cats gathered around us, it felt like we were surrounded by soft cushions.

iced coffee….

Isn’t this heaven where you can touch cats no matter where you stretch your arms?

“Chris, the news is boring.”

Meanwhile, right before I turned on the news channel, Sheila said something.

But I couldn’t agree with what Sheila said.

News channels are the most fun not only in Maguspol but also in the real world where I was.

When you watch the news, all the absurdities of the world come into view at a glance.

Sometimes, news channels were funnier than comedians.

“….”

Sure enough, it was Miller Town’s rats that took over the current news channel.

Giants boasting enormous size.

So, the sight of large stone statues being sent in made it feel like some kind of war had occurred.

For reference, the large gargoyle that pulled out my wings was ‘small’ in the statue category.

What are the giants that belong to the ‘large’ category? Colossi statues of Rhodes? It seemed to be about that size.

There wasn’t just one such guy, but several entities heading to Miller Town.

However, perhaps due to the disappearance of the white rats, the rats were being exterminated by the solvers instead of moving in an organized manner.

“Youngmin, that’s 3rd in the rankings, right?”

“Yes.”

When asked about a woman who briefly appeared on the news screen, Youngmin nodded and told us.

The ability to kill numerous rats with one action in a short amount of time.

Among all the city’s troubleshooters, he deservedly ranks third.

In the game, there is a quest line related to the top level solvers.

In some cases, you can fight with the parties… In some cases, the perceived difficulty of 3rd place was considered higher than 2nd place.

In addition, the second place had a laid-back personality and had a familiar image of a father-in-law because of someone else, but the third place was not.

It doesn’t feel like you don’t know where things will go like Joker. That type of thing is so boring these days.

She is more of the type that persistently harasses those she finds interesting. Oh, the Joker also persistently harasses Batman, so is this somewhat similar?

However, I don’t know much about moderation. So much so that he uses the power of the 3rd place solver without hesitation.

It was not for nothing that Sylvia called her a strange woman.

“Youngmin, have you ever met No. 3?”

“No. But I don’t want to see you again in the future.”

“Why?”

“Ilsung hyung once told me about it.”

“What, has Ilseong ever met the third place?”

“A few times.”

***

In some cases, I thought it might be similar to or better than Sylvia.

“I hate the news!”

“Watch something other than the news!”

The sounds of Sheila and her brothers expressing their distress on the news channel felt like a chorus of choir boys.

As I moved my arms like a conductor, Youngmin had to suppress his laughter.

“I… how’s the news? What do you guys want to see in the first place?”

“Drama!”

“A movie!”

Dramas and movies from the Dream City universe?

For a cat, these guys seemed to have a pretty nasty hobby.

All stories are full of competition, and I’ve never seen any other story other than ki-win-jeon-su.

“No. That’s… not good for your education.”

“Mother didn’t say that!”

Well, it seemed like the cat mom needed to pay closer attention in this area.

“Chris, why don’t you show it instead of doing that?”

oh my god! Has Youngmin become accustomed to Maguspol’s vulgar video media?

But I was a person who knew how to respect democracy.

“Okay! You can just play it. Instead, there is a condition!”

I slipped the square-shaped remote control into the cats.

Because if you throw it, the cats could get hurt.

“The guy who gets the remote control last gets to watch the channel he wants!”

“Wow!”

Cat Mom’s cats immediately started to tangle with each other excitedly.

Of course, they weren’t fighting each other seriously, but seeing so many cats intertwined to get what they wanted… wasn’t bad.

When I smiled happily at the sight, Youngmin’s expression showed that he was scared of me.

Soon, as time got late, the other party members also returned to Cat Mom’s base.

“Chris, I was wondering where you went, but you were here?”

“Yes, Youngmin and I came in first and were watching TV.”

“Sila, can you give me the remote control for a moment?”

“Yes!”

The final winner of the remote control was… not Scylla.

However, when Sylvia called out to Silas and asked for the remote control, the cats obediently handed it over.

The channel Sylvia chose was….

“Ahh!”

“News again!”

It was a news channel! After all, Sylvia knows something.

“It looks like the rat colony is being dealt with as planned.”

“Of course, that’s right. Because that much effort was put into it.”

