It was a fulfilling day. I made money by selling Min-Earcher, and I also made two new family members! Oh, Min-Earcher hasn’t been sold yet. It’s not even finished!

Besides, the color-blind haven’t been officially accepted yet. If I feed them, won’t Narin understand?

Uh… … . Now that I think about it, nothing really came true. But everything will be okay.

The color bird was a loudmouth, but he also knew how to be quiet when told to be quiet.

No, the words aren’t that flashy. There’s just a slight problem with the word choice.

Maybe he doesn’t know what the word he’s using means and is just using it as an exclamation. So, you can gradually correct it.

If you just tell them not to use it, they’ll just use it more out of rebellion, so you just don’t respond and try to get them to move on to something better.

Just a little while ago, instead of shouting “Ssaeaeksseueu”, you used other exclamations like “What the f*ck!”

So, there’s no need to worry about Saekmusae. What I’m more worried about is Jihyun.

Because I was just sitting in a box with a color bird, looking out through a hole I had made inside until the sun went down.

We’re all not that big, so the box won’t be that cramped, but it’ll be pitiful if we just come home and do that.

The color bird was fine. It wasn’t scared at all, and was just playing around, looking out through the holes that Hamshik had made with his teeth.

“There is no ham diet. There is! Ham diet is gone. It is visible! ”

Even just playing peek-a-boo is fun, even though Hamshik-i walks around without even looking at him.

But Ji-hyun is clearly anxious. Is she anxious about being in an unfamiliar house? Or is she anxious about being kicked out again?

If not, maybe they did some bad experiments at the lab. They even reported it, but they are worried because they spilled the drug and became so small.

They say that if you do bad things, you get punished. But if you were a truly bad person, you wouldn’t have reported the lab that was conducting illegal experiments in the first place. And you wouldn’t be so anxious.

I don’t know what Jihyun has done so far. I can’t forgive her for the things she did wrong.

Even if my body became like that and I was kicked out of the place I used to live, that was enough punishment. It’s not something I can say.

“Your name is Jihyun, right? How old are you?”

Still, I don’t like the idea of leaving the person I took in who had no place to go to die like that.

So I finished making the head and body of the squirrel girl and decided to make the rest tomorrow. After uploading the video of me filming it, I approached Jihyun.

I don’t know how to edit yet, and I was running low on battery while filming, so I just uploaded it all.

“I’m twenty-seven, but… … .”

Jihyun hesitated to answer my question. I was a little flustered. She seemed very intimidated, so I thought she was my younger sibling, but she turned out to be a bit older than I thought.

Yes, since you are a researcher, you must have graduated from university, have a bachelor’s or doctorate degree, or work there.

If you think about it, it’s a reasonable age. But still, this is a bit difficult.

To me, Na-rin is enough for my sister. Na-rin is the one who picked up Ham-shik and me, so it’s okay to call her “sister”, which makes my heart flutter a little.

Hmm, this is a matter of pride. The ones who came to Narin’s house were me and Hamshik.

But I’m twenty-seven, so it’s a bit awkward for Hamshik and I to call each other “sister.”

“Ahem, since you’re newly born, your previous life age doesn’t matter! Then you’re one year old. I’m one year old now too. Let’s be friends!”

So the compromise is friends. I said that you can be friends with anyone up to ten years older or younger than you. No? I don’t know, our family decided to do that from today.

Of course, Hamshik will always be my little brother. This is an unchanging truth.

“Ah, um, yes. Now that I hear it, that seems to be the case… … . Please take care of me.”

“Friends should speak informally to each other. Okay, Jihyun?”

“Ugh, uh.”

“Friend, friend!”

The crow that had been listening to us also stuck its head through the gap that Hamshik had made and shouted.

“Ahaha, right, right. The color bird is also a friend.”

Wait, now that I think about it, the order of things is a bit messed up. Saekmusae and I are friends. Saekmusae is also friends with Hamshik. But Hamshik is my younger brother.

This color scheme has become like a really fast-paced year. But, well, I don’t think it really matters. Hamshik can’t speak anyway.

