What is cute? Most people say that small, round, and fluffy things are cute.

And when they see something like that, most people try to show that they are harmless by smiling relaxedly.

Of course, there are times when they show aggression, such as wanting to bite or pull the ball. They say that this is also the brain secreting hormones on alert to maintain emotional balance.

I don’t know the details. But anyway, Baek Mi-so knew that because of that, cute things could strengthen their survival skills and easily obtain resources such as food through that harmless-looking appeal.

But I don’t want to think about such complicated things. Is it wrong to just like cute things? Is it wrong to like things that make you feel good when you pet them for no reason?

But caring for a living being was difficult. The splendid affection of a living being that looked only at itself was certainly heart-warming, but the sense of loss that followed.

Small and cute things don’t live long. Unless they are long-lived species like turtles, most of them will leave this world before Baek Mi-so.

I have already experienced enough of such losses. How many times have I seen calves that I had personally raised, though bloodshot and somewhat turbulent, become mothers and then die of old age?

However, we cannot keep the cute-looking alien races that came from beyond the gate as pets. After all, aren’t they intelligent beings?

We can be friends, but I’m afraid of becoming family. If one of us dies first while we’re giving each other affection and loving each other, that seems too cruel.

But asking to be buried together when the breath has not yet died is too cruel. In this day and age, how can we have burial without mercy?

So Baek Mi-so collected dolls and figures. Even collecting works that were appealing to her wasn’t easy.

The dolls sold on the market are just pieces of rags that have not been made with any sincerity, and they are of poor quality and are sold at high prices.

However, if you look for figures, most of them are cold industrial products that are simply made with a 3D printer these days.

Those who handled the dolls that Baek Mi-so wanted, made with such care, were all working as puppeteers or were in the process of doing so.

Of course, the reality is that the price is rising to a level that is burdensome for someone who just wants to keep it at home, caress it, and admire it with their eyes.

So Baek Mi-so was always thirsty. In this creative field, if you just prove your skills, your price will skyrocket.

Then, by chance, while watching YouTube, I found a channel that could quench my thirst.

I just followed the YouTube algorithm and watched videos of cats, puppies, marmots, guinea pigs, squirrels, etc. and ended up watching a hamster video.

Just watching them move around makes me smile. There is nothing more fun than seeing small animals doing things that humans cannot easily understand.

But the video wasn’t just about hamsters. The original title was about a person of that size making a figure.

The channel name itself was Namin’s Min-eo-cheo. The moment she saw the introduction, Baek Mi-so’s heart started pounding.

A newly created channel. Originally, there were no humans of that size in this world, so they must have been a small alien race that came from another world.

It seemed like he was adapting to this world by uploading videos while pursuing his hobbies.

Even if you search by ID, the only account with a similar name is a travel YouTuber who stopped being active about two years ago.

Well, considering that many people create their IDs by adding a few numbers to their names or initials, it was surprising that even that was unique.

The video only shows the process of making Magical Girl Phantom Storm and Magical Girl Ruby Cherry.

Most people reacted by saying things like, “That little dwarf is cute,” or “The hamster is cute.” Of course, there were also those who were paying attention to the dexterity of the channel owner, Namin, just like him.

The moment she saw those comments, an alarm bell rang in Baek Mi-so’s head. If she left it alone, she would lose her player. If she kept going like this, that cute fairy with such great talents could fall into the hands of bad guys.

You might end up sniffing around for money, volunteering to act as an intermediary, taking on other people’s requests and passing them on to Namin, and then blindly swindling money.

The other races are vulnerable to such scams. Well, they may say they are receiving brokerage fees and that it is a legitimate business. But in Baek Mi-so’s eyes, it is still a scam.

In that case, I’ll take the first one.

– I have so much money that I can’t even call it a prize: Teacher, do you also take custom orders?

N Namin’s Min-ee-cheo: Yes, if you’re going to do it, it would be good to make money from it too!

n I have so much money that it’s suspicious: Then, could you possibly make me a furry water man?

n w3h24ne : Hey hey

Even if other people are wary of them, even if they tease them and say things like “what the hell are you going to do?”

I know it’s a minor hobby. That’s why Baek Mi-so always acts in a way that doesn’t cause others to find fault with her.

People with unique tastes must always live their lives trying to avoid being attacked by their messenger.

If you do something wrong, most people only get criticized for that. But if you do something wrong, you get criticized twice as much because people say, “That pervert is the one who makes mistakes!”

So, even though YouTube would take a commission, Baek Mi-so publicly asked Na-min to produce it.

If you don’t know your own worth, there are those who want to take advantage of you and ask you to make this or that for $4.

There are many warm people in the world, but the Internet world is full of hyenas and grasshoppers, so Baek Mi-so stepped in and set the value.

Namin’s miniature unit price starts from 1 million won.

I also planned to fulfill my hobby while doing it. However, if I were to ask her to make a full-breasted cow from the beginning, she might refuse, so for now, I made a cute squirrel named Hunter, which most people like.

I started with a form that was less repulsive, and then gradually developed it into the cute and fluffy form I wanted.

The sculpted muscles of Magical Girl Phantom Storm were well expressed, and the sharp yet attractive eyes of Magical Girl Ruby Cherry were also well expressed. So, I’m sure you can create the details you want.

While thinking like that and finishing up her afternoon schedule and eating dinner, Baek Mi-so’s cell phone rang. It was a YouTube alarm.

Which of the many alarms you have subscribed to and set up notifications for? A cat, a dog, or maybe a hedgehog.

But surprisingly, it was Namin’s Min-i-cheo channel. Did they make it all in the meantime?

I started working on the commission as soon as I received the money. There’s no need to rush it that much. But I hope they don’t force themselves to make it.

The first step is to create the character’s color. Mix several colors of clay together to create the color, and use that to create the face first.

Then suddenly, Namin and the hamster’s gaze turned elsewhere. I think it was called Hamshik.

The two went to the window and started talking to the parrot and pigeon that had come to visit outside the window.

To be exact, the pigeon was still and the parrot was talking.

I couldn’t hear what was being said outside the window very well because the sound was muffled. But if he was able to communicate with Namin, he must be speaking fluently.

“Hmm. I wasn’t really interested in birds, but when I see them chattering like that, I think they’re cute.”

Baek Mi-so felt like she had found a new cuteness. Since parrots have long life spans, wouldn’t it be worth raising one?

At that moment, when I was becoming more and more interested in parrots, I brought the parrot into the house and made it look like some special forces operation was underway with Namin and the hamster closing the window.

– What the heck!

A parrot’s cry was heard, making Baek Mi-so doubt her ears.

Of course, they say that parrots have the same intelligence as children. Do they even understand the meaning of what they are saying?

While he was blankly staring at it, the parrot looked around and shouted when he saw Namin’s work.

– What the f*ck! A person is dead! Only the head is stuck!

– Oh, that’s not a person! I’m making it.

– Wow, Creator!

– That’s not it!

There Baek Mi-so burst into laughter without resistance. Where else in the world can you find a parrot like that?

Just seeing this is enough. There’s no need for me to become a butler.

All you have to do is look at them as cute and give them some support to pay for their feed.