Datihi said as he appeared from the passageway where Silvia entered.

Afterwards, Astoby and Cat Mom also appeared.

“Kids! I have to eat dinner!”

At the cat mom’s loud noise, the cats except Silas began to leave the room.

Looking at those guys reminded me of running like crazy during lunch time during my school days.

“Now that I think about it, we haven’t had dinner yet.”

***

Before our eyes were focused on the cat mom after my words.

Cat Mom told me to wait a moment even if it wasn’t so.

True to her title, it seemed inevitable that cats would take precedence over people.

“Sila, you should go too.”

“I want to stay a little longer.”

“Sila, don’t do that, let’s go quickly.”

Youngmin went outside, holding Silas next to me, who was trying to hold on a little longer.

How funny it was to see Sheila’s face looking dumbfounded at Youngmin who suddenly hugged her.

Meanwhile, after providing food for her children, the cat mom prepared a meal for us.

“Surely it’s not canned food?”

“…Chris. What strange things are you saying?”

No, I’m not saying canned food is bad.

However, as Sylvia responded, Cat Mom brought proper cooking, not canned food.

There were many types, but what caught my eye was meat.

Stew and meat! That was enough.

I didn’t specifically drain blood from my body this time, but nutrients are always important.

However… I was almost full as I watched Astoby eat food at an incredible speed next to me.

Wouldn’t it have been incredibly popular if the mukbang had been held in the real world rather than in the Dream City universe?

“Chris, is it rude for you to keep looking at me like that?”

“Silvia is always looking at me, right?”

“….”

Sylvia seemed to have nothing to say in response to my counterattack, so she turned her attention to the food.

Cat Mom and Datihi laughed when they saw that.

Once the meal was over, time passed faster.

Even though the white rat was disposed of, it didn’t change the fact that we had to find food and lodging at Cat Mom’s home base.

“Now, this is Youngmin’s seat.”

“Chris, where do you sleep?”

“I’m between Sylvia and Astoby.”

Youngmin tried to pretend not to care about the fact that his position was between Astobi and Datihi.

If Astoby had a more considerate personality, he might have changed it.

“Astoby, wait a minute.”

“Huh?”

But suddenly Datihi called Astobi.

After a few words of conversation, Youngmin’s seat was replaced with Astoby’s.

…What the heck, that guy!

Datihi clicked his tongue and pretended like nothing had happened.

Thanks to this, I got to sleep with Sylvia and Youngmin on my left and right. Of course, before I knew it, Silas had come up next to me.

He left his cat home and came to my side.

Well, it wasn’t a bad thing as it was full of people I became friends with after coming to this world.

But how long has it been since I fell asleep?

Coo! A sound of the ground shaking was heard.

A feeling of something rumbling deep in the ground.

But it continued again and again. I thought there was an earthquake nearby.

“….”

And I wasn’t the only one who woke up.

Sylvia and Youngmin, as well as Datihi and Astoby, were all rolling their eyes here and there in the dark.

Should we call it the instinct of problem solvers?

“Silvia, what do you mean?”

“…It must be the sound of giants moving.”

Beings of that size make sounds like this just by moving.

If it felt like this, I wondered if the giants had arrived in Miller Town.

“I’m not good at sleeping.”

In the darkness, I could see Datihi wagging his tongue as he spoke indifferently.

“Chris, I’m scared.”

Silas trembled and clung to me.

Then Youngmin next to me flinched.

Really. He’s an easy guy to understand.

We could no longer sleep because of the footsteps of the giants.

Even if I continued to lie down, I was in no condition to fall asleep due to periodic shocks.

I briefly walked out of Cat Mom’s home base with Scylla on my head.

The sun had not risen yet, but it was an odd time with signs of the sun rising soon.

“…Huh?”

Meanwhile, I saw a familiar figure in the distance. Frank, the vampire hunter.

He said he would watch me from a distance of 100 meters. I wondered if he was really watching me, but I could see him through the trees near his base.

No, if you keep watching, it would be better if you help the white rat when it appears.

Despite my boiling insides, I waved at him.

Then Frank also waved his hand as if responding to me.

‘No, don’t react!’

He was truly an unknown person.