If you were going to mess with us, you should have spoken like us!

Of course, it didn’t matter to Hamshik that we became friends like this, he was just busy crawling on the floor.

There was a moment when Hamshik showed a different reaction than before. He pricked his ears and nose. He turned his gaze toward the front door.

It was just about time to get off work. He was listening to the footsteps of other people passing by outside, and he was using his senses to explore the outside world.

“Ham’s radar is activated! Beep beep!”

“Hey, why is Hamshik doing that? No, why is he doing that? Could it be that there’s a tracker out to catch us… ?”

Saekmusae was just talking excitedly, and Jihyun was muttering words full of worry as she watched Hamshik like that.

A tracker. Oh, did you think the captured researchers might come looking for you?

Hmm, I’m a little worried about that too. Everyone was arrested and will go to jail, but maybe we should prepare some countermeasures.

I need to buy some self-defense equipment. Something we can use. I need to make a security device for my house in a hurry.

Of course, we are much smaller than the main characters in that movie. But since there are four of us, can’t we make up for the size with numbers?

“Don’t worry. Hamshik is looking around because he heard footsteps outside. He’s checking to see if Na-rin is coming or not! It’s work time.”

Anyway, let’s talk about that later, but for now, I explained Hamshik’s routine.

I see it every day, but it might seem like an oddity to other people. So I need to explain it.

Only then did Jihyun finally feel relieved, as a thud was heard from inside the box. No, was it because she had lost strength due to tension?

Well, anyway. Hamshik looked at the front door, then quickly turned his gaze away. Then he felt a noise outside, looked at the front door again, and did something else several times.

It’s not the sound of high heels, nor the sound of slightly heavy shoes. It’s not the sound of something being dragged.

When the sound of soft sneakers approaching with a light click began to be heard, Hamshik sprinted to the front door.

I, too, grabbed Hamshik by the side hair and quickly climbed onto his back.

“Narin is my older sister!”

“Bar, you knew that just by hearing the footsteps?”

“Haha, Hamshik has good ears so he can tell the difference! I got used to it as I kept listening.”

“Ham diet radar! Ham diet radar! Totally shocking Pippo Makguksu!”

“What is this, Saekmusae? Praise me too.”

“If Namin doesn’t praise, people die! Just the head falls off! Praise him so much!”

“Is that a compliment?”

Thanks to Jihyun and Saekmusae making such a lot of noise, I was a bit out of it. But I think this is better than me mumbling to myself in a house where Narin isn’t around.

Now I just hoped Narin would like it.

As expected, the ham diet that had been hardened for several days and my intuition were accurate, I heard the sound of someone pressing the front door password. We had properly identified the sound of Narin’s footsteps.

“Namina, Hamsik. Sister is here… … ?”

Today, too, a warm, savory, and rich smell wafted from the flat paper box that Narin had brought.

Today is pizza. I think she bought it with the intention of eating it with us, but Narin looked very flustered because we weren’t the only ones who heard the noise in the house.

“You’re back! I came with Jihyun and Saekmusae!”

“Ah, it was Jihyun. But a color bird… … . A parrot?”

Jihyun, it was okay since you were originally talking to Narin. But I have to introduce you to Saekmusae.

So, I was thinking about how I should tell Narin to give me permission and that I should pack her some food.

The magpie folded one wing like a waiter and introduced himself very fluently.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Saekmusae. I was abandoned on the side of the road, but I became friends with Jihyun here and wandered around. Then, I was guided here by the guardian of freedom, Bulgur. Excuse me, but is it okay if I settle down here?”

What, he wasn’t like that originally. Did he figure out that he had to look good to the owner of this house to be indebted to him?

“Oh, oh, oh. You speak really well. Yeah, I was worried that Na-min might be lonely on her own even though she lives with Ham-shik. That’s perfect. Welcome. ”

The angel-like Narin was a bit embarrassed, but politely accepted the saxophone. Then, the saxophone stretched out its two wings and shouted.

“Oh my god!”

Narin’s eyes widened.
